Yogan's Journey to Life

I have noticed something interesting about me. I have ability to express with my eyes and face that really embody my presence, and is enjoyable for me, and I communicate with just my face/eyes using no words. It is very much a presence of myself here. I am present inside my eyes. I present with the images of this world that I see. I am here within my own presence. It is me, I am being me. It is natural and comfortable. It is real and expressive. It is deep, yet silent. It's like an extension of myself into my environment. It's like I am moving out into my surroundings and holding it within me. This causes a slight smile on my face. I enjoy being here with what is here. I enjoy my own presence. This is something I am investigating and testing out in moments. What does the eyes reveal about me, myself, I? If my eyes want to shut/close, is that because I am closing down or shutting off? If my eyes are strained is it because I am strained? If my eyes are open and natura...

For the past 2-3 Weeks I have been making vlogs. So check out my Facebook page under my videos or See my Youtube Channel: Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY4LU4QVg06KgqTCMkNUtUQ Facebook Videos https://www.facebook.com/yogan.barrientos/videos_by Today I did a vlog that relates to my early childhood. Children: Afraid to be Myself

There is a saying of do what you love to do. That if you career is something you love to do then you are lucky. That if you had a choice, you should choose what you love to do. That you have to follow your natural talent. That whatever comes easy to you, is what you should do. Etc… The above is a trap. It is a trap because look at how it limits a person if they follow this and don’t allow themselves to do something else. What about if there are things that need to be done? What if these things that need to be done are not what you love to do most? What if these things that need to be done are things you don’t like? Let’s say you do do them but resist them still because internally you want to do what you love to do. Wouldn’t be it better if you would be free of this resistance, and simply do what needs to be done? Yes it would. The commonsense is that you would be accomplishing what needs to be done, and you would do it to the utmost of your ability which include...

Video Games about managing money and the economy.   Tropico 4 and Simcity were games I played that taught me aspects about our economy. How people in charge need to make sure there is a positive flow of money. What is interesting though is that as the population of a city increases the number of jobs need to be increased otherwise you will have unemployment. If there are people without jobs, they won’t receive money. And if they don’t receive money, they will turn to a life of crime. So the best way to combat crime is to make sure everyone has a job. In the city though, the population is always increasing because people are moving in and people are having children. So in the game, I am forced to continuously make up jobs for people to do, even if there is an overflow of money already. It would be great in this game if I can have people share in doing the same jobs that already exist, and equally receive the same amount of money for less work. Because in reali...

Previous: http://yoganjourneytolife.blogspot.com/2016/09/conversations-on-oneness-and-equality-4.html Today we are looking at the oneness and equality of physical matter. Which is the potential for physical matter to take on any shape, form or expression. To start, lets consider what has been tested and shown in the physical sciences. This includes chemistry and biology. So in chemistry you have the periodic table which describes all of the atoms that known to exist. These atoms together make up all of the substances we perceive with our senses, like woods, metals, ceramics, air, water, fire etc... What is interesting about the substances that we interact with is that they can change shape, form and expression. For example, consider the miracle of fire. If you had no knowledge of fire, would you have really expected anything to occur if you continuously rub two sticks together? I mean, even heat. Would really expect that if you rub your two hands together that it would cause the sens...

Fairness, what is it? It is certainly a word. It certainly has a definition. Based on how the word is used, the word fair is often used to express an emotional protest to something, often in the contest of another receiving something more than you. Hence the phrase: "That's not fair!!!" What is interesting is that the word equal can be used, instead of fair, and equal does not have an emotional meaning. What is equal is equal. So you can say that those people and myself are not equally receiving the same thing. Naturally, anyone who is quite stable and seeing things rationally would ask why? Why is this person receiving more than me? The answer will depend on the actual practical physical context. Maybe its a game, where the winner receives a prize. So they receive the prize cause they win. It can be grades (or marks ) where a person receives a higher grade (or mark) if they answered more questions correctly. It can be many answers. What is interesting is that when ...

If you look at the size of populations of animals in an ecosystem, you notice an interesting thing. Balance is always achieved through time. This is something I learned in my biology class. You can probably find this for yourself by searching for animal populations and Biology online. Basically, you will see if one population is larger or smaller, it will affect the other populations. Let's take an example. You have a predator like a Lion, and you have a herbivore like a Gazelle. So lets say that there are very few Lions. How does this affect the Gazelle population do you think? In case you didn't know, the Lion's eat the Gazelle for food. What biologists have observed and recorded is that the population of Gazelle will increase when there are fewer predators to hunt them. But later in time, what happens is that the Lion population will grow because the Gazelle population has grown so much. Presumably this is because it is much easier to catch a Gazelle because there are ...

When I watched this movie, which is about a true story, it gave me a new picture of the world. This new picture is that the world is not a fixed or completely controlled placed. That you can indeed, to put it this way, cause the giants to bleed. In this case the NSA and United States are the giants. Where we do live in a physical world where every government and every department of government like the NSA are compromised of individuals, of people, and workers that are willingly complicit in doing their work/job. And so its possible for such individuals to decide no, to dissent. Snowden was grappling with a moral point of right and wrong. Where the government was doing something without the consent of the citizens. It is a natural thing to feel bad to do something to someone or involving their things without their permission. Privacy is one of those things. But we shouldn't call it privacy, but instead the right to be asked permission to use your property. Because with information, ...

Previous : Conversations on Oneness and Equality 3 Last time we concluded with the idea about enslavement. It was mentioned that the fact that we can enslave ourselves is evidence of oneness and equality. And a question was posed as to whether it is possible for another to enslave you. Let us discuss this further today. What is enslavement? One answer is when another has more power over you, and can control what you do. So let's imagine such a situation for ourselves: I am physically weak. Another has access to all the food, and water. If I listen to this person and do what they want I am fed and receive water. They are stronger than me, so they would over power me if I decided to fight back. So is there anything stopping me from fighting back? Yes and that is me. There are also the conditions that I can see and understand like how they are stronger than me. But I am still the one that makes the assessment and decision to not fight back. Equally so, I can decide to fight. Does ...

Previous: Conversations on Oneness and Equality 2 So the last post we ended off with the statement that emotions were substantiating a lie of a comparison between two things. Let's take this opportunity today to explain more about how our emotions influence oneness and equality, if it does at all. So from the previous posts, it may be apparent to you that I am asserting that oneness and equality already exist in some way. That it doesn't really depend on what you think about it. Indeed it is like the sun, the moon and the earth. Each exist, and you know this because they have always been there for you throughout your life, yes? Now what is interesting is that it is possible for people to deny things that are true. One question is how does denial work and how can I tell and know when I am in denial? Let's take a more controversial example than whether the sun exist. How about whether it is wrong to kill someone. Is it true that it is wrong to kill someone? What is wrong...

Previous: Conversations on Oneness and Equality 1 It has been 11 days since the last post, but here we are continuing on topic. So let's take another angled look on oneness and equality. What if we have a scenario where you have two objects or things which are exactly alike in substance, appearance, smells etc... In other words, a perfect copy. Let's take two examples. For the first lets look at atoms, specifically hydrogen atoms. For the second example let's take two human beings. So if you have two hydrogen atoms, would you say the atoms are exactly the same? According to science, they possess the exact same qualities, and behave exactly the same way in the same environment or conditions. And if you have two identical people that are exactly alike in their appearance, their bodies, their voice, their thoughts, their history, and their experiences, would you say the two people are the same? For me it is clear that the atoms are of the same type, because they are both hyd...

What is Oneness and Equality? Oneness and equality, or equality and oneness, is the basic formula or equation of life, and of our entire existence. It is sometimes called the law of balance or karma. But it goes deeper than that. It is the fundamental part of Life. For example, take a monkey and a human. Are they one and equal? They are not the same in appearance, no. They are not the same in smell, no. But is one of their appearances, better than the other's? Or is one of their smells, better than the other? I am talking here, fundamentally, objectively, undeniably better? Because I am sure you can Imagine a person having an opinion and say that one smells better or looks better than the other. But that's just an opinion. What is the TRUTH? The truth is that you cannot say as a law or a fact that one IS better or more than the other in any way. You can say however, than one may be stronger than the other in terms of what they can lift or move. You can say that one has certa...

I have been through a lot. To write it all out or to speak about it all to someone would take too long. So here is just a snapshot of what is relevant right now and here. I have found a point within me that I am keeping open and is stable. This is accessed through using the words oneness and equality, reminding myself of a committing to make money as a contribution/investment in the future, and through me seeing my design of desiring people and whatever new dimension that opens up in my day that relates to that. Each of the 3 above points deserve a blog topic of their own to explain fully. The bottom line is this, however. That, I have a path forward in my life, that is my creation, that is me, and that is real. It isn't fake. It isn't for someone else. It isn't a lie to myself. I can state and say what I am doing to someone else or anyone else. I am not ashamed of it or hiding it. I am committed to making money for our future as humanity, to change this world, that I liv...

Ever notice how in every single class, like the majority of what is taught comes straight from a textbook, or collection of books? I mean, what does the teacher do what interpret what is says in the teacher's edition of the textbook and shares their interpretation to the class. Yet the class is required to read the textbook anyway. So what's the point of the teacher really? I mean, why can't we just read the textbook and learn the material that way? That is what many people have done throughout history, learn by reading. So reading is essential. But the other essential thing is a good book, that is written well and explain what it is teaching very well. If you have a bad book or book that is plain wrong then you are wasting your time. Remember books are written by people, so a person is literally writing down their knowledge for you to learn. I mean the teacher isn't the one who wrote the textbook. All they did was read it and learn it too. So do we really need this K...

Becoming the most valuable person in existence starts with a decision. This decision is to become someone who sees every single thing that exists as no more or less than yourself, where how you live reflects that. Where when you speak to someone, it is like you are speaking to yourself, and that what you say is of the highest regard, consideration, and respect. This doesn't mean always speaking nicely or kindly, because sometimes respecting yourself means being tough on yourself. Respect, regard, and consideration is to realize the value of life that is here and to honor that and preserve that. The only value that exist is life. So you are either in life, living your utmost potential in this moment, or you are not. You either decide to live you utmost potential in this moment or not. For example, I decide to live my utmost potential in this moment. To do what is best for all, there is no greater aim. Is there anything other than everything? No. So to do what is best for everything ...

Using the extreme as a tool for living words. Something I stumbled upon yesterday was using the extreme living of a word as a clear indication of what it means to actually live a word. The reason why I say clear indication is because it wasn't really clear what it means to live a word. So perhaps you can see why it would make sense that the extreme version of living of a word would make it clear. Because its extreme, it is obviously is what it is. First though, I had to be clear about what is my mind programming. So when I am clear about that, which I can see and understand thanks to my experience of practicing, then it occurred to me how I live and create something like I had in the past. When reflecting on my past, I saw how I indeed lived the word fully, or you can say extremely. Let me share some of my personal examples. One example is when I would play like a prank involving sneaking up on someone. I would go all out with the full intent and purpose on sneaking up on som...

What do you think of a life of a person who works to make the most money he can make with his skill and ability, but then lives a very modest and austere lifestyle, and uses the money to support change in the world? I would think such an individual would be a great individual. Because they are committing their time to the fullest, and they are using their dollars to the fullest, because they are careful with money, and they use what money they can to support change in the world so that it will impact everyone. What do you think will happen if everyone does this? Or even a few more people today and each day? What if we all really value our dollars and spend it wisely? One investment is to spend your money to support the needs of a person who is dedicated and committed to daily create content to change people's awareness and support them to change themselves. This is a good investment because it is a investment in the change of people, who in turn can support and contribute to the ...

I want to be free VS. I want to take responsibility Some people say they want to be free from their mind. You can also say, free from the burden of my mind, free from haunting thoughts, free from guilty memories etc… These are all similar to saying I want to be free from my mind. If the above example is not easy to relate to, you can try others, such as I want to be free from my problems, or free from this annoying person etc… Now, compare the above examples of wanting to be free to wanting to take responsibility. Because you may say to me that you want to be free of all of these bad things that are happening in your life, but then I have to ask you are you willing to take responsibility for your life? At that moment, a person will hesitate. Why is this? This is because the person in some level of themselves know that they haven’t been taking responsibility for themselves in these situations. And the real solution to their problems IS to take responsi...

There is a responsibility for those that have access to life experience to share it. If you have experience, knowledge or training that protects you from harm, you have a responsibility to share that with those who don't have it, so that they are protected. If you see someone who is naive, and lacking the knowledge, you have the responsibility to support them to learn so as to protect themselves. IF you have knowledge or training that helps you to do something faster or better, you have the responsibility to share what you know with those who don't know so that they can do something faster or better. Otherwise, they won't know and they maybe will learn after making many mistakes, maybe. So if they harm themselves because they didn't know, it is your fault/responsibility for not sharing the information. If they choose to not listen or apply the information, you have the responsibility to insist, and even to protect them from themselves. If you allow them to harm themsel...

I have value for being alive. The most valuable thing I have is who I am. Not my possessions, skills, abilities, or experience. The most valuable thing is who I am in the decisions I make. When I am presented with a situation, the decision I make is a reflection of who I am. So if the world is hell, the decision I make is who I am. If I lose all memory, experience, and ability, the decision I make is who I am. The most valuable I have is who I am. I could lose my body, its strengths, appearance, ability, capability, but i always have myself, who I am. When I die, all I have is who I am. I am valuable, and have value in who I am. I will always have this value no matter what happens, or changes in my world, environment, or situation, or with my body. My arms, legs could be chopped off, and I still have who I am. My eyes, and ears, nose and mouth can be destroyed, but I still have who I am. What I do with what I have is my decision, and that is who I am, that is my power. Are you...

This is a mental exercise for seeing through illusions that are created through thinking about people and things. Imagine that you can see yourself before you. Make that image be the complete representation of who you are. Now, take that image of yourself and bring it to your physical body. Through your body embrace yourself. Repeat the above process with other images. Imagine your greatest enemy, villain, horror, or just someone that pisses you off. With your mind, take their image and bring it to your physical body and embrace them as yourself through your body. Do this process until you completely stand with and as everyone and everything as what is best for ALL. Decide that your relationship with everything and everyone is that of what is best for all, standing as one and equal.

So I decided to write out what person I would accept and allow as my partner. I am sharing it here and I will break it down and explain the parts. However, to really understand each part, really and fully , would require you to actually walk it and live it. Knowing something only through knowledge and knowing something through living it are different. "They would need to be, walking self-forgiveness in writing and speaking. They would need to take self-responsibility. They would need to be self-honest. They would need to be committed." Parts 1. Self-forgiveness Because that means they can change, through letting go and becoming the solution to the problem that is them, which is all done as a movement of themselves.  2. Self-Responsibility Because it means that they accept that they are responsible for everything they do and say, absolutely.  3. Self-honest Because it means that they can be honest with themselves about who they are now, wh...

Every computer program has a source code. The source code is the instructions and building blocks of the computer program. A computer program (including its source code) that is open-source means that anyone can freely use it, so everyone is like the owner of it. The advantages of open-source include that no one can keep the source code secret, hidden or sell the code. This can be particularly useful to prevent manipulation or lying, since the source code is openly exposed. For example, when people vote using computers, the votes can be manipulated. One way to check for manipulation is to look at the source code. If the source code is private then you can be denied permission to see the source code. However if the source code is open source, then any person at any time anywhere is able to check the source code to look for any manipulation of the votes. Not only that, but people can actually contribute to make the code cleaner, organized, faster and simpler. For example, if you ha...

How Desires really work Desires are things you want, for example a desire for a romantic relationship with a partner; Link: The Desire for a Life-Long Partner Test. It seems that when you a desire you would surely get what you want, right? Let's self-reflect on this question shall we? Have I fulfilled my desires and how long have I had to do so? In my life, I have had the desire for having a partner, and I am 26 years old, and so I have had 26 years to fulfill this desire. What I have seen when it came to my mind and my desire, is that who I am and how I am, is not actually built in such a way so that I would attain this desire. For example, being afraid of not having a partner, which itself prevents me from being comfortable and confident which would in theory attract a partner. Yet my fear of not having a partner is a manipulation of myself to push myself to go after a partner. And so what ends up happening is that I end up thinking about a partner, and imagining what it w...

This is a mental to test how far would you actually go when it comes to forgiving yourself. Think about all of the most horrible things possible for a person to do. These actions would be the most evil possible. Bring all of these evil actions, behaviours, habits to your attention. Imagine that you are the most evil person, and have done the most evil things. Imagine you have done these things many times over a long period of time. Imagine you are the most evil person that ever existed. Now would you forgive yourself for all the things you have done, and so change who you are, and so what you do so that it is better, and so best for everyone? In short, would you forgive yourself, which implies actually changing? Your answer to this question says something about your relationship with yourself. If you say yes you would forgive yourself even when you are the most evil person ever, it means that you are willing to forgive yourself and become better, so to change. If you say no that ...

Sound is more powerful than thought. Because, when I have a thought like: "I can't do this" and then I speak aloud "I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to think I can't do this" ; which I say in a certain way, then what I am doing is creating a sound that permeates my body, which I can sense, and because of this I know that I have the upper-hand on the thought. So therefore I say Sound is more powerful than thought. Here is another point of proof that Sound is more powerful than thought. When you speak your thoughts like "I am stupid" or "I can't do this, this is impossible," then thought has become more powerful now, because you spoke the thought. This I can sense within myself. Once I get to the point that I speak my thoughts, that thought is more powerful than it was before when it was just a thought in my head. This is why I realize that it is important that I speak aloud either Self-forgiveness, or another co...

When I am working through my thoughts and desires, something that helps me is to remind myself that I am a person. That I am not a thought or a desire, instead I am a person, that I can move or do things, create things. Saying this helps and empowers me. I am not a thought because I am a person. I am not a desire because I am a person. I can move, do, and create. And so I can decide who I am and be that. I can self-forgive and stop thoughts. I don't have to accept and allow any thought or desire. I can create. I am a person. A thought can only be a thought. A desire can only be itself. So I know I am not a thought or desire, because I am a person, I Am the one that creates, moves, does and can be many things. While a thought can only be itself, a thought. So I am not a thought, I am a person. To say I am a thought is a lie. A thought is something I have accepted and allowed within me. But I can create, move and do things. This is who I am, I am a person.

Politics describes any situation where a group of people come together to make a decision . The group of people can be any size: a household, a neighborhood, a town, a state, a country, a continent, or a planet. It can be any decision . Politics should be aligned with doing what is best for everyone. This is because doing what is best for everyone is the best way for everyone to live.  This is because if everyone does what is best for everyone, everyone receives the best possible things, actions, gifts, support, and so opportunity to live the best possible life. And if everyone receives what is best for everyone, then that means you also receive what is best as well.  Through politics we can create jobs that serve what is best for everyone and change existing jobs so that they serve what is best for everyone. For example, where integrity is the highest principle in a job where honesty, respect, regard, honor and consideration c...

Let's consider the following scenario. A person lies to another person that there is a sale going on in a store. So if the person were to get emotionally angry, physically yell, and think to themselves how this person is an asshole for lying to him, would he not be responsible at all for himself just because his friend lied to him? Who is yelling, thinking and acting? He is. And what is responsibility? It refers to the one that is doing, deciding, moving, and creating. Is there ever any situation where you are not responsible for what you do, say, or think? Is there any situation where any person is not responsible for what he or she does says or thinks? I claim that every single person is always responsible for what he or she says, does and thinks. For example, when someone lies to you, that person is responsible for what he said, for what he thought and what he did. And you are responsible for what you said, thought, and did with their lie. So in every moment, every person i...

Spanish Translation for http://yoganjourneytolife.blogspot.com/2016/07/everyone-is-god.html Todos nosotros somos Dios. Este dice que hasta el dia cuando cada una persona cuida y apoya a cada una persona, que Dios no existe. Porque como puede ser a otra manera, si cada una es Dios? Tu no puedas excluir la bienestar de una persona. Nadie es mas or menos que ti. Entonces, es mandatario hacer todo posible para que todos estamos bien. Este es obvio. La otra opción es poner tu necesidades y deseos antes que los otros, y poner un selección de personas especiales y sus deseos y necesidades antes que los demás. Entonces no tiempo, esfuerzo, ni dinero es dan para crear un mundo donde todos los necesidades de todos son cumplidos para siempre. Porque la actualidad es que hay personas que están muriendo de hambre aunque hay cantidad de comida suficiente en el mundo. La actualidad es que, si cada una persona quisiera, cada una persona podía tener ropa, comida, una casa y una educación. Imagin...
