SELF-PRESERVATION
Nuwaubu is the sound right reasoning, facts beyond any doubt, all facts no fiction.
Nuwaubu is right knowledge, right wisdom, and right overstanding.
It takes you above persons, places, and things. It is our spiritual effective science.
Nuwaubu is evidence, experience, and reason.
Nuwaubians learn to distinguish between claims and substantiated facts.
Nuwaubu is based on the eternal laws of nature, reality, past events, logic, and common sense. It is the human being’s natural religion.
Nuwaubians keep the facts as the truth, as goodness, into our way of doing all things.
Nuwaubians follow the experience of past events.
We can see what does not work. Eternal struggle is the price of survival.
The winners of such struggles are those who organize and work together; who have a plan, who practice teamwork.
Nuwaubians want only the facts. We must measure everything from our own point of view, that is, from where we can see it and overstand it.
Nuwaubians don’t believe – We investigate or don’t accept.
Nuwaubians state “Give us facts – not beliefsâ€
Nubians are intelligent to question and seek facts and avoid sensationalisms and fictions.
Nuwaubians do not whimper, complain or indulge in self-pity, but instead face problems realistically, gets to the root of the problems and determines to solve them.
A Nuwaubian is not gullable and does not easily accept any statement, belief, assertion or assumption that to him is lacking in proof and/or is unreasonable in the light of his own experiences.
Nuwaubians are problem solvers, achievers, and producers.
Nuwaubians accept as fact that truth and facts are always and have always been the originator and creator of all success.
“To think is a gift – don’t misuse it today and don’t under use it.†– Saying of Dr. Malachi Z. York.
We Wear the Mask
WE wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes,—
This debt we pay to human guile;
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile,
And mouth with myriad subtleties.
Why should the world be over-wise,
In counting all our tears and sighs?
Nay, let them only see us, while
We wear the mask.
We smile, but, O great Christ, our cries
To thee from tortured souls arise.
We sing, but oh the clay is vile
Beneath our feet, and long the mile;
But let the world dream otherwise,
We wear the mask!
Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906)
Being the change
From this to that...metamorphosis...see the spirit within...seek the truth...see the illusion...and then see beyond it...
"Will this choice propel me toward an inspiring future or will it keep me stuck in the past?"
"Will this choice bring me long-term fulfillment or will it bring me short-term gratification?"
"Am I standing in my power or am I trying to please another?"
"Am I looking for what's right or am I looking for what's wrong?"
If thou wilt be observant and vigilant, thou wilt see at every moment the response to thy action. Be observant if thou wouldst have a pure heart, for something is born to the in consequence of every action.
– Rumi
What is not truth?
“When happiness appears, you can use that for other beings.
When suffering appears you can use suffering to help other beings.
You can use good and bad situations, experiences,
only to help all beings get out of suffering,
because all these “things†are completely empty.
This emptiness is our originally compassionate nature.
If you hold something in your mind you always have suffering, but if you don’t hold any empty thing that appears and disappears in your mind then any feeling, any thinking, any situation, any problem cannot touch you.
Your thinking is truth,
your happiness is truth,
your sadness is truth.
Good and bad situation is truth. What is not truth?
Can you find that thing? Please show it to me.
-Korean Zen Master Seung Sahn
The Law of Resistance.
That which you resist you draw to you, and you will perpetuate its influence upon your life.
Resistance is fear, so it is something you need to Karmically resolve.
The Law of Resistance assures that you let go of the fear by encountering it until you are forced to deal with it by learning conscious detachment
THE MOST HIGH is the One everlasting,
perpetual, eternal, unending.
From endless time hath He been
and shall be henceforth and for ever.
In the pursuit of Knowledge,
Every day something is added.
In the practice of the way,
every day something is dropped.
Less and less do you need to force things,
until finally you arrive at non-action.
When nothing is done,
nothing is left undone.
Lao-Tzu
I'd like to meet:
"People are like stained glass windows:
they sparkle and shine when the sun's out,
but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed;
only if there is light within."
Music:
Love is from the infinite, and will remain until eternity.
The seeker of love escapes the chains of birth and death.
Tomorrow, when resurrection comes,
The heart that is not in love will fail the test.
~Rumi~
