The Path of Life: THE BEGINNING


This short and sweet book is called The Path of Life: The Beginning. The Beginning is a free, (meaning both: gratis for zero price, and libre with no restriction) and introductory way of getting you to where you need to be, right now. It exists to teach of a perspective that is capable of anything. This outlook and state of mind can set you free from pain, guilt, sadness, depression, and any persistent feeling that keeps us from experiencing life to the fullest. This vantage point can be applied to bring about peace, harmony, joy, happiness, and anything you can imagine. The state of mind we are pointing to can bring about a state of being that can cultivate the greatest of human experiences. How you reach it and when you reach it will be up to you. You hold the power and are not dependent upon us for the knowledge and wisdom that pertains most deeply to You. This point of view is simplistic in nature and ordered simply, in order to bring about the state of mind and being that is necessary to fully master life. Although all of our problems can seem complex and very detailed or even isolated from the whole of life, we will find that in reality this is not so. As humans, we are limited in perspective and it is in this lack of self-awareness that we are bound to the human condition of suffering. In a practical way, we will realize the path that we are on, and have always been on. In seeing, experiencing, and knowing this, we will find our way. The ideas presented here are not absolute truths, yet they are meant to point towards deeper truths. Truths simply do not have words. Reality is not made up of words. Human thinking, rationalization, and classifications are where our reality gets caught up in words. Words, concepts, and even mental images (in the form of memories) can only describe reality. The sooner and easier we start to see what is, as it actually is without labeling it, the easier and more smoothly life tends to flow. This book is for people of all races, creeds, intelligence levels, religions, etc. It was written with love and meant to transmit this love into your very essence. Open

your heart to the words and concepts, and see the transformation take place before your eyes. Experience it first hand and experience life to the fullest. It is a crash course to help you NOW. Of course, you will not see any benefit until you open yourself up to the concepts, and see the truth for yourself (as only you can experience it). Should you not catch on right away, do not fret. There will be more expanded versions to help you see more clearly what this is really all about, and many other resources available in your life that will help you along once you have eyes to see and ears to hear. The beauty of these concepts is that they have been around for thousands of years, thought in the minds of many, used and passed down by the most peaceful of people, and now formulated for the modern world we currently live in. We all want to be normal and be unique. But, we do not have to do anything to be unique, we already are. Our DNA is roughly 99.9% like everyone else, but there is a small percentage that no one else shares. You and Your Path
All paths lead to the top of the mountain...

We begin by talking about You. Almost all books involving a self-help approach will ignore this very looming variable. No matter who is reading those books it is easy for the reader to realize the author will use an authoritative approach to tell you how your world is and how you are. We can go no further without mentioning your Uniqueness. You are a one and only. Every single experience you have ever had was a unique experience that changed the world. No matter how small or insignificant that moment may have seemed it changed the world. Even identical twins cannot help being unique individuals in this cosmos. You are the only You. No matter what ways you use to describe your reality or situation, as long as you describe it in totality you will see this. The human condition is one where we want to be original, and we are, (even if you have an identical twin). This DNA expresses itself in You and the situation you are born into, along with the experiences you receive on a moment to moment basis, in an extremely unique way. Every experience you are having hasnt been experienced before. It is part of our nature, (for many reasons we will

speculate about later) to see similarities in ourselves and others. We are afraid to be unique. However, it is a fact of life that you are the only person that could possibly know You fully. We are not building up your ego here. In fact, we will work on the opposite of that soon. By the end of this book, you will realize your greatness internally. You will realize your Path in life. This is but the first step to awareness and realization. Your Path is the one that you have been on, the life you have been living. This very moment as you read, it unfolds. We do not need to change the past. We simply need to acknowledge THIS MOMENT as it is. The first step is to truly realize your path. By definition, the Path needs no definition for it is your very reality. It does not need described. It just is. It is a fact of life. IT IS LIFE. It is yours and it is the greatest gift of all. No matter what you have done in your past, it is no longer something to run from or hide from. Karma will manifest in the present as it always has, but it is not something to resist. It is OKAY to be you, and to carry the burden of the past. Everyone has to. As unique as we are, the paradox is that we are all living in the same human condition. We all have different challenges that we face, but we share that common condition of ignorance that brings about suffering. Ignorance, you say? We are conditioned to put labels on ourselves and yes the meaning or connotation behind ignorant may seem negative. Fear not, the fact is: we are all ignorant since we are not all-knowing. You will learn to no longer cultivate suffering on your Path. You will learn to no longer be fearful of what we do not understand. We are intelligent beings and no longer need our fearful mindset to keep us safe. Human Condition and You
You are human, and if nothing else, we all share this fact...

You are very familiar with the human condition, although you may not be aware of it. Although yours is specific to you, we all share a universal human-ness. We are born to a unique mother and father. We are then tossed into a very much unknown situation to us as we begin to experience the world as no one else has

before. We may have siblings, parents, grandparents, or pets as we begin. Modern psychology has always seen the first few years of a persons life as that which shapes the rest of your life, to some capacity. We store memories from our very first years in order to learn about the world around us. How would these NOT affect our lives? If we have abusive parents, we may learn that the world is a cruel place. If we have loving parents, we may see the world as being supportive, even overly so at some times. Your situation and the complex past you have is unique to you in every detail, but likewise could be seen as something we all go through without the conscious mind we have today. In a way, you might see this as You being placed into a situation that you had virtually NO conscious control over. After all, You didnt pick your face, your body, your genes, your mind, etc. We are a learning species. We learn through snapshot experiences and our perceptions of reality in those moments of time. We use all of our senses to form memories, as well. Our muscles form memories, (aptly dubbed muscle memory) so that we can ride a bike easier and easier as we undertake more practice at doing so. We store these memories, and derive a sense of self from a combination of past experiences. We also learn throughout our lives to be fearful of many, many things. This conditioning of fear is part of our defense mechanisms. However, we often fear change and anything we do not understand. A new understanding can set us free and let us see new possibilities. We are conditioned to think in concepts and words. We are conditioned through the use of language. Words do not describe reality in absolution. They can help us communicate concepts and they do that, to a point. But words are labels that are man-made. We need these labels for communication, but word/labels can only point to the truth. Words can only describe reality. Certain loaded labels with polar opposites can condition us to think in black and white. That is, we see reality as either one way or the other. In reality, there is typically a spectrum rather than disconnected extremes. There is a lot of gray area especially when it comes to our inner world. We will expand upon language in later Levels. Once again, only you can see your reality. Only you can recall the memories and experiences you had in your past that are being recalled for your present day. It is the unique You, that can see beyond all this and see yourself in a new way. You

can see your experiences as opportunities to learn, and ways to grow. We want to grow; we want to learn. If you are okay with being who you were, time and new experiences will always find a way to knock you off your feet. This often results in suffering that lingers on, and needless suffering it is. We will also discuss the issue of certainty. We live in a seemingly chaotic world with an ever-changing mind and this makes it very hard to have continuous certainty. We will discuss the importance of inner certainty, but one rooted in personal truth that truly connects with the rest of the world. The Unknown and our common fears we will get to as well. Intuition will become a strong focal point later on, as we discover what it is and how we can find it. Freedom, joy, grace, love, etc., will arise when we get to an inner feeling of peace. You cannot be peaceful and fearful at the same time. Through your own discovery you will find this, in your own terms. The words you use to describe this peace will be important as we will find out, but will be found by you and only You. We can point a way, but can do nothing to bring it about in you. Attention and focus will be discussed in all its ways. As you can probably see, most of the subjects in these books will be something you use on a daily basis. They are typically part of the human experience. In admittance and realization that our view is not working to bring us absolute peace, we may see the need for discussing or digging deeper in the facets of our lives. No author can force you inward or to study ones self. When we apply attention/focus to the right areas of your choosing, we will see these problems become challenges that can be faced without fear and with a clear mind instead. The potential inside of you can be unlocked in the subtlety. There will be no new information provided here. Its always been there inside of you. The potential to see things in a way that is truly beneficial to You has always been there. We will likely dive into all subject matter that is found in the human experience. The reason for this is to get the mind focused on that particular part in their life. While this may seem like food for thought, we will seek more than just food for the insatiable ego, but we will aim to provide for discussion that is mindful towards allowing intuitive processes to allow for our own personal truth to come into view.

As said previously, you are on a Path already. You do not have to be religious or spiritual to understand this. By reading this, you have taken a conscious step on your unique Path that you are on. There will be many levels to come and we hope that you join us in this journey. Self-improvement is something you have already utilized in many ways already. If you want more growth and would like to continue reading about the Path, see Level 2 which is about the Ego and who we think that we are.

Mission Statement: We maintain that we are not all-knowing (no human is or could be in this life). We are no better than You by any means. We maintain that the only person who can truly know whats best for You, is You. However, through the accumulation of knowledge of all sorts we can see the big picture and we can better avoid getting lost along the way. We are no exception. We do not desire large amounts of money, fame, or anything of that material sort. Part of being on the Path is realizing what is important to You, and the truth of how it truly affects you. We are providing an avenue that is customizable: for You, by You. We have used the term guide as a way of describing ourselves, but we are merely people just like you. We are walking our own Path in the same world. Any wise person knows that they are also learning as they are teaching. I hope you join us in our journey and continue with us in our seeking of Inner Truth, Inner Peace, and Inner Love. Please Like us on Facebook for news, updates and discussion!
