RON LEW NEW AD 1Depression is a debilitating illness that afflicts about 5 % of the population or 350 million people worldwide.  Although some degree of depression every now and then is normal, severe depression can be quite crippling and if untreated can lead an individual to committing suicide.

The bad news is that so many people are not getting the help and support system they need and end up committing suicide. According to suicide.org, a person commits suicide every 40 seconds which is about  1 million per year. That figure is quite staggering and appalling.

Organic food= harmony in the body.

Foods that contain GMO, pesticides, hormones and antibiotics = disharmony in the body aka creation of diseases.

Fast food = fast mortality rate.

Convenience food= inconvenient to your body.

Too much TV and GMO = creation of zombies.

Focusing on yourself and the power you have = gives birth to a dysfunctional ego.

Focusing on others, compassion, love and humility = give birth to the Divine Spark of Light within.

Meditation, prayer, devotion,love, compassion, oneness with the Divine Presence within and service to others = path to freedom, oneness with our God and our awakening.

To Kill A Mockingbird Ego

BEYOND SOCIAL MEDIA 2Ego is not a welcomed guest in the house of  the spiritual masters. It prevents us from finding our true self and keeps us trapped in the world of illusion. Some may ask if it is possible not to have an ego because if we didn’t have one, we would be able to manifest more miraculous things  in our lives. Unfortunately, when we were given our life, our ego was part of the package deal.

Having an ego is not necessary a bad thing. Everything we have in our body and consciousness was put there for a reason. We need an ego to have a sense of self and others. The problem is when it becomes dysfunctional or out of control. When it does, we may think we are God separate from God. We think in terms of us against them. We may succumb to our desires, lust and wants.

Paving the Way for World Peace

BEYOND SOCIAL MEDIA 3Last Sunday, I watched a spiritual double feature at home-Awake – The Life of Yogananda and Dalai Lama Awakening. These two incredible films are about two amazing spiritual iconic figures that have influenced my life greatly.  Yogananda has influenced my pursuit of God in the most intimate ways. Meanwhile, his Holiness has moved me to love, have compassion and to serve others. He has also taught me to always embrace the inner child and always be comfortable to allow him to come forth and play.

Both of  these wonderful and amazing saints have taught us much about spirituality and the art of living. However, after watching the film- Dalai Lama Awakening, I have come to realize the complexities to solving the world’s problems. In this documentary film, many of the great minds  and innovative thinkers were invited to meet with the Dalai Lama to share what they thought were solutions to the world problems. As these brilliant minds began to gather and put their minds together, conflict ensued. Soon this gathering became a room filled with testosterone and ego.

This post is a  special gift to our Divine animal family and friends and the humans who care for them.

Millions of us have a dog, cat, or other animal(s) as a companion or a friend. They bring us so much joy and happiness through their unconditional love. Their love for us is so powerful that they often risk their lives to save and protect ours. Such love, sacrifice and loyalty seems more Divine and angelic in quality than mere friends and companions.

They seem more like angels than animals here on earth. They love, give, and serve like angelic beings. However, when these Divine canine and feline friends or family members are injured, most of the times we are at lost and don’t know what to do other than bring them to a animal hospital. Surely there must be more that we can do for our Divine Angelic friends before or after they receive medical care.  Indeed there is, through holistic healing and interspecies communication skills.

Dare to Imagine a Brand New World: a message of hope and empowerment

Never ceasee to cream

Once upon time, there was a boy who was bullied, beat up and  lied to. He was told that he would never amount to anything and  he even suffered all sorts of mental, emotional verbal abuse by the dysfunctional and toxic adults and teachers in his life. It didn’t take long before  this young boy began to live a  very dark, gloomy and dismal life.

Each day he lived, was another day in hell. He lived in a sea of negativity, toxicity and chaos. Each day he felt like he was drowning in despair and hopelessness. However, one day he decided to Dare to Imagine how he wanted his life to be despite all the odds that was against him.

When he did that, something magical happened- hope was born. It began to dissolve some of the dark clouds  and negativity around and allowed him to feel the greatness within.  At that time, he didn’t understand it but he knew that deep down inside that there was a special part of him that longed to come forth.  When he hung on to his dream, hope and vision, it became a life raft that saved him from drowning.

infinite potentialDare to Imagine continues to sell well since its publication in 2013, especially in San Francisco at the Enlightenment Store.

Beyond Imagination is riding the wave that Dare to Imagine has created. By the end of the month, the books should be in 14 -16 stores and  locations throughout the Bay Area including  stores in Monterey, Capitola, Mountain View, Walnut Creek, San Francisco, Dublin, Pleasanton, Mount Shasta, Lake Tahoe and Half Moon Bay. It is also found in a store at Portland, Oregon. With the help of Mount Shasta Author’s Guild, the books should make it into even more stores.  We may be doing a joint venture in the end of April at the San Mateo New Living Expo. It would give me a chance to meet and greet with some of my readers.

Turbocharge your prayer

BEYOND SOCIAL MEDIA 19Many studies have been done that  prove that prayer really does work and that positive changes can happen because of it. The movie, Inori: Conversation with something Great, talks a lot about the various scientific studies of prayer. I highly recommend this movie to any spiritual or religious group. It is in Japanese but has English subtitle but the special guest are well worth watching  including Dr. Deepak Chopra, Bruce Lipton, Lynne McTaggart,  etc.  The film was directed and produced by award winning Japanese movie director, Tetsu Shiratori.

Prayer is a common tool used in most if not all religions. It is a tool that we use to connect to God and with each other. Prayer to me is is our way with connecting with each other and God through the Divine Cosmic web of God’s Love, Energy and Consciousness. I see what many people praying but only doing  it with  lip service. Many of these people do it from an intellectual level with no emotional connection whatsoever. There is nothing wrong with that but I truly believe we can turbo charge and amplify the power and effect of prayer if we just add a few additional steps.

Longevity and Immortality (An Updated Version)

Since the beginning of civilization, there has been a relentless quest  for the fountain of youth or an insatiable  search for finding methods to prolong our lives. During biblical times, it has been reported that some have lived to  be anywhere from several hundred  to 969 years old to 1000 years old.

Susan Shumsky, author of Ascension, wrote about a Chinese man- Master Li Ching Yuen-who lived to be at least 250 years of age in her book. Master Yuen learned about the ancient art of longevity one day after he met a 500 year old Taoist. When asked what was his secret, the master replied that he did an ancient exercise called Ba-Kua ( eight trigrams). I am familiar with this method since my former Gung Fu master practiced this everyday in his studio. After so many years, he still looks the same and still full of vitality as I see him walk the streets of Chinatown.  Perhaps there is some truth to it.
