SILENCE:
Silence is powerful. Silence can cause confusion. Silence can cause decisions to be made against the humdrum of the mundane in life. Silence can cause wars. Silence is a deadly weapon. Learn to use it wisely Next time you wish to speak, question if your purpose would be better served by silence.
FINANCIAL INDEPENCE:
Money isn't the key to financial freedom; proper financial management is. There are millionaires today living paycheck to paycheck and their are lower level middle class families who have several years of savings. Financial stability doesn't care how much money you have, but much rather how you allocate and spend those funds.
YOUR FUTURE:
Investing in yourself. Invest in your financial future through the stock market. Invest in your career with schools, and other forms of training. Invest in your family and friends by spending time with them. Investing isn't a sacrifice. When sacrificing, you get nothing back; there is no return on investment. Just your situations carefully to invest, don't sacrifice.
And this list could go on. There are countless nuggets of wise information out there. Do what you already know you should be doing. If you don't know what to do, seek guidance. We are all falling short in one aspect or another. Strengthen your weaknesses. You owe at least that much to yourself.

This is my take-away from what Charles Manson said in his interview. What are your thoughts?
1) The happiness doesn't come from everything we have or could have, but from our state of mind. We are only as free as our mind allows us to be.
-
2) We will be going through changes, whether we want to or not. We will be forced by the ongoing of life to change. We might as well choose the changes we wish to undergo. We need to make change.
-
3) People are too concerned with doing things they don't want to do instead of doing what they want to do. We spend our life in servitude of impressing others, doing as others command of us, instead of leading ourselves through our own lives.
-
4) When people don't understand us, they will do whatever they can to take action against us in retaliation for being that which they don't favor. People will justify these things to themselves to keep their little bubble of happiness safe and in tact. Don't deviate from society, even if you are right, because it's that society who judges whether or not you are right. De facto/ De juro.
-
5) How many people is our government responsible for forcing onto ventilators (through the development of manmade diseases), jamming pills down their throat (or shots into their arms), and killed? Look at what society has done to create and empower the government we have to enforce such things.
-
6) Society sows seeds and expects everyone else to collectively reap the rotting fruits. Even if they didn't plant them. Terrible decisions are made to create monsters. When the monsters act like monsters, society acts appalled. As if society is nothing but model citizens doing the right thing at all times and making the best decisions.
It is non-sensical to create a monster and not expect a monster to act like a monster. Society is to blame for the seeds they sow. Individuals are to blame for the seeds they sow.
-
7) We aren't responsible for anyone else actions other than our own actions. If only that could be more valued in today's society.
-
8 ) If we focused more on what actually mattered instead of false hopes and living a fake life, we may actually find fulfillment in the life we are attempting to escape.
There are two areas of concern for which we should care; one more so than the other. The physical realm and the metaphysical/astral plane(s).
I do not believe we are physical beings living in a one-time trapped life here to pass into nothingness. I assert that we are strictly spiritual beings enclosed within this weak physical carcass, governed by the weaknesses of the mind which is controlled by our spiritual conscienceness; the soul. Our spirit will live on beyond the residual echoes of our will (ie: ghosts). We are more than that.
THE BODY:The necessity to care for our physical body promotes the health of the organs to permit successful workings through being well rested, physically strong, and mentally alert. Our bodies are the weakest part of our being, but through rigorous exercise and proper diet, we will chase away tiredness, slothfulness, and other distracting aspects of the body which only exist to weaken us. We all know how to care for our bodies. We know what we should and shouldn't eat. We all know at least basics of exercise. We have all the required tools to feed our knowledge base to grow in this area; the internet. Don't allow your body to bottleneck your most important work; spiritual practice. The stronger the body, the stronger the mind.
THE MIND:The care of our body has an effect on our mind. By adhering to the above, our mind will then become the bottleneck to our being. Strengthen the mind by reading the appropriate grimoires, philosophy books, and academic materials. Increase the proficiency of your mind through thought provoking exercises such as playing chess and studying computer simulated 'best moves', playing music and integrating a more technically sound creative melody by adding such ideas as note skipping, arpeggios, 5th and 7th notes, etc. Find ways to create mind-blowing experiences which open new creative doors of possibilities. This type of expansion of the mind exponentially increases strength. Don't allow your mind to bottleneck your most important work; spiritual practice. The stronger the mind, the stronger the spirit.
THE SPIRIT:Our spirit is the only eternal part of the self we have. Everyone has spirit and uses the strength of the spirit. When athletes show to 'have heart', they are actually pushing forward propelled by their conscience efforts with spirit. When someone is fighting for their life in the hospital, the only way to survive is to not allow their spirit to be broken. This is us. This is who we are. Meditate, ritualize, concentrate. When everything else in this world passes, we will be spending an eternity with only our spirits left of what we have here. Dedication of life should be in the pursuit of the betterment of the self, the spirit...
TO THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE:To embody the highest of LHP progressive principals: the greatest form of advice I could give came from a man much wiser than me. I'm a big fan of quotes as others who came before me once said it best:-"Live as though you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever". ~ Mahatma Gandi-If one were to live their life by this quote, our [both theists and atheists of the LHP] actions would be the same although our beliefs would be different. This is one of the reasons I pull to all LHP practitioners in the spectrum. Our methods are similar but with differing perspectives. Keep strong, don't give way to those things which don't matter. Be what you visualize as your apotheosis. Hail and farewell!
