The Noble Eightfold Path is a collection of choices which form the basis of a spiritual pathway. A pathway designed to help the practitioner move towards the realization of the Self, towards Nirvana, and towards a reality where reincarnation is no longer needed for the soul. The Eightfold Path is a Buddhist teaching, and it has a tremendous amount of wisdom for anyone practicing another religion. In fact, this pathway does not infringe on another’s religious beliefs but will only help the person find more peace and joy in their life as a byproduct of just being aware it exists. If You Live It is another such pathway which has many parallels and similarities with the Eightfold Path. Whatever your chosen pathway is, you must walk it daily to know its actual value and merit. Many blessings on your journey ahead!Timestamps:(1:44)) Intro(6:55) Eight-Fold Path(7:49) Correct View(17:34) Correct Intention(30:54) Correct Speech (37:03) Correct Action(42:33) Correct Livelihood(48:15) Correct Effort(54:47)) Correct Mindfulness(1:04:20) Correct ConcentrationIf You Live It is a pathway to freedom.

Acceptance… is a powerful place to come from. Becoming accepting of the world around you as not what you are is a powerful place to come from. Being accepting of others’ attempts to find a way out of ignorance is a powerful position to come from. We all want more happiness in our lives, more joy, more peace, and freedom from the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune. Knowing more about acceptance as a level of consciousness, and how to apply forgiveness into your life as a measure of acceptance are ways to find those positive life stamps more abundant. The key to any spiritual pathway is walking the steps it lays out. Once you have walked them, if they produced fruit in your life it was a success leading to yet other successes, but if you fail to walk down the path, and instead only talk about what you should do, you’ll never know where the pathway takes you.

The Four Noble Truths... are more than passing thoughts, more than something worth only a glance at, and definitely more than something you should bypass knowing - they are at the root of suffering and mankind's opportunity to do something constructive about it. These truths are not just for Buddhists, or Buddhist-curious folks, their value is measured in soul credits, karmic bank notes, and most of all, in liberation from pain. In this video, we go deeper into heir meaning and how If You Live It provides a recontextualization of their significance for your life.TimeStamps:(00:14) Extended Introduction(14:33) First Noble Truth(26:12) Second Noble Truth(35:04) Third Noble Truth(43:48) Fourth Noble TruthIf You Live It is a pathway to freedom.

Willingness… is a super power, it’s a gift from God, a level of consciousness, and a way to find more joy and happiness in your life. When you come from a place of willingness you come from a place of motivation, a place where miracles start arising around you, and a place where you are pulled into opportunities which only serve your life’s purposes and goals. In this chapter of If You Live It, the reader dives into the world of finding the strength needed to start seeing through the illusion of fear, the limiting power of belief systems, and comes face to face with actualizing potential. This is a powerful level to arrive at and a life-changing step to have completed to this point.Timestamps:(1:54) SURRENDER PROCESS(2:55) Willingness & Motivation(4:01) Freedom from the ego(4:47) Finding Joy(6:08) Wanting truth(7:48) Practical Spirituality(8:59) Experiencing Willingness(9:50) Perception(11:07) Surrender & Forgiveness(11:46) Life-changing(12:59) Becoming Motivation(13:38) Letting Go(14:45) Saying Yes to God(19:06) Willingness is saying YES(20:18) Faith in Action(21:35) Miracles(22:56) Fear(24:26) Finding FreedomIf you want to know more about willingness or this step in particular, feel free to dive into the video on our page entitled “Experiencing Willingness (Chapter / Step 7), as well as on our website at https://www.ifyouliveit.com/ifyouliveitblog/iyli-chapter-seven-experiencing-willingness for the printed version.

The Gita and Krishna… are two of the most important and living truths worth moving towards ever created for the world. The Bhagavad Gita is perhaps the greatest piece of literature which points towards the realities of God ever penned to paper, with Krishna being its central figure and pillar of wisdom. How ever you find the Gita, count that journey as a blessing. How ever you learn of Krishna, count that meeting a blessing. Coming face to face with the truth of both, your life will now be complete.

Diving Deeper into Courage… In the grand scheme of life, one can either be a slave to the lower aspects of being human or transcend them through a pathway pointing towards truth. These pathways can come in all shapes and sizes, from religion to innate, all the way to divinely inspired. This pathway of devotion, service, surrender and forgiveness all work in unison to help deliver truth in abundance to the practitioner. The experience of courage is a byproduct if integrously working steps 1-3, with step four being something that courage is most definitely needed to finish. Real and true courage is something we must choose to be, but once being can be a springboard forward into altogether divine states of bliss, joy, ecstasy, and even enlightenment. If you’re looking for more happiness in your life than fear, more love than sadness, more hope than despair, work your way to step 4 in this program and find yourself squarely at step 5. If you do this, you will have experienced miracles coming forth from your efforts.

Watch my feet… we all live a life where we do our best to put one foot in front of the other. Some days we walk closer to truth than others, but always we carry on towards an end unknown but also determined. Along this journey of life, we have the gift of choice, which repeats itself in every moment of every day, forever and ever amen. Choice is the greatest gift the human has at its disposal. It also happens to be choice, which is the biggest illusion in life, for every choice, no matter how big or small, points back to the creator of choice. We need not bother ourselves with illusion of this level until you come face to face with it, so for this moment at hand we’ll continue the stage play and agree to choice as being something we do regularly. It’s within any choice that we have the opportunity to choose God or not, or another way to say it, choose the next most loving thing for ourselves, Our loved ones, and the world around us.

Watch my Feet gets to the heart of choice, and choosing God, and choosing truth, and choosing love, and we do this continually by walking the choices quietly, doing our best not to leave footprints, and then once arriving, not boasting about being there. When you stop talking about religion and instead choose to walk in the footsteps of the religious figurehead, you’re closer to seeing illusion than ever before.

Diving deeper into anger and pride. These two lower levels of the mind are designed to keep you stuck for centuries, for lifetimes, for cycles of birth and rebirth ad infinitum. The stickiness of these forces and attracter patterns lies in the fact that you can find morsels of truth scattered about their motivations. When you come from anger or pride you choose 10% truth and 90% falsehood, but it’s that little bit of truth that is so juicy for the ego. The feeling of being right for those at these levels is what keeps the guise of each going. Have you ever asked yourself, would I rather be right or happy? If you choose right, you’re far from God. If you say “I’m not sure,” you’re on your way to God, and if you choose happy instead of right, you’re moving towards higher and higher truths. To transcend these lower levels we need faith, deep and honest surrender, and a certain logic which says “I’m open to truth not found in being angry and prideful.”

If You Live It Presents: Surrender to Win.

If you desire to be in the world but not of it, this truth is for you, this maxim is for you, this mantra is for you. If you desire to remain a slave to the ego and the world around you, watching this video won’t be for you. In the spiritual sense, coming from a context where we move towards a connection with the divine, the only way to win that race is through surrendering over the world and all its trappings of promised happiness. The world will never bring you happiness, lasting joy, or deep inner peace. The world will only deliver more of the world to you as a promise for future joy, happiness and peace. The world isn’t bad nor good, it’s just the world. But what you are is not the world, but something operating within it. We stay stuck to wanting, craving, desiring, and any other manner of enslavement by refusing to surrender our will over to a power greater than ourselves. You will never find true and lasting happiness from anything the world has to offer.

We all go through times dominated by the forces of FEAR & DESIRE, but that doesn't mean we have to live there or be trapped in their clutches any longer.
