What is Bodybyloud!’s definition of Intelligence? Now that I’ve discovered the importance and power in controlling how I think. I take it upon myself to define ideas for myself. Society may use a word in a certain context but depending on how I wish to use the word I’ll self-define a word to fit the GetRight nature of my thought process. This thought process is primarily concerned with the truth-in-elevation of a word. How said word relates to my elevation is all that matters.The word “Intelligence” is a word I’ve self-defined for such a purpose. I’ll quote the accepted and formerly used definitions of the word then I shall explain my usage of the word and why. Dictionary.com definition of Intelligence Merriam Webster Dictionary's definition of Intelligence Bodybyloud!'s Definition of Intelligence The above definitions are sufficient on the surface, yet shed no light on the truth-in-elevation purpose of intelligence. If we say our goal is to have life more abundantly or live as well as we can, then how we use our intelligence is most important. The definitions of the word intelligence in the above two sources make no reference to our intended use of God's gift to us. What does “the skilled use of reason”, "the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations”, "the ability to apply knowledge to manipulate one’s environment or to think abstractly as measured by the objective criteria” or “the basic eternal quality of divine Mind” do for the individual? Its purpose has to be in its expressive use. What is the expressed purposed of “the skilled use of reason”? I personally use my skilled use of reason to solve problems or to handle situations better. This "the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations” improves my life.My favorite two definitions of intelligence are “aptitude in grasping truths" and "manifestation of a high mental capacity". Bodybyloud! is about grasping truth and manifesting from the highest mental consciosness or elevated thought" Its primary function is to make life better and more enjoyable. We use intelligence to make life better. That’s what intelligence is for. If you’re not using your intelligence to make life better then you’re most likely misusing it or not using it at all. Making life more enjoyable is what it’s for. How are you using your intelligence? [See the full post at: What is Bodybyloud!'s definition of Intelligence?]

What is Christ? [A Conscious Wisdom/Science] What is “Christ”? “Christ" is a Conscious Wisdom/Science My definition of Christ is unorthodox and controversial however it makes more sense than anything I ever heard. I may have to do this as a podcast where I verbally lay it out. I first came across the assertion reading the ideas and words of Phineas P Quimby. He states that Paul, which Paul I’m not sure, called what Jesus taught his followers was a God-Conscious wisdom or science. God-consciousness is the First Tenant of the Wisdom/Science This wisdom/science's primary tenant is the awareness that what is true of the Father is true for the “Son”. The first idea a practitioner of “Christ" is to keep in mind is oneness with the universal supreme living principle. "I and the Father are one” was one of Jesus’ constant refrains. This is the foundational understanding of the science. Joseph Murphy in his many works lays out why this is so important. The Major Work of the Practitioner of the Science is to Rid the Mind of Thoughts that do not represent the Divine Truths of the Father. Jesus' parables are primarily about separating the goats from the sheep and weeds from the wheat, and stuff like that. These are allusions to the mental process of selecting thoughts to hold in mind. Negative thoughts bear negative fruits. Negative expression comes from negative thoughts. Jesus taught you to know the tree by its fruits. He said you had to annihilate all ideas not of the Father, the life-giving principle. These ideas are your mortal enemy and you have to show no mercy to them. Negativity is the Sin of Not Loving God. Another way Jesus put it was to Love the Father with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. Since God is Life, this means to love life will all your heart, soul, and mind. Negativity is not allowed because you can only be negative about life, which is God. Negativity about life is sin. This is important because the universal supreme creative force/consciousness is purely creative. We share the mind of the creator and create according to our thoughts. This concept was bit much to relay to his followers in Jesus' era so he put it as best he could for them to understand. Thank goodness we have had the works of Thomas Toward, Phineas P Quimby, Joseph Murphy, and Rev. Ike. I was able to piece together what Jesus was teaching through my study of these people and a few others. Jesus sacrificed his Christ, his conscious wisdom/science to demonstrate, fulfill, and express the law. Life is eternal and death is merely an expression of negative consciousness(sin) and not of the universal supreme creative force which is life. The "our" in dying for our sins refers to mortal consciousness that believes in death, sickness, lack, etc. So Jesus's Christ was sacrificed to expose "our" sins as false or being the negative aspect of consciousness. The only way to do this was to express life after death, in order to do this he had to sacrifice his conscious wisdom that knew death as sin. [See the full post at: What is Christ?

Wisdom and Inspiration from the Great Funky Music of B.T. Express I grew up in the 1970s and my father was a music aficionado. My dad collected music and kept our home filled with the sounds of soulful, funky music he loved. One of my favorite albums he used to play was Do it (Til You're Satisfied) by BT Express. This album is full of wisdom set to funky grooves. When I was a kid I used to imagine what the messages in the music meant. With titles like "Once You Get it" and "Everything Good to You( Ain't Always Good for You) it was fun attaching meaning to the often obtuse lyrics. As I have grown and become a mental scientist, I've come to attach meanings that suit my ends. I use these songs as inspiration to keep my mind right. We all need inspirational reminders to stay positive and diligent with our mental affirmations. If Your Thoughts Don't Turn You On (You Oughta Leave it Alone) [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPKHg1Qbv_Y[/embedyt] Elevation Turns Me On "If it don't turn you on (Your Oughta Leave it Alone" reminds me to leave negative thoughts alone. Elevation turns me on and negative thoughts can not elevate me. Elevation can only come from positive ideas and thoughts. That's why we should check our thoughts and assess if they're turn-ons or turn-offs. Are the thoughts elevating or degrading? If they are degrading then we should do what the song says and "leave it alone". Drop that thought like the bad habit it is. Once You Get That Powerful Idea, Hold on and Don't Let Go. [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjF5qLExtvI[/embedyt] Another inspirational funky joint by B.T. Express titled "Once You Get It" inspires me to keep on keeping on. It is great to have a soundtrack or theme music when we're on this Elevation Journey. We live this life all seeking something to be passionate about. I found my passion when I had the Bodybyloud! idea. This thing makes me feel alive just thinking about it. This song is a reminder that Once you find that thing you're passionate about, hold on to it and don't let it go. Thomas Troward, the master thinker, and my mentor, once said "If you believe an idea is powerful, then that idea is powerful." Those of you that have your powerful idea know what I mean when I say the idea is the journey. Expressing the idea is the journey. The more I express the idea that is Bodybyloud! The GetRight Spot! the more I am energized to keep creating. I love the entire process of defining and establishing this brand. I love every lesson I learn along the way. This is why I love this song by B.T. Express. To me, They're saying once you get that passionate idea hold on to it and don't let go. Hold on to it till you get everything you can get out of it. Just like the funk in this song, the journey of expression your idea is its own reward. Everything Good to You (Ain't Always Good For You) [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRLLBTD1TKE[/embedyt] One of the most profound tracks with a message on the Do it Til You're Satisfied album is "Everything Good to You (Ain't Always Good For You). The band gives us a lesson on life. We have this way of thinking that is often now in our favor. Take jealousy and envy for instance. We call it "hating" these days. The law of consciousness says whatever you direct at others is reflected back on ourselves. This means when you are envious of others and don't want success or happiness for them reflects back on your circumstances. Since the universal supreme creative force makes everyone and everything out of itself, it does not see any separation between us. We are one in and to the universal supreme creative force/mind. We use God's mind in our everyday life. Consequently, when you hate on someone else with God's creative mind you are simultaneously telling the universal supreme creative force "No success or happiness for me". That's why you can't have what you don't want others to have. Keep this in mind when you feel jealous or envious of others. Flip that mentality and bless them and pray for more prosperity and happiness for them. It may feel good to hate on people but like the song says "Everything Good to You (Ain't Always Good for You" [See the full post at: Wisdom and Inspiration from the Great Funky Music of B.T. Express]

People Suffer for Lack of Wisdom, not Knowledge. Knowledge can be used in many ways, wisdom can be used in only one way…Positively. Wisdom ain't what you know but how you positively use what you know. We are free to know anything. Knowing something does not automatically make you wise. How you use what you know determines whether you are wise or not. Knowing how to shoot a firearm means just that. Wisdom is knowing when to use it and when not to use it. It’s fine in self-defense when you cannot immediately get out of a situation. Going into a public place and shooting innocent people is not only unwise but negative use. Negativity cannot be wise. The positive use of knowledge is the positive use of energy. If we observe the world we live in we can see some things are apparent. A lot of what we observe as suffering is from the negative use of energy and knowledge. The harm done to each other is the negative use of knowledge. If we used more wisdom there would be less suffering. Wisdom is the positive use of knowledge and energy. To put it another way. Wisdom is Love. Love is always positive. If it ain’t love then it ain't wise, and if it and wise then it ain't love. It is wise to love, so people suffer for lack of wisdom. There is plenty of love in the world but there can always be more. We should check our actions and thoughts for positivity. If they are not positive then they must not be of love, which means they cannot be wise.
