A definition of the Agoyangyang Logo was given. This will now be our official explanation of the logo, until a new one is given. In our discussion of Website, the group deems it desirable to have a separate website for the Physical Exercises and our Martial arts. A dissertation on Prout and Neohumanism may have to be included in the Wisdom section of the Agoyangyang Website.
THE FIVE KEYS TO WEALTH AND HAPPINESS
Having the ability is not always the same as doing it. If you are going to be all you can be, you are going to have to understand these keys. If you can handle them consistently, your life will be an indomitable success.
1st Key : You must learn how to handle frustration.
Affirmations and positive thinking are a start, but they are not the full answer. Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion. Affirmation with discipline creates miracles.
Frustrations can kill dreams and change a positive attitude into a negative one, an empowering state into a crippling state. The worst thing a negative attitude does is wipe out self-discipline and when that discipline is gone, the results you desire are gone. So, to ensure long-term success, you must learn how to discipline your frustration. The key to success is a massive frustration. Remember that success is buried on the other side of frustration.
You get through the road-block by plowing though frustration, taking each setback as feedback you can learn from, and pushing ahead.
2nd key: is You must learn to handle rejection.
What would you do if you knew you could not fail? To succeed, you must learn how to cope with rejection, learn how to strip that rejection of its power. How many “no's” can you take?. The word itself has no power. It can’t cut your skin or sap your strength. Its power comes from the limits it makes you create.
There are no real successes without rejection. The more rejection you get, the better you are, the more you have learned, the close you are to your outcomes. Turn “no's” into hugs. If you can handle rejection, you will learn to get everything you want.
3rd key: You must learn to handle financial pressure.
The only way not to have any financial pressure is not to have any finances. They are many kinds of financial pressure and they have destroyed many people. Handling financial pressure means knowing how to get and knowing how to give, knowing how to earn and knowing how to save. Not having enough money is another kind of financial pressure.
You should be able to deal with money as with anything else in your mind, with the same purpose and elegance. Learn to earn, to save, and to give. If you can do that, you are handling the financial pressure, the money will never again be a stimulus to putting you in a negative state that causes you to be unhappy or treat others around you in a less than resourceful way.
4th key: You must learn how to handle complacency.
“That which is achieved the most, still has the whole of its future yet to be achieved”. (LaoTsu, Tao Teh King).
Comfort can be one of the most disastrous emotions a body could have. When a person gets too comfortable, he stops growing, stops working, stops creating added value. If you feel really comfortable, chances are you have stopped growing. When you start getting comfortable, just remember McDonald’s dictum: “When you are green you grow’ when you ripen, you rot.”. As long as you remain green, you grow. You can take any experience and make it an opportunity for growth, or you can take it and make it an invitation to decay.
One of the biggest mistake you can make is when you learn to judge yourself not by your goals, but by what your peers seem to be doing.
5th key: You need to judge yourself by your goals and nothing else.
Care about what you are capable of. Care about what you create and what you want to do. Work from a set of dynamic, evolving, enabling goals, that will help you do what you want, not what someone else has done.
Do not major in minor things. Make your life special. Always give more than you expect to receive. The secret to living is giving. The problem in life is people want things first. The key to any relationship is that you have to give first and then keep giving. Don’t stop and wait to receive. When you start keeping score, the game is over.
If you want to achieve all your outcomes, you have to think of success as a process, a way of life, a habit of mind, a strategy for life. You must be able to use your power in a responsible and loving way if you are to experience true wealth and happiness.
DISCUSSIONS:
Dakilahsuan: These are the five keys, but where is the door? How to do you apply it so it can become relevant to our day to daily life? The door is probably your attitude about success and failure. If your attitude is that there is no such thing as success and failure, it is just a pure process, so where is the relevance here? Like our Website, does success matter to us?
This REJECTION, if you are able to destroy your ego or loss your identification, the key is becoming useless. If you have no more pride or ego, what does it matter to me? Once you have developed the attitude of acceptance, you will never feel rejected. So, where is the relevance?
If you have the attitude of There Is Enough for Everyone, WHAT will stress you? So the key is again irrelevant.
The other key is complacency. If you believe that life is a continuing process of change, whether or not you are able to attain success, or whatever you believe life is going to change, product of evolution, then there is no such thing as an established state or station.
If you have developed the attitude of gratitude, whether it is success or failure, whatever is the result, it does not matter to you. So, we come back, after having the key, to the significance of the door. The door is really in our inner selves. We are the door. We are the promise. It’s beyond the scope of what we are inside. The full potential of your being successful lies within. The promise actually is you.
Do we still need the key? I used to think so, but what do I need the key for if I have other concerns now? My attitude has changed. If you destroy your ego, do you bother about being rejected? Failure, if you do not believe about success and failure, would this matter to you? Financial pressure, if you believe there is enough for everyone, will pressure cause a change in your life? If you believe life is constant change, how can you be complacent? So, if you are just able to appreciate this work, this knowledge, we must relate this to our present level of consciousness. To a person who has no consciousness about abundance, about attitude of gratitude, about total acceptance, moment to moment experience, this is necessary. That is why, sometimes this other teachings should be integrated. When you talk of prosperity, there are the other three aspects to rely upon. That is why man does not stop in one aspect. He has to go on to the other aspect, from prosperity, to harmony, to wisdom and to immortality. The promise is you. The door is in you.
What if you have all the power to do all that you want to do, do you still need the key? No! You just simply open it. You do not need any key at all. You are the door. Change your consciousness. It is very difficult to describe. How do you forget this kind of attitude? It is a combination of several knowledge that we have come through the past three years. You undertake all these things. The answer is always “may be”.
Is it sufficient to be rich, probably harmonious, to be immortal and wise?
All these are just designed to change our consciousness. Whatever is the outcome, these aspects are just avenues to express our beingness. Otherwise, what we are doing becomes our unfulfilled desires, our samskaras. So, let go and let live. After all, your soul is just after beingness.
On our Website, whether we are successful or not, it is just the process of doing it that is important. We must not be particular about result. We must not be obsessed about it. Otherwise, you will get trapped there. Every effort is already a success.

Good news. Dakilahsuan has found an office for his Accountancy practice. He and his partner will begin in September this year.
Communion with God.
How can you be honest amidst illusion? Awareness, honesty and responsibility – these are the three core values. If everything is illusion, how can any one be honest? How can any one be responsible? How can any one be responsible for something he cannot control? It is just an illusion. In this world, nothing is real. What is real beyond the sphere of illusion, when there is nothing to imagine? With the tools that we have, it is not real. So, what is real? Anything you can see, you can touch, feel, hear, that is real. They may be illusions that these are what we perceive. So beyond that, what is reality?
Dakilahsuan: In the absence of That Which Is Not, That Which Is, is not real. Since nothing in this world is real, then God is not real? Beyond this realm of the relative, what is real? Individual or the ultimate reality? Freedom? How is it possible to know anything as real if you cannot measure it? Can you measure love? Can you measure freedom? Can you quantify it if you cannot even describe it? So what is the basis of making it real?
Bisataoling: Just like the galaxies. You cannot see, but you know they are there. Your intuition can measure the reality. There is the outside reality and there is the inner reality, and the inner reality can only be perceived by your intuitive faculty, and the physical reality, by your physical senses.
Dakilahsuan: How do you do know that God is real?
Bisataoling: Your inner self. You know inside you. Anything that we cannot measure is nothing. But your imagination is the source of your creativity. I believe I can be, do and have whatever I can imagine if I choose so.
Dakilahsuan: But do you consider beingness as real?
Bisataoling: Reality is what is so.
Dakilahsuan: It depends on how you perceive change. “Nothing in this world is real”
Bisataoling: May be what it means is that there is no permanence in any given moment. Our experience is a moment-to-moment experience. Your experience in any given span of time is real to you. But if you have the awareness that everything is illusion, you will live the illusion. You are attached.
Dakilahsuan:But what if that attachment is what your soul wants to experience?
Bisataoling: But there are people who want to realize the illusion.
Dakilahsuan: Even if the lower ego is trapped, there is somebody responsible for liberating us.
Bisataoling: But if the soul is not ready, it cannot be done. But if the soul knows and understands and embraces this, then it is ok. Illusions are basically not permanent, but they exist. The car exists, but five years from now, it will no longer be beautiful. It is an illusion because it is not permanent.
Assuming man is unaware of a given illusion, to enjoy the illusion that unit entity is not operating on his own. The soul is guiding him. But he will be reminded again. This way, change of consciousness must bridge the gap.

Bisataoling reported that the Agyongyang Website has been uploaded to Internet, after about a month of hard work. The Guides, through DakilaHsuan conveyed their message of appreciation to the group for being able to upload the Agyongyang Website. We all know that is just the beginning. A lot of possibilities may come across upon our way from now on.

8/25/03 - HARMONY
COMUNION WITH GOD. Understanding the Purpose of Illusions
To end the confusion, that is to see the illusion as illusion, is to use the illusion. When you see that you can manipulate it, then that illusion is not real. Illusion is not the reality. Only when an illusion is recognized as an illusion and lived as an illusion can it lead to an experience of Ultimate Reality. Then it serves the purpose of its creator.
The way to use the illusion is to know that it is an illusion, and the way to know that is an illusion is to use it. It begins with your denial of the illusion as having anything to do with reality. Then you simply do a “denial reversal”, by turning your denial around. Tell yourself “Nothing that you see is real”.
You may feel depressed when you are told that what you are experiencing on your planet is all make-believe. Yet do not be, for your world is your greatest gift, a wonder for you to behold, al treasure for you to enjoy.
Life in the physical realm is glorious indeed, and its purpose is to bring you happiness through the awareness and the declaration, the expression and the fulfillment, of Who You Really Are. Make, therefore of your life a time as an extraordinary statement and a breathtaking experience of the most glorious idea that you have ever had about your self.
Each moment of your life is a holy moment, a moment of creation. Each moment is a new beginning. In each, you are born again. This is your journey to mastery. It is a journey that will lead you out of the nightmare of your construction and into that wondrous dream which your life was intended to be.
The deepest reality you are aware of is the one from which you draw your power. If you are only conscious of the material world, your power is limited to the material forces. But at a more profound level, there is a creative power shaping mind and body - the power of evolution, of dharma.
The three forces pervading all creation, maintenance and destruction, are also present in the life span of the cells, stars, trees, planets and galaxies. The three forces exist simultaneously.
As long as creation dominates, you will keep growing and evolving. You grow with full consciousness if you are the source of your own power, and whatever your field, certain traits are generally shared. The following seven points set the practical standard to measure how creatively your lives are proceeding:
Creative Action Plan
If you think of the same thoughts or do the same things day after day, there is little room for genuine creativity, unless you choose to make room for it. Once you begin to make space for the new and the unknown , you open the way for deeper powers to emerge from the gaps of your every day existence and open some space for growth. The more consciously you follow it, the more unlimited the growth will be.
Experience silence preferably through meditation.
This is a time to be simply be. The mind replenishes itself in silence… the quantum source for all activity. Silence is the great teacher. Pay attention to it.
Spending time in Nature.
The mind-body system throws off its excess energies spontaneously when you remove yourself from the artificial confines of the material world and return to Nature.
Experience trusting emotions
Begin a journal of your feelings. Note one example of each as it arises in your day. Note abstract feelings associated with activity and personal growth and the primary negative emotions. Discover how often you feel on things that get overlooked. Permit the spontaneous release of emotions that you would normally repress. Truly know your emotions. Master them. but make them enjoyable. The life of feelings is meant to be rich and satisfying. But if your emotions are stranger to you, you cannot enjoy them.
Being aware of where an emotion comes from permits the dissipation of negative feelings. Emotions don’t follow routine. If you have a tendency to be removed from your feelings, the rush of modern life makes it even easier to repress and escape feelings as they rise. Yet nothing is more important than experiencing your feelings. They are the most primary expression of your awareness as it relates to the world. You are the totality of all the relationships you have, and the most accurate mirror of them is your emotions.
Remaining centered amid chaos.
Develop skills for finding your center. Isolate two times in your workday when things are most hectic and stressful for you. Now plan to take 5 minutes to center yourself just before these two periods Center by finding a place where you can be alone, sitting comfortably and closing your eyes, paying attention to your breathing, focusing on the passage of air into and out of your nostrils. Begin to feel your body, and gently bring your attention to the center of your chest and lightly rest it there. End the exercise by sitting quietly, doing nothing.
A very simply technique, but the discharge of negative energies it produces is dramatic. You can then feel a sense of heavy burden lifting off your shoulders and a sense a lightness and calmly infusing your whole being. You will begin to experience that being centered is actually the most natural and comfortable way to be in any situation, no matter how hectic. Centering is a way to return to your self and become unmoored from the confusion around you.
Being childlike.
Think of something that evokes childhood for you and begin to incorporate these activities more and more into your present life. Your goal is to find that place inside you where you are still a care free child..
The feeling you are trying to recapture here is not a return to childhood but something much more profound. As A. H. Almaas writes: “when we look at a child, we see that the sense of fullness, of intrinsic aliveness of joy in being, is not the result of something else. There is value in just being oneself. The desire to be young again is a symbol of the deeper desire to remain new. By putting yourself back into the most childlike mindset you can imagine, you open the way for learning “we are the pleasure, we are the joy, we are the most profound significance and the highest value” as Almaas again writes.
Being Self-Referral.
Your sense of identity is what prevents you from seeing yourself as part of everything “out there”. If you have to attain the highest state of consciousness, which is unity with all that is, you must get rid of the baggage and re-experience yourself as a free, uncluttered person, by stripping away the crusted varnish of your self-image. Do activity that is incongruous to your self-image, do some volunteer work, resolve to correct your behavior gradually knowing it is not the real you, and expand your efforts at meditation If you truly dedicate yourself to all these, you will even walk faster down the road to discovering the Self.
Practice non-attachment.
Non-attachment means that you are free from outside influences that overshadow your real self. If you are immersed in and overwhelmed by the details of your work, you will be unable to come from your inner creative core.
To get the most passion from life, stand back and be yourself. Passion and commitment, love and dedication, self-worth and fulfillment are all born in Being. They are qualities of the essential self that blossom when you are free from narrow attachments.
8/27/03 - WISDOM
We completed today Book III of the Conversation with ‘God trilogy.
We are now asked to go and change our world and be our Highest Self. We understand now all that we need to understand and know all that we need to know. We know all that we need to be.
“Seek to carry this remembrance with you always. Seek to share it with all those whose lives you touch. For yours is a destiny grander than you might ever have imagined.” “You have come to the room to heal the room. You have come to the space to heal the space. There is no other reason for you to be here.” I am with you always, all ways.” GOD
ON BEINGNESS:
Contextually, it is just like the chicken and the egg. Which comes first? The egg comes first according to God. We want to think the chicken came first.
Dakilahsuan: But what is the tool to understand this in the world of relativity? Can the Absolute Mind understand the realm of the relative? What kind of consciousness is not trapped by the Illusion of time, if he is time-bound?
Bisataoling: But if we are bound by time and space, whatever we do is based on these stages. We cannot just by-pass them. Beingness,--- being happy, being love,--- these are your essence. That is Who You Are. Who you
Are Not is already automatic.
Dakilahsuan: Why do you want to experience Who You Are Not?
Bisataoling: Because it is my avenue to know Who I am? I want to experience the experience of love, being happy, being wise. If you want to be ignorant you can be ignorant.
Dakilahsuan: How can you remember something you do not experience? Doesn’t the HEB observe their truth? HEB, if you remember are not time bound. There is a gap.
Bisataoling: How do you come from happiness? Can you feel love when you are sad?
Dakilahsuan:Instead of being the effect, be the cause.
Bisataoling: Maybe it is doable. It is our true nature to be happy, but we have been to so many unhappy experiences. Just like our thought of God. we think he exists up there and not here inside us.
How will the CWG wisdom or understandings serve us? What can we do with the new message?
A WORD FROM THE NOTE-TAKER:
Perhaps, the most significant event of the month is the completion of the AGOYANGYANG WEBSITE, thanks to Bisa Tao Ling’s efforts in this regard. The Agoyangyang Website is the Mother Website. We envision opening up separate Websites for each of the four aspects of our study, such as Wisdom, Immortality, Prosperity and Harmony. A separate website may also be opened up for the Agoyangyang Dance/Martial Art and Numerology. A new beginning has been blazed. We just have to nurture it to make it a fit medium for the propagation of Unity Consciousness and thus assist in the spiritual awakening of humanity.
Below is a message of appreciation from the Guides:
“The Guides wish to convey their message of appreciation to the group for being able to upload the Agoyangyang Website. We all know that this is just the beginning. A lot of possibilities may come across your way from now on.
We would like to give special highlight to BisaTaoLing for the task well done. Of course, we consider it a joint effort for every one. We are fairly satisfied with your performance.
Your vision and mission is now broadcast to the universe. The seed was sown and it’s beginning to sprout. Nurture it for the good of one and all. Good work”.
Also this month, Policy Guideline NO. 5 was prepared governing the operation of the Website. The registration of the Agoyangyang name was agreed upon. Registration will initially be in BisaTaoLing’s name until a corporate structure is set up.
Covered in this memo-guideline is the change of aspect assignment, effective September 1, 2003, as follows:
Pat Shakti From Wisdom To Prosperity
Bisa Tao Ling From Harmony To Immortality
Dakila Hsuan From Prosperity and Immortality To Wisdom and Harmony
Hopefully, this change of focus will further strengthen the grasp of the individual Partners on one more aspect until eventually all of the aspects are covered in depth.. .Dakila Hsuan, however, will continue to handle the Physical Exercises and Martial Art portion of Immortality, while Bisa Tao Ling will continue to handle Numerology. (Pat Shakti).
