Demon and angel.

Demon and angel.
My demons overpowered me!  I felt as if I were taken by this strange rage, almost inhuman, lust for greed and revenge, such an emotional state I had never experienced before.  I felt lost, my hands trembled, my heart would try to escape my chest with extreme violence, my mind was a tornado of chaos and agitation where every logic had vanished and all freedom was reduced to a subtle and very weak voice…
Demon and angel.
I was not me!  Who was I…?!  And yet there was also an angel in me trying to soothe me, telling me something I couldn’t hear in the midst of the storm, and I felt this angel was part of who I was.  My two masks.  Fighting to be heard and possess me fully.  Two halves of me trying to surface from the very depths of my consciousness…  My two masks.  Frustration, anger, lust, greed, hate, envy.  My demons overpowered me!  They seem to know my weaknesses, as my own ego wallows and grows, fed by them, nurtured by them.  It happens when you ignore yourself for so long that you start to believe you are weak and chained to being this grotesque demon, this wretched soul…
Demon and angel.
As I went outside and screamed, I cursed the cloudy skies and this damned mask overwhelming me and my ideas, condemning my soul and sealing my fate.  Who was I…?!  And yet, this beautiful voice kept whispering between my angry and chaotic thoughts.  I fell on my knees trembling and crying, exhausted and feeling my head ready to explode; too much thinking and questioning, too much stupid fighting and pointless hating.  And the whisper came to me, and it brought a light I had never experienced before, and my conscience became aware of my own faults; for she was there, the angel in me calming the beast… 
Demon and angel.
And then, illumination came, I realized that my two masks, the demon and the angel, were just inventions of my sheer ignorance, of my vain ego; and that in choosing one or the other I am not whole anymore and great suffering takes me hostage..  My two masks…


When you choose one or the other, you are negating one and welcoming the other; furthermore, it is your vain ego which chooses based on what it is expected, on what others have said, on a selfish desire.  To be whole is to accept yourself as you are entirely, use all your energies to build the new, which is being an individual and creating yourself.

The flame surrounded by darkness.

You must be able to see beyond agreement or disagreement in what I write.  You must be able to see art and truth beyond drawings, words, or beautifully embellished speeches.  When you see a flower, you tell yourself that it is beautiful or not; thus your thought pops up and beautifies or dirties that flower.  You are no longer seeing the flower but you are seeing the image thought has built in your mind; and when this happens there can be no insight.
Drop the mind, so insight appears in conscious view….
397ff11df460d6b65f1c32502f183dd5
And what do you think insight is…??  Insight is emptiness.  Insight is direct knowing.  Insight is not concentration.  Insight is absolute intuition power.  Insight is the emptiness between two thoughts; and when thoughts never stop coming up, as usually happens with the mind, insight is lost and buried under thoughts.  Thoughts are objects I can transfer into your mind through my words, but insight is divine and non-transferable.  An individual experience…  Can you see this without agreeing or disagreeing with me, or without having thought study what you read here…??–if you can, then you see it!  Therefore, it is a divine insight rising from the depths of you.

Insight is not any effort, because the conscious mind is effort and insight comes from deeper.  When you read and make an effort to understand, when you see a work of art and study carefully its meaning hidden to you, when you are in a relationship which brings some level of inquiry and confusion into your mind, there is no insight; however good or bad to you, there is no insight there.  And whatever in not insight is a fabrication of society, of our traditions, of our egos, of our beliefs; thus, useful to understand, but tied to a mechanical process like math or any other subject of knowledge, step by step you study and understand, and so step by step you see the light…

But insight is like a flame, deep buried, innocent, creative, beautiful, powerful like a thousand Suns.  It is buried deep under all that knowledge you have acquired through years and years; and it is buried and surrounded by you darkness, such darkness you fear to look into and where love and happiness dwells…  So divine and eternal love and true happiness are insights, not thoughts or feelings; they are your divinity living in buried emptiness, not your humanity wallowing in mental objects/thoughts…

“Enlightened leadership is spiritual if we understand spirituality not as some kind of religious dogma or ideology but as the domain of awareness where we experience values like truth, goodness, beauty, love and compassion, and also intuition, creativity, insight and focused attention.”  ~ Deepak Chopra

Cave of fear!

No one had ever returned from there!  The townsfolk lived in terror that one day the monster would leave the cave, so they regularly left gifts and food at the mouth of the cave, and these always soon disappeared.
31870311_456731461426888_3666857642111795200_n
One day, a young man came to town, and, fearlessly, he went inside, finding his way with a torch.  At first, the monster had a good, long laugh, then went quiet.  Finally he arrived at a huge cavern, so as he approached it he felt that something had hit him hard on his back!  This pushed him into a hole in the rock; and so, he couldn’t avoid it and fell through.  “Darn it, I think the monster has swallowed me,” he said anxiously in his mind while falling.  But as he fell, he heard music and voices.  They got clearer…  And clearer…  And when he made a soft landing at the bottom, he heard, “Surprise!!”

Hardly believing it, he found himself right in the middle of a big party.  The party-goers were all those people who had never returned to the town.  They explained to him that this place had been the idea of an old mayor of the town:  That mayor had tried to accomplish great things, but was always held back by the fears of the people around him; so the mayor had invented the story of the monster to demonstrate to people how such an attitude was so limiting.  So the young man stayed there, enjoying the party and the company of all those who had dared to approach the cave...


So it goes without saying now, if you penetrate into the dark cave of your own mind and dwell meditatively and patiently there, befriend any fears living there, you will transmute fear into love, attitude of defeat into attitude of confidence and passion for your personal goals and your life in general.

Concrete visions.

Are you emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually expressive, free, balanced, healthy…?? Is any type of fear blocking you, depressing you, affecting you in any way…??
31781813_456569091443125_5306822682828865536_n
The subconscious is where our experiences, beliefs and memories are stored.  Self-knowledge, the understanding of our thoughts and behaviors and their influence on our lives, will make the unconscious conscious; however, quite often people repress things, avoid expression, ignore how they feel and think, and they remain trapped in themselves with bouts of sadness, embarrassment, moodiness, anger, and all types of anxiety…  Ever happened to you that your subconscious knows something but your conscious does not fully, or that you feel you cannot quite express yourself or be free from a feeling you have deep inside…??

Liberation, inner revolution, deeper knowledge through drawing or mapping your inner images, visions, or feelings; and this is tapping into your own subconscious to access that repressed sense you have, and this not only frees you to feel better and direct your life with greater vision and confidence but it enables you to communicate more openly with others while you make your unconscious conscious through your art/through your divine expression…  Map your business strategies.  Write down how you feel about a certain situation.  Describe your mental images on paper.  Work on freeing past memories.  Whatever you do, make your unconscious conscious always.  You can see better if the pond is cleaner.

For example, I used to wake up in the middle of the night and write my dreams; and so I found many answers I was looking for in that moment of my life–by making the unconscious forces of consciousness work to my advantage I liberated myself and opened my own conscious mind to greater understanding.  As in dreams, one may experience certain unbalance, unhealthiness, trapped emotions during day or night, and this may disturb us; and so, in those cases making use of our inner abilities for artistic expression is what will make the difference between slavery or freedom.

“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart.  Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” ~ C.G. Jung; Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology.

As I woke up this morning…

As I woke up this morning… thousands of warm slivers of sunshine filled my room, Bobby, my little dog barked in the background, I got up and felt taken by the early morning’s energy.  Then, a particular thought came to mind:   ‘Freedom.’  Freedom…??…  I followed my morning routine, toothbrush and stretch, and I kept on hearing the little shrieking with which I had become so enamored by now.  Bobby wanted to be let out, enjoy the day and expand his own curiosity, thus immerse himself in the wonderful micro-world of smells.  I put his leash on and we started our routine walk, except this time we explored another part of the area.  While strolling and courting the sunshine spectrum we also felt the soothing morning breeze upon us, charmingly refreshing, almost magical, and to really be there was a wonderful experience on its own.  He was sniffing away as if possessed!  “Who knows what sorts of little worlds he finds among the blades of green grass,” I thought while smiling.

My Toy Poodle, Bobby, spotting a bug in our daily morning walks.

As I woke up this morning…  Then, the particular thought came to mind again, ‘Freedom.’  But this time I recognized it.  Bobby wants freedom!  You want freedom!  I want freedom!  We all want freedom!  But not superficial, not the facade of freedom; true freedom, a deeper freedom which has really to do with divinity and not with the flesh.  Although the ignorant mind thinks that it has to do with the flesh; but it does not, does it…??  Freedom from stress, freedom from concepts, freedom from this flesh, freedom from our everyday lives–  This is true freedom!  We all feel this nagging sensation deep inside of us each moment, then thought comes along and gives it a name–which could be ‘Violence,’ ‘Extra eating,’ ‘Sex,’ ‘Killing,’ ‘Bullying,’ ‘Warring,’ ‘Traveling,’ ‘Seek relationships,’ ad infinitum.  The ego is thought, and thought invades the human experience each second of each day, it is relentless, we need it and yet it brings poisoned ways to translate freedom into what we want.  It works subconsciously in the unawakened individual, it starts as a desire to do something, anything, than thought gives it a flavor, a name, an activity…

But it is all about freedom, all we do, all human experience we create in existence; because we all want to come back to Source really, come back to that state of godliness, that eternal essence, or however you call it.  But the ego does not allow us to see that all we want is freedom; that is why to be awakened is to know freedom, to be whole and embrace it…  Although, I have to say, we can become Enlightened, we can love purely, we can live truly free in our lands, self-sufficient; but we can never be 100% free unless no thought exists, no feeling drives us, and no flesh enslaves us.  And what is this absolutely free state…??:  Death.  Or what we call death, anyway…  Now, isn’t it interesting that people live unconsciously, seeking for freedom in all they do, but fearing what they call Death–i.e., fearing the same thing they seek, fearing freedom from all bondage…??…  It is the unknown, isn’t it…??:  Death…  But it is absolute freedom from this mundane jail of pleasure and pain called human experience, and your conscience deeply, beyond your ego, knows this.

Perhaps if we all understand that all we want is freedom, we won’t allow our own egos to drive us into self-destruction, and we won’t destroy the human experience of others by some selfish expression of our own egos.

“Conscious of The Two…”

Once we were One essence without form, personality or gender, then that same essence started the evolution which created gender types and all conscious and subconscious traits; thus trees, rocks, animals, humans were born.  The One expanded the physical experience into two gender types, two very different personas yet to be a whole again.  And how can two become one again…??

The two types are not just physical forms but remain in the individual; the very fact that man decides to embrace more his masculine type is to be unbalanced; and the fact that a woman decides to embrace more her feminine type is to be unbalanced as well.  Each one of us is masculine and feminine, whether one is conscious of this or not; furthermore, this is why there are heterosexuals, homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals, etc, in the wealthy range of human experience today.  These powerful forces pull on our humanity to be free, and sometimes one force is accepted as more conscious than the other.

31676668_455786111521423_6577064818308546560_n

But the two forces remain trapped in the individual, and when we feel stressed because of overthinking, emotionally depleted, filled with anger and frustrations, physically and mentally unhealthy, and the rest of the disruptions in ourselves, is because we do not embrace and bring to light our two essences, thus our chakras are unbalanced and we become poison to ourselves and to others…  There must be a balance to be whole then; one cannot be whole without this inner realization and acceptance of yin and yang, masculine and feminine…

“If any human being is to reach full maturity both the masculine and the feminine sides of the personality must be brought up into consciousness.”  ~ Mary Esther Harding; British-American Jungian psychoanalyst.

Creator.

Do we create or destroy…??  Does humanity know true beauty…??–And I mean real beauty beyond your individual choice…??

It seems to me that we, specially men, who are the ones who rule society, are not truly conscious of the value in woman, and of the value in any human being for that matter.  Men send their own children to be maimed and perish in a stupid war.  Now, they do this nonsense because they are not Creators.  Women are creators:  Would they send their own creations, out of their own flesh and blood, to be maimed and killed, and to kill other creations…??

31510488_454990514934316_5920835369288335360_n

“Creator”

What is a Creator…??  Tell me, do you know…??
O I fear am lost in the deepest schemes of vanity!
Have I seen Her…??  Have I missed Her glow…??
Alas, this Death has no peace but sheer insanity!
Tell me, for I do not know:  Where does it all start…??
I know it is the truest and most divine Call of Life,
But ignorant men about speak of no divine part;
However, truth resonates in my soul beyond strife.

The child is the true man of Creation, heir of beauty;
His many creations in the world are born from Her.
Woman embodies the Call of Life, the divine duty.
Do you not see she is the lovely Mother of the heir.
Is it some illusion of the senses of repressed men…??
All I see and hear is wars and the cackle of Death.
Men dying, God crying, Satan smiling in his den!
Can Creator leave their own children without breath…??

If your eye could see the tragedy in men’s minds,
The abhorrent perplexity possessing their thought,
You could fathom the sacred value which reminds
Of the value of a woman, the purity in Her brought.
For he who is living in the Conscious Light of God
Can see with conscience and truth the Light in Her.
Flesh be the surface of the ocean rich and broad,
The origin of Life lies deep in Her waters most fair.

Your vibrations…

You are made of vibrations.  Your experiences are made of vibrations.  The whole world is made of vibrations.  So, it is vital for us to understand that because we are vibrations, then it is all about lower and higher vibrations, or it is all about the “manipulation” or management of these vibrations:  The lower the vibration, the less spiritually awake we are, thus the less love and happiness we are able to experience.  The higher the vibration, the more spiritually awake we are, thus the more love and happiness we are able to experience…  Can you see this yourself…??
4c2a21827a1acd80b3a5bb828e3ba64d
Humans are more complex beings, right…??  Animals and nature in general can access easier the management of their vibrations, they are more in tune with their godly states–i.e., less knowledge and intelligence means more innocence and simplicity.  But we humans eat everything, go everywhere, create hell or heaven, read, have more intricate languages, our egos are much more poisonous, etc. etc.
And for that reason, we must be highly self-aware of the management of our vibrations; and so, you can see the turmoil and stupidity of the world we have made, because most of us do not know, or even ignore, the better management of our own vibrations–in health of body and mind, in thinking patterns, in words or language, in behaviors, in all emotional understanding.  Much discipline is lacking in the common individual, is it not…??

So, in your daily living become self-aware, lead yourself to higher vibrations in order to be absolute and enjoy wholeness; but do not seek excuses because of age, culture, race, origin, gender, health.  Excuses are just stupid and pointless, you are just lying to yourself; for no matter what your situation is in life, you can always be self-aware and manage yourself to higher vibrations…  It all starts in your mind…

“To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind.  If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.”  ~ Buddha.

Step out of the cage!

Is inspiration something that bashes you on the head suddenly…?? Is inspiration something which is only reserved for the highly creative…??
Step out of the cage and create inspiration!
31507791_454452364988131_3426356052109557760_n
If you look at the world through people’s “logic” and beliefs, something is missing in their everyday lives–they make mistake after mistake, they do not take responsibility for their own actions, they seem to ignore what love and truth really are, they hate their jobs, etc…  Why is that…??  Is it because they lack inspiration to see and understand even their own lives…??

The artist waits for inspiration to hit him because throughout the ages society and all philosophies have told him that inspiration is a divine magic which comes to him from above, from somewhere he is not.  And this ignorant knowledge has gotten out and filled the minds of all of us, so inspiration has become a wealthy trait, something miraculous, something which not everybody can access.  Doesn’t seem fair, does it…??  I mean we all have to create in our lives, we all must fix our personal problems, we all struggle to find success in whatever we do, we all need a little inspiration daily, right…??

It is the waiting that which distances people.  The waiting is killing us.  No.  Why would you wait for inspiration when you must look inside you for inspiration, like you must look inside you for love and happiness.  Step out of your own mechanical thinking and inspire yourself!  Step out of the cage and create inspiration!  You must be proactive and creative, because these are traits we all have; and you find them step by step:  Write down ideas, think about past memories, connect to how you really feel, begin to work out the simple and easy things, and so on…  As an artist, I say that I never wait for inspiration, I am inspiration; so I begin to write something simple, I draw something simple, I see my feelings… and, Voila!:  There it is..

Step out of the cage and create inspiration!

“Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts.  This is the secret of success.”  ~ Swami Sivananda.

The power game in relationships.

Power is politics, isn’t it…??  Power carries a selfish end, doesn’t it…??  Can power then be related or go with true love…??
Politics is the group of activities associated with the ruling or governing of something, of a country, of groups of people, of a person; and especially the debate or conflict among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power.  Love, true love, is free, which means it does not demand, rule, or desire to control; but love exists simply for the sake of existing as a divine connection, no other motives or purposes.  Power is politics and the opposite of love– Can you see this for yourself…??
31369485_454050161695018_57630532602691584_n
Why do you desire money…??  It will bring power.  Why do you want to rule a country…??  It will bring power.  Why do you want respectability and prestige…??  It will bring power.  People search for power, consciously or subconsciously, in different ways…  For thousands of years, the ignorant society of men in which we live has created ways for men to be powerful–i.e., in schooling, jobs, patriarchy in the family, religion and its stupid systems, etc. etc.  Women have been left with only one outlet, namely their bodies, their physical beauty; thus, we have prostitution and all pornography popular…  But slowly more opportunities are now being given for women to be powerful, to get out of the old bondage; fighting men to get university degrees, claiming her place in the home, voting, authoring and leading, etc. etc.

But the truth is, power is politics, and power only brings misery, contention, competition, inferiority and superiority, and the rest of the nonsense.  And in relationships the struggle for power only brings suffering and confusion, it has nothing to do with love and everything to do with fear–i.e., Who is better??  Who is right??  Who does more in the relationship??  Who gets his or her way more??…  This is an ugly state.  This should not be so.  And if love is to exist then this must change; for love cannot be reduced to power politics, thus you are killing love…

Life is relationship, and relationship is love; this means life is only happily experienced through relationship, and the only true relationship is based on love, not attachment or fear of any kind.  So, take politics out of love, because a relationship will slowly die if you bring politics into it; and, if all the relationships you have die, then your happy experience of life will die as well…  Perhaps you can’t see this right now, but it is the way humanity works, the way deeper into things that most people take for granted…
