Have you considered real love…??

If you want the moon, do not hide at night.  If you want a rose, do not run from the thorns.  If you want love, do not hide from yourself. ”  ~ Rumi.


 

To love oneself, the elevation of oneself, the true knowledge of oneself, must be the purpose of our individual existence; because if one does not truly and absolutely love oneself, then one cannot truly love another being.  And it is not enough to say in your mind “I love myself,” but it is in the small things of our daily living where we must show ourselves love–i.e., in the way we eat, in the types of food we ingest, in the thoughts we entertain in our minds, in cleaning our place, in cooking for ourselves, in exercising, in the things we read, etc. etc.

So everything starts in this love for ourselves.  If you cannot accept and love yourself, everything and anything you do in life is superficial.  Without self-love, you are forced to fall in the trap of seeking love and happiness outside of yourself–i.e., in relationships, in situations, in jobs, in travels, in cultures, in religions, etc..  This seeking is the form of false “love” the ego has created in you, this fake “love” is attachment.

Changed

As the darkness settled I felt empty,
A void and an abyss deep within me.
The people who were lost were plenty,
A vast wilderness where I could not be.

The hidden loathing was for the many lies,
Which I told to myself every waking day.
And I would not listen to the loud cries,
Ill by the pleasures of my body’s decay.

But as I saw I became one with the light,
For before true love I knew estranged;
The darkness in me had been my sight,
The emptiness within had now Changed.

Will you learn real love in you…??

Who are you…??

Are you your name…??  Are you your appearance in the mirror…??  Do you know who you are by the people around you, by your relation to them, by your past with them, by the education you have, by your ideas…??  So, who are you…??
And the problem is that people seek their value, their identity, themselves, in what they do, in what others say, in their constant thinking, in the ideas and traditions, the beliefs and memories of a past.  Constantly thinking thus makes one a slave of thoughts, such a mechanical thing bound to stress and anxiety, to many forms of confusion; consequently, man lives in frustration and confusion.
Jiddu-Krishnamurti-quotes
Most people walk around using their minds so much, and for so long, every day without breaks, that they actually believe they are what they think; so, whatever thought pops up, whatever feeling is created by their minds, they believe it is them, so they follow it, they praise it, they even receive instructions through it by God or by some “Heaven”, and thus they believe that truth is intellectual, rationalized, pondered and created by the mind.
priestbookgreen_4
The brain is under the powerful conditioning of its past, of society, of family, of what happened, of what was, of what other people did, of the beliefs and traditions instructed into it; thus, it is not a free mind, it cannot think clearly.

This is the greatest corruption of the world, the ignorance which creates wars, prejudice, animal killing, rape, political subterfuge, religious blindness, famine, etc. etc. 

But is this the real human identity…??  Are human beings then just a thought of confusion, hatred, jealousy, pleasure, and the rest which brings agitation to the mind…?? …  Not.  To know yourself is to go beyond this petty surface, past the glamour and darkness of thinking; and so, the wonderful trip is without effort, because it is already there, who you are, what you are, inside you.  You discover it for yourself… alone… in silence…

To bring peace and harmony to your daily thinking, to see beauty and truth in the world, to know yourself as the energy and light you could bring out into your life, you must observe yourself from within and not just look at the reflection on your mirror or hear your name being called by someone you love.  To transcend, to see past your daily thoughts and feelings, you must discover the source of energy within you, the eternal one which gives birth to your whole humanity…

So, will you take the time and discover it for yourself…??

29244192_436665956766772_42665724082126848_n

“Know yourself to improve yourself.”  ~ Auguste Comte; French philosopher.

Are you suffering…??

Whatever suffering you are going through right now, whatever issue you have, whatever memory pains you, it feels so deep and constant, buried into your thoughts and overwhelming your whole body as you bring memory of it, because in reality there is no separation; but it is your ego, your intellect, the one which tells you to run away from it or to fill your life with ways to ignore it, which thus builds the illusion of being two–i.e., you and suffering.  This is why life is experienced as duality and Oneness seems to be just a nice concept; for thought, the ego, makes it all dual in order for us to choose between two, form different human relationships, and see differences in this physical world.

dc21af099b8c5078f23989797b5bb91d
But underneath the myriad of structures of this world, underneath your joy and your suffering, there is only one essence which is the experience, neither positive nor negative… just an experience… just an experience your ego chooses to translate into joy or suffering… and which becomes the dual experience of your humanity… the differences you think and feel every single day…
29176900_434551076978260_8728962567407403008_n
Being human means duality, which is moments of joy and moments of pain, pure and impure thoughts, feelings of confidence and feelings of worthlessness; and so, all these are us, are part of our humanity.  And because it is part of our humanity this dual process, then we must embrace and acknowledge whatever we go through, not ignore it or escape it.  But we must welcome it and accept it, not dwell in it and not relive it over and over again; so, you are to feel it, explore that feeling, accept, and move on with your life, and for that you MUST forgive yourself and others.

 

Two are One.  One and the same.  When you run away from something you feel, for example suffering, you run away or ignore yourself; and because of this deep process of neglect upon yourself by yourself, then suffering comes back strong and never leaves you–i.e, as a form of self-punishment or self-slavery, one may say. 

But instead of ignoring or running away from it, you must acknowledge and accept, just be, welcome it and do not react to whatever you feel… because in time you will feel the Oneness in you… because in time your mind and your body will become one and you will not suffer what before troubled you so… because in time you will embrace the love of acceptance and your mind will stop dwelling on past memories while resisting to leave…


29176900_434551076978260_8728962567407403008_n



“Buddhism teaches us not to try to run away from suffering.  You have to confront suffering.  You have to look deeply into the nature of suffering in order to recognize its cause, the making of the suffering.”  ~ Thich Nhat Hanh.

An apology based on True Love.

Thoughts, words, intentions, sincere or not, might be important to you, as a reason for hope, as senders of trust, as a message for or from someone you love felt in the moment; however, as I have said it before, all these are conditioned to the past because as soon as you pronounce them or feel them they are gone, up and down just like a roller coaster, and also they are attached to time, to your current moods, feelings.   They are not actual experiences, they can mean something today and tomorrow something different, and the day after that they can be gone, forgotten.

empty-words
All that is of time and space–i.e., thoughts, words, intentions, ideas, etc.–is not real, such not real in the sense that these are tied to moods of change, to views and opinions. The only thing that is real, eternal in the moment when is actually done, is action, behavior. Just like love, changed behavior, action, creates something real, brings evolution, brings the truth out. Always look for and create yourself change in order to love yourself and another; because the rest is truly meaningless.


The experience, the action based on love, as an apology, is the real thing; therefore; change is now, change is not of time, change is not tied to a word, a desire, a mere intention, change is eternal.

There is always change, moving forward onto better things, as life itself is change, as you bring love into the world by change, as you make others feel loved by your change; for this change says “I love you so much, I care so much, that I change and better myself for all of us; for I truly love myself.”

Stages-of-behavior-change

Change based on love then is what really builds and communicates a deeper connection–in friendship, in family, in marriages, in all relationships.  But to change a behavior you must focus with steely determination and rest upon great motivation, become aware of your situation, feel in your heart the need and the want to change for your good and for the good of others.  And the secret of change is not to do it solely for others, because if you do then at some point in time you will change back, you will allow your ego to pull you back into what you were before; because this change is superficial and based on fear and not love–fear because you are changing to please others, maybe because you want their love, their attention, popularity, etc.  But true change is based on love, self-love; you do it for yourself, because you want to change, because you love yourself and you want to become better for yourself; furthermore, when you do this for yourself is true love because you do not get tired of working to better yourself, it makes you happy, and so it makes others happy.


That is why, in all honesty, if you want to trust, know, love and relate yourself with people, perhaps begin or strengthen a relationship also, always look at their actions, their behavior, as you change your behaviors as well; thus, never fully rely and love a word, a message, however loving and sincere.  Trust the truth, which is changed behavior; because changed behavior is an actual display of love. 
And isn’t true love an action and not merely a word…??

“Apologies are great, but they don’t really change anything. You know what does?: Action.” ~ Stella Young; Australian comedian, journalist and disability rights activist.

Are you intelligent in your own life…??

Do you know why most people tend to make bad choices over and over again throughout their lives…??  People all over the world, even with higher education and vast experience, live in ignorance and create wars and all sorts of ignorant evil or mischief, so one wonders… aren’t these people with all their education and vast life experience supposed to be intelligent and create beauty instead of mayhem…?? …

So, what is really intelligence…??

28783396_432408427192525_5081735756221775872_n
All most of these people do is search for more success in the world, more recognition, more knowledge from books, more experiences, but all this goes to their intellect, which is the ego; so, all this is the accumulation of knowledge, superficial data which is gained by effort and struggle, as the mind is always trying to fix, always trying to achieve more and increase in superficial, mechanical awareness–an ambition which is capable of consuming the individual in pride of becoming better, more knowledgeable, more successful, more rich, more spiritual, etc..

All this never-ending struggle for becoming is a denial of what one really is, because one is never satisfied with that which one is, because one finds identity and worth, the ego finds identity and worth, in accomplishing and struggling to be.  This false identity and worth is tied then to our ego, to our daily thoughts of joy and suffering, to all feelings which like a roller coaster take us up and down in mood swings and through the neurosis of one’s state of mind.  This distances us from our real value and we start paying attention to people’s opinions of ourselves and to the very alluring but very ignorant society–i.e., what you should be, how is your life to be improved, what to eat, what to wear, what career to follow, etc.  Thus life becomes based on fear of not being better than somebody else and all fear of not becoming what they say we should become.  No real love grows within us…

As-I-began-to-Love-Myself-790x790
But is there a superior way to internalize and accept that which one is without the struggle and obsession to become better…??

Meditation, observing, peering into oneself, is realizing that there is no struggle in being, that we do not need to seek for experiences and obsess over becoming this or that in order to accept life and flow with it.  Observing the tides or ocean waves going in and out is relaxing and powerful, and so there is much learning of wisdom in it; and so, one does not have to think and struggle to understand the movement of the waves, but in simply observing our consciousness grows because now there is no distance between you and the moving water, there is no word, there is no judgement, there is simply a superior understanding which is real intelligence where the ego is dissolved.
so-you-think-you-can-trance-the-benefits-of-meditation-2-638

The same observing is required in all aspects of life to understand, to absorb wisdom and grow, to observe is to be intelligent without the struggle and desire to be intelligent.  Without comparing yourself to the world, without following, without all this behavior out of fear of not becoming this, you become really intelligent, you are what you are now; ergo, you follow your untainted heart without the ego demanding of you, you just flow and do not struggle to please others and fill the expectation others have of you.



“Joy in looking and comprehending is nature’s most beautiful gift.” ~ Albert Einstein.

Freedom from the enemy.

Is the word, opinion, judgement, or idea which appears in the mind, the actual experience…?? Does a word have reality which can actually hurt you, or is it a word a form of duality from what is actually happening…?? How can anyone really be free and independent if one does not meditate on this deeply…??

28685017_431503813949653_6273967344142254080_n
Words are powerful constructs in the mind, mechanical, patterns of conditioning mostly; especially negative words which condemn or judge, because these words analyze experiences as they might go for us, as they might be for us, and not experiences as they really are–i.e., “She will break up with me,” “I won’t be good enough,” “I will faint in front of them,” “I will get sick,” “I am not awakened enough to become that,” and so on and so forth.  All thoughts not based on reality.

 

But all words, negative and positive, are of time, are they not…??  They either describe the past or the future.  You are looking at a flower, you see its colors, its form, you feel mystically enthralled by it or not; so, then comes thought, a word or phrase which says “It is a beautiful flower” or “It is a horrible flower.”  But as soon as these words come into the mind, you are distancing yourself from the actual experience, the actual Now moment, you are labeling the experience as you wish, you are focused on the words and not on the actual substance which connects you to the flower–namely love, which is pure silence.

Words judge for good or bad, they create a description which is not the actual experience; there is an image of the flower in your mind now, that image attracts you to the flower’s form or it repulses you.

blog-you-need-to-face-your-fears

This is how all fear, and its many forms of attachment, is born, by a thought which judges and creates a distance between this same word and the actual experience which does not need words.

But by just observing fear, without judging or naming it, you go beyond it, beyond thought, beyond time itself; consequently, you dwell in this silence of the mind which is beyond thought, and this silence is rich, vital, energizing, dynamic, without judgement of any kind, where there is ABSOLUTE freedom from fear–unlike any concept of freedom the intellect or the ego understands.

Ways of The Light…

What is it that moves man beyond his intellectual education and given environment into greater heights of achievement…??  What is the difference between people who do and people who do not do, or between people who fight and people who give up…??  What is the way of life, or the wholly blissful experience of this divine condition we call life…??

Begin-each-day-with-optimism
The ego possesses the common man in a way which fogs reality and gives concepts and ideas to everything which happens in life, so we can say that this mind is tense and frustrated, joyful at times but easily overwhelmed by worry and stress.

This creates fear, conscious or subconscious, which gives man a false sense of experience, mental images of gloom and doom where suffering is all they see as reality; thus, man experiences chaos and negativity, and this brings pessimism and hopelessness in powerful bouts–sometimes long periods of depression and moods which injure the mind in question.

optimism-world-suffering-overcoming
This process of pessimism and hopelessness makes the mind weak and susceptible to all kinds of illnesses–i.e., it lowers the immune system, it stresses the nervous system, it creates cancers, it makes us repellents to better opportunities in life.


That is why the way to health in all aspects, the way of life, is being positive, being optimistic; which is not being attached to a particular outcome but being brave enough to keep a positive and faithful attitude even in the middle of chaos or crisis.

This is indubitably the greatest tool in the arsenal of the strong warrior, because it takes a highly intelligent and strong man to remain positive in the midst of the storm; consequently, knowing that he can indeed survive and come out triumphant is what drives him forward with a true and powerful heart.


28377783_429417187491649_614029642990354432_n
Being optimistic is not being naive and closed to reality, but the opposite–being optimistic is having the inner strength to quiet your own ego, your nagging thoughts and feelings tugging at you and making you see the worst scenario possible.   Being optimistic is allowing yourself to actually create your own experience and not allowing your outer environment and what your eyes see to tell you how to feel and lead your life.   To create beauty and good opportunities for yourself in this life, you must be able to envision good things in your mind first; but, furthermore, you must also be able to keep seeing good things in your mind constantly, patiently, faithfully, committedly, because otherwise you are just a mechanical tool of society/of your environment. 

…So, who are you–someone who creates his/her own life, or someone who follows the rabble and mechanically complies with whatever randomly happens…??  …  Think about it deeply for the answer…


 

“Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power.”  ~ William James; American psychologist, philosopher, educator, and writer.

What is driving you…??

There has to be an engine which drives you in life, in order for you to accept challenges and create great beauty in your path or in order to fail and self-pity your attempts over and over again; furthermore, this inner strength or drive must be based on something real, something everlasting and strong, something which is not made from a thought or concept.  Reality.  Namely love, not fear.
Character is the moral and ethical values which drive your life, what certainly creates you from within; and without this higher character you cannot build a successful and truly happy life.  Happiness is not an outcome of any exterior success or achievement, as most people believe in ignorance, but it is the ever flowing substance that you are and which can only be embraced and experienced if you carry your mental and physical body with high morals/with excellent character.

Character offers you mental freedom and peace to be yourself and fill this same mind with truth and love/a higher understanding.
quote-character-is-the-spiritual-body-of-the-person-and-represents-the-individualization-of-vital-edwin-percy-whipple-380033

On the other hand, reputation is what the ego pushes on you–i.e., a better pay, a better person compared to others, a more successful career, a man or woman of nicer words, etc. etc.  Reputation is beliefs and opinions others have about you, and this cannot bring you true happiness because this reputation does not allow you to be unique, independent, free of the demands and opinions of others. 

Reputation, even though society sees it differently, is based on fear, it is attachment to others fearing that they do not approve of you.  When you pursue reputation, your mind is not at peace but it is agitated and struggling to make others like you.



But to be yourself and base your life and your actions on love and truth is to express your heart, it is to learn to free yourself from the expectation of others so you can be mentally free and able to see your own path clearly.  So, ponder this:  What is it that is driving you really in your life today…??  Is it what others might think of you…??  Or is it your unique character to express yourself freely…??  (Be honest with yourself.)

“Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow.  The shadow is what we and others merely think of it; but the tree is the real thing.”  ~ Abraham Lincoln; American statesman, lawyer, and 16th President of the United States.

In perfect balance…

In our society is easy to see the two conditions of life divided in the human being, such conditions which are The Divine Feminine and The Divine Masculine; therefore, we see purely intellectuals, purely emotional and spirituals, purely greedy and obsessed, purely religious and indifferent from the world, etc. etc.  We see men with stubborn minds of knowledge who work hard and remain distanced from their own emotions.  We see women who only have romance and the desire to have kids in their minds.  All this is the very fragmentation of the mind, from which all suffering and differences arise in the world.

In-Perfect-Balance

Wars, for example, are started due to greed and hatred, fear born in insecure minds; insecure intellects which create war for financial purposes and to establish power as a nation or group.  This is the intellect of man/the ego of man guiding the individual.  When either one, the intellect or the emotions guide humankind we are unbalanced, we are dual, we are attached to suffering and pleasure; thus, the never-ending roller coaster of the unawakened individual, where true happiness cannot exist.  This not maturity, for maturity is to balance both, the intellect and the heart, the ego and the emotion. As Buddha says, ‘The Middle Way.’ Balance.

“Maturity is the ability to think, speak and act your feelings within the bounds of dignity.  The measure of your maturity is how spiritual you become during the midst of your frustrations.” ~ Samuel Ullman; American businessman, poet, and humanitarian.

28576602_431536050613096_2128937064387837952_n

We are beings which carry both substances, which in reality are one; but thought, which lives in time and names everything, comes along and says “Feminine” or “Masculine”, and so we choose because thought also says “One is weaker” “The other stronger.”


But the human mind, if it is to elevate itself to the heights of all illumination, must embrace both and merge as one, accept the role of both intellectual and emotional, of analysis and heart.  Only this balance, this divine merging, this enlightening Oneness, can bring about peace and harmony in the mind and reflect an outer world of equal peace and harmony.

 


Balance.”

True transmutation is the balance of the two,
The balance of the two is the wellness of life;
This is the wisdom of the ages which were,
Such which lives in the Light of Conscience.

Without light man dwells in darkness,
Without seeing man seeks and seeks;
With pride in the search he fills himself–
Doesn’t he know that he has no eyes…??

Eternal children of both raised by one,
The One became the two and it began;
The miraculous purpose is laid unto him,
As the pendulum swings about his life.

The Source be man, man be the Source,
As the many be one, one be the many;
Rose from darkness to all of society be,
To find the balance which is the true way to be.

People’s aggression.

Suffering brings certain reactions in the individual, either suffering due to our own ignorant choices or some subconscious conditioning programming our deep personas, and these reactions manifest violence most of the time, explosive, irrational, and prejudiced, because these are reactions based on fear.

8461d5b6b1aee69a3818436fb8c587e3
Watch your thoughts and emotions when dealing with irrational people; because it is about your mental peace, so either observe their lunacy or just walk away…    “Weak people, revenge.  Strong people, forgive.  Intelligent people ignore.”  ~ Albert Einstein.

Fear comes along and the mind alters itself by the dark presence of it, and so this mind distances itself from clarity, harmony, love, deeper understanding; consequently, this mind, overwhelmed by fear, seeks security, it says, “Before somebody else hurts me or judges me in any way, I’ll do it first to them.”


Obviously, this mind is absurd and ignorant, without any rationale, it can only see the image of fear and suffering it has built; and so, it overtakes the whole being, which brings tension to the body, sicknesses, and patters of fog in the higher thinking process.
This mind, this individual is lost, and it is of great value to try and understand the psychology in his reaction; not put up with it, but not fall victim of his manipulation and violent reactions either.  Oftentimes it is better to walk away to keep our own peace of mind.
c0d9fd3ee356fa4c141686702cafac8c
Fear has a way to overwhelm the mind of a person, just like fog overwhelms the pure air of a fresh evening near a beautiful  lake.  And this fear hides behind pride and heated, violent patterns of thoughts, crooked views which change the whole structure of the human being, at a point where the same fear, the same irrational and explosive persona takes hold and guides the person’s interactions.  But for your own sake and growth you must put it out of your mind, forgive and forget, move on, choose to not let it affect you.  Change your thoughts, work on something else, drive yourself to an inspirational, more productive task instead of dwelling on frustrating or angry thoughts towards what happened in the past.  Ask yourself:  Who is in control here…??  And what kinds of thoughts will help me move on…??

It is certainly enlightening to see the truth of it and understand the mind in this process, because in our daily lives we might be interacting with these persons; so, to avoid to get sucked into their dramas, and often perhaps to help them see this, is a great trait to master and practice to better walk the path of our lives.

“Don’t Take Anything Personally.  Nothing others do is because of you.  What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream.  When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.”  ~ Don Miguel Ruiz; Mexican author of Toltec spiritualist and neoshamanistic texts.
