Alchemical purposes…

“The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.”  ~ Paulo Coelho.

“Why do we have to listen to our hearts?” the boy asked.  “Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you will find your treasure.”  ~ Paulo Coelho; Brazilian lyricist and novelist.

 

Alchemy is an ancient path of spiritual purification and transformation; the expansion of consciousness and the development of insight and intuition through images.  Alchemy is steeped in mysticism and mystery.  It presents to the initiate a system of eternal, dreamlike, esoteric symbols that have the power to alter consciousness and connect the human soul to the Divine.

 

The Light within each of us is the ultimate truth and reality, all deeds based on love and wisdom come from its brilliance, from its eternal devotion to all Creation and its divine process; however, only awakened individuals really understand this, because one truly understand this with the pure heart and not with the I.Q. or thought/ego.

Spiritual_Warfare_by_NylaRossini

And the highest percentage of the world, even though they can be nice and caring people, even highly knowledgeable into spiritual texts, are asleep and not aware of this profound truth and reality; therefore, the awakened ones for them do not exist, because they themselves in their massive egos feel the surface of the planet is what reality is–i.e., what they experience with their physical senses is it.

They lose themselves in this superficial nonsense.

 

But the ones among us who are truly awakened and so deem the most paramount subject that of mental elevation, indeed may be call true Alchemists.

And even though the road of alchemical wisdom is the road less traveled due to it being the opposite of illusion, of the ego, we must do our work diligently and faithfully in order to heighten our senses and expand self-love to reach that life-long summit of enlightenment, and so attract like-minds to populate the earth.

Planet Earth is going through a shift, we can recognize that; and that is why all the natural disasters, political and military upheavals and wars, and shifts of consciousness.

This can only mean one thing:  That life is moving forwards into a new face of evolution, such evolution of the Mind and the Invisible Forces; therefore, the wise ones must accept and keep moving forwards with it.

Like water…

“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.”  ~ George Bernard Shaw; Irish playwright, critic and polemicist.

178eb-1421180987966

“You must be shapeless, formless, like water.  When you pour water into a cup, it becomes the cup.  When you pour water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle.  When you pour water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.  Water can drip and it can crash…  Become like water, my friend.”

All over the world people confuse intelligence with knowledge–i.e., knowledge is information, rigid data which serves a purpose in analyzing and categorizing certain constructs and patterns; but, on the other hand, intelligence goes beyond it, because it is our inner strength and our imagination at work here, our adaptability to change, and the realization that life is ever moving forwards like the the wise but steady flow of a beautiful river.

It is not intelligence to have memory and recite Shakespeare or do math equations, because these are patterns you can re-construct and analyze in your mind from a data-base in this same conscious mind–most likely learned from school, a teacher, or a book.   This is what the world praises and recognizes as intelligence and genius, but this is just the seat of thought/the ego–our conscious thought is just the surface of our mind/our humanity, but intelligence lies beyond the surface.  Take for example your human body–even though ignorant people think you are what you see in the mirror, you really are the energy moving your body/the divine energy within each cell making up the physical body.

 

The photo below clearly states that intelligence is the ability to adapt to change, such ability that we all have; however, many people fall trap of a lazy and comfortable ego, they are attached to cultures and lifestyles, to traditions and memories, and they suffer because of this neglectful process against experiencing a richer, wiser life.
22491803_1472740539441577_8056678045611632568_n
Happiness, absolute bliss can only be embraced and experienced if we move along with life, within its wisdom and without being attached to something in the past.
It is the wise sage the one who sees change and enjoys change, because he knows that in this hides the secret to enjoy the eternal present which moves ever forward with life.

Through our hands…

“Whenever I climb I am followed by a dog called ‘Ego’.”  ~ Friedrich Nietzsche.

 

The Ego Dissolves

The red roses had nearly died,
The passionate youth had begun its cry,
As my heart rose with a poor beat,
As my ego had increased its bleat;
The winter was here and I immersed in pain,
Air terribly cold and full of memories the rain.
As I saw the cattle in tender embrace,
The birds in love under God’s grace,
The sky giving birth to the lovely cloud,
The currents whispering sweet care loud,
While I walked the lonely road
And depression within me flowed,
Felt I the sins of my mind,
Illusions of separation which led me blind.
You and I had grown apart,
We had neglected the pure heart,
Our pride and foolishness had won,
Ego as powerful as the loaded gun;
Our first meeting had begun red as the flower,
Then our eye deviated from the flame of all power.
Surely the one I was which buried the soul,
The one which took from us the goal;
You were the firm and steady rock,
Of this tender strength I admit I was the block.
But later my heart contemplated the truth,
Yes, Of the heart the passionate youth.
A wise lesson hidden under the painful story,
Your voice came to my mind and this was glory,
God throughout my form, the energy was intense;
The wisdom of love and the growth of character hence.
With the free flow of love The Ego Dissolves,
With the full expression of the spirit the mind evolves.

S_eparation is seen as the greatest illusion when true love exists in your life. Only the moment the ego dissolves true love appears._

 

“He who treats his woman like a princess is a living proof that the woman who raised him is a Queen.”  ~ Unknown.

 

Through our hands…
From many a travel beyond the stars,
From two passionate soul memoirs,
The energy which sizzles connection,
Profound love through our affection.

Through our hands we feel the stars so bright,
Into the cosmos the link when they hold tight;
The purest sensation of warmth and care,
The love incandescent which the souls bear.

The mysteries of Creation so vast
Meet not in the future or the past;
The present holds the secrets of All,
As our love dances in the Celestial Hall.

Through our hands the sleeper wakes into reality,
Into the horizon we gaze the heavenly totality;
The magic now overtakes us in sacred communion,
Love expands within us to make the purest union.

Just a reminder about love…

“Many times I say learn the art of love, but what I really mean is:  Learn the art of removing all that hinders love.  It is a negative process.  It is like digging a well: You go on removing many layers of earth, stones, rocks, and then suddenly there is water.  The water was always there; it was an undercurrent.  Now you have removed all the barriers, the water is available.  So is love: Love is the undercurrent of your being.  It is already flowing, but there are many rocks, many layers of earth to be removed.”  ~ Osho; Indian mystic, guru, and spiritual teacher.

 

I particularly like the above quote from Osho because it guides me to enlightenment:  It states that there is nothing we have to do to learn to love, the love essence is there, deep inside we are it; however, to experience and share that love we just have to remove all the obstacles to truly express that same love towards ourselves and towards someone else–i.e., the obstacles being the ego, as in condemning behaviors, judging looks, obsessing about an imagined relationship, jealousy, etc.

22540153_502954046733055_426436063830285405_n

 

And in this one he is again talking about Oneness, the importance of thinking and feeling in terms of one essence, love.  When in a committed relationship, if the mind makes a distance and starts thinking in terms of two, then there will always be differences and annoyances; but if we allow our minds to be one with our hearts, then we’ll start experiencing the relationship as one–i.e., whatever you do to make your partner happy makes you happy as well, and vice versa:

“In real love there is no relationship, because there are not two persons to be related to.  In real love there is only love, a flowering, a fragrance, a melting, a merging.  Only in egoistic love are there two persons, the lover and the loved.  And whenever there is the lover and the loved, love disappears.  Whenever there is love, the lover and the beloved both disappear into love.”  ~ Osho.

Chains of illusion.

“In search of the Truth that shall sustain, uphold, and guide you, you have looked outwards and sought for it objectively, and thus have been lost in the shadows of manifestation. To find that spring of Truth you must look within, you must purify your heart and mind.”  ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti; spiritual teacher, philosopher, public speaker, and author.

 

Everyone in the world falls in confusion, they search for that truth which will give them happiness and freedom; but, not knowing what happiness and freedom really are and feel like, they believe ignorantly that acquiring pleasures in relationships, economy, and societal positions in general will bring this happiness and freedom into their lives.

featured
Even though they can be spiritual and kind people, the ego has a massive hold in each their lives, so much so their heart’s purity is buried under all this poisonous garbage without their awareness.

While they search for this divine Light outside, they neglect more and more what they have within them.  Because they admit that they are weak, because they maintain that they cannot stand without the support of another, they have been given crutches that will support them momentarily, instead of developing their own strength to go forward in search of the pure waters of Truth. So, they lean on churches and temples, on philosophers and saints, on the Quran and the Bible and other texts.

Thus, they, by neglecting and burying deeper and deeper the Light within them (under beliefs and the words of others), imprison themselves, chain themselves without knowing, farther and farther away from true happiness and freedom.

But if you are wise, you must free yourself and search for the key to freedom within you.

Everlasting…

“You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.”  ~ Sam Keen; author, professor and philosopher.

“Love is happy when it is able to give something.  The ego is happy when it is able to take something.”  ~ Osho; Indian mystic, guru, and spiritual teacher.

 

All human experience is based upon true love, or the essence of love; however, the ego always wants to design opinions and interpretations, it wants to deviate the experience–i,.e., give that experience different qualities, feel, concepts, etc. And when it comes to relationships specially, the ego comes suddenly and focuses on the superficiality which has nothing to do with true love.

thr

The fact is that in any relationship, whenever you allow your attention to center on the flaws (which all human beings have) you are tied to think about those same flaws, your mind then suffers and becomes violent, and soon you create emotions which do not help but make everything worse in your life.

But when you focus on the positive behaviors or traits of the other person, then your mind frees itself from any suffering, your emotions help you experience happiness in each moment, and opportunities and life in general seem more enjoyable in all aspects.

On top of that, because you are focused on the good now, with your loving acceptance and example you pave the way for guiding yourself and the other person towards fixing those flaws or becoming better in the relationship.   This is the magic of true love.

 

Beyong the ego

Love does not exist

Within the ego’s mist.

True love is beyond opinion and want,

Beyond the selfish taunt.

It is not of this time and space,

Not even of the body and face;

True love is the essence of deep care,

Of our physical lives the same air.

                                                              ~ Asa

True love cannot exist if you judge or focus on the flaws of your partner, friend, or family member. True love is like a flame_

The road less traveled.

“Honesty is the fastest way to prevent a mistake from turning into a failure.”  ~ James Altucher; American hedge fund manager, entrepreneur, best-selling author, venture capitalist, and podcaster.

“Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness.  Thus goodness is attained.  Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest.  Thus honesty is attained.”   ~ Lao Tzu.

 

What does honesty mean…??  Can there be honesty–that is, clear insight, seeing things as they are–if there is a principle, an ideal, an ennobled formula…??   Can one be direct if there is confusion…??  Can there be beauty if there is the standard of what is beautiful or upright…??  When there is this division between what is and what should be, can there be honesty, or only an edifying and respectable dishonesty…?? 

Quite often being truly honest with people, and even with yourself, is the enemy of a lazy and mediocre ego; that is why most people tend to live their lives based not upon true honesty, either with themselves or others–i.e., they smoke while always telling themselves they will quit, they eat anything they want while lying about eating healthier, they keep secrets in their relationships, etc.

ths

Being truly honest is the road less traveled then, but it is the road to peace and self-love within yourself; because this process of honesty with yourself and with others brings right thoughts which bring inner strength to be truly unique, and it attracts more people like you via more positive energy, it empowers you in your own life.

To be honest means to have no illusions and confusions between the reality that is and what our ego/our crooked desire wants.  To get ahead in life, people’s ego makes them feel like they have to deceive and even design “small” lies; however, this is cowardice and a loss of purpose, because to be truly intelligent is to be driven by truth and a determinant focus on your daily goals, and to have these traits you have to embrace truth, if you embrace truth your whole human experience changes and there is no room for lies or “small” deceptions.

And to be honest and truthful in a society which is crooked and twists all truth to its whim, is rather difficult and rare; but it is the sign that we are ready to take on bigger challenges in life, because life is wisdom and is always testing us to remain firm and truthful in adversity.

Being honest and truthful to yourself and to others will always attract the right opportunities into your life, if you are patient and determinate enough to reach your daily goals.

Connect.

“Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say.  It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.” ~ Charles R. Swindoll; evangelical Christian pastor, author, educator, and radio preacher.

 

When dealing with people it is wise to remind ourselves that we all have different experiences, upbringings, likes and dislikes that have shaped our minds and behaviors; therefore, we must all accept each other in order to tolerate and further connect with each other.

tha
There is no more ignorance from an oversized ego than to judge people ahead of time, without knowing their reasons and without knowing their full intentions through their behaviors; otherwise, you will miss the opportunity to develop yourself as a more compassionate and understanding human being and to, perhaps, connect with that person at a deeper level.

Most ignorant people tend to judge people specially based on looks, they do not stop their thought and try to understand the psychological experiences that person might have had to live through to adopt the way he or she looks.

Tattoos, esthetic surgeries, body piercings, excessive body fat, the way one dresses, etc.–these might have a past, some right or wrong reason, some psychological origin; however, that should not be judged, because if one spends the time judging and pointing fingers, then there is no time and desire for your mind to expand in understanding and for your heart to love without an interference from some ridiculous ego.

Oasis.

“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.”  ~ John F. Kennedy; United States President.

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”  ~ Hippocrates; ancient Greek physician.

“It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has.”  ~ Hippocrates; ancient Greek physician.

 

Sicknesses and all illnesses, whether carried in genetic material or adopted into the system somehow, are not natural but they are products of a lifestyle chosen by us or by our ancestors.
Whatever is our humanity, whatever is chained to time and space, is bound to all that is negative and harmful to the same system; therefore, this may be called ‘Lucifer’ or ‘Satan,’ and until you accept it you will live in fear and will attract all sorts of triggers for illnesses (mental and physical).   This is the unchangeable duality of this world.  Don’t fight it, accept it.

But we also have our divinity, the godly energy that we are; and this divinity, this godly energy is altered or embraced by the human mind. As the Buddha says, “What you think, you become.”

The powerful energy of your thoughts then, negative or positive, will have effects on how you feel and on the illnesses you yourself trigger.
In the case of genetics, the stimulus or illness might be there, but it is the lifestyle you have chosen–i.e., the foods you eat, the places you frequent, the people which surround you, the thoughts you choose to entertain daily, etc. etc.–the one which triggers this illnesses.

The wise ones take care of their bodies and avoid triggers.
The fools (most of the population) attract the triggers and then complain like little kids.
Which one are you…??

 

The human body in its natural state, as it is intended by Creation itself, is the most perfect machine with the most amazing physiological systems; therefore, it is the direct expression of God, of the cosmos, or of Creation–i.e., the immaterial Universe experiences the wealth of physical life through it.

22406056_732852346905535_2161861777108393524_n

And because of this, each one of us holds a major responsibility towards our own bodies, towards the only temple that must be honored and praised.

I thought very appropriate to list some of the things to keep our own machine healthy and ready to experience the wealth this life offers.

Top seven “fuels” that feed the cancer “fire” and mutate more cells:

1. Fluoridated municipal tap water.
2. Genetically modified food (laced with pro-cancer herbicides).
3. Artificial sweeteners, namely aspartame, sucralose and sorbitol.
4. Vaccines and the yearly flu shot, often contain mercury, aluminum, formaldehyde and MSG.
5. Pharmaceutical medications.
6. OTC (over-the-counter) medications for colds, allergies, headaches and fever – often contain heavy metal toxins, artificial sweeteners and toxic industrial-based food dyes.
7. Chemotherapy and radiation.

The top 2 and the most important ones you have power every day to change in your life, for all of you who do not care about what you put into your temples daily:  2 and 3– Foods and beverages.
#1 is important but not everybody can change that in their individual lives.

Inner Power.

The silhouette of a warrior woman with storm clouds in the background.

“Each Warrior wants to leave the mark of his will, his signature, on important acts he touches.  This is not the voice of ego but of the human spirit, rising up and declaring that it has something to contribute to the solution of the hardest problems, no matter how vexing!”  ~ Pat Riley; American professional basketball executive, and a former coach and player in the NBA.

“The two worst strategic mistakes to make are acting prematurely and letting an opportunity slip; to avoid this, the warrior treats each situation as if it were unique and never resorts to formulae, recipes or other people’s opinions.”  ~ Paulo Coelho; Brazilian lyricist and novelist.

 

In this life we are all warriors, we are here to navigate through challenges and learn from them with wisdom and meditation, and by mastering our minds and bodies we sure conquer all obstacles in our path; but, however, there are the ones who accept this role and the ones who do not, and the difference is the inner strength you summon to affront life’s challenges and the strategy with which you do.

instagram-quotes-new-warrior-lion

 

The warrior summons this inner strength by being truly unique and by not following others, and this is why most people in the world do not accept their role as warriors, but they think they are just on earth to exist and get by until death comes.  This is a waste of life, for life is rich with wisdom and experience, and human beings are here to realize what they really are and wake up from all forms of man-made nonsense–i.e., all ignorant thought-created chains like religions, politics, and so on and so forth.

 

Remember then that life is not just to exist and go with the flow of time, but life must be your most precious gift that you should analyze and appreciate, put attention and battle when you must as a warrior. 

Don’t let other people and even circumstances infiltrate your mind and deter you from accomplishing something great.

Take care of your mind and body. Be always yourself and be ready to face challenges without fear, knowing that challenges are a part of life just like fats are a part of any food–the difference is how you eat and what you eat, and with challenges is how you take on challenges and what challenges you take on.
