Too many preoccupations and frustrations, too much anger and feelings of hurt; therefore, a great weight keeping people down and unable to be free of burden.
And in order to do with bliss and positive attitude, one must be free of burden. This is a must, there is no other way around it but to get rid of all baggage–whether it be friendships, family ties, past memories, and whatever keeps you in psychological and emotional chains.
“Fly freely“
What lies out of anger and sorrow…?? Have you ever tried to find out?? There is no death more than this, Trapped in one’s heated world, Obsessed by one’s disappeared bliss.
Who is the conscious man…?? The fool reasons in the storm, Like the pig wallows in its mud; But conscience is not in the storm, Because the fool remains mad.
Gods admire the bird’s passion When it flies through the blue skies, The one the fool lost in his sickness Because he banished his own wings– Is it worth, I ask, to live in bitterness…??
When one’s thought is calmed, There is no anger and sorrow; As there appears wings to fly free, As harmony appeases the storm, There the mind with angels be.
Do you know in your life what truly does not serve you…?? Are you honestly working on transforming it…??
As Prometheus came down and brought humanity fire from the gods, we all have it in us to forge ourselves and transform our lives, in order to transmute darkness into light, weakness into strength, and self-doubt into confidence.
But you must take the time and look within, stop seeking and wallowing in your situations; for if you give attention to what is outside you give fuel to the same, but if you focus on transforming yourself from within then you are fueling your inner experience to create a better experience in your outside.
Everyone’s worried about their lives, but no one seeks the origin of the same. When a building has structural problems, the builder or engineer must look at the foundations, the inner walls, and to whatever originates everything. And so must be with life itself, and the foundation of life is what you cannot see, which lies inside you.
Success, love, bliss, harmony can be reached, reconciled in your daily affairs; but you must go to the foundations and strengthen there, otherwise you are just patching the outer walls instead of reinforcing the base of it all.
The heavier and longer the hardship, or the challenging and enduring the suffering, the more strength and wisdom that can be absorbed and learned from it, in my own experience; however, one must remain faithful and positive, or at least have some awareness to see your situations through.
Why do you think one has to suffer, or go through losses, or fall into depressing times or challenges in life…?? We all go through it, rich and poor, educated and uneducated, man and woman, young and old; and it all comes to us for a reason, it all fits a design, which your mind does not have to understand really, you just have to be humble enough to accept what is and learn from it.
Whether you think you deserve it or not, accept what is happening right now; and accept that you have much to learn still, even though all the knowledge you have and your past experiences. Fools ask themselves “Why??” in the very rain and thunder of the storm, but the intelligent ones know to resist the storm and observe it in order to remember what we lived and so learn from it.
Life is truly the greatest teacher, not Jesus, not Buddha, not any other man or deity you worship or to whom you pray; but life is divine, which means that life, YOUR life, is highly conscious, it knows you and it forges you to be a better human being. The thing is, that life cannot force you to learn from the challenges and hardships it gives you; but that is up to you, either to choose depression and ego, or to choose resilience and wisdom.
Not easy for anyone, but 100% worth it; because each one of us has greatness inside, to build a great destiny or fate or future, or however you want to call it. But the direction you take is measured by your response to the challenges you live, and the decisions you make in your mind are everything.
Future love, future happiness, future freedom–these do not exist more than just imaginations and machinations of your ego. “I will be thankful when I have this.” “I am so close to being happy.” “A little more work and I’ll achieve my goal.” These and more are false manifestation of our ego.
Life is now and it is to enjoy now, not to suffer for what you do not have or have lost and want to recuperate. Accept your life as it is now, whether your ego labels it pleasant or unpleasant; and enjoy what you have now, do not follow dreams and neither fall into memories of past losses.
If you do not accept your life as it is now, then you will suffer more anxiety and live on psychological suffering, which will manifest on physical suffering as illnesses. There are people in the world who are homeless and have less than you; but they still live happily in the moment day by day. There are people in the world who have lost more than you and have suffered much more than you; but they, nevertheless, do not allow depression to bring them down.
Now, this is wisdom; to celebrate your life each day, each moment, because life is now. So, whatever you lost, you lost. Whatever is gone, is gone. And whatever will be, will be. Learn to wisely live with it.
But, do you know what is under your control…?? Do you know what builds your experience of love and happiness…?? The wisdom is Now, the happiness is Now, the choices are Now; so, however you choose to live your life, remind yourself that there is only Now.
So, you must find the joy, the good side of things now, whatever you experience seek in there something good; for there is ALWAYS something, for he is wise who finds the hidden joy in the moment. Find the hidden miracle.
Whatever you are going through right now, whatever you are postponing, whatever you fear or doubt doing, is keeping you enslaved, in a very real sense; and when there is this fear or anxiety, as small and non-threatening as it might be to you, festering inside your psychology then it soon becomes part of you, seeping into your subconscious and into your character as a person.
Many people, due to this psychological process, live in fear and doubt, their behaviors and lifestyles, characters and ways of thinking are ruled by a subconscious fear and also a value lacking in them; however, they do not think so because, like mentioned, it acts in them subconsciously, like a mental program, so for them is really normal to think, react, and behave the way they do.
Life is to be lived free of any fear, free of any confusion or doubt which can cripple you even a little; for life should be to you like a clear, smooth, rich and large body of water, where there is no fear to drown or to be victim of anyone or anything disturbing you.
Your life and the activities you take on must feel clear and purposeful to you, with no grudges or animosity with anyone or anything, and without you having to look over your shoulder or worrying about what is going to happen next. It is indeed possible to actually live a life without fears and anxieties.
So, do not live your life ran by a subconscious mental programming, but take matters into your own hands. Clear your mind from fear and anxiety. This decision you make is one which is not only going to change you and free you to become a happier individual, but it also educates others through your very example in the way life should be lived.
After saying certain prayers and observing certain fast days, a Polish Jew made the figure of a man from clay, and when he pronounced the miraculous “Shemhamphoras” (“the name of God”) over it, the clay figure came to life. He couldn’t speak, but he understood well what was said or commanded to him.
This was The Golem, and his new master used him as a servant to do all sorts of chores. On his forehead, he wrote “emeth” (“truth”). Every day, this Golem regained weight, incredible muscle mass with strength and rapid stature or height; and this happened as a result of all the food and drink his master gave him.
The Golem was then becoming far bigger and stronger than any other human, and obviously towering over his own master. For fear of him growing so big and strong one of the letters should be erased, so that the first letter is erased and we are left with “meth” (“he is dead”); whereupon he collapses and turns to dust or clay again.
But this Polish Jew hadn’t done this because he had grown fond or used to his Golem, and now the creature was too tall and strong to reach his forehead and erase the first letter. So, in terror he ordered his servant Golem to take off his boots, thinking that when he bent down he could reach his forehead and erase the letter.
And indeed he did just that, he successfully erased the letter leaving just “meth”; however, the whole heap of clay fell on the Jew as the creature melted and crushed him.
He had gotten used to his Golem, even grown fond of the creature, and so it happened that he crushed him. Has he crushed you yet…?? Has he brought you health problems yet…?? Has he altered your moods and ways of thinking yet…?? Stress, frustrations, anger, beliefs and expectations are your Golem, are they not??
All this intellectual process of overthinking and creating more problems, worries and expectations, always wanting to be in control–all this brings down your immune system, affects your nervous system, and it distorts the way you think and even feel. Can you even see reality with your mind so clouded and darkened…??
Quite often, this Golem is left in your mind, nay, in your whole being, just growing taller and stronger, heavier and more intense, just to wreak havoc and poison you without your awareness. Then, one day, you realize you are depressed and unhappy, and you feel a failure and emotionally reactive to anything which you experience.
So perhaps you should see the Golem you carry before this happens and you get crushed.
“There are people in a cave who have been chained and are unable to turn to any other direction except for the wall they are facing. Because of the chains they cannot see anyone besides themselves, nor can they see the cave’s exit; such exit which is directly behind their backs. The only source of light in the cave is a campfire. Beyond the chained people and this fire there is a cover behind, where there are other people that go about on their own business. They are walking past, carrying stone and wooden statues of men and animals, etc. The chained ones are observing a blank wall and can see, because of the fire, the shadows of themselves and of that which is happening behind them–i.e., the movements and the shadows from the other side…
As they are walking by, some of the people behind the cover are talking to each other while others are silent. The voices echo in the cave while the shadows dance on the wall; so this activity makes it appear to the chained ones as if the shadows are real and talking. Those in chains have no other things to do except for talking about the shadows they see and hear, judge the shadows, gossip and invent stories about these same shadows, and even add their own ideas for the origin of these shadows. So they try to guess which shadows shall pass next and in what order, and in ignorance they even invent all kinds of beliefs about the shadows. Those that are the best at guessing and inventing are granted with honors, praised for their fantastical stories, and get more acclaim than the others.” ~ Plato, allegory of the cave.”
So, what does this tell you…?? It is your reason, your conscience chained in a cave still…?? Are you trapped by your own opinions, conspiratorial philosophies, dogmatic beliefs, cultural superstitions, ignorant ideas of the world and of what truth really is…?? Or do you dare exit the cave in which you live to explore the outside knowledge and free yourself…??
The truth is out of this cave. Exiting the cave means the soul’s rising into a world of ideas and facts, truth and higher conscience. One can accomplish this by learning with reason and a mind clear of delusions. And you must be your own teacher for this, explore alone, have your own curiosity guide you; do not ask others, do not follow others, but seek and find yourself.
Some of us will remain in the cave with fear of exploring and learning new things outside which can make us feel uncomfortable in our egotism. Some of us will break the chains and explore out there, but when the sunlight of truth hits us we will run back inside the cave, back to our ignorance and comfortable beliefs and ideas with the rest of the slaves.
But the superior amongst us will grab that strong desire for moral and ethical growth, smash the chains, and INDIVIDUALLY run outside to learn all the factual knowledge and expand our minds, so enlightening ourselves until our last breath on this earth; because we realize that life is a chance to free ourselves, create our life, and walk ALONE into enlightenment.
We are not satisfied with the gossip and stories about the passing shadows told by other chained people inside the cave, so we decide to live that cozy imprisonment to seek the truth and stand up for the superior human creature within us (for The Higher Self within). And we do not do it to follow other groups in the search for truth and knowledge, but we do it, each one of us, INDIVIDUALLY, to explore the ability in us to perceive and think differently–i.e., a revolution of the mind.
Now, reason and conscience, the main sources of spiritual awakening and all godliness (human moral and ethics), seem to be obsolete in most people. Angels, demons, possessions, curses, the wait for blessings from somewhere outside themselves, etc.–these toxins and others infest the minds of people, due to their vain and irrational egos filled by religions and societies and the influence of them.
And you do not even have to belong to a religion specifically to be infested by this, because it floats in the air like nuclear fallout–i.e., it is in books, it is online, it is passed on through family traditions and lifestyles, it is present in truly uneducated minds (minds who do not seek truth but to fill their desires of fantasy), it is on TV shows and movies, etc. etc. No one thus actually respects the journey into awakening, but it all becomes a game between good and evil for these asleep people.
It is easy to blame something outside yourself, isn’t it…?? Then whatever happens, you distance yourself from it and you can escape responsibility. But it is also foolish, stupid, irrational, because by running away from responsibility you are making it worse upon yourself to become conscious, awakened, and thus to grow as a person, morally, ethically, and in connection to your soul or to your Higher Self.
Life can be a roller coaster if you create gods and demons outside yourself, and the suffering you design because of this distance. To live the best life, to make the best choices, you must embrace responsibility and step up, own whatever happens in your life, leave old traditions and personal beliefs aside. Use reason and conscience, expand your mind and see that you are good and evil, god and devil, your greatest accomplishment and your most extreme failure.
Own yourself and realize your own mind’s activity.
What is conscience…?? What is understanding…?? Is understanding the philosophical comprehension of tolerance but then becoming intolerant in your everyday life with the people around you…?? Is understanding to have intellectual knowledge of love but then argue and become stubborn with others…?? Is TRUE understanding the freedom of the soul or conscience….??
What is to be god-like if not to possess great understanding…?? The divinity of things, of existence itself is in a deep understanding of nature and of the great things in life; however, this deep understanding is not based on memory, not based on knowledge–i.e., the past. Knowledge is intellect you have acquired from the past, and intellect does not give you understanding to actually change your life. How many people have great knowledge of divinity, love, myths, The Bible, The Kybalion, The Koran, the human mind, etc., and how many people actually are enlightened or awakened because of this….??
Knowledge, as important as it is, is of the mind, of the ego; but it does not change the behaviors of people, unless they apply this knowledge in their everyday behaviors. Behaviors rich in higher principles, rich in morals and ethics; and this, exactly this, frees the soul, creates a superior human being. Better, authentic behaviors are one with our soul, because to embody the soul and to free it from our vain egos and intellectual pursuits is to have greater understanding.
So, the excellence of the soul is this, to become us in the flesh through higher principles in our daily behavior, morals and ethics; opposite to this, to have great knowledge and speak it, to vainly read all day and then gloat about it, is indeed to remain asleep.
To behave in a way that the soul can free itself is to liberate our conscience from the tyranny of the ego.
—The end time (also called end times, end of time, end of days, last days, final days, or eschaton) is a future time-period described variously in the eschatologies of several world religions (both Abrahamic and non-Abrahamic), which teach that world events will reach a final climax.–
Our Age– Kali Yuga: The final age lasts only one tenth of the cycle, however, that is certainly long enough as it is the age of darkness and ignorance. People slide further down the path of dishonesty, with virtue being of little value. Passions become uncontrollable as unrestrained sexual indulgences and manipulations run through society. Liars and hypocrites rise (specially in politics and religion institutions). Important knowledge is lost and scriptures become less and less common. The human diet is now ‘dirty’, and people are not even close to being as powerful as their ancestors in the Satya Yuga (another, prior age). Likewise, the once pristine environment is now polluted. Water and food become scarce, as do family bonds.
Besides all the natural disasters around the world like the melting in the Antarctica and others, The Trump Administration leaving global treaties like environmental peace and animal welfare, the secret usage of extraterrestrial technology (originated from The Roswell Crash) to build weapons and better flying technologies by United States, famine and massive injustice around the world, Religion has been outed and slowly falls from grace…
“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. ” ~ Psalm 127: 3 “But Jesus said: Let the children come to me, and do not forbid them, because of such is the kingdom of heaven.” ~ Matthew 19: 14… And yet, the world remains asleep to the divinity and importance of children…
The abused include mostly boys but also girls, some as young as three years old, with the majority between the ages of 11 and 14.
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color (this being immorality and sin), and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls (this is the wealth and pride of the churches and nations most powerful), having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, ‘Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth’.”
And so, the judgment of The Whore of The World is prophetic in the scriptures. “And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials (these being the seven virtues: 1. ‘Humility’ against pride, 2. ‘Kindness’ against envy, 3. ‘Abstinence’ against gluttony, 4. ‘Chastity’ against lust, 5. ‘Patience’ against anger, 6. ‘Liberality’ against greed, and 7. ‘Diligence’ against sloth), and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore (The Catholic Church and all the little religions birthed from it)that sitteth upon many waters(these waters are the peoples and nations influenced by them)…
With whom the kings of the earth(all politicians and rulers with a thirst for power)have committed fornication (have joined in the building of wealth and of power over the suffering of the world), and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication(people have been dulled and influenced by their lies and ignorant interpretation of God, love, and justice). So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy (the political and religious lies and ignorant interpretations of holy scriptures), having seven heads (this can be interpreted as the seven hills on which Rome was built: 1.Aventine Hill, 2.Caelian Hill, 3. Capitoline Hill. 4. Esquiline Hill, 5.Palatine Hill, 6.Quirinal Hill, 7. Viminal Hill)and ten horns(this represents The Wheel of Destiny, The Age of Kali Yuga, The Karmic 10,000-year age, this age on which we are now)…
And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color(this being immorality and sin), and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls (this is the wealth and pride of the churches and nations most powerful), having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, ‘Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth’.”
This is telling us that at the end of times (a period of time, perhaps this Kali Yuga) the judgment from awakened people, that is of people who can see the wickedness in The Whore of The World), shall destroy it, and so they shall liberate themselves from their blindfolds. And it is also communicating to us that all this pain and wickedness is “pre-destined,” that it has to happen this way; for nothing happens randomly in terms of human evolution or consciousness evolution. Soon consciousness shall be liberated from the tyranny of the religious believers’ ego, and so this is the age for this to manifest; so one must accept, understand, see the lesson of it.
