Divine Behaviors.

Love is not a word.  Truth is not philosophy.  They are higher principles which must be lived if one is to truly be awaken and understand one’s own life and the world.  Principles must penetrate your whole body and become your everyday behavior, your purpose to live daily; but, not just for the sake of the superior human being within you, not just to embrace divinity, but also to guide the lives of others with the example of true awakening.  This is true love.

Principles.

Out of vain drunkards spit words of law,
An elegant but dry philosophy from them;
For no one applies what their lips say,
For no one behaves in such a way.

The sanity has dwindled greatly thus,
And the people has fallen from Grace;
Morals are neglected, utterly denied,
Ethics are banished, not even tried.

The punishment is severe, indeed unjust;
Consciousness has been buried long ago.
Does anybody rules himself on principles….??
Do you know the substance of miracles…??

Once the truth is upon a mind which sees,
It cannot just be verbalized and forgotten;
For love and truth are actions you live,
As every day you feel your heart beat.

Anatomy and physiology of life Business mind. Stories to ponder. The free mind of a human god!

All “God” really is…

Societies have distorted reality and truth of what is, of that cosmic force which gives birth to all life, to all experience; for humanity has given names, thoughts and feelings, expectations and qualities to divinity.  All that humanity knows and understands–the ego-mind, the compulsive feelings and ways to hate and love, the rational and irrational behaviors, etc–has been projected onto something which in reality is pure silence and energy; and as a result of this abomination we have God in many religions, each one of them with their own qualities and different ways of existence.

This gods expect things from you like to follow beliefs and dogmas, need things from you like worship and obedience, and threaten you with hell and various creative forms of torture.  Divine bullying anyone…??

But what if God is just “godliness”, divinity, harmony, morals and ethics in the human creature which exist deep in all of us…??  What if this divinity does not require you to fill your mind with beliefs, rules from religions, rituals of specific worship, and prayers directed to saints created by man…??After all, all love and happiness resides within you, deep inside, which you can access without help from any outside form.

Because divinity is just that, just the development of great MORALS AND ETHICS; for morals and ethics when applied to your life give you wisdom to create your individual path in life, intelligence to make better choices, mental health and harmony to understand yourself and others, and the love to accept the world with its flaws and ignorance without you being absorbed by it.

 

All God, or divinity, really is then, is a set of virtues that you must develop from within you every day; and so, the word “develop” here means “APPLY,” for without applying this, God, or divinity, does not exist and you are lost as a human being.

Apply yourself.

b1b7803e1ce67de6c048ae500a63fb6f--laos-spiritual-awakening

It is truly important to understand that humanity is asleep, lives asleep, works asleep, forms families and grows old asleep, and finally dies asleep.  Living just like under a magic spell, it sounds funny but it is actually true; because they have created religions, different views of love, political divides and hatred, and each person or group has their own view of morality and of that which is divine–i.e., if people really consider anything in life to be divine, IN ACTUAL APPLICATION, not in philosophy and empty words.  And why are they asleep…??

One word: “FASCINATION.”  Fascination which becomes obsession and ignorance in their unruly minds without them knowing it.  People live fascinated and absorbed by the world, its attractions, and by their own selfish desires–which most of the time are not considered selfish by their egos:

The petty drunkard (including all kinds of drugs) lives fascinated by alcohol, women, parties, and all carnal and psychological pleasures.  The average woman lives fascinated by her own reflection in the mirror, and so she lives her life shopping and thinking about beautifying herself more in sheer vanity, while her mind suffers her neglect and remains empty her whole life.  The plain worker is honest and faithful, but blindly fascinated by his/her job and his/her family.  The religious person remains fascinated by his own beliefs, scriptures, rituals, and teachers.

Everybody lives in their own little world.  Everybody focuses on what is outside of them, like a little child in front of blinding lights they cannot deviate their attention from it.  Meanwhile, the consciousness, the true ticket to love, happiness, to divinity and understanding remains trapped behind their tyrannous ego full of themselves and their own beliefs and selfish views–all due to the fascination with the mundane world.

 

There must be a RADICAL revolution in the mind of each person in order to stop all this fascination and study the self.  A radical revolution is not just knowledge but the APPLICATION of this factual knowledge, as most people deceive themselves by thinking that knowing what is good makes them good; thus, a fool remains asleep by not applying the knowledge he acquires. 

And that is what you must do if you truly desire to awaken from this sleep:  Teach yourself.  Apply your knowledge.  Seek and empower yourself by becoming your knowledge.  Otherwise you cannot claim to be awaken.

Brighten your thinking.

The aim of any true philosophical endeavor or intellectual pursuit must be the birth of reason and conscience in one’s mind, one must seek to resolve and harmonize one’s situation instead of overthinking and obsessing with it.  It seems alluring as a conditioned program to stay with the same thoughts over and over again, fixed on a past memory, reliving a situation, making oneself a victim and wallowing in the painful problem like pigs wallow in filth; however, this intellect creates its own hell out of pure egotism, it actually distances itself from reason and truth.

Why…??  Because the brain gets poisoned by this obsessive thinking, the nerves fry in time, our whole body weakens and we invite more suffering because of this.  The mind, anguished by the suffering brain, gets more confused, ego hides reason and truth as it grows, and obsession and overthinking distorts reality in our life.  This is not guiding you to light and to a solution, but this is just blinding you more and more as your mind gets anxious and frustrated with the problem or challenging situation.

The brain needs to be free from obsessing and trying to fix everything, allow time to breathe and focus on something else.  Rest your brain activity.  Thus the mind must become emptied of anxiety and stress, because to see reason and truth, to find solutions and guidance one must keep one’s mind in harmony and allow negative and dark vibrations to leave your awareness.  Filled with positive energy then, peace and order shall reach your mind and let some clarity to brighten your thinking.

Laws of Nature.

image004

What governs Nature…??  Everything and anything in existence works under higher principles or Universal Laws, and all that which happens does so for a reason.  NOTHING is random: 

If you are annoyed by your current life situation, if you fall into depression, if you survive an accident, if you find joy in a relationship, if you have inherited a fatal disease, if you lose someone you love, if the people in a nation or community suffer, if the people in a nation or community prosper, etc.–all this has meaning, but you can see the meaning ONLY if you have “Awakening.”

Why…??  Because Awakening is a liberation of consciousness from the stubborn intellectual mind/ego, such intellectual mind/ego which gets quickly annoyed by situations it does not like; so, what does it do then??, it closes itself to reality and out of suffering it creates stubbornly its own false reality.

A fake reality where consciousness remains asleep or trapped, so the ego creates a escape from what happened–specially when it comes to painful situations or happenings.  So The Laws of Nature, or of God, do not work for the limited understanding of the ego; only an expanded mind with a free consciousness can understand painful situations and find the meaning in them.

Knowledge of The Laws of Nature require that you step away from your intellect and stop your ego from making you feel like a victim; and ONLY then consciousness can be free, and ONLY then you can breathe and welcome challenges and painful situations in your life.

Thus, everything that goes on in your life must be taken with peace of mind and not with condemnation or in anger; for the one entity that remains always blind to The Laws of Nature is your ego, and the suffering and the hatred for any situation you experience comes from your ego–i.e., ego which enslaves the greater understanding of your trapped consciousness.

Your very own Issues…

Many people dread and even find great distress and desperation in their own negative or dark thoughts and reactions.  Many people allow themselves to be consumed by the ideas they have of themselves, perhaps ideas and visions of the flaws and weaknesses they carry around.  This is the master illusion, that by “illusion” I do not mean “not real to you”; for whatever you believe and allow to obsess you becomes real to you, but ONLY it is real if you keep feeding it your belief through your constant thoughts of fear and preoccupation.

Carrying this with you all the time gets to be a burden and it becomes your identity, so you become a slave to your own flaws and weaknesses–i.e., to your dark illusion and the ego you constantly feed.  Maybe this victimization brings more fear to you and more weakness to you, and so you deplete yourself of positive ideas and better views of yourself and of your situations; and so, this is certainly not conducive to a stronger and more valued you, and slowly you fall into depression and moodiness.

If you are contented one moment, then sad the next, then angry, then joyous, then irritable, you are suffering from moodiness, or changeable moods–could be Bipolar Disorder, Chronic Anxiety, etc.  And all this, whether officially diagnosed or not, stems from lack of control of your own mind’s content, which we know as ego; therefore, what creates all issues and problems of mind, exacerbated by genetics and traumas and whatnot, is your own ego and its many aggregates.  The way you deal with your own ego and its aggregates is the way you will feel and experience your life.

But you cannot wash your hands like Pontius Pilate, and so take medicine and ignore your own mind, you must change your mental programming and fix your own issues, gain control of your own mind by inward attention and daily practice–i.e., you must create your health yourself, self-transformation.

The Sprouting Seed.

Some of us experience, at some point in our lives, a strong “calling or deep desire” to fulfill ourselves beyond the mere urges or wants of the physical kind; and in a way we may wonder at our own feelings trapped behind nagging spiritual or divine questions and dilemmas, or perhaps we become just tired in our own lives’ monotony.  A spiritual inquietude, or spiritual restlessness, is an “itch” or a longing, a stimulus within our pure consciousness, something that is deep within our psyche that longs “to know” (gnosis).

This longing to discover and KNOW, if it is indeed a true desire or longing, is driven by a spiritual force in us which seeks freedom; that is, it seeks a freedom that your terrestrial life or lifestyle cannot give it.  Ever felt this…??   Are you going through this right now…??

Our soul is a seed merely, and throughout our lives our soul tries to get out from the oppression of our immorality or morality lack–which is the selfishness of our choices and passions.  All of us feel this urge to express, to emerge, to become; and this urgency is particularly strong when we are in our adolescence and even earlier youth, which is why young people tend to make so many basic mistakes.

This is the urge of the soul-seed wanting to experience freedom, liberation and expansion through higher moral ways via our human structure; but, sadly, most people, specially most young people, ignore the calling by following mere desires of the ego in search for a fulfillment which never comes–they always want more and more because they deviate from the true path of divine fulfillment.  But this happens at all ages; so be aware of it.

This situation is analogous to what we observe in the life of any plant or tree, which in the course of its existence will release or liberate from itself millions of seeds.  Those seeds will be scattered in its environment in order to propagate the species.  But the vast majority of those seeds, all of which feel that longing to become a great tree, will be lost.

Each of us is a seed:

1) Some fall into barren soil to never grow–i.e., lost by their own desires which never fulfill them they remain always dry and empty souls.

2) Some fall into a soil too moist and muddy–i.e., lost in their millions of opinions, set of rigid beliefs, philosophies of life, and fantastical imaginations; so, they remain always in their own little worlds, with a strong desire and faith but no truth in them.

3) But then there is the sprouting seed that is active and expands itself (divine desire for freedom), it opens and blossoms beautifully because the soil for it (the environment and knowledge sought) is perfect, destined to be–and this soul just grows and grows without end.

See Death for what it really is.

Death is something profoundly significant, a wonderful mystery; and it is by discovering the true meaning and wonder of death that we discover true life–i.e., the secret to bliss in life and the meaning of each moment we are alive (whether moments of joy or of sadness).  But that which we call “death” can ONLY be truly understood and accepted, welcomed and even loved, by a consciousness which is ABSOLUTELY free–i.e., by an awakened consciousness.
This awakened consciousness then is not under the tyranny of the ego, filled with beliefs and traditions, opinions and superstitions around death; hence, the content of the mind has gotten rid of fear and attachment, or transmuted them into pure love and understanding.

Why do people fear death…??  People fear and become violent to what they do not understand.  For example, many times it has happened to me here, and in my life outside here, that I have commented the truth of humanity’s behavior, but people seemingly paying attention to my words, in their vain egos, swallowed and enslaved by their egotism, have become defensive, reactive and event verbally violent.  Thus, in the same sense, people fear death because their minds are not free, their minds being obsessed and attached to their own material pleasures–i.e., attached to environments, to people, to activities, to thinking and feeling, to their own opinions and views (all causes of suffering trapping consciousness).

We all know that when the body ceases function, and so does the brain with its electrical conductivity, we die and later disintegrate in the grave; however, our consciousness (the conscious energy inside our disintegrated atoms) is now free from the mind and its ego, and so it travels or it goes back to the “luminescent origins.”  Thus the soul of the deceased continues to live within the superior dimensions of nature; and this means in fact that the disembodied souls can “see” the Sun, the Moon, the stars, the rivers, the valleys, the mountains, just like we, but in a more splendid manner.

So, you see, one must not fear death but seek to understand it, as one must seek to understand it all which is possible to understand, in order to expand our minds, free our consciousness, and become more confident, blissful, and less ego-driven individuals.

Two Gods in The Quest for Moral Growth.

quote-our-life-is-a-long-and-arduous-quest-after-truth-and-the-soul-requires-inward-restfulness-to-attain-mahatma-gandhi-328413
What the world and religions call “God” has been an invention of man. Of course, there is a force eternal of Creation as we know it, and that is the entity which gives men and women rationality and capacity for understanding and illumination to see truth beyond ego, and most importantly gives humankind morality and the capacity to further develop that morality to be always better human beings. Now, religions, specially The Christian World, has created TWO Gods to answer morality questions, which also show Christianity’s rigid and restrictive rules and views:

1) We have the God of the early Bible (The Old Testament), the God of Abraham and Moises–and this is a wrathful God, a God that brings revenge and terror on whomever does not obey His Laws (i.e., the Flood and Noah’s Ark, Abraham attempting to kill his own son, etc.).

2) The new testament’s God, the God that Jesus preached or taught to the multitudes, is a God of pure love, of great tolerance, of “putting the other cheek” as Jesus himself taught (which is why The Pharisees did not like his teachings as Jesus threatened the old laws of the first God)–and this is then the evolution of a SUPERIOR God, the evolution of the understanding man has about the world and about what God should be…  So, can you see these two Gods man has created out of his evolving understanding of himself and of the world in which he lives…??

Because man created these two Gods, because The Bible and ancient texts are mere attempts to make men more moral by creating stories and myths that bring hope, faith, and awe to his heart and to the people of the entire world…  And so, this takes us to YOUR individual life.  Are you still attached to stories, myths, beliefs, opinions, rigid and irrational philosophies like the first God….??  Or are you open-minded, always ready to learn about everything and anything, not blinded by your own opinion and pleasures, and ONLY seeking vaster knowledge to turn into a higher moral human being…??

There is no worse blindness than the blindness of the man who wishes to remain blind because he believes he has already found the truth.  So, seek rationality and conscience in all you think, feel, and do; and beware, religions and society sometimes will tell you that rationality can be the opposite of faith, that faith is a belief in things not seen and that BLIND FAITH is a requirement for spiritual growth.  Know that they are all trying to deceive you!  Faith can ONLY be manifested when the human creature knows truth, when it has no doubt and confusion; and faith is the CONSTANT search for truth in the rational mind–i.e., a mind given to you for the purpose of spiritual and moral growth.

Creation of God.

In the beginning, some good men, being endowed with higher thinking and rationality, saw that mankind needed guidelines for morality and conduct, because they saw that mankind easily followed animal passions and outbursts of immorality (as it continues today).  So, these good men of rationality started creating stories of superior deities and divinity, such stories which brought awe and respect, faith and a sense of humility into otherwise wild men.
So, as man evolved and its societies around the world did so as well, then came divine writings and myths; from The Sumerians and Egyptians to India and to all of Christianity, these books or writings were known as “Holy” because they indeed transformed the human creature, they brought the sacred unto man–that is, the sacred divinity WITHIN man already.  It guided men and women into ways of morality and love, and that was the purpose of these universal scriptures.

And so, these universal scriptures which took the beast in man and turned it into a better moral creature were called “the stories or messages of God/from God to man.”  God being this sacred entity in man which was reminded to them by these scriptures and the holy messages they carried.  Now, it so happened then that these myths and stories which exulted or sanctified man gained mayor popularity in their cultures and traditions; that is, there was an impact in each country, for all the countries sought some sort of divinity.

And so, man in his ego formed institutions called religions; as they had institutions for material goods all over the world already, and now they had institutions for “spiritual goods” all over the world as well–each religion (institution) adopted its own stories and myths.  But it so happened that as man and society developed, man forgot that these were just stories and myths, and so strict and vain dogmas and rules appeared in religions while making this same man obey them without choice; and religions then became more a dictatorship of the world than a liberation of the spirit inside man.

Now, of course, these stories and myths were written based on something real; for the GREAT creativity of the mind of man does this, it creates based on something it sees and/or experiences in life.  So we can say these scriptures are tremendously important for the higher morality in us, because they bring hope and faith, and belief in the divinity inside us all; however, we must remind ourselves that these are still stories created by man and his imagination, and so we must seek also truth in science and fact–unite the two into one, thus guide your life and fill your body with light…  “The light of the body is the eye; if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.” ~ Matthew 6: 22.
