Out of the cave: Revolution of The Mind.

“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.

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.

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.

The search for Knowledge.

To know oneself, at the deepest level, is simultaneously to know God or that Divine Force of Constant Creation; and this is the secret of gnosis (sacred knowledge/moral knowledge).  A wise gnostic teacher, Monoimus, says:  “Abandon the search for God and the creation and other matters of a similar sort.  Look for Him by taking yourself as the starting point.  Learn what it is within you which makes everything its own and says,  “My God, my mind, my thought, my soul, my body.”  Learn the sources of sorrow, joy, love, hate.  If you carefully investigate these matters you will find Him in yourself.”

So what is to find Him within yourself…??  And how do you actually do this…??

He is whatever expands your mind into pure love and harmony.  He is whatever divine process unites your intellect with your emotional body; because in this there is balance, in you, as a human creature destined to find your true self.  So to find Him within yourself is to find YOU without outer distractions and influences–without religions, without politics, without others manipulating you, without collective activities, etc. 

But how…??  Through a never-ending search for knowledge.  Expanding your mind in terms of your physiology, your psychology, your behavior as human, the history of the ancient cultures and peoples, anything which can help you, by actual application of these teachings by you, to be better in moral and ethics towards you and towards others.   The world is rich with books and knowledge, so develop your mind with it.

The search for knowledge must be your purpose, because knowledge expands your mind, because knowledge gives you the capacity to learn about the world around you, and because knowledge inspires you to be more in touch with reality towards a global conscience. 

A mind that is filled with rich and inspiring knowledge, factual and universal knowledge, is a mind that is confident, strong, poised, harmonious, moral and ethical; but, opposite to it, a mind that is stubborn, fixed in its strict beliefs and opinions, and empty when it comes to universal understanding, is a mind that is fearful, doubtful, attached and obsessed, and doomed to slavery within its own programming–i.e., not free.

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.

It is your own mind.

Whatever your mind tells you will drive your actions, and with your actions or behaviors you will either create your life or destroy your life.  This process, obviously, dictates the pleasant or unpleasant journey you have, and it shapes the interactions with those surrounding you; thus, this will create in you either self-love or a large and powerful ego which will rule you.  And the difference is in what you feed your own mind.

Your mind is like a baby absorbing everything he experiences, and if you neglect or give the wrong education to this baby, then he will grow up to be unhappy and unsuccessful in his own life; he will adopt rebellious and even criminal thoughts, and even end up self-destructing and leading others to a dark abyss of the same unhappiness.

In order to give attention and love to that baby, you must spend time with that growing baby, acknowledge the potential for greatness in that baby, feel yourself proud of the education you give that baby.  The mind grows stronger and wiser if you spend quality time with it, not just reacting to your environment and outside situations but being there, studying your thoughts, analyzing yourself and your emotions towards whatever happens.

Embrace the silence within yourself and stop looking for ways to fill that silence.  Watch the inner reactions, self-talks, behaviors you have with yourself, and also watch the interaction with others; and in this manner you will rule and design your life with much love and prosperity.  And isn’t that the whole point of life…??

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.
