Free to choose…??

Does the unawakened man who enjoys everything society offers–i.e., meats, travels, luxurious houses and cars, higher positions to make more money, and the rest–has really free choice, or is it just really an illusion of the ego of every man and woman out there…??  The popular lifestyles and material things society puts in front of us, in the nice advertisements, with the talented artists on TV, in the attractive magazines selling dreams of better lives–these are all ways of controlling you without making you aware of it, they appeal to your lazy and corruptible ego, they speak to your already programed subconscious.  All this is politics, foolish games of control on the rabble; because if you follow society you are not healthy and you do not own your thinking and behaving–and now you are easily controllable.
d35ad3acae56d7c8bf6b613455cbda6d
Have you noticed that no ad ever tells you what is healthier for your mind and body–they just put taste in front of you.  The hospital industry does the same to keep you coming back–they do not tell you to stop eating meat, they do not tell you to exercise, they do not tell you to meditate and spend time taking care of your mind.  And people travel all the time as long as they don’t have to face themselves–alone, with their own demons.  Etc.  Until one sees this and more of the falseness in society, makes the right and better choice, leads his health and overall life forward, one remains without free choice because the ego–this thick veil governs him or her, and thus freedom is gone.

Who tells you that you are free to choose…??  Isn’t your mind, your ego, telling you that you are free to choose…??  The ego is this thick veil or screen that is fed by society and the whole world around you, influenced by it, programed by it–so it will tell you whatever keeps the comfort and the status quo unharmed; it will not tell you what is better for you but it will always find excuses of why you should stay without change, stay following your old lifestyle and your own mental conditioning.  Why can’t you see this…??  Or perhaps you see it but you play the fool anyway…??  Are you free then…?? 

You ought to know that only a free mind can actually know the essence of freedom, love, God and peace.  Why…??  Because when your mind’s content is what others tell you, what society gives you, what is not illumination to the very conscience, then you have blocked yourself from the deep and wise understanding; for you are corrupting yourself and living in the dream…  And there is no free choice, there is no freedom in the dream…
37243170_503385616761472_7616290824829009920_n
The illusion of free choice is that your mind is allowed to retain all this influence and impressions from society, your ego accepts this as the norm because most ignorant people out there do it as well without an individual thought of their own, and as a consequence you become prideful, you make choices based on selfishness and hate, and you have no individual conscience–i.e., no wisdom but you follow others and the way they do things. This deceives you into thinking you know love, God, freedom, peace and harmony; but you actually live in your own selfish world blinded by the corrupted content of your own lazy mind.

The voices…

“What if I cannot do it??”  “And what if he/she does not return my feelings??”  “My life is already too difficult and I cannot do more!”  “What if they do not like me??”  “What if they don’t take me seriously??”  “What if I am not good enough??”  “I cannot accomplish my dreams ever.”…  Too many “What if” and “cannot,” don’t you agree…??  So, let us think with clarity stepping out from any fear your mind might have, just for a moment–  Who says “What if” and “cannot”…??  Who brings you down…??  Who gives you these defeating ideas and fears which keep your body paralyzed…??  Is it your mind/your ego/the one who likes to keep the status quo and things as they are…??
37350857_505799143186786_1691795241461350400_n
And we can all agree that sometimes, just a few times, fear may help us get inner strength and maybe also get some good analysis and critique of our situations; nevertheless, you must see that it can also cripple you and make you feel worthless, it can degrade you and tell you lies through overthinking and images of really damaging and speculative imagination.  And imagination is a divine gift but also a curse.”  Think about this for a second.  Realize what it means for yourself.

Your ego does not know the real you, your mind is the content of the world, the content of your experiences, the content of what you have been taught and given by example since childhood; thus, your mind cannot actually see reality, it cannot see you and all you are.  Your mind is in charge to protect you, and that is why it is bound to keep you safe and sound by not allowing you to see all you could be and accomplish if you dare say “I love you” to someone, or “I am a god or goddess” to yourself in all situations, or “I will get this!” to your passionate drive, or “I can overcome all my losses and challenges” to your aching heart or to the ego who produces this pain.

The ego works with imagination, your mind is imagination–imagination to create, to find greater ways to love, to accomplish more.  But imagination which is not controlled or disciplined, but ruled by your ego, is tyranny which enslaves you and keeps you chained to a mental desk; it brings out voices of despair, of sadness, of misery, of hopelessness…  This you must see and discipline your mind so you do not fall onto this trap; because you must recognize between the voices of your ego and the whispers of your Higher Self…

Machine’s cog.

What is it that drives you to wake up every morning and take on your day with a smile…??–is it your job and the promise of a paycheck, or is it your education and the promise of a better job with higher earning in a future, or is it your romantic partner and the affection you feel, or is it your kids…??  Do you feel you are actually awakening a little bit each day…??  Is your life fulfilling for you now…??  Are you rising in love (not “falling in love”) and happy with yourself and with whom you are now…??

cog-free
Society, in all places of the earth, is a machine–a colossal machine with rules and a particular programing, and whoever deviates from this robotic programing is not considered “normal.”  Because in this programing the ordinary man is nothing but a cog in the huge human machine, you must observe others and do as they do, you must fill your mind with the machine’s knowledge and ways of working, you must not deviate and think for yourself, you must not question them and yourself–you must learn love, God, peace, freedom, relationship, personality, morals, from society/from the big machine which allows you to fit in as a poor cog in its popular industry.  The ordinary man and woman is driven by this, this is exciting and fulfilling for them–to be this cog, to follow and be popular as the rest of the cogs, to live under the ruling and mechanical production of this machine. 
And what does the machine produce…??  Why does it make you want to remain a cog under it…??  Is it love, happiness, a better way of life which is unique of your soul, better health, self-discovery, true freedom to be and think for yourself…??  No.  No one can feel truly alive in this situation.  Being alive is being and rising in love with yourself, knowing that your world/your love/your freedom/your absolute happiness is yourself.  So if you are awakening to many things, if you are becoming more connected to your feelings, if you are discovering slowly who you are and what really makes you happy; thus, you are not fitting in as a cog in the machine, just know that you are actually becoming alive, aware of your own ego as a mere cog…  And your path doesn’t end, because to be alive is to find yourself every single day; and that is why you get to live every day a new day, only if you feel alive and away from the monotony, only then you can get out from being a mere cog…

Spiritual roles.

maat

Maat, in ancient Egypt, the personification of truth, justice, order, morality, and the cosmic order.  The daughter of the sun god Re, she was associated with Thoth, god of wisdom.  Maat was also the goddess who personified these concepts, and regulated the stars, seasons, and the actions of mortals and the deities who had brought order from chaos at the moment of creation, thus bringing the union of true love and harmony in the individual.

37305824_504261900007177_268892023908466688_n

Woman is a healer, bringer of harmony, she brings out the best in man without degrading herself into a lower being; she must be patient and blossoming in her heart, to thus be the best and also bring out the best to herself and to any relationship she accepts into her life.  And man is the protector, must have a clear and harmonious mind to higher thought, and so refrain himself from selfish desires and all sorts of corruption of mind and body.  They both, man and woman, help each other and rise in the fruits of love without solely indulging in the superficial affections which tend to bring jealousy, violence, anger, and the rest which separates people and creates an abyss of darkness and disgust in the heart, into any soul sacredness. 
This must be the ideal, and for this the mind must be rid of fear–i.e., where there is fear there is room for a corrupted “love.”  And the problem is that many women are not accessing their higher calling as nurturers and healers, but they are using their bodies solely to attract men and find a quick path to some false security.  While men are stuck in their lowest instincts, trapping women into their false affections, but in time robbing them of their highest calling, deviating them.  Both seem to be at each other’s throats like enemies at some point; when it all starts passionately and with great desire to make the union work,  like children with their new toy that soon become bored and toss the toy aside to never enjoy it anymore.  Why is this…??  Why can’t man and woman really embrace love and become it–true love which never dies…??  Do they know their roles…??  Do they grow together as one….??  Do they work on lifting each other up, or do they compete…?? 
These are serious questions, because relationship is not love, but relationship is human, society, your design; so, if anybody is to build a relationship which works, if man and woman is to unite in harmony, their whole lives, they must know their roles.  Healer and protector, partners who help each other, two human beings which must be one–because lack of affection and all the ugliness may only exist in a relationship if there is competition…  Knowing their roles then creates and keeps the atmosphere of love, so the eternal essence may bathe them both through all the challenges they might encounter…
twin-fllame
If you want to keep the love flowing, alive, burning constantly, deep and mature, make every day an adventure–prioritize adventure. The human mind gets bored and lazy with routines in relationships and in life in general, so bring a challenge to your mind, behave consciously, assume your role as woman or man of deep emotional understanding. This has to become more important than routine, otherwise affection will wither in time.

Possibilities…

Why is it that people feel enslaved to fears, to failures, to things going not as expected…??  Is it because they are betting it all on their expectations, living for their goals and dreams, adding all their energy to a particular achievement…??  Fear is blocking us from living, isn’t it…??  I mean, beyond fear being a challenge to overcome and a necessary tool in the evolutionary kit of mankind, people are not living each moment really with love and happiness; but they are always expecting something better to arrive, something which will get rid of the fear and somehow give them love and happiness, and a certain fulfillment and certainty.
Actwithoutexpectation
And this sickness is an expectation, an egoistical activity which directs all their behaviors, which brings confusion, doubt, all feelings of deeper fear, and that quite often leaves them paralyzed and without self-worth.  Ever wanted to say something to someone, do something, start some project, become something, but you instead allowed thoughts of fear to come into your mind and paint images of what could go wrong or started imagining the worst turn of your story…??  This was your imagination, not your higher conscience or greater intelligence, or some survival mode–i.e., as many of you ignorantly think.
what-if-you-fly

See, following your dreams, your noble passions, setting on your journey of achievement, is experiencing being human, it is indeed discovering yourself and how great you are; however, you must not confuse yourself, whatever your dreams are, whatever your true and noble passions are, whatever you want to experience in the world, is not all you are and it does not limit your expression as a spiritual being.  It is easy to lose yourself on experiences and goals, and it is easy to allow your mind to find your worth in expectations–“my next relationship,” “my new job,” “the next phase of my life,” “my new affections and kindness to friends and family,” “my traveling plans,” “my commitment to this and to that,”  etc. etc.  Putting all your energy and love into this is exactly what, consciously or subconsciously, creates doubt, confusion, fear; because while this, your ego tends to rule and tell you that this is you, that this is what must keep you happy and loving yourself.  But how can it be you if it is a product of your mind/of your ego…?? 
And how is this true love and happiness if it is found in your mind/your ego…??
You  must wake up to this and realize it for yourself, that you must live each moment, that you must put your energy and your heart in each moment and not on a bet or expectation of something in the future…  Live your life knowing that you work each moment so the best unfolds in front of you, because is in the moment where your future and the best things lie…

Awakening of conscience.

Whatever we do not tolerate, or find truly annoying or disruptive in others, is a mirror to ourselves, it speaks to our higher conscience, it tells us that we must adapt, tolerate, or just walk away.  A mirror to ourselves is a reflection of something WE have to change within ourselves, something that we see in others and annoys us (annoys our ego); but, of course, the ego, which is always seeking to blame others and seeking to feel comfortable itself, as a measure of security, conditioning, will tell us that we must not change but that others must change to fit our own lifestyle or own daily living.
37218016_502613273505373_1285578772203962368_n
Your mind, your ego, is the one which finds faults in others, and which feels frustration, and which feels anxiety and all anger, is it not…??  You are in charge of your ego, are you not…??  So, change!  Take responsibility for what you think, for how you feel.  Your mind expands with understanding, and in understanding and accepting others you are understanding and accepting yourself.  Can you see this yourself…??  “We are one” is not just some spiritual or New Age philosophical saying or romantic phrase that’s popular.  Have you ever thought about it in deep…??  I know you have heard about “we are one.”  So what does it mean then…??

How did Osho, or Jesus, or Buddha, or any Enlightened Master talked to a group and yet the message felt as if directed to each individual…??  They only knew themselves, they didn’t know you; and yet they knew you and all of society from all ages.  How…??  With observance of others, with tolerance and appreciation of others’ flaws and strengths, the conscience becomes illumined, the ego is thrown off its throne, you become patient and realize that in others you see your own thoughts, your own feelings, your own soul.  If you truly observe the behavior of others without ego, without the voices in your head which complain and bring anger when something irritates you, you will realize what I am saying here, you will come to a deeper understanding than any intellectual one can give you. 
I am talking about an emotional understanding which is not guided and ruled by your ego.  I am talking about an emotional mirror where you can actually see your own faults and the changes you must make within yourself when you truly observe others.  Your ego fights, argues, gets irritated, blames others, and so it depresses you; and if you step out of your ego then a deeper understanding of yourself will light your conscience–i.e., an awakening of conscience.
higher-self-672x372
Relationship is our human lives.  Relationship is all there is, with ourselves and with others.  Relationship with others is a perfect reflection of the inner relationship we have with ourselves; thus, when you hate or get irritated in relationship with others is because there is something nagging you inside, your own ego disrupting your peace of mind–which you must realize within yourself and change yourself.  This brings you a deep understanding of you and everybody else.  This brings you an awakening of conscience.

The Great Deceit of Your Mind!

37154763_501614523605248_1525378835132973056_n
What is beautiful to you…??  Do you judge things, animals, people, on how they look–on your particular definition of beauty…??  Are you open-minded about beauty, or do you follow the standards of beauty set by your mental conditioning and all of society’s…??  Can you truly be honest with yourself about this…??
In many areas of Tajikistan the unibrow is a sign of extreme beauty; people here believe that the single eyebrow on a girl talks about her chosen destiny and luck.  In South Korea, I heard, plastic surgery is the norm, and clinics advertising in appearance correction hung everywhere; so, one of the finest features of the image of Koreans is believed to be the person with the face in the form of heart.  Residents of some African and New Guinea parts deliberately cover their bodies with numerous scars–in men this procedure is performed during a rite of initiation (a culture thing), and in women it is believed that the scar tattoos add beauty to them…  I am talking about the superficial beauty the eyes see and the ego full of beliefs creates as the norm for people.  Have you noticed that all this is following a belief, either a program since childhood in your mind or a belief in a culture that separates people…??

That is why it is not reasonable to judge people on looks.  It is not reasonable to allow your passions to fall in “love” with looks.  It is not reasonable to fear based on looks.  All is a belief!  And emptying the mind from beliefs and this programming is what one must do to wake up from the dream of “perfect beauty,” and also from the dream of fear.  What about animals–spiders, ants, rats, scorpions, snakes, beetles, etc:  these are labeled by people as disgusting and dangerous because of the belief programed in them also.  It is all their egos, they already have formed their ignorant ideas and labels of them based on fear and on the popular trend in our stupid society.

“All Black people are bad.”  “All immigrants come to take our jobs.”  “All white men have it easy.”  “All skinny girls are conceited.”  “All animals that look ugly are disgusting and dangerous.”  And the prejudice and the stupid beliefs go on and on…  Realize that beauty has been introduced in you as a program, as a belief; hence you are trapped in this selfish creed, and you make divisions–this is good, this is bad, she is beautiful, she is not, etc.  If you meditate, ponder deeply and realize this within yourself, then your mind will expand from its conditioned program and you will discover real beauty beyond what your physical eyes show you.  Do not take this lightly; for the world is what it is because there are beliefs of love and beauty–all created by a program, a conditioning…

Their business…

Some of you still belong to religions, I am sure of this, your minds still attached to these beliefs and dogmas designed by men with a selfish purpose–a purpose which has nothing to do with truth or God.  In their sheer ignorance they believe they are spreading knowledge of truth and God.  But if this is so, tell me, and tell yourself: Why there are so many religions dividing people…??  Why is there not peace in the world yet…??  Why have you still got problems in your life…??  Why is your mind still confused about God, love, peace…??  Why do you still seek answers…??  Why do you still suffer the slavery of your own ego…??  Why can you not ascend mentally yet…??  And the questions keep going forever…
554576_382528088463576_446125333_n

All that religions have done was to take Enlightened men, like Jesus, like Buddha, and put them as the main attraction, as the mere figureheads of their blasphemy; they mock these Enlightened men by using their names on their garbage institutions which do not really teach you to be enlightened like they were–they do not help you see your own ego and wake up from the dream.  Because they live in the dream as well, and if you found a way to see beyond the dream you would rise up and become free; and freedom of thought, self-discovery–that is not good for your religions business.  And you do understand religions are a business, like the business of foods or houses…??  Religions deal with your hopes, dreams, desires to know love and God and truth–they sell you all these, and trust that you are ignorant enough to buy from them.  Are you still buying from them, or have you woken up…??

Because religions are institutions created by the ego of man.  Religions want control over the masses, to grow the institution, to create a legacy, to rule over all activities of man, to amass material wealth through not paying taxes and getting free money and gifts from members/from faithful but ignorant followers.  But God, love, truth, peace–these are not found in the ego of man, no institution can actually give you these; hence religions cannot either.  These can only be discovered in man’s soul, by himself, through aloneness, through meditation, through self-discovery and self-knowledge…

The eagle who didn’t know itself.

eagle-nest_wide-ecd6e8ba7de93a922a4da3166eb068ebdae02ec3-s1100-c15

“In a forest an eagle lived on a tree, and it had built a nest wherein to lay its eggs; there the eagle would hatch its eggs all throughout the day.  Under the same tree there lived a hen, and this particular hen had also laid eggs during the same period when the eagle had laid its own eggs.  One day, while the eagle had gone for hunting, a bear climbed up the tree to eat the eagle’s eggs.  The bear had finished three of the eggs soon, when the fourth one slipped off its hands and fell into the hen’s nest; on returning, the eagle could not find her eggs, and so feeling terribly upset she decided to leave the place.

The hen which lived under the tree saw the eagle’s egg by the side of her eggs, so she felt pity on the eagle’s egg and decided to hatch it as well.  After a few days, the hen’s chicks hatched.  The eagle’s chick hatched, too.  And the hen would feed all the chicks, including the eagle’s chick, as if it were her own.  Soon the chicks began to grow.  The young chicks would listen to their mother’s sounds and try to imitate her.  The eagle’s chick also picked up the hen’s sounds, because that is all it heard.
The chicks would all play together and make lots of noise.  Within no time, the hen’s chicks, as well as the eagle’s chick, grew up to their full size.  The eagle’s chick never realized that it was an eagle and not a hen; so, considering itself a hen, the eagle would eat hen’s food, would walk and run like other hens and would make sounds like hens.  The eagle never learnt to fly like other eagles and lived its whole life like a hen only.”

Your parents were probably loving and did their best, like mine did also; however, this is not enough to illumine your conscience and wake up from the veil cast by society, specially as an adult who needs this illumination and wisdom in his/her own life.  As the little eagle growing up as a hen in the above-mentioned story, you might be still surrounded by people who are weaker of mind and ignorant of the deceit of their own egos, and you must see this yourself; for you probably feel sometimes confused, overwhelmed, lacking confidence, mentally weak to do something because this is your environment, your mental program, and the people with whom you interact daily.

a4fb1b55e92656420979839f0eb1cc8e--individual-rights-jiddu-krishnamurti
Growing up and experiencing this is surely painful if you believe it, if you believe you are the hen instead of the mighty eagle; so, as an adult it is extremely important that you choose your situations and the people to whom you give your time and your energy.  Because, after all, your mind will absorb the influence of your environment and of the people around you–their moods, their characters, their ideas, their intentions.  This energy will affect you, whether you want it or not.  So, choose carefully…

Incorruptible!

What is character…??  Is it only showing goodness to people, going out and doing charity work, giving blessings to everybody, showing that you care and that you are a saint…??  Is character something of your ego, something which may change at any given time–i.e., “I change my character with certain people,” “I love you but not them,” “I act this way now but tomorrow my character will change”…??

37107878_500681253698575_7828254427323564032_n
No, character is not something which depends on your environment or on the people around you, thus your character must not be corrupted by your emotional moods; so think of your character as something divine, unchangeable, because it really is–opposite to what most ignorant people think it is.

For example, you carry truth and you guide yourself by truth, thus you do not gossip, you do not blame and attack others.  But let’s say one day your friends are gathered doing just this, being obnoxious; and so they call you to be with them.  You do not start gossiping with them just because you want them to like you, but you embrace your divine character, the truth which guides your conscience.  You are your true self alone, with them, and with everybody.

integrity

And where does true character start strengthening itself and growing…??  It grows within you, when you are alone, stressed, moody, pressured by your life’s problems.  If you can build and strengthen character by yourself, alone, in your own mind, then, in all situations, you can be a light unto others and you will also remain true to your higher self.  Character is loving truth, loving yourself–not your ego, but the being underneath it.  Divine character is not a display of kind words and gentle activities with others, but it is how you carry yourself with yourself–i.e., how loving you are with yourself in self-talk, how truthful you are with yourself with matters of health and all morality, how understanding you are in life’s difficult situations, etc. etc…  A divine character is a strong character which will not bend or be corrupted by anything at all.  Can you understand this and put it into practice…??

integrity-1
