Ways of The Light…

What is it that moves man beyond his intellectual education and given environment into greater heights of achievement…??  What is the difference between people who do and people who do not do, or between people who fight and people who give up…??  What is the way of life, or the wholly blissful experience of this divine condition we call life…??

Begin-each-day-with-optimism
The ego possesses the common man in a way which fogs reality and gives concepts and ideas to everything which happens in life, so we can say that this mind is tense and frustrated, joyful at times but easily overwhelmed by worry and stress.

This creates fear, conscious or subconscious, which gives man a false sense of experience, mental images of gloom and doom where suffering is all they see as reality; thus, man experiences chaos and negativity, and this brings pessimism and hopelessness in powerful bouts–sometimes long periods of depression and moods which injure the mind in question.

optimism-world-suffering-overcoming
This process of pessimism and hopelessness makes the mind weak and susceptible to all kinds of illnesses–i.e., it lowers the immune system, it stresses the nervous system, it creates cancers, it makes us repellents to better opportunities in life.


That is why the way to health in all aspects, the way of life, is being positive, being optimistic; which is not being attached to a particular outcome but being brave enough to keep a positive and faithful attitude even in the middle of chaos or crisis.

This is indubitably the greatest tool in the arsenal of the strong warrior, because it takes a highly intelligent and strong man to remain positive in the midst of the storm; consequently, knowing that he can indeed survive and come out triumphant is what drives him forward with a true and powerful heart.

Being optimistic is not being naive and closed to reality, but the opposite–being optimistic is having the inner strength to quiet your own ego, your nagging thoughts and feelings tugging at you and making you see the worst scenario possible.   Being optimistic is allowing yourself to actually create your own experience and not allowing your outer environment and what your eyes see to tell you how to feel and lead your life.   To create beauty and good opportunities for yourself in this life, you must be able to envision good things in your mind first; but, furthermore, you must also be able to keep seeing good things in your mind constantly, patiently, faithfully, committedly, because otherwise you are just a mechanical tool of society/of your environment. 

…So, who are you–someone who creates his/her own life, or someone who follows the rabble and mechanically complies with whatever randomly happens…??  …  Think about it deeply for the answer…

 

“Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power.”  ~ William James; American psychologist, philosopher, educator, and writer.

What is driving you…??

There has to be an engine which drives you in life, in order for you to accept challenges and create great beauty in your path or in order to fail and self-pity your attempts over and over again; furthermore, this inner strength or drive must be based on something real, something everlasting and strong, something which is not made from a thought or concept.  Reality.  Namely love, not fear.
Character is the moral and ethical values which drive your life, what certainly creates you from within; and without this higher character you cannot build a successful and truly happy life.  Happiness is not an outcome of any exterior success or achievement, as most people believe in ignorance, but it is the ever flowing substance that you are and which can only be embraced and experienced if you carry your mental and physical body with high morals/with excellent character.

Character offers you mental freedom and peace to be yourself and fill this same mind with truth and love/a higher understanding.
quote-character-is-the-spiritual-body-of-the-person-and-represents-the-individualization-of-vital-edwin-percy-whipple-380033

On the other hand, reputation is what the ego pushes on you–i.e., a better pay, a better person compared to others, a more successful career, a man or woman of nicer words, etc. etc.  Reputation is beliefs and opinions others have about you, and this cannot bring you true happiness because this reputation does not allow you to be unique, independent, free of the demands and opinions of others. 

Reputation, even though society sees it differently, is based on fear, it is attachment to others fearing that they do not approve of you.  When you pursue reputation, your mind is not at peace but it is agitated and struggling to make others like you.


But to be yourself and base your life and your actions on love and truth is to express your heart, it is to learn to free yourself from the expectation of others so you can be mentally free and able to see your own path clearly.  So, ponder this:  What is it that is driving you really in your life today…??  Is it what others might think of you…??  Or is it your unique character to express yourself freely…??  (Be honest with yourself.)

“Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow.  The shadow is what we and others merely think of it; but the tree is the real thing.”  ~ Abraham Lincoln; American statesman, lawyer, and 16th President of the United States.

In perfect balance…

In our society is easy to see the two conditions of life divided in the human being, such conditions which are The Divine Feminine and The Divine Masculine; therefore, we see purely intellectuals, purely emotional and spirituals, purely greedy and obsessed, purely religious and indifferent from the world, etc. etc.  We see men with stubborn minds of knowledge who work hard and remain distanced from their own emotions.  We see women who only have romance and the desire to have kids in their minds.  All this is the very fragmentation of the mind, from which all suffering and differences arise in the world.

In-Perfect-Balance

Wars, for example, are started due to greed and hatred, fear born in insecure minds; insecure intellects which create war for financial purposes and to establish power as a nation or group.  This is the intellect of man/the ego of man guiding the individual.  When either one, the intellect or the emotions guide humankind we are unbalanced, we are dual, we are attached to suffering and pleasure; thus, the never-ending roller coaster of the unawakened individual, where true happiness cannot exist.  This not maturity, for maturity is to balance both, the intellect and the heart, the ego and the emotion. As Buddha says, ‘The Middle Way.’ Balance.

“Maturity is the ability to think, speak and act your feelings within the bounds of dignity.  The measure of your maturity is how spiritual you become during the midst of your frustrations.” ~ Samuel Ullman; American businessman, poet, and humanitarian.

28576602_431536050613096_2128937064387837952_n

We are beings which carry both substances, which in reality are one; but thought, which lives in time and names everything, comes along and says “Feminine” or “Masculine”, and so we choose because thought also says “One is weaker” “The other stronger.”


But the human mind, if it is to elevate itself to the heights of all illumination, must embrace both and merge as one, accept the role of both intellectual and emotional, of analysis and heart.  Only this balance, this divine merging, this enlightening Oneness, can bring about peace and harmony in the mind and reflect an outer world of equal peace and harmony.

 

“Balance.”

True transmutation is the balance of the two,
The balance of the two is the wellness of life;
This is the wisdom of the ages which were,
Such which lives in the Light of Conscience.

Without light man dwells in darkness,
Without seeing man seeks and seeks;
With pride in the search he fills himself–
Doesn’t he know that he has no eyes…??

Eternal children of both raised by one,
The One became the two and it began;
The miraculous purpose is laid unto him,
As the pendulum swings about his life.

The Source be man, man be the Source,
As the many be one, one be the many;
Rose from darkness to all of society be,
To find the balance which is the true way to be.

“Evolving through time…”

Time is tied to change, to development, to growth; thus, time is indeed all that, time is all it takes for matter to create memories, experiences, guides to nurture our brains and its wiring.  And physical evolution indeed happens through time, it is time; therefore, all which occurs in the physical sphere is a pattern or consequence of time and the activity human beings engage, knowingly or unknowingly.
The human brain is a bundle of memories, electrical and chemical wire conduits which mold experiences to better help us engage in the world, and it is the source of learning when added to the passion of our hearts; because whenever the intellect, the brain tries to learn something but there is no passion from the heart, then that same brain does not deeply learn but forgets soon enough.
education_quotes_07
Remember when you learned to drive, for example, it stuck with you throughout your life, even if you couldn’t have a car of your own for many years; because you knew it was important to you and also interesting as you saw your family drive, so you put not just your intellect and analysis but your whole heart into it, your passion to grow drove you forth.

And life itself is learning, growing, developing, creating ever forth; for when you learn with your heart in it, then you follow life and start living, you stop thinking and suffering age and the pressures of the world, because now you are nurturing yourself with food that will not leave you but strengthen you and make you feel stronger and more confident to create a better path–whether you are 20, 40, or 70 years old.

quote5
The worst mistake people make is to think and believe that the brain ages with the body and that there is no stopping the process; but the brain ages because most people do not care for it and nurture it with deep love for learning–i.e., a new language, new ideas, new lifestyles, new books, new skills or enterprises, new daily behaviors, mindful meditations, etc. etc.

When this happens and you nurture your brain daily, new neural connections appear, new awareness, consciousness expands, and you embrace change and direct it to better fit the ever evolving you.

“There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love.  When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.” ~ Sophia Loren; Italian film actress and singer.

Doors beyond perception…

The doors into perception, as they are limited by thought, tend to be crass, mechanical, confusing, and misguided by beliefs and ideas; therefore, they are seen as the whole of the human experience, and nothing in the mind of the masses exists but these daily patterns of perception.

This is the mundane brain conditioning; brain cells which have been managed through time to work mechanically based upon the environment and past of the individual.  But beyond this perception of daily living there is more, there is a vast source of energy which feeds these mentioned and known patterns of perception; thus, a grid of godly, cosmic, divine, ancient, or however you want to call it, reception or essence which lies beyond mechanical conditioning, namely a vortex or core of silence.

49

And this silence which is dynamic, vibratory, refreshing, filled with a rich perception beyond the known, is no more and no less than that field of unlimited comprehension and love (rich connection with what is) which carries no concept or duality; where the seeker stops all seeking and basks in the absolute freedom from the known perception of the ignorant masses belonging to a deeply disturbed society.

In this deeply meditative, attentive, and all-wise condition the mind is completely free, unpolluted, and superbly intelligent to accept all change and flow with life as one. 

This is indeed the state of reception of the divine which resides in our DNA and in higher states of consciousness brought on by communion with the pure heart through self-awareness, meditation, and deep self-knowledge; consequently, this cleanses the known perception to see clearly our path in life without psychological fears and emotional reactions.

———————————————————————————————————————

So, what’s beyond the mere perception of your daily physical senses…??  Why do people only lean and believe in the world outside of them, namely the world of age and form…??   The subconscious holds the key to higher states of focus, attention, free creativity, wisdom, and all which guides the conscious human being into the light of truth to fix and create his own life, to not fall into society’s pressures and environment anomalies.  And aren’t these the obstacles for most people’s progress and deep perception of life, deep perception of their own daily problems….??

“If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.”  ~ William Blake; English poet, painter, and printmaker.

The Spark of Intelligence.

 

The mind of man, in its lower, dormant state, is very conformist, opportunistic, it chooses the easiest and most popular path to follow; it does not create out of reason and love for itself but it designs and schemes paying attention to the world around it.

quote-too-many-people-are-too-lazy-to-think-instead-of-learning-something-new-they-think-the-robert-kiyosaki-57-63-33
And the world around it is certainly ignorant and selfish, it does not look for peace and love, unity and uniqueness, it does not search for the growth of the individual; consequently, it seeks to consolidate itself and its power, its influence and control in these weak and lower-state minds, and all in order to selfishly feed its own ego, sell, and demonstrate power over others–comparison between peoples, between nations to see who is better – competition always.
27751671_422405968192771_5137328552482006938_n
Society, it does not matter what the media and slogans say, does not look to cultivate thinking minds, rich minds which use logic and question, because thinking minds are a danger to the established order, to the established norm; thus, society sells lies dressed as truths in order to slow the mind of the individual and make them followers, enslaves to their own greed of consolidation.


But there is the one individual who allows his mind to stop the chatter and see through the bullying of the demands of society, someone of higher intelligence who sees through the lies and facade of the media, religion, and the government; and, furthermore, this one is the person who steps away and focuses on himself, without being selfish, without following the mere rabble and those idiots in power who conspire to make him another robot without a thought of his own. 

To awaken to this is to realize deep within you that you can create and build yourself, that you find and discover happiness and success on your own and so you stop seeking it outside of yourself.

27751820_910085632504457_6446819013025497103_n
The spark of intelligence illuminates the human mind when we take time to stop our rushing thoughts from following others, the media, and all of society’s schemes; and so question ourselves, all we know and believe, all we have been taught in the past, even if whatever we believe seems at a first glance rational.  The lightning spark of thought generated in the solitary mind awakens and is able to function independently, richly, full of intelligence beyond what you now now and understand as intelligence.

The beginning of unique, rich, creative thought, comes when you begin to see through the schemes of society; as you question yourself, the thoughts you have, the feelings you have, and the intentions and reasons you have.


“It is not enough to be busy.  So are the ants.   The question is:  What are we busy about?”  ~ Henry David Thoreau; American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian.

Chains of Understanding.

A stubborn mind which is lazy and dull will not change, and such change–i.e., change of ideas, change of lifestyle, change of behavior, etc.–is what life really is, is it not…??  Weak minds, minds which enslave themselves to others, minds of unrestrained egos, minds which do not really live in harmony and love create illusions out of fear–i.e., fear of loneliness, fear of an afterlife, fear of Karma, fear of being left out, fear of not being popular like the others, etc. etc..

think-for-yourself

Beliefs without actual, personal, proof are the MOST damaging nonsense to the human mind, it robs you of clarity and depth of understanding.   And beliefs are not just induced from childhood into your subconscious, forming your personality and the way you think and see the world as a grown up; but they are also greatly reinforced and designed by the TV you watch, the books you read, the activities with friends, your family traditions, your nationalistic views, etc. 

It all works subtly in your mind, so subtly you do not see it perhaps, but it is so strong that it influences all your views, choices, it dulls your thinking, it robs your mind from all clarity and deep understanding due to a heavily conditioned brain.

think-for-yourself1
TV watching, or the morons tube, is perhaps the most damaging of all when it comes to absolute mental freedom; as you watch the news or reality shows, or any other influencer, your mind gets conditioned to think one way, to see the world one way, and to make beliefs and choices one way… the way they want you to in order to sell and make you a part of the ignorant society.
EasierToFindAWarThanAJob
Nationalistic views and the nonsense of war is a great problem for individual thought.  Ignorant minds tell you to go to war, “be the best you can be” they say, do not think for yourself but go kill and obey blindly like a mere puppet.

People do not see this, and yet they want peace and love in the world, and yet they want an awakening in themselves; however, they want this peace and love in the world when their own minds are not peaceful and full of true, innocent love, they are full of beliefs of the masses based on fear, they are lazy enough to not question.  This is not love, but it is the opposite.

This ignorance is violence against themselves, it is the opposite of self-love because they do not love themselves enough to live based on reality and facts, they let ignorance rule their lives.
So, always question EVERYTHING society and specially religion says.  Always question how you think and feel about something, about anything.  Always question.  Question, question, question.   Until the day you die.  Your mind then must become supple, innocent and creative as the child’s, empty and full of new energy, able to grasp reality as it really is; thus, your mind can only understand and absorb an awakening if it is this superior mind.

27067570_417656745334360_6497488075506455827_n

“And, through acceptance of belief, do we understand ourselves?  On the contrary.  A belief, religious or political, obviously hinders the understanding of ourselves.  It acts as a screen through which we look at ourselves.  And can we look at ourselves without beliefs?  If we remove these beliefs, the many beliefs that one has, is there anything left to look at?  If we have no beliefs with which the mind has identified itself, then the mind, without identification, is capable of looking at itself as it is, rich, pure, innocent, alert, truly intelligent; and then, surely there is the beginning of the understanding of oneself, the beginning of the superior mind.”  ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti.

The wise man questions.

“The sanity of society is a balance of a thousand insanities.”  ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson; American essayist, philosopher, society critic, lecturer, and poet.

There is no bigger fool than the fool who does not want to see, than the fool who follows the carrot society dangles in his face.

Without questioning, without self-exploration, without a fresh perspective one cannot see reality; hence, one’s mind remains stubborn and chained to a blinding society who does not care about the freedom or happiness of the individual, but a society that only cares about the established patterns, old traditions, ways of living which sell and increase its own power.
27336693_416552678778100_2148278266007500321_n

The said human being then, chained and subconsciously subdued, quite often dull and depressed, with certain bouts of an anxious and overtaxed mind, begins to accept the crooked “reality” this idiotic and enslaving society has cast upon him, just like a very strong spell he lives every day as he wakes up.

And so, he is now dismal and his narrow mind is the world this society has created for him, where he sees only the work he hates, where he sees no deeper understanding, where he knows only struggle, pain and pleasure, but no happiness beyond that.


To awaken from all this is to question all this, every little detail; thus, question even what you know right now to be true, question more and more, never stop.

The wise man knows that he knows nothing, because the wise man knows that he will always be questioning and exploring as long as a breath remains in his body.

Be the wise man, not the fool, the slave, the ignorant servant who follows the carrot dangled in his face….

Signs of opportunity.

Nothing truly noble and of great value in life can be achieved if there is no persistence, and persistence can never really be without patience.
bc8ba8f1023fea8ee82a82b5bd8e8a5d
When things, relationships, events, jobs, come to you easily and without much effort and analysis from your part, then be cautious and see your situation in detail because that is either not going to last or is not going to help you to truly experience happiness, perhaps it will bring you more headaches than actual joyful moments.
But if you are having tough times achieving your dreams or goals, if you are going through problems in your relationship, if you are having hard economical times, then you must understand this; for these are signs that life is giving you the opportunity to discover your weakness and exercise your strengths, and this is the moment for you to be committed and persistent, be patient and trust yourself.

be18577124845538aec6cbc4c5962352--stressed-out-stressed-quotes
It is easy and rather pointless to be persistent in happy times, because these times need no persistence, because these times are not teaching you anything.  You become stronger as life gives you opportunities to make yourself stronger through tough times.  What is more important to you?–to live and enjoy pleasures that come and go?–or to be committed and persistent so you can enjoy happiness that stays with you as you go on living daily…??


Remind yourself that in loyalty to your dreams and goals, and in the persistence to achieve them, there is constant bliss you can experience.

26993568_416109872155714_5660205020906996820_n

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.  Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.  Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.  Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.  Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.  The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”  ~ Calvin Coolidge; lawyer, governor, and 30th President of the United States (1923–1929).

The answer is inside the question.

Three colorful arrow signs reading Which Way to Go?
“The majority is never right.  Never, I tell you!  That’s one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can help rebelling against.  Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population — the intelligent ones or the fools?”  ~ Henrik Ibsen; Norwegian playwright, theater director, and poet.
In a world where every decision is made for us, where religious pressures and society’s demands are waiting in every corner–i.e., you have to be in a romantic relationship to feel loved, you must read the scriptures and pray in order to be a good person, you have to watch TV to be like the rest and be informed about the world, you ought to read books to fill your mind with knowledge so you are intelligent like others, you need this and that to become this and that, and the rest of the nonsense. 
But with all this confusion and demands going on, how can you look for truth and answers to actually better your life…??

404020_274133249358429_1545015323_n

The problem here is not doing all these things, but the problem is what these things do to the mind.  The human mind tends to obsess or fix over the things it does, the mind’s world is all these things it does, all these things it experiences; so whenever a problem arises it looks for answers or solutions in these routines–in books, in religions, in relationships, in work, etc. etc.

But this search is not something reliable, because it brings out more questions and dilemmas.  What is God…??  Where does he/she live…?? Where would I find him/her…??  How should a saint behave…??  How am I to behave to be morally conscious…??  How to balance public life and personal life…??  The mind then is in confusion, because whatever the answers found, there is always more opinions, more philosophies, more ideas, and so deeper question arise… and more… and more…

So, the answers are rarely found in the outer life, in the outward seeking; but the answer lies within you, because the one asking questions is thought, your obsessive thinking; and behind thought there is silence, self-awareness where no questions exist.  Questions are brought on by confusion, and behind your thoughts, in that precise and calm essence of being, is you, the answer of all the questions your ego can fabricate.

It is only in this very self-awareness where you find no confusion and no anxiety, because here there are no questions…
27066749_415324225567612_2136362274823625765_n

“Being an intellectual creates a lot of questions and no answers.” ~ Janis Joplin; American singer and songwriter.
