Weightless

🌹What is love?? What is a life well lived?? What is happiness and Joy?? It is you and me. It is us. Because there really exists nothing else. But the mind makes all these obstacles, and it manifests the fears it carries. How does it manifest them?? It all has been the same from the beginning of mankind.

🥀By making up a god and gods. By making up devils and demons. By creating limits and impossibilities. Your mind says you are not enough. And then, the flower does not bloom. The sun does not shine. Love has turned to fear. Nothing feels right in our lives.

🌧So, you feel broken, undeserving, unattractive, alone. And you feel like an outsider, like something is wrong with you, like others have it right and you don’t. That way you feel, the details of the burdens you carry, is the illusion that is unique to you.

💗But if you can just detach yourself from the fear, let go of the doomsday scenarios, you can then become weightless and free. You could bloom like a flower, and the sun could always shine on you.

🌞It does not matter what happens in the world, to others, to what is around you, your life can be magic if you transform your mind from within. Many know this. Just a very few actually become free and detached from their illusions. Each moment, you, and only you, decide who you want to be.

The secret

Be honest with yourself: Do you have it??

-Love is what we all seek. But don’t give it a form. True love does not have a form. True love is that one feeling that gives you strength, purpose, self-confidence, and joy daily. It does not matter if you are poor or rich, if you are in a relationship or not, if you have education or not, if you are accepted or mistreated by others.

-Do you have this?? It does not make you clingy to anything or to anyone. It does not make you anxious at all. It just is. And it feels like absolute freedom, it doesn’t matter the troubles or burdens you carry. So, ask yourself with honesty if you have true love in your life.

It is about you, no one and nothing else.

-If you do, cherish it. And you do so, by not becoming attached to anything. Once you allow your mind to become attached to anything at all, you lose that feeling of freedom and you become a slave to the form, to the philosophy, to the object, to the person, to the situation, to the world. So, have you asked yourself yet??

-If you do not have in your life, it might be time to work on yourself. Age is never an excuse. Responsibilities are not an excuse. Let me tell you: I am big on self-development. I have had challenges and tests in my life, and I hated them. But long after that I had a realization. Nothing changes unless you change yourself. Love and happiness is really an inner work.

-Family, money, status, education, and all the rest won’t give you that inner freedom to live a better life and remain always positive, calm, and strong enough to empowered yourself. The more you understand yourself, why you think the way you think, why you cling to ideas, why you suffer the way you suffer, and why you seek what you seek in life, the more open-minded you will be and the more power you will add to yourself.

How unique are you…??

Open your eye

-How unique are you…?? And what if our love wasn’t just a passing fad?? What if our devotion could be timeless, not held prisoner by mood swings, not held prisoner by overwhelming passions, not best suited for moments of joy and prosperity alone??

-Open your unique eye. Our past, present, and future are all the same, just as long as our hearts are one and our minds are freed from thoughts of misfortune and self-victimization. Can you love yourself even if the skies come down on you??

See the truth

-Allow the world to turn, people to be what they want, events to sway and collapse with the passing of time. Let your thoughts and feelings pass like the weather, which is unexpected and dramatic too often. You hold on to yourself beyond all that drama, and all over again know the deep, timeless love that is true.

-Can you let go of the illusion ?? People grow old and die. Flowers wither away. Prophets and news speak of the end of times in some aspect. And yet, everything is as it is meant to be. Nothing is fatal. Nothing is real.

-So, keep a mind alert and see the truth of our love, which does not grow old and die, which does not wither away, which does not end with the times. But, this ancient knowledge, this great understanding, this cosmic way of life, requires your courage to let the world go. How unique are you…??

Self-Analysis

A Little Tough Love

I guess it is easier and more convenient for many of us to complain, to victimize ourselves, to blame society for our troubles. But, to be straightforward, it is not the smart thing to do. You know me, guys. I don’t like to sugarcoat anything. I have suffered a lot in life, so I have learned much discipline for myself as a very happy consequence.

I am tough with myself, so I am the same way with my writing here. And this mental toughness led me to write uniquely my fantasy stories. (By the way, feel free to check out my books in this site, so you know what I’m talking about). And so, let’s see, we all have desires, passions, goals. Maybe we are decided. Maybe not so much. But the smart way is to start and never complain. To keep going.

There is no failure

How to keep going?? By getting out of your own head, by shaking yourself and changing your mental habits, and by blaming only yourself for your path in life. It might sound harsh, but it is required to be tough with ourselves to stop focusing on others and shift that focus onto ourselves. Anyone can do anything, with patience, with commitment, with love for what you want. This is an unwavering love that makes no excuses and that believes not in failure. Ever not in failure.

We don’t really fail, we learn and move on. So, remember that. It is all perspective. Loser believe in failure. Winners believe in lessons learned. We, winners, move on and keep creating, keep working, keep taking small steps towards our goals. It is about you, about commitment to yourself, about feeling good about you and your character. Self-victimization takes us nowhere. You want power?? Then keep going without complaining. It is what I do, so it is what I know works.

How You Become Stronger

If you are going to do it, do it with passion and perseverance. Make sure that is what you truly want. Envision obstacles and challenges first. Imagine yourself going through heartache and disappointment. Ready yourself for whatever the future may hold. For this, use your imagination and intuition.

In this way, you will become stronger and you will not give up easily. And so, you will go on because of you, because you are stronger of mind now; and you will also understand that the government, and all the people, and all the events around you do not matter in your unique story. Because only you matter.

Self-care 101

Take Responsibility

A little tough love, because the truth might hurt your ego now; but only this brings true freedom, which is increased capacity for love and happiness. The world around you does not understand what love and happiness is. They do not understand where it originates either. But why should you remain one more amongst the sheep and ignorant??

So, the way we show ourselves care, love, empathy, and commitment to our own well-being is not just by desiring it. It’s by taking action and getting out of our comfort zones. You research for food that is healthy for you. You avoid buying foods that are unhealthy for you. You commit to exercise and you make it your priority.

Stop with The Excuses

You must put yourself first and dedicate time for these activities. Ignore commercials trying to sell you what is not healthy. Ignore what your family and friends eat. Ignore what the world shoves in front of you as bad influence, because your health and happiness is only something you create by personal/individual action.

You cannot blame, or put the responsibility on others when it comes to this. This might sound harsh to you, but as long as you keep seeking excuses, or even postponing it, you will not become truly self-aware. Self-awareness begins inside you and it is about getting rid of your stubbornness, comfort, and ignorance. Accept and live the truth.

Get rid of all your bad habits. All of them. Study your actions and see what you have to change. Do not dwell on it. Do not overthink it. Because, if you do, then excuses will take over and kill the light of intelligence dawning in your mind. And, think about it, it is not just about you; but it is about giving the best example to the ones you love. Are you still making excuses??

My AI Book Covers

-So, I want to get you up to speed on what I’ve been doing regarding my books. Just in case you don’t know: I’m a self-published author. I do other things, but I am a creator at heart. So whether is painting, drawing, graphic design, storytelling, editing, and now AI-generated work, I am all over it. It’s my passion. To be honest, I think my life would be terrible without creativity.

-But specially storytelling and creating fantastical characters and places. You know, something that can make you dream and think about the unusual, weird, and awesome. Okay, so let me tell you then. (And by the way, thanks for reading this; it means a lot to me that you are taking time just to read it. So, much appreciation, my friend.). About AI (Artificial Intelligence) then. I have to admit, I am sort of obsessed with it.

I like to try new things and find out those things I really want on my own. My biggest thing is Curiosity. After creativity, of course. Okay, so I have been learning how to create my book covers with AI. And I have found it a little challenging at first, but I really got the hang of it now. So, I want to show you the images and book covers I made for my BENJAMIN JONES series. I’m pretty excited and proud of my work. I hope you like them as well. The first images are for book #1- “The Call of The Shaman”:

These next ones are for “The Return of The Gods”:

And “The Book of 1st Witchcraft”:

And we get to the last ones. This is “Shadow Ghouls of Nergus”:

And so, I am currently working on #5, titled “Son of Darkness.” I am also working on other projects currently, but I am still eager and passionate to continue the dark fantasy BENJAMIN JONES series. This interesting fantasy story of chosen ones, gods, demons, aliens and other dimensions has yet a lot to explore. So, it’s going slowly but surely. Thanks again for your time.

To feel lonely…

The Pursuit of Happiness

Self-reflection: The natural ability to be patient and inquire into yourself. You might be aware of its process. You might not be aware of its process. Most people are not aware of it. So, in the same context, what really leads you to feel lonely?? Attaching yourself to whatever is outside you does.

Relying on people to feel happy, loved, satisfied and fulfilled in your life. Relying on the exterior, whatever or whomever it is, is the roller coaster, what society ignorantly calls The Pursuit of Happiness.

The Rat Race

They make it a chase, a hunt, something you have to daily struggle and fight to achieve. You might have to struggle to achieve a relationship, or money, or a position you want, or to be accepted by others; but you never should have to struggle or fight for love or happiness.

So, if you do struggle for it daily, then it means you really don’t know what it is, which means you do not know or even understand yourself beyond the petty desires of your own mind. But you are not alone. 98% of the world is in the rat race with you as well.

What Festers inside

Achieving your desires might be important. We all want to be successful at what we want. But living entirely for achievements makes you feel anxious, frustrated, insecure, lonely. So, learn how to separate the desires of your mind from the depth of your heart.

Most of the time, people confuses these two with one: This is what creates frustration and loneliness, which is the ignorance of not really knowing the two apart. You may think you love something, or someone; but it turns out, much later, that you made a mistake because you followed anxiety and loneliness.

And then you blame your exterior, others, the world, when things hurt you or do not go as you expected. This festers jealousy, hate, feelings of desperation, lack of self-worth in you. And it is all because you followed impulses, passions, and you never self-reflected.

Life

Vital Focus

Remind yourself: Living a better life is about appreciating what you have. And living a happy life is also about appreciating what you have. Society, and our individual intellectual mind, makes us lose focus of what really matters.

All true love is born in you when you are fully satisfied with your life as it is, which means focusing and appreciating what you have in this moment–whatever that is. There is no true joy without this vital focus.

And that is what life is; namely a moment of focus in what we call time, space, or evolution. But if you focus on the stress and the bad things that could happen, then you are not fully enjoying life.

As You Make It

Being alive without enjoying life brings all sorts of mental and physical distortions and illnesses. Accept yourself, your situation, others, as they are; but do not dwell on the negativity or in the unpleasantness, instead focus on your own well being and on moving on.

At the end of the day, life is as precious as you make it. The worst anyone can do is to wish this, that, or what others have. Wishing, and attaching yourself to this wish, inevitably brings feelings of suffering and self-victimization.

It leads to feelings of jealousy and regret, and these paralyse you while taking away your capacity for growth. Life becomes worthless if you feel no capacity for growth, which is lack of value and confidence to work on yourself and on what you want.

The Reason You Create

Nobody likes to feel like this, because it changes your mood, because it makes you see life as being unjust, and because it makes you feel like you do not matter in the world. This creates a void in your heart, which is the kind of loneliness that makes you suffer and even makes you question the reason for existing.

And, of course, existing in itself has no reason. The “burden”, or greatest challenge in our lives, is to give our existence, our life, meaning. But I am talking about the kind of meaning that rises from your own mental wellbeing.

“Being born again”. So, forget about your past, what you’ve suffered, what somebody else did to you, and be born again. This is done by training your mind to appreciate what you have now, by not comparing yourself or your life, and by patiently taking steps to build more of what you want/to bring more meaning into your life.

The Only Way

Seeking Our Worth

Relationships are difficult. Life is difficult. But, as I see it, it doesn’t have to be. People hide things from each other. People fear being themselves. People judge others based on their past experiences–past hurt and otherwise. We all do this at some point in our lives. The worst we can do is try to make up excuses for it, or even deny it.

And, I have been there as well, where sometimes one feels unworthy, or depressed about how things are going in life, or somewhat afflicted by society and by the pressures of it. Maybe finances are down. Or something very personal affects us in a way that makes us feel negative in terms of who we are. And I think this comes due to seeking our worth in the exterior.

Falsity in Exterior Pursuits

How others are doing. The latest fashions being worn. The greatest techs. Examples from celebrities and what not. A sure way to lose our identity in the vast sea out there. But we are really meant to discover ourselves, which is the only purpose in life. Forming relationships, family, kids, our jobs, money, career, traveling, etc–it all comes second because these are just exterior pursuits.

And why are these exterior pursuits?? Because, as great, noble and pleasurable as these are, these cannot bring true happiness. They are tethered to the roller coaster of life. One day we can get all we want and be joyous. Another day everything brings us down because it doesn’t result as expected. The rate race, in a manner of speaking. Great experiences, but the wrong place to seek happiness.

The Truth About Happiness

Because happiness is something we are always in control, because we choose it. It is not chosen based on our relationship satisfaction level. It is not chosen based on how much money we make or the life we can afford. And it is definitely not based on the success we have in society–in any of its terms. Happiness is of our minds. Happiness really is a mindset. Your life can be in shambles.

People do not like you. You hate your job, your boss, your hours, your pay. Still, you choose to be happy and contented with your life currently. You try to excel at something you like. You pursue your passions with all your might. But you don’t complain and make excuses in your mind. Keep your mind negativity free.

Physical Health is First

Then you train your mind to always be happy. Now, I am not saying is easy. Obviously it is not. But, that’s what it takes to be truly happy. Self-discipline. Promise yourself that no matter what happens around you, or outside you, you will choose to be happy. There is no more than that really. Self-love. Of course, you must watch what you eat and be healthy.

If you feel sick, in physical pain in any way, then it’ll be almost impossible to keep that promise to yourself. When we are physically sick or in pain, then our minds become full of tension and anxiety. In this chaotic mind, we cannot choose positivity and happiness. So, be kind to yourself. To your body and mind. And no excuses–do that favor to yourself.
