The mystical essence of love…

One day a Russian traveler came to see an Indian mystic, and he said “I have come from very far to talk to you; may I enter and see you now.”

The mystic replied wisely, “Be at home, my friend; leave your shoes and come see me.”

The traveler entered, shut the door behind him quickly and unkindly, threw out his shoes with excitement, and neared the wise man.  Seeing this, the mystic said, “Stop, my friend.  You have to show love before you talk to me.  Go back and apologize to the door and the shoes for the treatment.”
“Apologize to the door and the shoes…??  Are they alive like you and me..??” said the traveler.  …But the wise man said nothing…  The man felt silly but he had come a long way to talk to the mystic, so he went back.  To the shoes he said, “I sincerely apologize for having thrown you so carelessly.”  And to the door he said, “I am sorry for my rude and violent behavior.”

… Having heard this, the wise man smiled with kindness, and said, “Now I feel you are full with pure love, and because of it this place is full of pure love.  We can talk lovingly now, my friend.”

You can pick up a brick and treat it full of kindness and love as if you were picking up a friend.  You can hold a loved one and do it with disgust and feelings of contempt.  Everything is alive, moving or not to your eyes; everything must be appreciated for its existence, because love is the essence of the rock and of the loved one.  A loving person is not the person who loves animals and humans, and then eats with greediness, behaves with things around him violently, and acts in his alone time with anger.  A loving person appreciates all the things, sentient beings and not; for this person loves because this person has become the power of love itself.  This person truly knows and understands, as a personal experience, the mystical essence of love, of himself…  Can you be this person in your life…??

“On the path of the Master Love, we are neither Masters nor the owners of our lives.  We are only a brush in the divine hand of the Master Painter.”  ~ Rumi.

What is real about you…??

Whatever is brought on by matter, whatever is matter, is it of eternal value…?? What is of eternal value then…?? What is the eternal value of a human being, or of a flower, or of the earth underneath your feet, or of the shining stars above you…??
The surface or facade of things, of human beings, of the earth, is all an illusion, a mere pleasantness who travels a journey tied to time and space.  Prestige, physical attractiveness, a mind full of knowledge, beliefs, traditions, and so on and so forth, is all decaying, isn’t it…??  One year relevant and attached to opinions of the trend, the next not so much….

we-live-in-illusion-and-the-appearance-of-things-there-is-a-reality-we-are-that-reality-when-you-understand-this-you-see-that-you-are-nothing-and-being-nothing

Life passes, you get old, society changes, economy falters, you experience moments of joy and moments of loss, and you must then make the mature decision of inquiring, of exploring deeply and find out within yourself what is vital and what does not leave you; therefore, you must meditate seriously into yourself, analyze life deeply and find out for yourself what is the eternal value in you.  Religion, scriptures, spiritual groups, prayers, so-called “sacred” statues, and even philosophies from great ancient Masters cannot make you aware of this in your heart.

You might fill your intellect with all this enlightening data, but you must awaken in yourself to actually know the truth, the experience of what is your value, eternal value; however, does not matter what anybody has told you or what you have read, knowledge is not the actual experience, so it is imperative that you meditate and seriously self-inquire.  If you do not do this, then you cannot really live this life the way it must be lived, with pure love and freedom; and you will neglect yourself and your value as well, which shall bring you great fear of physical death and confusion about what really lives and what really dies…  Are you anxious about aging…??  Are you wondering about a better life before you die…??  Problems keep you up at night…??  What are you going to do about it…??–Just exist and survive like an ignorant and subservient coward…??–Or find out on your own like a courageous Master…??

Beware of The Master!

How aware are you of the truth you know, or of the source of knowledge you have, or of the life you lead…??  Are you really independent, free, and individual in the way you think and act…??  Are you your own Master…??

The human mind seeks answers, solutions, revelations, greater experiences from outside itself; therefore, it enjoys clinging and attachment to whatever it is comfortable to its ego.  Are you aware of this yourself…??  This is why most people falls trap of becoming followers, slaves to religions, to certain men (spiritual or not), to traditions, to collective beliefs, to institutions, and to all the rest of the philosophies and techniques which encase the mind into a blinding pattern.


051a33b61d6a6d588653d4daeef86293e8069d
Do you realize that if you lean and find a false sense of security in something outside of yourself, then your mind becomes attached to it and you lose higher meditation, reality, conscience, and you begin seeing life through that which you follow so closely…??  And you start losing yourself in this method, in this Master, in this philosophy, in this man or god; thus, you distance yourself from self-love because now you live your life not as an individual who is free and conscious, but you live as someone who depends on someone else for love, happiness, for awakening, and for truth.

But truth can only be found in yourself as an individual experience; so, you cannot read about it, or hear it from someone else, or experience it through someone else’s story, but your mind must be absolutely free so you can inquire within yourself and discover it for yourself, without expecting, without blind faith, without clinging, without any attachment, and without any fear whatsoever.

Be aware of this at all times…

A glimpse into eternity…

Do you realize that eternity is here, now, with you, even though it might be extremely difficult to experience for you….??  Do you know what is it that shades or blocks eternity from human experience…??
Eternity is something absolutely free, a condition of existence without the tyranny of space and time; furthermore, eternity is egolessness and Oneness, a state where no duality exists and all boundaries are vanished.  Humanity is bound and bullied by ego, by its nature of desire and prejudice; and so, ego is thought and thought gives birth to time and space, and time and space turns matter into decaying dust under the rule of that despot known as fear.  But can you think of a moment where you have experienced eternity, egolessness and timelessness, even if you didn’t realize it at the time…??

The swift moment when you gaze into a loved one’s eyes without a thought of desire or any attachment in your mind.  The very peak of lovemaking, called orgasm, when desire has left and there is only Oneness and a pure harmony throughout your existence.  A deep meditative state, called by some superconsciousness, where thought is not ruling the mind and so this one is empty because no attention seeks ego…  These are indeed some of the moments of the higher states of consciousness which allow us to experience eternity, because you are living purely in the moment here and you are not choosing a direction or a desire; but in these moments you are without ego and absolutely free from time and space.


index
As you go about your life and experience your mind faltering and your body decaying, know and understand that eternity is what you truly are under the layers of your ego and the time ruling your corroding body.  When you are threatened by fear and confusion in any way overwhelming your mind, seek magical comfort in that you have already experienced eternity and it is the reality of all existence; and that when you leave your physical body, you shed these layers of ego and time, and so what is left is eternity itself.

“God exists in eternity.  The only point where eternity meets time is in the present.  The present is the only time there is. ~ Marianne Williamson; American spiritual teacher, author, and lecturer.

Everyday Magic…

executive-power-words

How do you see language, words, codes, our daily mental and verbal messages to ourselves and to other people…??  Do you actually realize the value and importance in life which words do have…??  What is the purpose of our many languages…??
As a writer I put a lot of analysis and meaning into words, because its usage, after all, is certainly the main medium for communication we have as human beings. Words can either create or destroy, elevate or humiliate, make others feel loved or despised, make others do great things or unspeakable things.  Can you see this for yourself…??

29595057_442471876186180_3194078704820266569_n

Think about it–  Hitler made people, which were good and decent people before, hate and kill others.  Jesus, Buddha, and other Enlightened Ones, opened minds into love and made people follow their wisdom teachings.  Religions nowadays make people’s minds narrow and unable to see reality with their ignorant words.  You can either create a great human being or a criminal with words, specially during early childhood when the human brain is absorbing more knowledge from what their parents say.

Creation endowed us with the great capacity for words, for greater communication, for a mighty reason.  Our words are powerful and to be used with great responsibility.

 

Words in your mind.  Words aloud to yourself and to others.  Great energy they are.  White magic, words of love, which builds and elevates yourself and other people.  Dark magic, words of all contempt and fear, which destroys and humiliates yourself and other people…  So, use them carefully and with responsibility…

“Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity.  We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair.  Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.”  ~ Yehuda Berg; Israeli-American international speaker and author on Kabbalah.

Give them freedom…

Do you understand relationships…??  What is the point of honest communication…??  Do you bring freedom to your relationships…??

In human relationships the key element is honest communication, as we all know, as we all try to become better human beings in life; however, quite often one gets taken by this obsession for winning, for coming out ahead, for proving ourselves to the other, thus the ego takes over and a communication based on love and understanding vanishes.  This calls for self-reflection and less pride; so, this calls for more rich silence, less talking.

29543143_440428179723883_2314169880494595611_n
The ego likes to talk and show off, defend itself and seek security; but the true heart of love is silent, wise, listens because it knows in silence there is true freedom.  And what is love…??  Is it a word…??  Is it talking and arguing…??  No.  True love is an essence which lives in the rich silence; in the rich silence of listening, in the rich silence of holding hands and walking together, in the rich silence of staring deeply into each other’s eyes… without a sign of ego… without trying to fix anything… without empty words all the time…


And that is exactly what one must bring into a relationship, into an honest communication with another, such freedom to liberate the mind of another and make them feel valued, appreciated to allow themselves to be heard by us, to express themselves freely and without any contention or threat.

This is love and understanding, to show true care in what someone else thinks and feels; because sometimes talking is of the ego and vanity itself, because sometimes to be quiet and listen is to guide our relationships into new, vaster horizons.

“Much talking is the cause of danger.  Silence is the means of avoiding misfortune. The talkative parrot is shut up in a cage.  Other birds, without speech, fly freely about.”  ~ Saskya Pandita; Tibetan spiritual leader, Buddhist scholar, and writer.

Have you considered real love…??

“If you want the moon, do not hide at night.  If you want a rose, do not run from the thorns.  If you want love, do not hide from yourself. ”  ~ Rumi.

 

To love oneself, the elevation of oneself, the true knowledge of oneself, must be the purpose of our individual existence; because if one does not truly and absolutely love oneself, then one cannot truly love another being.  And it is not enough to say in your mind “I love myself,” but it is in the small things of our daily living where we must show ourselves love–i.e., in the way we eat, in the types of food we ingest, in the thoughts we entertain in our minds, in cleaning our place, in cooking for ourselves, in exercising, in the things we read, etc. etc.

So everything starts in this love for ourselves.  If you cannot accept and love yourself, everything and anything you do in life is superficial.  Without self-love, you are forced to fall in the trap of seeking love and happiness outside of yourself–i.e., in relationships, in situations, in jobs, in travels, in cultures, in religions, etc..  This seeking is the form of false “love” the ego has created in you, this fake “love” is attachment.

“Changed“

As the darkness settled I felt empty,
A void and an abyss deep within me.
The people who were lost were plenty,
A vast wilderness where I could not be.

The hidden loathing was for the many lies,
Which I told to myself every waking day.
And I would not listen to the loud cries,
Ill by the pleasures of my body’s decay.

But as I saw I became one with the light,
For before true love I knew estranged;
The darkness in me had been my sight,
The emptiness within had now Changed.

Will you learn real love in you…??

Freedom from the enemy.

Is the word, opinion, judgement, or idea which appears in the mind, the actual experience…?? Does a word have reality which can actually hurt you, or is it a word a form of duality from what is actually happening…?? How can anyone really be free and independent if one does not meditate on this deeply…??

28685017_431503813949653_6273967344142254080_n
Words are powerful constructs in the mind, mechanical, patterns of conditioning mostly; especially negative words which condemn or judge, because these words analyze experiences as they might go for us, as they might be for us, and not experiences as they really are–i.e., “She will break up with me,” “I won’t be good enough,” “I will faint in front of them,” “I will get sick,” “I am not awakened enough to become that,” and so on and so forth.  All thoughts not based on reality.

 

But all words, negative and positive, are of time, are they not…??  They either describe the past or the future.  You are looking at a flower, you see its colors, its form, you feel mystically enthralled by it or not; so, then comes thought, a word or phrase which says “It is a beautiful flower” or “It is a horrible flower.”  But as soon as these words come into the mind, you are distancing yourself from the actual experience, the actual Now moment, you are labeling the experience as you wish, you are focused on the words and not on the actual substance which connects you to the flower–namely love, which is pure silence.

Words judge for good or bad, they create a description which is not the actual experience; there is an image of the flower in your mind now, that image attracts you to the flower’s form or it repulses you.

blog-you-need-to-face-your-fears

This is how all fear, and its many forms of attachment, is born, by a thought which judges and creates a distance between this same word and the actual experience which does not need words.

But by just observing fear, without judging or naming it, you go beyond it, beyond thought, beyond time itself; consequently, you dwell in this silence of the mind which is beyond thought, and this silence is rich, vital, energizing, dynamic, without judgement of any kind, where there is ABSOLUTE freedom from fear–unlike any concept of freedom the intellect or the ego understands.

“Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.” ~ Bertrand Russell; British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, writer, social critic, political activist, and Nobel laureate.

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.

Eternal and Unquenchable.

So many people in the world are ruled by hatred, fear, and the search for money and popularity that their minds are blind to the truth, to reality, they live in this illusion of their minds where everything truly important ages and so they have to compete violently and rush into situations, manipulate and scheme to become better, to become someone else, to become powerful in the eyes of society; for they truly hate themselves deeply and so seek things and accomplishments, and step on others and show their “superiority” just because they need to fill this emptiness they carry inside.
This is the ignorance in the conditioned brain, because they are ruled by dogmas, beliefs, ideas, traditions, memories, and all lifestyles and philosophies borrowed or stolen from others, taught to them and maintained since childhood, they compare themselves to others, they envy and do not know what love/a deeper connection really is.
27973266_425362294563805_2146636734359793375_n

The unquenchable fire of love and compassion for themselves and for others is buried under all these beliefs, traditions, ideas, and lifestyles of competition to see who is superior, who can be a better slave to money, hatred, and all commercialism, in general to a disgraceful society.

They cannot see and feel what lies in themselves buried and so they seek and seek, for ever more because they see themselves aging and time passing so they become impatient and agitated; therefore, they see life as ephemeral and rushing by, they do not understand that what is buried deep inside them, the unquenchable fire of love and compassion, makes them eternal, makes their minds pure, innocent and creative, absolutely free to see reality as it truly is, to see life as it is and find peace and patience from the tricks of time and all thoughts of violence.
