Without complaining and cursing.

Allow yourself to just be one with your life, which is to accept things as they are and do the best you can in your situations; but do not fear change or be upset about how things turn out to be, detach yourself from expectations and feelings of anxiety.

If you have problems, challenges, things you do not like, then stop complaining about them in your mind and going back and forth trying to control them. The human mind suffers because it is attached to memories and to expectations.

Life’s experiences are for you to live them, but not for you to obsess and fear them; they are meant to bring a lesson to you, whatever that is, and thus you can improve your life and strengthen your mind.

If you complain and say, “My life is hard. My life is terrible. My life is not going anywhere good,” then you are denying yourself the capacity for improvement; because what you say in your mind, your self-talk, will attract better or worse.

Your mind creates your experience of life, how you feel about it; so, make sure you are thankful, positive, without complaining and cursing your experiences.

How to help another.

 

41606024240_5f04b4a35a_b

 

Relationships are what life is–i.e., relationship with yourself and your life, relationship with each experience, relationship with the earth, relationship with another human being, etc.

And when it comes to relationship with another, it can be difficult; so, one thing to remember is that each one of us is different, and require different treatment as our experiences shaped us differently–psychologically, emotionally, physically.

The first impulse of any decent and compassionate person is to help another, but one must always stop the desire rushing in the mind and ask oneself how to properly help; because, as I said before, each one of us requires different treatment.

So, to do this, you must practice the art of quietly observing people, without judging them, without guessing what they feel or think; but just be there, observing, learning about them.

And listen to your intuition.  Most of the time people tend to try to help another in the same way they would help themselves, but we are all different; so we may differ in what we need as well.

Sometimes just listening to intuition is what we need to know how to help another.  Sometimes is easier than what we think it is, because quite often it is about connecting to people by listening and just being there.  Emotional connection is EXTREMELY important to connect with another and so help another.

Sexual Attraction.

 

Have-you-ever-felt-really-close-to-someone-So-close-that-you-can%u2019t-understand-why-you-and-the-other-person-have-two-separate-bodies-two-separate-skins-–-Nancy-Garden

 

So, love and the mind are absolutely different experiences.  The mind creates sexual desire, consuming passion, romance, obsession with your partner to possess her/him.

Love is a very powerful connection to one another, not attraction to a body or an arousal to a desire; but a deep connection which makes you peaceful and not excited, selfless in your thinking and behaving towards another.

Now, as human creatures we know love through the mind, we can access love and the experience of it; however, in order to know and experience love, one must tame the wild mind, control sexual urges and not be obsessed by them, so love can have room in the mind.

If the mind is filled with desires and obsessions, with constant thinking of sex and attachment to another, then love is not known, it does not truly exist in such a mind.  Friendship is what better describes this selfless and unattached, liberating and peaceful phenomenon we call love.

That is how you know if you have true love for your partner, by being selfless, by being not obsessed by your sexual urges, by feeling like a true friend to her/him first.   Friendship, this connection beyond desires, leads one to happiness, to bliss, to harmony in life.

If life and your mind is harmonious, not filled with urges and desires, then your relationships will be harmonious as well.  A sexual attraction which is healthy for the mind is strengthened this way, for both the man and woman.

The basics of understanding.

 

krishnamurti-quotes-2

 

Understanding is really different for each one of us.  Most people think that they understand something when they create their intellectual beliefs and ideologies; but this just creates the illusion of intelligence, of true understanding, and it designs pride in people.

What drives the human being is emotional, which it is to really take whatever you know to heart; furthermore, this emotional drive makes you change, real and immediate change in your life. This is true understanding. True intelligence. True enlightenment.

So, if you intellectually see the truth of being healthy, the truth of not being attached to anything and to anyone, the truth of real patience, it does not mean you understand anything at all.  This does not mean you are intelligent.  Accumulation of knowledge is not intelligence, understanding, or enlightenment.

The ONLY true understanding is change, which is the core of intelligence, which is sheer enlightenment.  Thinking truth is a mere illusion of the ego that you tell yourself in your own vanity, because it does not create true morality in your daily actions.

Now, one who TRULY understands truth is not responsible for another’s understanding or lack of it.  Each one of us is responsible for our own morality or immorality in action.  I am only responsible for myself, for speaking and behaving with truth; and so, I am not responsible for what you or others understand, or do not understand.

Poetry and prose from the heart. Self-help life truths. The free mind of a human god!

The Art of Love.

 

So, love is not what you think, or what you feel, as nice as these can be for you. When you say “I love you,” you are really feeding your own ego, which is okay; however, you must truly understand, love cannot exist in a word, for love is an action, today, now, even if you are upset.  Words of “love” do not have real validity, they only satisfy your ravenous ego.

To truly love is an art that most people, even though they form relationships and satisfy each other, do not seem able to master.  A desire, a passionate feel, a joyful sensation–these are manifestations of thinking, of a thought.  Let me ask you, and be honest with yourself now:  Do you reduce and belittle love to be just a mere satisfying thought…??  If you do, then you do not understand and experience true love, as most unconscious people do not.

“An Infinite Ocean.”

You can study me all you want,
You can mention me all you want,
You can obsess over me all you want;
But only beyond that desire you and I exist.
You must surrender yourself to it to know it.

So, if anyone asks you about the art of love,
And about how to love, and about our love,
Tell them that there exists no spoken love,
That our love is not how the flower looks,
That our love is not what your mind knows.

And if you wonder why the sky is so blue today,
Or why our attraction is so mystically powerful,
Or why you feel this way and you cannot hide it,
Then stop your mind and kiss me on the lips;
For to love me is to love you without thought.

We loved each other long before this thought.
We knew each other long before this poem.
Love is an infinite ocean which exists in us,
The rest is just an unreal agony muddying it;
So, you and I are the ocean without the agony.

A Happy Life Now.

 

5137647-Jiddu-Krishnamurti-Quote-Happiness-is-strange-it-comes-when-you

 

So, what is life…??  Think about it carefully.  Is life what you desire, what you think and feel, what you project in your mind??  Or is life your behaviors, your choices starting from the Now moment??

See, people believe that they understand what life truly is, so they seek success, money, popularity, they get attached to what they desire and project in their minds.  Some others cling themselves to their past experiences, fearing thus repeating them.

Both of these groups of unconscious people live in illusion, such is the illusion of their irrational minds, pursuing happiness, love, seeking success in the future and getting attached to their past experiences.

But life requires your attention now, because it exist in the Now; therefore, not in your mind, and, evidently, not in your expectations of what you want to happen.  Whatever you are experiencing in your life now, start from here, make the best decisions, pay attention and fall in love with your life as it is now.

The pursuit of happiness is an invention of the unconscious masses.  There is nothing to pursue or chase!  Happiness is in putting all positive energy and attention now.  You enjoy it now.  If you cannot experience happiness in your life now, you will not experience it later either.

Aging and your mental garbage.

Brain Aging

 

662-you-cant-help-spiritual-quotes-to-live-by

 

So, most people see themselves aging, wrinkles, losing muscle mass, less energy; and so, they believe that they have to accept this, and so they let themselves go either because they are lazy or because they believe that the mind will age as the body.

But they feel old and aging, losing youth and becoming depressed at this, not because of the passing of time but because of their irrational and immoral belief.  To respect and love yourself is to really ponder this, and take the necessary steps every day to become healthier, sharper, more open-minded.

Aging is really a gift from life, and you only experience this as a gift if you take care of yourself.  Do you have extra body fat which invites illness and weakens your immune system??  And what about eating the wrong foods and quantities, thus making your ability to think slower, duller, close-minded??

Why would somebody intelligent age this way, unhealthily, immorally, as an insult to yourself and as a bad example to others…??  The excuse of having no time is your excuse, isn’t it??  When you develop true love, respect, illumination, then you see beyond all these pitiful excuses.

But when will YOU see the truth about life, you keep aging but you never see it.  Why??  Life is your chance to see this, so make sure you get rid of the mental garbage which does not let you see it.

Better than a lover can.

 

quotes-about-love-friendship

 

So, love, that force which connects us all, the essence which makes us at some deep level realize that we all know each other from before, is a given; however, it is the mind of likes and dislikes the one that separates us and finds excuses to believe that we do not belong together.

So, when it comes to romantic feelings, our minds choose to see the negativity or the positivity in the relationship.  The behaviors of a person could bring either that negativity or positivity as well, but we choose if to give those behaviors real importance or not.  And it is a very personal decision.

Still, one must be able to keep the mind of likes and dislikes in peace and clear from any anger and anxiety in order to judge if to forgive those behaviors or not.  Most of the time, people tend to jump to conclusions and judge immaturely and impulsively, without patience, without stepping back and observing the whole picture.

To do this, to step back, breathe and calm yourself in order to make the right decisions, one must be not just the significant other, the lover, but also the friend who understands and supports.  Friendship, unattached and understanding, is vital to make any relationship work, specially a romantic one.

A friend can see your flaws and weaknesses and understand you better than a lover can.  A friend cares enough to sit down quietly and listen without judging you.  A friend gives you the space and the time you need to develop yourself intellectually and emotionally.

Free from illusions.

 

Copy-of-dalai-lama-on-death-1

 

Why belief??  Believing in yourself is absolutely different, evidently.  But ideas about the future, trust in books that your mind claims as holy, this obsession with the words of others who are proclaimed saints and/or “learned.”

And not to mention stupid trust and obedience of traditions, cultural history and ideologies.  You might be old in age, but you do not have to remain attached to this nonsense.

Or you might be young and full of knowledge and fantastical ideas from other people, from gurus, from books, and from your own imagination even; however, you want to see the truth and awake, but beliefs are not the way–beliefs are what keep you asleep and ignorant or unwise.

A healthy mind is an empty mind, which is not actually empty; but it is indeed empty of any attachments to beliefs, ideas, traditions, cultures.  In order to know yourself and ALL existence, you must empty yours from any attachment whatsoever.

It is your own mind after all, and it shows you your life based upon its content.  If all you have in your mind are beliefs, traditions, attachments to ideas and philosophies, then you will live in this illusion created by the attachment to all this.

Free yourself from the illusions you carry.  Practice an empty mind, such mind is fresh, insightful, open-minded, young no matter your age, wise and ready to accept any change and new idea.

A creative and intelligent mind.

 

Creativity, or the essence of creativity, what fuels the creative process, is not of the busy mind or of the ego; but it comes from beyond that, and in order to tap into it, or in order to access it, one must quiet the mind.  And how do you quiet the mind…??

By observing an introspective or meditative life, a life that is not always busy and noisy, in an environment which offers calm and focus.  When the environment and the body surrender to this quietude as a daily practice, then the brain alters, changes its structure and functioning, and so it access this creative essence easily.

This creative essence is intelligence, it is the purity beyond the noise of the mind, to thus understand life and yourself.  Because that is what intelligence truly is:  Creativity in its purest essence, not only to create art, but to understand life at a deeper level.

The anxious and stressed mind, frustrated and busy, cannot access this pure creativity; for what fills it escapes harmony and calmness, and in doing so creates a psychological environment of pure suffering.  And how can intelligence live in this hostile environment…??
