No Right or Wrong

Darling, the way I love is not the way you love, and that is what makes it exciting and new. Just know that without the excitement and the new, you will slowly lose beauty and wither. And keep those hidden and unique dreams alive.

Don’t drown out your fantasies. Don’t drown out your dreams. Gift those feelings your full attention, instead of allowing what is proper, or right, or expected in society to dictate your present, your actions, your future.

No one is a full saint. No one is a full devil. Understand that love, beauty, happiness, and the joy of an exciting and well-lived life is based on balance, not on extremes. Seek whatever, and whomever, inspires balance in you.

There is no right or wrong way. There are only opinions, philosophies, rules, thoughts and beliefs on what is better, on what is good, on what is the best for you. Ignore all of it, as if you were a newborn learning about yourself, about life.

The secret rests on your capacity to bloom, at your own pace, in your own way; because each flower and its fragrance is unique, and so are you. Darling, the way I love is not the way you love, and that is what makes it exciting and new.

What is it then??

Is the passion still there…??

So, a little bit of honesty. Being and remaining in love goes beyond passion and desire. Sometimes people who have been together for years say that the passion is just not there anymore.

But true love is about transmutation really. It’s about transforming the flaws you see, the negativity you feel, the boredom in life, the frustration you feel regarding the other person and the relationship.

What’s the issue here…??

It’s a very intimate and unique process, which is why many people fail at it. When you fail at it, obviously your ego seeks someone to blame. To avoid the hurt, you blame the other person.

But it’s truly a self-awareness issue. The love you feel, or the lack of it. The happiness you feel, or the lack of it. It is all your doing, in your mind, which might be a harsh truth to you.

So, what to do…??

But to feel loved, to love somebody else, and to feel happiness; it is all a choice you can make daily if you keep the attention on you, regardless of the events and people around you. So, love is not the issue in your life, or in the world.

The capacity for self-awareness in the individual indeed is the issue. So, don’t try to fall in love or to find happiness; but, instead, seek to pay attention to yourself in an intimate way. Seek, and enhance, your self-awareness.

True freedom

What is true freedom…??

Keeping the peace in your mind is the most important thing you can do in your life. A calm mind brings trust, insight, confidence, self-control, great creativity, the capacity for great joy, and it helps you stay grounded and see new possibilities.

Facing life can be daunting, it can make you insecure, it can bring you overwhelming overthinking. And freedom is not really in more money, a great relationship, a religion, or anything else. Freedom is the capacity to create your own joy, in your own mind, without any influence from the exterior.

This sounds easy to comprehend, and it is. Not so easy to apply in your own mind, every day, without excuses. Still, if you really think about it, it is crucial to feel love, happiness, and reach success in life. A peaceful mind leads you to make less mistakes, and it leads you to accept yourself, others, life, and all experience as it is. That is true freedom.

Being in Love

So, why not ‘Being in Love’ instead of ‘Falling in Love’?? Falling in love there is a chance you may also fall out. Whatever you fear, makes you feel shy, or anxious in any way, has also the capacity to strengthen you, make you feel accomplished and joyful. It’s all in your mental approach.

Denial of the fear, trying to escape how you feel, distracting yourself while ignoring the signs. All this closes your mind, makes you stubborn, does not help you feel better, and so love becomes a distant thing you chase.

So, what do you do?? You become your own detective. You stay with yourself, observe yourself, what thoughts you have and how they come and go. You become aware of the self-pity you carry, the fear, the excitement, and all the anxiety (good or bad).

You don’t do anything about it. Just be present in the details. Soon, just by observing, you’ll find out how silly and ridiculous all your doubts and fears were. You’ll figure out that you have created this pessimistic world in your mind.

And when you become aware then, your mind expands; and you love more, and feel more capable, and see your true value. And now you are finally becoming awake for the 1st time. And, as you know yourself like this, you start understanding people, the world, and why things happen the way they happen.

Two Become One

What is a Given

In this life, nothing external is a given. You never know what will happen, or how it will happen. It’s important to know that your mind, your desires, your wants are not facts for the future.

But there is something in you that is a given, if you allow yourself to discover it. This something has always been there, in you, even when you felt hurt and lost for so many years.

What is Wholeness

And it is something that has to be separated from all the influence coming from the exterior–from your family, from your religion, from your philosophies, from the dreams and machinations of your own ego, etc.

A person, doesn’t matter how sweet and nice, cannot be whole if there is fear, or doubt, or any obstacle in your mind stopping self-discovery. To discover yourself is to free yourself from the chains of society, of the world.

What is Infinite Intelligence

You may see and feel yourself flowering when you fall in love. Truly in love, without desperation, without anxiety, without fear of rejection. Only then, when you find yourself, you may find someone else in the same path.

And so, now you can be 100% sure is true love. This is to truly discover yourself in another, not just due to attraction; but due to the Infinite Intelligence awakened in you, which is called Oneness/Wholeness/Two that become One.

The exploration

When there is true love

When there is true love, there is a way. Where there is true love, you transform your fears into great possibilities.

When there is true love, you seek no excuses for change. When there is true love, you open yourself to the mystery and to the new that lies ahead.

All about mindset

Love must be an exploration in you, something that gives you freedom from the chains of the past, from the chains of old habits and traditions, from the chains of self-victimization and prejudice.

You cannot change everything in your life. You cannot control everything around you. But you can choose to love, because love gives you a positive and optimistic mindset, because that is what you need to attract better things into your life.

What changes you

Everything has a ripple effect. Kindness and compassion, that feeling born from choosing to see the positive and the good side of things. This will change you.

This will change the way you see and experience your life. This will transform you into a magnet for better things. Through patience, faith and commitment all is accomplished.

A New Way

The easy path

It’s easy to remain the victim. It’s easy to harden your heart. It’s easy to hold on to the pain, the sorrow, and to the injustice of the past. It’s easier to lock yourself and hide from what’s new and unknown to you.

Because you instinctively seek self-preservation, don’t you?? Yes, the mind has a way to seek the easy path, to stay on what you know, and to mask your pain. It is a vicious cycle that consumes you and your life.

The discovery

Unless you break that cycle and take off your mask by welcoming the unknown into your life. That’s how you evolve, progress, and discover yourself. You cannot do it by choosing to stay safe in your cocoon.

Love, if true, is a discovery. It moves you from within. Then it moves you from without, in your choices, in your actions. It moves you to do new things, to challenge yourself, to create a new path that may scare you a bit.

The Courage that comes…

Yes, a new life that you, deep inside, really want but feels overwhelming right now. And it is why true love, true happiness, requires courage. This courage comes not from analyzing and thinking obsessively.

No, this courage comes from new choices, new actions, from letting go of your past, letting go of the fear, letting go of the intellectual persona you always adopt to mask your pain.

A new mind

Letting go you discover so much more about yourself, about who you really are. Believe me, nothing is as beautiful as freedom. To be able to let go and not take yourself and that pain you carry so seriously all the time.

The truth is that your mind is useless if it is allowed to hold on to memories, because discovering a new life, a new love, requires a new mind, a new mindset. So, open your mind and your heart to the mystery, to the unknown, to the new in life.

Your own cage

Freedom

Think about this. Think freely, without crutches or bias. After all, freedom is what matters in this life. Without it, obviously, you are just living a lie, pretending just to fit in, disrespecting yourself and losing yourself. In losing yourself, you distance yourself from you and from what you seek.

People that feel like they need to hide the truth, lie, cheat, pretend, have no freedom. They desperately seek it, through sex, through many ideology groups, through exaggerated romantic gestures; but this is their cage, over and over again.

Purpose

And they never understand why it is their cage. They certainly fail at life. And they fail because life is only a period created in existence to discover your humanity, your mind, your heart. That is the only true purpose of life.

That purpose being an inner discovery, and the rest is just a choice, thrilling or not, to play games created by your own anxiety. The anxiety that comes from not understanding life’s purpose and why you have a mind and a body.

Games

Who gave you the mind and the body you have?? How to use them to find that freedom/that love and happiness you seek?? How to create your purpose and leave a legacy on this earth??

The games of the mind brought by your anxiety. Games that make you act out. Sometimes you’re the victim of another anxious person who plays games. Sometimes you’re the anxious one playing these games on another, maybe without knowing.

Everybody wants to take a look in the mirror and learn/better themselves/leave the games for the sake of a better humanity. But most never do, keep failing and failing. In order to not fail though, obviously, you have to actually change the way you do things–the small, day-to-day things. So, think about what this actually means.

Finding Balance

Balance

What do women (the feminine) bring to the world?? Perhaps beauty, inspiration, empathy, patience, hope, creativity, etc. What do men (the masculine) bring to the world?? Perhaps Stubbornness, ideals, ambition, impulsiveness, courage, etc.

Imagine a world without women–a world lacking those traits. Imagine a world without men–a world lacking those traits. If we really think about it, without our own pride getting in the way, they both bring balance to each other.

Details

Although one can seem much more important than the other. But is it?? Nothing is perfect. No one is perfect. Each one of us carries influence from another, from a man, from a woman.

The devil is in the details. God too. Watch your own thoughts, your own way of thinking, your own behaviors and habitual ways. Find out who you are and why you may hold and carry grudges from your past, from other persons–whether men or women.

Freedom

So many mental distortions and illnesses are born from not knowing who we really are. Childhood traumas or influences seep into our unknown psyches (subconscious), then come out in our known psyches (conscious).

Freedom, the capacity to experience happiness and love. This comes only to us if we are absolutely honest with ourselves. I’m talking about that self-exploration that goes beyond the opinions, ideas, influences, and “prescriptions” society offers us to keep us subservient.

Questioning

Subservient because, the way society is formed, it all runs on profit. Financial profit. Religious profit. It is all about mental (emotional) manipulation disguised as freedom, as love, as happiness.

So, what happens?? The weak-minded, the ones who lack that self-exploration, chase, and chase, and chase what they offer. The pursuit of happiness. Without ever questioning. But is there really freedom in this prison??

The One Bad Habit

So much of it

And why is it…? ? Over and over again. So much thinking, pondering, trying to resolve, demanding ourselves to know why it isn’t working. Most of our lives is spent like this. Most of the time we are not even aware of this damaging habit.

Damaging habit because it stresses us, it might make us create false scenarios in our heads. Then negative feelings, depression, doubt, self-victimization. These make our lives seem like a burden, like something that cannot be changed. I’ve been there. You’ve been there.

But it’s about listening

It is not really nature to fall for this trick, this programming of the mind, instead of listening to intuition, to the buried voices of nourishment, hope and positivity that we all have deep inside.

It’s easy to listen to intuition when everything goes as expected in your life though. It’s not that easy when events deviate from what we want, right?? So, this is the challenge we all face. Look at it as a marathon, not a race.

And it is always there

Don’t rush yourself. Take your time. Forgive yourself. We all make mistakes. The key is to go back and remind ourselves to become aware, to stay aware. Each time, like this, we strengthen this muscle of the mind, like we can strengthen a muscle in the body by repetition.

And so, that is how intuition is strengthened, by slowly and patiently getting rid of the clutter in your mind, by weakening the programming/the habit of the mind of overthinking. The power is always there, just buried deep under intellectual layers that make us question our own capacities to feel accomplished and happy.
