Between Heaven and Hell.

 

index

What creates our experiences in life is our very minds.  The pain of your divorce, the relived tragedies of painful memories, the feelings of not being good enough, the anxiety when you do not have such and such money, the itching desire for possessing somebody, etc.–it is all your mind.

You may, of course, create your own ignorant excuses of why you feel what you feel–i.e., they make me feel like that, I have an inherited mental disease so I am depressed, I am not rich or have a great job so I constantly feel worthless, I am physically unattractive and nobody wants me, my nation’s politics keeps me violent and agitated, etc.

But, you see, by attaching yourself to all these excuses you are feeding the fire, you are increasing the suffering and anxiety, because you are fighting your own struggles, you are denying how you think and feel and labeling it as something wrong to feel, as something evil.  You are saying it is wrong, or even wicked, to feel like that.

In a way of speaking, you are creating demons, you are creating hell, you are creating your own suffering and neglect.  You are doing the opposite of acceptance here.  Can you take a few seconds and ponder this…??

You must accept all that appears in your mind and all that which you feel, ALL of it; for accepting it is welcoming it, which is like making friends with it, making friends with that part of yourself you do not like but respect now.

This psychological behavior of acceptance begins a transmutation in you, because now you are assimilating and absorbing that which you did not like before, so you get to create it and deal with it under your own terms; otherwise, it is just God and The Devil always fighting in your mind, and this struggle brings you your own hellish experience.

The struggle in your mind between what you currently are and what you should be, or want to be, is what breaks you into fragments, and the fragments are what makes you suffer and feel worthless or like you are not living a happy life.

A very personal decision.

 

Thoughts2-777x437

 

For thought to manifest, to create beauty out of ugliness, to attract wealth out of poverty, to bring health out of an unhealthy body, you need higher intelligence, higher projections of imagination.

Animals do not have this.  Plants do not have it.  They are literal, what you see is what you get.

But in our human existence, the ugliest man can make the most beautiful woman fall in love with him, the unhealthiest person can become the healthiest one, the poorest person can become the richest, the dullest individual can become highly intellectual and talented, etc. etc.

All these accomplishments and more are manifestations or creations of our higher minds, of higher imaginations to be more precise; hence, humankind has been gifted with higher states of imagination, so what we imagine, without fear and with divine patience, we can manifest throughout our lives.

Evidently, it not only takes imagination but our own effort; therefore, we have been given the most powerful tool to build, but we must use it properly and without obstacles to building–i.e., without fears in our minds.

And it is funny that the same powerful tool given to us also brings the most powerful enemy into us, fear.  So we may create better futures for ourselves or we may destroy our futures by the same power, namely Imagination.

 

And it is a very personal decision though. 

Question is:  How would you use it…??

The Way I must Go.

 

It can be frustrating and daunting to make up one’s mind amidst important life decisions, and it can be truly difficult when drowning in one’s sorrow and confusion in such moments; however, one must remind oneself that no matter how difficult the situation there is always a way to see light and get rid of anxiety.

It is one’s mind the one which gets clouded and confused, drowning in situations and claiming that there is no solution; so, it is one’s mind then the one to be explored and pacified, so that we may become harmony and clarity to create better experiences even in the midst of sorrows and challenges.


“The way I must go”

I met in life situations of thick mud
And I felt lost, filled with deep rage,
Going nowhere, stuck and sad.
Was there in my life another page…??

So I made mistakes quite often,
Paid dearly for each one of those;
But the very falls I tried to soften,
Still my blind mind was full of woes.

But in truth mud is water and dirt,
All nature to help the flower grow;
However I be stubborn and curt,
It is past my ego the way I must go.

I shall be remembering this memory,
Ages and ages to come in my path;
The lessons gave me always energy,
Even though I suffered them a lot.

Learning from imperfections.

 

Survival is competition, isn’t it…??  I mean, survival means struggle, it means I will beat you and be better than you, it means I will come up ahead in an argument or in this or that.

And that is why surviving never brings happiness or love to anyone and, of course, not to any relationship. 

When people desire to live together, get along with each other, enjoy life and enjoy themselves together, survival instinct has to be replaced by a mentality of pure love to understand and accept each other.

It is a given that no person is the same as the other, people are different, minds and feelings are diverse.  It doesn’t matter how similar their minds and lifestyles are, they indeed have differences in some aspect of life and living.

So, your mind has to be prepared to accept and love, to understand the meaning of your relationship with another, whether a family member or a romantic partner, whether a friend or a neighbor who just moved. 

This is the pathway towards learning in life.

 

quote-the-true-way-and-the-sure-way-to-friendship-is-through-humility-being-open-to-each-other-mother-teresa-85-39-57

And to learn from one another you must appreciate one another, such being appreciating the differences of one another.  This does not mean absolutely loving every aspect of the other person, but it does mean accepting and respecting the other person entirely, even when you do not agree in something together.

 

No one is perfect, but we can still learn from imperfections.

The Miraculous Birth.

 

52736790_639223733177659_9210341737438904320_n

 

What is to be free and a better human being…??  And what is to be spiritual…??  And what is to be highly conscious in life…?? 

They are the same, even though ignorance in the world, beginning by religions, tell you differently.

Being spiritual has no relation with The Bible or with any religion or “sacred” text.  Being spiritual is something that you carry inside, whether you are a saint or a murderer; however, to experience that intelligence, goodness or spirituality that you are, you must focus on creating it in your mind, or in becoming conscious/aware of it.

Hitler was not aware of it.  Pedophiles, even “religious” ones, are not aware of it.  Trump is not aware of it.  Many people are not aware of it, because they allow their environments and activities to reveal a “spiritual identity.”

So, people reads The Bible.  Or go to their damned churches.  Or listen to Sadhguru or any other.  And this means they are spiritual and conscious…??

Being spiritual, conscious, aware, is about integrity, morals and ethics through your daily behaviors, because exactly this changes your inner state, your mental state to a liberated and heavenly state–i.e., a state in which you create yourself and your life due to your higher integrity.

And that is when the superior human being is born, the intelligent creature who feels whole and does not lean or seeks his identity in his environment–in his religion, in his so-called “sacred” texts, in his lies and beliefs.

The greatest miracle in life is indeed to realize this and become integrity in all you do–i. e., realize that by eating meat you help kill the environment, realize that any lie tears relationships apart, realize that religions cannot bring salvation or truth, realize that love is not a desire, realize that all politics are games of power, realize that society will change when you start by changing yourself, realize that you are responsible for all that happens to you, etc. etc.

What you owe to yourself.

 

expressing-feelings-and-emotions-3-vital-reasons-for-letting-your-feelings-out-13-728

I knew someone who used to keep how he really felt bottled up inside, he was filling himself with all these unexpressed feelings and thoughts; but at some point he would feel overwhelmed due to all this toxic storage deep inside, and so like a balloon with too much air he would end up bursting into anger and anxiety.

This system of behavior was really bad for his own character development, for his mind and his overall health; and, furthermore, this really damaged his relationships and destroyed greater opportunities in life–i.e., his financial and societal opportunities, as his understanding of family values and tolerance of himself and of others.

And the worst, he would lose it whenever he would burst into these unexpressed emotions, his mind would get so angry and anxious that all love and understanding would leave him.  He would lose himself in that moment.

He would really hate himself afterwards though, because he was a really nice guy with really lots of love buried deep to share with others.  He just did not know the right way to share this love.

And this can happen to any of us, if there is no self-awareness.  Self-awareness means in this case to know that you must express yourself to free yourself.

You have to share your thoughts and feelings with people; do not keep them inside just because you think they are negative or because you think people won’t like to hear them.

Be honest, but not cruel.  Transform your words and feelings accurately into direct truth.  Speak your mind, be firm in your personal convictions and loyal to yourself.  You owe that much to yourself.

And you also owe that much to others if you want to walk the ethics-and-morals path, and if you want your character to develop mightily in your life.

Before the womb.

 

Consciousness moves like passive air beyond the realm of matter.  I can see it with my inner eye.  It is filled by a kind of IN-formation and conscious energy, it is one and both at the same time. Darkness and light are contained in it, and yet they are not.

As the biological environment inside the mother prepares itself to form physical life and the womb adapts itself accordingly, Consciousness enters and allows its in-formation to direct its conscious energy to thus begin the process of ephemeral life.

And so the fetus grows.  And the heart connects to Consciousness, and some small biological awareness initiates, and it develops further.  And then, much later, there is a baby.  The egg hatches and the baby comes to know the world outside the mother.

But as the baby grows and learns about physical life, he also creates an ego; so, the content of his mind pulls him to one extreme or the other.  He grows attached.  He might develop healthily and appropriately, but he lacks balance.  He develops an emptiness he does not feel until he matures later in life.

He might not recognize his own emptiness, even though he is a full adult now.  Subconsciously he has many problems, many programs running him, many issues with himself and with the world in which he lives.  So, what does he do…??

He becomes restless, seeks meaningless relationships, seeks unhealthy foods, becomes a hypocrite, grows prideful, does drugs, parties a lot, judges others but not himself, and more nonsense he creates out of his massive, anxious ego.  But he does this because he starts to consciously notice his own emptiness coming up to the surface, nagging him without rest.

 

He either destroys himself or re-creates himself. 

He either continues dying spiritually or begins awakening himself.  

He either keeps buried his life before the womb or he remembers his life before the womb.

The truth of who he is then, is found in his life before the womb.

Acts of care.

Enjoyment - free happy woman enjoying sunset. Beautiful woman in white dress embracing the golden sunshine glow of sunset with arms outspread and face raised in sky enjoying peace, serenity in nature

 

To do everything in love is to deny access to your mind to thoughts of negativity and complaint, to avoid the rule of dark and nagging feelings.  In order to enjoy each moment, one must seek acts of care–acts in which you can put your whole energy and carry them out without frustration and stress.

Loving yourself and your behaviors because you have integrity and you bring out integrity is what matters in life, so you may create better opportunities and better futures for yourself and for others.

 


“Acts of care“

Were I a flower to be beauty without fears!
Were I the wind to know life without binds!
What if I were love to exist without tears??
What if you and I stopped telling great lies.

For to find meaning is to seek acts of care,
For in care there is the beautiful flower.
I have seen the immortal beauty to share,
Beyond the petty excuses which devour.

Nearer and sweeter this music draws;
The music in my acts of love expands.
In this one moment I meet Universal Law,
As my moral behavior heavenly stands.

All Nature responds to the eternal call;
The call which carries my attention here.
My behavior of integrity brings it to all;
Anxiety and fear in morals do disappear.51914351_632834247149941_8022915865735331840_n

Stronger.

 

inspirational-quote-keep-rising-ENTITY-800x720

 

Life is full of lessons and opportunities.  Lessons can bring us growth in every aspect, if we allow the lessons to do such a thing in our experience, if we do indeed see past the frustration and the suffering in order to learn.

And, if we see past the anger and frustration, the anxiety and the pain we feel at times, we may then absorb the lesson, master ourselves slowly with each new experience; hence, we grow and we encounter better opportunities to be and acquire more, to feel happier, to be more successful in every aspect.

But, of course, this is not automatic and fast, you must develop the divine trait of patience; for patience gives you determination, commitment, wisdom in life.  He who has infinite patience can know true love and happiness; because infinite patience allows your mind time to see and find this within you.

And wisdom is needed, absolutely, because in life you have challenges at each step you take, you have temptations offering you what you desire if you have less moral values and ethical behaviors, you have anger and neglect from others around you, you have many things with which you have to deal every day.

And if you fall into temptation or if you commit a mistake, you must keep on going and seek truth, get back to the right path and endure some more; however, you have to be always prepared mentally to stand alone and firm, to be your own person, accept your weaknesses and the things in your character in which you must improve.

 

In order to see and walk life with wisdom, you must be patient and accept your life as it is, transform yourself slowly into a better, stronger person and soon you will turn things around and improve your life as well.

That which makes you light up.

 

How would you find that which makes you unique…??  How would you define your specific purpose…??  Don’t say “My purpose, what makes me unique is to be love and be happy.”  Everybody says that.  And don’t even think of saying “My purpose, my destiny is to get married, have kids, and be a grandma or grandpa.”

That is not your specific value or purpose, that is not what you must find as an individual; for life is YOUR journey to discover yourself, something which makes you unique as a human being.  So, what is it that makes you unique specifically…??

Being love, being happy, being successful as an individual, does not have anything to do with society’s designs–i.e., with college, money, religion, marriage, philosophies you have read and follow, etc.  Although, this is what they teach famously in societies today.  “Discover yourself and your life by following the paths which are common and which we offer,” they say.

Thus, people become followers, they arrange their lives around a set of beliefs and ideas, and they become like everyone else, drones, robots, computer programs; however, in their enslaved minds they believe they are indeed unique and especial.  But, of course, they become one with sheep without knowing it.

I am talking about the mind much more than a mere activity out there.  The human mind is the tool you must use to inquire and find out what makes you especial, unique, of individual value; and you must discover yourself every day, discover the ways you become better, explore your talents and skills.

All measuring to higher and higher ethics and morals.  This is how you are love and happiness, by discovering this in yourself daily; hence, this process of discovery looking within you makes you stand out and be a true individual.

So you become wiser about yourself and about where you are going in life.  So you create yourself and stop following the crowd, and thus you find your uniqueness to shine in your very character in whatever you think and feel, and even in whatever you do in the world.
