The magical journey…

self-transformation.jpg

So, there are thoughts in you which drive you to make bad choices, mistakes, to feel bad, to feel worthless, to design all sorts of fear-based behaviors.  We all have these, of course; otherwise, physical existence, matter formation, the pursuit of the better life here wouldn’t be accessible to us or even of value.

We learn from these thoughts, we either raise ourselves above them or die with them by slow self-destruction.  That is the great and wonderful challenge we all face, isn’t it…??

Imagine if all you had all the time were constantly perfect, blissful, inspiring, clean thoughts.  This would mean no ignorance exists in your mind, this would mean no duality signs, and this would mean no challenges and no opportunity to become a better person, no darkness to give birth to light.  Would you find value in this perfect scenario…??

So, let us reach freedom, which indeed can be reached, even though perfection in thoughts cannot be.  Freedom is the liberation of your consciousness from the imbalance of your ego.  Because obviously the ego (the content of your mind) serves a true purpose in shaping your consciousness and put it to good use in this physical experience, to create physical reality.

But the problem is when the ego has no balance, then it happens that consciousness remains trapped in a polluted mind which is filled by ignorance and darkness, which brings us confusion, fear, depression.

And this imbalance of the ego occurs due to our daily thoughts, which are influenced by the energy in foods, by the things we allow ourselves to watch, by the people and the environments given our attention, etc. etc.

These negative energies enslave our minds, trap our consciousness behind steel bars of much ego activity which distorts our reality; so, this takes one to make bad choices, and to commit serious mistakes, and to fall prey of fears and miseries in life.  The whole journey of life must be then to raise oneself above all this.

No escape…

34ad1c754ae06b76427b3c707c792920

 

There is no escape, because all you think, feel, experience, even things which annoy you in life, is your own mind, your own intolerance and self-designed suffering; thus, everything happens in your mind, so escaping in any way is pointless, it all comes back to you–especially memories and all life’s problems.

Transformation from one sensation, way of thinking, feel, experience, into another one which begets positive vibration, positive experiences in you, is what you must do.  Transformation from within is to create yourself; so, a better you who does not seek a pointless escape from life.

And so many people try to distract themselves from themselves, from their deep feelings and experiences, that it has become “natural” for them to avoid unpleasant feelings and even responsibilities in their lives by seeking pointless entertainments, drugs, alcohol, overeating, relationships, group activities, travels, etc. etc.

They all seek some form of escape either from themselves or from their current lives, not knowing or realizing that this ignorant process only adds to the emptiness and annoyance they feel.

Everything that annoys you or makes you uncomfortable about your life or about yourself, indeed, is there to stay whether you like it or not; however, transmutation or transformation is the internal process of change and creation to reach that peace and harmony you might seek–which you definitely need to love yourself, your experience, and your life.

All origins are born within you, and all can be mended and created from within you.  Your life and everything you experience in it is born from within you, so you must remain aware of this and create or transform, build or fix from within you.

 

No escape, but transformation.

Beyond what you know…

index
So many people get lost in the translation of books, scriptures, revolutionary ideas, philosophies; thereby, their minds become so filled with these influences that they fall trap of what these man-made ideologies are artificially creating in them.   The mind gets lost in words and strict rules, in strategies of belief and dogmas; and so, the person becomes attached to these forms of mechanical worship.

For example, Christians put Jesus Christ on a pedestal, he is The Lord for them, worship him like he is some superior being.  But how many of those so-called “Christ-ians” are really following his very example of loving all beings, of being tolerant, of kindness, of faith, of forgiveness, and the rest…??

How many Christians have become truly Enlightened like the Jesus they praise so much…??  Many Christians support wars, kill others, beat their spouses, commit crimes, hate, lie, pollute their own bodies, etc. etc.

Or how many Buddhists, or Mohammedans, are illumined like these great prophets of Light were…??  Be honest with yourself about this.  It is about you, so see beyond your ego and your fanaticism.

People gets deviated and confused by their own egos, by their own misguided understanding of the scriptures and of all books.  What about the inner compass of each human creature for superior moral and ethics…??

There is no awakening, there is no spiritual being if you do not see past the scriptures, books, ideologies, and feel your heart and do what is right–not for your ego and mere pleasure, or to fit with some group, but for your own character as a moral and ethical human being.

The world will not change unless the person becomes an individual, and sees and behaves morally and ethically superior than the representation of his own ego, which means being love and not following the influence of books, people, and groups.

The heart, without the ego, knows what is right; however, the ego seeks outside because it doesn’t desire the path of truth–so it distances itself from truth.

The Mind of Love.

love-looks-not-with-the-eyes-but-with-the-mind..jpg

 

Love is not man-made or a design of thought, but we must nurture it in our minds as well; and so in order to become understanding and experience its divine essence, its divine origins. To truly love ourselves, and another as well.

The intellect is ruled by concepts, philosophies, beliefs, opinions; therefore, all may form obsessions, stubbornness, goals. This can be good or bad for the evolution of our humanity; but it can certainly never be true love, for the intellect cannot know true love.

So, our minds must see beyond the intellect, beyond personal egos, to actually allow access to true love, to true connection from The Divine into the crudeness of our humanity, into the crudeness of our minds.

From there, it is all a question of keeping the intellect away from love.

 

The Mind of Love


O, the Mind of Love is gone from man!
Its divine grace and magic trampled.
How do I fly to the heights of heaven
When the intellect has stolen my wings …??
Just know the Father in God is wisdom,
And know the Mother in God is true love;
Both must be One Soul of Light in me,
As my being becomes freedom’s dove.

To rend a hundred veils and just be,
To do away with society and the world,
To acquire liberation from goals of “I”–
This is The Mind of Love of the lovers.
Within a silent mind, beyond petty time;
Within a simple gaze, the whole universe:
It is how The Mind of Love exists truly,
It is how our lives remain a poetic verse.

Fly Freely.

 

e63b9cabfd01b7444c12a9cefbeb4c29

 

Too many preoccupations and frustrations, too much anger and feelings of hurt; therefore, a great weight keeping people down and unable to be free of burden.

And in order to do with bliss and positive attitude, one must be free of burden.  This is a must, there is no other way around it but to get rid of all baggage–whether it be friendships, family ties, past memories, and whatever keeps you in psychological and emotional chains.

Fly freely

What lies out of anger and sorrow…??
Have you ever tried to find out??
There is no death more than this,
Trapped in one’s heated world,
Obsessed by one’s disappeared bliss.

Who is the conscious man…??
The fool reasons in the storm,
Like the pig wallows in its mud;
But conscience is not in the storm,
Because the fool remains mad.

Gods admire the bird’s passion
When it flies through the blue skies,
The one the fool lost in his sickness
Because he banished his own wings–
Is it worth, I ask, to live in bitterness…??

When one’s thought is calmed,
There is no anger and sorrow;
As there appears wings to fly free,
As harmony appeases the storm,
There the mind with angels be.

Fire of life.

Do you know in your life what truly does not serve you…??  Are you honestly working on transforming it…??

As Prometheus came down and brought humanity fire from the gods, we all have it in us to forge ourselves and transform our lives, in order to transmute darkness into light, weakness into strength, and self-doubt into confidence.

But you must take the time and look within, stop seeking and wallowing in your situations; for if you give attention to what is outside you give fuel to the same, but if you focus on transforming yourself from within then you are fueling your inner experience to create a better experience in your outside.

Everyone’s worried about their lives, but no one seeks the origin of the same.  When a building has structural problems, the builder or engineer must look at the foundations, the inner walls, and to whatever originates everything.  And so must be with life itself, and the foundation of life is what you cannot see, which lies inside you.

 

Success, love, bliss, harmony can be reached, reconciled in your daily affairs; but you must go to the foundations and strengthen there, otherwise you are just patching the outer walls instead of reinforcing the base of it all.

A contagious connection.

The music we listen, the people around us, the things we watch, the situations in which we take part, as is the foods we ingest–it all gets introduced into us, it soon becomes a part of us for better or for worse.

Quite often you desire to be with a particular person, or be in certain situations, or to eat something you like, or so on and so forth; but this is your ego, your mind’s content, and it might not be wise for your own well-being to follow these cravings without questioning them further.

You must always remember that everything which enters your mind and body, anything which enters via your physical senses, is energy that will become who you are as a person–regarding your intelligence, your wisdom, your mental health, your understanding, and all that which is your physical composition.

You must choose wisely, putting aside your ego or your simple desires; and you must choose wisely the time and energy you give to the people with whom you engage.  It is not easy most of the time to choose the people in your life, like family for example; but as a mature adult you can indeed choose the conversations or activities to which you give your time.

It is about your mind and its content, and not about pleasing others or even pleasing your own ego; for it is about your maturity to choose better, which is the connection to your Higher Self.  Do not make excuses for this; for, if you do, you are just harming yourself and distancing from self-love and wisdom.  Avoid stress, frustration, sickness, and problems galore, by focusing on the right energies for your own personal growth.

Find the hidden miracle.

Future love, future happiness, future freedom–these do not exist more than just imaginations and machinations of your ego.  “I will be thankful when I have this.”  “I am so close to being happy.”  “A little more work and I’ll achieve my goal.”  These and more are false manifestation of our ego.

Life is now and it is to enjoy now, not to suffer for what you do not have or have lost and want to recuperate.  Accept your life as it is now, whether your ego labels it pleasant or unpleasant; and enjoy what you have now, do not follow dreams and neither fall into memories of past losses.

If you do not accept your life as it is now, then you will suffer more anxiety and live on psychological suffering, which will manifest on physical suffering as illnesses.  There are people in the world who are homeless and have less than you; but they still live happily in the moment day by day.  There are people in the world who have lost more than you and have suffered much more than you; but they, nevertheless, do not allow depression to bring them down.

 

Now, this is wisdom; to celebrate your life each day, each moment, because life is now.  So, whatever you lost, you lost.  Whatever is gone, is gone.  And whatever will be, will be.  Learn to wisely live with it.

  But, do you know what is under your control…?? Do you know what builds your experience of love and happiness…?? The wisdom is Now, the happiness is Now, the choices are Now; so, however you choose to live your life, remind yourself that there is only Now.

So, you must find the joy, the good side of things now, whatever you experience seek in there something good; for there is ALWAYS something, for he is wise who finds the hidden joy in the moment.  Find the hidden miracle.

Maturing into…

Understanding cannot happen in any relationship until the “need” for winning and controlling, for trying to change someone and criticizing that same someone, is gone from your mind.  The ego in ourselves always wants to control, show off, intimidate, and compete; however, this is exactly what destroys a relationship, so a relationship has to be born out of pure love if it is to truly work.

That pure love has nothing to do with your ego, because love is not a concept your mind creates, or a certain way things should be, or your desire to control and design your personal view of the perfect relationship.  Pure love is understanding, and understanding goes beyond intellect; therefore, understanding is of the brave and truly intelligent, because understanding takes seeing past your anger and pride, past your desires and ambitions, and to understand is to be truly patient and respectful of someone else.

Each one of us is different, molded by different experiences which give us different views on life; but, that is why to mature is to step out of your own ego and see the experience of another, so you can understand and accept another, and so love can be allowed to be born in your human experience.

Love is UNDERSTANDING.  Love is happiness.

The Golem.

After saying certain prayers and observing certain fast days, a Polish Jew made the figure of a man from clay, and when he pronounced the miraculous “Shemhamphoras” (“the name of God”) over it, the clay figure came to life.  He couldn’t speak, but he understood well what was said or commanded to him. 

This was The Golem, and his new master used him as a servant to do all sorts of chores.  On his forehead, he wrote “emeth” (“truth”).  Every day, this Golem regained weight, incredible muscle mass with strength and rapid stature or height; and this happened as a result of all the food and drink his master gave him.

The Golem was then becoming far bigger and stronger than any other human, and obviously towering over his own master.  For fear of him growing so big and strong one of the letters should be erased, so that the first letter is erased and we are left with “meth” (“he is dead”); whereupon he collapses and turns to dust or clay again. 

But this Polish Jew hadn’t done this because he had grown fond or used to his Golem, and now the creature was too tall and strong to reach his forehead and erase the first letter.  So, in terror he ordered his servant Golem to take off his boots, thinking that when he bent down he could reach his forehead and erase the letter. 
And indeed he did just that, he successfully erased the letter leaving just “meth”; however, the whole heap of clay fell on the Jew as the creature melted and crushed him.


50012421_614541218979244_3083158203467300864_n

He had gotten used to his Golem, even grown fond of the creature, and so it happened that he crushed him.  Has he crushed you yet…??  Has he brought you health problems yet…??  Has he altered your moods and ways of thinking yet…??  Stress, frustrations, anger, beliefs and expectations are your Golem, are they not??

All this intellectual process of overthinking and creating more problems, worries and expectations, always wanting to be in control–all this brings down your immune system, affects your nervous system, and it distorts the way you think and even feel.  Can you even see reality with your mind so clouded and darkened…??

Quite often, this Golem is left in your mind, nay, in your whole being, just growing taller and stronger, heavier and more intense, just to wreak havoc and poison you without your awareness.  Then, one day, you realize you are depressed and unhappy, and you feel a failure and emotionally reactive to anything which you experience.

So perhaps you should see the Golem you carry before this happens and you get crushed.
