A little fiction to refresh the mind.

Intelligence seeker.

How to find psychological balance-and, most importantly, an emotional understanding that is deeper and brighter–in a world where there is no balance–where everybody settles for mediocrity and where the mind just follows the latest trend and gossip…??

They key is always balance, in all we do and experience, in all we think and suffer, in all we feel and project into the world as vibrations; and to find this balance one must be self-aware at all times, make it a daily practice to find reason in your own thinking patterns and physical behaviors, This shall bring a greater emotional understanding of life, perhaps slowly, perhaps in a quicker way–depending on the personality of the individual. Two kinds of mental personalities:

1) The fiery and intense personality shall discover intelligence at a faster pace, because the secrets of nature and the subconscious forces of the collective merging with the individual require flaming curiosity and intensity of the heart passions. This is seen more in the introvert, as the introvert tends to rationalize and meditate on the inner world more than in the outer one; he/she finds freedom in the emotional mind, the world seems to make more sense rationalizing it inwardly.

2) The shy and quiet personality, which can discover intelligence at a slower pace by focusing on more scientific and rigid terminology, no mixing Gnosis (or knowledge of the emotional self) with other subjects. This one inquires into established paradigms and programs, getting to the truth slower (if ever). This one lives more in his head, and battles more doubts and afflictions of the ego entity.

But both seek something. Something to bring some harmony and intelligence into their affairs… Question is, how do they seek it, and where do they seek it…?? 💖🔥🙏“

And then I took a walk outside my home and I saw this. Can you believe it!

When you see it.

A world with magic, happiness, love, freedom to be ourselves, unique and creative. Isn’t that what we all, at some level in our different ways, seek…?? And it seems far away, even impossible, doesn’t it…?? But what if you held the power though…??

People create their own hell and fall trap of their own blinding fear. The divine in them cannot find a way to fill their minds with love and understanding if all it finds buried deep in the psyche is sadness, or contempt, or feelings of mistrust, or arrogance, or the sort of darkness which brings selfish addictions and vain thoughtlessness. But none of us is doomed to the lower self, to dwell in negativity and worthlessness; but to rise and see what is beyond our ego and above our negative thinking, we have to accept that we cannot know everything, we have to accept that there are forces we have to trust–namely forces of nature. What are these forces of nature…?? We may give them various names perhaps, but one that sticks to us as human beings above all others is Love. This is real magic! The universe runs on magic! It is magic then because this is a force that exists inside each atom, eternally, throughout all, around us and in us, and as source of life itself; and all evil, misconduct, fear, misery, is because of love–it springs or branches out from it.

Our minds create the duality, but still the magic reigns. But have you seen how a smile, kindness, goodness, thoughtfulness, attracts…?? It unites. Magic creates, unites. But in order to be love, rise in love, patiently find a partner, become this connective tissue of eternal friendship, you must rise to the challenge, believe in love, trust it–even though you may feel worthless or miserable, rise to this challenge. Be magic, which means believe you are magic; just because you are–and your mind is the only one which does not truly know what you are, it might know concepts and philosophies but it doesn’t fully grasp your magic. So, you must be ready at all times to smile, to be kind and gentle, to see the good in the bad, to turn a bad mood into a good mood, and to remain faithful in the midst of your own mind’s negligence.

Believing in magic, like when you were a child before all the corruption and dullness of adulthood filled your mind, is the only way to be magic, to be love and understand that there are forces in nature you must trust. Whether you seek a partner, a better financial situation, a better understanding, a more creative and positive personality, you must be magic first; allow love to rise in you by doing all those things that get you closer to love. Practice until you become it!

Greater insight.

For as long as I’m alive in this mind and body of decay, ignorance at some level will exist in me. Nothing is perfect in this physical realm; the only perfection is life, love, but we humans make it imperfect. And people live different experiences and they are all unique, each one of them; however, to have different experiences makes us have different views, different ways of doing things. Perhaps one is wise in this, or maybe one is unwise in that, or ignorance fills our minds, or ignorance has been lowered due to a conscience illumination; but, that is exactly why we must learn to accept each other as we are, because we carry different understandings, levels of ignorance, and experiences.

Do you understand that no one is really superior or inferior, that life is not a competition…?? Can’t you see that competing against each other, you are widening the gap and destroying any chance of illumination in you and in the other person…??
If someone has their beliefs, ideas, and understanding; but it is a misguided path, it is not your job to break this person but help him/her to see more. To argue and to try to win, to break or humiliate the person is selfish, it is great ignorance rooted on a subconscious or conscious fear.

You may not want to admit it but still deep inside you these words resonate with you, because we all carry the truth inside of us–but some carry more darkness/ignorance than others which covers the truth/which covers love and greater understanding.

Always remind yourself that we are all ignorant at some level. We are all different and must learn to appreciate this difference in the world, in one another. To rise and not to put others down! To create our path to a greater place and not to step on others to get there! 🕉️💖🙏

In bed with fools.

To argue is to defend something, some belief, some part of you which feels insulted, which feels inferior, which feels perhaps wounded or hurt. And when someone tries to poke at that wound or hurt, you react and poke or hit back. Isn’t this reaction rooted on fear then…?? The photo below is funny but very appropriate and truthful.

To argue is of the ego: You hold a belief, a philosophy, you became attached to Buddha, to Jesus, to a religion, to a tradition, to any person in your life; and so, you become possessive and guard it/him/her with all your energy. But why would you want to argue if you hold the truth…?? Why would you want to battle this and that, become violent if you hold the truth…?? Arguing is of the ego, very selfish, very ignorant, rooted on competition–a desire to win the argument, a desire to feel superior. But communication through conversation is very different, because your only purpose is to spread or communicate the truth, an experience, a fact; which is rooted on love, such love is to share your thoughts, your feelings, to learn from one another. And this conversation is not heated, there is no hate, there is no competition, there is no win or lose.

So, if you hold the truth–which is not a belief, tradition, or attachment of any kind–then there is no cause for arguing. Like above-mentioned, to argue is of fools, it is rooted on fear, on competition to see who wins. And so, this is why it is so important to catch your own mental activity whenever your beliefs, your attachments to anyone or to anything, become attacked; so you can control your reactions and not be the fool, but be wise and allow yourself to let go of these beliefs and traditions–these attachments which are really the cause of you hurt and anger. And you must ask yourself: Who is in charge…??–my ego and attachments, or myself?? And, do I hold the truth…??–or do I hold irrational traditions, beliefs, and fantasy?? You have to be able to inquire deep within yourself, see what is really true–not right or wrong, not your opinions, not your beliefs or personal nonsense based on the influence of other people.

Only you can enlighten yourself by catching your own egoistical activity and changing your thinking patterns, to become free from attachment and fear. There is no Enlightenment out there, nothing to seek out there; but it is all within… It is all about mental peace; and so, when fools argue, there exists no mental peace in their minds, only agitation and competition…

What matters.

Once upon a time there was a world famous teacher in north-western India. It just so happened that one of the high class students had been named ‘Bad’ by his parents. One day he thought, “When I am told, ‘Come Bad’, ‘Go Bad’, ‘Do this Bad’, it is not nice for me or others. It even sounds disgraceful and unlucky.” So he went to the teacher and asked him to give him a more pleasant name, one that would bring good fortune rather than bad.

The teacher said, “Go my son, go wherever you like and find a more fortunate name. When you return, I will officially give you your new name.” The young man named Bad left the city, and traveled from village to village until he came to a big town. A man had just died and Bad asked what his name was. People said, “His name was Alive.” “Alive also died?” asked Bad. The people answered, “Whether his name be Alive or whether it be Dead, in either case he must die. A name is merely a word used to recognize a person. Only a fool would not know this!” After hearing this, Bad no longer felt badly about his own name, but he didn’t feel good about it either.

After leaving the town, along the roadside he met a man who had lost his way. He asked him, “What is your name? ” He replied, ‘My name is Tourguide.” “You mean to say that even a Tourguide has gotten lost?” asked Bad. Then the man said, “Whether my name be Tourguide or whether it be Tourist, in either case I have lost my way. A name is merely a word used to recognize a person. Only a fool would not know this!” Later, Bad came to a realization…

Now completely satisfied with his own name, Bad returned to his teacher and decided to keep his name and work on what mattered.

And working on what matters can be daunting, intimidating, right…?? People tends to be fearful and seek out there their purpose and meaning, because that is what they have been taught, by their families, by their religions, by their culture and societies overall. So they compare and work towards becoming this and that, they refuse to look within so they escape it–seek refuge and distraction from themselves in the world. But their identities are not a name, a mental program, a lifestyle they have been taught; and this is their weakness, they do not know themselves… And do you know yourself…??

Now, to know yourself is to accept yourself completely; and to accept yourself completely is to erase fears of being lonely, or of having losses, or of being left by others, or of making mistakes and being shamed by others. To see this and to cross that bridge. To embrace yourself fully by seeking all inside yourself, it is how your life and your situations become clear. And now there is no fear, because you know that fear inside you and you became one with it

Alien.

You are here to be an individual, to be you, to love you and care for you; after that love is self-discovered and you are happy with yourself, strong, confident, able to love being alone with yourself, then that love can expand outwardly and you can properly care for others. But first you must be your truest and most faithful friend, when situations are easy and when they are not, always there for yourself. Can you truly see the value in this…??

Now, most people in the world seek to be an individual, seek for love and happiness out there; they cannot bear to be alone, they hate themselves if they are alone for a long time, they do not know love because they seek it out there like the rest. So, in this empty game they play they find themselves alone and confused, following the ignorant crowd, they cannot reach intelligence because their minds are in agitation, always worried and stressed about relationships and being liked by others. Their attention falls into the world of form, thus their energy is misused by trying to compete and be liked by their potential partners, their bosses, their family, their friends, etc. They wear masks to compete and become attractive to others, they are never themselves because being themselves means to be emotionally exposed (which means taking off their masks), and so they are never truly free; but they are strangers to themselves and never loved, never happy. So if they are alone they have designed this concept of a broken heart.

A “broken heart”…?? Or a broken ego…?? They seek and lean on the world to find love and happiness when they have forgotten where love and happiness really lie; so their minds, their egos, become attached and obsessed, corrupted by society and the influence they get from it. They never find themselves, because they seek in relationships, in churches, in governments, in the media–they seek in these places to find a meaning to their empty lives, to find something which can give them some kind of activity to maybe find love and happiness there. But do they find it…?? No, the roller coaster continues and they are always pining, angry, frustrated, confused; and this monotonous and egoistical activity brings them shame, feelings of worthlessness, so-called “broken hearts,” and the rest of the nonsense in which they choose to dwell.

But this is pointless, isn’t it…?? Because love and happiness must be self-discovered, unique of themselves. Who cares about competing?! One must create his own life, inside, not outside. One must never be a stranger to oneself; because if there is indeed a sin, that is it.

Would you empty your garbage…??

Post author By thegodwithinblog
Post date August 7, 2018
No Comments on Would you empty your garbage…??

Do you lie, even a “little white lie” or a “fib”…?? Perhaps you call it “not telling the whole truth” or some nonsense like that–just to make yourself feel better about lying. And why do you feel the need to lie…?? What is the state of your mind when you lie…?? Is it love, confidence, strength, respect…?? Or is it fear, shame, self-pity, a bit of anger, worthlessness perhaps…??

People just react and says stuff, don’t they…?? They are so thoughtless even when they don’t want to be. Perhaps they are nice and caring, but they still lie to themselves and to others; and they do this because, even though their vain egos may make them feel strong and like they are doing the right thing, there is some garbage in their minds–something they hide, or something they fear about the way they are and they don’t want it revealed, or something they did, or they know the truth but they play dumb because they are lazy and superficial. The state of the mind when anyone lies, for any reason, big or small lie, is that of fear, darkness, not truth, and not light. And the problem is that lies affect the way we are, our personalities, subconsciously they program the way our thinking pattern works, and the way we see others, ourselves, and even life and the experiences we live daily.

You see, there only exists love and fear, and from love and fear we develop all the thoughts and feelings–i.e., joy, suffering, pleasure, pain, calm, anger, affection, disgust, certainty, confusion, etc. etc. This is all you experience in your life, isn’t it…?? But you have been endowed with an intellect, a superior ego which gives you choice; and so, you choose between love and fear, and then feelings start pouring in–the feelings you have created by your choice. Can you take your time now and truly see this for yourself…?? See the truth! Don’t agree or disagree, but see the truth behind the words.

So, obviously, you can see that lies branch out or are born from fear. They cannot be born from love, can they…?? So as an adult you have garbage to take out, and I do as well; because daily we have to choose if to allow love or fear into our minds–i.e., shame or confidence, calmness or anger, gratitude or envy, truth or lie, etc. And, like I said, this choice which may not seem too important at times, shall create your persona, the way you see yourself, others, and life itself. And it shall attract or repel opportunities and situations in your life, because all we think and feel is made out of vibrations either positive or negative, and these vibrations affect the world outside of us. This is fact. This is truth. This is science…

And so, would you empty your garbage then…??

Like the wolf.

A wolf–alone, individual, constant, patient, following his own.

So, losing and winning is based on competition, right…?? Losing and winning are concepts born out of comparison. You watch others, you covet what others have, you desire to be like them and enjoy like them, you formed attachment and addiction to these ideas and views; so you compare and destroy your uniqueness, because in your mind competition broods as the only reality, the only way to better yourself and your life, and because your mind is infected now by this outer influence. And, of course, this brings fear to the mind. Can you see how this mindset brings fear…??

Fear of not being good enough to achieve what you want, fear of so-called “failure,” fear of being mocked by others for not achieving, fear of feeling inferior, and the fears go on and on. And this brings mighty pressure on you, your mind is now on struggling mode and you are not really enjoying the moment because your mind is upon what you could win or lose in a future; this obviously brings suffering, this puts you in a bad and tense mood because you are playing to win and you cannot do less than winning–so you must be always on and reactive, guarded and ready to strike at any moment. But what of the pressure…?? The pressure is not only psychological but now is felt all over your body, and your immune system gets compromised, your energy in time is less because to compete and have this intense thinking you must use great amounts of energy.

And perhaps thoughts of quitting pop up in your mind…?? Who knows. But if you do quit you feel beaten down, like a loser, like you missed on some great opportunity which you will never have again. Are you starting to get the image…??… Of course, if you are going to go for what you want, go for it, you are here on earth for it; however, don’t do it out of following society and to be obedient to a pattern, to be like somebody else and have what they have–only idiots do this. And you are not an idiot, are you…?? Or maybe you are. Only you know that in the recesses of your own mind, so explore it and find out. Take the trip in silence, connect to your higher self. Don’t agree or disagree with me. Who cares about being right?!

The truth is the only thing which matters here, so wake up to it! And understand that life is your playground, but you must meditate, inquire within and discover how to play; if you play, do it for yourself, not out of competition or to be like the rest, so you never quit, so you keep going and enjoying all you experience.

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

The game.

People make the mistake to seek themselves in society–in their relationships, in their jobs, in their religions, and in all their particular activities. This is to put on masks and try to fit in and find your love, your happiness here; however, these are the lies people live and tell themselves every day. Because these are mere things, as important as they can be to you, superficial things you do, experiences of the human games you are here to play; but still you are searching for yourself in the wrong places where nothing of eternal substance can be found…

“The game.”

I was blind and my foothold very weak,
I thought me as superior in my own eyes,
I felt saved, proud, safe in a crooked path
Where I had you through painful choices.
I did not see myself in this game but a lie
Which grew in me and cut my freedom,
A game where I constantly seek and seek,
In you, In them, some love, some happiness,
A way to express myself through my masks;
But soon it swallowed me and kept me away
In spite of my bouts of anger and frustration,
In spite of my desires to be mended by you.
But I finally discovered myself in the mirror,
Aging, deceived, broken–but alas awake!
Thus awake with a light I hadn’t seen before,
Such brightness which took me past the mask,
Past societies, past cultures, past seeking.
And now I saw you, dear, for who you were,
My partner, not my savior or my source of love;
And I saw me, I saw how illumined I was,
what I was, and who I needed to be for me.
Yes, I contemplated my role and my worth
Far beyond society’s many false arguments.
Who was I…?? Thunder came, lightning shot,
Then I knew who I was, and who you were too…

Unique Art.

I think that too many people are just existing for the sake of getting through the day, through the week, through the year; or worse yet, people are just expecting situations to change and so they are not being the best they can be. Their minds are located in their current problems, pressures of this and that, and they are ignorantly praying and desiring for better things, for better days, for happier days to come. They are not really putting all their good vibes and energy, their best moods and pure hearts, into the task at hand, into what they are doing each minute of each day–i.e., into their communications with somebody else, into their self-talks, into their jobs, into their ideas, into their ways of affection towards somebody important for them, into their arts, into their alone moments, and into all activities.

And can you not see that this is exactly the reason for any fear and lack of confidence to fester in the mind…?? Love and happiness is in how much energy and discipline/attention you put into whatever you do: If you put all your energy and attention into your job (into the details of it without complaining), you will soon get used to it and find love in that. If you put attention and all your energy in all aspects of a relationship, soon your mind will erase the flaws of your partner and you will become more caring and mature in the ways you express your love. If you feel alone, neglected, but you begin to discipline your mind into putting all your energy into yourself and into activities for yourself, you will soon feel whole, working for yourself, and too busy loving yourself to feel alone and neglected. So put all your attention and energy into whatever you do, all the time, even into things which you do not consider important–like cleaning, shopping, drawing, writing, taking the bus, walking by yourself, walking the dog, usual conversations, etc. etc.

Putting all your heart and soul into these things, in my own experience I know, will soon give you the inner strength to rise above all fears you may have; because life is a true celebration as you enjoy each moment (whatever that moment is), but when you neglect the moment then your attention wanders into overthinking and depression. And art is just that, being extremely creative and unique in whatever you are doing. See, popular art might be painting, dancing, acting, sculpting, making music; however, anything in life can be transformed into art, because art is what brings you love and happiness, what makes you say “I am unique and great!”

You can love somebody, or something you do daily, as an ordinary and mediocre person does, like most people, and so fall into hate, jealousy, sadness, feelings of worthlessness, and the rest of the nonsense; or you can love somebody, or something you do daily, as a true art form, uniquely of yourself as a superior human being who creates with his divine energy and wonderful creativity… And it is all in your hands. And it is all up to you…
