Wanderer, find your place.

You must understand that your mind as it is right now, stubborn, filled of lazy and comfortable thinking, attached to people and things, lacking in conscience of truth, is your own prison, your own source of frustration, your own hell.  The fact that you have financial difficulties, relationship problems, problems with the law, neglect by people, an unhealthy lifestyle–these are nothing compared to your mind, and these are even worsened by you mind.  And your mind is the content of your everyday interaction with society–its influence on foods, on clothing, on beliefs, on “truth,” on “love,” on sex, on happiness, on creativity, on freedom. 
quote-it-is-very-easy-to-conform-to-what-your-society-or-your-parents-and-teachers-tell-you-jiddu-krishnamurti-75-94-55
Nothing is unique, but everything is taught by others–i.e., given to you consciously or subconsciously.  To acquire a conscience you must walk away from all this influence.  You must eat what is better for your health, not for your ego.  You must love without expecting and without fear, always remaining opened emotionally and without following a set pattern on what society says love is.  You must stop before you react emotionally, be patient, really inquire and meditate on what you are about to say and do.  You must accept that all sentient beings’ life is in their emotional bodies, not on how they look and not on their intellect; so, a pig, a cow, a dog, a Muslim, a Christian, you, me, is all the same life–all feel neglect, all feel lonely, all feel hated, all feel pain, all feel happiness, all feel love.  And you must understand that freedom is not measured or created by your environment or by your rights in the constitution, or by your culture or government, or by any other scheme outside of you or even any scheme created by your own thinking.
Remember an untamed mind is your prison, always will be.  It is designed to be that way, so you can go beyond mind and discover what freedom really is.  Don’t seek it in society.  Don’t seek it in people.  Don’t ask over and over again where to seek it.  You know where it is!  Leave all of society and its influence and you shall be illumined to heights you do not even understand right now.
Once your body and mind become stronger and healthier and you follow only truth within yourself far beyond your ego’s schemes, then you will wander like a lonely beggar no more and you will really understand all that I write to you here.

You tend to seek out there, wander in the world and follow society and all their structures without questioning and without knowing the truth–you wear what they wear, you eat what they eat, for you love is whatever others believe love is, you want to be rich and popular like others, etc.   This ignorant activity creates masks, and below you hide your demons–your anger, your frustration, your jealousy, you lack of love, etc.  You must take care of your own demons instead of following society and focusing on being like them.

That game which ruins you…

What is politics…??  Isn’t it a form of control and dominance created by the ignorance of the mind…??  This sickness rules the ego even when you think you are free from it, doesn’t it…??
37722800_510737356026298_5018111785736077312_n 
Politics refers to achieving and exercising positions of governance–popularly known by the rabble as organized control over a human community, particularly a state.  But, you see, politics is not just of the politicians and the government structures; but politics is a design of the ego of the unawakened man–i.e., a sickness which rules the life of people, a mind conditioning that has been there your whole life ruling your relationships, ruling your decision-making, ruling your behaviors, robbing you from freedom and enslaving your mind to an old pattern of control and obsession without your awareness.  You compare yourself to others, you want to reach certain wealth or higher position in society, you want your relationships to be like others because to be like others means for you that it is normal, you want control over every situation in your life and control over others as well–i.e., specially if you are a man; stubbornness and violence broods in man’s mind, control over the future and control over a woman.
This childish and ignorant game of the rabble is ambition, obsession, corruption–a way to enslave your mind and blind you from any love and freedom.  And this is the opposite of letting go because in this nonsense your mind becomes attached to any form of power, to any activity of your ego designed to make yourself feel superior.  The mistake here is that when there exists superiority, it also exists inferiority; so any form of greed corrupts and brings destruction to your character, to your conscience.  And this has been programed into you since you were born, since you opened your eyes for the first time and saw your mom and dad fight or argue–i.e., you saw superiority and inferiority, a violent pattern of behavior, someone trying to rule over the other. 
And then you grew up and your mind became infected with controlling relationships, with sexual games over the other gender, with claims and beliefs of superiority of your culture and skin color, with the comparison between you and the wealthy people you see on TV, etc. etc.  Can you really not see this sick pattern infecting your mind right now…??  It is all a game of mental violence and comparison to see who is superior and who is inferior.  “Well, men are certainly superior than women because men have a penis and big and powerful muscles.”  “No, women are superior because women give birth and are more connected to their emotions.”  “The more educated man is superior than the less educated one.”  “White people is the superior race!”  “I have to become competitive and ambitious like those men so I become wealthy and popular like them.” 
f133c9287a228b070db05d7f64313a45
It is all a program in your mind, a subconscious one, and you must get rid of it if you are to become an individual with freedom and uniqueness…  You cannot become awakened without deleting this mental conditioning…

Emotional Adventure.

If you want to keep the love flowing, alive, burning constantly, deep and mature, make every day an adventure–prioritize adventure.  The human mind gets bored and lazy with routines in relationships and in life in general, so bring a challenge to your mind, behave consciously, assume your role as woman or man of deep emotional understanding.  This has to become more important than routine, otherwise affection will wither in time.  And by adventure I do not mean go bungee jumping or run a marathon together, and I know most of the time people do these things because they think it really creates a rising in love in them, an eternal bond which grows in them; however fine and creative these activities, I am talking about deeper understanding, activities more at the emotional level. 
liberation-movement.png
Emotions and getting to the root of emotions is the key to access that power and that unity in all relationships.  See, thrills and physical adventures are fine but they speak to the intellectual level, the level of likes and dislikes, the level of the ego and its activities–which, like mentioned, are fine and enjoyable, specially in the beginning of a relationship where everything is new and exciting like the new toy, because we are getting to know and enjoy each other’s presence and attraction.  But it is the intellect where love is really…??  Can you truly find love if you live and enjoy each other from the mind’s point of view only…??  So how do you love somebody if you access only your ego/your mind/your intellectual witty and charm all the time…??  What is adventure at the emotional level in relationships…??  What is helping each other discover a deeper bond, a deeper union which can withstand all fear and challenges rising in the mind…??
Emotions are indeed what drive us.  You can have the highest IQ, be really intellectual, be a great philosopher, but emotions will drive you without a doubt; and that is why it is so important to be emotionally conscious, or emotionally connected to yourself.  In relationships, what shall build mutual bonding and unions beyond the anomalies and challenges brought by time is an emotional understanding and connection which surpasses that union of the mind–an emotional connection will drive your love for each other ever stronger, and an intellectual connection will help but it won’t be enough because the mind gets scared, angry, stubborn, enslaved by likes and dislikes, by moods in time.
And emotional adventure is profound communication, feeling trusted, feeling appreciated for how you feel not for what you do or for what you say only.  Emotional adventure is supporting one another and feeling as one team, and not as two people with different paths who happen to live together or share a mutual liking.  Wherever we go we hold hands, we smile at each other and feel what the other one feels, we are in harmony/in sync, we vibe the same through aging/through time, etc. etc…  Only emotional understanding, emotional adventure, can unite two persons for life…
37411858_507762166323817_5516908280808472576_n
Love is energy, power, substance which does not have anything to do with the mind, with the ego; it only speaks purely through the heart and it connects through emotions. So a relationship’s strength and heart can be found through sincere and open emotions only.

Free to choose…??

Does the unawakened man who enjoys everything society offers–i.e., meats, travels, luxurious houses and cars, higher positions to make more money, and the rest–has really free choice, or is it just really an illusion of the ego of every man and woman out there…??  The popular lifestyles and material things society puts in front of us, in the nice advertisements, with the talented artists on TV, in the attractive magazines selling dreams of better lives–these are all ways of controlling you without making you aware of it, they appeal to your lazy and corruptible ego, they speak to your already programed subconscious.  All this is politics, foolish games of control on the rabble; because if you follow society you are not healthy and you do not own your thinking and behaving–and now you are easily controllable.
d35ad3acae56d7c8bf6b613455cbda6d
Have you noticed that no ad ever tells you what is healthier for your mind and body–they just put taste in front of you.  The hospital industry does the same to keep you coming back–they do not tell you to stop eating meat, they do not tell you to exercise, they do not tell you to meditate and spend time taking care of your mind.  And people travel all the time as long as they don’t have to face themselves–alone, with their own demons.  Etc.  Until one sees this and more of the falseness in society, makes the right and better choice, leads his health and overall life forward, one remains without free choice because the ego–this thick veil governs him or her, and thus freedom is gone.

Who tells you that you are free to choose…??  Isn’t your mind, your ego, telling you that you are free to choose…??  The ego is this thick veil or screen that is fed by society and the whole world around you, influenced by it, programed by it–so it will tell you whatever keeps the comfort and the status quo unharmed; it will not tell you what is better for you but it will always find excuses of why you should stay without change, stay following your old lifestyle and your own mental conditioning.  Why can’t you see this…??  Or perhaps you see it but you play the fool anyway…??  Are you free then…?? 

You ought to know that only a free mind can actually know the essence of freedom, love, God and peace.  Why…??  Because when your mind’s content is what others tell you, what society gives you, what is not illumination to the very conscience, then you have blocked yourself from the deep and wise understanding; for you are corrupting yourself and living in the dream…  And there is no free choice, there is no freedom in the dream…
37243170_503385616761472_7616290824829009920_n
The illusion of free choice is that your mind is allowed to retain all this influence and impressions from society, your ego accepts this as the norm because most ignorant people out there do it as well without an individual thought of their own, and as a consequence you become prideful, you make choices based on selfishness and hate, and you have no individual conscience–i.e., no wisdom but you follow others and the way they do things. This deceives you into thinking you know love, God, freedom, peace and harmony; but you actually live in your own selfish world blinded by the corrupted content of your own lazy mind.

The voices…

“What if I cannot do it??”  “And what if he/she does not return my feelings??”  “My life is already too difficult and I cannot do more!”  “What if they do not like me??”  “What if they don’t take me seriously??”  “What if I am not good enough??”  “I cannot accomplish my dreams ever.”…  Too many “What if” and “cannot,” don’t you agree…??  So, let us think with clarity stepping out from any fear your mind might have, just for a moment–  Who says “What if” and “cannot”…??  Who brings you down…??  Who gives you these defeating ideas and fears which keep your body paralyzed…??  Is it your mind/your ego/the one who likes to keep the status quo and things as they are…??
37350857_505799143186786_1691795241461350400_n
And we can all agree that sometimes, just a few times, fear may help us get inner strength and maybe also get some good analysis and critique of our situations; nevertheless, you must see that it can also cripple you and make you feel worthless, it can degrade you and tell you lies through overthinking and images of really damaging and speculative imagination.  And imagination is a divine gift but also a curse.”  Think about this for a second.  Realize what it means for yourself.

Your ego does not know the real you, your mind is the content of the world, the content of your experiences, the content of what you have been taught and given by example since childhood; thus, your mind cannot actually see reality, it cannot see you and all you are.  Your mind is in charge to protect you, and that is why it is bound to keep you safe and sound by not allowing you to see all you could be and accomplish if you dare say “I love you” to someone, or “I am a god or goddess” to yourself in all situations, or “I will get this!” to your passionate drive, or “I can overcome all my losses and challenges” to your aching heart or to the ego who produces this pain.

The ego works with imagination, your mind is imagination–imagination to create, to find greater ways to love, to accomplish more.  But imagination which is not controlled or disciplined, but ruled by your ego, is tyranny which enslaves you and keeps you chained to a mental desk; it brings out voices of despair, of sadness, of misery, of hopelessness…  This you must see and discipline your mind so you do not fall onto this trap; because you must recognize between the voices of your ego and the whispers of your Higher Self…

Machine’s cog.

What is it that drives you to wake up every morning and take on your day with a smile…??–is it your job and the promise of a paycheck, or is it your education and the promise of a better job with higher earning in a future, or is it your romantic partner and the affection you feel, or is it your kids…??  Do you feel you are actually awakening a little bit each day…??  Is your life fulfilling for you now…??  Are you rising in love (not “falling in love”) and happy with yourself and with whom you are now…??

cog-free
Society, in all places of the earth, is a machine–a colossal machine with rules and a particular programing, and whoever deviates from this robotic programing is not considered “normal.”  Because in this programing the ordinary man is nothing but a cog in the huge human machine, you must observe others and do as they do, you must fill your mind with the machine’s knowledge and ways of working, you must not deviate and think for yourself, you must not question them and yourself–you must learn love, God, peace, freedom, relationship, personality, morals, from society/from the big machine which allows you to fit in as a poor cog in its popular industry.  The ordinary man and woman is driven by this, this is exciting and fulfilling for them–to be this cog, to follow and be popular as the rest of the cogs, to live under the ruling and mechanical production of this machine. 
And what does the machine produce…??  Why does it make you want to remain a cog under it…??  Is it love, happiness, a better way of life which is unique of your soul, better health, self-discovery, true freedom to be and think for yourself…??  No.  No one can feel truly alive in this situation.  Being alive is being and rising in love with yourself, knowing that your world/your love/your freedom/your absolute happiness is yourself.  So if you are awakening to many things, if you are becoming more connected to your feelings, if you are discovering slowly who you are and what really makes you happy; thus, you are not fitting in as a cog in the machine, just know that you are actually becoming alive, aware of your own ego as a mere cog…  And your path doesn’t end, because to be alive is to find yourself every single day; and that is why you get to live every day a new day, only if you feel alive and away from the monotony, only then you can get out from being a mere cog…

Spiritual roles.

maat

Maat, in ancient Egypt, the personification of truth, justice, order, morality, and the cosmic order.  The daughter of the sun god Re, she was associated with Thoth, god of wisdom.  Maat was also the goddess who personified these concepts, and regulated the stars, seasons, and the actions of mortals and the deities who had brought order from chaos at the moment of creation, thus bringing the union of true love and harmony in the individual.

37305824_504261900007177_268892023908466688_n

Woman is a healer, bringer of harmony, she brings out the best in man without degrading herself into a lower being; she must be patient and blossoming in her heart, to thus be the best and also bring out the best to herself and to any relationship she accepts into her life.  And man is the protector, must have a clear and harmonious mind to higher thought, and so refrain himself from selfish desires and all sorts of corruption of mind and body.  They both, man and woman, help each other and rise in the fruits of love without solely indulging in the superficial affections which tend to bring jealousy, violence, anger, and the rest which separates people and creates an abyss of darkness and disgust in the heart, into any soul sacredness. 
This must be the ideal, and for this the mind must be rid of fear–i.e., where there is fear there is room for a corrupted “love.”  And the problem is that many women are not accessing their higher calling as nurturers and healers, but they are using their bodies solely to attract men and find a quick path to some false security.  While men are stuck in their lowest instincts, trapping women into their false affections, but in time robbing them of their highest calling, deviating them.  Both seem to be at each other’s throats like enemies at some point; when it all starts passionately and with great desire to make the union work,  like children with their new toy that soon become bored and toss the toy aside to never enjoy it anymore.  Why is this…??  Why can’t man and woman really embrace love and become it–true love which never dies…??  Do they know their roles…??  Do they grow together as one….??  Do they work on lifting each other up, or do they compete…?? 
These are serious questions, because relationship is not love, but relationship is human, society, your design; so, if anybody is to build a relationship which works, if man and woman is to unite in harmony, their whole lives, they must know their roles.  Healer and protector, partners who help each other, two human beings which must be one–because lack of affection and all the ugliness may only exist in a relationship if there is competition…  Knowing their roles then creates and keeps the atmosphere of love, so the eternal essence may bathe them both through all the challenges they might encounter…
twin-fllame
If you want to keep the love flowing, alive, burning constantly, deep and mature, make every day an adventure–prioritize adventure. The human mind gets bored and lazy with routines in relationships and in life in general, so bring a challenge to your mind, behave consciously, assume your role as woman or man of deep emotional understanding. This has to become more important than routine, otherwise affection will wither in time.

The moon talks about us tonight.

Ever enjoyed silent nights out on the porch or the yard, just you and the stars above…??  Ever stopped your mind from rushing and thinking, and just enjoyed what is…??  We tend to keep busy with all these plans and activities, all this stress and frustration, ideals and work to do, but this is just avoiding ourselves, keeping ourselves distant.  And yes, we all have our challenges, pressures, difficulties, and these must be attended and fixed; however, this activity is not creating energy but taking away energy, taking us away from ever finding that silent place within ourselves where true love and happiness live. 
And most people is so used to running around and intensely thinking all day that they miss themselves, their attention is always on the world and on their problems and appointments.  But is this all there is to life…??  Perhaps, to be one with yourself, recharge yourself, allow yourself to just be, and to let go of mind and all ego, one must stop for a moment and enjoy a moment under the stars or a moment of pure silence where your attention is on you and God’s nature, just being, just feeling yourself and nature without the complications of an unruly and rushing thought…

“The moon talks about us tonight.”

All I ever knew was how you felt,
All my deep passions and desires,
All my foolish wars and past hurt,
All my selfish and worthless blurt.
Tonight under the magic of the moon,
As I allow myself to stop my thought
And feel you without any mental holds,
Away my ego as my dear you unfolds.
I had searched day and night for you,
But my search had been in great vain;
For you were not in the world I knew,
But you were within me in plain view.
And the moon talks about us tonight,
She says we are the greatest lovers;
Its magical light bathes us in eternity,
So we stay ever together in serenity.

a2565946327_5
That mysterious pull of the moon, influencing oceans and its tides.  And the human body is made mostly of water also, so we may feel the influence of the moon on us when we allow ourselves to step out of our heads and in touch with our emotions, silently, just being, in touch with what is.

The eagle who didn’t know itself.

eagle-nest_wide-ecd6e8ba7de93a922a4da3166eb068ebdae02ec3-s1100-c15

“In a forest an eagle lived on a tree, and it had built a nest wherein to lay its eggs; there the eagle would hatch its eggs all throughout the day.  Under the same tree there lived a hen, and this particular hen had also laid eggs during the same period when the eagle had laid its own eggs.  One day, while the eagle had gone for hunting, a bear climbed up the tree to eat the eagle’s eggs.  The bear had finished three of the eggs soon, when the fourth one slipped off its hands and fell into the hen’s nest; on returning, the eagle could not find her eggs, and so feeling terribly upset she decided to leave the place.

The hen which lived under the tree saw the eagle’s egg by the side of her eggs, so she felt pity on the eagle’s egg and decided to hatch it as well.  After a few days, the hen’s chicks hatched.  The eagle’s chick hatched, too.  And the hen would feed all the chicks, including the eagle’s chick, as if it were her own.  Soon the chicks began to grow.  The young chicks would listen to their mother’s sounds and try to imitate her.  The eagle’s chick also picked up the hen’s sounds, because that is all it heard.
The chicks would all play together and make lots of noise.  Within no time, the hen’s chicks, as well as the eagle’s chick, grew up to their full size.  The eagle’s chick never realized that it was an eagle and not a hen; so, considering itself a hen, the eagle would eat hen’s food, would walk and run like other hens and would make sounds like hens.  The eagle never learnt to fly like other eagles and lived its whole life like a hen only.”

Your parents were probably loving and did their best, like mine did also; however, this is not enough to illumine your conscience and wake up from the veil cast by society, specially as an adult who needs this illumination and wisdom in his/her own life.  As the little eagle growing up as a hen in the above-mentioned story, you might be still surrounded by people who are weaker of mind and ignorant of the deceit of their own egos, and you must see this yourself; for you probably feel sometimes confused, overwhelmed, lacking confidence, mentally weak to do something because this is your environment, your mental program, and the people with whom you interact daily.

a4fb1b55e92656420979839f0eb1cc8e--individual-rights-jiddu-krishnamurti
Growing up and experiencing this is surely painful if you believe it, if you believe you are the hen instead of the mighty eagle; so, as an adult it is extremely important that you choose your situations and the people to whom you give your time and your energy.  Because, after all, your mind will absorb the influence of your environment and of the people around you–their moods, their characters, their ideas, their intentions.  This energy will affect you, whether you want it or not.  So, choose carefully…

Incorruptible!

What is character…??  Is it only showing goodness to people, going out and doing charity work, giving blessings to everybody, showing that you care and that you are a saint…??  Is character something of your ego, something which may change at any given time–i.e., “I change my character with certain people,” “I love you but not them,” “I act this way now but tomorrow my character will change”…??

37107878_500681253698575_7828254427323564032_n
No, character is not something which depends on your environment or on the people around you, thus your character must not be corrupted by your emotional moods; so think of your character as something divine, unchangeable, because it really is–opposite to what most ignorant people think it is.

For example, you carry truth and you guide yourself by truth, thus you do not gossip, you do not blame and attack others.  But let’s say one day your friends are gathered doing just this, being obnoxious; and so they call you to be with them.  You do not start gossiping with them just because you want them to like you, but you embrace your divine character, the truth which guides your conscience.  You are your true self alone, with them, and with everybody.

integrity

And where does true character start strengthening itself and growing…??  It grows within you, when you are alone, stressed, moody, pressured by your life’s problems.  If you can build and strengthen character by yourself, alone, in your own mind, then, in all situations, you can be a light unto others and you will also remain true to your higher self.  Character is loving truth, loving yourself–not your ego, but the being underneath it.  Divine character is not a display of kind words and gentle activities with others, but it is how you carry yourself with yourself–i.e., how loving you are with yourself in self-talk, how truthful you are with yourself with matters of health and all morality, how understanding you are in life’s difficult situations, etc. etc…  A divine character is a strong character which will not bend or be corrupted by anything at all.  Can you understand this and put it into practice…??

integrity-1
