A little fiction to refresh the mind.

People’s aggression.

Suffering brings certain reactions in the individual, either suffering due to our own ignorant choices or some subconscious conditioning programming our deep personas, and these reactions manifest violence most of the time, explosive, irrational, and prejudiced, because these are reactions based on fear.

Watch your thoughts and emotions when dealing with irrational people; because it is about your mental peace, so either observe their lunacy or just walk away… “Weak people, revenge. Strong people, forgive. Intelligent people ignore.” ~ Albert Einstein.

Fear comes along and the mind alters itself by the dark presence of it, and so this mind distances itself from clarity, harmony, love, deeper understanding; consequently, this mind, overwhelmed by fear, seeks security, it says, “Before somebody else hurts me or judges me in any way, I’ll do it first to them.”

Obviously, this mind is absurd and ignorant, without any rationale, it can only see the image of fear and suffering it has built; and so, it overtakes the whole being, which brings tension to the body, sicknesses, and patters of fog in the higher thinking process.

This mind, this individual is lost, and it is of great value to try and understand the psychology in his reaction; not put up with it, but not fall victim of his manipulation and violent reactions either. Oftentimes it is better to walk away to keep our own peace of mind.

Fear has a way to overwhelm the mind of a person, just like fog overwhelms the pure air of a fresh evening near a beautiful lake. And this fear hides behind pride and heated, violent patterns of thoughts, crooked views which change the whole structure of the human being, at a point where the same fear, the same irrational and explosive persona takes hold and guides the person’s interactions. But for your own sake and growth you must put it out of your mind, forgive and forget, move on, choose to not let it affect you. Change your thoughts, work on something else, drive yourself to an inspirational, more productive task instead of dwelling on frustrating or angry thoughts towards what happened in the past. Ask yourself: Who is in control here…?? And what kinds of thoughts will help me move on…??

It is certainly enlightening to see the truth of it and understand the mind in this process, because in our daily lives we might be interacting with these persons; so, to avoid to get sucked into their dramas, and often perhaps to help them see this, is a great trait to master and practice to better walk the path of our lives.

“Don’t Take Anything Personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.” ~ Don Miguel Ruiz; Mexican author of Toltec spiritualist and neoshamanistic texts.

Anatomy and physiology of life Self-help life truths. Stories to ponder. The free mind of a human god!

Deeper roots…

From The One Source all beings, all nature was created; and this is why we are all related to each other, and this is why The One Source became many and relationships were born.

Humankind’s true heart is relationship then, a deeper connection than what we see, because we are all connected by an invisible thread we may call love; however, this love, the very essence of it, has nothing to do with superficial concepts humans have designed. No, this love is the deepest connection, which goes beyond sex, beyond dating, beyond a marriage, beyond any friendship.

For most of humanity, sadly, relationship is a give and take relation based on dependency, attachment, sometimes obsession and even harmful addiction. And many rush into these relationships because the man or woman looks physically attractive, or because there is great intellect, or a good economic stand, or good conversation; however, these traits, as alluring as they might be for you, are attached to time and space, which means flesh decay, the emotional roller coaster, and the various moods tied to different outer situations in life.

So, is this the essence of love or just something more superficial…??

Human love is a give and take–i.e., I love you if you care and love me back, I want a relationship if you look attractive enough and if you are intelligent enough, I will be with you if you are always nice to me and make me feel good, etc. Humans have created concepts like friendship love, romantic love, sexual love, and the rest. This human love has or comes with judging, jealousy, hatred, etc. This human love, even though people call it love, is really attachment–i.e., a superficial form of “love” the ego creates out of fear of being alone, fear of not being like the rest, fear of not keeping tradition, etc. etc.

But the essence of divine love is pure, does not ask for anything, it is a deeper connection–I love because I love, in the process of loving I find happiness, and I do not depend on anything or anybody to feel loved and happy.‘ This love essence is pure, ABSOLUTE freedom, not ties to moods, characters, ways of the flesh, emotional roller coasters, aging, economical issues, papers of marriage, and the rest of the petty human condition in relationships.

Without judging, I really think one must inquire into this because, even though we are all human beings and forming these relationships, if we are to really love ourselves and another, love all beings and the whole Earth, then a deeper realization should be awakened in us. In order to form really deep connections one must look beyond matter, beyond these petty and superficial facades, and embrace the truth of it all, the truth of our Great One Source.

“For most of us, relationship with another is based on dependence, either economic or psychological. This dependence creates fear, breeds in us possessiveness, results in friction, suspicion, frustration.” ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti.

What is magic really…??

The physical senses rule the minds of human beings, and you can see this for yourself in the mundane world daily seeking more power, seeking more relationships, seeking more material things, seeking higher societal positions, and the rest of it.

In this ongoing process of the tyrannical senses, the ego, which is the intellect of man, which is comparing all the time, wanting to be the best, the most popular, the richest, there is the illusion/false belief of love and freedom; however, the pursuit of these things becomes mechanical itself, it turns out to be the very core of humanity’s decay, obsession, loss of reality. But then there is the inner world, the inner senses, the source of reality, the source of all Cosmic Intelligence, from where all the reflections and images emerge in the world of form/the world of never-ending pursuit of the common man, pursuit of pleasure and pain, pursuit of attachment and all suffering.

Outer and Inner Senses

From the inner world or environment is the outside world really born; hence, happiness and love, success and all deep connection make the world, move the world of humanity forth. And so, when the outer world is not allowed to emerge from within, nurtured and loved like a seed from within, then the egotistical vainglory and sheer ignorance rule the same outer world where fear and all sorts of attachment guides the physical senses. To find a balance between the two realms, to finally realize the truth of the outer world with the inner discovery of the one source of reality, is to explore the doors of perception beyond the mere physical senses, beyond the enslaving intellect of man. The two worlds are one and we must find the balance/The Middle way.

Magic is that rich substance inside each body cell which lives beyond our commonness as human beings, which fuels our consciousness, and which gives us the opportunity to direct our perceptions and change the way we look at the outer world with the wisdom emerging from Cosmic Intelligence. And as you do this, the world of form changes, your life changes.

Magic is just called magic because it cannot be studied or measured by our human science, and whenever something does not fit the set patterns of conventional science most of us call them “miracles” or “magic;” but, however, it is just science most of us do not understand because we follow and experience the physical senses every day and ignore or do not concern ourselves with that which goes deeper and beyond the common physical senses and outside the laws of human science.

Our consciousness emerges from the Universal Consciousness, which it is like branches of many consciousness states emerging from the unlimited and eternal Consciousness; therefore, mankind and all which lies in it, all physical forms, ideas, inventions, places, states of psychology, and the rest of the corporeal substances stem from this “magic” of the Unknown condition. Becoming ever more conscious is the purpose of the branching out or forming of each of our consciousness states; because this purpose, this dynamic action stems from beyond the “magic” we call life beyond our known science.

“One has not only an ability to perceive the world but an ability to alter one’s perception of it; more simply, one can change things by the manner in which one looks at them.” ~ Tom Robbins; American novelist.

Ashes of Bone.

Tradition, set rules, dogmas, lifestyles, following, etc… All words belonging to the popular illness in the human mind, based upon a society which is in fact the corrupted and ignorant human being, which stems from this illness like the growth of a tumor appears first inside vital organs without being noticed and when is too late it has become extremely polluting throughout. The same insanity which believes war, competition, intolerance, jealousy, economic division, obsessing over commerce, etc., is productive in the evolution of the individual mind is certainly developing the thinking of billions of people every day, and without analysis and deep meditation of the consequences…

The revolution to stop this begins with you, because real change is internal, from within; for it is all about you, to question yourself, your beliefs, your traditions, your behaviors, your thinking… This is awakening and freeing your mind from the chains…

“Ashes of Bone“

Ashes of bone as tyrannous time passes,
The dust of society of my eyes veils truth;
As people remains divided in classes,
As the human mind is enslaved since youth.

My heart without thought holds the key,
The silence of the essence the liberty;
I walked through pain without what it be,
All my life I ran away from the inner deity.

The people seem so formless and vain,
As I sit pondering the state of my own mind:
Are we really choosing to be insane…??
Do we really understand we are blind…??

Ashes of bone tell a story of many a fear,
As time passes and my fleshy temple decays;
I lost people who knew me of good cheer
Playing the game of comparison and praise.

Behind the ashes of bone lies the human spirit,
Away from daily monotony of mediocre recognition.
I renounce society and its steel chains! So be it.
I rise alone, free myself, denounce all tradition.

“Unlike a drop of water which loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives. Man’s life is independent. He is born not for the development of the society alone, but for the development of his self.” ~ B. R. Ambedkar; Indian jurist, economist, politician and social reformer.

Spiraling With No End.

“It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.” ~ Tony Robbins; American author, entrepreneur, philanthropist and life coach.

“You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands–your own.” ~ Mark Victor Hansen; American inspirational and motivational speaker, trainer and author.

Destiny

I kept the repeating question encased in pure gold,
Foolishly I tried to make sense of it as it grew in me;
I felt alone, confused, running lost in the winter cold.
Where was I going…?? What was I to be…??

I heard the cry of sheep and the howl of wolf.
Hadn’t I walked too long…?? Didn’t I deserve more…??
The moon was whispering to me about love
While my wings were broken and I couldn’t soar.

But the whispers were astoundingly sweet in my ear,
And were magically transforming my broken heart;
They spoke about absolute creation without fear,
They spoke about commitment from the start.

The moon told me about her love for the sun,
About the true essence of love between them,
How in spite of the distance they were One,
How their destinies shone together like a gem.

I again heard the cry of sheep, the howl of wolf to be.
I had to choose my destiny and renounce all fear.
The whisper was clear, it answered the question in me:
I created my destiny with the essence of love most dear.

Spiraling With No End

My days were rainy and sad as I walked onwards to destiny,

Around me minds were conditioned to follow and compare;

The nuisance of their words, the ignorance without empathy,

The money schemes, the greed and jealousy stare.

And there seemed to be no return, as this was life,

And my mind was agitated, pressures to meet expectation;

The doorway was cold, heartless, Spiraling With No End,

Was this my life…?? Was this the lesson…??

The neighbors would rush past my chaotic mornings,

My family would become silent to my treacherous indifference,

My mind was in heavy fog and I couldn’t see the warnings,

Blinded by the Spiraling With No End in illogical defiance;

Was this my destiny as I had become this petty human being…??

Was this what my heart was destined to be, closed and sad…??

But it takes inward communion for the truth to be seen,

I had to stop my thinking and rushing day for myself to be glad.

To be truly awakened to the truth of me and the lies of society,

I need not to be taken by the inhumanity of the popular crowd;

To wallow in madness was every damn day to fall in anxiety,

To be myself now is to love each moment I live, happy and proud.

You are the Creator of your own destiny, not the stars, not any philosophy, not other people. Never allow anyone to tell you differently.

To a better life.

61112284 - good habits sign with arrow on beach background

“I think if you stop bad habits, and you stop long enough, you develop good habits.” ~ Jordan Knight; American singer-songwriter and actor.

“The key to forming good habits is to make them part of your ‘rituals.’ I have a morning ritual, afternoon ritual, and Sunday ritual. It’s one way to bundle good habits into regular times that you set aside to prepare yourself for the life you want. Rituals help you form habits.” ~ Lewis Howes; American author, entrepreneur, former professional Arena League football player, and social media expert.

The mind is the seat of all that we do, better put, ‘the seat of all habit;’ and so, most habits are done subconsciously, our minds conditioned since birth, but in order to make those subconscious habits conscious we must self-reflect, inquire within ourselves and watch how we feel and think, analyze our daily behaviors with conscience before doing them.

In order to create a good and truly happy life, and in order to create a successful and unique one, good thoughts and intentions are not enough; that is to say, good thoughts and intentions are important, but if you do not act on them, if you do not change your behaviors, is because your lazy ego, which does not like to get out of its comfort zone, is still ruling you and your life.

Good daily habits and a strong, healthy mind go hand in hand, and these are the cornerstones upon which all good actions in life are built; and so, you cannot be truly awaken if good habits and a strong, healthy mind do not dictate your behaviors daily.

You cannot be truly awaken just because you have good knowledge and deep thoughts, but these should be carried in your daily habits as well, otherwise they are null, void, an illusion of great and ego-centered activity.

Create good habits by analyzing yourself and your daily steps, understand that this process must be taken seriously in order for real and great change to come your way, and be conscious about each step you take:

The road to being truly great in life must be reality, built facts which speak of your superior and wiser awakening; but a nice thought, a nice belief, deep knowledge, deep conversations, etc., these are not reality, these are not facts.

Thus, actions, real change, good behaviors which build and create, which mold and sculpt you like a masterpiece to make your life a masterpiece as well, yes, this is reality, these are facts you can trust for happiness and success.

The Way of The Warrior.

“To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true.” ~ Aristotle.

“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.” ~ Marcus Aurelius.

The Way of The Warrior

One cannot simply survive and each day hope for the best without altering what one does, but one must do anew, change one’s actions, change one’s ideas, become a warrior in one’s own life. To see life with different eyes, fresh eyes, such eyes that are not exhausted by stubborn views and oppressing situations; therefore, a new breath must bring a fresh start, which means boldly gather yourself and keep making yourself better without stopping to self-pity or to entertain the opinions of others.

Opinions are never facts for the warrior who is wise and based on truth, so opinions do not shake him one bit when the fools of the world open their mouths to spew their ego-centered garbage.

When everyone else sees darkness and chaos, you must see light and order; thus, your mind becomes the mind of a warrior whose only purpose is the truth. And the truth is that which lies within yourself, and the truth is what makes the warrior because self-love is the truth; then, whenever you see lies and deceit in the world, whenever people and situations try to pressure you into lying to yourself, into deviating from your own path, your mind will be strong and firm upon the truth which is deep within you.

This is what separates the warrior who sees and knows the light from the individual who only survives in the darkness because he does not see and know the light in himself; thus, the warrior is never lost, and the individual in darkness is lost even until physical death comes to claim him, and when that happens the fool has lost his time.

Superior man.

“You cannot believe in God until you believe in yourself.” ~ Swami Vivekananda; Indian Hindu monk, a chief disciple of the 19th-century Indian mystic Ramakrishna.

“Be. Don’t try to become.” ~ Osho.

Men, more than women in this aspect, have to look deep within themselves and get more in touch with their emotional bodies, feel more by looking into the silence of their own beings; and also, like women, stop dwelling in the fear of rejection and judgement from the ignorance in the world of form and deceit. Many things drive superficial man, but fewer things drive the inner man; because the innermost recesses of the soul need no drive, they just are… and it is there that man comes into being, thus the realization of the superior man.

Awakening is the inner realization that you are already all that you need, that you are already all that is, that you are connected to all; so necessity for anything above you is the delusion of the unawakened one, who is always searching for something better out there, always seeking for love and happiness desperately.

The connection to the heart is what this man of the world lacks, and when he thinks he follows his heart he is just following his own ego masked as the pure heart; so he fears the opinions and judgement coming from other men, even lesser men. He is lost in the world, and he becomes violent by losing himself and his true purpose.

There must be then an internal revolution honoring the wisdom in man, honoring the real strength of the light in man; so he can be the example, who does not shy away from being connected to his priorities and his inner wisdom, who does not listen to the superficial masses of people who claim to know what a man is.

He is now a light unto himself and unto others, and he is understanding and patient, and he is wise and a protector because he knows what love truly is and he dares not deny it.

He is his own master and god, and he denies not what he is to the ignorant world.

He shouts his true happiness to the world.

My Eye.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be?” ~ Marianne Williamson; American spiritual teacher and author.

The Fire and The Waters

There is a magic well up in the heavens,
Waters of life which carry your image.
There is fire over the waters which burns eternally,
And its flames carry the truth of the waters.
There is a source of life in the soul of man,
And the passion for freedom burns over it.
Man blindly poisons the waters of life
And treads over his own soul.
He blatantly denies life and buries the fire,
He chains himself and ignores the passion.

I am here to see far beyond worldly perception,
The life essence which the heart in fire knows.
I am here to understand more than minds tell,
The freedom essence is the truth in my soul buried.
But where is the rationale of the ordinary man…??
Is it buried under the mud of his ignorant footsteps…??
The fire which fuels his muddy footsteps still burns,
The waters still carry his image of sheer divinity.
My heart cries because true love has vanished,
My heart cries because self-knowledge has gone.

~ Asa.

“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.” ~ William Shakespeare.

My Eye

Over the mud of the past me and the trail of hazy vision

I rode the midnight train with doubt and indecision,

Where she stood as a mirage in the pantheon of My Eye,

Where she tempted my ignorance disguised as noble ally.

The stars and the moon were glowing but I was blind,

Time was the illusion of my impatience blooming in mind;

Man cannot see the vast forest when he sees the lonely tree,

Thought of aging is the obsession which cannot let you be.

My path was marked by my fears and frustrations,

As mankind hates itself and poisons all nations.

I saw it with My Eye as the night fell heavy on my soul,

The anger which distanced me from the universal whole.

As I made way through the station I saw destiny again,

As morning light woke me I saw the enslaving chain;

Then I contemplated myself as I awoke from the illusion,

The self-reflection fell upon the blind mob in confusion.

What is man if not his own master…??

What is destiny if not his creation…??

The darkness and light must be harmony inside.

The awakening in me lies in the visions of My Eye.

~ Asa.

The Spirit of All Things.

Post author By thegodwithinblog
Post date December 5, 2017
No Comments on The Spirit of All Things.

“The destruction of the natural beauty, the ecosystems, and the majesty of mountains affect us in ways we’re not even aware of. Every time a mountain is beheaded, we chop off a little part of our souls.” ~ Gloria Reuben; Canadian producer, singer and actress of film and television.

The Spirit of All Things

The seas weep at the neglect,
The winds howl at the fog,
The busy man dwells in ignorance,
He does not know his spirit is The spirit of All things.

There is the deep beauty of the trees,
Where The Spirit Of All Things lives,
Where man finds true freedom,
Where man meets harmony.

True beauty is the love which eternally shines
Beyond all that man sees and hates.
True beauty is gentle and kind to the spirit–
So why cannot man see the true beauty in the tree…??

The great Spirit of All Things lives everywhere,
And it recognizes the gentleness of true beauty.
Man wears his mask of ugliness and cannot see it,
He treads on beauty and despises himself.

Man walks blind to reality and fears the love of all things;
He fears the truth of beauty for it rattles his ego,
He fears The Spirit of All things because it is him.
There is no heaven in the hell of his sin.
