A New Way

The easy path

It’s easy to remain the victim. It’s easy to harden your heart. It’s easy to hold on to the pain, the sorrow, and to the injustice of the past. It’s easier to lock yourself and hide from what’s new and unknown to you.

Because you instinctively seek self-preservation, don’t you?? Yes, the mind has a way to seek the easy path, to stay on what you know, and to mask your pain. It is a vicious cycle that consumes you and your life.

The discovery

Unless you break that cycle and take off your mask by welcoming the unknown into your life. That’s how you evolve, progress, and discover yourself. You cannot do it by choosing to stay safe in your cocoon.

Love, if true, is a discovery. It moves you from within. Then it moves you from without, in your choices, in your actions. It moves you to do new things, to challenge yourself, to create a new path that may scare you a bit.

The Courage that comes…

Yes, a new life that you, deep inside, really want but feels overwhelming right now. And it is why true love, true happiness, requires courage. This courage comes not from analyzing and thinking obsessively.

No, this courage comes from new choices, new actions, from letting go of your past, letting go of the fear, letting go of the intellectual persona you always adopt to mask your pain.

A new mind

Letting go you discover so much more about yourself, about who you really are. Believe me, nothing is as beautiful as freedom. To be able to let go and not take yourself and that pain you carry so seriously all the time.

The truth is that your mind is useless if it is allowed to hold on to memories, because discovering a new life, a new love, requires a new mind, a new mindset. So, open your mind and your heart to the mystery, to the unknown, to the new in life.

Your own cage

Freedom

Think about this. Think freely, without crutches or bias. After all, freedom is what matters in this life. Without it, obviously, you are just living a lie, pretending just to fit in, disrespecting yourself and losing yourself. In losing yourself, you distance yourself from you and from what you seek.

People that feel like they need to hide the truth, lie, cheat, pretend, have no freedom. They desperately seek it, through sex, through many ideology groups, through exaggerated romantic gestures; but this is their cage, over and over again.

Purpose

And they never understand why it is their cage. They certainly fail at life. And they fail because life is only a period created in existence to discover your humanity, your mind, your heart. That is the only true purpose of life.

That purpose being an inner discovery, and the rest is just a choice, thrilling or not, to play games created by your own anxiety. The anxiety that comes from not understanding life’s purpose and why you have a mind and a body.

Games

Who gave you the mind and the body you have?? How to use them to find that freedom/that love and happiness you seek?? How to create your purpose and leave a legacy on this earth??

The games of the mind brought by your anxiety. Games that make you act out. Sometimes you’re the victim of another anxious person who plays games. Sometimes you’re the anxious one playing these games on another, maybe without knowing.

Everybody wants to take a look in the mirror and learn/better themselves/leave the games for the sake of a better humanity. But most never do, keep failing and failing. In order to not fail though, obviously, you have to actually change the way you do things–the small, day-to-day things. So, think about what this actually means.

Energy & Choices

A thing needed

In life, in all aspect, nothing is needed more than patience. Most of the time, that is what is required to move on. To start anew, things need to evolve at their own pace; and all questions will be answered at the right moment.

We are capable of doing anything, but the mind must be disciplined through patience first. That is rising above your own psychological and emotional misery, which is attachment to pleasure and to pain from your past, and attachment to your desires and frustrations about what may or may not come.

A thing we choose

The path is whatever you choose, wherever your actions take you, and it involves the state of your mind first. What creates your life is your actions, but the source of that life is the energy you create. Positive energy will create positive actions. Negative energy will create negative actions.

That is how one creates one’s life. A good life, a life we want. A not so good life, a life we learn to despise. It all starts in Creation. Creation begins in the mind. The mind is its own content. The content is based on your positivity or negativity. That is why choice is each moment, and it begins in the mind.

Finding Balance

Balance

What do women (the feminine) bring to the world?? Perhaps beauty, inspiration, empathy, patience, hope, creativity, etc. What do men (the masculine) bring to the world?? Perhaps Stubbornness, ideals, ambition, impulsiveness, courage, etc.

Imagine a world without women–a world lacking those traits. Imagine a world without men–a world lacking those traits. If we really think about it, without our own pride getting in the way, they both bring balance to each other.

Details

Although one can seem much more important than the other. But is it?? Nothing is perfect. No one is perfect. Each one of us carries influence from another, from a man, from a woman.

The devil is in the details. God too. Watch your own thoughts, your own way of thinking, your own behaviors and habitual ways. Find out who you are and why you may hold and carry grudges from your past, from other persons–whether men or women.

Freedom

So many mental distortions and illnesses are born from not knowing who we really are. Childhood traumas or influences seep into our unknown psyches (subconscious), then come out in our known psyches (conscious).

Freedom, the capacity to experience happiness and love. This comes only to us if we are absolutely honest with ourselves. I’m talking about that self-exploration that goes beyond the opinions, ideas, influences, and “prescriptions” society offers us to keep us subservient.

Questioning

Subservient because, the way society is formed, it all runs on profit. Financial profit. Religious profit. It is all about mental (emotional) manipulation disguised as freedom, as love, as happiness.

So, what happens?? The weak-minded, the ones who lack that self-exploration, chase, and chase, and chase what they offer. The pursuit of happiness. Without ever questioning. But is there really freedom in this prison??

The One Bad Habit

So much of it

And why is it…? ? Over and over again. So much thinking, pondering, trying to resolve, demanding ourselves to know why it isn’t working. Most of our lives is spent like this. Most of the time we are not even aware of this damaging habit.

Damaging habit because it stresses us, it might make us create false scenarios in our heads. Then negative feelings, depression, doubt, self-victimization. These make our lives seem like a burden, like something that cannot be changed. I’ve been there. You’ve been there.

But it’s about listening

It is not really nature to fall for this trick, this programming of the mind, instead of listening to intuition, to the buried voices of nourishment, hope and positivity that we all have deep inside.

It’s easy to listen to intuition when everything goes as expected in your life though. It’s not that easy when events deviate from what we want, right?? So, this is the challenge we all face. Look at it as a marathon, not a race.

And it is always there

Don’t rush yourself. Take your time. Forgive yourself. We all make mistakes. The key is to go back and remind ourselves to become aware, to stay aware. Each time, like this, we strengthen this muscle of the mind, like we can strengthen a muscle in the body by repetition.

And so, that is how intuition is strengthened, by slowly and patiently getting rid of the clutter in your mind, by weakening the programming/the habit of the mind of overthinking. The power is always there, just buried deep under intellectual layers that make us question our own capacities to feel accomplished and happy.

Just a Formula…

Freedom & The Formula

While love is an essence of freedom outside comprehension, one must understand that everything starts with the attraction the brain creates. I must understand how to attract you, how to charm you, how to treat you in order for a relationship to work.

In this sense, it is a purely mechanical formula. I am myself, but I know how you think and feel; therefore, I can see a way to create the attraction in a way relatable, or recognizable, to you. This formula then requires great empathy in order to project myself and feel what you feel. You must then do the same.

Grow it Like a Muscle

From then on, we can feel each other’s experience; thus we merge. What we call Oneness. Then a recognition, that love is not a magical essence. But love follows attraction/this formula. As long as we attract each other, love will be there and free us.

If love then is to flourish and stay in our hearts, the formula must stay too. Don’t let yourself go. Love is everything the brain recognizes as love. This love must grow, be strengthened like a muscle. Nothing is a given. Pay attention to detail.

Say it & Make it Remain

Work on your body and mind. Care about your intelligence, your health of mind and body. Grow in empathy. Be tactful with the other one’s feelings. Respect your own feelings. Work on becoming attractive in all aspect, to you and to your partner/or to the one you seek to attract.

You only deserve, and will get, what you understand how to attract. This core value/fact is true for everything in life. Say with meaning: ‘I Will Love You For Ever’ or ‘Until Death Do Us Part’. But, understand, love will keep us happy and free in the relationship as long as the attraction remains.

Beasts of Tarmul

This is the beginning of the new part in “Benjamin Jones – Son of Darkness” (now a work in progress), which is #5 in the epic dark-fantasy series.

Each beginning or part starts with a short poem into the epic section of the events.

Check my website for more on this new series.

PART  18

Beasts  of  Tarmul

From  Tarmul’s  mouth  the  beasts  be  born.

From  Tarmul’s  skies  heard  be  great  horn.

Hear  ye  now  who  comes  from  the  depths!

Hear  ye  now  who  brings  such  many  breaths!

Such  Supreme  Being,  ancient  Son  of  The  Dark;

For  it’s  He  who  comes  as  the  story’s  antihero,

For  he  within  the  prophecy  plays  great  part,

For  he  brings  that  ancient  beast  of  death,  Spiro.

Why  has  He  come??  And  where  is  our  Ben??

That  original  boy  who  was  lost  and  then  found.

Magic-born,  his  soul  ancient  and  free  from  men.

And  now  new  God  visiting  that  Úgolff  Mound.  

He’ll  be  summoned  by  odd  and  occult  Plant,

He’ll  be  fierce  and  just  within  fight  most  cruel;

As  the  fields  light  up  great  power  it’ll  grant,

Against  new  perils  from  below  with  no  rule.

The Only Thing…

Change…??

Change is what drives me to you, always. Because deep inside I seek a change that brings affection, value, freedom in me. Because change is the currency of life, of evolution. But any change is uncomfortable at first, until we realize its truth.

But the ones who get stuck in the past, in traditions, in ways of thinking and believing, are the ones who suffer and are always in confusion, and in war and holding grudges. So what is it about change?? What does it mean??

Society…??

Change is the nature in us. The One deep inside us. The One that loves and enjoys the evolution of life without reason. But the superficial us, the so-popular and egomaniac us seeks to attach itself and avoid change.

Society promotes this avoidance. Because avoidance of change keeps you buying over and over again, and attached to political philosophies and religious ways of thinking, and subservient to what they say and have established in the many systems throughout history.

Free…??

After all, society, the way is built, works only if people’s minds remain enslaved like this, and unaware of their own slavery. But, on the other hand, in order to accept any change, whether good or not so good, one must become free from society.

Free from what it promotes, its influence on your mind and activities that become compulsive and possessive. No one is above change. You and I can only become truly free, in love and happy in life through accepting and welcoming all change.

Rising, becoming, being

What are your unique core values…??

Reflecting on your core values involves taking time to think about what is most important to you, for your growth. You can start by asking yourself questions such as: What do I value most in life?? What brings me true happiness and fulfillment without clinging to others/events/things??

What principles do I want to live by?? You can also think about times when you felt particularly challenged or fulfilled and what values were present in those situations. Writing down your thoughts and feelings can also be helpful in the reflection process.

Who are you…??

Just know that by doing this, with honesty, you are 90% ahead of the world, since most people do not realize their own internal power and thus cling to the events in society instead of really investing in self-knowledge.

And no one can really tell you who you are, what truly brings you everlasting happiness, and what is your purpose in existence in this society. These are matters that can only be discovered by you, by reflecting on them, without letting any infatuation and obsession for anything outside you influence you and your choices.

What is truly real…??

Growing up, maturing, experience your life is a challenge. Parents, friends, people and ads on TV, old philosophies, new philosophies, religions, scriptures–these will all try to steer you one way or the other, these will all try to mold your conscience however they think is best or better for you.

But, no matter your loyalty to them, all these still are outside influences of no real substance (because the only real substance is you). Nothing is real but you, which means nothing can manifest true love and happiness in your life unless you manifest it yourself, by knowing you and by letting go of all outside reflections/confusions.

The purest essence

Truly unique/rare/pure

The greatest and purest love. The love that transcends time and space. The love that gives unlimited and absolute freedom. This is the love for life. love that keeps you inspired, strong, optimistic, visionary, and able to access empathy and understanding for your past, your present, and your future.

But, to be honest, it is truly rare to actually discover this love within oneself. Most of us seek any signs of this pure love outside ourselves, specially when it comes to jumping from relationship to relationship. And so the concept and belief of “falling in love” and “falling out of love” is born in the mind.

An un-attached mind

So popular in society and in people’s lives now-a-days. The depression. The isolation. The loneliness. The feelings of unworthiness. The suicidal ideas. Most mental issues. A lack of identity. All this is born from this concept and belief of a beginning and an end of/to love. Like love is a mere object and idea the mind plays with.

Like love relies on who you meet and on what happens outside in society. But, whether we want to admit it or not, the fact of the matter is that for freedom to truly exist then the mind must get rid of all concepts and ideas, thus getting rid of a beginning and an end of/to love.

Inner freedom

Because love is essential for life. Because there is no life without love. Because life is to be enjoyed fully, and you can only enjoy it through the purest love. The greatest mistake is to lean on concepts, philosophies, and beliefs telling us that love is out there.

I know from experience, because I thought like this for decades. But I finally understand that true love is inner freedom, thus letting go of everything and anyone out there.
