The one who listens…

As we live we fear what may happen, and we fear what was long ago, and we fear what we do not understand; therefore, the excuses are many and the fear we have grows and grows.  Maybe new fears appear as we embark on new journeys, in meeting new people, new challenges and situations in our life, frustrations galore due to unresolved issues and dark visions of a future.  We feel like everything is against us, and above all we become impatient because we do not see a way out or even a little bit of progress; but this is not us, whatever we are experiencing is of time, it passes, it is a trick from the mind however real to us. 

Nothing can really hurt you and kill your hopes, “break” you heart and deny you better opportunities for progress; for your mind is the obstacle, and if you tame your mind and do not just react you shall see heaven. 

silent-mind-

By saying that you shall see heaven I do not mean that everything will be perfect, obviously; but what I mean is that if you tame your mind you can really get in touch with yourself and find that harmony and silence that you are deep inside.   Once you are born, as you go on growing, your conscious mind develops, experiences that shape your persona, anxiety and stress become you, memories begin fear in you; but as you age only your humanity gets taken like this, that source of eternal energy that is you still lies within, immutable, perfect, wise, intuitive, connected to a higher awareness.  You can feel it when you become silent and meditative, without distractions and without anxious thoughts, can you not…??


Each one of us has this, we are it, beyond whatever we suffer and live; furthermore, you must seek this within yourself and wake up to life, and see that it has much more to offer than frustrations and problems.  When you see darkness remind yourself that light is there as well, it is the same essence or energy; but it is just a matter of how you look at it, either with a busy, overwhelmed and anxious mind, or with a faithful and meditative mind.

Perfect mirror…

everything-in-your-life-every-experience-every-relationship-is-a-mirror-of-the-mental-pattern-that-quote-1
Life is you, and you are life.  There is no other experience to you but yours, and that is how you live the best life–by following your own experience.  Sadly, there are people out there who live guided by the experience of others instead of by their own; and so, religion is born, politics is maintained by the ignorant rabble, and wars on nations are thriving due to idiots who follow their unwise masters.  And all this happening in the world is relationship, atrocious and misguided relationships with society; such stupidity going back and forth, seeking a “solution,” seeking “truth,” reaching for “justice” in the very depths of hell, so no one has a good relationship with oneself.  If you have a good, honest, truthful, loving relationship with yourself then you have all the love, understanding and happiness you need–i.e., you have found God and the eternal, you have found paradise and all source of strength.  Have you found all this in you yet…??  (Be honest with yourself).

If you have a good and loving relationship with yourself you do not need religion, and you do not need to sustain and argue about politics, and you do not need to support any wars, and you do not live eating meats and fats, and you do not live pleasing your family, and the rest of the nonsense people do.  So, I ask you again, have you found true love within yourself yet…??  Do you really have a good and honest relationship with yourself…??

quote-only-in-relationship-can-you-know-yourself-not-in-abstraction-and-certainly-not-in-isolation-the-jiddu-krishnamurti-346129
Relationship then is being human.  Why…??  Because being human, the reality of it, is behavior, not a thought or a feeling or an intention.  Only through relationship, through behavior you live experiences and know yourself; this is life, ongoing adventure, exploration, progress, shaping your character, learning how to treat yourself and others.  But if you are just living without learning, without actually improving and observing your own behaviors towards yourself and others, then what is the point…??  Just living without learning, without becoming better and progressing in character in relationship, is poverty, human poverty, poverty of mind, poverty of character (a weak woman, a weaker man); thus, the mirror is cracked and you only see yourself distorted, ugly and ignorant in the relationships you have in life–in your job, in your family, with your husband, with your wife, with your kids, with yourself, without love, without deeper understanding of what you go through, suffering over and over again and feeling depressed each time.

Look around you, whatever or whoever is nagging you, whatever or whoever is stressing you or making you suffer in any way, is the relationship you have with life and with people; and you have no one to blame but yourself, even though your ego will find excuses and put guilt on others.  You project into the world, into your situations, into people, what you are and how you treat yourself; for all life is, indeed, is a relationship–i.e., your divinity is in relationship with your humanity, and your humanity with the world you experience with your physical eyes…  So, focus on yourself and the most important relationship, and the rest will mirror it perfectly…

Real Man’s Roar!

34750919_470907620009272_5986503928890523648_n
Man must be ruled by his emotions instead of being wasted by his intellect.  But the man of the world is empty, angry at life and seeking more of this and more of that, thinking that intellect is what better rules himself and prospers the world; however, you look around you and you see all sorts of chaos and destruction happening–i. e., wars nation against nation, rape, murder, vain exploitation of all divine nature, poverty, famine, political divisions and misconducts which hurt peoples, etc.  Surely you understand who is guilty of this today, who really rules the world and started all this stupidity…??  Who rules the world by bullying and destroying love and emotional connection…??–Is it woman??–Is it man??

Who heads the mediocre churches and governments…??  Who is blind to the beauty and simplicity of the flower, or rigid to the tears or joy which a work of art can evoke in the heart/in the emotional body…??

images

There is a great seed of mediocrity stemming from the intellect in all of us, but it is greater so in the unawakened men of the world; and this seed is what drives men to commit all these crimes against all nature, for this seed is the unbalance of his own psyche, for this seed is his poor choice.  Man has an emotional body but he chooses to follow society and vanish his emotions from his own life, thus he believes he is driven by intelligence being guided by his intellect, yet he stands blind to the fact that it is his own intellect that which brings destruction and chaos to his relationships and life in general–and especially it is intellect who destroys him from the inside.  One cannot know oneself by mere intellect, but one must be in direct connection to one’s own emotional content.

Deep emotions awaken man, elevate the individual and forge the perfect gentleman.  Can you see this for yourself….??  So, when man is awakened he denies the dull power of his intellect, he places it as second place; for his emotions come first–for his emotions love, create, understand deeply, connect to all life.  Are you yet to awaken as a true man…??  Because rationalization and your mechanical views can take you only so far, but emotions can open all doors and link you to The Infinite.

The Pits of Greed.

f043b3eb91e8be774a9b7c506d93f0ab

Greed, lust, ambition, come as a result of feeling, perhaps subconsciously, inferior, or because you desire to show how knowledgeable, how superior, or how passionate you are–and so the state of mind is one of agitation and selfish desire.  You want to reach the pleasure for yourself.  You desire to show your superiority over others.  You feel the need to display your knowledge and prowess for others to see.
It is very human, and it can happen to any of us; however, if allowed to overtake us, these strong feelings or intense emotions can make us their slaves unbeknownst to us, they can blind us, they can drive us somewhere we do not want to be, and they can transform who we truly are.  So, be always aware..


“The Pits of Greed.”

Flames came rushing and took me to hell!
Thou presence into a cage made me dwell:

I felt thy scorching flames in my very existence,
My body cried in agony of a thousand demons,
O as thou remained the hell of my resistance!
Allowed by my choices over those of the soul.
I was once blessed with love and freedom,
Chained not to thy horrors but to individuality
To be my own self with compassion and reason,
Beyond thy cruel pity and thy intense hate
Which cuts my marrow and boils my blood
Whilst keeping my conscience a sealed fate.
But I reach the summit of my lesson now,
In purity and nobility I grow my conscious seed;
For no greater gift in me The One does endow
Than to be rid eternally of The Pits of Greed.

Mental forces.

What is the daily task of the human being…??  Why do you have to become aware of the very thoughts which you attend…??
As your mind molds and shapes, gives intention and quality to raw energy, thoughts are given birth and summoned, consciously and subconsciously; then images appear, inventive or imaginative scenarios pop up in the vapors of your mind.  And now that important and even vital factor we call attention comes into play, and as the new thoughts vibrate attention comes like the moth to the flame, sometimes unbeknownst to us as this happens quicker in the unaware individual.  Attention is that which gives further boost of energy to a thought and makes it stronger, such strength in desire and passion; attention takes the thought-form from a mere essence in your mind into a passionate feeling which vibrates with great intensity.  How intense…??  It depends on the thought.
Quotes-The-Secret-Law-of-Attraction-Plus-04

It is then up to us to be aware and awake to the thoughts we allow attention to make powerful.  We all know of the downfall of man, that the very thought which he attends and gives affection becomes his very destiny, whether sealed misery or sealed happiness he makes his own fate.
  Mental forces are the very magical vehicle to create in your life, are they not…??  You must master these forces then, do you not…??

These forces are vibratory excitation, quantum particles given intensity to attract other, same-vibrational forces and repel those that vibrate at a different rate.  The task of the human being given higher intelligence, endowed with the mighty will, or the mystical power of attention, is to become self-aware and recognize these forces as quickly as these thoughts are given birth and allowed to swim in the waters of your mind…  You must keep a meditative mind and become aware of how your mind brings about thought-forms at all times, in order for you to realize and lead a positive and blissful life you can truly love…

Allow it to guide you…

You must realize what is really important in your life.  You must make a conscious decision between what your intellect tells you and what your heart tells you.  A good and prosperous life is not a life guided by intellect, but one guided by the empathy and understanding of your heart; thus, you must live and love untainted by the rigidity and vanity of the ego.
fall-2015-peace-week-spirituality-the-ocean-2

Be aware of the people around you who is decent and who desire the best for you, quite often not perfect but with a pure and honest heart; for these persons might not be well-educated or even have the same ideas, aspirations, and beliefs you have, but they may bring you the emotional drive you need in certain moments of struggle.

History is full of people whose vanity and pride was so big that they left behind their loved ones and the people who truly cared for them just to follow their egos and chase after superficial conquests–i.e., women, men, money, higher class, more hours at their job, etc. etc.  Sometimes what we chase is not better per se but pure vainglory, because we are trying to escape our own emptiness, insecurities, feelings of inferiority, and any fears perhaps from past memories.

Honesty is the best policy and so you must be honest with yourself, and make sure you surround yourself with the people that truly loves you and cares for your development; and no matter what happens learn to understand them and forgive their faults, because no one is perfect and we all need each other…  In a world which is so vain and superficial, where family, friendship, and love is just the second-class citizen, you must raise yourself above this and become a free and compassionate individual–i.e., remember what is truly important, be guided by your heart…

Realize your own stupidity.

The thoughts appearing in your consciousness like quick materializing vapors which seek your attention are not important, not even relevant, but the paramount transformation of your being is the process which comes right afterwards, which has all the relevance; that is, the thoughts you choose, mold, strengthen, and follow with your attention.   Attention is extremely powerful, and the most important tool you have; for with full attention you are able to focus on a particular idea and go somewhere, form relationships, create beautiful art, gain confidence and be happy.
f6c07969f6dc489cbec7535e1b1acc4c
Can you see how attention shapes you and brings everything to you, how it makes you great or it destroys you if misguided….??

And, of course, this attention must come then with your better choosing of thoughts, with your better judgement, as thoughts that do not serve you and elevate you should not be given attention, but just let them flow and disappear into the oblivion of your own psyche.  The mind, or its content of thoughts, tends to work mechanically, manically in a loop, conditioned and repeating the same old patterns; however, you must be highly aware of this in your own experience lest you start living in your own hell, flames which shall destroy your higher capacities as a human being.  And such hell by being trapped into the same self-defeating patterns of thinking, and so reliving the same fears over and over again without allowing yourself to learn better.

Why would you allow yourself to remain stuck in the same rut…??  Isn’t your life a continuous progress, a further reach into better things to come…??  And you create your life, you bring progress into your life, right…??–Or perhaps you are waiting for some god up in the skies to throw blessings at you, with your nonsense prayers and idiotic images of Buddha and Jesus.  Are you waiting for that then…??  Well, if you are, it is because you have yet to awaken from stupidity.  And it is stupidity what keeps you down and in the dream; that state of stupidity is the ignorance you won’t allow yourself to see.  This stupidity is your vain ego in mechanical mode working daily in you.  Become aware of it!

Sitting upon a blue lotus.

Padmasana-SEcret-YOga

The Blue Lotus is the symbol of the victory of the spirit over the senses, of intelligence and wisdom, of higher knowledge.  From the drawings on the pyramids of Egypt to the smaller lessons written on your own life experiences, all is symbols and messages in life; and so, whomever understands them rules his or her world as a god or goddess.  The blue lotus then, victory of our higher self over the lower self, and it is the pure light, the godly energy in the conscience of the Enlightened Man.  A blue lotus represents the embodiment of the “perfection of wisdom;” a higher dimension of thought or conscious realm where the mundane life is seen as part of the whole and not the origin of struggle and suffering.  Here intuition and insight guide the awakened man.

All is one and we are to understand this wherever we go, for beyond all your troubles, mental frustrations, and self-designed “failures” in life, if you look past those with a meditative mind, within yourself, you shall find the wisdom of a blue lotus…

 

Sitting upon a blue lotus.

Through life the mind has always been the reflection
Of the emptiness escaped by man in corrupted games,
And it has ruled with tyranny without mercy or affection
Which has unleashed the unconscious beast in flames.
What is mankind to do in this world so tainted then…??
The chains of Cause and Effect are strong in the lost,
For the lost is like the mighty ship set adrift at sea.
The blooming flower needs sunlight, it dies in the frost,
As man blooms in pure light and dies in mediocre plea.

Sitting upon a blue lotus I see the vapors of turmoil,
Immersed in the energy of God I find the purest light
Glowing thus in the darkest corners of my human toil;
And so, of this I transmute my own vanity and fright.
Can you live blissfully without vanity and fright…??
I observe in meditation the ripples of the gentlest void,
I vanish all forms of duality and ignorant society affair;
I sit upon this lotus and watch the old me being destroyed,
O I feel the Feathers of Ascension within me everywhere.

The Samurai and The Zen Master.

1464253877
One day a samurai came to Zen Master Hakuin and asked, “Where is paradise…??  Where is hell…??  And where are the gates of heaven and hell..??”  The Zen Master looked a bit surprised, then asked, “Who are you??”  Then the samurai proudly replied, “I am the leader of samurais and the Emperor pays tribute to my greatness.”  Hakuin laughed and said, “Are you really the leader of samurais…??  You look like some poor ragamuffin!”
Feb-4-Wisdom-Story

The samurai’s pride was hurt.  He forgot why he had come in the first place, whipped out his sword and was going to kill Hakuin.  Then Hakuin laughed again and said, “This is the gate of hell.  With a sword, being in anger, with your ego you will open it. ” The samurai realized that idea, calmed down and sheathed back his sword.  Hakuin continued, “And now, when you calm down, you open the gate of heaven.”

 

Your mind is the playground of demons and angels, the birth of heaven and hell, the origin of duality; and this is your very humanity screaming and pulling you to one extreme of the pole or to the other.  And thoughts are your masters when you are asleep (when the human mind is in a mediocre state).  And thoughts become your servants when you are awake (when the human mind has been lit by divinity and wisdom).  One must see that thoughts do not have a reality of their own until you give them one, they remain part of you as your children–children you must watch and raise properly.

It is important you wake up to this and see that the thoughts you are having now must not become your masters and overwhelm you; but see, observe, meditate over each thought, raise your child properly, and discover that you must mature yourself over them.  You must become a light unto each thought you choose, so you can create your feelings, own your behaviors, build your path with wisdom and truth instead of immaturity and lies.

In times of darkness…

C8ztOm6UQAAhd5U
The tests of every day must be allowed to open way for the divine light to enter into our lives, into the way we see ourselves and life itself; in this way we become masters instead of slaves chained to environment and the desires and outbursts of others.  And so we are elevated over the daily challenges we face.  Because most of us find it easy to be strong and positive in times of happiness and comfort, but the character of a person cannot be forged and elevated in these mentioned times of joy; the opposite is true, it is in times of struggle and hardship where the gold is, where the messages and lessons are hidden and waiting to be discovered by us.
Moments of darkness, of pain, of terrible loss, have a very important reason for existence in the midst of our lives, do they not…??

e501a01699f45709ca057c4cb989fc81

I do not believe higher awakening and divinity may happen in any of us if struggle, pain, loss, death, and the rest of these fears are not embraced, befriended, conquered, and surrounded by pure love.  An individual may be caring, utter nice words, mature in age and experiences lived, prayerful, and read many spiritual books, but he/she still might fear loss, death, and the rest, and so become reactive in times of struggle and pain.  He/she then may become of low morals and crooked character, even become mentally, verbally, and/or physically violent with others.  And so we can tell this person does not understand the higher nature of his/her own darkness, can we not…??   No, this person escapes the darkness and run towards the light in his/her ignorance, while he/she hides her real face behind the mask of moderation, intellectual and emotional prowess, and piety that he/she wears in public.

There is no measure which is higher and more meaningful than to be a man or woman who stands alone with power and confidence in moments of difficulty, and who shares his/her wise wealth with others suffering necessity and their own moments of darkness.  It is precisely this then what gives character and power to a person to celebrate the magnificence of life…  Remind yourself then to remain strong and confident in times of pain…
