Where is it…??

Confidence is the strength we gather through faith and commitment, and this confidence must be born within; therefore, it is something you must discover within and not without.

If confidence is obtained from your environment, from your job, from the people who surround you, from your looks, then it is not confidence; because it will not last, you are chained to time and to outer circumstances, and when you lose people around you, or lose your job, your looks, etc. etc.–what is left of that confidence…??

Confidence is the strength within you saying that you can be patient, work on yourself and on your goals, and be fully aware of where you are going without any external expectation.  Expectation then is what slowly kills confidence, because expectation is an attachment to something, and confidence is a part of your Higher Self which must be truly free and without attachments.

Attachments bring suffering, frustration, doubt, confusion; but confidence has no attachments whatsoever, because confidence lives in The Now–i.e., where there is absolute freedom and pure love.

So many times people confuse confidence with intellect due to our education system, such education system in society which values a human creature based on the content of their egos–i.e., on their knowledge.

And, sure, knowledge, a good education, can open doors in society; however, knowledge, education, I.Q., cannot give you happiness, cannot give you the experience of true love, for only your inner commitment and strength to achieve something can.

So, anything which is spiritual or of high morals and ethics can and will wake up your conscience for you to discover your own confidence and stand up on your own, through patience and faith, and through keeping your attention within you and not on your environment comparing your life to that of others.

By Intuition.

Most people around the world design ways to love and decides what love really is, but the substance which makes love what it is cannot be contained and created in their minds; and neither is it a by-product of intellectuals and philosophers.  Why not…??  Because love is the essence of freedom, no attachments whatsoever, no egotism whatsoever; and freedom is not something which can be contained by a mind, it goes beyond that.  Thus no-mind is love.

It cannot be a thought, it must be felt with your emotional body, which is the seat of your intuition.  Of course, intuition is not something most people uses or even dares find within themselves, they just get too busy using their minds to create false ways to love and concepts which explain love.  So, if one is to see this and accept it, one must trust oneself and others; which is not easy at first because the mind’s programming is to create everything from the intellect and protect it, and yet love cannot be created.

You must jump without attachment; and that is to guide yourself by intuition/without fear.

What Am I…??

Love is the human name which we give to what fills every atom in our bodies, and this divine energy of Creation resides beyond time and space, which is beyond every thought and feeling since these are of this named time and space. True love then is only known to us through a deeper connection, a powerful sense throughout our bodies.
johnlennon1
But beware of thoughts and feelings which talk of intense attraction and which create attachment, for this is not love but a form of expression which is stimulated by the physical senses.  This form of intense attraction is indeed attachment, and attachment is not freedom; but attachment is tied to a strong desire you have, to the desire of others, it finds identity in others, it makes you lost without others…  So, ponder deeply what love really is…

“What Am I…??”

Yes, as it be, my world has no bind,
I am from a place which is no place,
I am from a time which is no time,
Yes, I exist far beyond this space.
I came here to meet all and love all,
I stepped through the portal of flesh;
You and I freely flow towards the call,
Beyond idle chatter you and I mesh.

I am absolute freedom and I am you,
I do own all and I do not own things;
I am that which you see in the sky blue,
I am that which true happiness brings.
My very consciousness is most pure;
Enlightenment is my true level of Being.
Of society’s mental illness I am the cure;
You find me in you if you’re truly seeing.

Loss of Inward Magic.

What is it that makes someone jealous, or what is the state of mind which produces this sickness…??  How can people think that jealousy and love have any relation to each other…??  What is true love, which most people do not really know, if not magical and absolutely free…??
It all comes back to love, doesn’t it…??  If you want to understand why people does anything in life, if you want to understand yourself, seek to deeply understand the root of love; not romantic or any other concept society gives us of love, but seek to understand the beautiful and perfect essence of love connecting everything and everybody.  This careful study shall take you to the understanding of that false “love” people feels, namely ‘attachment.’  And this knowledge shall take you immediately to the understanding of fear itself.
understanding-love

Being jealous, for example, is a very dark and negative mindset, which it is away from pure love; thus, it concentrates on attachment, fear which agitates the mind and fogs higher conscience.  The same goes for all envy and covetousness, which live in the desperate and truly unloving mind; for this mind is attached to the outward situations, thus away from the inward state where all love dwells…  You do understand that true love really lives inwardly and not on the outside, right…??

When your attention falls on the world and you start basing your individual happiness on the person, on the family, on the material things, on the situations, then your mind becomes enslaved, your animal nature holds you captive, and your life falls under the rule of fear and your massive ego.  And that is exactly why your attention is the most important thing to be self-aware, thus your attention drives the success or failure of your life, it drives the true joy or misery you feel.

So, remain with your attention into yourself, inwardly, because you cannot become jealous or envious of anything or anyone if your attention remains in self-love–which is true love.

“Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition.  The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy – in fact, they are almost incompatible; one emotion hardly leaves room for the other”  ~ Robert A. Heinlein; American novelist, short story writer, essayist, screenwriter, aeronautical engineer, and lieutenant junior grade USN.

I dance with a friend…

Why do people waste their whole lives thinking about an “end”…??  Why can’t you see that life has no end…??  Why can’t you just let go of your fear and dance along this beautiful piece of art sounding in your human experience…??

Society, your family, your traditions, your beliefs, religions, books, have poisoned you.  Yes, they have cemented in you the firm illusion of an end because your body decays with time; but you still experience your energy– Does it decay as well…??  Does the energy inside the atom die…??  Or just the shell of the atom dies…?? …  But what you fear is not death itself, but it is losing your things, your physical relationships, your possessions, your positions in society–that’s what you fear.  Attachment is like shackles to you, such is a prison which does not let your consciousness elevate; thus, your creativity dies slowly and your fear grows…

Life is all there is, like love is all there is, like beauty is all there is; however, the ego, the lower consciousness in man, divides life with the thought of death, poisons love in man with fear, and makes beauty pleasant or unpleasant through culture, tradition, and personal experience.

1413392243_8688_720x420_f1
But there is no death in reality, just the loss of your ego and its attachments to matter.  Reality, just like sleep is your real state of existence where there are no boundaries and your spirit can soar freely and without impositions from your ego, is the true essence of life… of you.
All life is then, is a glorious dance…  And you must befriend the concept of death to lose all fear…

“I dance with a friend...”

Every day I observe his beautiful face,
He whispers my great value and beauty:
He utters divine words with perfect grace,
How I must not fear him in my daily duty.
“Would you dance with me…??” he says.
“Would you be my partner in this dance…??”
Love within me grows as I to him confess,
As we are joined in the eternal romance.

Yes, I dance with a friend and I am in love!
My profound dreams reveal his true heart.
Freedom becomes my human form as glow.
My spirit truly soars as all fear does part.
He tells me that my consciousness was ill,
For the conditioned brain had poisoned me;
He gave me health, conscience, good will,
For now I see life as The One eternal sea.

                                                                                    ~ Asa.

Deceiving yourself.

What is deceiving another….??  What is the origin of the desire to deceive another…??  Is deception born out of love, confidence, and understanding…??
What is the human mind if not the playground of the ego, where joy, misery, desire, fear, deception, and the rest emerge and pull on you…??  All desire of lying or deceiving another is born out of fear–i.e., fear of a particular reaction, fear of losing attachment, fear of unpopularity, etc..  Now, this ignorant and misguided behavior means we are allowing fear to lead us into our relationships, into our sense of identity, and in general into life; hence, we are blocking love and understanding from entering our own minds, and so we have found a false sense of security to overwhelm our minds and to rule our behaviors.
imagesu
In the way of lies and deception you are not allowing the truth to flow and you break the bonds of any relationship. You hurt others emotionally. And soon you hurt yourself.

And, of course, one cannot really know oneself if the mind is being guided by fear; for one can only know oneself if love fills the mind, thus if one truly loves oneself truth will guide one’s behaviors.  That is, behaviors with oneself and with another are guided by love and understanding, so one feels confident and there is no reason to lie or deceive.  Can you see then why deceiving another is the same as deceiving yourself…??

When you interact, communicate, do anything with another, your behaviors are guided either by love or fear; thus, if you form the idea in your mind to deceive another then you are deceiving yourself because fear is your master.  And when fear is your master, then all the anger, the frustration, the lying, the misconduct you brought upon another, stays also with you, in your own mind, stressing you and agitating your mind, and soon it becomes your persona and it shapes your daily thinking pattern in all of life’s aspects.

“You can’t know your real mind as long as you deceive yourself.” ~ Bodhidharma; Buddhist monk, Shaolin Kung Fu master, first Chinese patriarch, and writer.

Have you considered real love…??

“If you want the moon, do not hide at night.  If you want a rose, do not run from the thorns.  If you want love, do not hide from yourself. ”  ~ Rumi.

 

To love oneself, the elevation of oneself, the true knowledge of oneself, must be the purpose of our individual existence; because if one does not truly and absolutely love oneself, then one cannot truly love another being.  And it is not enough to say in your mind “I love myself,” but it is in the small things of our daily living where we must show ourselves love–i.e., in the way we eat, in the types of food we ingest, in the thoughts we entertain in our minds, in cleaning our place, in cooking for ourselves, in exercising, in the things we read, etc. etc.

So everything starts in this love for ourselves.  If you cannot accept and love yourself, everything and anything you do in life is superficial.  Without self-love, you are forced to fall in the trap of seeking love and happiness outside of yourself–i.e., in relationships, in situations, in jobs, in travels, in cultures, in religions, etc..  This seeking is the form of false “love” the ego has created in you, this fake “love” is attachment.

“Changed“

As the darkness settled I felt empty,
A void and an abyss deep within me.
The people who were lost were plenty,
A vast wilderness where I could not be.

The hidden loathing was for the many lies,
Which I told to myself every waking day.
And I would not listen to the loud cries,
Ill by the pleasures of my body’s decay.

But as I saw I became one with the light,
For before true love I knew estranged;
The darkness in me had been my sight,
The emptiness within had now Changed.

Will you learn real love in you…??

Without stop.

“Death is not the greatest loss in life.  The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.” ~ Norman Cousins; American political journalist, author, professor, and world peace advocate.

“For life and death are one, even as the river and the sea are one.” ~ Khalil Gibran; Lebanese writer, poet, and visual artist.


Time, as a necessary gift our minds create, has been given to us since the first speck of matter was formed, because time is what matter needs to exist; thus, in order for a process of any design, chemical or otherwise, to be given physical trajectory then time is vital, as well as space where events or processes can take place.

feature-image2
So, then time must be considered a gift, a blessing which moves this life forward, the one which allows you to experience everything, and the one which makes it all possible from one second of your life to the next.

This life then should be seen as time to experience and move forward, to develop yourself and your path in pure happiness, not to dwell in misery and suffering; time allows for all these, happiness and misery, and, even though we must embrace both, as both are part of life, there is no wisdom in dwelling in misery or pain more than is needed to learn and move on.

Because when you embrace the time you have and see it as a blessing, then you make everything about love and happiness, you don’t waste time being miserable, and you even make death into a door to a greater state or a graduation ceremony.


26168469_408301046269930_4164354282103538997_n
Death is only seen as the end or as very painful to your own experience if you live your life in attachment, if you only know and enjoy the pleasures of life, and if you crave relationships and material things as possessions/as source of considered happiness; for if you really understand and experience the essence of true happiness and love within yourself, beyond the superficial nonsense of man, then attachment and fear vanishes from your life and you see death as another stepping stone to something greater where you are absolutely free.

The wider view…

“Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.” ~ Theodore Isaac Rubin; American psychiatrist, and author.

“Life is not easy for any of us.  But what of that?  We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves.  We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.” ~ Marie Curie; Polish-French physicist and chemist.


Happiness, true happiness, is realized and experienced in the individual by having patience and perseverance, by having diligence and commitment to a cause; that all means struggle through challenges, a deeper understanding, and reluctance to quit.  Self-discipline is paramount through it all since self-discipline means passion to this superior commitment; this is the path to what lasts and to what gives profound meaning to our lives.

26165416_405491426550892_7840219330550708841_n
Of course, the rest is just fleeting pleasure, it will not necessarily be struggle nor make us get out of our comfort zones.  The lower mind, the animal condition in man will always tell us of the easy pleasures in life, where the ego feels comfortable and gives mere satisfaction to the same ego-centered mind; however, most of the time this does not last and the mind is like in a sugar rush… it is extremely excited and high… but soon afterwards the mind goes back to its normal state and then there is the immediate sugar crash…


But through intelligent planning, analysis, hard and consistent work, and a noble and pure passionate heart, happiness can be experienced, true and constant happiness that is and not mere excitement and pleasure with a disguise to fool us into happiness condition.


For example, most of the time people get into relationships while confusing a mere attraction to the pleasures of the same relationship with true happiness, and that is because they are fooled by their egos and the feeling it superficially creates in them; however, the feeling of happiness is pure and is not based upon attachment to a face, to an intellect, or to a personality–these things might help, but they do not connect two souls because these things are tied to change (one day they are there, the next day they may not be.

No, happiness is not pleasure.  Happiness is the deeper connection to a person or to an event just for the sake of giving love, for the sake of connecting; it has no reason more than the process of expanding love.   The ego expects love and happiness.  The pure heart just feels a soul connection and gives love because that is what it does… it just gives love… in the process of giving is the happiness experienced.

love-kahil-gibran-14-728

So, pay attention in your own life and learn to see the difference between true happiness and fleeting pleasure, between what lasts and what doesn’t.  This will guide you towards true success and happiness which is real and thus brings real value to your life, to your superior development.

Truly loving.

“Because one believes in oneself, one doesn’t try to convince others.  Because one is content with oneself, one doesn’t need others’ approval.  Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.”  ~ Lao-Tzu.

“Your problem is you are too busy holding on to your unworthiness.” ~ Ram Dass.


It is attachment to someone or to the idea of a relationship the one thing who distances you from self-love, and it clouds your rationale because it fills your mind with desire and obsession.

24852314_1161332267331424_9062714277074736169_n
When this happens you only see and feel what your ego designs, and so you start believing you are being guided by your heart when you are being fooled by your own selfish ego.

If another does not accept you how you are, if they force you to change, if they are always arguing and complaining about the way you are, then it means there is no love from their part; and you must love yourself enough to end the relationship.  Because happiness is not something you should struggle for, or beg for, and specially you must understand that happiness is self-love.  And how can you have self-love if you allow yourself to be forced to change and be controlled by someone who says he/she loves you…??

Life is not meant to be hell, unhappy, chained to struggle and suffering; but life is meant for you be yourself and surround yourself with people who really understand you and support your happiness. Thus, life is meant for you to elevate yourself in self-love and wisdom.


Communicate how you feel deep inside to others, let him/her know your innermost thoughts and feelings, and if there is no change in how you are being treated, then you will know that there exists no real love in the relationship.
1413638871556096
You must then do whatever is better for your own development, focus on your inner peace and embrace a strong self-love.  This is key to be happy and grow as a human being.
