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.

Anatomy and physiology of life Poetry and prose from the heart. The free mind of a human god!

As the flower and the bee and the sunlight…

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”  ~ Albert Camus; French philosopher, author, and journalist.

“The whole secret of existence is to have no fear.  Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one.  Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.”  ~ Swami Vivekananda.


To be an individual is to be mentally free to be absolutely curious and investigate life’s deepest meanings on your own, not collectively but as a divine and unique individual with thoughts and insights of his own, always elevating and opening doors of discovery into Creation itself.

25158120_399161403850561_8920049015915322422_n
Nature does not seek or rely on others for its own development, to find its purpose for existing; and so, flowers and the bee and sunlight do their work individually without expecting anything from the other (the ego seeks and expects, but the heart does not), and thus they are individuals who love for the sake of expressing themselves, and that makes each one of them free and unique.  Learn from Nature then.

 

To become aware is not in the intellect, how much information you have, or how interesting, deep and sharp your thinking is; but to become aware is to have an intimate and profound connection to your inner self, to your pure heart, to Infinite Intelligence, where you can see beyond the world of form and understand deeper constructs or meanings to better your own human existence.

Wisdom then becomes one with the path, and the flower and the bee and the sunlight one with you as you work in the world and express yourself by pure heart and not by mere thought.


So, the path becomes the constant realization in the journey of the awakened one; and thus, the awakened one becomes more and more awakened in every step he takes, because now he knows the meaning of his own existence in the world–such meaning which expands and grows even deeper and much more significant as he becomes more awakened through the time of his journey here on earth.

Life is a magical journey to awaken yourself as a divine individual, not a destination where you remain asleep and follow the masses wherever they go.

Clouds of Dreams.

“Write about the dream you see during wakefulness.”  ~ Debasish Mridha; American physician, philosopher, poet, and author.

“With the known, you simply repeat the process.  With the unknown, you access the new doorways to life.”  ~ Roshan Sharma; meditator, self-help blogger, and author.


Deep beyond our thoughts and desires, our perceptions and feelings, there are waters of light, within each of our atoms, within us all, within all; and so, these spaceless and timeless waters of light refresh us, give us the inner energy, the fuel to create whatever we are passionate about in this physical life.

This can be called Wakefulness as it is the eternal condition of our souls, of what we truly are; and this is why we cannot fail at anything in this life if we train our mortality, our ego-minds and our corrupted bodies, to sail these illumined waters into the right direction, the direction of our dreams and goals.

quote-wakefulness-is-the-only-saintliness-there-is-and-sleepiness-unconsciousness-is-the-only-rajneesh-56-76-92

The sailing of these waters, through patience and faith, with self-love and self-inquiry, shall awaken us into new perceptions and horizons more like the dreams we carry with us at night; such dreams of mystery and, quite often, new enlightenment into many things lived in our waking days, and dreams which carry the reality of our innermost beings.


You must trust your path then and not be swayed back and forth by the turbulent waters of your life, by the pressures imposed by your own ego and the ego of others around you; and you must hold on to your inner dreams and reach for strength and passion to endure the superficiality of this physical manifestation we call life.

24058959_391194204647281_2028549147742727341_n
So, make your dreams wake, let them carry you along and manifest what you truly are, namely the fresh waters of light.
The fear you can encounter along your path is just the superficial manifestation of your physical life and not the reality of it all, because your dreams are.

 

Clouds of Dreams
And who are we?  The conscious or the unconscious…??
And what is reality?  The world of form or the Clouds of Dreams…??
And whoever said we are the appearance of a thought-form…??
And whoever said we are the very experience in the dream…??
They walk tired and frustrated amongst the myriad of shapes,
The shapes and colors in the vain places are all they see;
The dreams are real but far from the vain places they visit,
For the essence of dreams are within the shapes and colors.
I experience Clouds of Dreams while they try to see it with their eyes.
Dreams are eternal clouds behind the shapes and colors in disguise.
                                                                              ~ Asa.
_In clouds of dreams we introduce birth and death. In clouds of dreams we experience pain and pleasure. Life is eternal and it gives life to the experience of our everyday experience. If

The Way…

“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”  ~ William Arthur Ward; American inspirational writer and poet.

“A good teacher is a determined person.”  ~ Gilbert Highet; Scottish-American classicist, academic, writer, intellectual, critic and literary historian.

To guide somebody with sincerity and truth is to really love yourself and that other person, because in this process you are putting yourself in the shoes of another, you are walking with another, and experiencing an awakening of sorts with another, and this is a deeper connection. 

CMJFPXfUEAEaIDt
But most people tend to judge other people and force them to see the truth, through heated arguments, through competitions of who is right and who is wrong, through displays of knowledge and all sorts of egotistical nonsense.

And therein lies the problem. Seeing the truth, choosing the truth and living it is not a desire you can introduce in others by force, but it is an experience which the other person at some point awakens to.

A person with good intentions and the heart for teaching others is a mere guide, a beacon which lights the way over the rough waters, a pointer of the truth; and so, one must not argue with others and think that the responsibility of making that other person see the truth is his, for this is the ego aggrandizing itself and distancing itself from the loving intention to help others.


The guidance and heartfelt desire to help someone develop himself is a strong character of wisdom and maturity; however, if you just desire to show off and display your understanding or knowledge unto others, then, you have been swallowed by the illusion of your own oversized ego.

 Think in terms of sharing the truth and your own experience with your example, perhaps, too, with kind and honest words; but do not see it as giving lessons or shaping the individual’s character or ways of thinking, because that is not your responsibility nor your mission in life.
23843479_390325951400773_4297152370227782379_n
Let it go, let the others be as they are; their own experiences carry the responsibility of shaping their characters, and not your massive ego.

Seeker.

“Peace comes from within.  Do not seek it without.”  ~ Buddha.

While thinking too much and living all day in your thoughts is a sure path to allow stress, worry, anger, and all tension to overtake your body, we have the real advocate for constant happiness and wisdom:  Our hearts.

heart-awakening-300x300

Through our pure emotions without the nagging insistence and interruption from thought, through our pure hearts, Infinite Intelligence works without obstacle from dogma, belief, or idea; therefore, this is the elevation of the human being via deeper connection to who we really are.


This establishes that everything and anything regarding thought is either pleasure or pain, and it is never happiness–i.e., the ego might make it look like happiness, but it is just an illusion tied to this plane of change.


Awakening to this, is indeed elevation and wisdom to see beyond the designs of the flawed thought of man–religions, governments, nationalities, social classes, etc.  It is unwise then to follow the illusion of a pathetic culture or thought that says, “Die for YOUR country,” or “Honor YOUR culture,” or “Praise YOUR religion and its beliefs.”

Outside of you there is only space and time and garbage from selfish men who are not awakened, nor will be if they keep veiling themselves from the truth, who then try to escape fear and confusion by designing flawed illusions to get your attention.

The only reality there is, the only true freedom there is, is found within yourself.


Awakening is waiting inside, not outside.

Transfigured.

“The most common ego identifications have to do with possessions, the work you do, social status and recognition, knowledge and education, physical appearance, special abilities, relationships, personal and family history, belief systems, and often political, nationalistic, racial, religious, and other collective identifications. None of these is you.”  ~ Eckhart Tolle.


Awakening is a privilege, a gift, never take it for granted, because it is the most precious jewel.  In my own experience I know, once you become truly conscious you start looking at your life and at the world differently, always looking to really improve and elevate yourself, try to achieve more as a human being.  This is truly rare, even though most people may have good intentions and be really nice individuals they can never fully experience the joys of life not being truly awakened to their true selves.

maxresdefault
Awakening takes you over, it elevates your mind and clears your vision like you never experienced before.

Just imagine the highest percentage of the people in the world–great artists, fabulous businessmen, intelligent scientists, honest and loving philosophers, etc.–who have the best personalities and disposition to advance humankind; however, just a few, or maybe none, have truly awakened to the illusion of the world of form and the constructs of the ego. They do not have access to 100% of life’s freedom and love, even with all their talents and gifts; because the Universe, God, does not find them ready to be truly shaken, awaken.

But you, that perhaps do not consider yourself to have their genius or talents, might be truly awakened and elevated enough to see through the veil of the world imposed by your own ego.  This is the greatest gift life can offer!


Carry this gift with pride.  You might just stop all your suffering, accumulate extremely good karma, and embrace complete bliss if you do.

Renaissance.

“No longer is there a quest for the truth so much as there is this apparent need to present both sides of an issue even if one is nothing but lies and distortions.”  ~ Joe Wilson; U.S. Congressman.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”  ~ Carl Jung; Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology.

 

Human beings are sleepwalkers, and is fair to say that we all walk in a dream; but is also fair to say that a few of us are waking up and realizing what lies beyond this wonderful dream.  Now, this enlightening process of waking up is a privilege unto itself because, even though we must remain living this great dream, the human mind reaches true freedom and liberation from the holds of the dream, from the chains of the asleep society who only experience the dream and nothing else.

 

Distortions are what confuse

 

The capacity for spiritual human expression to bring into life great innovation is superb, absolutely marvelous, and so we know this by the great advancements in technology and science, and by the development of our great human societies of the world.

This is encouraging for us to embrace our greatness as human beings and keep on working to reach our goals, it does not matter where you were born and the kind of condition on which you live right now, time and patience, perseverance and focus on your goals is all you need to succeed in life.

 

But society, as good and developed as it is, can be deceiving and enslaving if your mind is corrupted by the dream and your ego so massive that it clouds your vision of the reality beyond the same dream; and that is why you must empty your mind from all enslaving beliefs and vain ideas which come with following the asleep masses, even though sometimes people claim to be awake they are just fooling themselves.  Be wary of this.

Reclaim your powerful Third Eye vision (mental awakened vision) and experience real joy, real and constant happiness for yourself and others.

 

Open Your Third Eye

Cosmic mind.

“You should not be carried away by the dictation of the mind, but the mind should be carried by your dictation.”  ~ A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami; spiritual teacher and founder.

“If you want to find God, hang out in the space between your thoughts.”  ~ Alan Cohen; motivational speaker, businessman, inspirational writer, journalist, spiritual educator, radio program host.

 

The space between the thoughts you have is the real you, because that space is the vast sea or the ether of the mind, and the thoughts popping up are the fish or bubbles in the sea.  The space between thoughts is what serious meditation is all about, because that space hides the free-flowing energy of the universe, of consciousness, where there is no passion or desire, where there is no fear or anxiety, where all is just what is and where the present is found.

21742952_363957060704329_5914962715466489298_n

Meditators know that the space between thoughts is divine and powerful, is what frees them from all the bondage and mediocrity of human society and all mechanical thinking of the daily life.  These spaces are where all the vital energy of the human being feeding your body cells and all your thoughts is located, and this is the free flow of Infinite Intelligence directly.


Human expression is fueled by these sea waters holding emerging thoughts, and so, whomever gets in direct communion with these sea waters or conscious ether between thoughts, experiences a rebirth which allows him or her to elevate his mind beyond the material and the ordinary.

This is understood only by experience and not merely by reading it.

“You have to find out what meditation is.  It is a most extraordinary thing to know what meditation is–not how to meditate, not the system, not the practice, but the content of meditation.  To be in the meditative mood and to go into that meditation requires a very generous mind, a mind that has no border, a mind that is not caught in the process of time.  A mind that has not committed itself to anything, to any activity, to any thought, to any dogma, to any family, to any name–it is only such a mind that can be generous; and it is only such a mind that can begin to understand the depth, the beauty and the extraordinary loveliness of meditation.”  ~ Jiddu Khrisnamurti.

Meditation is the flowering of the human spirit through inner attention on what is, it is nature at its purest, it is the place where man, or the form of man, does not exist because consciousness is free from thoughts and all ignorance. 

Meditation gives the serious meditator strong self-discipline which works in all aspects of his life.  Meditation boosts emotional and intellectual intelligence to understand the depth of life.  Meditation gives one the confidence and strength to be unique and a light unto oneself and unto others.

Business mind. Poetry and prose from the heart. The free mind of a human god!

The power of a thousand suns!

“The word enlightenment conjures up the idea of some superhuman accomplishment, and the ego likes to keep it that way, but it is simply your natural state of felt oneness with Being.”  ~ Eckhart Tolle.

“When you accept what is, every moment is the best moment.  That is enlightenment.”  ~ Eckhart Tolle; Spiritual teacher and author.

Desire is the one which drives humankind, the one which points our routes in this physical life–i.e., you desire to eat, you desire to find companionship and and get into a relationship, you desire to better your education to get a better job, you desire to be the best you can be so to achieve greater things in life, and so on and so forth.  And, of course, there is the real us, the subconscious, which takes care of breathing, heartbeats, blood circulation, immune system, etc. etc.; and so our subconscious does not do things based on our conscious desire of daily living, its energies are the essence of our life and what keeps our motors running.

But desire, good or bad, or the process of desire, lives in the conscious mind, it is our ego; however, because it is our ego is tied to birth and death, it is mortal and flawed, it is a superficial entity we use every day to function as human beings.  But there are energies driving the forces of desire, and these come from the subconscious mind that I mentioned above.  These energies from the subconscious are “enlightening”, or what most of us call “Enlightenment”, energies, and these divine energies are shaped soon into our ego, by our conscious (because through the subconscious they penetrate and give life to the desire that drives us every single day, they feed the conscious mind to our advantage and human survival). 

True spiritual awakening, the intelligent power fueling all of our being, is then embracing fully these divine energies flowing through the subconscious; therefore, true spiritual awakening is embracing who you really are beyond the ego and the desires you have (which can be good or bad).  Knowledge and all information is good for the mind, but it will only enter your mind and boost your ego.  This knowledge could help you in your life’s path, perhaps help you remember who you are deep inside; however, it will not give you a deep and shocking realization of who you are in the Absolute Essence (which is, in fact, your Absolute Essence, your Vital Life Force, what is called an Awakening).

 

th

Awakening

When someone becomes truly awakened, your whole belief system shakes and your views on life are altered, you start shedding intellectual and emotional layers of your persona because you start seeing your ego for what it is, and once you truly see or realize your ego and its reactions then you become bigger and stronger and more able to tame it or control it.  

This spiritual process we call “Enlightenment” or “Awakening” comes when the universe or God (the vital life forces in you/the wisdom deep in you/the subconscious or Infinite Intelligence in you) “find you” ready; therefore, this process of awakening does not come with your mere desire (which, as I mentioned above, all desire lives in the ego).  And this process is also called Entering The Light…

“Entering The Light.”

Of many a dreamland and conscious travels,
Only the purest inner contemplation unravels
The dimensions and elevations of mental planes,
The absolute freedom and love the mind gains.

I was obscured by stress and a dark life,
I was put down and belittled by ill strife;
Living every day had become boring and dull,
And my ‘good friends’ were trying to make me fall,
My family was distant and my suffering was great,
Hate and loneliness I thought it was my fate.

One day I found the passage beyond pride
For rich silence and self-acceptance I tried.
It turned out that within me was all along,
The dreamland, the conscious travels, the song;
The absolute freedom and the love was in sight,
I became the Alchemist by Entering The Light.

~ Asa Rodriguez.
