Hold your power.

7fa81aeecda6316210e4c8ace19112ce

In life you get what you are, not what you wish, not what you think you deserve.  And you are your experience.  Are you happy…??  Sad??  Frustrated??  annoyed??  Envious??  This is where your attention goes.  Your attention will give you your experience.  I cannot feel frustrated in life if my attention is on moving forward, on reaching everyday goals, on developing myself.

You are your attention.  And where you direct this attention is where you live.  It is your very source for frustration or inspiration.  We have a choice before us each moment we breathe.  The choice will dictate how we feel and where our priorities lie.  This is where your attention goes,  where your power goes.  So hold hour power.


I write about issues we all live.  Life can be difficult if we don’t have the right inspiration.  Please follow me if you seek this inspiration.  And check out my books below.  Thanks.

Review: “I really loved the depth of your approach, specially because sometimes I struggle with low self-esteem and that gets into my relationship with my new wife.  Thanks for helping us become aware of all these things.  Much love to you and yours.”

Review: “It allowed me to see another explanation of love..with a touch of humor i was able to find a sensible place to kick back to enjoy knowing I have always been Loved!!  YOUR advice is like finding a treasure. Thank you so much sharing!”

Experiences.

 

4Xjk3124

 

Its is a good reminder that each person lives in his own world.  Nobody, absolutely nobody, is the same.  Not even your sister, mother, friend, lover, husband.  You need to realize that people go through the roller coaster of emotions like you do.

Some are more conscious and awakened than others.  Some are more simple-minded and stubborn.  Different levels of awareness, consciousness.  So, in order to get along with everybody you meet and not lose yourself, you must stay with yourself.

Realize that your experience is not the same as another, even if you live in the same household. An experience is about your thoughts and feelings, not your environment; so we all have different experiences.

And childhoods are relevant in this as well.  Our past made the way we are.  Accept people for who they choose to be, and if you must then move on; but stay with yourself, do not get absorbed by another person’s drama.

Who you are.

There is nothing but your mind.  You may see the world, feel it, experience it; but you are in your mind seeing it, and everything else you see is in it too.  If it weren’t for your mind, what could you experience, what could you feel…??

The human being you are lives in your mind.  What is in your mind is who that human beings is.  If your mind carries drama and negativity, that is who you are.  If your mind carries inspiration and positivity, that is who you are.

You are different each moment–positive one moment, not too positive the next.  Do you want to see opportunity, feel joy, experience happiness…??  Then make sure, even though you change from one moment to the next, that you are developing and keeping positivity traits and attitudes.

For your moral development.

 

intelligence-not-because-you-think-you-know-everything-without-questioning-but-rather-because-you-question-everything-you-think-you-know-quote-1

 

What is being intelligent…?? What is intelligence?? Is the person who reads a bunch of scientific, spiritual, philosophical books, and then talks about them, truly intelligent??

And what about the physically and psychologically old person who has lived many, many, many years on this earth…?? Is that person intelligent just because of the many experiences lived through time??

All these people I have mentioned have a great amount of acquired knowledge, memory of experiences, an accumulation of information of the past; so, in their vanity and unconscious thinking they follow what society says and believe they are intelligent.  But, are they??

Because intelligence in reality is not a product of knowledge, like happiness and love are not products of this accumulation of information either.

If intelligence were a product of knowledge, of experience, of accumulation of information, then the world would be a paradise and everybody would behave morally and be Enlightened.  Can you understand this??  Take a moment if you have to ponder.

So, the worst thing for your development as a moral human being is to believe that you are intelligent because you have knowledge and experience, because this irrational belief makes you egoistical, prideful, and it stops you from realizing your own weaknesses, your own faults, your own unhealthy patterns.

The Sprouting Seed.

Some of us experience, at some point in our lives, a strong “calling or deep desire” to fulfill ourselves beyond the mere urges or wants of the physical kind; and in a way we may wonder at our own feelings trapped behind nagging spiritual or divine questions and dilemmas, or perhaps we become just tired in our own lives’ monotony.  A spiritual inquietude, or spiritual restlessness, is an “itch” or a longing, a stimulus within our pure consciousness, something that is deep within our psyche that longs “to know” (gnosis).

This longing to discover and KNOW, if it is indeed a true desire or longing, is driven by a spiritual force in us which seeks freedom; that is, it seeks a freedom that your terrestrial life or lifestyle cannot give it.  Ever felt this…??   Are you going through this right now…??

Our soul is a seed merely, and throughout our lives our soul tries to get out from the oppression of our immorality or morality lack–which is the selfishness of our choices and passions.  All of us feel this urge to express, to emerge, to become; and this urgency is particularly strong when we are in our adolescence and even earlier youth, which is why young people tend to make so many basic mistakes.

This is the urge of the soul-seed wanting to experience freedom, liberation and expansion through higher moral ways via our human structure; but, sadly, most people, specially most young people, ignore the calling by following mere desires of the ego in search for a fulfillment which never comes–they always want more and more because they deviate from the true path of divine fulfillment.  But this happens at all ages; so be aware of it.

This situation is analogous to what we observe in the life of any plant or tree, which in the course of its existence will release or liberate from itself millions of seeds.  Those seeds will be scattered in its environment in order to propagate the species.  But the vast majority of those seeds, all of which feel that longing to become a great tree, will be lost.

Each of us is a seed:

1) Some fall into barren soil to never grow–i.e., lost by their own desires which never fulfill them they remain always dry and empty souls.

2) Some fall into a soil too moist and muddy–i.e., lost in their millions of opinions, set of rigid beliefs, philosophies of life, and fantastical imaginations; so, they remain always in their own little worlds, with a strong desire and faith but no truth in them.

3) But then there is the sprouting seed that is active and expands itself (divine desire for freedom), it opens and blossoms beautifully because the soil for it (the environment and knowledge sought) is perfect, destined to be–and this soul just grows and grows without end.

Awaken to your own experience…

Is highly important to realize and accept the abysmal differences between religiousness and spirituality, because many people believe in much ignorance that by reading scriptures, by praying at their churches, by repeating their mantras, by following a bishop and being obedient of what he teaches, they are truly spiritual, awakened, and in the path of truth.  Isn’t the ego powerful in these people…??  This I know, as all I write here, from my own experience, because I was religious, now I am spiritual; I was man-made and my mind was full of the idiocies of man, now I emptied my mind and communicate with that Source of Divinity in me which does not belong to any man.

33426426_464755407291160_8136814369745928192_n

And it is simple, is it not…??  When you read this, or when you read scriptures, or when you go to church, even though you might feel “divine love” or “spirituality” being born in you, this is just your mind creating beautiful feelings; this is not a spiritual awakening but just the desire in you to be spiritually awakened.  This means you are reading or listening to the experience or to the beliefs of others.  Now, this, as beautiful and divine might sound to you, as loving the belief in Jesus or Buddha or some saint, comes from outside of you.  Nothing coming from the outside is your reality; it might resonate with you, it might be romantic or spiritual, but that is as far as it goes–just more knowledge stored in your mind and conditioned by your mechanical brain.

Now, can you see for yourself what truth, what spirituality really is…??  It has to wake you up, not wake you up intellectually, because intellect is the ego-mind, and intellect is mere knowledge; but wake you up as in coming from beyond your intellect and the feelings it creates, it has to be you, a deeper realization–which is what awakening is, which is a wholeness in you that changes not only your mind but all your intentions and daily behaviors, and which is your own experience.  To be spiritual means to stand up on your own and not follow the crowd, it is to empty your mind from all man-made mentality and to rebel against it–so you can find yourself within yourself, and you can awaken to your own experience.

Are you still seeking…??

Thoughts are obsessive seekers, as in to become something, to find answers to something, to be guided by something, to attain something, are they not…??  And what are then human beings if not seekers, always searching and desiring to be taken somewhere by the hand…??  But true love and happiness reside beyond seeking, beyond the never-ending struggle for more.  Have you realized that within you yet…??

55df4734a85fe7be3bc1b5f928384e65--random-quotes-positive-thoughts
That is the whole problem, as people spend their lives thinking for too long and asking others, always seeking for the thrill of the answer from others, never actually bringing change to their lives, missing the proactive way of living.


When most people think about meditation, thoughts come up, questions fog the answers, thus they seek without actually seeing the truth of it.  They desire to know how.  Techniques.  What happens in meditation.  What does meditation bring.  How can they start.  And they get answers from somebody else, they never meditate on them, and then they continue seeking and asking the same questions over and over again.  And this does not bring any change into their lives, but it only fuels more questioning, more empty seeking, and more frustration because they are not developing the way they must.

It is Being, meditation is.  Right now your intellect agrees with me; meditation is Being.  But you really don’t know what Being really is, do you…??  You need to have the actual experience to realize in your heart what it means, and you haven’t meditated.  Or have you seriously, deeply meditated…?? …

The witness knows all.  Fish, sharks, whales, they all swim and roam the waters of the big ocean; so, they know only what they see and experience as they are swimming by, going from here to there.  But the ocean waters stay always there, they witness the moon, the sun, the storm, the rain, the cold, the heat, and all beings swimming in them.  They never change.  The ocean waters are the ultimate witness.

Your thoughts are the beings swimming, and you are what holds them, what witness them.  You are indeed the unchanging witness.  And to know the silent and wise, Enlightened and divine, witness that you are, you must go beyond the beings swimming, you must be one with meditation.  The witness has no questions, knows no effort, brings no fear and anxiety.  The witness is life itself without the fogginess and chaos created by your humanity…\

Now, would you experience it yourself…??

Cosmic experience.

“You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe, an intrinsic part of it.  Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself.  What an amazing miracle.”   ~ Eckhart Tolle; public speaker, spiritual teacher, and author.


 

The Universe, God, Creation, sees and experiences physical life through your interactions, thoughts, feelings, with yourself and with the world; therefore, you are the miraculous outlet of expression of The Universe to move matter and create experiences which transcend time and space, experiences which can really transform lives–your life and that of others.

consciousness


This is the main purpose, to create experiences which transform our lives into all true success and bliss through mental elevation and deep human connection.

And The Universe, God, our human spirit cannot be absolutely free and experience bliss if our bodies and minds are not in healthy order; that is to say, if we ignore our body and mind then we are committing sin unto ourselves, our true selves, because bliss or constant happiness is only reached through self-love.

The Universe or God is a vast ocean of unlimited energy and conscious information, but it cannot experience itself without you, without matter, without your biology–which are your human thoughts and your physical interactions with this world of form.  You are the one allowing physical experience to happen, you are the one allowing The Universe or God to experience itself through forms of bliss or misery, through forms of pleasure or pain; therefore, the way you choose to live your life says how this divine entity expresses itself–through your actions and the outcomes of your actions, through what you create in the world, whether happy moments or sad moments.

“To keep the body in good health is a duty; otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.”  ~ Buddha.
“Without health life is not life; it is only a state of languor and suffering–an image of death.”  ~ Buddha.
