A World of Pure Light

“I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the astonishing light of your own being.” ~ Hafez; Persian poet.


How do you think your muscles are able to move…??  Where do you think your thoughts are coming from…??  How is it that you are able to use imagination every day to envision things in your mind before you do them…??
There must be an extremely powerful source of fuel feeding all these processes of human existence that I’ve just mentioned. How about the scientific fact that each atom in your body is almost empty…?? And the fact that you dream at night and the world of form ends for several hours for you…?? Your heartbeat, your breathing, your immune system, and the rest–they work without your thought or input– How…??

Everything in your body is the most wonderful art form, the most perfect and harmonious clock; and, even though people take it for granted by smoking, filling all their organs with sugars and fats, doing drugs, altering their appearances by surgical means, etc. etc., this magical process does always what is needed and the best to purify itself.

All the powerful and eternal energy behind this magnificent machine is not a coincidence, nothing is a coincidence; this energy is you, the real you, and the magnificent human machine which allows you to explore and experience this world of form is your physical shell and the one which you should take care while you have it.


Think about this while you live your life and use your body to experience all in your common day.

Stories to ponder.

The timeless…

“Spirituality is not adopting more beliefs and assumptions but uncovering the best in you.” ~ Dr. Amit Ray; Indian author, philosopher, and spiritual master.


“YOU are your own guru. YOU are your own soul mate. YOU are powerful. Take the reigns and drive your carriage home to love.” ~ Amy Leigh Mercree; American author, spiritual guide, media personality, relationship counselor, and wellness coach.


Mental elevation means a mind free from all beliefs, collective ideas, prejudice, passionate ambitions, stubborn states; and from this, Illumination is born, from this emptiness the old is destroyed to build the new, mental mediocrity is now higher awareness into reality.

Reality is believed by the world to be what you can experience with the physical senses, by thinking and interacting with the same world; however, everything you see and experience with these physical senses springs or emerges from some conscious substance which is not experienced by the same physical senses, and this substance is prime, this substance is the reality which creates the illusion your human senses call reality.

What you see is not what is.  Love is not merely an attractive person with whom you can have a romance.  Peace is not merely the end of noise in your room. Wisdom is not merely something you achieve by reading lots of books and by living years and years on this earth. The air you breathe is not just oxygen like science says.


Understanding all these things and beyond helps you remember what is the prime of life.  Understanding all this is elevating yourself to a pure state of constant bliss which has no reason for being, where you wake up every single morning and you feel truly joyous about being alive and about being able to deal with your own ego while knowing that you are above it.

This is the Light Of The World, what The Bible calls The Second Coming of The Christ (and that mostly no one really understands), Christ Consciousness, Enlightenment.  \

Because this higher understanding is based upon your mind aligning with your heart, there is no more confusion or fear which can cripple you; then, you maximize self-love and you become a light unto the world, a light unto others.

The free mind of a human god!

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.

Portal to Elevation.

“Truth is, I’ll never know all there is to know about you, just as you will never know all there is to know about me.  Humans are by nature too complicated to be understood fully.  So, we can choose either to approach our fellow human beings with suspicion or to approach them with an open mind, a dash of optimism and a great deal of candor.”  ~ Tom Hanks.


 

Keys to an Open Mind.

To have an open mind means that you accept that you do not know everything, and to accept that is indeed the beginning of wisdom.  And people come from different backgrounds and experiences, so to be close-minded to what they have to say or to believe that they cannot teach you anything is rather foolish, selfish and ignorant indeed.

The fact is that one cannot truly awaken if one has not an open mind, because the process of having an open mind allows Infinite Intelligence to flow freely through our minds to elevate the same; however, the ego makes people believe that just by knowledge the mind elevates, but this is one of the major illusions.  And the example is that there are people out there who are true encyclopedias and have large amounts of data stored in their brains, but their minds are not elevated one bit.  Wisdom does not reach their minds for this matter; their minds are full of beliefs, ideas, and thoughts from another.

I agree it is not easy to have an open mind, specially with so many nice but egotistical people around us; but in order for us to connect to self-love and reach that condition of bliss which elevates the mind, there must exist the deeper understanding of an open mind which steps aside all selfishness and ignorance for the sake of love expansion and true mental elevation.

The purest light.

“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.

“You cannot meditate if you are ambitious–you may play with the idea of meditation.  You your mind is authority-ridden, bound by tradition, accepting, following, you will never know what it is to meditate on this extraordinary beauty if you’re ambitious.”  ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti; Indian philosopher, public speaker, educator, and writer.


 

Meditation

 

Meditation

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.

Humankind lives on the edge, on the edge of stressful and violent thoughts all day–anger, confusion opinion, gossip, embarrassment, shame, and all fears–which control people’s whole existence and interaction with the world around them.  There is no wisdom in the things they do, thus there is not any deep understanding and not any insight. 

 

The only condition in man which brings light to the chaos may be found inwardly and not outwardly, because outwardly there is nothing but the illusion of your beliefs, of your rebellions, of your violence, of your anger, of your stress, and so on and so forth.

The spirit of the human being then is trapped in this thought-form which controls man, and in order to be freed there must be communion with it–i.e., man must get in direct touch or communication with his own spirit through the sacred silence of his mind, through inner contemplation of what is.


And what is, that substance of pure consciousness which is all wisdom and love, transforms human thought once meditation is adopted, it transforms the whole being–via confidence, strength, wisdom, self-discipline, and via the elevation of the mind in all aspects.

Ambition then is the one opposite of all meditation, all desire for material gain which becomes an obsession when man’s life is seeing through the eyes of ambition; because ambition robs the mind of freedom to express its godly nature, and it fills the mind with desire for outward things, events, and people.


Practice inner contemplation without any ambition whatsoever and you shall see your light emerging and taking over your whole being, thus you shall attract opportunities for growth in all aspects of your life, as spiritual, mental and financial, people will see you shine and will be attracted to your light.

The indestructible.

“Self-respect is the fruit of discipline; the sense of dignity grows with the ability to say no to oneself.”  ~ Abraham Joshua Heschel; Polish-American rabbi and philosopher.


 

Plainly put, self-discipline is the ability to make yourself do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.  And as Lao Tzu wisely said, “Conquering others is mere strength, conquering yourself is true power.”

d10672083d024bfd5562e8b2793ef52b--self-control-quotes-successful-quotes
Most people do not have guidance in life, they lack structure and they are always set adrift in expectation for the next moment, and this happens because they are like ships without a sure route, without a destination mapped, they bounce here and there and when things go wrong they complain and feel like victims.

There is nothing more reassuring and excitingly peaceful, where your mind is set on a definite course and does not deviate, like self-discipline because it is exactly self-respect, it is loving yourself so much that you only do the things which are best for your life, the things that keep you in harmonious track–i.e., eating healthy and the right amount, getting right sleep, working when you have to work and enjoying yourself when you have time for yourself, thinking the right thoughts and sharing in good conversation which elevates, etc. etc.

That is called conquering yourself, ruling yourself, which makes you truly a master of yourself and of your destiny. 

Self-discipline gives you strength and confidence, and it helps you appreciate yourself enough that you want to better yourself every single day, while becoming more aware of the things you must do in order to be successful in life.

Nothing outside…

“There is no power outside of man.  Man has created God out of fear.  So, the problem is fear, not God or the Devil.” ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti.

“In obedience to any religion, there is always fear; and fear darkens the mind.” ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti; author, philosopher, spiritual educator, public speaker.


To know God

From the beginning man’s mind has been corrupted by fear of the unknown–i.e., fear of death (fear of losing people and things to which they are attached), fear of their own dark sides, and so on and so forth.  Fear brings ego-filled ideas and delusions, so they have created religion as a way to deal with fear; however, religion has its own agendas–i.e., power over man, build expensive institutions, amassing riches and power over the mind of the weak, etc. etc.

To really know God is to go beyond things or institutions created by man. 

iam-cosmic-god

How can God be reduced to the thought and the ego of some pompous individual with a goal to rule over the minds of other men…??
Ponder this for a second, put aside your own ego and all beliefs you’ve been forced, and you will see the clear light come to your conscience.

God is found inside you by inner contemplation, by meditation; by watching your thoughts and emotions rise and fall, and by knowing you are the watcher.
Within each cell of your body, there is energy which structures the same body, which makes this physical body move.  Within each atom of a rock, there is energy at a lower vibration than the energy inside your very cells.  This energy fills the whole universe and universes, because this energy is the universe and universes.

Meditate on this faithfully, and do not follow the ignorant speech of other men, whoever they are and whichever titles they hold, but follow your own reason, your own wisdom.

(Some people asked me to explain #5 in the photo below. “To Know God Is To Understand That Fear and Love are The same.”  This is the quick explanation:  Love and fear are the same energy but just different degrees, just like fire and ice, they both burn, they are the same, just the vibration of fire is faster than that of ice…. When you feel fear but you develop strength from within and overcome that fear, your body and mind get used to it, there is no fear anymore; fear has turned to love–i.e., you were experiencing love as fear before because your ego was taking over, but once you overcame your obstacle you began to see fear as strong love, so for your mind fear has disappeared now and you only feel love).

Self-help life truths. The free mind of a human god!

The Entity Under Shadows.

“I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.”  ~ Og Mandino; American author and businessman.


The Entity of Darkness is not your Enemy.

This is how life gets to be rich and valuable to us:  OppositesHow can you elevate your mind if there are no challenges for you to endure and overcome…??  How can you learn to embrace the wisdom within you if you do not have the ego covering it…??  How can you work harder in your life if you never knew struggle in your life…??

Darkness, Demons, The Devil, Evil, etc.–these are all human concepts describing one unity; like love, peace, harmony, freedom, happiness, etc., is all one unity as well.  We must not get lost in the myriad of human concepts, in order to see and understand what makes us human and capable of becoming better, capable of overcoming great obstacles and adopting a confident and brave character in the face of fear in our unique lives.

Thoughts are powerful energy, light and dark ones, positive and negative ones, the ones of love and the ones of pure ego.  They are all needed to be us and to progress, because human evolution is different for each of us.  And they are what we have as tools every single day, except most people do not see them as mere tools, but they see them as themselves.


This is why most people live in fear and mental and emotional misery and anger, because they think they are these dark thoughts popping up in their consciousness, so they become angry for no logical reason, they protest and become violent towards others, they follow their thoughts and neglect their families and even themselves over their ambitions, they commit all sorts of crimes, they get surgeries and alterations done to their own bodies, etc. etc.
However, even though these dark thoughts are part of our humanity, they are mere mental objects the real you can watch appearing in your awareness.   So, if you indeed watch these dark thoughts popping up or appearing in your consciousness, then you yourself become the watcher, thus the Master.

Once you become the Master, life does not challenge you anymore because it respects your mastery.  Life is ongoing progress, so you still are tested to elevate yourself, but the tests life give you do not deter you because you have now become the Master.

Darkness is not your enemy

Poetry and prose from the heart.

The richest man alive!

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.”  ~ Albert Einstein; physicist and author.

“Just living is not enough… one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.”  ~ Hans Christian Andersen;  Danish prolific author, novelist and poet.

 

The spirit or energy body of the human being, the spirit or energy behind all we do, behind our daily thinking, feeling, behaving, connecting to others and to the world around us in any situation, needs to disconnect once in a while; however, the spirit, or energy, itself is an entity which never depletes, it never wanes, but since our thinking, feeling, acting is limited and fated to birth and death it is surely depleted and marred by the toxic waste of stress and anxiety, and so it needs to distance itself from the pressures of daily life.  The spirit body needs to distance itself from all this and get in touch and surround itself with itself–that is to say, surround itself with peace and harmony, with Nature.

Peace and harmony is the deeper meaning/the essence of love itself, even though we human beings have made love to be about holding hands, sex expression, marriage, conversations, and the rest.  This peace and harmony creates many miracles or powerful transformations within us, transformations in our mental perceptions, physiology, DNA structure, emotional content, etc. etc.  This peace and harmony is a special peace and harmony which is only found by walking or staring at the wonders and beauty of God’s Nature, because God’s Nature emanates an essence of vitality and motivation into us.

Scientifically put, God’s Nature spreads energy into our tissues, into our being, and its subconscious links to our subconscious because it is all the same mental energy or Universal Mind, just kept in different form (one being our human form, and the other that of trees, grass, fresh air, and so forth).  Also, Nature’s magnetism forces (that of what we call “love”) synchronizes or tunes in with our vital organs (heart, lungs, kidney, etc.), and that is why scientists say that walking through nature boosts your immune system, gives you creative ideas, and adds overall life to your whole body and mind… 

_God's Nature is Love on Fire, Eternal Flame. You just can't see that flame with your physical eyes. But you can feel the flame, if you allow yourself to bask in the present moment, thro

 

There is a realm beyond what we see and feel in our everyday lives, the realm of energy or spirit; and it is a realm that lives here, in us and all around us, but it is at the same time found ONLY beyond the nuisance of conscious past and future thoughts and the emotional content we carry which can at times direct our attention to things that stress us.  Walking in nature and even closing my eyes, while avoiding thought and the emotions thought carries, a deeper meditation, connects me to what we call God and the beauty that is beyond man-maned beauty–i.e., man-made beauty which depicts in fine paintings, inspirational movies, great poetry, beautiful cars, etc. 

The smells, the sights, the sounds, the emotions of Nature Itself transport me to myself and remind me of the connection we share.  The Oneness we all are.  Creation is vast, unlimited, eternal beyond form and quality; and this connection is what the spirit or energy body craves or needs in order to dwell with itself, with the true essence of love.  This makes me the richest man alive!

The richest man alive is the one who embraces the traits of Nature and the one who allows himself to be one with Nature. This is indeed the very heart of the ultimate power; therefore, the mighty power to achieve and create anything you desire in your own life.
