Deeper roots…

From The One Source all beings, all nature was created; and this is why we are all related to each other, and this is why The One Source became many and relationships were born.

Humankind’s true heart is relationship then, a deeper connection than what we see, because we are all connected by an invisible thread we may call love; however, this love, the very essence of it, has nothing to do with superficial concepts humans have designed. No, this love is the deepest connection, which goes beyond sex, beyond dating, beyond a marriage, beyond any friendship.

For most of humanity, sadly, relationship is a give and take relation based on dependency, attachment, sometimes obsession and even harmful addiction. And many rush into these relationships because the man or woman looks physically attractive, or because there is great intellect, or a good economic stand, or good conversation; however, these traits, as alluring as they might be for you, are attached to time and space, which means flesh decay, the emotional roller coaster, and the various moods tied to different outer situations in life.

So, is this the essence of love or just something more superficial…??

Human love is a give and take–i.e., I love you if you care and love me back, I want a relationship if you look attractive enough and if you are intelligent enough, I will be with you if you are always nice to me and make me feel good, etc. Humans have created concepts like friendship love, romantic love, sexual love, and the rest. This human love has or comes with judging, jealousy, hatred, etc. This human love, even though people call it love, is really attachment–i.e., a superficial form of “love” the ego creates out of fear of being alone, fear of not being like the rest, fear of not keeping tradition, etc. etc.

But the essence of divine love is pure, does not ask for anything, it is a deeper connection–I love because I love, in the process of loving I find happiness, and I do not depend on anything or anybody to feel loved and happy.‘ This love essence is pure, ABSOLUTE freedom, not ties to moods, characters, ways of the flesh, emotional roller coasters, aging, economical issues, papers of marriage, and the rest of the petty human condition in relationships.

Without judging, I really think one must inquire into this because, even though we are all human beings and forming these relationships, if we are to really love ourselves and another, love all beings and the whole Earth, then a deeper realization should be awakened in us. In order to form really deep connections one must look beyond matter, beyond these petty and superficial facades, and embrace the truth of it all, the truth of our Great One Source.

“For most of us, relationship with another is based on dependence, either economic or psychological. This dependence creates fear, breeds in us possessiveness, results in friction, suspicion, frustration.” ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti.

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

Travelers of The Known.

All things are ephemeral, limited, doomed to suffer decay through time, artificial, and beneath that which fuels all you see and is reality; therefore, a piece of land, people, daily situations, great achievements, all relationships you form, they are all tied to thoughts and feelings of change, time moves forward and it does not stop, all life has an end and it is mechanical.

The human being is indeed a traveler, substance of thought and flesh under the rule of constant change, constant evolution; and so, it is not these temporal things tied to change which must rule your life, even though they occupy certain importance in the healthy development, but it is what fuels these the one ethereal substance to discover beyond the everyday facade.

Where do you discover happiness really…?? Is it in a piece of land, in the job you have, in the relationship you have, in the success in society you gain, in the pride of seeing your son or daughter getting a family of his or her own…?? And do you really own these things and people…?? Are you the owner really….?? … And what happens if you lose your land, your job, your relationship, your success in society, and if your daughter or son dies…?? Does that mean happiness dies for you, too….?? …

Know that happiness does not mean the pleasure of having all these wonderful things; but happiness is not a product of these things or any thing…

And that is precisely the problem with humanity, their thinking is too superficial, mediocre, mechanical, conditioned; for they believe only in what they see, and so love and happiness is in what they find in relationships, people, events, successes in the world of form, etc. Love and happiness is a gamble for them, such gamble which carries suffering, confusion, enslavement which is the great loss of all mental and emotional freedom.

But one who is awake or wants a realization of a deeper nature, should question what happiness really is, and what is it you own in this life…

The wise man questions.

“The sanity of society is a balance of a thousand insanities.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson; American essayist, philosopher, society critic, lecturer, and poet.

There is no bigger fool than the fool who does not want to see, than the fool who follows the carrot society dangles in his face.

Without questioning, without self-exploration, without a fresh perspective one cannot see reality; hence, one’s mind remains stubborn and chained to a blinding society who does not care about the freedom or happiness of the individual, but a society that only cares about the established patterns, old traditions, ways of living which sell and increase its own power.

27336693_416552678778100_2148278266007500321_n

The said human being then, chained and subconsciously subdued, quite often dull and depressed, with certain bouts of an anxious and overtaxed mind, begins to accept the crooked “reality” this idiotic and enslaving society has cast upon him, just like a very strong spell he lives every day as he wakes up.

And so, he is now dismal and his narrow mind is the world this society has created for him, where he sees only the work he hates, where he sees no deeper understanding, where he knows only struggle, pain and pleasure, but no happiness beyond that.

To awaken from all this is to question all this, every little detail; thus, question even what you know right now to be true, question more and more, never stop.

The wise man knows that he knows nothing, because the wise man knows that he will always be questioning and exploring as long as a breath remains in his body.

Be the wise man, not the fool, the slave, the ignorant servant who follows the carrot dangled in his face….

Signs of opportunity.

Nothing truly noble and of great value in life can be achieved if there is no persistence, and persistence can never really be without patience.

When things, relationships, events, jobs, come to you easily and without much effort and analysis from your part, then be cautious and see your situation in detail because that is either not going to last or is not going to help you to truly experience happiness, perhaps it will bring you more headaches than actual joyful moments.

But if you are having tough times achieving your dreams or goals, if you are going through problems in your relationship, if you are having hard economical times, then you must understand this; for these are signs that life is giving you the opportunity to discover your weakness and exercise your strengths, and this is the moment for you to be committed and persistent, be patient and trust yourself.

It is easy and rather pointless to be persistent in happy times, because these times need no persistence, because these times are not teaching you anything. You become stronger as life gives you opportunities to make yourself stronger through tough times. What is more important to you?–to live and enjoy pleasures that come and go?–or to be committed and persistent so you can enjoy happiness that stays with you as you go on living daily…??

Remind yourself that in loyalty to your dreams and goals, and in the persistence to achieve them, there is constant bliss you can experience.

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” ~ Calvin Coolidge; lawyer, governor, and 30th President of the United States (1923–1929).

The man of no lack.

“Happiness is being content with what you have, living in freedom and liberty, having a good family life and good friends.” ~ Divyanka Tripathi; Indian actress.

The obsession for seeking is the subconscious sickness that holds mankind captive, the constant desire for more things and better conditions of living, the inexhaustible toil for more relationships and more intimate experiences; and this is precisely what expresses the emptiness people feels, the depth of their ignorance while leaning on the illusions/the lies they tell to themselves daily–i.e., “I need to be finally happy and loved and so find love in another,” “I don’t eat healthy but I complain about my health and I envy others who are healthier than me,” “I deserve a better job even though I do nothing to better myself and my opportunities,” etc.

The whole issue here is not wanting more but the obsession of wanting more, such an obsession which is born out of a very ignorant ego which does not live in the present, but it lives comparing with others, it lives dreaming in a future without actually doing anything to create better actions in the present.

All this leads to lack of acceptance of what is, as people do not enjoy the present and what they have but always want more and more, and even envy others and compare themselves to them; and subconsciously this creates their own personas, where they cannot stand to be with themselves and less to find true happiness in the moment and in the things and living conditions they have.

But he who awakens and lives in the actual moment can find daily joy to better his own experience, because the mind is the one wanting always more and obsessing, because the mind lives in the past and the future; so, when you live in the present and accept the present, and things as they are in the present, then you step away from your mind, from your ego, and live and experience from and in your heart.

“He is richest who is content with the least, for content is the wealth of nature.” ~ Socrates.

Just a reflection…

“What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others.” ~ Confucius.

Sunlight fell upon the wall; the wall received a borrowed splendor. Why set your heart on a piece of earth, O simple one? Seek out the source which shines forever.” ~ Rumi.

The world is a reflection of oneself, and that is the reason why people find misery or joy in life; and that is also why people create God and angels and Heaven and Hell–all these have the qualities, thoughts and feelings of expression of a human being.

This reflection is actually believed by the asleep masses to be real, but being just a reflection it carries the crooked and ignorant beliefs and life views of people; therefore, when the mind in question is filled with Bible or fantastical religious stories, when filled with egoistical views of saviors and helpers coming to rescue you, when you depend on mere reflections out in the world of form to feel happiness and love within you, then, it is not real, it is just your ego designing the illusion, it is not love or happiness but attachment and pleasure.

The seeking is pointless, it is like you searching the lit dot, the reflection of a beam of light from a flashlight on the white wall; thus, it is not the real thing, but everything, each little thing you seek is within you. Out there there is only reflections of what your own mind carries, and these reflections look as real and heartfelt as the real thing, indeed because everything is your mind; so, everything you seek, everything you experience daily, everything you are day to day, everything you believe and see in the world is your mind and the polluted or healthy state of your mind. You literally, and even scientifically, create and carry the world, Heaven and Hell, in your mind; so, when you seek the reflection of something in the world, your ego is deceiving you into believing that the reflection is real.

But to find what you seek, you must go to the source; and the source of the world and all that is in it, of the universe and its mysteries, is in you. By knowing the source of the reflection, then you know by yourself is just a reflection. By knowing the flashlight, then you know by yourself the lit dot on the wall is just a reflection.

When you know the reflection, you stop seeking.

Out of your head.

“All lives have triumphs and tragedies, laughter and tears, and mine has been no different. What really matters is whether, after all of that, you remain strong and a comfort to your loved ones. I have tried to meet that test.” ~ Pat Nixon; First Lady of the United States from 1969 to 1974.

“It is not living that matters, but living rightly.” ~ Socrates.

People get so caught up in their heads, in their problems, in their ideas not being recognized, in their obsessions, that they forget to live each moment with joy and understanding.

The value we can find in living the moment with integrity and comprehension cannot be compared with anything else; and that is because your life’s wealth is not in what you pursue or even in what you can fix of a certain problem with much work and dedication, but it is in each moment which you live mindfully by knowing that you do your best and that you do it unselfishly.

And being present also means being thankful for what you have and for the people around you; this is the best and the only way you find the true value in life. Because, even though society may bombard us with “buy this, buy that,” “Go to church and praise some bearded lunatic up in the skies,” “Get married and have lots of kids,” “Work hard and make lots of money,” and all this garbage, what truly matters is that you live rightly and to the best of yourself so you can give the best example.

It is extremely important that you can see the truth in this, and that you can be free to stay in the truth and get out of your own head. Leave the stress and the problems and live in the moment, in reality, knowing that the true experience of life’s value is in the Now.

“Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.” ~ Omar Khayyam; Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet.

One with it.

“We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.” ~ Helen Keller; American author, political activist, and lecturer.

“You learn more from losing than winning, more from pain than joy.” You learn how to keep going.” ~ Morgan Wootten; American former high school basketball coach.

It is extremely important to develop ourselves and vital for true happiness in life to self-reflect and know our deepest selves, our darkness as well as our light, our pain as well as our joy.

Sadly, most people today do not understand that in order to know why something happens in life, you must embrace it, become well acquainted with it, study it closely; and, opposite to this, you must never escape and try to ignore it, specially when it comes to emotional and psychological issues.

The human being suffers pain, and, no matter your unique situation in life or who you are, you must learn to adjust to this; because pain is meant for your mind to analyze it and comprehend it in order to not allow it to destroy you and your dreams.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Do not run away from pain through activities, relationships, jobs, religion, travels, and the rest; but stay with pain and learn the lesson in them. Do not avoid pain and what makes you uncomfortable, but realize that it is a blessing in disguise so you can grow.

Personally, I welcome challenges and pain, because If my father and brother hadn’t died, if my mother hadn’t nearly been killed by my once stepfather, if I hadn’t gone through so many challenges in my life, I wouldn’t have awakened to many wonderful things I see so clearly now, and, of course, I wouldn’t be sharing this with you and trying to help you in your own life.

So, you see, life turns to be wonderful and miraculous once you study and analyze those moments that have caused you so much pain and still anguish. I hope you can see this, too.

“Greater Development.”

Young plant growing in sunshine(Shallow Dof)

“Life is a moving, breathing thing. We have to be willing to constantly evolve. Perfection is constant transformation.” ~ Nia Peeples; American R&B and dance music singer and actress.

“The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be.” ~ Oprah Winfrey.

Are you the same person today that you were last month…?? Have you experienced something new and learned from it…?? Have you analyzed your mistakes or difficult situations of the past and learned wisdom to make better choices and build the best life you can…??

Life tries to teach you something so you can evolve and grow as a human being, so stop whining and train your mind to understand life and whatever you go through; because nothing is random, everything has a purpose, and your only task is to calm your mind in the middle of the storm and find a way to grow and progress.

Feeling sorry for yourself and remaining lost and confused will not help you in any way, but it will stop you from growth and fill you with contempt and fear. This is what living life chained to fear itself is, and most people, even though they are good people and they even can be our family and friends, live like this without even realizing it. The asleep state of the world.

It is interesting to me how life is constantly helping us to awaken ourselves to these things, helping us evolve because that is the whole purpose of being here, evolving, elevation; however, man has designed this illusion, this fixation with the negative, for this lower man truly believes that life is out to get him, that life has some demons going around wreaking all sorts of havoc. Of course, these demons are the nonsense of religious thought since the beginning of mental slavery; and these are just ego-centered activity designed out of fear.

But the awakened man, seeing the ignorance ruling the lower mind of the masses, steps out from all this garbage; for he knows that this is the ignorant activity of a mind which is filled by superstition and tradition, so he frees himself, so he looks at life’s challenges and learns wisdom. So you must be awakened as well then, see life with a wise and positive outlook. What is the point of living your life in fear of change thinking that you can’t achieve greater progress…??

Patience and faith, persistence and commitment, are very important for the healthier growth. Don’t just work for what you want but experience the passion in each cell of your body, because this will help you create a greater development of yourself and of your life.

Learn to calm your mind, analyze what happened in your life, and create lessons which can help you evolve and grow stronger; otherwise you will not be able to heal yourself, move on, and create that greater life you want.

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.

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.
