The road.

Anything we do and think and feel, anyone we meet, and any experience in the rich spectrum of our lives has its purpose. Life is a string of moments, and these moments–each one of them–are what give value to our lives; and whatever these moments are considered to be by your individual mind, either good or bad, they still manifest the next moment. So no breakup is truly bad, no death is a fatality, no mistake is the end of anything; all of it is preparing you consciously or subconsciously, with or without your knowledge, for the next phase of your life, and your task is to accept this without complaining and seeking further meaning.

Success is more than what society says it is, more than achieving, more than getting to some higher destination; success is bliss, it is a state of happiness, it is to struggle and experience knowing and accepting that your everyday journey is indeed your success–or that it should be your success as an ongoing activity of your mind, heart, and spirit/of your whole being. So, one must remember to keep on working, studying, learning, feeling deeply, and so accepting what is; for success is your full attention on each moment you live, while your whole being focuses on experiencing and enjoying your journey.

Constant awareness is constant effort in the road which we call success. Success then must be the state of your mind, which is the state of constant awareness

Laugh a little.

For today I thought some funny photos or memes, something to ease the burden we might carry in life. Because, I was thinking, life is better if seen through the eyes of laughter, for life is not a burden or crippling pain, and life is definitely not depressive; however, I know this still happens because the mind makes it appear so. The mind then must be trained to see the positive in situations otherwise overwhelming, and through a smile, a joke, or through some laughter we may raise ourselves above all pointless frustration and all suffering.

So don’t think too much, just enjoy them without judging them. Hope you like these…

Greater sense of origin.

From the earth we came, and to the earth we shall come back. The rocks, the trees, the animals–they all know and see this at a subconscious level. To beings of higher potentials, of higher awareness, of further awakening, this must become our very knowing, and thus from our subconscious enter our conscious; to know that we are the earth, and the sky, and the whole cosmos. The sage finds comfort in this, love and happiness in knowing this; the vaster humility and yet the greatest pride, understanding of nature, of God, of the universe, is in embracing this. When you truly know this in your bones, in your blood, in your mind, then you become illumined and you expand yourself, knowing that you are all of it. And when you are all of it, then there is nothing unknown to you, nothing to worry you or stress you–i.e., no fear at all.

Fear comes to the mind because it projects, it wonders, it is disturbed by things unknown; thus, the mind seeks to know, it seeks control, comfort, answers, and so not finding answers it fears. But if you are all of it, answers and all, then there is no room for fear and life becomes joyful at each turn. Can you not see it…?? The relationship competitions, the money issues, the comparing and envying, the lack of confidence, etc.–it all seems so pitiful and pointless when you become whole and guided by the light in your conscience, when you have woken up and see everything in perspective.

When you know your origins, your true origins, then harmony and understanding come to your mind, to your conscience; and then your whole life shines brighter, and even when you see ugliness and unfairness happening in the world your understanding allows you to remain calm, collected, superior and above all conflict that is both far and near you…. And there is no other manner to embrace this higher knowledge but as individual experience, within you, crossing that border of thoughts and feelings, sensing that greater origin in you…

What matters.

Once upon a time there was a world famous teacher in north-western India. It just so happened that one of the high class students had been named ‘Bad’ by his parents. One day he thought, “When I am told, ‘Come Bad’, ‘Go Bad’, ‘Do this Bad’, it is not nice for me or others. It even sounds disgraceful and unlucky.” So he went to the teacher and asked him to give him a more pleasant name, one that would bring good fortune rather than bad.

The teacher said, “Go my son, go wherever you like and find a more fortunate name. When you return, I will officially give you your new name.” The young man named Bad left the city, and traveled from village to village until he came to a big town. A man had just died and Bad asked what his name was. People said, “His name was Alive.” “Alive also died?” asked Bad. The people answered, “Whether his name be Alive or whether it be Dead, in either case he must die. A name is merely a word used to recognize a person. Only a fool would not know this!” After hearing this, Bad no longer felt badly about his own name, but he didn’t feel good about it either.

After leaving the town, along the roadside he met a man who had lost his way. He asked him, “What is your name? ” He replied, ‘My name is Tourguide.” “You mean to say that even a Tourguide has gotten lost?” asked Bad. Then the man said, “Whether my name be Tourguide or whether it be Tourist, in either case I have lost my way. A name is merely a word used to recognize a person. Only a fool would not know this!” Later, Bad came to a realization…

Now completely satisfied with his own name, Bad returned to his teacher and decided to keep his name and work on what mattered.

And working on what matters can be daunting, intimidating, right…?? People tends to be fearful and seek out there their purpose and meaning, because that is what they have been taught, by their families, by their religions, by their culture and societies overall. So they compare and work towards becoming this and that, they refuse to look within so they escape it–seek refuge and distraction from themselves in the world. But their identities are not a name, a mental program, a lifestyle they have been taught; and this is their weakness, they do not know themselves… And do you know yourself…??

Now, to know yourself is to accept yourself completely; and to accept yourself completely is to erase fears of being lonely, or of having losses, or of being left by others, or of making mistakes and being shamed by others. To see this and to cross that bridge. To embrace yourself fully by seeking all inside yourself, it is how your life and your situations become clear. And now there is no fear, because you know that fear inside you and you became one with it

Explore your very being…

Today I wanted to show you some of my paintings, because I was reminding myself this morning how important is to be creative and have an outlet–a source of your own where you can recharge and express yourself. Whatever that is for you, learn to be creative in whatever you do, as simple and silly you think it might be; work at it, use the talents and intelligence you have to create, to inspire yourself and others, because that is where the key to being unique is found.

People tend to often live monotonous lives, and lives full of frustration and stress; the job, the kids, the relationship, the friends, the engagements, the idea I have to work on, the traveling, the rent. But what about yourself…?? What about discovering yourself from the inside instead of engaging on activities solely on the outside…?? And people cannot find clarity and freedom in their lives, and this is because clarity and freedom come to your mind whenever this one is stress-free and calmed, peaceful and in love with yourself or with the person you are; thus free to be yourself and not follow a set pattern given by society.

To discover yourself you must then open yourself to new frontiers, to new paradigms, to new ways of exploring yourself. So you can discover love and happiness in you as a trait of your very being…

“Everlasting beauty.”

“Samadhi.”

“Set adrift.”

“Reconnaissance mission”

Perfection.

What is being Love…??–Is it to tell the people around you that you are love but in secret you are still unhappy and seeking desperately relationships??–Is it to claim you are not attached but you still find your reason for love and happiness in another person and not in you?? It is hard to understand for many, I know, because society claims, and has taught you since birth, that love is a designed set, concepts, something you acquire with two people or with a family: 1- you like a person so you date, 2- you “fall in love” with that person, 3- you get married and have kids (a bunch of kids, because the more kids you have the more love created in the family, right??).

And isn’t this love everything in life…??–So if you do not seek a relationship and then marriage, does that mean you don’t know love and that you can never be in love…??

But this is a mere concept, steps created by society and that most people follow blindly because they believe romance to be the source of love. And, of course, one is free to do whatever one wants in his/her life. But is liking someone, dating, getting married, following all these steps, Love…?? Is it…?? Because if it is then divorces shouldn’t exist, wars shouldn’t exist, prejudice shouldn’t exist, and all the ugliness people of this world create shouldn’t exist. Because if you truly know love, and if you truly are in love then your whole life changes; you become more emotionally connected, you become kinder, gentler, fear vanishes and you desire harmony and love to everyone. If you really know love then you don’t just love your partner, but you are love–which means that all you think, feel, and do towards the world is love. You are love and that is all you know.

But the world is full of people in love with whomever they date and marry, they follow the steps marked by society– So how come they still hate others, lie, cheat, do not appreciate the life of other sentient beings, divorce themselves, murder themselves, fight with themselves. But still everybody you ask claims to know love, right….?? A father loves his son and his wife, but he kills other countries as a military man and also hates immigrants with all his heart. But he knows love…?? Anyone among you makes sense of this…?? This all happens because no one really knows love, because all they know is what society teaches, levels–i.e., friendship love, family love, love for a job, love for an education, and romantic love being the highest peak of love.

All they know is to seek, and seek, and seek in the world; but the problem is that when you spend your whole life seeking, you actually deviate yourself from love. Because in order to seek with success, first you must become love–you must actually love everybody. If you love all beings, it means you have no fear; if you have no fear, then your love with another will be perfect. If there is no fear, then you have no reason to hate anything or anyone. If you have no fear, then you are love–not “in love” but you are love.

Because the source of love is not something you seek in the world, create as a couple, or design by following steps marked by society. The source of love is an individual meditation, godly, pure, an expansive energy, which brings the perfection of love, because your whole existence becomes this perfection–and now you can love the world with perfection as well.

To the top!

What is the composition of life–in its spiritual, mental, and physical aspects…?? Life is learning to find a balance in these three aspects, isn’t it…?? And if you do not find this balance, or embrace one more than the other, what happens…?? Have you really thought about this…??

Success, love, happiness, freedom to be yourself–these are all one and the same, because being successful means to love what you do, and loving what you do means being happy, and being happy means you taste freedom to be truly yourself. But by “love what you do” I do not mean the popular significance society preaches in magazines and on TV ads–i.e., make money and be popular, study and seek something which is famous in the industry or in the marketplace, be like them or follow in their footsteps. By “love what you do” I mean discover yourself as a person (no matter age or origin), if you make a mistake welcome that mistake and keep on going, pay attention to anything that you do, and be brave enough to love and explore every little detail of yourself and of life in all aspects–spiritual, mental, physical, financial. This is balance, isn’t it…?? When you do all this you are truly successful, right…??

But in order to feel successful and experience all these wonderful things in you–love, happiness, freedom, etc.–you must discipline your mind, you must order your mind and clean it. If your room has clothing all over the floor, and dirt, and food stains, and whatnot, it would be very difficult to feel yourself clean, sleep in there, and find what you really need in the mess; so, what you do is be disciplined, you clean it and order all the items thrown. Life is exactly the same: You are successful by ruling your mind, by disciplining your mind; for that is its real purpose, your mind is just a tool for you to find all these wonderful things I have mentioned in the beginning. By allowing yourself to realize this, your mind becomes more open to be at your service; and you get to use it and manage it to your advantage, to be your true self and experience all success.

While you do this and work on yourself, your example guides others who do not rule their minds but who let their minds rule them… This is how you illumine your path, as well as someone else’s…

The game.

People make the mistake to seek themselves in society–in their relationships, in their jobs, in their religions, and in all their particular activities. This is to put on masks and try to fit in and find your love, your happiness here; however, these are the lies people live and tell themselves every day. Because these are mere things, as important as they can be to you, superficial things you do, experiences of the human games you are here to play; but still you are searching for yourself in the wrong places where nothing of eternal substance can be found…

“The game.”

I was blind and my foothold very weak,
I thought me as superior in my own eyes,
I felt saved, proud, safe in a crooked path
Where I had you through painful choices.
I did not see myself in this game but a lie
Which grew in me and cut my freedom,
A game where I constantly seek and seek,
In you, In them, some love, some happiness,
A way to express myself through my masks;
But soon it swallowed me and kept me away
In spite of my bouts of anger and frustration,
In spite of my desires to be mended by you.
But I finally discovered myself in the mirror,
Aging, deceived, broken–but alas awake!
Thus awake with a light I hadn’t seen before,
Such brightness which took me past the mask,
Past societies, past cultures, past seeking.
And now I saw you, dear, for who you were,
My partner, not my savior or my source of love;
And I saw me, I saw how illumined I was,
what I was, and who I needed to be for me.
Yes, I contemplated my role and my worth
Far beyond society’s many false arguments.
Who was I…?? Thunder came, lightning shot,
Then I knew who I was, and who you were too…

Possibilities…

Why is it that people feel enslaved to fears, to failures, to things going not as expected…?? Is it because they are betting it all on their expectations, living for their goals and dreams, adding all their energy to a particular achievement…?? Fear is blocking us from living, isn’t it…?? I mean, beyond fear being a challenge to overcome and a necessary tool in the evolutionary kit of mankind, people are not living each moment really with love and happiness; but they are always expecting something better to arrive, something which will get rid of the fear and somehow give them love and happiness, and a certain fulfillment and certainty.

And this sickness is an expectation, an egoistical activity which directs all their behaviors, which brings confusion, doubt, all feelings of deeper fear, and that quite often leaves them paralyzed and without self-worth. Ever wanted to say something to someone, do something, start some project, become something, but you instead allowed thoughts of fear to come into your mind and paint images of what could go wrong or started imagining the worst turn of your story…?? This was your imagination, not your higher conscience or greater intelligence, or some survival mode–i.e., as many of you ignorantly think.

See, following your dreams, your noble passions, setting on your journey of achievement, is experiencing being human, it is indeed discovering yourself and how great you are; however, you must not confuse yourself, whatever your dreams are, whatever your true and noble passions are, whatever you want to experience in the world, is not all you are and it does not limit your expression as a spiritual being. It is easy to lose yourself on experiences and goals, and it is easy to allow your mind to find your worth in expectations–“my next relationship,” “my new job,” “the next phase of my life,” “my new affections and kindness to friends and family,” “my traveling plans,” “my commitment to this and to that,” etc. etc. Putting all your energy and love into this is exactly what, consciously or subconsciously, creates doubt, confusion, fear; because while this, your ego tends to rule and tell you that this is you, that this is what must keep you happy and loving yourself. But how can it be you if it is a product of your mind/of your ego…?? And how is this true love and happiness if it is found in your mind/your ego…??

You must wake up to this and realize it for yourself, that you must live each moment, that you must put your energy and your heart in each moment and not on a bet or expectation of something in the future… Live your life knowing that you work each moment so the best unfolds in front of you, because is in the moment where your future and the best things lie…

What is being filled right now…

Post author By thegodwithinblog
Post date July 4, 2018
No Comments on What is being filled right now…

What are you allowing yourself to be each moment you live, right now, for the next situation which arises, for this and the next thought…?? You choose how you project yourself and how you behave in each moment, do you not…?? What percentage of you is love, understanding, and moral character, would you say…??–And do you act or behave accordingly in all situations (not in the situations which you like, but in all of them)…??

Your moods, your mental stress and frustration, your indecision, your poor choices–they all are about you, about the essence you allow to fill your mind. Of course, life challenges you, you feel pressures, you feel loneliness, neglect, the past coming back to you; however, all that you are as a human being is your own mind, so you allow yourself to be love and live or to be fear and die in your mind. For example, I may regret my marriage, or my hurtful words to someone, or my overall poor education, or my current health status, but what defines me is really my mind right now preparing for my next step, my next choice. That is, what defines me is my present mind content, my present feel, my present behavior; because all this is the content that will project me and take me onto a better behavior in the next step I take or situation in which I will be.

The proportion of your being, of your humanity, of your character, is measured by what fills your mind right now, either fear or love; and so, that is why self-awareness is so important, because you must know the very content of your own mind in order to be truly free. If you neglect to fill your own mind with love and understanding each moment and so choose to allow your outer circumstances and situations to dictate your mind’s content instead, then you will make terrible mistakes and fail over and over again–and, worse, you will be confused as to why your life is not progressing and you are suffering.

You are what your mind is at this moment, so remember that all the time: You may lie with your words to someone, you may even tell yourself that you are fine, perhaps you smile all day and show yourself nice to the public, you may go to group meditation and follow all the nonsense they teach you there; however, this is superficial, a pitiful front, a mere facade, the beauty of a red apple which perhaps is rotten and filled with worms inside… Don’t wait for a better situation in your life to fill your mind’s content with love and understanding; life is right now, your mind must be right now…

images — Every situation, every second you live is measured and dependent on what your mind contains right now, thus your life is right now. Forget and forgive what happened a moment ago, if you do not it can only infiltrate your mind and corrupt the next moment you live. Learn to fill your mind with a rich content of greater love for what you do and a deeper understanding of your happiness right now. Not a moment later, not when things get better, RIGHT NOW.
