The power game in relationships.

Power is politics, isn’t it…??  Power carries a selfish end, doesn’t it…??  Can power then be related or go with true love…??
Politics is the group of activities associated with the ruling or governing of something, of a country, of groups of people, of a person; and especially the debate or conflict among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power.  Love, true love, is free, which means it does not demand, rule, or desire to control; but love exists simply for the sake of existing as a divine connection, no other motives or purposes.  Power is politics and the opposite of love– Can you see this for yourself…??
31369485_454050161695018_57630532602691584_n
Why do you desire money…??  It will bring power.  Why do you want to rule a country…??  It will bring power.  Why do you want respectability and prestige…??  It will bring power.  People search for power, consciously or subconsciously, in different ways…  For thousands of years, the ignorant society of men in which we live has created ways for men to be powerful–i.e., in schooling, jobs, patriarchy in the family, religion and its stupid systems, etc. etc.  Women have been left with only one outlet, namely their bodies, their physical beauty; thus, we have prostitution and all pornography popular…  But slowly more opportunities are now being given for women to be powerful, to get out of the old bondage; fighting men to get university degrees, claiming her place in the home, voting, authoring and leading, etc. etc.

But the truth is, power is politics, and power only brings misery, contention, competition, inferiority and superiority, and the rest of the nonsense.  And in relationships the struggle for power only brings suffering and confusion, it has nothing to do with love and everything to do with fear–i.e., Who is better??  Who is right??  Who does more in the relationship??  Who gets his or her way more??…  This is an ugly state.  This should not be so.  And if love is to exist then this must change; for love cannot be reduced to power politics, thus you are killing love…

Life is relationship, and relationship is love; this means life is only happily experienced through relationship, and the only true relationship is based on love, not attachment or fear of any kind.  So, take politics out of love, because a relationship will slowly die if you bring politics into it; and, if all the relationships you have die, then your happy experience of life will die as well…  Perhaps you can’t see this right now, but it is the way humanity works, the way deeper into things that most people take for granted…

Where is freedom…??

What is the true revolution which actually changes the individual…?? Why is freedom a personal revelation, an inward revolution…??
The world, each group, every individual wears a mask and puts on a show of brutality or kindness, in this way we all desire to be truly free; because whether man consciously knows it or not, freedom is true love, true happiness, and we seek it in different ways.  So humanity seeks love and happiness, they seek it through what they call rebellion or revolution, which in their sheer ignorance means defending the country through wars, through more variety in foods by killing and exploiting animals, through physiological and psychological highs with drugs of various types, through sex with different people, etc. etc.
31288241_453324871767547_6564788813934100480_n
They do this over and over again, they have been doing it for thousands of years and they haven’t learned yet; for they seek freedom outwardly through activities of the ego…  But can the ego really give you love, happiness, freedom…??

No.  It is an illusion of the senses.  Freedom is an inward trait, an inward revolution, thus it is us without an ego-centered activity.  Freedom is not putting on the show.  Freedom is being you, embracing your flaws, discovering your unique talents, expressing your feelings and thoughts.  Freedom is meditating on yourself daily, and not allowing others to pressure you into going to war, into hating, into eating the same the masses eat, into having the same fun the rabble has.  For how can anyone really be free if you try to be liked by others, follow others, and reject your true self….??  Hell, this is sheer madness!

To free the world, to allow love into the world, to bring happiness into the world, first you allow yourself to experience this by having an inner revolution; and because you are the world, your consciousness brings this energy of freedom, of truth, into the world you see–i.e., it is a connectivity, a divine and wonderful link which unites our consciousness with the collective consciousness.

“To live is to find out for yourself what is true, and you can do this only when there is freedom, when there is continuous revolution inwardly, within yourself.”  ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti.

The capacity to be ALONE.


Why is it that for most people being alone is so difficult…??  Do you realize that when it comes to love and happiness, inward manifestations, they can only be known by one who knows how to be alone…??

31206238_452512935182074_619718125310443520_n
The undisciplined mind is always chatting and seeking entertainment and the company of other minds, seeking noise and distraction from the inner self; therefore, the egoistical mind hates to be alone, it despises meditation and depth, so it can never realize inward truths like love and happiness…  So what does it find out there…??

Out there, it finds attachment and pleasure.  The superficial mind loves attachment and pleasure because it distracts from the truth that the individual is not whole, the individual is lost and does not feel whole; so, the individual must seek for another person, another relationship, another buy, another trip, to feel whole…  Thus the illusion continues…  The illusion which says that the person knows love and happiness, but in reality the person only knows schemes in time and space, namely attachment and pleasure…  Isn’t this sheer madness, to live your whole life enslaved to this egoistical mirage and never actually experience true love and happiness…??

Love, same as happiness, is the foundation of what we are.  So how can it be found out there with all the noise and confusion…?? …  No.  Only the one who knows how to be alone knows it, because love is meditation, as life is meditation; and meditation only happens inwardly, when you accept and befriend your own silence, like the Sun finds its own energy and heat inwardly to bathe all of us and create life outwardly.

The Well.

Days can be sad, cloudy, stormy, and you might even feel rejected.  Lightning and thunder can come down on you and rob you of the things you love the most.  The eternal night can swiftly cover your dreams in obscurity.  No one really owns anything in this world.  What do you think you own…??–your husband??–your wife??–your kids??–your career??–the way you look now??–the art you have created??–your knowledge??…  What do you own really which cannot be taken away from you…??…


What if you were walking one day, by yourself, quietly absorbed by the beautiful trees smiling at you, rejoicing in the warm sunlight bathing your skin, the caress of the refreshing breeze gently grazing your cheeks, the smooth and short grass blades tickling your naked feet as you walk….??  What if your mind was empty right then and there…??  What if everything you knew–i.e., the relationships, the things you bought, the age you have, the anxiety finances bring, and all the rest of your past memories–was all gone at that moment, but you only know you are alive because you feel your quiet breath passing your nostrils and because you experience the divine nature around you…?? 

…And the rabbit hole goes even deeper…  Then you grow so meditative, so blissful, so conscious of this wonderful freedom, that you bump into a well.  You observe with the same meditation, the well looks magical, you have never seen anything like this before; there is a whole new world down there, where nature is as beautiful as it is where you are.  Thoughts pop up into your mind to come back, but you ignore them.


So, you come down the well and discover that it is even more beautiful, the rabbit hole goes deeper and you discover many wonderful things with your divine curiosity now:  Water is clean and refreshing, air is even better because is pure energy, it is always day here without any storm, your wrist watch stops and you realize there is no time here; then you discover some more, deep into it caves full of light and gold.  You want to live there, you feel refreshed, like new; but you have to face the night above, you have to go back to work, to your relationships which are not so good right now.  But you know you can comeback to the well.  And so you go up, and is night, and you can see the fantastic world of the well in your mind, you keep it in your heart.  Nothing robs you of that.  You really own it.  No one can take it away.. 

This is true meditation…

What Am I…??

Love is the human name which we give to what fills every atom in our bodies, and this divine energy of Creation resides beyond time and space, which is beyond every thought and feeling since these are of this named time and space. True love then is only known to us through a deeper connection, a powerful sense throughout our bodies.
johnlennon1
But beware of thoughts and feelings which talk of intense attraction and which create attachment, for this is not love but a form of expression which is stimulated by the physical senses.  This form of intense attraction is indeed attachment, and attachment is not freedom; but attachment is tied to a strong desire you have, to the desire of others, it finds identity in others, it makes you lost without others…  So, ponder deeply what love really is…

“What Am I…??”

Yes, as it be, my world has no bind,
I am from a place which is no place,
I am from a time which is no time,
Yes, I exist far beyond this space.
I came here to meet all and love all,
I stepped through the portal of flesh;
You and I freely flow towards the call,
Beyond idle chatter you and I mesh.

I am absolute freedom and I am you,
I do own all and I do not own things;
I am that which you see in the sky blue,
I am that which true happiness brings.
My very consciousness is most pure;
Enlightenment is my true level of Being.
Of society’s mental illness I am the cure;
You find me in you if you’re truly seeing.

Do not seek to see…

True success is the combination of love and happiness, because whatever you seek to attain must be sought with love in your heart and in your mind, such love in your heart and mind means happiness; for to be filled with love is to see beauty and delight in life, in the good and the bad times, and to see beauty and delight is to be truly happy.
And specially when it comes to financial or other material success, people deceive themselves in seeking first outwardly, then inwardly (if that ever happens, of course); therefore, they ignorantly allow their attention to fall upon their situations and the money they make with each paycheck…  But have you analyzed, really observed, how any success is truly born…??

22aa97806f15c5c0bc69d9b8fc17f9d4
I am not talking about people being born rich and successful, because that is another matter which does not concern me or interest me at all.  But I am talking about the more “normal” people like you and I, who are not born in golden crib but born in struggle and financial fluctuation; and our success then, it is not something we should seek to see, because most of the time success is not seen.  Like I said before, success is the combination of love and happiness, which must be born in you with honesty and heart.  And can you actually see love and happiness…??

No. You must cultivate that first within you like a seed, then, if you are patient and focused on your duty, you will create outwardly, you will harvest from that seed.  Your inner world creates your outer world.  So, do not be discouraged if you do not see success around you, for you must be patient.  Don’t ask how patient!  But be patient and do not quit… ever!

It all comes to you at the right time.

“And success … seems to be connected with action.  Successful men keep moving.  They make mistakes, but they don’t quit.”  ~ Conrad Hilton; American hotel tycoon and the founder of the Hilton Hotels chain.

A series of fun events.

Can’t you see that life is something to enjoy, fun, beautiful, whatever the situations are…??  Do you understand that you are experiencing this life to enjoy it…??
People tend to take things too seriously, don’t they…??  Of course, there is illness, economic problems, loss of loved ones, ignorant people around us, and more; however, if you can step away from those negative thoughts once in a while you might just like life, and you even may see the joke life is.  Your mind and its content is the screen through which you see life and the situations in your midst, and that is why you must clear your mind, wise up, elevate your consciousness, and see the beauty and love which is on the other side of your frustrations.

37c86f98c0e19a1449637a2b83edb8c9--law-of-attraction-money-mind-power
God, Creation, Life, Divine Essence, yes indeed, they are always giving you reasons to wake up and see the jokes behind every situation, behind every terrible illness, behind each burden you carry from the past.  Because all life is, all your moments, is a divine and fun series of events, like beautiful still photographs which you may see in your ignorance covered in filthy mud or in your very wisdom shining with warming light.

You build a world of love and happiness, of laughter and joy, when you bring those same things from yourself; and it is your responsibility to be able to bring this.  Not their responsibility.  But your responsibility…  Osho so eloquently said, “Learn to laugh.  Seriousness is a sin, and it is a disease.  Laughter has tremendous beauty, a lightness.  It will bring lightness to you and it will give you wings to fly.”…    So, can you see why laughter has tremendous beauty in it…??

“Lighten up, just enjoy life, smile more, laugh more, and don’t get so worked up about things.”  ~ Kenneth Branagh; Northern Irish actor, director, producer, and screenwriter.

Are you suffering…??

Whatever suffering you are going through right now, whatever issue you have, whatever memory pains you, it feels so deep and constant, buried into your thoughts and overwhelming your whole body as you bring memory of it, because in reality there is no separation; but it is your ego, your intellect, the one which tells you to run away from it or to fill your life with ways to ignore it, which thus builds the illusion of being two–i.e., you and suffering.  This is why life is experienced as duality and Oneness seems to be just a nice concept; for thought, the ego, makes it all dual in order for us to choose between two, form different human relationships, and see differences in this physical world.

dc21af099b8c5078f23989797b5bb91d
But underneath the myriad of structures of this world, underneath your joy and your suffering, there is only one essence which is the experience, neither positive nor negative… just an experience… just an experience your ego chooses to translate into joy or suffering… and which becomes the dual experience of your humanity… the differences you think and feel every single day…
29176900_434551076978260_8728962567407403008_n
Being human means duality, which is moments of joy and moments of pain, pure and impure thoughts, feelings of confidence and feelings of worthlessness; and so, all these are us, are part of our humanity.  And because it is part of our humanity this dual process, then we must embrace and acknowledge whatever we go through, not ignore it or escape it.  But we must welcome it and accept it, not dwell in it and not relive it over and over again; so, you are to feel it, explore that feeling, accept, and move on with your life, and for that you MUST forgive yourself and others.

 

Two are One.  One and the same.  When you run away from something you feel, for example suffering, you run away or ignore yourself; and because of this deep process of neglect upon yourself by yourself, then suffering comes back strong and never leaves you–i.e, as a form of self-punishment or self-slavery, one may say. 

But instead of ignoring or running away from it, you must acknowledge and accept, just be, welcome it and do not react to whatever you feel… because in time you will feel the Oneness in you… because in time your mind and your body will become one and you will not suffer what before troubled you so… because in time you will embrace the love of acceptance and your mind will stop dwelling on past memories while resisting to leave…

“Buddhism teaches us not to try to run away from suffering.  You have to confront suffering.  You have to look deeply into the nature of suffering in order to recognize its cause, the making of the suffering.”  ~ Thich Nhat Hanh.

Are you intelligent in your own life…??

Do you know why most people tend to make bad choices over and over again throughout their lives…??  People all over the world, even with higher education and vast experience, live in ignorance and create wars and all sorts of ignorant evil or mischief, so one wonders… aren’t these people with all their education and vast life experience supposed to be intelligent and create beauty instead of mayhem…?? …

So, what is really intelligence…??

28783396_432408427192525_5081735756221775872_n
All most of these people do is search for more success in the world, more recognition, more knowledge from books, more experiences, but all this goes to their intellect, which is the ego; so, all this is the accumulation of knowledge, superficial data which is gained by effort and struggle, as the mind is always trying to fix, always trying to achieve more and increase in superficial, mechanical awareness–an ambition which is capable of consuming the individual in pride of becoming better, more knowledgeable, more successful, more rich, more spiritual, etc..

All this never-ending struggle for becoming is a denial of what one really is, because one is never satisfied with that which one is, because one finds identity and worth, the ego finds identity and worth, in accomplishing and struggling to be.  This false identity and worth is tied then to our ego, to our daily thoughts of joy and suffering, to all feelings which like a roller coaster take us up and down in mood swings and through the neurosis of one’s state of mind.  This distances us from our real value and we start paying attention to people’s opinions of ourselves and to the very alluring but very ignorant society–i.e., what you should be, how is your life to be improved, what to eat, what to wear, what career to follow, etc.  Thus life becomes based on fear of not being better than somebody else and all fear of not becoming what they say we should become.  No real love grows within us…

As-I-began-to-Love-Myself-790x790
But is there a superior way to internalize and accept that which one is without the struggle and obsession to become better…??

Meditation, observing, peering into oneself, is realizing that there is no struggle in being, that we do not need to seek for experiences and obsess over becoming this or that in order to accept life and flow with it.  Observing the tides or ocean waves going in and out is relaxing and powerful, and so there is much learning of wisdom in it; and so, one does not have to think and struggle to understand the movement of the waves, but in simply observing our consciousness grows because now there is no distance between you and the moving water, there is no word, there is no judgement, there is simply a superior understanding which is real intelligence where the ego is dissolved.
so-you-think-you-can-trance-the-benefits-of-meditation-2-638

The same observing is required in all aspects of life to understand, to absorb wisdom and grow, to observe is to be intelligent without the struggle and desire to be intelligent.  Without comparing yourself to the world, without following, without all this behavior out of fear of not becoming this, you become really intelligent, you are what you are now; ergo, you follow your untainted heart without the ego demanding of you, you just flow and do not struggle to please others and fill the expectation others have of you.


“Joy in looking and comprehending is nature’s most beautiful gift.” ~ Albert Einstein.

Ways of The Light…

What is it that moves man beyond his intellectual education and given environment into greater heights of achievement…??  What is the difference between people who do and people who do not do, or between people who fight and people who give up…??  What is the way of life, or the wholly blissful experience of this divine condition we call life…??

Begin-each-day-with-optimism
The ego possesses the common man in a way which fogs reality and gives concepts and ideas to everything which happens in life, so we can say that this mind is tense and frustrated, joyful at times but easily overwhelmed by worry and stress.

This creates fear, conscious or subconscious, which gives man a false sense of experience, mental images of gloom and doom where suffering is all they see as reality; thus, man experiences chaos and negativity, and this brings pessimism and hopelessness in powerful bouts–sometimes long periods of depression and moods which injure the mind in question.

optimism-world-suffering-overcoming
This process of pessimism and hopelessness makes the mind weak and susceptible to all kinds of illnesses–i.e., it lowers the immune system, it stresses the nervous system, it creates cancers, it makes us repellents to better opportunities in life.


That is why the way to health in all aspects, the way of life, is being positive, being optimistic; which is not being attached to a particular outcome but being brave enough to keep a positive and faithful attitude even in the middle of chaos or crisis.

This is indubitably the greatest tool in the arsenal of the strong warrior, because it takes a highly intelligent and strong man to remain positive in the midst of the storm; consequently, knowing that he can indeed survive and come out triumphant is what drives him forward with a true and powerful heart.


28377783_429417187491649_614029642990354432_n
Being optimistic is not being naive and closed to reality, but the opposite–being optimistic is having the inner strength to quiet your own ego, your nagging thoughts and feelings tugging at you and making you see the worst scenario possible.   Being optimistic is allowing yourself to actually create your own experience and not allowing your outer environment and what your eyes see to tell you how to feel and lead your life.   To create beauty and good opportunities for yourself in this life, you must be able to envision good things in your mind first; but, furthermore, you must also be able to keep seeing good things in your mind constantly, patiently, faithfully, committedly, because otherwise you are just a mechanical tool of society/of your environment. 

…So, who are you–someone who creates his/her own life, or someone who follows the rabble and mechanically complies with whatever randomly happens…??  …  Think about it deeply for the answer…

 

“Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power.”  ~ William James; American psychologist, philosopher, educator, and writer.
