Cutting the strings of the puppet.

 

One great impediment and sickness in the world is that many people struggle, suffer, seek to be liked by others.  I do not mean just being nice and true to others to be appreciated, but I mean to obsessively try to fulfill other’s expectations and seek their approval.

When we are children we have our parents or caretakers, and so we look up to them and seek their approval to feel loved and to feel we are on the right direction in life; however, when one is a mature adult this behavior must stop, and you must take care of yourself, seek your own approval and direction.

As a wiser person, who you should be, there is no worst enemy than attachment, following others just to seek a form of “identity,” try to please others to be “cool” or stylish in society or with friends; for this begins due to a mind that is fearful of not fitting in, and thus a mind which knows no self-love.

To be unique, to be yourself, to be free or a “free spirit” you have to be able to live your experiences without being attached to the expectation of others, attached to situations, and attached to the thoughts of wanting to be the center of attention of others.

You must feel whole and love yourself completely in order to be happy and confident in your life; opposite to this, to remain a sheep to the shepherd and to choose to stay as a puppet for some puppeteer in life is indeed to feel empty and desperate within yourself, and this inevitably will lead you to feelings of profound worthlessness and great confusion.

Enlightening yourself.

 

Character-Development-C

 

When the supermarket clerk tallied up my groceries, I was $12 over what I had on me.  I began to remove items from the bags, when another shopper handed me a $20 bill.   “Please don’t put yourself out,” I told him.

“Let me tell you a story,” he said.  “My mother is in the hospital with cancer. I visit her every day and bring her flowers.  I went this morning, and she got mad at me for spending my money on more flowers.

She demanded that I do something else with that money.  So, here, please accept this.  It is my mother’s flowers.”  – Leslie Wagner, “Peel, Arkansas.”

So, the lesson or take here is that there are too many paths to be unkind or to remain distant to others, unaware to better ways to be gentle and kind to others; however, the path less taken or less used is the path a conscious individual must take.  So, whenever there is a chance for kindness and gentleness, take it.

Do not hesitate and wonder if it is popular or unpopular to demonstrate kindness and gentleness in a particular moment; for in this courage to immediate action lies your moral values as a human being.  You see, your moral values are born from within you and they are manifested not in your thinking, but in your behaving, daily, in the normal and simple things in life.

So, in order to change your community, your society, your nation, your world, you must use the goodness in you, in those simple moments in life, for example, when you are walking down the street and see a person in need.  Because it is about developing your character, so you shine in value and integrity as a person, and so you become an example to follow.

And so you find truth, and value, and meaning, and strength inside you, through your actions, in the creation of yourself as a better human being; to thus bring more love into your life, more joyful states of mind, more positivity, and more opportunities in every aspect.

Behind difficult moments.

 

quote-the-world-i-believe-is-far-too-serious-and-being-far-too-serious-is-it-has-need-of-a-wise-and-lin-yutang-280220

 

When we attach to beliefs and certain philosophies, we are being too serious; and thus anyone can come and attack us and bother us.  When we become to rigid and strict on our lifestyle, we might damage relationships by asking the same level from our partner; and thus ruin connection with people.

All this and more is being too into our own ego, too strict, too serious in life; and so, when this happens our minds become intolerant, easily insulted, extremely proud and insensitive.

If we become too proud and insensitive then we fall into negativity, tyranny, and a dark abyss in our subconscious; however, we might not see it happening in ourselves, as our personalities become blinded by this strict and serious poison affecting our minds while we lower self-awareness.

Life can have its ups and downs, your mind might make life difficult, and you might drown in a glass of water, emotionally speaking that is; and so, that is why your mind must be harmonious, peaceful, ready to take things lightly and laugh at the challenges you meet.

And, especially in relationships, you must be flexible, understanding, tolerant, loving, accepting of the other; hence, you must laugh and see the good side of situations and people, be positive and dare see the beauty behind your life, your situations, and behind difficult moments.

Critique on Morality.

 

iStock-497130111

 

What is morality…??  How do you know morality…??  How can you tell you are acting each time under moral values…??  Can it be that a human creature falters in this understanding due to a poor state of awareness…??  Conscience in man appears to be a precious commodity, rare, although famous in the racing and boastful mouths of people but dead in actual practice today. 

Conscience is not thought, obviously; for if conscience were thought then everybody would be highly conscious and aware of morality.  A thought is an illusion, a way to palpate the world and create our individual experience in its physical sphere; however, a thought is indeed how one can access every form of moral conscience, but even if man dares access this higher thought it is still an illusion because morality is only real if taken to practice, to behavior, not one time but each time and in each behavior–whether we like the situation we encounter or not.

So, conscience is a realm which is not found in the average thought.  The average thought is the content of someone’s mind, or the ego, which is past memories, past experiences, past educations and all ideas springing from the past (time), and based upon the past we conjure up a thought of the future, obviously.  That is what thought is, namely past and future–an illusion creating illusory worlds which only have reality as far as we, as the mind, are concerned.

And so, thoughts can ponder about this and that, and through it you may know right from wrong; but this is just the “shadow” or the small reasoning spewing from the realm of conscience.  Thought as the shadow of conscience, as the vestiges of morality, appears in your mind and says “this is good” or “this is bad”, or “do this” or “do that”; but, however, the ego, the influence of selfishness living in our minds, comes to you and says “do this as long as it makes you feel good” or “tweak your moral values a little bit so you get more self-satisfaction out of your behavior.”

4fc99f568d465c8280d90a8b4c504f00

These unashamed voices of the ego are always twisting conscience, and when conscience, when morality is changed or twisted IN ANY way, then there is loss of moral values, lack of morality and thus a corrupted conscience.  Humankind currently is asleep in this state, for people think they are moral because they follow thoughts of right or wrong which fits them, but they have lost themselves in the mentioned illusion and disgraced morality itself.

If conscience then is not thought, it is something beyond the human machine; for thought is the most important part of the human machine, or of the biological machine called a human being.  Thought structures and gives life to the human machine as long as energy from beyond the human machine keeps normally flowing into the realm of thought.  And thought contains right and wrong, this duality which is a construct of thought.

But beyond thought, the realm of pure conscience, the everlasting kingdom of morality, there is high intuition and awareness floating freely and without the abominations of space and time (thought); therefore, this high intuition and awareness, which is not infected by the duality of thought, is 100% identity and value dedicated to be mastered by the human machine with the result of true morality.

Having said that, the implications of the ego, of the human machine, are ever so threatening to the unadulterated development of this 100% morality as long as the mechanical mind stays in a state or poor awareness.  Lack of awareness then takes one to falter in understanding of what morality really is, and not only that but it creates the illusion of being moral due to choosing to do what is right and bringing self-satisfaction into one’s own biology.

Self-satisfaction is only good in the development of true moral values in the human creature as long as it does not blind you from global awareness of the whole human experience (universal humanity); however, as aforementioned, the ego tends to seek its own selfish motivations and “values” to do good, and thus in such cases one cannot truly know morality without a higher awareness bringing harmony and emotional openness to the mind and taming the passions of said ego.

The art of loving.

236944-Freedom-And-Love
Society, family, tradition, culture, religion, philosophy, cannot teach you how to love properly; however, they may give you ideas, experiences and ways which are popular out there, but they are not your own experience.
If you begin then by consuming all these sources to know love, you will become desperate and seeking love instead of nurturing love within you and sharing it from you.  Like The Sun fills itself with energy to give us life, you must fill yourself with love to give life to love in another.
To truly love is to remain free, because freedom is happiness; and happiness gives you that sense of wholeness, of healthiness, of immense love.

Now, an immense love, or immense capacity for love, is already within the human creature; however, the ego, its attachments out of desire, out of vanity, out of blind excitement, creates more attachment, obsessively, and any attachment makes you a slave and robs you of freedom.

If freedom is stolen from you then there is no love, because as we said love is freedom, or to remain free; therefore, the ego does not know love but attachment, such attachment which blinds you from love through an intense desire to possess someone or something–which can be a person, an idea or belief, or a thing.

Attachment, being not true love, can mislead you into believing a desire is love; however, this desire is created by the ego, and thus blinding you in life.

Only true love knows wholeness, health, and true care for yourself and for others; for only love is peace and harmony within you, such peace and harmony which brings connection and honesty, intelligence and strength in life.

So loving is an art form, the greatest art form a human being can master; for true love frees you from the chains of ego and desire, and true love then connects and builds out of honesty with yourself and with others.

An Eternity of Love.

54358757_645936539173045_6586906108802105344_n

 

Courage is the absence of attachment to fear; for fear is a strong vibration which we must transmute in order to use in our advantage.  Attachment to fear then is what brings any frustration, anxiety, and lack of peace in the mind; therefore, attachment must go.

Due to a life without attachments arises real love, the essence of it all, the profound connection to intelligence, harmony, and true relationship.  True relationship then, being the heart of existing as a human creature, must be true love, which is life without attachments; for any attachment brings fear, and if there exists any fear then love is not.

Love then brings everything good and moral, like courage, integrity, emotional openness, freedom to be, and all harmony in the mind and life of the person.  Now, one must see the difference between love and pleasure, because the mundane world does not know the difference and so infects everyone with this terrible ignorance:

Love brings no fear and anxiety whatsoever to the mind, and in fact if you are experiencing any sort of fear in your life right now then there is lack of love.  And love is not an emotional roller coaster either, so analyze how you feel each moment to know where you stand in life.

Pleasures bring you pleasant experiences as well, but opposite to love they bring you also anxiety, stress, obsessions; for pleasure is limited to your human activities in time–human activities are designed by the ego, whether balanced ego or not it is never perfect.

But one certainly has to watch out for this, because most people today, in total ignorance, expect pleasures to be love; however, love is not limited to an activity of the ego or the mind–and, not being limited, love is perfect, but pleasures are not.

Passion and Commitment to your Cause.

go-confidently
To be truly effective, to bring good change, to deliver with efficacy and integrity in life, one must be loyal to oneself and to one’s purpose; for it is not enough to desire something, because a mere desire is of the ego, thus weak and easily influenced and corrupted, and soon you may get distracted or even lose commitment to that same purpose.

So there has to be a higher level of loyalty and commitment in you in order to create great effectiveness in whatever you do.  Many who start a diet and eating healthy, for example, fail and soon return to their unhealthy habits.

And many who truly make an effort to love unconditionally soon collapse and find themselves not truly loving anymore, perhaps struggling to accept another and care for another and even oneself.

Same happens in any aspect of life.  You must develop clarity and understanding of the specifics of that purpose, and this will give you balance and strong commitment, which in turn will solidify your desire and transmute it into a burning passion.

But this attitude and commitment to be effective in what you want or desire must also be based on integrity of character, on higher moral values; for higher moral values will keep that passion and commitment burning, for higher moral values are based on your inner joy and well-being and not on outside circumstances which can be outside your control.

Much more real.

 

grateful1

 

What is the essence, the core, the reason which makes things enjoyable…??  And I am not talking about the best things in life or the most expensive, but I am talking about the things of every day–things like your own body, your bed at night, your family relationship, your clothing, your bite of food, your small or large faith, etc.

All this and more is what makes life possible to enjoy, the little things which are not truly so little; for our minds get used to them and may describe them to us as not so important, but in a closer look they are extremely important for our well-being.

All it takes is gratitude, recognition, realizing that these and all everyday things are giving us the chance to be capable to better enjoy our lives.  Human creatures are blind and stubborn at times, they see what they do not like in things and forget the necessity of these same things.

 

gratitude

 

To be awakened, to see the truth and heart of life is to keep every second with gratitude and contentment for what you currently have; for this is reality, the acceptance of love in you, the developing capacity for gratitude.

I am not talking about prayer as religions teach it, or any god or saint worship.  No, personally, my love and gratitude is much more real than that.  I am talking about living every second of life without complaining, without envying what others have, without disliking your current life as it is.

A gratitude in your heart is all that matters to bring acceptance and love into your mind, so you may feel strong and decided to live your life with challenges and all.

Between Heaven and Hell.

 

index

What creates our experiences in life is our very minds.  The pain of your divorce, the relived tragedies of painful memories, the feelings of not being good enough, the anxiety when you do not have such and such money, the itching desire for possessing somebody, etc.–it is all your mind.

You may, of course, create your own ignorant excuses of why you feel what you feel–i.e., they make me feel like that, I have an inherited mental disease so I am depressed, I am not rich or have a great job so I constantly feel worthless, I am physically unattractive and nobody wants me, my nation’s politics keeps me violent and agitated, etc.

But, you see, by attaching yourself to all these excuses you are feeding the fire, you are increasing the suffering and anxiety, because you are fighting your own struggles, you are denying how you think and feel and labeling it as something wrong to feel, as something evil.  You are saying it is wrong, or even wicked, to feel like that.

In a way of speaking, you are creating demons, you are creating hell, you are creating your own suffering and neglect.  You are doing the opposite of acceptance here.  Can you take a few seconds and ponder this…??

You must accept all that appears in your mind and all that which you feel, ALL of it; for accepting it is welcoming it, which is like making friends with it, making friends with that part of yourself you do not like but respect now.

This psychological behavior of acceptance begins a transmutation in you, because now you are assimilating and absorbing that which you did not like before, so you get to create it and deal with it under your own terms; otherwise, it is just God and The Devil always fighting in your mind, and this struggle brings you your own hellish experience.

The struggle in your mind between what you currently are and what you should be, or want to be, is what breaks you into fragments, and the fragments are what makes you suffer and feel worthless or like you are not living a happy life.

A very personal decision.

 

Thoughts2-777x437

 

For thought to manifest, to create beauty out of ugliness, to attract wealth out of poverty, to bring health out of an unhealthy body, you need higher intelligence, higher projections of imagination.

Animals do not have this.  Plants do not have it.  They are literal, what you see is what you get.

But in our human existence, the ugliest man can make the most beautiful woman fall in love with him, the unhealthiest person can become the healthiest one, the poorest person can become the richest, the dullest individual can become highly intellectual and talented, etc. etc.

All these accomplishments and more are manifestations or creations of our higher minds, of higher imaginations to be more precise; hence, humankind has been gifted with higher states of imagination, so what we imagine, without fear and with divine patience, we can manifest throughout our lives.

Evidently, it not only takes imagination but our own effort; therefore, we have been given the most powerful tool to build, but we must use it properly and without obstacles to building–i.e., without fears in our minds.

And it is funny that the same powerful tool given to us also brings the most powerful enemy into us, fear.  So we may create better futures for ourselves or we may destroy our futures by the same power, namely Imagination.

 

And it is a very personal decision though. 

Question is:  How would you use it…??
