When you see it.

A world with magic, happiness, love, freedom to be ourselves, unique and creative.  Isn’t that what we all, at some level in our different ways, seek…??  And it seems far away, even impossible, doesn’t it…??  But what if you held the power though…??

People create their own hell and fall trap of their own blinding fear.  The divine in them cannot find a way to fill their minds with love and understanding if all it finds buried deep in the psyche is sadness, or contempt, or feelings of mistrust, or arrogance, or the sort of darkness which brings selfish addictions and vain thoughtlessness.  But none of us is doomed to the lower self, to dwell in negativity and worthlessness; but to rise and see what is beyond our ego and above our negative thinking, we have to accept that we cannot know everything, we have to accept that there are forces we have to trust–namely forces of nature.  What are these forces of nature…??   We may give them various names perhaps, but one that sticks to us as human beings above all others is Love.  This is real magic!  The universe runs on magic!  It is magic then because this is a force that exists inside each atom, eternally, throughout all, around us and in us, and as source of life itself; and all evil, misconduct, fear, misery, is because of love–it springs or branches out from it.

Our minds create the duality, but still the magic reigns.  But have you seen how a smile, kindness, goodness, thoughtfulness, attracts…??  It unites.  Magic creates, unites.  But in order to be love, rise in love, patiently find a partner, become this connective tissue of eternal friendship, you must rise to the challenge, believe in love, trust it–even though you may feel worthless or miserable, rise to this challenge.  Be magic, which means believe you are magic; just because you are–and your mind is the only one which does not truly know what you are, it might know concepts and philosophies but it doesn’t fully grasp your magic.  So, you must be ready at all times to smile, to be kind and gentle, to see the good in the bad, to turn a bad mood into a good mood, and to remain faithful in the midst of your own mind’s negligence.

Believing in magic, like when you were a child before all the corruption and dullness of adulthood filled your mind, is the only way to be magic, to be love and understand that there are forces in nature you must trust. Whether you seek a partner, a better financial situation, a better understanding, a more creative and positive personality, you must be magic first; allow love to rise in you by doing all those things that get you closer to love. Practice until you become it!

The Secret.

Amidst the turmoils of the world, of your everyday life, there is need to be strong; but this strength must come from within you, your only place for refuge which is eternal, unchanging, truthful.  Beyond the pettiness of the ego which always wants to compete and win over the ignorance of others, you must find yourself, free yourself and get the energy you need to face your day.  This must be your temple, and so you have to honor it by making a daily practice of visiting these eternal waters in you–i.e., waters of youth, waters of true alchemy and high conscience on which you can always rely.  This is the secret to be yourself, strong, unique, confident; thus to be love and happiness by making it a daily practice, to visit your inner self, quiet your thinking and connect with your emotions.

“The secret.”

Beautiful women wonder where my secret lies,
For I ever rise over the fools which begin fights.
Wise men come to me for pleasant conversation,
For I give them deepness without frustration.

And the secret has existed for ages and ages;
The common mind had erased it from the pages.
It is in the fire of the human soul where you find
Confidence, strength, the love which does bind.

Can you allow it to speak in a retired place
Surrounded by peace and harmony…??
Can you quiet your thoughts in the midst
Of your mental storms fearlessly…??

That is the secret: To discover your place of love.
That is the key: To free yourself and fly like a dove.
To be strong is to rise over your own ego and fear.
To be strong is to always find within you good cheer.

Like the wolf.

A wolf–alone, individual, constant, patient, following his own.
So, losing and winning is based on competition, right…??  Losing and winning are concepts born out of comparison.  You watch others, you covet what others have, you desire to be like them and enjoy like them, you formed attachment and addiction to these ideas and views; so you compare and destroy your uniqueness, because in your mind competition broods as the only reality, the only way to better yourself and your life, and because your mind is infected now by this outer influence.  And, of course, this brings fear to the mind.  Can you see how this mindset brings fear…??

50465_original.png

Fear of not being good enough to achieve what you want, fear of so-called “failure,” fear of being mocked by others for not achieving, fear of feeling inferior, and the fears go on and on.  And this brings mighty pressure on you, your mind is now on struggling mode and you are not really enjoying the moment because your mind is upon what you could win or lose in a future; this obviously brings suffering, this puts you in a bad and tense mood because you are playing to win and you cannot do less than winning–so you must be always on and reactive, guarded and ready to strike at any moment.  But what of the pressure…??  The pressure is not only psychological but now is felt all over your body, and your immune system gets compromised, your energy in time is less because to compete and have this intense thinking you must use great amounts of energy.

And perhaps thoughts of quitting pop up in your mind…??  Who knows.  But if you do quit you feel beaten down, like a loser, like you missed on some great opportunity which you will never have again.  Are you starting to get the image…??…  Of course, if you are going to go for what you want, go for it, you are here on earth for it; however, don’t do it out of following society and to be obedient to a pattern, to be like somebody else and have what they have–only idiots do this.  And you are not an idiot, are you…??  Or maybe you are.  Only you know that in the recesses of your own mind, so explore it and find out.  Take the trip in silence, connect to your higher self.  Don’t agree or disagree with me.  Who cares about being right?! 
The truth is the only thing which matters here, so wake up to it!  And understand that life is your playground, but you must meditate, inquire within and discover how to play; if you play, do it for yourself, not out of competition or to be like the rest, so you never quit, so you keep going and enjoying all you experience.

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…??
new2.jpg

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…

Unique Art.

I think that too many people are just existing for the sake of getting through the day, through the week, through the year; or worse yet, people are just expecting situations to change and so they are not being the best they can be.  Their minds are located in their current problems, pressures of this and that, and they are ignorantly praying and desiring for better things, for better days, for happier days to come.  They are not really putting all their good vibes and energy, their best moods and pure hearts, into the task at hand, into what they are doing each minute of each day–i.e., into their communications with somebody else, into their self-talks, into their jobs, into their ideas, into their ways of affection towards somebody important for them, into their arts, into their alone moments, and into all activities.
StopAgaonizing
And can you not see that this is exactly the reason for any fear and lack of confidence to fester in the mind…??  Love and happiness is in how much energy and discipline/attention you put into whatever you do:  If you put all your energy and attention into your job (into the details of it without complaining), you will soon get used to it and find love in that.  If you put attention and all your energy in all aspects of a relationship, soon your mind will erase the flaws of your partner and you will become more caring and mature in the ways you express your love.  If you feel alone, neglected, but you begin to discipline your mind into putting all your energy into yourself and into activities for yourself, you will soon feel whole, working for yourself, and too busy loving yourself to feel alone and neglected.  So put all your attention and energy into whatever you do, all the time, even into things which you do not consider important–like cleaning, shopping, drawing, writing, taking the bus, walking by yourself, walking the dog, usual conversations, etc. etc.
Putting all your heart and soul into these things, in my own experience I know, will soon give you the inner strength to rise above all fears you may have; because life is a true celebration as you enjoy each moment (whatever that moment is), but when you neglect the moment then your attention wanders into overthinking and depression.  And art is just that, being extremely creative and unique in whatever you are doing.  See, popular art might be painting, dancing, acting, sculpting, making music; however, anything in life can be transformed into art, because art is what brings you love and happiness, what makes you say “I am unique and great!”
You can love somebody, or something you do daily, as an ordinary and mediocre person does, like most people, and so fall into hate, jealousy, sadness, feelings of worthlessness, and the rest of the nonsense; or you can love somebody, or something you do daily, as a true art form, uniquely of yourself as a superior human being who creates with his divine energy and wonderful creativity…  And it is all in your hands.  And it is all up to you…

The voices…

“What if I cannot do it??”  “And what if he/she does not return my feelings??”  “My life is already too difficult and I cannot do more!”  “What if they do not like me??”  “What if they don’t take me seriously??”  “What if I am not good enough??”  “I cannot accomplish my dreams ever.”…  Too many “What if” and “cannot,” don’t you agree…??  So, let us think with clarity stepping out from any fear your mind might have, just for a moment–  Who says “What if” and “cannot”…??  Who brings you down…??  Who gives you these defeating ideas and fears which keep your body paralyzed…??  Is it your mind/your ego/the one who likes to keep the status quo and things as they are…??
37350857_505799143186786_1691795241461350400_n
And we can all agree that sometimes, just a few times, fear may help us get inner strength and maybe also get some good analysis and critique of our situations; nevertheless, you must see that it can also cripple you and make you feel worthless, it can degrade you and tell you lies through overthinking and images of really damaging and speculative imagination.  And imagination is a divine gift but also a curse.”  Think about this for a second.  Realize what it means for yourself.

Your ego does not know the real you, your mind is the content of the world, the content of your experiences, the content of what you have been taught and given by example since childhood; thus, your mind cannot actually see reality, it cannot see you and all you are.  Your mind is in charge to protect you, and that is why it is bound to keep you safe and sound by not allowing you to see all you could be and accomplish if you dare say “I love you” to someone, or “I am a god or goddess” to yourself in all situations, or “I will get this!” to your passionate drive, or “I can overcome all my losses and challenges” to your aching heart or to the ego who produces this pain.

The ego works with imagination, your mind is imagination–imagination to create, to find greater ways to love, to accomplish more.  But imagination which is not controlled or disciplined, but ruled by your ego, is tyranny which enslaves you and keeps you chained to a mental desk; it brings out voices of despair, of sadness, of misery, of hopelessness…  This you must see and discipline your mind so you do not fall onto this trap; because you must recognize between the voices of your ego and the whispers of your Higher Self…

Machine’s cog.

What is it that drives you to wake up every morning and take on your day with a smile…??–is it your job and the promise of a paycheck, or is it your education and the promise of a better job with higher earning in a future, or is it your romantic partner and the affection you feel, or is it your kids…??  Do you feel you are actually awakening a little bit each day…??  Is your life fulfilling for you now…??  Are you rising in love (not “falling in love”) and happy with yourself and with whom you are now…??

cog-free
Society, in all places of the earth, is a machine–a colossal machine with rules and a particular programing, and whoever deviates from this robotic programing is not considered “normal.”  Because in this programing the ordinary man is nothing but a cog in the huge human machine, you must observe others and do as they do, you must fill your mind with the machine’s knowledge and ways of working, you must not deviate and think for yourself, you must not question them and yourself–you must learn love, God, peace, freedom, relationship, personality, morals, from society/from the big machine which allows you to fit in as a poor cog in its popular industry.  The ordinary man and woman is driven by this, this is exciting and fulfilling for them–to be this cog, to follow and be popular as the rest of the cogs, to live under the ruling and mechanical production of this machine. 
And what does the machine produce…??  Why does it make you want to remain a cog under it…??  Is it love, happiness, a better way of life which is unique of your soul, better health, self-discovery, true freedom to be and think for yourself…??  No.  No one can feel truly alive in this situation.  Being alive is being and rising in love with yourself, knowing that your world/your love/your freedom/your absolute happiness is yourself.  So if you are awakening to many things, if you are becoming more connected to your feelings, if you are discovering slowly who you are and what really makes you happy; thus, you are not fitting in as a cog in the machine, just know that you are actually becoming alive, aware of your own ego as a mere cog…  And your path doesn’t end, because to be alive is to find yourself every single day; and that is why you get to live every day a new day, only if you feel alive and away from the monotony, only then you can get out from being a mere cog…

The moon talks about us tonight.

Ever enjoyed silent nights out on the porch or the yard, just you and the stars above…??  Ever stopped your mind from rushing and thinking, and just enjoyed what is…??  We tend to keep busy with all these plans and activities, all this stress and frustration, ideals and work to do, but this is just avoiding ourselves, keeping ourselves distant.  And yes, we all have our challenges, pressures, difficulties, and these must be attended and fixed; however, this activity is not creating energy but taking away energy, taking us away from ever finding that silent place within ourselves where true love and happiness live. 
And most people is so used to running around and intensely thinking all day that they miss themselves, their attention is always on the world and on their problems and appointments.  But is this all there is to life…??  Perhaps, to be one with yourself, recharge yourself, allow yourself to just be, and to let go of mind and all ego, one must stop for a moment and enjoy a moment under the stars or a moment of pure silence where your attention is on you and God’s nature, just being, just feeling yourself and nature without the complications of an unruly and rushing thought…

“The moon talks about us tonight.”

All I ever knew was how you felt,
All my deep passions and desires,
All my foolish wars and past hurt,
All my selfish and worthless blurt.
Tonight under the magic of the moon,
As I allow myself to stop my thought
And feel you without any mental holds,
Away my ego as my dear you unfolds.
I had searched day and night for you,
But my search had been in great vain;
For you were not in the world I knew,
But you were within me in plain view.
And the moon talks about us tonight,
She says we are the greatest lovers;
Its magical light bathes us in eternity,
So we stay ever together in serenity.

a2565946327_5
That mysterious pull of the moon, influencing oceans and its tides.  And the human body is made mostly of water also, so we may feel the influence of the moon on us when we allow ourselves to step out of our heads and in touch with our emotions, silently, just being, in touch with what is.
