Fly Freely.

 

e63b9cabfd01b7444c12a9cefbeb4c29

 

Too many preoccupations and frustrations, too much anger and feelings of hurt; therefore, a great weight keeping people down and unable to be free of burden.

And in order to do with bliss and positive attitude, one must be free of burden.  This is a must, there is no other way around it but to get rid of all baggage–whether it be friendships, family ties, past memories, and whatever keeps you in psychological and emotional chains.

“Fly freely“

What lies out of anger and sorrow…??
Have you ever tried to find out??
There is no death more than this,
Trapped in one’s heated world,
Obsessed by one’s disappeared bliss.

Who is the conscious man…??
The fool reasons in the storm,
Like the pig wallows in its mud;
But conscience is not in the storm,
Because the fool remains mad.

Gods admire the bird’s passion
When it flies through the blue skies,
The one the fool lost in his sickness
Because he banished his own wings–
Is it worth, I ask, to live in bitterness…??

When one’s thought is calmed,
There is no anger and sorrow;
As there appears wings to fly free,
As harmony appeases the storm,
There the mind with angels be.

Fire of life.

Do you know in your life what truly does not serve you…??  Are you honestly working on transforming it…??

As Prometheus came down and brought humanity fire from the gods, we all have it in us to forge ourselves and transform our lives, in order to transmute darkness into light, weakness into strength, and self-doubt into confidence.

But you must take the time and look within, stop seeking and wallowing in your situations; for if you give attention to what is outside you give fuel to the same, but if you focus on transforming yourself from within then you are fueling your inner experience to create a better experience in your outside.

Everyone’s worried about their lives, but no one seeks the origin of the same.  When a building has structural problems, the builder or engineer must look at the foundations, the inner walls, and to whatever originates everything.  And so must be with life itself, and the foundation of life is what you cannot see, which lies inside you.

 

Success, love, bliss, harmony can be reached, reconciled in your daily affairs; but you must go to the foundations and strengthen there, otherwise you are just patching the outer walls instead of reinforcing the base of it all.

The light in the storm.


The heavier and longer the hardship, or the challenging and enduring the suffering, the more strength and wisdom that can be absorbed and learned from it, in my own experience; however, one must remain faithful and positive, or at least have some awareness to see your situations through.

Why do you think one has to suffer, or go through losses, or fall into depressing times or challenges in life…??  We all go through it, rich and poor, educated and uneducated, man and woman, young and old; and it all comes to us for a reason, it all fits a design, which your mind does not have to understand really, you just have to be humble enough to accept what is and learn from it.

Whether you think you deserve it or not, accept what is happening right now; and accept that you have much to learn still, even though all the knowledge you have and your past experiences.  Fools ask themselves “Why??” in the very rain and thunder of the storm, but the intelligent ones know to resist the storm and observe it in order to remember what we lived and so learn from it.


Life is truly the greatest teacher, not Jesus, not Buddha, not any other man or deity you worship or to whom you pray; but life is divine, which means that life, YOUR life, is highly conscious, it knows you and it forges you to be a better human being.  The thing is, that life cannot force you to learn from the challenges and hardships it gives you; but that is up to you, either to choose depression and ego, or to choose resilience and wisdom.

Not easy for anyone, but 100% worth it; because each one of us has greatness inside, to build a great destiny or fate or future, or however you want to call it.  But the direction you take is measured by your response to the challenges you live, and the decisions you make in your mind are everything.

Find the hidden miracle.

Future love, future happiness, future freedom–these do not exist more than just imaginations and machinations of your ego.  “I will be thankful when I have this.”  “I am so close to being happy.”  “A little more work and I’ll achieve my goal.”  These and more are false manifestation of our ego.

Life is now and it is to enjoy now, not to suffer for what you do not have or have lost and want to recuperate.  Accept your life as it is now, whether your ego labels it pleasant or unpleasant; and enjoy what you have now, do not follow dreams and neither fall into memories of past losses.

If you do not accept your life as it is now, then you will suffer more anxiety and live on psychological suffering, which will manifest on physical suffering as illnesses.  There are people in the world who are homeless and have less than you; but they still live happily in the moment day by day.  There are people in the world who have lost more than you and have suffered much more than you; but they, nevertheless, do not allow depression to bring them down.

 

Now, this is wisdom; to celebrate your life each day, each moment, because life is now.  So, whatever you lost, you lost.  Whatever is gone, is gone.  And whatever will be, will be.  Learn to wisely live with it.

  But, do you know what is under your control…?? Do you know what builds your experience of love and happiness…?? The wisdom is Now, the happiness is Now, the choices are Now; so, however you choose to live your life, remind yourself that there is only Now.

So, you must find the joy, the good side of things now, whatever you experience seek in there something good; for there is ALWAYS something, for he is wise who finds the hidden joy in the moment.  Find the hidden miracle.

Remain free.

inspirational-bird-quote-freedom

Whatever you are going through right now, whatever you are postponing, whatever you fear or doubt doing, is keeping you enslaved, in a very real sense; and when there is this fear or anxiety, as small and non-threatening as it might be to you, festering inside your psychology then it soon becomes part of you, seeping into your subconscious and into your character as a person.

Many people, due to this psychological process, live in fear and doubt, their behaviors and lifestyles, characters and ways of thinking are ruled by a subconscious fear and also a value lacking in them; however, they do not think so because, like mentioned, it acts in them subconsciously, like a mental program, so for them is really normal to think, react, and behave the way they do.

Life is to be lived free of any fear, free of any confusion or doubt which can cripple you even a little; for life should be to you like a clear, smooth, rich and large body of water, where there is no fear to drown or to be victim of anyone or anything disturbing you.

Your life and the activities you take on must feel clear and purposeful to you, with no grudges or animosity with anyone or anything, and without you having to look over your shoulder or worrying about what is going to happen next.   It is indeed possible to actually live a life without fears and anxieties.

So, do not live your life ran by a subconscious mental programming, but take matters into your own hands.  Clear your mind from fear and anxiety.  This decision you make is one which is not only going to change you and free you to become a happier individual, but it also educates others through your very example in the way life should be lived.

Out of the cave: Revolution of The Mind.

“There are people in a cave who have been chained and are unable to turn to any other direction except for the wall they are facing.  Because of the chains they cannot see anyone besides themselves, nor can they see the cave’s exit; such exit which is directly behind their backs.  The only source of light in the cave is a campfire.  Beyond the chained people and this fire there is a cover behind, where there are other people that go about on their own business.   They are walking past, carrying stone and wooden statues of men and animals, etc.  The chained ones are observing a blank wall and can see, because of the fire, the shadows of themselves and of that which is happening behind them–i.e., the movements and the shadows from the other side…

As they are walking by, some of the people behind the cover are talking to each other while others are silent.  The voices echo in the cave while the shadows dance on the wall; so this activity makes it appear to the chained ones as if the shadows are real and talking.  Those in chains have no other things to do except for talking about the shadows they see and hear, judge the shadows, gossip and invent stories about these same shadows, and even add their own ideas for the origin of these shadows.  So they try to guess which shadows shall pass next and in what order, and in ignorance they even invent all kinds of beliefs about the shadows.  Those that are the best at guessing and inventing are granted with honors, praised for their fantastical stories, and get more acclaim than the others.”  ~ Plato, allegory of the cave.”

the-allegory-of-the-cave-by-plato-1

So, what does this tell you…??  It is your reason, your conscience chained in a cave still…??  Are you trapped by your own opinions, conspiratorial philosophies, dogmatic beliefs, cultural superstitions, ignorant ideas of the world and of what truth really is…??  Or do you dare exit the cave in which you live to explore the outside knowledge and free yourself…?? 

The truth is out of this cave.  Exiting the cave means the soul’s rising into a world of ideas and facts, truth and higher conscience.  One can accomplish this by learning with reason and a mind clear of delusions.  And you must be your own teacher for this, explore alone, have your own curiosity guide you; do not ask others, do not follow others, but seek and find yourself.

Some of us will remain in the cave with fear of exploring and learning new things outside which can make us feel uncomfortable in our egotism.  Some of us will break the chains and explore out there, but when the sunlight of truth hits us we will run back inside the cave, back to our ignorance and comfortable beliefs and ideas with the rest of the slaves. 

 

jiddu-krishnamurti-quote-in-oneself-lies-the-whole-world

But the superior amongst us will grab that strong desire for moral and ethical growth, smash the chains, and INDIVIDUALLY run outside to learn all the factual knowledge and expand our minds, so enlightening ourselves until our last breath on this earth; because we realize that life is a chance to free ourselves, create our life, and walk ALONE into enlightenment. 

We are not satisfied with the gossip and stories about the passing shadows told by other chained people inside the cave, so we decide to live that cozy imprisonment to seek the truth and stand up for the superior human creature within us (for The Higher Self within).  And we do not do it to follow other groups in the search for truth and knowledge, but we do it, each one of us, INDIVIDUALLY, to explore the ability in us to perceive and think differently–i.e., a revolution of the mind.

Angels and Demons.

smart-quotes-55154-statusmind.com

Now, reason and conscience, the main sources of spiritual awakening and all godliness (human moral and ethics), seem to be obsolete in most people.  Angels, demons, possessions, curses, the wait for blessings from somewhere outside themselves, etc.–these toxins and others infest the minds of people, due to their vain and irrational egos filled by religions and societies and the influence of them.

And you do not even have to belong to a religion specifically to be infested by this, because it floats in the air like nuclear fallout–i.e., it is in books, it is online, it is passed on through family traditions and lifestyles, it is present in truly uneducated minds (minds who do not seek truth but to fill their desires of fantasy), it is on TV shows and movies, etc. etc.  No one thus actually respects the journey into awakening, but it all becomes a game between good and evil for these asleep people.

It is easy to blame something outside yourself, isn’t it…??  Then whatever happens, you distance yourself from it and you can escape responsibility.  But it is also foolish, stupid, irrational, because by running away from responsibility you are making it worse upon yourself to become conscious, awakened, and thus to grow as a person, morally, ethically, and in connection to your soul or to your Higher Self.

Life can be a roller coaster if you create gods and demons outside yourself, and the suffering you design because of this distance.  To live the best life, to make the best choices, you must embrace responsibility and step up, own whatever happens in your life, leave old traditions and personal beliefs aside. Use reason and conscience, expand your mind and see that you are good and evil, god and devil, your greatest accomplishment and your most extreme failure.

Own yourself and realize your own mind’s activity.

Brighten your thinking.

The aim of any true philosophical endeavor or intellectual pursuit must be the birth of reason and conscience in one’s mind, one must seek to resolve and harmonize one’s situation instead of overthinking and obsessing with it.  It seems alluring as a conditioned program to stay with the same thoughts over and over again, fixed on a past memory, reliving a situation, making oneself a victim and wallowing in the painful problem like pigs wallow in filth; however, this intellect creates its own hell out of pure egotism, it actually distances itself from reason and truth.

Why…??  Because the brain gets poisoned by this obsessive thinking, the nerves fry in time, our whole body weakens and we invite more suffering because of this.  The mind, anguished by the suffering brain, gets more confused, ego hides reason and truth as it grows, and obsession and overthinking distorts reality in our life.  This is not guiding you to light and to a solution, but this is just blinding you more and more as your mind gets anxious and frustrated with the problem or challenging situation.

The brain needs to be free from obsessing and trying to fix everything, allow time to breathe and focus on something else.  Rest your brain activity.  Thus the mind must become emptied of anxiety and stress, because to see reason and truth, to find solutions and guidance one must keep one’s mind in harmony and allow negative and dark vibrations to leave your awareness.  Filled with positive energy then, peace and order shall reach your mind and let some clarity to brighten your thinking.

The search for Knowledge.

To know oneself, at the deepest level, is simultaneously to know God or that Divine Force of Constant Creation; and this is the secret of gnosis (sacred knowledge/moral knowledge).  A wise gnostic teacher, Monoimus, says:  “Abandon the search for God and the creation and other matters of a similar sort.  Look for Him by taking yourself as the starting point.  Learn what it is within you which makes everything its own and says,  “My God, my mind, my thought, my soul, my body.”  Learn the sources of sorrow, joy, love, hate.  If you carefully investigate these matters you will find Him in yourself.”

So what is to find Him within yourself…??  And how do you actually do this…??

He is whatever expands your mind into pure love and harmony.  He is whatever divine process unites your intellect with your emotional body; because in this there is balance, in you, as a human creature destined to find your true self.  So to find Him within yourself is to find YOU without outer distractions and influences–without religions, without politics, without others manipulating you, without collective activities, etc. 

But how…??  Through a never-ending search for knowledge.  Expanding your mind in terms of your physiology, your psychology, your behavior as human, the history of the ancient cultures and peoples, anything which can help you, by actual application of these teachings by you, to be better in moral and ethics towards you and towards others.   The world is rich with books and knowledge, so develop your mind with it.

The search for knowledge must be your purpose, because knowledge expands your mind, because knowledge gives you the capacity to learn about the world around you, and because knowledge inspires you to be more in touch with reality towards a global conscience. 

A mind that is filled with rich and inspiring knowledge, factual and universal knowledge, is a mind that is confident, strong, poised, harmonious, moral and ethical; but, opposite to it, a mind that is stubborn, fixed in its strict beliefs and opinions, and empty when it comes to universal understanding, is a mind that is fearful, doubtful, attached and obsessed, and doomed to slavery within its own programming–i.e., not free.

Your very own Issues…

Many people dread and even find great distress and desperation in their own negative or dark thoughts and reactions.  Many people allow themselves to be consumed by the ideas they have of themselves, perhaps ideas and visions of the flaws and weaknesses they carry around.  This is the master illusion, that by “illusion” I do not mean “not real to you”; for whatever you believe and allow to obsess you becomes real to you, but ONLY it is real if you keep feeding it your belief through your constant thoughts of fear and preoccupation.

Carrying this with you all the time gets to be a burden and it becomes your identity, so you become a slave to your own flaws and weaknesses–i.e., to your dark illusion and the ego you constantly feed.  Maybe this victimization brings more fear to you and more weakness to you, and so you deplete yourself of positive ideas and better views of yourself and of your situations; and so, this is certainly not conducive to a stronger and more valued you, and slowly you fall into depression and moodiness.

If you are contented one moment, then sad the next, then angry, then joyous, then irritable, you are suffering from moodiness, or changeable moods–could be Bipolar Disorder, Chronic Anxiety, etc.  And all this, whether officially diagnosed or not, stems from lack of control of your own mind’s content, which we know as ego; therefore, what creates all issues and problems of mind, exacerbated by genetics and traumas and whatnot, is your own ego and its many aggregates.  The way you deal with your own ego and its aggregates is the way you will feel and experience your life.

But you cannot wash your hands like Pontius Pilate, and so take medicine and ignore your own mind, you must change your mental programming and fix your own issues, gain control of your own mind by inward attention and daily practice–i.e., you must create your health yourself, self-transformation.
