The Path…??

Okay, guys.  This is the piece on which I am currently working.  Not too sure of the title yet, as I am still working on finishing touches here and there to convey a deeper message.  I woke up to surrealistic paintings; something which makes you think and stirs your emotions at the same time, depth and substance. 

This will be one of the paintings I will be offering with their prints on my new website, here, soon.

Can you tell me what it means to you…??

Alien.

544223-233859-quotes-about-being-individual
You are here to be an individual, to be you, to love you and care for you; after that love is self-discovered and you are happy with yourself, strong, confident, able to love being alone with yourself, then that love can expand outwardly and you can properly care for others.  But first you must be your truest and most faithful friend, when situations are easy and when they are not, always there for yourself.  Can you truly see the value in this…??

Now, most people in the world seek to be an individual, seek for love and happiness out there; they cannot bear to be alone, they hate themselves if they are alone for a long time, they do not know love because they seek it out there like the rest.  So, in this empty game they play they find themselves alone and confused, following the ignorant crowd, they cannot reach intelligence because their minds are in agitation, always worried and stressed about relationships and being liked by others.  Their attention falls into the world of form, thus their energy is misused by trying to compete and be liked by their potential partners, their bosses, their family, their friends, etc.  They wear masks to compete and become attractive to others, they are never themselves because being themselves means to be emotionally exposed (which means taking off their masks), and so they are never truly free; but they are strangers to themselves and never loved, never happy.  So if they are alone they have designed this concept of a broken heart.

A “broken heart”…??  Or a broken ego…??  They seek and lean on the world to find love and happiness when they have forgotten where love and happiness really lie; so their minds, their egos, become attached and obsessed, corrupted by society and the influence they get from it.  They never find themselves, because they seek in relationships, in churches, in governments, in the media–they seek in these places to find a meaning to their empty lives, to find something which can give them some kind of activity to maybe find love and happiness there.  But do they find it…??  No, the roller coaster continues and they are always pining, angry, frustrated, confused; and this monotonous and egoistical activity brings them shame, feelings of worthlessness, so-called “broken hearts,” and the rest of the nonsense in which they choose to dwell. 
But this is pointless, isn’t it…??  Because love and happiness must be self-discovered, unique of themselves.  Who cares about competing?!  One must create his own life, inside, not outside.  One must never be a stranger to oneself; because if there is indeed a sin, that is it.

Truth.

Buddha-Truth-Quotes
There are two sides of being human, aren’t they…??  There is Yin and Yang.  There is dark and light.  There is your opinion and that of others, and plain truth.  There is fear and its machinations, and there is pure love which only obeys to truth and facts.  Now, one thing to understand is that the only reason the world is in turmoil, in chaos, violent, fearful, and the rest, is because people live in the dream.  And what is the dream…??  The dream is the state of their minds, it is like a veil which covers their eyes in such a way in which they cannot see the truth, they cannot see for themselves, so they feel the need to follow others and claim to know the truth by popularity.
Since billions of people believe in this, society does this, books all teach this, the media says this, everybody eats this, then I will join in and follow, thus claim this truth for myself and choose to be free.  Choose to be free…??  So, what is freedom…??  Is it something you choose…??  Choice is of the mind, of the ego, isn’t it…??  Because freedom is truth, like the Sun’s rays give energy day and night and keep all life living and growing–i.e., the Sun’s rays are free and real whether you believe in them or not.  See, it is not about right or wrong, but about truth.  Being right or wrong are concepts society teaches and conditioned in the mind of the human being; however, this is an illusion, only truth exists–i.e., the eternal, pure love, facts which can enlighten someone’s life.
When someone leads his life by truth, not by right or wrong, then that someone is Enlightened, a Buddha, a Christ, truly free to choose health, to choose the right partner, to choose the right philosophies, etc. etc.  This is freedom.  So freedom is not a condition of your mind, like true love is not a condition of your mind, like truth is not a condition of your mind–i.e., your mind only knows duality, light and dark, right or wrong, agree or disagree.  Stepping out of your mind then there is a place, which is not biased or conditioned, which is not a program or a memory; and this place is where one can know freedom, and where there is no ego.  This is why freedom and truth and pure love cannot be accessed by your mind, because they go beyond mind, they go beyond duality and its machinations.
When you live every day, in every aspect of your life, based on this truth you are free, and when you are free you are Enlightened, truly Awakened.  Enlightenment is to see!  Enlightenment is seeing the truth and becoming the truth–in the way you think daily, in the way you eat, in the way you behave, you are able to be love and rise ever in love–i.e., you understand daily the difference between love and desire, and between intellect and intelligence, and between imagination and truth.

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.

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…

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…

Wanderer, find your place.

You must understand that your mind as it is right now, stubborn, filled of lazy and comfortable thinking, attached to people and things, lacking in conscience of truth, is your own prison, your own source of frustration, your own hell.  The fact that you have financial difficulties, relationship problems, problems with the law, neglect by people, an unhealthy lifestyle–these are nothing compared to your mind, and these are even worsened by you mind.  And your mind is the content of your everyday interaction with society–its influence on foods, on clothing, on beliefs, on “truth,” on “love,” on sex, on happiness, on creativity, on freedom. 
quote-it-is-very-easy-to-conform-to-what-your-society-or-your-parents-and-teachers-tell-you-jiddu-krishnamurti-75-94-55
Nothing is unique, but everything is taught by others–i.e., given to you consciously or subconsciously.  To acquire a conscience you must walk away from all this influence.  You must eat what is better for your health, not for your ego.  You must love without expecting and without fear, always remaining opened emotionally and without following a set pattern on what society says love is.  You must stop before you react emotionally, be patient, really inquire and meditate on what you are about to say and do.  You must accept that all sentient beings’ life is in their emotional bodies, not on how they look and not on their intellect; so, a pig, a cow, a dog, a Muslim, a Christian, you, me, is all the same life–all feel neglect, all feel lonely, all feel hated, all feel pain, all feel happiness, all feel love.  And you must understand that freedom is not measured or created by your environment or by your rights in the constitution, or by your culture or government, or by any other scheme outside of you or even any scheme created by your own thinking.
Remember an untamed mind is your prison, always will be.  It is designed to be that way, so you can go beyond mind and discover what freedom really is.  Don’t seek it in society.  Don’t seek it in people.  Don’t ask over and over again where to seek it.  You know where it is!  Leave all of society and its influence and you shall be illumined to heights you do not even understand right now.
Once your body and mind become stronger and healthier and you follow only truth within yourself far beyond your ego’s schemes, then you will wander like a lonely beggar no more and you will really understand all that I write to you here.
quotes-about-masks-3937496-tumblr-quotes-about-masks
You tend to seek out there, wander in the world and follow society and all their structures without questioning and without knowing the truth–you wear what they wear, you eat what they eat, for you love is whatever others believe love is, you want to be rich and popular like others, etc.   This ignorant activity creates masks, and below you hide your demons–your anger, your frustration, your jealousy, you lack of love, etc.  You must take care of your own demons instead of following society and focusing on being like them.

Free to choose…??

Does the unawakened man who enjoys everything society offers–i.e., meats, travels, luxurious houses and cars, higher positions to make more money, and the rest–has really free choice, or is it just really an illusion of the ego of every man and woman out there…??  The popular lifestyles and material things society puts in front of us, in the nice advertisements, with the talented artists on TV, in the attractive magazines selling dreams of better lives–these are all ways of controlling you without making you aware of it, they appeal to your lazy and corruptible ego, they speak to your already programed subconscious.  All this is politics, foolish games of control on the rabble; because if you follow society you are not healthy and you do not own your thinking and behaving–and now you are easily controllable.
d35ad3acae56d7c8bf6b613455cbda6d
Have you noticed that no ad ever tells you what is healthier for your mind and body–they just put taste in front of you.  The hospital industry does the same to keep you coming back–they do not tell you to stop eating meat, they do not tell you to exercise, they do not tell you to meditate and spend time taking care of your mind.  And people travel all the time as long as they don’t have to face themselves–alone, with their own demons.  Etc.  Until one sees this and more of the falseness in society, makes the right and better choice, leads his health and overall life forward, one remains without free choice because the ego–this thick veil governs him or her, and thus freedom is gone.

Who tells you that you are free to choose…??  Isn’t your mind, your ego, telling you that you are free to choose…??  The ego is this thick veil or screen that is fed by society and the whole world around you, influenced by it, programed by it–so it will tell you whatever keeps the comfort and the status quo unharmed; it will not tell you what is better for you but it will always find excuses of why you should stay without change, stay following your old lifestyle and your own mental conditioning.  Why can’t you see this…??  Or perhaps you see it but you play the fool anyway…??  Are you free then…?? 

You ought to know that only a free mind can actually know the essence of freedom, love, God and peace.  Why…??  Because when your mind’s content is what others tell you, what society gives you, what is not illumination to the very conscience, then you have blocked yourself from the deep and wise understanding; for you are corrupting yourself and living in the dream…  And there is no free choice, there is no freedom in the dream…
37243170_503385616761472_7616290824829009920_n
The illusion of free choice is that your mind is allowed to retain all this influence and impressions from society, your ego accepts this as the norm because most ignorant people out there do it as well without an individual thought of their own, and as a consequence you become prideful, you make choices based on selfishness and hate, and you have no individual conscience–i.e., no wisdom but you follow others and the way they do things. This deceives you into thinking you know love, God, freedom, peace and harmony; but you actually live in your own selfish world blinded by the corrupted content of your own lazy mind.

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…
cog in the machine

Spiritual roles.

maat

Maat, in ancient Egypt, the personification of truth, justice, order, morality, and the cosmic order.  The daughter of the sun god Re, she was associated with Thoth, god of wisdom.  Maat was also the goddess who personified these concepts, and regulated the stars, seasons, and the actions of mortals and the deities who had brought order from chaos at the moment of creation, thus bringing the union of true love and harmony in the individual.

37305824_504261900007177_268892023908466688_n

Woman is a healer, bringer of harmony, she brings out the best in man without degrading herself into a lower being; she must be patient and blossoming in her heart, to thus be the best and also bring out the best to herself and to any relationship she accepts into her life.  And man is the protector, must have a clear and harmonious mind to higher thought, and so refrain himself from selfish desires and all sorts of corruption of mind and body.  They both, man and woman, help each other and rise in the fruits of love without solely indulging in the superficial affections which tend to bring jealousy, violence, anger, and the rest which separates people and creates an abyss of darkness and disgust in the heart, into any soul sacredness. 
This must be the ideal, and for this the mind must be rid of fear–i.e., where there is fear there is room for a corrupted “love.”  And the problem is that many women are not accessing their higher calling as nurturers and healers, but they are using their bodies solely to attract men and find a quick path to some false security.  While men are stuck in their lowest instincts, trapping women into their false affections, but in time robbing them of their highest calling, deviating them.  Both seem to be at each other’s throats like enemies at some point; when it all starts passionately and with great desire to make the union work,  like children with their new toy that soon become bored and toss the toy aside to never enjoy it anymore.  Why is this…??  Why can’t man and woman really embrace love and become it–true love which never dies…??  Do they know their roles…??  Do they grow together as one….??  Do they work on lifting each other up, or do they compete…?? 
These are serious questions, because relationship is not love, but relationship is human, society, your design; so, if anybody is to build a relationship which works, if man and woman is to unite in harmony, their whole lives, they must know their roles.  Healer and protector, partners who help each other, two human beings which must be one–because lack of affection and all the ugliness may only exist in a relationship if there is competition…  Knowing their roles then creates and keeps the atmosphere of love, so the eternal essence may bathe them both through all the challenges they might encounter…
twin-fllame
If you want to keep the love flowing, alive, burning constantly, deep and mature, make every day an adventure–prioritize adventure. The human mind gets bored and lazy with routines in relationships and in life in general, so bring a challenge to your mind, behave consciously, assume your role as woman or man of deep emotional understanding. This has to become more important than routine, otherwise affection will wither in time.
