The Seashell.

Ever feel lonely and seek distractions out there, solutions to this nagging feeling…??  When the seeking is pointless, which you must see; for the seeking can only exacerbate the illness brooding in you, thus create more desire over and over again as it consumes your very soul–i.e., your sane rationality, your honest hopes, your vital dreams, your own affections…

 

“The seashell.”

I found a seashell in the fair sands
Gleaming under the warmest light;
In it I found the whisper I thought lost,
In it I discovered what I had tossed.

The seeking had been the dark abyss,
It had polluted my soul in darkness;
I had lost myself in the empty desire
Of a capricious nature–indeed so dire.
O how barren what I saw in the world!
Loneliness, frustration, anger held me;
For I truly observed my own reflection,
So I cried all the time without affection.
But O how blind and lost in the senses!
You were there all along, patiently waiting,
Gleaming under the very warmest light,
Blessed by Divinity–such glorious sight.

I finally stopped the search and contemplated
The many tears in me–the suffering, the misery;
Whatever held me hostage was my choosing,
I stubborn was in my desire–how confusing!
There was no end to the allure of the rabble,
Empty words of romance and promises broken;
Society had me as I desired what they had,
But I saw through the vain deceit–I am glad!
And it was the friendship with my very tears
The one which liberated my trapped soul;
And it was the seashell found under the sun,
Yes, listened I the whisper–O misery undone!

As the swans in the lake…

Ever seen a swan dance, so majestic and elegant, a celebration of their connection and harmony as their hearts beat side by side and their bodies follow the perfect rhythm of the purest and most innocent love…??  This love goes beyond thoughts, beyond desires and ambitions, it has no goals or outcomes but just celebrating life and the bliss of just being together–breathing together, dancing together, feeling together, elevating themselves by allowing love to guide each movement they make together, and just being there is considered the most precious gift…
index
Why can’t the human world do this…??  Why can’t each one of us wake up and see that love cannot be known by thought, because thought is against love and has created other less “precious” venues of false affection like romance which ends in time, like desires of the flesh which confuse, like the allure of money and power, like wars to “protect” the lifestyle and “freedom” of a nation, like mere words of affection which get taken by the winds of desire and time, and so on and so forth.  Is there any reason to not actually experience love…?? I mean, humans have a higher intelligence to be aware of true love, right…?? So, why do you bend true love to fit your selfish needs and your demanding desires…??
 
Why do you destroy love and the precious gift it brings you…??  Why do you willingly chain yourself to your ambitions, to your desires, to goals, to particular outcomes to be popular and to be seen by others…??  Men and women are guilty of this abomination, of course; but men most of all and specially, because men tend to be more in their heads, tend to see everything with the intellect, and like I said true love cannot be known by thought or intellect–no matter how mature and caring you think you are, love cannot be known and understood by your intellect.  Women, on the other hand, are more emotional, still confused by thought many times, but more connected to their emotional bodies.
osho-quotes-love-god
Woman is more divine when it comes to knowing love.  Ignorant and blasphemous men may infect women with their own visions of “love,” trick and control women into following their own pitiful thoughts on “love,” but woman left alone to feel freely may know true love in its innocent and creative nature.  Ever seen that when a woman truly falls in love she leaves everything and is intellectually blind, how she leaves in her emotions and gives her all for love….??  She becomes love, she leaves all thoughts of “can’t” and “impossible” because she only feels love–the essence of it, the very heart of it.  She only dances like the swan in the lake…

Perfect mirror…

everything-in-your-life-every-experience-every-relationship-is-a-mirror-of-the-mental-pattern-that-quote-1
Life is you, and you are life.  There is no other experience to you but yours, and that is how you live the best life–by following your own experience.  Sadly, there are people out there who live guided by the experience of others instead of by their own; and so, religion is born, politics is maintained by the ignorant rabble, and wars on nations are thriving due to idiots who follow their unwise masters.  And all this happening in the world is relationship, atrocious and misguided relationships with society; such stupidity going back and forth, seeking a “solution,” seeking “truth,” reaching for “justice” in the very depths of hell, so no one has a good relationship with oneself.  If you have a good, honest, truthful, loving relationship with yourself then you have all the love, understanding and happiness you need–i.e., you have found God and the eternal, you have found paradise and all source of strength.  Have you found all this in you yet…??  (Be honest with yourself).

If you have a good and loving relationship with yourself you do not need religion, and you do not need to sustain and argue about politics, and you do not need to support any wars, and you do not live eating meats and fats, and you do not live pleasing your family, and the rest of the nonsense people do.  So, I ask you again, have you found true love within yourself yet…??  Do you really have a good and honest relationship with yourself…??

quote-only-in-relationship-can-you-know-yourself-not-in-abstraction-and-certainly-not-in-isolation-the-jiddu-krishnamurti-346129
Relationship then is being human.  Why…??  Because being human, the reality of it, is behavior, not a thought or a feeling or an intention.  Only through relationship, through behavior you live experiences and know yourself; this is life, ongoing adventure, exploration, progress, shaping your character, learning how to treat yourself and others.  But if you are just living without learning, without actually improving and observing your own behaviors towards yourself and others, then what is the point…??  Just living without learning, without becoming better and progressing in character in relationship, is poverty, human poverty, poverty of mind, poverty of character (a weak woman, a weaker man); thus, the mirror is cracked and you only see yourself distorted, ugly and ignorant in the relationships you have in life–in your job, in your family, with your husband, with your wife, with your kids, with yourself, without love, without deeper understanding of what you go through, suffering over and over again and feeling depressed each time.

Look around you, whatever or whoever is nagging you, whatever or whoever is stressing you or making you suffer in any way, is the relationship you have with life and with people; and you have no one to blame but yourself, even though your ego will find excuses and put guilt on others.  You project into the world, into your situations, into people, what you are and how you treat yourself; for all life is, indeed, is a relationship–i.e., your divinity is in relationship with your humanity, and your humanity with the world you experience with your physical eyes…  So, focus on yourself and the most important relationship, and the rest will mirror it perfectly…

The simplicity of a raindrop.

mysteries-of-our-universe-2-638
Rap-Rap!– I cannot help but wonder what lies beyond what my physical eyes can see, what is there sleeping among cosmic dreams and stardust, what is that which immerses man in ancient mysteries and dead civilizations.  As I sit and ponder about life and my origins, the human faces seem so dim and the emotions so intense in my rushing mind, the alien worlds appear so distant yet so close to me; and I can really see entire galaxies in a raindrop, I can feel the calm and affection taking me over as I observe through my windowpane.  The shiny droplets emanate life, as I feel the incredible energy of the first unicellular organism appearing in the heart of an ancient water corpuscle, the energy of the baby being born and of the old man dying, and the energy of millions upon millions of stars incurring a beautiful beginning and reaching a terrible end.  The mysteries of life fill my mind thus like blood fills the many miraculous passages of my veins and arteries.  What does the water in a raindrop carry then if not life and all its mysteries…??

Rap-Rap!– O how many fools are there in this world of ours that confuse their minds with trivialities and nonsense?!  They seek to know and understand all the mysteries of life by empty knowledge and pleasure pursuits of their society.  They even search for answers to their problems from gods up in the sky and dead men.  They forget about the nature of the raindrop!  For it knows.  Nature knows because it carries all of time and space contained inside a so-called “insignificant” water droplet, such which travels from the vapors of the highest cloud down to my very windowpane with its Rap-Rap! sound.  This divine sound is the very harmony of the universe to my heavy-laden ears, and the illuminating peace of my soul connecting to it, freeing my mind from the overwhelming chaos of society and its burdens.

Rap-Rap!– The cloudy skies are in deep meditation and their soundless consciousness links to mine, it speaks to my heart in no-mind and vanishes all my nagging questions, it dispels my impatient intellect and brings the understanding of meditation upon me.  Yes, and I come back to myself!  To the one true me I had forgotten and buried under stress and thought-forms of joy and also of misery.  I connect with the cosmos as I observe this one raindrop sliding down my windowpane.  And I wonder what is it most people think about when they observe what I observe–if they ever do that is…  Do the Sun and the Moon ever speak about us and our impatience…??  Do they ever have doubts or become confused about their own origins and immerse themselves into questioning life…??  Or is it the very demon in man who thinks he is separated from nature and believes he is lost and alone and thus questions existence…??  Perhaps the relief from all questioning lies inside nature, indeed inside the simplicity of a raindrop.

Open your Eyes and lead.

Dont-Go-Where-the-Path-May-Lead

That which is not of service to your personal improvement must be allowed to go, especially if your ego feels comfortable doing it and it is keeping you distracted and distanced from maturity and higher conscience.  What is true love if not the understanding that you must come first…??  You desire to be able to truly love someone, you desire to find a job you love or develop love for your current job situation, you desire to feel healthier, you desire to feel more tolerance and compassion for others, etc. etc…??  It is an inside job, because all your experiences are you, because all the people with whom you interact daily are you, because all that which you think and feel is you.  So you start from you, you awaken to your own higher conscience, you realize that to find love and God in the world and inside yourself you must wake up and lead yourself into a better life. 

motivational-quotes-273
But your problem is that you cannot see it yet, because you think that the most important thing is to carry the burden of others, that it is to love and take care of others first.  You have been poisoned by stupid writings and ignorant people, you believe this to be spiritual when in reality is not–but it is just the game of feeling like the idiot martyr, like the nonsense story of the crucifixion of Jesus which you and most people do not truly understand.  This is how poor and pitiful your understanding of love is, and this is why the self-proclaimed “spiritual” people are not spiritual at all.

Love is the greatest essence, the most magnificent and creative force of all bliss; however, you must understand that true love must be built first to be experienced as a human being.  People who kill themselves, people who create wars, people who eat unhealthily and without discipline, people who deceive others–Why do you think they act this way…??  Because they haven’t built true love inside them.  They just go around spreading joy, or pain, to the world and taking care of others, or hurting others, while ignorantly thinking that this is divine, or even right to do, that this is doing the job of God or some bullshit their egos invent.  But they indeed lack the understanding of true love, for true love is something you build within yourself, you fill yourself with love and then your example, your love expands.

Would you take eating advice from a fat person…??  Would you take relationship advice from a couple who lives arguing and is intolerant to each other…??   Would you marry a person who desires to cut herself or kill herself because she hasn’t found true love inside her yet…??  If you would, then you are one of these people who do not understand what love truly is…  Do you want to really know what love is…??  Do you want to be filled with it blissfully…??  Work on yourself first then.  Not later.  Now…

The demon.

She did not see it before, but now when she was alone she felt some torpid dullness about her, a confused state of her mind, a wretched condition of her soul.  Her soul wanting to become truly free from her captor; for she had changed for him and was not herself anymore, she was destitute of intelligence and reason, distanced from herself and from her normal activities and studies.  She was not her beautiful and free self anymore, the demon held her captive and she knew it…

“The Demon.”

The thick chains which my mind cannot see,
As it fills itself with his deceptions and vices;
Alas, energy depleted, freedom is not to be.
Can I even feel the desperation as it rises…??
First an angel of love then a demon of pain,
Allured by the most lovely sound in his voice;
For I had fallen ill, felt empty, I was not sane,
Trapped beauty and freedom below the noise.
He was living in death and I was living in life.
O, our vital energies were opposing poles!
Alas, taken by desire to be this demon’s wife.
But then one must dare see not flesh but souls.

33057988_462912017475499_8928633513939304448_n

There is always an emptiness brooding inside the human being, perhaps a dullness of our daily activities, maybe a sort of death or decay of our wits and creativity, because life is felt like a roller coaster to us–i.e., nothing is always bliss, moods change, time passes, aging sets in, impatience swallows the mind, etc. And the heart is always seeking more, an awakening, a greater life change, a better opportunity, a renaissance of daily living; but the ignorance of the human mind is always demanding and controlling, it is impatient, it overwhelms your heart, it veils your soul from complete clarity and freedom.


You must see this fact beyond looking.  You must not allow negativity, wrong people, rushing into unknown activities, etc., to overtake you; but you have to see your life through the fogs of your own lazy and corrupted demons…  Because it is in fact this very seeing that which shall give you freedom beyond your normal looking…
839b7ea7d7c3401641f784a4dce296ad
Demons do not hide under your bed, or in the darkness of the night even; but they hide in the darkest corners of your own mind.  Be aware of this all the time, and you become resilient and confident, strong and faithful in every situation.  Thus you remain in control.

The Death of Life.

normancousins1-2x

In your daily activities, pursuits, personal thoughts, interactions, do you wonder what life really is…??  Life is more than living daily, isn’t it…??  People are born, expelled from the womb, entering this duality with one foot in the tomb already; consequently, they do not enjoy their lives plenty, they do not explore themselves and really live each second with full awareness, because they focus on the foot that lies in the tomb, they see themselves aging through the years they do not live.

Credit card debts piling up, anxiety about political nonsense, the foolish beliefs of religions clouding their minds, the pressure of getting married and following the path their families have set for them, parents birthing children without actually educating them but leaving that to the school system entirely, etc.–all this is allowed to infect the lives of people and they do not even see it.  This is the death of the spirit!

The greatest loss in life is that which you cannot see with your own two eyes, isn’t it….??  A Third Eye must be unleashed in life to actually see life for what it is.  The true beauty of art is not a painting.  The true attractive of a woman is not her looks.  The intelligence of a man is not his accomplishments in society.  The poetry of life is not written in books or made by great history.  Love is not found in dating or marriage or sex.  Bliss is not loads and loads of knowledge spiritual or otherwise.  This is IN life, but not life; and if this is seen as life then you are losing the very heart of it.

Life is the celebration of each moment you live, whether that moment is pleasant or not to your mind.  Life is beyond all your daily activities, relationships, pursuits, and intellectual understanding; and you must embrace life by deeply immersing yourself meditatively into it.  Do not squander your life by just living mechanically, but be expressive, grab opportunities big or small, make your voice heard, start your project now, see through aging and put all your energy into your moment.  Forget about loss in life, because if you focus on loss you will miss the riches of life and invite fear to soon bring you death. 

Yes, indeed, there is no greater wisdom then awakening yourself to life.

Can you not see that it is Now…??

Once, a king and a lazy man named Haria were very good friends.  One morning, the king said, “Why don’t you do work to earn some money?”  Haria said, “No one gives me job.  My enemies told everyone that I never do any work on time.”  At this, the king said, “You can go into my treasury and collect as much wealth as you can, till sunset.”  Haria rushed home then to tell this to his wife.  She then said, “Christ is certainly smiling upon us, husband!  Go and get the gold coins and gems now!!”  But he replied, “I see you are extremely happy but I cannot go now.  Give me lunch first.”…

So, after lunch, he took a nap for an hour.  Then in the late afternoon, he picked some bags and went to the palace.  On the way, he felt hot so he sat under a tree to rest.  Then, two hours later, he got up to go but saw a man showing some magic tricks.  He stopped to watch for an hour again.  When he reached the palace it was already time for sunset.  The palace gates had been shut.  So Haria had lost a golden chance because he had not learned the value of time.

Life is eternal because it exist only in the Now.  Whatever is past is gone, is never to come back, and a mere memory in your mind.  The future will never be, because it is just another construct of your mind.  Life then is enjoyed now, because the only reality is the Now, and the only progress is in the Now.  A plan to do something later, an idea to see a possibility in your mind, an intention to act when things get better in a future–these are all schemes and games of your overthinking ego, of your conditioned mind, of your lazy psychology, and illusions which do not carry reality.

Acting in the Now, enjoying yourself in the Now, expanding your love and commitment in the Now–this is all creativity and reality, this is the real you behind all the fears and insecurities…  The freedom to be yourself and to move your life forward step by step is Now.  Hesitation in living is not based on love, is it…??…
1573efba67e8c1aa6b2902eb3a30d70d
Step by step, enjoying and doing things now without postponing you then create your better life; always moving forward, slowly but surely, with presence and focused on the moment you are living.

God, The Devil, and your mind’s content.

Is the content of your mind always your choice…??  If you are not self-aware, can the content of your mind drive you to sheer insanity…??
God and The Devil exist, blissful Heaven and scorching Hell are at your doors, just waiting to possess you, ever stalking you without sleep; furthermore, they are designed by the powers of your mind, because your mind, whether you like it or not, consciously or subconsciously, is always absorbing data from your environment.  Your conscious state, your dream state, your memory state, your instinctual state, your intuitive state; these are all influenced by your environment, not only by what you choose to read or watch.

You are walking through a field with death bodies, horrors of war, blood all over, children hurt and crying under a cloudy sky; however, you cannot choose to block this out, you will experience sadness, anger, desperation in your mind, it will possess you, no matter your Enlightenment.  You are human, and this is very human; this terrible experience surfaces the Devil in you, your darkness, your misery as a human…  You are walking in a beautiful and vast ground, smelling the blooming flowers and fragrant grasses under the bluest and most magical sky; so, your mind will absorb this, you will leave your stress for a moment.  This is human and godly, and it reaches out for your divinity within, God and its bliss.


32105480_459114047855296_8765189783325507584_n
The point is that people tend to battle how they feel and what appears in their minds all the time, they deny either God or The Devil, thoughts of sadness or joy, bad or good thoughts.  Many times you cannot choose your environment, and your mind is already by nature made to absorb all your surroundings; but do not fight what enters your mind, this is pointless, it is trying to become, it is poison to yourself.  Instead allow your thoughts and feelings to flow without your resistance, choose what to follow, what to project and assimilate; but know and understand that your mind’s content is most of the time beyond your choosing, for you do not know what is going to happen around you all the time… 
So, be self-aware of the thoughts you follow, because this is what you will become, and you want to be alert, aware, sane; but allow your mind to be natural and absorb your environment as it is, do not punish yourself over what you see and hear…

As long as you breathe…

How can anything be over as long as there is life…??  What creates and guides your life is choices, whether you are aware of your choices or not.  Why would you give up or give in if you can make choices, whether small or big choices…??  Choices must be meditated and analyzed in order for you to see your life move in the right direction.
31963839_457968577969843_3443499963827355648_n
Once you see a challenge, a tragedy, a great loss which cripples you and forces you to deviate from your path, even in smaller things happening in your life, you might feel defeated, broken, depressed, and even begin to believe that all you have done until now has been for naught.  But why would you do that to yourself…??  You must look at life as the beautiful field where you come to learn, and it is why you must at some point encounter great tragedies and gargantuan problems which shall shake you violently; for you need pain and suffering to elevate yourself above it, and for that same matter to discover your bliss and create your heaven you have to learn to embrace pain and dwell in hell for a period.  Who are you to be above all pain and suffering…??  You are human, are you not….??

Whatever age, whatever situation, there is purpose, there is much coming for you; however, the secret of life is not to question or seek that purpose, for this shall bring you mental insanity, frustration, self-destruction.  The secret is to remain mentally on a good path but not to attach yourself to it, so when storms come–and they will come–and they deviate you, even pound you and cripple you for a while, you get back up and create yourself another good path.

In a World
