Demon and angel.

Demon and angel.
My demons overpowered me!  I felt as if I were taken by this strange rage, almost inhuman, lust for greed and revenge, such an emotional state I had never experienced before.  I felt lost, my hands trembled, my heart would try to escape my chest with extreme violence, my mind was a tornado of chaos and agitation where every logic had vanished and all freedom was reduced to a subtle and very weak voice…
Demon and angel.
I was not me!  Who was I…?!  And yet there was also an angel in me trying to soothe me, telling me something I couldn’t hear in the midst of the storm, and I felt this angel was part of who I was.  My two masks.  Fighting to be heard and possess me fully.  Two halves of me trying to surface from the very depths of my consciousness…  My two masks.  Frustration, anger, lust, greed, hate, envy.  My demons overpowered me!  They seem to know my weaknesses, as my own ego wallows and grows, fed by them, nurtured by them.  It happens when you ignore yourself for so long that you start to believe you are weak and chained to being this grotesque demon, this wretched soul…
Demon and angel.
As I went outside and screamed, I cursed the cloudy skies and this damned mask overwhelming me and my ideas, condemning my soul and sealing my fate.  Who was I…?!  And yet, this beautiful voice kept whispering between my angry and chaotic thoughts.  I fell on my knees trembling and crying, exhausted and feeling my head ready to explode; too much thinking and questioning, too much stupid fighting and pointless hating.  And the whisper came to me, and it brought a light I had never experienced before, and my conscience became aware of my own faults; for she was there, the angel in me calming the beast… 
Demon and angel.
And then, illumination came, I realized that my two masks, the demon and the angel, were just inventions of my sheer ignorance, of my vain ego; and that in choosing one or the other I am not whole anymore and great suffering takes me hostage..  My two masks…


When you choose one or the other, you are negating one and welcoming the other; furthermore, it is your vain ego which chooses based on what it is expected, on what others have said, on a selfish desire.  To be whole is to accept yourself as you are entirely, use all your energies to build the new, which is being an individual and creating yourself.

The flame surrounded by darkness.

You must be able to see beyond agreement or disagreement in what I write.  You must be able to see art and truth beyond drawings, words, or beautifully embellished speeches.  When you see a flower, you tell yourself that it is beautiful or not; thus your thought pops up and beautifies or dirties that flower.  You are no longer seeing the flower but you are seeing the image thought has built in your mind; and when this happens there can be no insight.
Drop the mind, so insight appears in conscious view….
397ff11df460d6b65f1c32502f183dd5
And what do you think insight is…??  Insight is emptiness.  Insight is direct knowing.  Insight is not concentration.  Insight is absolute intuition power.  Insight is the emptiness between two thoughts; and when thoughts never stop coming up, as usually happens with the mind, insight is lost and buried under thoughts.  Thoughts are objects I can transfer into your mind through my words, but insight is divine and non-transferable.  An individual experience…  Can you see this without agreeing or disagreeing with me, or without having thought study what you read here…??–if you can, then you see it!  Therefore, it is a divine insight rising from the depths of you.

Insight is not any effort, because the conscious mind is effort and insight comes from deeper.  When you read and make an effort to understand, when you see a work of art and study carefully its meaning hidden to you, when you are in a relationship which brings some level of inquiry and confusion into your mind, there is no insight; however good or bad to you, there is no insight there.  And whatever in not insight is a fabrication of society, of our traditions, of our egos, of our beliefs; thus, useful to understand, but tied to a mechanical process like math or any other subject of knowledge, step by step you study and understand, and so step by step you see the light…

But insight is like a flame, deep buried, innocent, creative, beautiful, powerful like a thousand Suns.  It is buried deep under all that knowledge you have acquired through years and years; and it is buried and surrounded by you darkness, such darkness you fear to look into and where love and happiness dwells…  So divine and eternal love and true happiness are insights, not thoughts or feelings; they are your divinity living in buried emptiness, not your humanity wallowing in mental objects/thoughts…

“Enlightened leadership is spiritual if we understand spirituality not as some kind of religious dogma or ideology but as the domain of awareness where we experience values like truth, goodness, beauty, love and compassion, and also intuition, creativity, insight and focused attention.”  ~ Deepak Chopra

Cave of fear!

No one had ever returned from there!  The townsfolk lived in terror that one day the monster would leave the cave, so they regularly left gifts and food at the mouth of the cave, and these always soon disappeared.
31870311_456731461426888_3666857642111795200_n
One day, a young man came to town, and, fearlessly, he went inside, finding his way with a torch.  At first, the monster had a good, long laugh, then went quiet.  Finally he arrived at a huge cavern, so as he approached it he felt that something had hit him hard on his back!  This pushed him into a hole in the rock; and so, he couldn’t avoid it and fell through.  “Darn it, I think the monster has swallowed me,” he said anxiously in his mind while falling.  But as he fell, he heard music and voices.  They got clearer…  And clearer…  And when he made a soft landing at the bottom, he heard, “Surprise!!”

Hardly believing it, he found himself right in the middle of a big party.  The party-goers were all those people who had never returned to the town.  They explained to him that this place had been the idea of an old mayor of the town:  That mayor had tried to accomplish great things, but was always held back by the fears of the people around him; so the mayor had invented the story of the monster to demonstrate to people how such an attitude was so limiting.  So the young man stayed there, enjoying the party and the company of all those who had dared to approach the cave...


So it goes without saying now, if you penetrate into the dark cave of your own mind and dwell meditatively and patiently there, befriend any fears living there, you will transmute fear into love, attitude of defeat into attitude of confidence and passion for your personal goals and your life in general.

“Fear is the main source of superstition, and the main source of cruelty.  To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.” ~ Bertrand Russell; British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, writer, social critic, political activist, and Nobel laureate.

The power game in relationships.

Power is politics, isn’t it…??  Power carries a selfish end, doesn’t it…??  Can power then be related or go with true love…??
Politics is the group of activities associated with the ruling or governing of something, of a country, of groups of people, of a person; and especially the debate or conflict among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power.  Love, true love, is free, which means it does not demand, rule, or desire to control; but love exists simply for the sake of existing as a divine connection, no other motives or purposes.  Power is politics and the opposite of love– Can you see this for yourself…??
31369485_454050161695018_57630532602691584_n
Why do you desire money…??  It will bring power.  Why do you want to rule a country…??  It will bring power.  Why do you want respectability and prestige…??  It will bring power.  People search for power, consciously or subconsciously, in different ways…  For thousands of years, the ignorant society of men in which we live has created ways for men to be powerful–i.e., in schooling, jobs, patriarchy in the family, religion and its stupid systems, etc. etc.  Women have been left with only one outlet, namely their bodies, their physical beauty; thus, we have prostitution and all pornography popular…  But slowly more opportunities are now being given for women to be powerful, to get out of the old bondage; fighting men to get university degrees, claiming her place in the home, voting, authoring and leading, etc. etc.

But the truth is, power is politics, and power only brings misery, contention, competition, inferiority and superiority, and the rest of the nonsense.  And in relationships the struggle for power only brings suffering and confusion, it has nothing to do with love and everything to do with fear–i.e., Who is better??  Who is right??  Who does more in the relationship??  Who gets his or her way more??…  This is an ugly state.  This should not be so.  And if love is to exist then this must change; for love cannot be reduced to power politics, thus you are killing love…

Life is relationship, and relationship is love; this means life is only happily experienced through relationship, and the only true relationship is based on love, not attachment or fear of any kind.  So, take politics out of love, because a relationship will slowly die if you bring politics into it; and, if all the relationships you have die, then your happy experience of life will die as well…  Perhaps you can’t see this right now, but it is the way humanity works, the way deeper into things that most people take for granted…

Where is freedom…??

What is the true revolution which actually changes the individual…?? Why is freedom a personal revelation, an inward revolution…??
The world, each group, every individual wears a mask and puts on a show of brutality or kindness, in this way we all desire to be truly free; because whether man consciously knows it or not, freedom is true love, true happiness, and we seek it in different ways.  So humanity seeks love and happiness, they seek it through what they call rebellion or revolution, which in their sheer ignorance means defending the country through wars, through more variety in foods by killing and exploiting animals, through physiological and psychological highs with drugs of various types, through sex with different people, etc. etc.
31288241_453324871767547_6564788813934100480_n
They do this over and over again, they have been doing it for thousands of years and they haven’t learned yet; for they seek freedom outwardly through activities of the ego…  But can the ego really give you love, happiness, freedom…??

No.  It is an illusion of the senses.  Freedom is an inward trait, an inward revolution, thus it is us without an ego-centered activity.  Freedom is not putting on the show.  Freedom is being you, embracing your flaws, discovering your unique talents, expressing your feelings and thoughts.  Freedom is meditating on yourself daily, and not allowing others to pressure you into going to war, into hating, into eating the same the masses eat, into having the same fun the rabble has.  For how can anyone really be free if you try to be liked by others, follow others, and reject your true self….??  Hell, this is sheer madness!

To free the world, to allow love into the world, to bring happiness into the world, first you allow yourself to experience this by having an inner revolution; and because you are the world, your consciousness brings this energy of freedom, of truth, into the world you see–i.e., it is a connectivity, a divine and wonderful link which unites our consciousness with the collective consciousness.

“To live is to find out for yourself what is true, and you can do this only when there is freedom, when there is continuous revolution inwardly, within yourself.”  ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti.

Freedom, Society, and Sex.

Sex has always been considered sin, taboo, prohibited, specially introduced like this in the human subconscious by all religions.  Why…??  Because this fear/this considered sin makes the mind weak and susceptible to all the schemes from religion, from society.

Society has brought it down to a sinful act, as described in The Bible:  Adam was tempted by Eve, he ate the delicious fruit of the tree of knowledge/sex and now he is in sin.  Before the tree, he was wonderfully innocent in his nakedness, no lust whatsoever for naked Eve, he knew love without “sin;” but now that he ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge he has knowledge of sex, of his nakedness, of Eve’s nakedness, so he must leave the state of divine Enlightenment/The Garden of Eden.  But the animal in man is natural, divine, nothing wrong with it; however, the sex act is not love, it is superficial and it cannot free you.

Freedom, love, truth, higher knowledge, transcends time and space, goes beyond the knowledge of sex and the fear religion and overall society have introduced in us.  Only by transcending the sexual act one can become truly free–i.e., free of “sin,” free of concepts and beliefs from a tyrannical religion, and so enter, or come back to, divine Enlightenment, which is that beautiful state of egolessness and timelessness where all fear and thought has disappeared.

The mask you wear…

“Can you see beyond your own ego…??”

Yamaoka Tesshu, as a young student of Zen, visited one Master after another.  He called upon Dokuon of Shokoku.  Desiring to show his attainment to the Master, he said, “The mind, Buddha, and sentient beings, after all, do not exist.  The true nature of phenomena is emptiness.  There is no realization, no delusion, no sage, no mediocrity.  There is no giving and nothing to be received.”
Master Dokuon, who was smoking quietly, said nothing…  Suddenly, he whacked Yamaoka with his bamboo pipe!!  This, of course, made the youth quite angry.  “If nothing exists,” inquired Master Zen Dokuon, “where did your anger come from..??”

31044835_451652765268091_1967109139125501952_n

Like this, your own ego does not allow you to see how wrong you can be, how angry you can be, how stubborn you can be, and how unawakened you can be.  You are your ego, which means your ego is all what you think and feel, which means that you only see the content of your mind/of your ego.  It is easy for you, of course, to see the flaws and wrongness in another; because you are distanced from another’s ego and can see with a fresh perspective in this.


It is extremely important to distance yourself from your own ego/from your own thoughts and beliefs, empty your mind for a while, meditate on emptiness daily, to see with a fresh perspective your own faults and your own stubbornness.  In order for you to grow, in order for you to rise above your own mediocrity, you must distance yourself from your own mechanical thinking/from your own ego and reach for deeper insights beyond, to free yourself and see reality as it really is.eGO
“I have never seen a greater monster or miracle than myself.” ~Michel de Montaigne; French Renaissance philosopher and essayist.

The capacity to be ALONE.


Why is it that for most people being alone is so difficult…??  Do you realize that when it comes to love and happiness, inward manifestations, they can only be known by one who knows how to be alone…??

31206238_452512935182074_619718125310443520_n
The undisciplined mind is always chatting and seeking entertainment and the company of other minds, seeking noise and distraction from the inner self; therefore, the egoistical mind hates to be alone, it despises meditation and depth, so it can never realize inward truths like love and happiness…  So what does it find out there…??

Out there, it finds attachment and pleasure.  The superficial mind loves attachment and pleasure because it distracts from the truth that the individual is not whole, the individual is lost and does not feel whole; so, the individual must seek for another person, another relationship, another buy, another trip, to feel whole…  Thus the illusion continues…  The illusion which says that the person knows love and happiness, but in reality the person only knows schemes in time and space, namely attachment and pleasure…  Isn’t this sheer madness, to live your whole life enslaved to this egoistical mirage and never actually experience true love and happiness…??

Love, same as happiness, is the foundation of what we are.  So how can it be found out there with all the noise and confusion…?? …  No.  Only the one who knows how to be alone knows it, because love is meditation, as life is meditation; and meditation only happens inwardly, when you accept and befriend your own silence, like the Sun finds its own energy and heat inwardly to bathe all of us and create life outwardly.

Have you seen the child in man…??

quote-it-is-you-men-who-make-war-we-who-have-children-would-never-make-it-why-should-a-woman-phyllis-bottome-116-59-18


Have you seen the child in man…??  He likes to feel always strong and powerful, serious and deep in thought, always trying to fix everything, always desiring to compete with others and display his own wit; but, at the same time, he is a major mamma’s boy, a cry baby who’s deeply broken, he plays endlessly, he acts rudely and carelessly, he gets lost in the crowd of the other men who lost their inner child, he makes women cry with his false childish behaviors, he seeks understanding but he hides his emotions from women.  He seeks Enlightenment and love, but he does not accept his darkness and does not understand love.


Have you seen the child in man…??  I have lost it and life needs this great innocence, this powerful path to be.  The artist behind the brute.  The art behind the blemishes.  He shows his art but his emotions are not there.  He lacks something.  He lacks life…  Good women try to teach him, reach his emotions, smack sense into him, plug into his heart, but the beautiful child who plays endlessly and tries to seize true love, true creativity in play, is gone.  Have you seen him…??


When the stars shine.  Yes.  When the stars shine and the music is slow and sweet he runs away, hides under his own roughness, under his own selfish and ignorant wit.  So what is this man if not a coward…??…  As in pottery, he is clay to be molded and shaped into a great man; such man who understands that life is love and that love is life, and that opening your emotions is reaching life and allowing love to flow… to expand…  His very soul was entered through divine breath by the male-feminine Creator to evolve the first human of three fourth water and rest of the earth elements, but as he developed somehow the child in him was lost…  So, have you seen the child in man…??

What Am I…??

Love is the human name which we give to what fills every atom in our bodies, and this divine energy of Creation resides beyond time and space, which is beyond every thought and feeling since these are of this named time and space. True love then is only known to us through a deeper connection, a powerful sense throughout our bodies.
johnlennon1
But beware of thoughts and feelings which talk of intense attraction and which create attachment, for this is not love but a form of expression which is stimulated by the physical senses.  This form of intense attraction is indeed attachment, and attachment is not freedom; but attachment is tied to a strong desire you have, to the desire of others, it finds identity in others, it makes you lost without others…  So, ponder deeply what love really is…

“What Am I…??”

Yes, as it be, my world has no bind,
I am from a place which is no place,
I am from a time which is no time,
Yes, I exist far beyond this space.
I came here to meet all and love all,
I stepped through the portal of flesh;
You and I freely flow towards the call,
Beyond idle chatter you and I mesh.

I am absolute freedom and I am you,
I do own all and I do not own things;
I am that which you see in the sky blue,
I am that which true happiness brings.
My very consciousness is most pure;
Enlightenment is my true level of Being.
Of society’s mental illness I am the cure;
You find me in you if you’re truly seeing.
