What is driving you…??

There has to be an engine which drives you in life, in order for you to accept challenges and create great beauty in your path or in order to fail and self-pity your attempts over and over again; furthermore, this inner strength or drive must be based on something real, something everlasting and strong, something which is not made from a thought or concept. Reality. Namely love, not fear.

Character is the moral and ethical values which drive your life, what certainly creates you from within; and without this higher character you cannot build a successful and truly happy life. Happiness is not an outcome of any exterior success or achievement, as most people believe in ignorance, but it is the ever flowing substance that you are and which can only be embraced and experienced if you carry your mental and physical body with high morals/with excellent character.

Character offers you mental freedom and peace to be yourself and fill this same mind with truth and love/a higher understanding.

On the other hand, reputation is what the ego pushes on you–i.e., a better pay, a better person compared to others, a more successful career, a man or woman of nicer words, etc. etc. Reputation is beliefs and opinions others have about you, and this cannot bring you true happiness because this reputation does not allow you to be unique, independent, free of the demands and opinions of others.

Reputation, even though society sees it differently, is based on fear, it is attachment to others fearing that they do not approve of you. When you pursue reputation, your mind is not at peace but it is agitated and struggling to make others like you.

But to be yourself and base your life and your actions on love and truth is to express your heart, it is to learn to free yourself from the expectation of others so you can be mentally free and able to see your own path clearly. So, ponder this: What is it that is driving you really in your life today…?? Is it what others might think of you…?? Or is it your unique character to express yourself freely…?? (Be honest with yourself.)

“Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we and others merely think of it; but the tree is the real thing.” ~ Abraham Lincoln; American statesman, lawyer, and 16th President of the United States.

Deeper roots…

From The One Source all beings, all nature was created; and this is why we are all related to each other, and this is why The One Source became many and relationships were born.

Humankind’s true heart is relationship then, a deeper connection than what we see, because we are all connected by an invisible thread we may call love; however, this love, the very essence of it, has nothing to do with superficial concepts humans have designed. No, this love is the deepest connection, which goes beyond sex, beyond dating, beyond a marriage, beyond any friendship.

For most of humanity, sadly, relationship is a give and take relation based on dependency, attachment, sometimes obsession and even harmful addiction. And many rush into these relationships because the man or woman looks physically attractive, or because there is great intellect, or a good economic stand, or good conversation; however, these traits, as alluring as they might be for you, are attached to time and space, which means flesh decay, the emotional roller coaster, and the various moods tied to different outer situations in life.

So, is this the essence of love or just something more superficial…??

Human love is a give and take–i.e., I love you if you care and love me back, I want a relationship if you look attractive enough and if you are intelligent enough, I will be with you if you are always nice to me and make me feel good, etc. Humans have created concepts like friendship love, romantic love, sexual love, and the rest. This human love has or comes with judging, jealousy, hatred, etc. This human love, even though people call it love, is really attachment–i.e., a superficial form of “love” the ego creates out of fear of being alone, fear of not being like the rest, fear of not keeping tradition, etc. etc.

But the essence of divine love is pure, does not ask for anything, it is a deeper connection–I love because I love, in the process of loving I find happiness, and I do not depend on anything or anybody to feel loved and happy.‘ This love essence is pure, ABSOLUTE freedom, not ties to moods, characters, ways of the flesh, emotional roller coasters, aging, economical issues, papers of marriage, and the rest of the petty human condition in relationships.

Without judging, I really think one must inquire into this because, even though we are all human beings and forming these relationships, if we are to really love ourselves and another, love all beings and the whole Earth, then a deeper realization should be awakened in us. In order to form really deep connections one must look beyond matter, beyond these petty and superficial facades, and embrace the truth of it all, the truth of our Great One Source.

“For most of us, relationship with another is based on dependence, either economic or psychological. This dependence creates fear, breeds in us possessiveness, results in friction, suspicion, frustration.” ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti.

“Evolving through time…”

Time is tied to change, to development, to growth; thus, time is indeed all that, time is all it takes for matter to create memories, experiences, guides to nurture our brains and its wiring. And physical evolution indeed happens through time, it is time; therefore, all which occurs in the physical sphere is a pattern or consequence of time and the activity human beings engage, knowingly or unknowingly.

The human brain is a bundle of memories, electrical and chemical wire conduits which mold experiences to better help us engage in the world, and it is the source of learning when added to the passion of our hearts; because whenever the intellect, the brain tries to learn something but there is no passion from the heart, then that same brain does not deeply learn but forgets soon enough.

Remember when you learned to drive, for example, it stuck with you throughout your life, even if you couldn’t have a car of your own for many years; because you knew it was important to you and also interesting as you saw your family drive, so you put not just your intellect and analysis but your whole heart into it, your passion to grow drove you forth.

And life itself is learning, growing, developing, creating ever forth; for when you learn with your heart in it, then you follow life and start living, you stop thinking and suffering age and the pressures of the world, because now you are nurturing yourself with food that will not leave you but strengthen you and make you feel stronger and more confident to create a better path–whether you are 20, 40, or 70 years old.

The worst mistake people make is to think and believe that the brain ages with the body and that there is no stopping the process; but the brain ages because most people do not care for it and nurture it with deep love for learning–i.e., a new language, new ideas, new lifestyles, new books, new skills or enterprises, new daily behaviors, mindful meditations, etc. etc.

When this happens and you nurture your brain daily, new neural connections appear, new awareness, consciousness expands, and you embrace change and direct it to better fit the ever evolving you.

Eternal and Unquenchable.

No Comments on Eternal and Unquenchable.

So many people in the world are ruled by hatred, fear, and the search for money and popularity that their minds are blind to the truth, to reality, they live in this illusion of their minds where everything truly important ages and so they have to compete violently and rush into situations, manipulate and scheme to become better, to become someone else, to become powerful in the eyes of society; for they truly hate themselves deeply and so seek things and accomplishments, and step on others and show their “superiority” just because they need to fill this emptiness they carry inside.

This is the ignorance in the conditioned brain, because they are ruled by dogmas, beliefs, ideas, traditions, memories, and all lifestyles and philosophies borrowed or stolen from others, taught to them and maintained since childhood, they compare themselves to others, they envy and do not know what love/a deeper connection really is.

27973266_425362294563805_2146636734359793375_n

The unquenchable fire of love and compassion for themselves and for others is buried under all these beliefs, traditions, ideas, and lifestyles of competition to see who is superior, who can be a better slave to money, hatred, and all commercialism, in general to a disgraceful society.

They cannot see and feel what lies in themselves buried and so they seek and seek, for ever more because they see themselves aging and time passing so they become impatient and agitated; therefore, they see life as ephemeral and rushing by, they do not understand that what is buried deep inside them, the unquenchable fire of love and compassion, makes them eternal, makes their minds pure, innocent and creative, absolutely free to see reality as it truly is, to see life as it is and find peace and patience from the tricks of time and all thoughts of violence.

Heart of a relationship.

How can anyone actually listen without losing the message being conveyed…?? Why is it that so many arguments and misunderstandings in relationships occur…?? What is healthy communication, the kind of communication which unites or connects in harmony…?? …

Have you honestly ever stopped your rushing mind and ponder about this? Because if we analyze its importance, then we find that communication in any relationship is key; for communication is not only sharing opinions and passing a message, which is important in itself, but communication is an art form–communication is a deeper understanding of each other, a deeper realization of each other’s ideas and feelings.

e8137d71f144529f448f8c71e0e1be47--end-of-relationship-quotes-heart-and-souls

A deeper understanding and realization in order to find solutions which work for both parties, and also to mitigate misunderstandings and any psychological or even physical violence. Listening is the biggest part of a healthy communication, which is done only if your entire attention is on this process of listening.

If while communicating your attention is on your own thoughts and you are thinking on your reply to argue further, then you are losing the meaning of the communication, because you are disconnecting from this art form and you are distancing yourself from the other person or persons. This ignorant act certainly creates a mind which is agitated, confused, violent, which lashes out at the ones around it; consequently, bringing its own suffering and walking away from one’s own heart.

Wholeness of attention is to delve deeply into it, it is to stop your rushing mind when someone else speaks and being there wholly, listening without judgement; and because you cannot know everything, the inward act of attention conveys a message of humility saying, “I care about someone else’s feelings and not just my own, so I take the time to respect the other person as I’d like to be respected.

“Whatever you focus your attention on will become important to you even if it’s unimportant.” ~ Sonya Parker; American relationship writer, vloger, coach, and activist.

The Spark of Intelligence.

Post author By thegodwithinblog

No Comments on The Spark of Intelligence.

The mind of man, in its lower, dormant state, is very conformist, opportunistic, it chooses the easiest and most popular path to follow; it does not create out of reason and love for itself but it designs and schemes paying attention to the world around it.

And the world around it is certainly ignorant and selfish, it does not look for peace and love, unity and uniqueness, it does not search for the growth of the individual; consequently, it seeks to consolidate itself and its power, its influence and control in these weak and lower-state minds, and all in order to selfishly feed its own ego, sell, and demonstrate power over others–comparison between peoples, between nations to see who is better – competition always.

27751671_422405968192771_5137328552482006938_n — Society, it does not matter what the media and slogans say, does not look to cultivate thinking minds, rich minds which use logic and question, because thinking minds are a danger to the established order, to the established norm; thus, society sells lies dressed as truths in order to slow the mind of the individual and make them followers, enslaves to their own greed of consolidation.

But there is the one individual who allows his mind to stop the chatter and see through the bullying of the demands of society, someone of higher intelligence who sees through the lies and facade of the media, religion, and the government; and, furthermore, this one is the person who steps away and focuses on himself, without being selfish, without following the mere rabble and those idiots in power who conspire to make him another robot without a thought of his own.

To awaken to this is to realize deep within you that you can create and build yourself, that you find and discover happiness and success on your own and so you stop seeking it outside of yourself.

The spark of intelligence illuminates the human mind when we take time to stop our rushing thoughts from following others, the media, and all of society’s schemes; and so question ourselves, all we know and believe, all we have been taught in the past, even if whatever we believe seems at a first glance rational. The lightning spark of thought generated in the solitary mind awakens and is able to function independently, richly, full of intelligence beyond what you now now and understand as intelligence.

The beginning of unique, rich, creative thought, comes when you begin to see through the schemes of society; as you question yourself, the thoughts you have, the feelings you have, and the intentions and reasons you have.

“It is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?” ~ Henry David Thoreau; American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, and historian.

Travelers of The Known.

All things are ephemeral, limited, doomed to suffer decay through time, artificial, and beneath that which fuels all you see and is reality; therefore, a piece of land, people, daily situations, great achievements, all relationships you form, they are all tied to thoughts and feelings of change, time moves forward and it does not stop, all life has an end and it is mechanical.

The human being is indeed a traveler, substance of thought and flesh under the rule of constant change, constant evolution; and so, it is not these temporal things tied to change which must rule your life, even though they occupy certain importance in the healthy development, but it is what fuels these the one ethereal substance to discover beyond the everyday facade.

Where do you discover happiness really…?? Is it in a piece of land, in the job you have, in the relationship you have, in the success in society you gain, in the pride of seeing your son or daughter getting a family of his or her own…?? And do you really own these things and people…?? Are you the owner really….?? … And what happens if you lose your land, your job, your relationship, your success in society, and if your daughter or son dies…?? Does that mean happiness dies for you, too….?? …

Know that happiness does not mean the pleasure of having all these wonderful things; but happiness is not a product of these things or any thing…

And that is precisely the problem with humanity, their thinking is too superficial, mediocre, mechanical, conditioned; for they believe only in what they see, and so love and happiness is in what they find in relationships, people, events, successes in the world of form, etc. Love and happiness is a gamble for them, such gamble which carries suffering, confusion, enslavement which is the great loss of all mental and emotional freedom.

But one who is awake or wants a realization of a deeper nature, should question what happiness really is, and what is it you own in this life…

Keeping the peace.

“What is tolerance? It is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other’s folly. That is the first law of nature.” ~ Voltaire; French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher.

It is really easy to give in to anger and all sorts of anxiety, specially when dealing with really stubborn and illogical people–i.e., people of set beliefs, fixed ideas, attached to traditions of old, and all this nonsense people fall into out of sheer ignorance and a lazy mind. Basically most people fall into this category, but quite often these still can be good and decent people, people who try to do their best even with the mental conditioning they have, and sometimes people do not try to even do their best. It can be really frustrating to deal with this erratic crowd.

But we have to remind ourselves that people come from all sorts of places, environments, families, and with all different experiences that have shaped their minds one way or the other; so, for better or worse, these individuals must be seen from a psychological level, not just to understand what we can understand about them but to keep your own mind in peace when dealing with them.

And your mind must remain in peace and harmony, because, even though it can be difficult at times, it is all about you and not them, it is all about communion with yourself through a mind which is not in any agitation whatsoever.

Each one of us has a purpose for being the way we are, and we may not understand why this or that person reacts one way or the other, or why this or that person thinks one way or the other; however, life is conscious and wise, and it is not our business or concern to straighten them out or make them better. Your only concern must be your own self and to show respect and love for people, and if they don’t care for you then just walk away and keep your ego tamed.

Watch your own ego, which always wants to fix everything and everybody.

Out of your head.

“All lives have triumphs and tragedies, laughter and tears, and mine has been no different. What really matters is whether, after all of that, you remain strong and a comfort to your loved ones. I have tried to meet that test.” ~ Pat Nixon; First Lady of the United States from 1969 to 1974.

“It is not living that matters, but living rightly.” ~ Socrates.

People get so caught up in their heads, in their problems, in their ideas not being recognized, in their obsessions, that they forget to live each moment with joy and understanding.

The value we can find in living the moment with integrity and comprehension cannot be compared with anything else; and that is because your life’s wealth is not in what you pursue or even in what you can fix of a certain problem with much work and dedication, but it is in each moment which you live mindfully by knowing that you do your best and that you do it unselfishly.

And being present also means being thankful for what you have and for the people around you; this is the best and the only way you find the true value in life. Because, even though society may bombard us with “buy this, buy that,” “Go to church and praise some bearded lunatic up in the skies,” “Get married and have lots of kids,” “Work hard and make lots of money,” and all this garbage, what truly matters is that you live rightly and to the best of yourself so you can give the best example.

It is extremely important that you can see the truth in this, and that you can be free to stay in the truth and get out of your own head. Leave the stress and the problems and live in the moment, in reality, knowing that the true experience of life’s value is in the Now.

“Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.” ~ Omar Khayyam; Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet.

The wider view…

“Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.” ~ Theodore Isaac Rubin; American psychiatrist, and author.

“Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.” ~ Marie Curie; Polish-French physicist and chemist.

Happiness, true happiness, is realized and experienced in the individual by having patience and perseverance, by having diligence and commitment to a cause; that all means struggle through challenges, a deeper understanding, and reluctance to quit. Self-discipline is paramount through it all since self-discipline means passion to this superior commitment; this is the path to what lasts and to what gives profound meaning to our lives.

Of course, the rest is just fleeting pleasure, it will not necessarily be struggle nor make us get out of our comfort zones. The lower mind, the animal condition in man will always tell us of the easy pleasures in life, where the ego feels comfortable and gives mere satisfaction to the same ego-centered mind; however, most of the time this does not last and the mind is like in a sugar rush… it is extremely excited and high… but soon afterwards the mind goes back to its normal state and then there is the immediate sugar crash…

But through intelligent planning, analysis, hard and consistent work, and a noble and pure passionate heart, happiness can be experienced, true and constant happiness that is and not mere excitement and pleasure with a disguise to fool us into happiness condition.

For example, most of the time people get into relationships while confusing a mere attraction to the pleasures of the same relationship with true happiness, and that is because they are fooled by their egos and the feeling it superficially creates in them; however, the feeling of happiness is pure and is not based upon attachment to a face, to an intellect, or to a personality–these things might help, but they do not connect two souls because these things are tied to change (one day they are there, the next day they may not be.

No, happiness is not pleasure. Happiness is the deeper connection to a person or to an event just for the sake of giving love, for the sake of connecting; it has no reason more than the process of expanding love. The ego expects love and happiness. The pure heart just feels a soul connection and gives love because that is what it does… it just gives love… in the process of giving is the happiness experienced.

So, pay attention in your own life and learn to see the difference between true happiness and fleeting pleasure, between what lasts and what doesn’t. This will guide you towards true success and happiness which is real and thus brings real value to your life, to your superior development.
