Live free.

“Misery loves good company, so if you are surrounded with drama, gossip, and fools, you may want to consider that you are presently at risk of becoming one of them.”  ~ Bryant McGill; social entrepreneur, activist, and motivational author.

In order to experience unique growth in life as the individual you are, there must exist harmony and peace in your daily living; but if you are always surrounding yourself with drama and all sorts of nonsense, either from family, friends, or society overall, you will not grow and elevate your mind in wisdom and vision to realize your dreams and goals.

Allow your attention to shift to themes, news, conversations, people which can help you in your individual journey; all things which can empower you and give you a deeper understanding of life.

This is indubitably self-love, because what you are doing is caring and giving attention to your true self and to relevant data and positive energy to push you forward and help you create your own path in life.

Remember, absolutely no one can do this for you, but only you can.

So dare to step out of your ego and its comfort, choose the people around you, or watch carefully the time you give to this people, it doesn’t matter who they are and how much they say they love you.  Is about self-love. 

It is about you and your growth in life, not about other people.


So, pay attention to this, worry about your own individual progress.

Opposite to what religions teach nowadays, true spirituality is individual growth, true spirituality is self-love.  This is the real teaching of Jesus, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Muhammad, etc., beyond all religious poison and biased translations of scriptures.

The eternal dance.

“True happiness is… to enjoy the present, without anxious dependence upon the future.”  ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca; Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, dramatist, and humorist.

“The meaning of life is contained in every single expression of life. It is present in the infinity of forms and phenomena that exist in all of creation.” ~ Michael Jackson.

Happiness is not something esoteric and mysterious, but happiness is the very experience of the moment by allowing your full attention to be expressed in that particular situation.

37b11bde2a09bf4328cd2695c2a580ab--psychic-quotes-linear
The present moment carries our past and future, and it is the only reality there is. By allowing your attention on the present, you shift your emotional body into experiencing this reality which is eternal.

All things carry expression and is your mind the one that finds either misery or happiness there; therefore, is not the situation itself, but your mind and the choice it makes.

For example, your house gets ruined by a flood, you lost many precious things you had.  Now, you cannot do anything about it, what you lost you lost; but, however, your mind is the one who chooses to relive the past and cry over what you lost, or your mind can choose to look into the good things in the present–perhaps that you and your family are alive, that you have friends who support you, that you can be patient and strong and work towards a better life, etc.

By acknowledging the present moment, whether pleasant or unpleasant, you free your mind from suffering, from thinking of the past and/or future; therefore, you don’t live in the illusion of a past memory or in the vision of a future, but you embrace the present and live in the reality which is eternal. 

Your mind is everything, everything you think and feel is due to your mind; so, if you control your mind and allow it to live in what’s happening around you, in the present, then you can avoid the painful lingering of thoughts which do not help you move forward but which only serve the purpose of crippling you emotionally.

Control your reactions by knowing yourself, then your mind will shift to the present things which can help you experience happy moments.  Constant happiness.

Reality Creator.

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought.  The mind is everything.  What we think we become.”  ~ Buddha.

“You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind.”  ~ Joyce Meyer.

The world is a perception of the physical senses.  Scientifically, we know that all you experience every day is what your mind tells you.

You only know the world based on your mind and based on what you allow your mind to contain; therefore, whatever you feed your mind–as in thoughts, environments, people with whom you interact, books you read, shows you watch, words you use–is what your experience is going to be, is what your mind is going to tell you about the world.

state-of-mind
You cannot experience true happiness in your life if your mind contains violence, hatred, jealousy, lust, and all obsessions which excite and make this same mind confused and rushing all the time.


As Buddha says ‘What you think, you become.’  Learn then the art of feeding your mind properly, the art of exercising your mind daily to make it strong and ready to help you experience the happiness and success you desire.

Embrace the scepter of wisdom and create your life by creating your own mind first. The secrets of your life and all successes you may achieve, secrets of yourself, of God, of the universe, lie in your own mind.

Truly, in your mind is all you will ever need, and if you do not feed your mind properly you cannot expect greatness to occur; so, read carefully, ‘it does not matter your intentions and your heart, if your mind is not filled by purity and strength, then you will waste your life and you will never be really happy.’


This is Universal Law.

Forging steel.

“Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.”  ~ Marcus Aurelius; Roman emperor.

“The unexamined life is not worth living.”  ~ Socrates; Greek philosopher.


Life is not just some state we have to go through and experience, but life is a gift, the greatest blessing; and much more than that, life is something we create in order to reach experiences that fit our individual personas as human beings.

You cannot follow in the footsteps of others and expect your life to be some mirror reflection, but you must design your own life, correct your destiny, forge yourself into the person you want in your heart to be.

Forge-Steph-8470_rec-662x446
Forge yourself!

You have to savor the process of falling in love with mighty patience, enjoying the present and experiencing the bliss in you.  Be wary of your conduct, watch yourself and analyze, study, let time be your ally as you trust whatever you go through in your life; and so, wise is the patient one, for patience is loving yourself enough to respect this process of trust.
But as you trust, you must be diligent because challenges will arise and shake you, so keep your head up high and do not quit whatever ignites your heart with a noble passion.

The fact is that life is perfect flow, but this world we inhabit, this society is flawed and far from perfect; so, you must watch your mind and your expectations, do not let your own ego create false expectations and reflections which may soon cripple you when things don’t go as you planned them.

Do your daily work with wisdom and do not carry yourself forth with ambitious and selfish desires; and in order to gain wisdom, you must silence the chatter of your mind and listen to your heart without interruptions.

And as well when dealing with people, it is wise to listen to what they say instead of listening to yourself and your grandiose ego.

Poetry and prose from the heart. Stories to ponder. The free mind of a human god!

Through our hands…

“Whenever I climb I am followed by a dog called ‘Ego’.”  ~ Friedrich Nietzsche.

 

The Ego Dissolves

The red roses had nearly died,
The passionate youth had begun its cry,
As my heart rose with a poor beat,
As my ego had increased its bleat;
The winter was here and I immersed in pain,
Air terribly cold and full of memories the rain.
As I saw the cattle in tender embrace,
The birds in love under God’s grace,
The sky giving birth to the lovely cloud,
The currents whispering sweet care loud,
While I walked the lonely road
And depression within me flowed,
Felt I the sins of my mind,
Illusions of separation which led me blind.
You and I had grown apart,
We had neglected the pure heart,
Our pride and foolishness had won,
Ego as powerful as the loaded gun;
Our first meeting had begun red as the flower,
Then our eye deviated from the flame of all power.
Surely the one I was which buried the soul,
The one which took from us the goal;
You were the firm and steady rock,
Of this tender strength I admit I was the block.
But later my heart contemplated the truth,
Yes, Of the heart the passionate youth.
A wise lesson hidden under the painful story,
Your voice came to my mind and this was glory,
God throughout my form, the energy was intense;
The wisdom of love and the growth of character hence.
With the free flow of love The Ego Dissolves,
With the full expression of the spirit the mind evolves.

S_eparation is seen as the greatest illusion when true love exists in your life. Only the moment the ego dissolves true love appears._

 

“He who treats his woman like a princess is a living proof that the woman who raised him is a Queen.”  ~ Unknown.

 

Through our hands…
From many a travel beyond the stars,
From two passionate soul memoirs,
The energy which sizzles connection,
Profound love through our affection.

Through our hands we feel the stars so bright,
Into the cosmos the link when they hold tight;
The purest sensation of warmth and care,
The love incandescent which the souls bear.

The mysteries of Creation so vast
Meet not in the future or the past;
The present holds the secrets of All,
As our love dances in the Celestial Hall.

Through our hands the sleeper wakes into reality,
Into the horizon we gaze the heavenly totality;
The magic now overtakes us in sacred communion,
Love expands within us to make the purest union.

Just a reminder about love…

“Many times I say learn the art of love, but what I really mean is:  Learn the art of removing all that hinders love.  It is a negative process.  It is like digging a well: You go on removing many layers of earth, stones, rocks, and then suddenly there is water.  The water was always there; it was an undercurrent.  Now you have removed all the barriers, the water is available.  So is love: Love is the undercurrent of your being.  It is already flowing, but there are many rocks, many layers of earth to be removed.”  ~ Osho; Indian mystic, guru, and spiritual teacher.

 

I particularly like the above quote from Osho because it guides me to enlightenment:  It states that there is nothing we have to do to learn to love, the love essence is there, deep inside we are it; however, to experience and share that love we just have to remove all the obstacles to truly express that same love towards ourselves and towards someone else–i.e., the obstacles being the ego, as in condemning behaviors, judging looks, obsessing about an imagined relationship, jealousy, etc.

22540153_502954046733055_426436063830285405_n

 

And in this one he is again talking about Oneness, the importance of thinking and feeling in terms of one essence, love.  When in a committed relationship, if the mind makes a distance and starts thinking in terms of two, then there will always be differences and annoyances; but if we allow our minds to be one with our hearts, then we’ll start experiencing the relationship as one–i.e., whatever you do to make your partner happy makes you happy as well, and vice versa:

“In real love there is no relationship, because there are not two persons to be related to.  In real love there is only love, a flowering, a fragrance, a melting, a merging.  Only in egoistic love are there two persons, the lover and the loved.  And whenever there is the lover and the loved, love disappears.  Whenever there is love, the lover and the beloved both disappear into love.”  ~ Osho.

Everlasting…

“You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing an imperfect person perfectly.”  ~ Sam Keen; author, professor and philosopher.

“Love is happy when it is able to give something.  The ego is happy when it is able to take something.”  ~ Osho; Indian mystic, guru, and spiritual teacher.

 

All human experience is based upon true love, or the essence of love; however, the ego always wants to design opinions and interpretations, it wants to deviate the experience–i,.e., give that experience different qualities, feel, concepts, etc. And when it comes to relationships specially, the ego comes suddenly and focuses on the superficiality which has nothing to do with true love.

thr

The fact is that in any relationship, whenever you allow your attention to center on the flaws (which all human beings have) you are tied to think about those same flaws, your mind then suffers and becomes violent, and soon you create emotions which do not help but make everything worse in your life.

But when you focus on the positive behaviors or traits of the other person, then your mind frees itself from any suffering, your emotions help you experience happiness in each moment, and opportunities and life in general seem more enjoyable in all aspects.

On top of that, because you are focused on the good now, with your loving acceptance and example you pave the way for guiding yourself and the other person towards fixing those flaws or becoming better in the relationship.   This is the magic of true love.

 

Beyong the ego

Love does not exist

Within the ego’s mist.

True love is beyond opinion and want,

Beyond the selfish taunt.

It is not of this time and space,

Not even of the body and face;

True love is the essence of deep care,

Of our physical lives the same air.

                                                              ~ Asa

True love cannot exist if you judge or focus on the flaws of your partner, friend, or family member. True love is like a flame_

Self-help life truths.

Connect.

“Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say.  It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.” ~ Charles R. Swindoll; evangelical Christian pastor, author, educator, and radio preacher.

 

When dealing with people it is wise to remind ourselves that we all have different experiences, upbringings, likes and dislikes that have shaped our minds and behaviors; therefore, we must all accept each other in order to tolerate and further connect with each other.

tha
There is no more ignorance from an oversized ego than to judge people ahead of time, without knowing their reasons and without knowing their full intentions through their behaviors; otherwise, you will miss the opportunity to develop yourself as a more compassionate and understanding human being and to, perhaps, connect with that person at a deeper level.

Most ignorant people tend to judge people specially based on looks, they do not stop their thought and try to understand the psychological experiences that person might have had to live through to adopt the way he or she looks.

Tattoos, esthetic surgeries, body piercings, excessive body fat, the way one dresses, etc.–these might have a past, some right or wrong reason, some psychological origin; however, that should not be judged, because if one spends the time judging and pointing fingers, then there is no time and desire for your mind to expand in understanding and for your heart to love without an interference from some ridiculous ego.

Flowing energy.

“The key to meditation is focusing on specific symbols.  The symbols are the chakras.”  ~ Dr. Frederick Lenz; spiritual teacher, software designer, businessman, record producer, and author.

“Spiritual balance is how you deal with opposition, outside of yourself and within.  Spiritual balance is Tai Chi.  It is the center of things.  It is the place where yin and yang meet.  In the chakras, it is considered the heart chakra, anahata.” ~ Dr. Frederick Lenz.

 

The word “Chakra” comes from the Sanskrit word for wheel, and is more commonly translated to mean a point of physical or spiritual energy in the human body.

The seven chakras are the centers in our bodies in which energy flows through.  Blocked energy in our seven chakras can often lead to illness, so it is important to understand what each chakra represents and what we can do to keep this energy flowing freely.

22489740_374331399666895_5281482910579817613_n

 

They key word then is ‘understanding.’  Understanding how to balance your life, your inner self and your outer self; therefore, balance is everything which brings bliss, but the ego tends to lean towards one side or the other and not to the middle where there is balance–i.e., strict healthy diet or lots of sugar and fat, lots of sex or abstinence from all sex, exercise for hours every day or no exercise at all, focusing on the misery of the world all day or living in your illusion, etc. etc.

That is why falling in the trap of the ego leads one to all self-destructive behavior–physiologically, mentally, spiritually, and financially wise.

It is extremely important then that you take care of your body and mind, by eating the right foods and not just the foods that you find attractive and that you are used to eating, by being positive and not stressing yourself over every event in your life, by practicing good and wise behavior towards yourself and towards others, by being in the moment and enjoying fully whatever is happening right now (whether pleasant or unpleasant), etc.

It is wise then to always have in mind great balance in all you do in order to clean your energy and be free to embrace a full happy existence.

Seeker.

“Peace comes from within.  Do not seek it without.”  ~ Buddha.

While thinking too much and living all day in your thoughts is a sure path to allow stress, worry, anger, and all tension to overtake your body, we have the real advocate for constant happiness and wisdom:  Our hearts.

heart-awakening-300x300

Through our pure emotions without the nagging insistence and interruption from thought, through our pure hearts, Infinite Intelligence works without obstacle from dogma, belief, or idea; therefore, this is the elevation of the human being via deeper connection to who we really are.


This establishes that everything and anything regarding thought is either pleasure or pain, and it is never happiness–i.e., the ego might make it look like happiness, but it is just an illusion tied to this plane of change.


Awakening to this, is indeed elevation and wisdom to see beyond the designs of the flawed thought of man–religions, governments, nationalities, social classes, etc.  It is unwise then to follow the illusion of a pathetic culture or thought that says, “Die for YOUR country,” or “Honor YOUR culture,” or “Praise YOUR religion and its beliefs.”

Outside of you there is only space and time and garbage from selfish men who are not awakened, nor will be if they keep veiling themselves from the truth, who then try to escape fear and confusion by designing flawed illusions to get your attention.

The only reality there is, the only true freedom there is, is found within yourself.


Awakening is waiting inside, not outside.
