Beyond the Noise

To whom it may concern. Because life can be messy, conflicting, confusing, and there is no path set or destiny to straighten you while you live it. You may pretend, claim to be this or that, decorate well your outside for others to see. People do this every day. But this only adds fuel to the spirit of self-neglect, until you realize the core of your own life.

And that’s because, above all, your life is no more than your mind. The world and all its experiences are the result of billions of minds, of billions of people like you trying to find themselves in what others have brought into the world already. Neglecting yourself is only trying to find yourself in the world, in the reality others have created.

One can travel places, amass fortunes, become religious, study all kinds of knowledge, jump from relationship to relationship, have families and follow traditions. But all the messy, the conflicting, the doubt, the hurt, will remain until you let go of the world and its fake and marketed exploration of the self.

It’s impossible to find who you really are out there, because the noisy world is not a perfect mirror of yourself. The world, as created by man, everywhere, is about selling you something. That is how societies thrive. Whether selling you engaging experiences, manufactured emotions, religious fanaticism, ancient or new philosophies, objects you do not really need.

But, know this, the only thing that is real is your mind, because there you find the source of the hurt, of the excitement, of the fear, of the passions, of everything that makes your feel and behavior. It is extremely personal. And if you can study, daily, your mind, then you can see and feel how you are nothing like the world, how above it you are, and how there are millions of shadows and burdens living in your psyche that are not you.

What we observe

Mainly it is what we observe that affects us. A healthy brain works as it is supposed to work, if there is no genetic abnormality. But what we observe forms our minds, our mindsets, our thoughts. If we observe poverty, that is all we can imagine for ourselves. If we observe neglectful, painful, dramatic situations in our lives, then that is all we feel we deserve in our lives.

It’s very difficult to transcend this level of unawareness for most people. It is what we form in our minds. What we see and hear form what we think. And, if we remain unaware, we create a belief from what we see and hear. A belief that may drive us to despair, to feelings of loneliness, to feelings of unworthiness, and even to more mental and physical decay.

So, it is all what you allow yourself to create in your mind. These creations as explosions of rainbow colors will take over your mind and body. They will become your world, and they will cement your new persona. You are always changing, whether you realize it or not. So, your new persona, the way you feel, think, see yourself and the world will be brought about by the schemes of your own mind.

The way you feel, the way you are, how stuck or unstuck you believe yourself to be, is not about God, or about Satan, or about the government, or about how messed up the world is; but it is about you and how you allow your mind to form. The power goes where your attention goes.

If your attention goes to other people, to the way things are in your life right now, even to spiritual worlds, then the power stays there, outside yourself, and you always remain down, a follower, and just another victim trying to survive your own making. But if you use your attention to create your own mind, without outside crutches, then you raise above your old self, above the world and any influence.

Greatest Understanding

Rigidity

No matter who you are, or your situation in life, the enemy is always there, because your ego is always there. So, the enemy of happiness, of love, of intelligence, of understanding, and of progress as an individual in life is all about mental obstacles.

Mental obstacles make us rigid, ignorant, unable to see truth, and fearful of any change around us. Attaching ourselves to a specific belief, idea, tradition, romantic notion, and perspective in life is what creates mental obstacles.

Evolution

There is no barrier bigger than attachment. That nagging and egocentric feeling created in us that says we are right–i.e., right about our beliefs, about our religion, about our politics, about our ideals, about our perspectives and ways to live life.

With any attachment comes suffering, because attachment means a rigid and bias mental state. Life itself is evolution, new ways to see life, welcoming the new, challenging yourself with things that make you uncomfortable. Your mind must change in order to evolve. The world around you changes. So why would you not change and evolve with it??

Difference

Too many people dislike others because they have different religions, and politics, and different ways to see life. But the truth is that there is not one way to be. There are differences in life because people are born and raised in different ways and conditions.

So, you may see and hear Republicans, Democrats, the rich, the poor, the criminal, the non-criminal, the hundreds of religions in the world. So, ask yourself: Why so much difference?? Because people are scared, lonely, irritated, in pain; so they create all these based in their perspectives.

Personal Growth

But no one is right to judge another, because you haven’t been raised in the same way. And there is no right or wrong really, but only perspectives. So, to be free means to understand this, because with this understanding you grow in intelligence. But if you are attached to anything at all, then your rigid mind will see the differences in the world and make you hate them.

And the more you hate, the more you distance yourself from personal growth. And without personal growth, you cannot reach any true love, happiness, or intelligence in life. Intelligence is seeing and understanding the world with its many differences, but it starts from understanding yourself and your own attachment.

The Doom & Gloom

Attached & Influenced

But are you willing to let it go and free yourself, even if it means cutting the chains to the system and to the society you made an important part of your life already?? Everybody, all the time, in all times cry doomsday. Religions with their prophets, heaven, hell.

Politics, what’s better or worse for the country. Economy, difficult times, better times, what to do in your life, what not to do in your life. Everything and everyone is attached and influenced by this.

Ideas & Illusions

Why?? Because it works. Because it has been established in this way a long, long time ago. It all began when man started to grow intellectual capacities and find out he could influence the mentality of others around him.

So, by doing this he created systems in his society. And then, he became attached to his own ideas. Throughout the years, he made himself and others believe these ideas as realities.

Ignorant & Scared

Realities that bring insecurity, and anxiety, and jealousy, and self-pity, and all kinds of fear. But every day is a miracle, if you can see society and its systems as just ideas. Nothing is truly doomed, not as long as you don’t believe in it.

Your belief makes it real to you. Your belief takes you to overwhelm yourself with fear, and then it takes you to create a different world inside your mind, and then this world makes you ignorant and scared of whatever could be coming next.

In love with Life and with Yourself

And what’s coming next is unknown–in relationships, in the economy, in politics, in your life. So, detach yourself from the doom and gloom, from what others say, and especially from your own anxiety and fears.

To fully detach yourself from all of it allows your mind to be free and uncluttered, and this leads you to be brave, confident, yourself entirely. Then, and only then, you become 100% in love with your life and with yourself; and, as a result, no one and nothing can shake your determination and bring you down.

Out of comfort

A game to be discovered

Life is its own experience in you. Life is the constant feeling in you. There is no more to life than this. The economy. Politics. Friendships. The ups and downs. The chaos and also joy in the daily events. It is all a game that we have to discover how to play.

Because all is our minds. The way we choose to analyze our experiences. Everything is a test, and everything requires deeper understanding. So to explode and get upset, to lose control and even victimize ourselves, is all pointless and it doesn’t really help.

Always search more

That is why everything must be questioned and analized with clarity of mind. If you must gain knowledge outside your comfort zone–outside your beliefs, outside your mindset, outside your routines–then seek that knowledge. Because knowledge expands your mind.

In any aspect of your life, when stuck, when suffering, when feeling lost, always seek knowledge first. The search for knowledge keeps you busy, it shakes you out of your comfort zone, and it gives you confidence in you own potential.

Books. Videos. Podcasts. Documentaries. Whatever it is. Get out of your own head, out of your own self-pity, and empower yourself. Don’t remain attached to feelings of failure, to thoughts of negativity, to stubborn beliefs and habits. Expand the understanding of your own life.

Life Over Death

In those moments of anxiety, of trying to figure out what will happen next, allow your mind to let it go and focus on giving your best in the present. What is the point of stressing about something that is not yet here?? Death is a state of the mind that cripples the ability to live daily with joy.

There is no mastery of anything in life if man cannot master his own moment. Living life is an emotional roller coaster, filled with its ups and downs, guided by the behavior of our minds. So, the mind must be in peace with itself in order to enjoy life and its moments.

The mind must not struggle with anxiety. The mind must be a place where one can carefully think, analyze without bias, and find freedom to create feelings of joy regardless of the events happening in our lives. Beauty exists only in freedom. Beauty is what, consciously aware or not, we all seek in life.

But beauty is something which is only discovered when you pause and reflect, when you stop dying and growing mentally old. Age is something of the mind. One can remain young, creative, energetic, attractive, charming, even if the body becomes old. The passage of time has no control of the moment. It is only when you are living in the past and in the future that you bring aging to your mind.

And what makes the mind age–get stressed, unattractive, slow, judgmental, negative, dull, etc–is anxiety and all its effects. Effects that actually change our mental and physical structure, that also make us dull and unable to love and live our best life. Because death is a state of mind that cripples the ability to live daily with joy.

A better approach

A better approach

Composure and emotional control. There are things we cannot control, events we cannot even see coming, and tragedies we cannot avoid. It is pointless to argue and whine about it, and even more pointless to victimize ourselves and stay angry at the world.

Assume a better approach. Ease your mind. Strengthen yourself by controlling your thoughts, your reactions, and your expectations. Tell yourself that nothing is a given, that anything can happen, and that you are okay with any outcome. Because it is about relaxing your mind and adapting to the situation.

Whatever the event. Whatever the loss. Whatever the tragedy. Whatever the injustice. Move on. Detach yourself from any strong desire, need, expectation. If to be happy means anything is freedom. Freedom to let go. Freedom to adapt to whatever life throws at you.

A better mind

If you pursue something–a relationship, a financial situation, a very personal event in your life–do it without attachment. Attachment is born from obsessing over something, from overthinking, from desiring too much, from putting your entire mind, heart, and hope into something.

You could accomplish and have all you want. Absolutely everything in this life. But if your mind does not have freedom, then you really haven’t accomplished anything at all. The freedom to let go and adapt. The freedom to accept and move on. This is the source of all happiness.

What is it then??

Is the passion still there…??

So, a little bit of honesty. Being and remaining in love goes beyond passion and desire. Sometimes people who have been together for years say that the passion is just not there anymore.

But true love is about transmutation really. It’s about transforming the flaws you see, the negativity you feel, the boredom in life, the frustration you feel regarding the other person and the relationship.

What’s the issue here…??

It’s a very intimate and unique process, which is why many people fail at it. When you fail at it, obviously your ego seeks someone to blame. To avoid the hurt, you blame the other person.

But it’s truly a self-awareness issue. The love you feel, or the lack of it. The happiness you feel, or the lack of it. It is all your doing, in your mind, which might be a harsh truth to you.

So, what to do…??

But to feel loved, to love somebody else, and to feel happiness; it is all a choice you can make daily if you keep the attention on you, regardless of the events and people around you. So, love is not the issue in your life, or in the world.

The capacity for self-awareness in the individual indeed is the issue. So, don’t try to fall in love or to find happiness; but, instead, seek to pay attention to yourself in an intimate way. Seek, and enhance, your self-awareness.

True freedom

What is true freedom…??

Keeping the peace in your mind is the most important thing you can do in your life. A calm mind brings trust, insight, confidence, self-control, great creativity, the capacity for great joy, and it helps you stay grounded and see new possibilities.

Facing life can be daunting, it can make you insecure, it can bring you overwhelming overthinking. And freedom is not really in more money, a great relationship, a religion, or anything else. Freedom is the capacity to create your own joy, in your own mind, without any influence from the exterior.

This sounds easy to comprehend, and it is. Not so easy to apply in your own mind, every day, without excuses. Still, if you really think about it, it is crucial to feel love, happiness, and reach success in life. A peaceful mind leads you to make less mistakes, and it leads you to accept yourself, others, life, and all experience as it is. That is true freedom.

How life gets better

Accept it

Failure is just another concept. Failure is just another belief. Failure is not real unless your mind gets attached to it. The only way you do not succeed is if you ignore the lesson in life.

Whatever it is, accept it. Keep going. Try and try again. Do it not attaching yourself to an outcome.

But do it learning in each moment. If you do accept the lesson, however painful, however small it might be, then you can expand your understanding and better yourself.

How life gets better

And that’s how life gets better. Because that’s when and how things start working out for you. When your mind expands in understanding. When your mind does not deny.

When your mind is not overwhelmed by anxiety anymore. That is when life gets better; and love, blessings and happiness start pouring in. I know this from personal experience.
