Destroy Your Illusions.

 

41ce4f7c2e09ae78560795cc29f49ba9

 

As the mind interprets, philosophizes, labels and names, the actual KNOWING, the neutral and unbiased understanding of the essence of a thing, of a person, of all essential information, is lost.

When you see the beautiful sky, for example, and you mentally start judging its appearance, then you are focusing on the labeling and interpretation; thus, your mind is no longer free to KNOW the sky and to understand it. The words in your mind distort reality.

Another example, when you are stressed and anxious about a situation or issue in your life, your mind is clouded and busy trying to form ideas and desperately seek solution; thus, your mind is intellectualizing everything you experience, you become fearful, and so you cannot see the reality of it all but you get taken captive by your own thinking.

And when you see your loved one and you are angered and frustrated with the person for something which happened, what do you see?? Do you see that person as a monster which made you suffer?? Are you seeing clearly?? Are you judging that person based on this past you think about, or based on the present??

The mind can actually be stable and observe reality, see things and people and situations clearly; however, the content of it, the ego of it, is what will influence that “reality” you are seeing.

So, you must make sure you correct your own distortions–i.e., destroy your illusions to see and understand clearly, and so reach what they call “Enlightenment” or “Illumination.”

Between Heaven and Hell.

 

index

What creates our experiences in life is our very minds.  The pain of your divorce, the relived tragedies of painful memories, the feelings of not being good enough, the anxiety when you do not have such and such money, the itching desire for possessing somebody, etc.–it is all your mind.

You may, of course, create your own ignorant excuses of why you feel what you feel–i.e., they make me feel like that, I have an inherited mental disease so I am depressed, I am not rich or have a great job so I constantly feel worthless, I am physically unattractive and nobody wants me, my nation’s politics keeps me violent and agitated, etc.

But, you see, by attaching yourself to all these excuses you are feeding the fire, you are increasing the suffering and anxiety, because you are fighting your own struggles, you are denying how you think and feel and labeling it as something wrong to feel, as something evil.  You are saying it is wrong, or even wicked, to feel like that.

In a way of speaking, you are creating demons, you are creating hell, you are creating your own suffering and neglect.  You are doing the opposite of acceptance here.  Can you take a few seconds and ponder this…??

You must accept all that appears in your mind and all that which you feel, ALL of it; for accepting it is welcoming it, which is like making friends with it, making friends with that part of yourself you do not like but respect now.

This psychological behavior of acceptance begins a transmutation in you, because now you are assimilating and absorbing that which you did not like before, so you get to create it and deal with it under your own terms; otherwise, it is just God and The Devil always fighting in your mind, and this struggle brings you your own hellish experience.

The struggle in your mind between what you currently are and what you should be, or want to be, is what breaks you into fragments, and the fragments are what makes you suffer and feel worthless or like you are not living a happy life.

The Way I must Go.

 

It can be frustrating and daunting to make up one’s mind amidst important life decisions, and it can be truly difficult when drowning in one’s sorrow and confusion in such moments; however, one must remind oneself that no matter how difficult the situation there is always a way to see light and get rid of anxiety.

It is one’s mind the one which gets clouded and confused, drowning in situations and claiming that there is no solution; so, it is one’s mind then the one to be explored and pacified, so that we may become harmony and clarity to create better experiences even in the midst of sorrows and challenges.


“The way I must go”

I met in life situations of thick mud
And I felt lost, filled with deep rage,
Going nowhere, stuck and sad.
Was there in my life another page…??

So I made mistakes quite often,
Paid dearly for each one of those;
But the very falls I tried to soften,
Still my blind mind was full of woes.

But in truth mud is water and dirt,
All nature to help the flower grow;
However I be stubborn and curt,
It is past my ego the way I must go.

I shall be remembering this memory,
Ages and ages to come in my path;
The lessons gave me always energy,
Even though I suffered them a lot.

Beyond the biological machine…

 

hatha_yoga_pradipika_yoga_quotes_37

 

The Breath keeps us alive, it maintains the mortal shell and the “illusion” of the physical.  Oxygen enters our bodies and fills us with life energy in order to function properly within the interactions of this machine we carry.  The gateway to the other dimensions is breathing.  The bridge between what we call life and death.

Once breathing is stopped then, our biological system stays with a few reserves of this life energy so it takes from our cells and its storage to continue brain function; however, soon it runs out and brain starvation occurs due to oxygen lack and this life-giving force (prana).

Now, and this is the interesting part, when we consciously avoid the breath for a few seconds repeatedly the brain becomes strengthened, the mind self-aware–and all this increases brain capacity and emotional connection within the machine.  This is what happens in deep meditation when done properly.

Spiritually wise, we may say that this act or process connects us to what is beyond this physical reality or this very real substance of “illusion.”  Most of the time we live while our subconscious controls breathing, but when we consciously control and break the barriers of mechanical breathing we walk the bridge between this reality and the next.

The ego is sustained, like all our biological functions, through breathing, so it is evident that when we hold our breath and starve our brain for a few seconds repeatedly, in a daily fashion, the ego loses power or influence over the mind because it is not sustained anymore–at least for a moment.

This is what fills us with new cosmic energy and resurrects us every time from the deadly toxins of the ego activity; a break from thought which awakens our whole being and connects us directly to what we truly are beyond our biological machines.

Brighten your thinking.

The aim of any true philosophical endeavor or intellectual pursuit must be the birth of reason and conscience in one’s mind, one must seek to resolve and harmonize one’s situation instead of overthinking and obsessing with it.  It seems alluring as a conditioned program to stay with the same thoughts over and over again, fixed on a past memory, reliving a situation, making oneself a victim and wallowing in the painful problem like pigs wallow in filth; however, this intellect creates its own hell out of pure egotism, it actually distances itself from reason and truth.

Why…??  Because the brain gets poisoned by this obsessive thinking, the nerves fry in time, our whole body weakens and we invite more suffering because of this.  The mind, anguished by the suffering brain, gets more confused, ego hides reason and truth as it grows, and obsession and overthinking distorts reality in our life.  This is not guiding you to light and to a solution, but this is just blinding you more and more as your mind gets anxious and frustrated with the problem or challenging situation.

The brain needs to be free from obsessing and trying to fix everything, allow time to breathe and focus on something else.  Rest your brain activity.  Thus the mind must become emptied of anxiety and stress, because to see reason and truth, to find solutions and guidance one must keep one’s mind in harmony and allow negative and dark vibrations to leave your awareness.  Filled with positive energy then, peace and order shall reach your mind and let some clarity to brighten your thinking.

It is your own mind.

Whatever your mind tells you will drive your actions, and with your actions or behaviors you will either create your life or destroy your life.  This process, obviously, dictates the pleasant or unpleasant journey you have, and it shapes the interactions with those surrounding you; thus, this will create in you either self-love or a large and powerful ego which will rule you.  And the difference is in what you feed your own mind.

Your mind is like a baby absorbing everything he experiences, and if you neglect or give the wrong education to this baby, then he will grow up to be unhappy and unsuccessful in his own life; he will adopt rebellious and even criminal thoughts, and even end up self-destructing and leading others to a dark abyss of the same unhappiness.

In order to give attention and love to that baby, you must spend time with that growing baby, acknowledge the potential for greatness in that baby, feel yourself proud of the education you give that baby.  The mind grows stronger and wiser if you spend quality time with it, not just reacting to your environment and outside situations but being there, studying your thoughts, analyzing yourself and your emotions towards whatever happens.

Embrace the silence within yourself and stop looking for ways to fill that silence.  Watch the inner reactions, self-talks, behaviors you have with yourself, and also watch the interaction with others; and in this manner you will rule and design your life with much love and prosperity.  And isn’t that the whole point of life…??

Without excuses.

What results out of unawareness…?? What is that in us which causes suffering and all kinds of arguments and problems…?? The human mind is a temple, a thing of worship, the portal between this physical life and the divine life or that which is of godliness within us; therefore, to really go beyond our fears, opinions, beliefs, and all ego, is to know ourselves, is to see the sacred in us or that which is untainted. But the mind is filled by us, and this content makes us strong or weak, this content allows us to know ourselves or remain wild animals who ignore their divine origin, and this content gives us access to reason or access to ignorance and violence.

So, all that exists in life is the content of your mind really, because your mind’s content will determine how you see yourself and others, it will tell you what to think about your situation and how to feel about it as well. You will feel bliss or feel pain, you will experience peace or anger, all based on your mind’s content. This means that whatever you go through in life is labeled by your mind’s content as either good or bad, as pleasurable or painful; and so, what you experience then is not your situation in reality but your mind and what it tells you, you follow its labels on the outer situation.

And this is why keeping a mind alert and self-aware at all times is so vital to keep your bliss and happiness–even if you lost someone you love, or if you have a disease, you must remain self-aware and not attached to your suffering/do not ignorantly create suffering for yourself. And you can come up with a thousands excuses for the suffering you are going through right now, but truth is that your mind is making it worse than it is because you are letting it. Life might not be easy, struggles exist for all of us; however, your attention dictates how you feel about your life–if your attention is on problems then you will get more problems.

Resurrection.

To run away from challenges is to fear.  To hate pain and do anything we can to avoid it is to fear.  To whine and complain about the past and about the difficult situations we have is to fear.  And fear is like poison in your blood, once it is there, inside you, you might not feel it damaging you at first; however, in time, sooner or later, it will eat away all your energy for hope, faith, and strength to keep living a life you desire–i.e., it shall eat away your joy and make you see life as meaningless.
 
b6685bf525f5be28493a629a4a6bdef1

When there is no energy for hope, faith, and strength, the human creature is as good as dead; because what matters in life, what designs your life, is how you feel inside, the energy to enjoy life you have, and so without hope, faith and strength you are nothing.  We can see this in the people who have killed themselves around the world, slowly or in a period of time; but depression is a deep chasm or infernal abyss which steals all your energy and distorts every experience you have.  And without the inner living and enjoying of your own experiences, what is there to this life…??

Some people pray, some meditate, some occupy their time reading inspirational books, some do other things which ignite great character in them to maintain a positive and vigorous energy.  Whatever you do, you must keep hope, faith, and strength; for these are the inner traits which keep a man or woman afloat when the tempest tries to wallop you and sink you to the depths of the sea.

This starts in your mind, as everything starts in your mind, and this fact is not something you can choose or argue; so you must dedicate your time to produce the best mind, because in order to embody the spiritual traits needed to live a better life your mind has to flourish in paradise–i.e., resurrect from dead.

The Perfect Dictatorship.

ab830c9f43eb87b82f11b10bbc9d1163
 
Always remember that the slavery of the ego, the slavery of your own desires, fanaticism, obsessions, likes and passions, is not a slavery of immediate affliction where you can experience how selfish and vain you are being; but the slavery of your ego is one with the appearance of righteousness, without walls, warm, cozy, so you do not feel a slave and you never try to escape from your pleasures.

A system your ego creates for you, where you feel free and saintly and in harmony, so you believe that following your own pleasures and desires is always the right thing; and this at the same time makes you feel already in paradise, like you do not need to change, like you are a master of yourself.

And this ignorant world your ego creates is the world in which you live and in which you created truth, love, and God out of your own opinions and likes; therefore, in this system whatever brings you comfort–like eating whatever you please, doing whatever you want to your body and mind, watching whatever you want, listening to whatever you want, etc.–is God and truth and freedom for you.

So this is the perfect dictatorship where you have learned to love slavery, where you have become a slave without knowledge of it, and where all your desires no matter that they are believed, erroneously, by the asleep you, to lead you to love and happiness.  And whatever unsettles this, whatever disturbs this illusion you have built for yourself, is mocked, ignored, and rejected by you.

But to be free, to be in love, to be happy, truly, lies outside of this; hence, mastering yourself is stepping outside of your own ego and doing the things that are good for your ascension and evolution–i.e., eating right and staying away from toxins, doing exercise, watching inspiring things, engaging in conversation which builds higher morals, reading factual things which can improve you, controlling your anger and your stress, etc. etc.

The macho-man, the saintly and innocent girl, the violent revolutionary, the lazy, the intellectual, etc.–all these and  more are the faces your ego builds for yourself, and the ones you accept and follow in the perfect dictatorship.  This exists because you are not free, and there is no knowledge of self.

A strong mind.

developa-strong-mind-and-you-will-lead-a-strong-life-24421277
 
It is not knowledge per se that which illumines the mind or pollutes it, expands it wisely or shrinks it stubbornly, but it is the state and capacity of the mind itself; that is, if the mind is kept pure and away from the seven capital sins, if the mind is self-aware of its own violence, if the mind is kept strong by good food and drink energy, then the mind is ready to absorb good knowledge and make the person truly wise.  This is why some people who study and read, who have acquired much knowledge, are not wise at all; and so, they can display their intellects showing off their colorful feathers like a peacock, but when it comes to temptations and good actions they are weak and not an example of love at all.

You must understand that your mind and its capacity to absorb knowledge is the sum of all the things you do to keep it pure daily; for ‘pure’ in this case means clear, away from impressions which may disturb it and create unwelcome thoughts and images.  A strong mind is able to access knowledge which strengthens reality, and when reality is strengthened then you internalize that knowledge and it gives you a confidence out of love which does not boast and which does not make you prideful.

The mind becomes prideful, arrogant, self-absorbed, when the knowledge is not internalized and it does not give you reality; so, when the knowledge you acquire gives you blind beliefs, fantastical imaginations, feelings of superiority in any way, then it means that something is wrong, it means that your mind is weak and that it is not properly nourished to absorb reality from knowledge–just like a seed (knowledge) planted into a barren and weedy field (the weak and polluted mind) cannot give good crop or any at all.
