Your Magic.

The way you live your life, your choices, your lifestyle, your behaviors, the ways you think and feel, must be a celebration of your individuality and uniqueness.  What is that mean…??

That means that as an adult you have to find within yourself the integrity and honesty to realize your own fears, and your own weaknesses, all your demons and the ways you choose to escape yourself, your loneliness, your emptiness.

Do not rely on others to give you love, happiness, enlightenment, or any way to freedom; but be your unique self, stand up and be curious to figure out your hidden self, so you can better your life and not just complain about it and bitch and moan like most people do.

‘NOBODY AND NOTHING EXISTS BUT YOURSELF.’  Understand this and you will understand the hidden parts of yourself, people around you, and the entire way Nature and The Universe works.

No one can give you this gift.  You may spend your whole life expecting it from others, from society and its system, and thus be always disappointed and confused, feeling worthless and frustrated.

Learn to see that you are the only one on whom you need to focus, and on whom you need to work; and then, if you do this honestly, everything and anything else will come into place and fix itself in your life, for this is your magic in life.

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..??”

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.

Beware of The Master!

How aware are you of the truth you know, or of the source of knowledge you have, or of the life you lead…??  Are you really independent, free, and individual in the way you think and act…??  Are you your own Master…??

The human mind seeks answers, solutions, revelations, greater experiences from outside itself; therefore, it enjoys clinging and attachment to whatever it is comfortable to its ego.  Are you aware of this yourself…??  This is why most people falls trap of becoming followers, slaves to religions, to certain men (spiritual or not), to traditions, to collective beliefs, to institutions, and to all the rest of the philosophies and techniques which encase the mind into a blinding pattern.

Do you realize that if you lean and find a false sense of security in something outside of yourself, then your mind becomes attached to it and you lose higher meditation, reality, conscience, and you begin seeing life through that which you follow so closely…??  And you start losing yourself in this method, in this Master, in this philosophy, in this man or god; thus, you distance yourself from self-love because now you live your life not as an individual who is free and conscious, but you live as someone who depends on someone else for love, happiness, for awakening, and for truth.

But truth can only be found in yourself as an individual experience; so, you cannot read about it, or hear it from someone else, or experience it through someone else’s story, but your mind must be absolutely free so you can inquire within yourself and discover it for yourself, without expecting, without blind faith, without clinging, without any attachment, and without any fear whatsoever.

Be aware of this at all times…

A series of fun events.

Can’t you see that life is something to enjoy, fun, beautiful, whatever the situations are…??  Do you understand that you are experiencing this life to enjoy it…??
People tend to take things too seriously, don’t they…??  Of course, there is illness, economic problems, loss of loved ones, ignorant people around us, and more; however, if you can step away from those negative thoughts once in a while you might just like life, and you even may see the joke life is.  Your mind and its content is the screen through which you see life and the situations in your midst, and that is why you must clear your mind, wise up, elevate your consciousness, and see the beauty and love which is on the other side of your frustrations.

God, Creation, Life, Divine Essence, yes indeed, they are always giving you reasons to wake up and see the jokes behind every situation, behind every terrible illness, behind each burden you carry from the past.  Because all life is, all your moments, is a divine and fun series of events, like beautiful still photographs which you may see in your ignorance covered in filthy mud or in your very wisdom shining with warming light.

You build a world of love and happiness, of laughter and joy, when you bring those same things from yourself; and it is your responsibility to be able to bring this.  Not their responsibility.  But your responsibility…  Osho so eloquently said, “Learn to laugh.  Seriousness is a sin, and it is a disease.  Laughter has tremendous beauty, a lightness.  It will bring lightness to you and it will give you wings to fly.”…    So, can you see why laughter has tremendous beauty in it…??

“Lighten up, just enjoy life, smile more, laugh more, and don’t get so worked up about things.”  ~ Kenneth Branagh; Northern Irish actor, director, producer, and screenwriter.

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.

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.
