People are physical manifestations of nature’s or consciousness’ evolution, and each one brings an individual purpose and finds it along his/her unique experiences in life.
We are all different, each one of us thinks, feels, behaves differently; and, even when people have grown in the same household and share similar views, we experience things in our own unique manners and with our own ideologies.
And this must be a theme of celebration really, because it is telling us that we all have a different path we are creating constantly, and that we all have the chance to learn to grow in our paths from each other. No one is lost, or meaningless, or lonely, unless they choose to feel that way.
Sadly, there are unconscious people who choose to feel that way, and so they fall into depression, anxiety, desperation, even suicide. Now, other people may hurt us, love us, confuse us, make us feel like we are alone; however, in reality these are manifestations to help us move on and learn to become better human beings.
Not many people can see this truth, because most people choose the path of denial and so see other people as perhaps nuisance or curses in their lives; but one must awaken and see past this nonsense, and so realize that we all, each one of us has a purpose, and that we all can help each other in some big or small way.
Your mind just has to be patient and find the purpose of another person in your life.
What or who is the ordinary man…?? And why is this planet full with the ordinary…?? Society including all its institutions, thousands of years of it, programming minds by popular influence and “education,” growing weeds instead of superior human beings. Is this any surprise…?? “I fear this and that,” “I covet such and such,” “I was not born to accomplish more,” “I judge others based on my own ways of thinking and based on my lifestyle and beliefs,” “The true path of life is to be a perfect saint like Jesus or Buddha,” “It is absolutely necessary to send young men to protect our country by killing other young men.” This is the backwards society and its influence on the mind, perhaps on yours as well.
Why is this though…?? People pretend to be someone else, pretend to act like someone else, pretend to think like someone else, pretend to feel like someone else; and this is the sickness exactly, nobody stands out from the crowd and is truly him/herself. The program runs them like computers that age without even a new program. Idiots everywhere–nice ones claiming to be saints, claiming to live by the truth, claiming to be responsible; but it is all an act to be seen by others, to lie to themselves and keep their old programing. No one explores their subconscious and inquires why they follow and do things the way they do things. Do you inquire into yourself, or are you just another ordinary idiot claiming to be different…??
People claim to know love, compassion, tolerance, understanding, some sort of awakening; however, these same people are “compassionate” by supporting wars and eating animals, these same people also are “intelligent” by reacting like morons to any situation they encounter, these same people “love” by arguing violently and treating their partners like a toy which loses popularity and is tossed into the garbage, Mundanity fills their minds, and they wonder why life is what it is for them, and they complain and come back to make the same stupid mistakes over and over again. Mistakes are great, gold; but only if you truly dedicate time, remain self-aware, and learn from them–then this is how the human being grows and some illumination can bathe the mind. Life is to stop following, stand on your own, embrace the truth and create your unique path; not by asking and wondering and following still, but by inquiring and reaching deeper into yourself, and so being born again and leaving the ordinary behind.
Whatever we do not tolerate, or find truly annoying or disruptive in others, is a mirror to ourselves, it speaks to our higher conscience, it tells us that we must adapt, tolerate, or just walk away. A mirror to ourselves is a reflection of something WE have to change within ourselves, something that we see in others and annoys us (annoys our ego); but, of course, the ego, which is always seeking to blame others and seeking to feel comfortable itself, as a measure of security, conditioning, will tell us that we must not change but that others must change to fit our own lifestyle or own daily living.
Your mind, your ego, is the one which finds faults in others, and which feels frustration, and which feels anxiety and all anger, is it not…?? You are in charge of your ego, are you not…?? So, change! Take responsibility for what you think, for how you feel. Your mind expands with understanding, and in understanding and accepting others you are understanding and accepting yourself. Can you see this yourself…?? “We are one” is not just some spiritual or New Age philosophical saying or romantic phrase that’s popular. Have you ever thought about it in deep…?? I know you have heard about “we are one.” So what does it mean then…??
How did Osho, or Jesus, or Buddha, or any Enlightened Master talked to a group and yet the message felt as if directed to each individual…?? They only knew themselves, they didn’t know you; and yet they knew you and all of society from all ages. How…?? With observance of others, with tolerance and appreciation of others’ flaws and strengths, the conscience becomes illumined, the ego is thrown off its throne, you become patient and realize that in others you see your own thoughts, your own feelings, your own soul. If you truly observe the behavior of others without ego, without the voices in your head which complain and bring anger when something irritates you, you will realize what I am saying here, you will come to a deeper understanding than any intellectual one can give you.
I am talking about an emotional understanding which is not guided and ruled by your ego. I am talking about an emotional mirror where you can actually see your own faults and the changes you must make within yourself when you truly observe others. Your ego fights, argues, gets irritated, blames others, and so it depresses you; and if you step out of your ego then a deeper understanding of yourself will light your conscience–i.e., an awakening of conscience.
Relationship is our human lives. Relationship is all there is, with ourselves and with others. Relationship with others is a perfect reflection of the inner relationship we have with ourselves; thus, when you hate or get irritated in relationship with others is because there is something nagging you inside, your own ego disrupting your peace of mind–which you must realize within yourself and change yourself. This brings you a deep understanding of you and everybody else. This brings you an awakening of conscience.
How do you see language, words, codes, our daily mental and verbal messages to ourselves and to other people…?? Do you actually realize the value and importance in life which words do have…?? What is the purpose of our many languages…?? As a writer I put a lot of analysis and meaning into words, because its usage, after all, is certainly the main medium for communication we have as human beings. Words can either create or destroy, elevate or humiliate, make others feel loved or despised, make others do great things or unspeakable things. Can you see this for yourself…??
Think about it– Hitler made people, which were good and decent people before, hate and kill others. Jesus, Buddha, and other Enlightened Ones, opened minds into love and made people follow their wisdom teachings. Religions nowadays make people’s minds narrow and unable to see reality with their ignorant words. You can either create a great human being or a criminal with words, specially during early childhood when the human brain is absorbing more knowledge from what their parents say.
Creation endowed us with the great capacity for words, for greater communication, for a mighty reason. Our words are powerful and to be used with great responsibility.
Words in your mind. Words aloud to yourself and to others. Great energy they are. White magic, words of love, which builds and elevates yourself and other people. Dark magic, words of all contempt and fear, which destroys and humiliates yourself and other people… So, use them carefully and with responsibility…
“Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate and to humble.” ~ Yehuda Berg; Israeli-American international speaker and author on Kabbalah.
“The Old Soul is more inclined to be a lifelong learner, constantly feeding his thirst for insight through his own persistent efforts. His learning has not been forced into him through education or learned out of obligation, but has been absorbed out of curiosity and personal choice.” ~ Aletheia Luna.
“It’s not uncommon for the Old Soul to experience some measure of depression, apathy or existential lethargy when it comes to living everyday life. After all, if physical existence loses its star-spangled gleam, and everyday affairs lose their burning importance, what is the point of living a dull life?” ~ Aletheia Luna; Australian spiritual writer, mystic and healer.
We all are eternal underneath this physical existence, and we all carry the memories and hidden aspects of many lifetimes flowing through our Infinite Intelligence; therefore, we all carry impressions of the past, of this life and of others before this one. We are the energy inside the atoms which makes up everything we experience, and that is a spiritual as a scientific fact as well.
Then we all have tendencies of freedom in our soul, and tendencies of mental elevation; however, most people have a greater influence of the world in their thoughts and behaviors–it could be genetics, it could be the influence of the people around them, etc. So, experiencing life and learning is different for all of us, but we all maintain the deep desire for free expression.
Some signs you are an old soul: 1) You tend to be a solitary loner. 2) You love knowledge, wisdom and truth. 3) You’re spiritually inclined. 4) You understand the transience of life. 5) You’re thoughtful and introspective. 6) You see the bigger picture. 7) You were a strange, socially maladaptive kid.
Old souls just feel more empathy, more intense intuition into what the world calls maturity, and they do not experience life the same as the rest of the people in the world. This is a reality, as I am myself an Old Soul, and I always have been different in many mental and emotional ways than the people around me, mostly my family.
Old Souls tend to experience more intense emotions and lean towards more specific occupations which involve the further development of those emotions in their lives–like spiritual teachers, artists, craftsmen, motivational and inspirational writers, life coaches, social work, etc.
“You should not be carried away by the dictation of the mind, but the mind should be carried by your dictation.” ~ A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami; spiritual teacher and founder.
“If you want to find God, hang out in the space between your thoughts.” ~ Alan Cohen; motivational speaker, businessman, inspirational writer, journalist, spiritual educator, radio program host.
The space between the thoughts you have is the real you, because that space is the vast sea or the ether of the mind, and the thoughts popping up are the fish or bubbles in the sea. The space between thoughts is what serious meditation is all about, because that space hides the free-flowing energy of the universe, of consciousness, where there is no passion or desire, where there is no fear or anxiety, where all is just what is and where the present is found.
Meditators know that the space between thoughts is divine and powerful, is what frees them from all the bondage and mediocrity of human society and all mechanical thinking of the daily life. These spaces are where all the vital energy of the human being feeding your body cells and all your thoughts is located, and this is the free flow of Infinite Intelligence directly.
Human expression is fueled by these sea waters holding emerging thoughts, and so, whomever gets in direct communion with these sea waters or conscious ether between thoughts, experiences a rebirth which allows him or her to elevate his mind beyond the material and the ordinary.
This is understood only by experience and not merely by reading it.
“You have to find out what meditation is. It is a most extraordinary thing to know what meditation is–not how to meditate, not the system, not the practice, but the content of meditation. To be in the meditative mood and to go into that meditation requires a very generous mind, a mind that has no border, a mind that is not caught in the process of time. A mind that has not committed itself to anything, to any activity, to any thought, to any dogma, to any family, to any name–it is only such a mind that can be generous; and it is only such a mind that can begin to understand the depth, the beauty and the extraordinary loveliness of meditation.” ~ Jiddu Khrisnamurti.
Meditation is the flowering of the human spirit through inner attention on what is, it is nature at its purest, it is the place where man, or the form of man, does not exist because consciousness is free from thoughts and all ignorance.
Meditation gives the serious meditator strong self-discipline which works in all aspects of his life. Meditation boosts emotional and intellectual intelligence to understand the depth of life. Meditation gives one the confidence and strength to be unique and a light unto oneself and unto others.
“Be strong, be fearless, be beautiful. And believe that anything is possible when you have the right people there to support you.” ~ Misty Copeland; American ballet dancer.
“Have people by your side who has already been where you want to go or that are working to go in the same direction you are going in life.” ~ Unknown author.
Life is too short and too precious to waste it on the wrong people. Many times people just spend their time with the wrong crowd and mistreat the right one, specially in high school where one is finding him/herself and ignorance rules the mind of most interactions–I remember that it used to happen to me, and quite often I wouldn’t realize that I was choosing someone because of their appearance or popularity.
But as we grow up, we should direct our time and effort into making experiences with people that really care, not just people that act one way or is attractive somehow merely on the surface.
The goal must be to share our growth and experiences with people who resonate with us, with people that has our energy and that we can learn from. If you just spend time with people that is superficial or that is distanced from your inner persona as a spiritual being, how can you elevate your mind and grow as a person…?
We must know ourselves and inquire into ourselves to become a light of energy emanated onto others, and thus attract the right people, not only for spiritual growth but for mental and all financial growth and opportunities in our lives.
“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them, that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” ~ Lao Tzu.
“You are always a student, never a master. You have to keep moving forward.” ~ Conrad Hall; American cinematographer.
Life does not just happen, but it is created with a purpose by this universal essence behind all forms of matter, behind all atoms and corpuscles of all substance. Human beings, the shell we see in the mirror and the thoughts we experience every day, are a product of this life-force or life-energy.
Things flow, nature follows its course, and the purpose behind it all is hidden from the rebellious human mind; and it so happens that resisting to this natural flow creates friction, such friction creates ripples of tension in us and around us, the natural flow gets interrupted, and we force vibrations to create negative outcomes we call dark energy, stressful and damaging events. And then most people say, “Life is not fair” or “Life just happens to be this way.”
Is life really unfair…?? Perhaps is our perception through our resisting of life that is not fair…?? Life is beauty in the eye of the beholder, and the beholder must be wise in this.
And we can never assume that we have mastered life or that we are always going to do well; life is change, life is challenges, even for the most elevated minds among us. Experiencing life must be unique and something we enjoy through curiosity and exploring ourselves, so we are bound to make mistakes; however, the worst mistake which can really hurt you is to follow the path or the life of another. Love another but follow, invent, do your own life, assuming nothing and always moving forwards, embracing that the next step you take could be a storm or a sunshine. You never know
And if you expect always the best, then you won’t be prepared for the worst. If you do not train yourself in this way, your ego will get used to comfort, and when things go wrong then you will suffer greatly and blame life. Physical life, its joys and pains, is a gift from the highest condition of existence, from the only real condition of existence.
Learn to appreciate it and align yourself with its movement of creation.
“Every single second is an opportunity to change your life, because in any moment you can change the way you feel.” ~ Rhonda Byrne; Australian television writer and producer.
“What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” ~ Mark 11:24.
Thought is a very powerful weapon we carry, it can either destroy us or help us elevate ourselves in life. Thought is an intense entity of vibrational energy that has been given to us to be used appropriately, because life is to be experienced in full bliss, life is not meant to suffer and to feel pity for ourselves.
Out of all the many wonderful creations on earth, human beings were given intense thought which is always interacting with us; animals do not have this higher intensity of thought, and that is why they cannot accomplish what we can accomplish, and that is why they also are more pure when it comes to love (no obstruction from polluted thought).
But, of course, this high intensity of thought we humans have also works to our disadvantage; because due to our physical senses, our thinking is always rushing into conclusions and overwhelming us with prejudices, and beliefs, and all ignorance.
Thought is very powerful vibrational energy, such energy which is everywhere. The thoughts of people, whether positive or negative, are always everywhere and anywhere; because thought swims in the waters of mind, and mind is not just confined to our head, but it is everywhere–and that is why there exists such phenomena as remote viewing, certain intuition, and many more psychic experiences.
But obviously I am not talking about the limited human mind, but about the wonderful subconscious, Infinite Intelligence. Whenever you reach a high vibrational state in your conscious mind, so high which aligns the vibration of your thought with that of your heart, by deep feeling we magnify or intensify the connection to our subconscious, and so vibrations start creating in the outside environment.
This is the real prayer, when uniting vibrational thought with vibrational heart… “What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” ~ Mark 11:24.
Synchronicity is energy emanated out into the world by events, relationships, places, things, etc. Remember that absolutely everything that happens is guided by the conscious essence we call life, there are no coincidences, but there are times when people might think is a coincidence because human beings have flawed minds which only hold a bank of memory belonging to this physical life; and synchronicities are memory banks of energy from the eternal ether of life, and not just tied to this physical form. Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung first described the concept of synchronicity as “meaningful coincidences”. Examples of synchronicity are seen in every aspect of life. From getting a new job to breaking up with your lover, you find this phenomenon everywhere.
But synchronicity is mostly recognized in relationships of deep meaning to us, because the whole of mankind is based on connection, and connection is deeper when is spiritual, when energy merges and we connect at a deeper level than just the flesh.
There are a few especial signs, specially between true lovers and people that deeply feel the presence of love when they are in front of another. We must understand what these signs are, not to look desperately for them and allow the ego to design stress and obsession taking over the body, but to embrace the signs of true love whenever they appear and we become this intense magnet for this universal essence we call love.This few will help us expand or elevate our minds:
Sometimes we like people in silence, and they are about to become a major part of our lives, so we start hearing their names whenever someone says something, or seeing their names on billboards, or even their image for no reason. Now, don’t confuse yourself, when this happens because we are infatuated or obsessed with someone’s beauty, this is not a sign of anything, but this is the ego and our physical senses, and no more.
Same happens sometimes when two people text at the same time or call each other on the phone, you two start missing each other and thinking about each other because of the deeper connection merging into one, the communion of one love as spiritual essence.
Having the same train of thought or the same idea; when you, for example, come up with an idea for a vacation or an activity of some kind, and the other person has the same idea or finishes your thought. This happens because the Infinite Intelligence, the subconscious minds are connected and in communion with one another, while there is harmony in the friendship or romantic relationship.
The same likes and dislikes; it is common of real love, soulmates as they call it, to feel this connection with one another which is attracted to many of the same things, as well as unattracted. The love essence is one and perhaps the influence of their merging love has influenced their personalities and minds at the same or near the same levels.
Now, you must know that synchronicities do not mean forever love in a relationship, but they just mean that you recognize each other beyond thought and emotion of the flesh, it means you connected to one another to change your lives and bring something meaningful to them.
The forever part goes through your humanity, the universe or God leave that to your mind and body; therefore, if you develop respect and good thoughts and actions always towards one another throughout good and bad times, then you will make yourselves into one forever.
