O, Lovely Victoria…

There is no more bliss in a human being’s experience that finding that Source of greater truth and love.  That is the Source of very life, to be One with it, to shut the ego and its great delusions of fake love, namely attachment–desperation and desire which blinds.  But, be wise, seek not love, not a woman, nor a man; but be love, rise in love within you, and then you shall become a true magnet, your energy shall be so powerful now that you attract without any intention of finding…

“O, Lovely Victoria…“

Lovely lady, I had found myself lost without devotion,
Without higher purpose, without the slightest notion…

O, Lovely Victoria, a thousand deaths I speak!
A thousand deaths I would experience for thee.
Let me not to the marriage of our divine souls
Be detached and lost, but deeply sincere be.
Love is not love if attraction be only of flesh,
If marriage is only of that which ages us still;
For love, the truest love, is beyond the thresh
Of argument and jealousy lovers do oft’ feel.
The star guides us to a heavenly symphony,
And caresses our higher conscious affection,
And reminds us of our plays in glorious infancy
When our love was just a dormant perfection.

O, Lovely Victoria, as I contemplate thine eyes
I find myself wand’ring the mysteries of the most
Beautiful and radiant Suns which do not blind,
As my energy meets thy Source ever so close.
Have this wretch of a man now lie in divine grace
Of your presence which possesses the bridge
Between matter and consciousness as embrace,
As this soul of mine rises in love without ridge.
Now I see that the youthful hue of your cheeks
Embodies the deepest and most honest emotion,
It shows this poor man divinity’s highest peaks;
For I was lost, but now your love is my devotion.

Concrete visions.

Are you emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually expressive, free, balanced, healthy…?? Is any type of fear blocking you, depressing you, affecting you in any way…??
31781813_456569091443125_5306822682828865536_n
The subconscious is where our experiences, beliefs and memories are stored.  Self-knowledge, the understanding of our thoughts and behaviors and their influence on our lives, will make the unconscious conscious; however, quite often people repress things, avoid expression, ignore how they feel and think, and they remain trapped in themselves with bouts of sadness, embarrassment, moodiness, anger, and all types of anxiety…  Ever happened to you that your subconscious knows something but your conscious does not fully, or that you feel you cannot quite express yourself or be free from a feeling you have deep inside…??

Liberation, inner revolution, deeper knowledge through drawing or mapping your inner images, visions, or feelings; and this is tapping into your own subconscious to access that repressed sense you have, and this not only frees you to feel better and direct your life with greater vision and confidence but it enables you to communicate more openly with others while you make your unconscious conscious through your art/through your divine expression…  Map your business strategies.  Write down how you feel about a certain situation.  Describe your mental images on paper.  Work on freeing past memories.  Whatever you do, make your unconscious conscious always.  You can see better if the pond is cleaner.

For example, I used to wake up in the middle of the night and write my dreams; and so I found many answers I was looking for in that moment of my life–by making the unconscious forces of consciousness work to my advantage I liberated myself and opened my own conscious mind to greater understanding.  As in dreams, one may experience certain unbalance, unhealthiness, trapped emotions during day or night, and this may disturb us; and so, in those cases making use of our inner abilities for artistic expression is what will make the difference between slavery or freedom.

The power game in relationships.

Power is politics, isn’t it…??  Power carries a selfish end, doesn’t it…??  Can power then be related or go with true love…??
Politics is the group of activities associated with the ruling or governing of something, of a country, of groups of people, of a person; and especially the debate or conflict among individuals or parties having or hoping to achieve power.  Love, true love, is free, which means it does not demand, rule, or desire to control; but love exists simply for the sake of existing as a divine connection, no other motives or purposes.  Power is politics and the opposite of love– Can you see this for yourself…??
31369485_454050161695018_57630532602691584_n
Why do you desire money…??  It will bring power.  Why do you want to rule a country…??  It will bring power.  Why do you want respectability and prestige…??  It will bring power.  People search for power, consciously or subconsciously, in different ways…  For thousands of years, the ignorant society of men in which we live has created ways for men to be powerful–i.e., in schooling, jobs, patriarchy in the family, religion and its stupid systems, etc. etc.  Women have been left with only one outlet, namely their bodies, their physical beauty; thus, we have prostitution and all pornography popular…  But slowly more opportunities are now being given for women to be powerful, to get out of the old bondage; fighting men to get university degrees, claiming her place in the home, voting, authoring and leading, etc. etc.

But the truth is, power is politics, and power only brings misery, contention, competition, inferiority and superiority, and the rest of the nonsense.  And in relationships the struggle for power only brings suffering and confusion, it has nothing to do with love and everything to do with fear–i.e., Who is better??  Who is right??  Who does more in the relationship??  Who gets his or her way more??…  This is an ugly state.  This should not be so.  And if love is to exist then this must change; for love cannot be reduced to power politics, thus you are killing love…

Life is relationship, and relationship is love; this means life is only happily experienced through relationship, and the only true relationship is based on love, not attachment or fear of any kind.  So, take politics out of love, because a relationship will slowly die if you bring politics into it; and, if all the relationships you have die, then your happy experience of life will die as well…  Perhaps you can’t see this right now, but it is the way humanity works, the way deeper into things that most people take for granted…

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.

Have you seen the child in man…??

quote-it-is-you-men-who-make-war-we-who-have-children-would-never-make-it-why-should-a-woman-phyllis-bottome-116-59-18


Have you seen the child in man…??  He likes to feel always strong and powerful, serious and deep in thought, always trying to fix everything, always desiring to compete with others and display his own wit; but, at the same time, he is a major mamma’s boy, a cry baby who’s deeply broken, he plays endlessly, he acts rudely and carelessly, he gets lost in the crowd of the other men who lost their inner child, he makes women cry with his false childish behaviors, he seeks understanding but he hides his emotions from women.  He seeks Enlightenment and love, but he does not accept his darkness and does not understand love.


Have you seen the child in man…??  I have lost it and life needs this great innocence, this powerful path to be.  The artist behind the brute.  The art behind the blemishes.  He shows his art but his emotions are not there.  He lacks something.  He lacks life…  Good women try to teach him, reach his emotions, smack sense into him, plug into his heart, but the beautiful child who plays endlessly and tries to seize true love, true creativity in play, is gone.  Have you seen him…??


When the stars shine.  Yes.  When the stars shine and the music is slow and sweet he runs away, hides under his own roughness, under his own selfish and ignorant wit.  So what is this man if not a coward…??…  As in pottery, he is clay to be molded and shaped into a great man; such man who understands that life is love and that love is life, and that opening your emotions is reaching life and allowing love to flow… to expand…  His very soul was entered through divine breath by the male-feminine Creator to evolve the first human of three fourth water and rest of the earth elements, but as he developed somehow the child in him was lost…  So, have you seen the child in man…??

The Well.

Days can be sad, cloudy, stormy, and you might even feel rejected.  Lightning and thunder can come down on you and rob you of the things you love the most.  The eternal night can swiftly cover your dreams in obscurity.  No one really owns anything in this world.  What do you think you own…??–your husband??–your wife??–your kids??–your career??–the way you look now??–the art you have created??–your knowledge??…  What do you own really which cannot be taken away from you…??…


What if you were walking one day, by yourself, quietly absorbed by the beautiful trees smiling at you, rejoicing in the warm sunlight bathing your skin, the caress of the refreshing breeze gently grazing your cheeks, the smooth and short grass blades tickling your naked feet as you walk….??  What if your mind was empty right then and there…??  What if everything you knew–i.e., the relationships, the things you bought, the age you have, the anxiety finances bring, and all the rest of your past memories–was all gone at that moment, but you only know you are alive because you feel your quiet breath passing your nostrils and because you experience the divine nature around you…?? 

…And the rabbit hole goes even deeper…  Then you grow so meditative, so blissful, so conscious of this wonderful freedom, that you bump into a well.  You observe with the same meditation, the well looks magical, you have never seen anything like this before; there is a whole new world down there, where nature is as beautiful as it is where you are.  Thoughts pop up into your mind to come back, but you ignore them.


So, you come down the well and discover that it is even more beautiful, the rabbit hole goes deeper and you discover many wonderful things with your divine curiosity now:  Water is clean and refreshing, air is even better because is pure energy, it is always day here without any storm, your wrist watch stops and you realize there is no time here; then you discover some more, deep into it caves full of light and gold.  You want to live there, you feel refreshed, like new; but you have to face the night above, you have to go back to work, to your relationships which are not so good right now.  But you know you can comeback to the well.  And so you go up, and is night, and you can see the fantastic world of the well in your mind, you keep it in your heart.  Nothing robs you of that.  You really own it.  No one can take it away.. 

This is true meditation…

Mature love.

 

Does a mature and wise person “fall in love” or becomes love…??  Isn’t there a difference…??  Doesn’t “fall in love” imply a process of blind possession or slavery where you lose all conscience for the other person…??–But is this true love though…??


As I see it, a truly mature person, a wiser individual no matter the age, sees through all this pitiful and childish nonsense, and so he does not fall in love because he deeply understands that true love is an essence of beautiful and rich freedom which expands and does not own or become slave to another.  Why would you fall in love and lose reality of what love truly is…??

000ce3752fe25a135ecc3c6e6fe94267

No, the wiser man knows what the heart of this connection we call love is, so he raises himself in love, he is love and thus fills himself and surrounds himself with this divine substance which wraps around whoever and whatever is in contact with him.

But the ignorant world has created this concept of falling in love, “falling;” as if love is a dangerous thing which bashes you on the head and you lose all conscience and freedom, you fall and you become a slave to another.  And so, now you are lost because your very identity is found in this other person who “made you” fall, you are obsessed with this person, you belong to this person and this person must belong to you, so there is jealousy, fear of losing this person, and the popular and egoistical belief/a threat of a “broken heart.”

Broken heart…??  What sort of ignorant idiocy is this?! … But the heart is never broken, because love is not a thing; and because true love in reality does not emanate from your heart muscle.  You may feel your heart beat fast, but that is just your ego/your desire making your heart go like that.  Love is literally the energy inside each cell of your body; thus, when you are truly in love, beyond desire and attachment, you feel it in your whole body like beautiful and harmonious symphony which gives you warmth, clarity of mind, courage, and freedom–and not any fear or confusion whatsoever…  Have you ever experienced this…??

And that is why two mature and wise persons in love help each other stay free, they become one because, even though there are two human beings now, love is an essence which penetrates all flesh and bone and so link each other by the energy inside each cell of their individual bodies.  Such divine energy which is attracted to each other like a moth to a flame.  There are no boundaries of matter, space or time in this deep and wonderful experience.

I dance with a friend…

Why do people waste their whole lives thinking about an “end”…??  Why can’t you see that life has no end…??  Why can’t you just let go of your fear and dance along this beautiful piece of art sounding in your human experience…??

Society, your family, your traditions, your beliefs, religions, books, have poisoned you.  Yes, they have cemented in you the firm illusion of an end because your body decays with time; but you still experience your energy– Does it decay as well…??  Does the energy inside the atom die…??  Or just the shell of the atom dies…?? …  But what you fear is not death itself, but it is losing your things, your physical relationships, your possessions, your positions in society–that’s what you fear.  Attachment is like shackles to you, such is a prison which does not let your consciousness elevate; thus, your creativity dies slowly and your fear grows…

Life is all there is, like love is all there is, like beauty is all there is; however, the ego, the lower consciousness in man, divides life with the thought of death, poisons love in man with fear, and makes beauty pleasant or unpleasant through culture, tradition, and personal experience.

1413392243_8688_720x420_f1
But there is no death in reality, just the loss of your ego and its attachments to matter.  Reality, just like sleep is your real state of existence where there are no boundaries and your spirit can soar freely and without impositions from your ego, is the true essence of life… of you.
All life is then, is a glorious dance…  And you must befriend the concept of death to lose all fear…

“I dance with a friend...”

Every day I observe his beautiful face,
He whispers my great value and beauty:
He utters divine words with perfect grace,
How I must not fear him in my daily duty.
“Would you dance with me…??” he says.
“Would you be my partner in this dance…??”
Love within me grows as I to him confess,
As we are joined in the eternal romance.

Yes, I dance with a friend and I am in love!
My profound dreams reveal his true heart.
Freedom becomes my human form as glow.
My spirit truly soars as all fear does part.
He tells me that my consciousness was ill,
For the conditioned brain had poisoned me;
He gave me health, conscience, good will,
For now I see life as The One eternal sea.

                                                                                    ~ Asa.

Deceiving yourself.

What is deceiving another….??  What is the origin of the desire to deceive another…??  Is deception born out of love, confidence, and understanding…??
What is the human mind if not the playground of the ego, where joy, misery, desire, fear, deception, and the rest emerge and pull on you…??  All desire of lying or deceiving another is born out of fear–i.e., fear of a particular reaction, fear of losing attachment, fear of unpopularity, etc..  Now, this ignorant and misguided behavior means we are allowing fear to lead us into our relationships, into our sense of identity, and in general into life; hence, we are blocking love and understanding from entering our own minds, and so we have found a false sense of security to overwhelm our minds and to rule our behaviors.
imagesu
In the way of lies and deception you are not allowing the truth to flow and you break the bonds of any relationship. You hurt others emotionally. And soon you hurt yourself.

And, of course, one cannot really know oneself if the mind is being guided by fear; for one can only know oneself if love fills the mind, thus if one truly loves oneself truth will guide one’s behaviors.  That is, behaviors with oneself and with another are guided by love and understanding, so one feels confident and there is no reason to lie or deceive.  Can you see then why deceiving another is the same as deceiving yourself…??

When you interact, communicate, do anything with another, your behaviors are guided either by love or fear; thus, if you form the idea in your mind to deceive another then you are deceiving yourself because fear is your master.  And when fear is your master, then all the anger, the frustration, the lying, the misconduct you brought upon another, stays also with you, in your own mind, stressing you and agitating your mind, and soon it becomes your persona and it shapes your daily thinking pattern in all of life’s aspects.

“You can’t know your real mind as long as you deceive yourself.” ~ Bodhidharma; Buddhist monk, Shaolin Kung Fu master, first Chinese patriarch, and writer.

Give them freedom…

Do you understand relationships…??  What is the point of honest communication…??  Do you bring freedom to your relationships…??

In human relationships the key element is honest communication, as we all know, as we all try to become better human beings in life; however, quite often one gets taken by this obsession for winning, for coming out ahead, for proving ourselves to the other, thus the ego takes over and a communication based on love and understanding vanishes.  This calls for self-reflection and less pride; so, this calls for more rich silence, less talking.

29543143_440428179723883_2314169880494595611_n
The ego likes to talk and show off, defend itself and seek security; but the true heart of love is silent, wise, listens because it knows in silence there is true freedom.  And what is love…??  Is it a word…??  Is it talking and arguing…??  No.  True love is an essence which lives in the rich silence; in the rich silence of listening, in the rich silence of holding hands and walking together, in the rich silence of staring deeply into each other’s eyes… without a sign of ego… without trying to fix anything… without empty words all the time…


And that is exactly what one must bring into a relationship, into an honest communication with another, such freedom to liberate the mind of another and make them feel valued, appreciated to allow themselves to be heard by us, to express themselves freely and without any contention or threat.

This is love and understanding, to show true care in what someone else thinks and feels; because sometimes talking is of the ego and vanity itself, because sometimes to be quiet and listen is to guide our relationships into new, vaster horizons.

“Much talking is the cause of danger.  Silence is the means of avoiding misfortune. The talkative parrot is shut up in a cage.  Other birds, without speech, fly freely about.”  ~ Saskya Pandita; Tibetan spiritual leader, Buddhist scholar, and writer.
