What you owe to yourself.

 

expressing-feelings-and-emotions-3-vital-reasons-for-letting-your-feelings-out-13-728

I knew someone who used to keep how he really felt bottled up inside, he was filling himself with all these unexpressed feelings and thoughts; but at some point he would feel overwhelmed due to all this toxic storage deep inside, and so like a balloon with too much air he would end up bursting into anger and anxiety.

This system of behavior was really bad for his own character development, for his mind and his overall health; and, furthermore, this really damaged his relationships and destroyed greater opportunities in life–i.e., his financial and societal opportunities, as his understanding of family values and tolerance of himself and of others.

And the worst, he would lose it whenever he would burst into these unexpressed emotions, his mind would get so angry and anxious that all love and understanding would leave him.  He would lose himself in that moment.

He would really hate himself afterwards though, because he was a really nice guy with really lots of love buried deep to share with others.  He just did not know the right way to share this love.

And this can happen to any of us, if there is no self-awareness.  Self-awareness means in this case to know that you must express yourself to free yourself.

You have to share your thoughts and feelings with people; do not keep them inside just because you think they are negative or because you think people won’t like to hear them.

Be honest, but not cruel.  Transform your words and feelings accurately into direct truth.  Speak your mind, be firm in your personal convictions and loyal to yourself.  You owe that much to yourself.

And you also owe that much to others if you want to walk the ethics-and-morals path, and if you want your character to develop mightily in your life.

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.

Transmuted by silence.

 

43901ce81420a62cb9c63d53a800b034--silence-language

 

Silence is the deepest language, because through silence we avoid spilling the rushing ego.  Silence can connect us deeper than words.  Silence at the right moments can have a healing and confident effect for us and for others, because it is words that hurt ourselves or damage others most of the time; so, through silence we are avoiding impatient and upset messages in our words.

Anger, stress, envy, and any form of anxiety can really transform one’s words into knives which cut deep, and this may hurt the relationships in our lives by losing the trust and respect from others, and even the respect we have for ourselves.

The thoughts behind words must be carefully screened, analyzed before we form any ideas with them.  “Why am I about to respond this??”  “Does this really make sense or am I just tired and angry??”  Conscience and reason before any rash words and behaviors.

Being aware of what we say and do must become our everyday living, because if we are to remain positive and build better relationships and better futures then we must be truly authentic, impeccable with our expression.

Our soul, our will to go on in the face of challenges, must be fed by ethics and morals, by integrity in all we think, say and do.  This attitude of the better human being makes us whole, healthy, and able to connect with others and with ourselves with full honesty.

All thought and word not based on truth, due to an anxious and stressed mind, must be transmuted by silence; thus, we must not say anything we might regret in the heat of the moment.

Better to wait so the nervousness and the anxiety can leave our minds, to thus later express ourselves better, more poised, with understanding and truth, and without the influence of a busy life.

The Golem.

After saying certain prayers and observing certain fast days, a Polish Jew made the figure of a man from clay, and when he pronounced the miraculous “Shemhamphoras” (“the name of God”) over it, the clay figure came to life.  He couldn’t speak, but he understood well what was said or commanded to him. 

This was The Golem, and his new master used him as a servant to do all sorts of chores.  On his forehead, he wrote “emeth” (“truth”).  Every day, this Golem regained weight, incredible muscle mass with strength and rapid stature or height; and this happened as a result of all the food and drink his master gave him.

The Golem was then becoming far bigger and stronger than any other human, and obviously towering over his own master.  For fear of him growing so big and strong one of the letters should be erased, so that the first letter is erased and we are left with “meth” (“he is dead”); whereupon he collapses and turns to dust or clay again. 

But this Polish Jew hadn’t done this because he had grown fond or used to his Golem, and now the creature was too tall and strong to reach his forehead and erase the first letter.  So, in terror he ordered his servant Golem to take off his boots, thinking that when he bent down he could reach his forehead and erase the letter. 
And indeed he did just that, he successfully erased the letter leaving just “meth”; however, the whole heap of clay fell on the Jew as the creature melted and crushed him.

50012421_614541218979244_3083158203467300864_n

He had gotten used to his Golem, even grown fond of the creature, and so it happened that he crushed him.  Has he crushed you yet…??  Has he brought you health problems yet…??  Has he altered your moods and ways of thinking yet…??  Stress, frustrations, anger, beliefs and expectations are your Golem, are they not??

All this intellectual process of overthinking and creating more problems, worries and expectations, always wanting to be in control–all this brings down your immune system, affects your nervous system, and it distorts the way you think and even feel.  Can you even see reality with your mind so clouded and darkened…??

Quite often, this Golem is left in your mind, nay, in your whole being, just growing taller and stronger, heavier and more intense, just to wreak havoc and poison you without your awareness.  Then, one day, you realize you are depressed and unhappy, and you feel a failure and emotionally reactive to anything which you experience.

So perhaps you should see the Golem you carry before this happens and you get crushed.

The Father of ALL Commandments.

10-commandments-funny-moses
The world, its societies, its religions, has taught you that the purpose of this life is to do for others, to “go the extra mile for others”, to “put the other cheek”, to make others feel loved and happy; however, this is very simplistic and ignorant, sanctimonious and founded on religious beliefs.
commandments_moses_health_care_1261105

You, as an individual, as a human being, experience love and happiness through your mind, thus your mind (including your whole body) being the sacred temple you must worship and which you must take care above all other things; therefore, your attention must not go to others, must not go to the world, it must stay in your own mind and working on itself in order to create love and happiness as real experience for yourself.

ten_commandments_2938205

If your attention is directed outwardly then you will neglect your own temple.  And even, to love others and bring happiness to others you must be and feel whole yourself, which is to keep your attention inwardly; and now, once you are truly feeling whole, you may help others and give your example.  The only great mistake or “sin” is to worry and be depressed for the world while you neglect your own mind–i.e., your source for freedom, love and happiness.

Forget about the stupid commandments invented by average men in The Bible, because these commandments may only be acted as true if you are whole yourself first; thus, the first and foremost commandment, The Father of ALL Commandments, is to “TAKE CARE AND WORK ON YOUR OWN MIND”–i.e., which is loving yourself and the divinity of your own temple.

This first and most important commandment is what shall truly give you capacity to fulfill all the other commandments.  This first and most important commandment is what shall keep you self-aware, healthy, in love and in bliss to experience the best life–i.e., to create the best life.  And this first and most important commandment is what brings true conscience and moral values to your very own human existence.

Beware The Seductive Whore.

i
Finding the hidden truths, allowing your conscience to be illumined, detaching yourself from people and old views and beliefs, must be the goal of every moment you are alive; for that is indeed the great purpose of being alive and developing in this life, and let NO ONE tell you otherwise and sell you their ignorant deceit.  And that is exactly what people around you will seek to tell you, and that is also what any institution in your society will seek to tell you; and that is, that you should worship Jesus, or Buddha, or such and such prophet or priest, or the scriptures, or your hard-earned money, or even people you love.

But paradise, truth, love in its divine essence, is not meant for ANY KIND of worshiper; for worshipers are worshipers because they are attached to the ignorant philosophy of superiority and inferiority.  The worshiper feels inferior to the worshiped, so the ego creates this illusion which creates a brutal duality; therefore, inferiority and superiority are born, the victim seeks a liberator (whether another human being or an object), the slave seeks someone or something to free him.  This process of worshiping confuses the mind, hides the truth, buries the Innermost inside you under thick layers of beliefs and under thick layers of fear/victimization.

The problem is that when you feel like a victim you feel depressed and frustrated, chained to situations and to a very crude human nature where you do not see a way out; hence, the distortion of reality, the loss of truth, and the dictatorship of fear in you.  This feeling of inferiority in you is something that society–its religions, its politics, its academic education, its commercial agendas, etc.–wants desperately, because when you are held hostage by confusion and fear then your mind is naive and easily corrupted and controlled–so you buy unnecessary and unhealthy items, you seek worshiping religions and men of nice titles, you listen to any garbage music they make without caring what it does to your mind, etc. etc.

The only freedom is in questioning everything, in dissecting all they give you, because in this your mind will expand and find truth; and in this you will leave the seductive darkness of attachment–i.e., attachment to people, attachment to ideologies, attachment to institutions, attachment to ALL material things.

 

48266720_595534647546568_3212795701033435136_n
To worship has been distorted and made something stupid and vulgar, as men and women take objects like money or politics or religions and also ideals like the scriptures and things which man says and become seekers of this; however, to truly worship is to seek your inner self through health and applying ideas and philosophies which can purify your mind and heart, so your actions in the world are of higher morality as a better human being.  Truth is always the goal, not the feeding of the ego through comforting beliefs and ideas; follow the truth wherever it leads you, destroy your illusions, seek The Kingdom of God/Illumination of your conscience.  This indeed we can call the true art of worship.

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.

Slave to existence.

Desire, and the roots of desire, is a big topic for all of us, even for those who do not consciously see it as a big topic; because desire is everything you are as a human being, it is how you can accomplish things, it is how you live day by day:  You desire to keep the passion alive in your relationship.  You desire to become a better person.  You desire to have more knowledge.  You desire to better your finances.  You desire to love yourself more.  And the substance of desire moves us forward from one minute to the next, acting consciously and subconsciously all throughout our lives.

Desire then, being the root of our day by day interactions, thoughts, feelings, fuel for doing everything, is also our downfall or destruction when it becomes too much desire/obsession:  You obsess over your financial situation.  You obsess over sex.  You obsess over knowledge.  You obsess over your appearance and your intelligence.  All this is desire uncontrolled, desire ruling you instead of you ruling it.  So, desire, the magic fuel of our very humanness, the heart of good deeds and of evil deeds as well, can become an obsession if unguarded, if there is no self-awareness.  It can enslave you with and without your knowledge, can it not…??

And why would you say that is…??  Because desire is the very root of existence.  In the story of Adam and Eve, Adam disobeys God and tempted by Eve eats of the forbidden fruit; so because of desire Adam and Eve disobeyed God – an unbalanced desire brought this.  Desire is then good, it is the fuel behind great things; however, it is desire unguarded that which destroys man, because desire unguarded brings great anxiety, uncontrolled passion, rebellious obsession, and all agitation to the mind.

The Alchemist practices…

In the recesses of your mind you may find yourself, you may see the truth without egoistical activity; all you have to do is watch intently, inquire with attention and depth, explore beyond those thoughts which pop up and which you sometimes follow blindly.  With earnest and eager attention, with a sacred proclivity into you, you must guard yourself and see your reactions, see your thoughts and what they tell you.  As a human being you have been endowed with self-awareness; and self-awareness is alchemy, it is to watch yourself to see your own mistakes and stubbornness, it is to watch your very nakedness in nature, because the ego dresses up thoughts as true, as lies, as righteous philosophies and concepts–and you must see through this thick veil, see the nature of God behind your pompous thoughts of man.

No matter how old you are, where you are located in the globe, or what you have lived in life, you must be able to access your own mind with self-awareness.  See yourself as you are, without masks, without lies and secrets; beyond beliefs, beyond what you have read and what they have told you.  Learn to see and read the messages in what you tell yourself and others, because quite often people just think, say and do without actually knowing what their thoughts, words and actions truly mean to themselves and to someone else: they get into so many difficult situations and into so much suffering that way, and all because they ignore their main and most important endowment–i.e., self-awareness.

The Alchemist practices Alchemy in everything and anything he does; and so, there is no chance of egoistical activity because he guards himself, day and night, as his lifestyle and higher nature.  He walks in self-awareness, which means his attention is drawn inwardly; and people, and things, and situations then, do not affect him because his attention remains inwards at all times.  It is easy then to master yourself and not suffer attachment when you practice daily self-awareness, because this is the heart of Alchemy and the key to open the doors to godliness in you.

Strength. Courage. Passion.

You do not need to show who you are supposed to be to the world, because to do this is to fill your mind with fear–fear of not being liked or respected by others if you do not meet their expectations, fear of being less than others, etc. etc.
“A Great Man is Always Willing to Be Little.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson.

A great man, or woman, gets his/her strength from the magic within; and there is no need to seek displays of arrogance, violence, passions, and all egoistical activities, outwardly.  All must be self-discovered, worshiped in oneself; for all eternity lies in the content of our very cells, of our very atoms, and nothing lies outside it.  And what happens if you seek love and happiness, strength and courage, confidence and resolution, in outward activities, in your interaction with others, in displays of any kind out there…??  You fill your mind with lies to tell yourself, and feelings which won’t last; thus, you become attached, addicted to these outward displays.  Because they make you feel part of the collective, part of something meaningful, they give you some pleasure your ego holds as precious.  But is it really precious…??

It seems to me that life is a flowing river, rich and never-stopping waters, always moving and bringing change–whether your mind labels this change as right or wrong, fair or unfair.  And because you must flow with life, you must become life, as one must become one with one’s partner when truly in love with that someone, then you have to discover life within yourself by self-inquiry, by inner contemplation.  Courage, Strength, Passion, are natural “qualities” of God, of your soul, of your very being; and they cannot be found in the ego by the display of your ignorance, to be liked by others and to show your worth, your beauty, your uniqueness to the world….  The prayer, the worship, the meditation, the seeking, the discovery–all goes inside, it is created inside, and none of it outside.  And whosoever understand this in his heart (not solely in the intellect!), understands life itself then…
