The Secret.

Amidst the turmoils of the world, of your everyday life, there is need to be strong; but this strength must come from within you, your only place for refuge which is eternal, unchanging, truthful. Beyond the pettiness of the ego which always wants to compete and win over the ignorance of others, you must find yourself, free yourself and get the energy you need to face your day. This must be your temple, and so you have to honor it by making a daily practice of visiting these eternal waters in you–i.e., waters of youth, waters of true alchemy and high conscience on which you can always rely. This is the secret to be yourself, strong, unique, confident; thus to be love and happiness by making it a daily practice, to visit your inner self, quiet your thinking and connect with your emotions.

“The secret.”

Beautiful women wonder where my secret lies,
For I ever rise over the fools which begin fights.
Wise men come to me for pleasant conversation,
For I give them deepness without frustration.

And the secret has existed for ages and ages;
The common mind had erased it from the pages.
It is in the fire of the human soul where you find
Confidence, strength, the love which does bind.

Can you allow it to speak in a retired place
Surrounded by peace and harmony…??
Can you quiet your thoughts in the midst
Of your mental storms fearlessly…??

That is the secret: To discover your place of love.
That is the key: To free yourself and fly like a dove.
To be strong is to rise over your own ego and fear.
To be strong is to always find within you good cheer.

The Path…??

Okay, guys. This is the piece on which I am currently working. Not too sure of the title yet, as I am still working on finishing touches here and there to convey a deeper message. I woke up to surrealistic paintings; something which makes you think and stirs your emotions at the same time, depth and substance.

This will be one of the paintings I will be offering with their prints on my new website, here, soon.

Can you tell me what it means to you…??

Explore your very being…

Today I wanted to show you some of my paintings, because I was reminding myself this morning how important is to be creative and have an outlet–a source of your own where you can recharge and express yourself. Whatever that is for you, learn to be creative in whatever you do, as simple and silly you think it might be; work at it, use the talents and intelligence you have to create, to inspire yourself and others, because that is where the key to being unique is found.

People tend to often live monotonous lives, and lives full of frustration and stress; the job, the kids, the relationship, the friends, the engagements, the idea I have to work on, the traveling, the rent. But what about yourself…?? What about discovering yourself from the inside instead of engaging on activities solely on the outside…?? And people cannot find clarity and freedom in their lives, and this is because clarity and freedom come to your mind whenever this one is stress-free and calmed, peaceful and in love with yourself or with the person you are; thus free to be yourself and not follow a set pattern given by society.

To discover yourself you must then open yourself to new frontiers, to new paradigms, to new ways of exploring yourself. So you can discover love and happiness in you as a trait of your very being…

“Everlasting beauty.”

“Samadhi.”

“Set adrift.”

To the top!

What is the composition of life–in its spiritual, mental, and physical aspects…?? Life is learning to find a balance in these three aspects, isn’t it…?? And if you do not find this balance, or embrace one more than the other, what happens…?? Have you really thought about this…??

Success, love, happiness, freedom to be yourself–these are all one and the same, because being successful means to love what you do, and loving what you do means being happy, and being happy means you taste freedom to be truly yourself. But by “love what you do” I do not mean the popular significance society preaches in magazines and on TV ads–i.e., make money and be popular, study and seek something which is famous in the industry or in the marketplace, be like them or follow in their footsteps. By “love what you do” I mean discover yourself as a person (no matter age or origin), if you make a mistake welcome that mistake and keep on going, pay attention to anything that you do, and be brave enough to love and explore every little detail of yourself and of life in all aspects–spiritual, mental, physical, financial. This is balance, isn’t it…?? When you do all this you are truly successful, right…??

But in order to feel successful and experience all these wonderful things in you–love, happiness, freedom, etc.–you must discipline your mind, you must order your mind and clean it. If your room has clothing all over the floor, and dirt, and food stains, and whatnot, it would be very difficult to feel yourself clean, sleep in there, and find what you really need in the mess; so, what you do is be disciplined, you clean it and order all the items thrown. Life is exactly the same: You are successful by ruling your mind, by disciplining your mind; for that is its real purpose, your mind is just a tool for you to find all these wonderful things I have mentioned in the beginning. By allowing yourself to realize this, your mind becomes more open to be at your service; and you get to use it and manage it to your advantage, to be your true self and experience all success.

While you do this and work on yourself, your example guides others who do not rule their minds but who let their minds rule them… This is how you illumine your path, as well as someone else’s…

The eagle who didn’t know itself.

Post author By thegodwithinblog
Post date July 15, 2018
No Comments on The eagle who didn’t know itself.

“In a forest an eagle lived on a tree, and it had built a nest wherein to lay its eggs; there the eagle would hatch its eggs all throughout the day. Under the same tree there lived a hen, and this particular hen had also laid eggs during the same period when the eagle had laid its own eggs. One day, while the eagle had gone for hunting, a bear climbed up the tree to eat the eagle’s eggs. The bear had finished three of the eggs soon, when the fourth one slipped off its hands and fell into the hen’s nest; on returning, the eagle could not find her eggs, and so feeling terribly upset she decided to leave the place.

The hen which lived under the tree saw the eagle’s egg by the side of her eggs, so she felt pity on the eagle’s egg and decided to hatch it as well. After a few days, the hen’s chicks hatched. The eagle’s chick hatched, too. And the hen would feed all the chicks, including the eagle’s chick, as if it were her own. Soon the chicks began to grow. The young chicks would listen to their mother’s sounds and try to imitate her. The eagle’s chick also picked up the hen’s sounds, because that is all it heard.

The chicks would all play together and make lots of noise. Within no time, the hen’s chicks, as well as the eagle’s chick, grew up to their full size. The eagle’s chick never realized that it was an eagle and not a hen; so, considering itself a hen, the eagle would eat hen’s food, would walk and run like other hens and would make sounds like hens. The eagle never learnt to fly like other eagles and lived its whole life like a hen only.”

Your parents were probably loving and did their best, like mine did also; however, this is not enough to illumine your conscience and wake up from the veil cast by society, specially as an adult who needs this illumination and wisdom in his/her own life. As the little eagle growing up as a hen in the above-mentioned story, you might be still surrounded by people who are weaker of mind and ignorant of the deceit of their own egos, and you must see this yourself; for you probably feel sometimes confused, overwhelmed, lacking confidence, mentally weak to do something because this is your environment, your mental program, and the people with whom you interact daily.

Growing up and experiencing this is surely painful if you believe it, if you believe you are the hen instead of the mighty eagle; so, as an adult it is extremely important that you choose your situations and the people to whom you give your time and your energy. Because, after all, your mind will absorb the influence of your environment and of the people around you–their moods, their characters, their ideas, their intentions. This energy will affect you, whether you want it or not. So, choose carefully…

To begin is now!

Truth cannot be known and experienced by the individual if ears and attention fall upon society and its governments, religion and its priests and false teachers. There is no self-inquiry, people do not challenge the status quo and what schools and society preach and shove in front of them; and this seemingly harmless situation is exactly what clouds the minds of people--why people does not know true love, why people cannot find happiness in their own lives, why wars and all hatred exist, and why confusion and ignorance rule the mind of the weak majority.

Lies and egoistical views are covered and taken as truth: People eat whatever and as much as they want, meanwhile illnesses fill hospitals and thieves in white coats fill their pockets over and over again telling lies and holding the truth from the same sick people; people rush into relationships without knowing what true love is, while following the example of the ignorant crowd out there; religious people preach love and God, but when they are at home they curse at each other and also support wars and prejudice; and so on and so forth. This is not government officials only. This is not religious leaders only. This is not other countries only. This is not them only. This is you! You are society, you are humanity, you are the world. You blame everybody but yourself, don’t you…?? You start by you, because you must change.

Unless you never become violent, mentally or physically; unless you never argue and curse others; unless you mediate each day and control your ego; unless you eat right and do some exercise; unless you absolutely know and live with your mind full of true love all the time; unless you are the wisest sage. Yes, you know you must change and stop your own ego from growing; and so, you have to find the truth within yourself, such is the truth behind everything you do–behind your uncontrolled and erratic eating, behind all your ways of loving, behind your lust, behind your greed, behind the prejudice and jealousy you feel, and the rest.

The majority does not know truth in the world, their blinding idiocy has no bounds, no shame, no rationality; but in order to love and be happy you must know and live the truth within you, you must discover this for yourself, lest you remain in this blinding idiocy of the masses for your entire life.

Sacred Birth!

The birth of intelligence–and by intelligence I do not mean knowledge from books and from society, not memory or anything others have told you–is the most miraculous thing, it is freedom and true love; for this intelligence is emotional intelligence and the curiosity to inquire into anything and everything for yourself, and in this lies the very essence of awakening.

Of course, this birth of intelligence is suppressed and even denied by all society, specially religions, because with intelligence you begin to see through the veil they have cast upon you and you stop following others; thus you become an individual and not part of the pitiful herd, you do not buy everything, you do not covet everything they put in front of you, you realize that the truth lies in yourself and not in scriptures, and you see the greed and power-mongering in all politicians and also in members of a religion.

You are dangerous to society now, because our society, even with the many good things it offers, has been built on deceit and corruption; and all to keep people collective and belonging to the same group, obedient and chained to the same views and understanding. For if true intelligence is born in you, then you become powerful enough to stand alone, on your own, confident, and so bring out the truth unto yourself and unto others, thus illumination and rebellion lights up the conscience of the bunch. Can you see how intelligence can really open the eyes of the people and bring about clarity and individuality…??

What if you were to become curious about anything and everything…?? What if instead of following your family, your traditions, your cultures, the books and articles you read, your religions, you were to wake up and follow your own experiences based on truth and not in the lies your ego tells you every day…?? Perhaps, if you did this with patience and honesty, you too will find true love and bliss within yourself, the cure to your loneliness, to your insecurities, and to all your frustrations; as you feel this greater intelligence bathing each cell in your body.

God-750x576 — The birth of intelligence is the sacred birth to discover. Life is meant for you to discover this sacred birth of intelligence, where you are guided by intuition and by higher knowing instead of by your ego and your intellect full of books and words from others.

Discover yourself.

What is it that keeps you frustrated and bitter in some situations in your life…?? Why is it that you are anxious and easily manipulated into anger and all sorts of distractions from the people around you and the media–thus from society…?? You pay attention to others and follow what your family, your friends, your religions, your traditions have taught you, don’t you...?? Are you truly free this way…??

Finding yourself, discovering your unique values and shaping them into great behaviors which bring true acceptance and love into your life is exactly why you are here, on earth, endowed with your physical mind and body. Careers, money, beliefs, religiousness, family traditions, and others, might be important to you–and that goes with each person’s views. But, no matter the age you have, the gender you are, the place where you live, you are you and not what others expect from you or what society says you should be.

What keeps you frustrated and anxious, reactive and always complaining and arguing, is not the situations or the people but your mind and the discipline you allow it to have; thus, the discipline you must allow your mind to have is the attention inwardly directed, because when your attention is directed inwardly then you have no desire to focus on the things that stress you outwardly and you are not distracted by what is around you–even if people are not loving and friendly around you. You must discover this by finding your unique values and talents in anything and in everything you do–in mopping the floors, in reading or studying, in your job, in the small details of your relationships, etc. etc.

If you do this, you will explore yourself, illumine yourself truly, and you will discover that life is these moments; opposite to this, society tells us that life is the big things like a career which gives you good money and position, and also things like getting married and having a bunch of kids–all lies (which might have some importance, but little at best) which take you to forget about yourself and the small activities in life.

And it is in the small activities where you find the eternal values and higher awareness to discover yourself, and so when you truly discover yourself your attention falls inwardly; thus, self-love grows and nothing bothers you anymore, because you are now focused on yourself where only true love and freedom to be unique fills your mind–meaning that your mind has no place for stress, anxiety, or anger anymore.

Where is freedom…??

What is the true revolution which actually changes the individual…?? Why is freedom a personal revelation, an inward revolution…??

The world, each group, every individual wears a mask and puts on a show of brutality or kindness, in this way we all desire to be truly free; because whether man consciously knows it or not, freedom is true love, true happiness, and we seek it in different ways. So humanity seeks love and happiness, they seek it through what they call rebellion or revolution, which in their sheer ignorance means defending the country through wars, through more variety in foods by killing and exploiting animals, through physiological and psychological highs with drugs of various types, through sex with different people, etc. etc.

They do this over and over again, they have been doing it for thousands of years and they haven’t learned yet; for they seek freedom outwardly through activities of the ego… But can the ego really give you love, happiness, freedom…??

No. It is an illusion of the senses. Freedom is an inward trait, an inward revolution, thus it is us without an ego-centered activity. Freedom is not putting on the show. Freedom is being you, embracing your flaws, discovering your unique talents, expressing your feelings and thoughts. Freedom is meditating on yourself daily, and not allowing others to pressure you into going to war, into hating, into eating the same the masses eat, into having the same fun the rabble has. For how can anyone really be free if you try to be liked by others, follow others, and reject your true self….?? Hell, this is sheer madness!

To free the world, to allow love into the world, to bring happiness into the world, first you allow yourself to experience this by having an inner revolution; and because you are the world, your consciousness brings this energy of freedom, of truth, into the world you see–i.e., it is a connectivity, a divine and wonderful link which unites our consciousness with the collective consciousness.

“To live is to find out for yourself what is true, and you can do this only when there is freedom, when there is continuous revolution inwardly, within yourself.” ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti.

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…
