The words, the beliefs, the traditions, the rituals--this is keeping you down, dumbing you down from self-knowledge, from the truth; find out who you are without all these enslaving arms.
So I just had two of these young missionaries knock at my door, and I truly felt for their confused minds which are overwhelmed by garbage others have told them, all this ignorance–like parrots they repeat scriptures and what they have been told since birth by the bishop and their own parents. Yes, they were like parrots standing on my door’s threshold, their mouths enslaved by the same words and phrases over and over again, and I could sense that they weren’t really thinking for themselves but they were reacting to a program forced in them and that now they were seeing as true.
So, they asked the usual: Why wouldn’t I go to church with them or why wouldn’t I come back…?? I looked at them. At that moment I really felt sad for their empty minds and I wished I had had the power to make them see through the veil like I can; but, however, I know that awakening and seeing through the veil is something which cannot be taught by mere words, and that illumination comes to your very conscience when you are ready–and, in the case of highly religious people, that awakening is extremely difficult to happen. Possible, as it happened to me, but extremely difficult; for most people live their entire lives without questioning themselves and the status quo of all society. God, true love, absolute peace, freedom–these are not even experienced by them, their minds following blindly their own imaginations and stubborn views. Are you one of these lost souls…??
What would it take for you to awaken and become illumined, not by my rebellious words here, not by any ancient scriptures or modern articles or man’s knowledge of any kind, but by your constant self-inquiry and serious meditation in all of life’s aspects…??
You don’t need a middleman. You don’t need to kneel in prayer. You don’t need to think about Jesus and Buddha and put them on a golden pedestal, and so become pitiful followers. You don’t need to be guided by family traditions, blind faith, and by any man, saint or not, who may appear to have the truth or some revelation. Aren’t you the Creation and the Creator…??–Or does your ignorant mind make distinction of the two…?? And if there is no difference, then you mustn’t look out there for a Creator. Isn’t God the very rich energy inside each atom making you, the world and all worlds…??
All you must do is see clearly, empty your own mind from your beliefs, traditions, and all words; for your own mind/your own ego is the one you call Satan or The Devil, or whatever is keeping you from actually experiencing all love and truth. Your confusion, your emptiness, your loneliness, your need to follow others and repeat their words like a parrot–this is your ego, and it will never allow you to be illumined or enlightened in this lower state of existence…
The words, the beliefs, the traditions, the rituals–this is keeping you down, dumbing you down from self-knowledge, from the truth; find out who you are without all these enslaving arms.
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.
Our human form is divine, our biology truly magical, and our science far deep into reality; so, if we truly care about ourselves and our higher states of conscious awareness we must study ourselves and discover the universal symbolisms and realities of our nature which dwell literally in us…
The Terminal Nerve (Nervus Terminalis in Latin), or cranial nerve zero, was discovered by German scientist Gustav Fritsch in 1878 in the brains of sharks. It was first found in humans in 1913. And a 1990 study has indicated that the terminal nerve is a common finding in the adult human brain. This nerve has much to do with pheromones and with the sexual energy or creative energy.
Now, how can being aware of this nerve help bring a deeper thought into our daily lives…?? One can certainly canalize this energy through conscious awareness of this nerve; a self-awareness, a deeper meditation instead of just following the biological pulling and blinding passions born out of the tyrannical ego. Daily one falls into temptations of many kinds–i.e., lust, greed, the pursuit of power, vanity over being right in arguments, etc.–and some of us even seem to ignore the fact that the human biology, the beautiful human form, is a magical map to a heavenly state, if we know how to tame ourselves and realize our way through the hell of our own animal instincts.
It is perfectly normal and healthy to be aware of who we are in the moment, with our greed, our lust, our anger, our stubbornness, and so on and so forth; for this is the root of hell which we must know and embrace, accept and love in ourselves in order to transmute or transform the energies of sex or creativity we all have throughout our own biological systems. Because if you seek self-awareness and higher states of consciousness, you must love all energies and transmute or guide yourself into heavenly shores of wisdom instead of just listening, or reading, others telling you about it, don’t you think…??
…Know yourself = Rule yourself...
“I believe when we’re able to fully own and express ourselves, we are able to tap into a creative power deeply rooted from our sexual energy – which is our creative energy. We’re so sexually loose, and also sexually strained. We don’t understand the creative power we have because we’re so busy using it in all the wrong ways – or worse, not using it at all.” ~ Lauryn Doll; motivational author, blogger, and public speaker.
Are you your name…?? Are you your appearance in the mirror…?? Do you know who you are by the people around you, by your relation to them, by your past with them, by the education you have, by your ideas…?? So, who are you…??
And the problem is that people seek their value, their identity, themselves, in what they do, in what others say, in their constant thinking, in the ideas and traditions, the beliefs and memories of a past. Constantly thinking thus makes one a slave of thoughts, such a mechanical thing bound to stress and anxiety, to many forms of confusion; consequently, man lives in frustration and confusion.
Most people walk around using their minds so much, and for so long, every day without breaks, that they actually believe they are what they think; so, whatever thought pops up, whatever feeling is created by their minds, they believe it is them, so they follow it, they praise it, they even receive instructions through it by God or by some “Heaven”, and thus they believe that truth is intellectual, rationalized, pondered and created by the mind.
The brain is under the powerful conditioning of its past, of society, of family, of what happened, of what was, of what other people did, of the beliefs and traditions instructed into it; thus, it is not a free mind, it cannot think clearly.
This is the greatest corruption of the world, the ignorance which creates wars, prejudice, animal killing, rape, political subterfuge, religious blindness, famine, etc. etc.
But is this the real human identity…?? Are human beings then just a thought of confusion, hatred, jealousy, pleasure, and the rest which brings agitation to the mind…?? … Not. To know yourself is to go beyond this petty surface, past the glamour and darkness of thinking; and so, the wonderful trip is without effort, because it is already there, who you are, what you are, inside you. You discover it for yourself… alone… in silence…
To bring peace and harmony to your daily thinking, to see beauty and truth in the world, to know yourself as the energy and light you could bring out into your life, you must observe yourself from within and not just look at the reflection on your mirror or hear your name being called by someone you love. To transcend, to see past your daily thoughts and feelings, you must discover the source of energy within you, the eternal one which gives birth to your whole humanity…
So, will you take the time and discover it for yourself…??
“Know yourself to improve yourself.” ~ Auguste Comte; French philosopher.
