What matters.

Once upon a time there was a world famous teacher in north-western India. It just so happened that one of the high class students had been named ‘Bad’ by his parents. One day he thought, “When I am told, ‘Come Bad’, ‘Go Bad’, ‘Do this Bad’, it is not nice for me or others. It even sounds disgraceful and unlucky.” So he went to the teacher and asked him to give him a more pleasant name, one that would bring good fortune rather than bad.

The teacher said, “Go my son, go wherever you like and find a more fortunate name. When you return, I will officially give you your new name.” The young man named Bad left the city, and traveled from village to village until he came to a big town. A man had just died and Bad asked what his name was. People said, “His name was Alive.” “Alive also died?” asked Bad. The people answered, “Whether his name be Alive or whether it be Dead, in either case he must die. A name is merely a word used to recognize a person. Only a fool would not know this!” After hearing this, Bad no longer felt badly about his own name, but he didn’t feel good about it either.

After leaving the town, along the roadside he met a man who had lost his way. He asked him, “What is your name? ” He replied, ‘My name is Tourguide.” “You mean to say that even a Tourguide has gotten lost?” asked Bad. Then the man said, “Whether my name be Tourguide or whether it be Tourist, in either case I have lost my way. A name is merely a word used to recognize a person. Only a fool would not know this!” Later, Bad came to a realization…

Now completely satisfied with his own name, Bad returned to his teacher and decided to keep his name and work on what mattered.

And working on what matters can be daunting, intimidating, right…?? People tends to be fearful and seek out there their purpose and meaning, because that is what they have been taught, by their families, by their religions, by their culture and societies overall. So they compare and work towards becoming this and that, they refuse to look within so they escape it–seek refuge and distraction from themselves in the world. But their identities are not a name, a mental program, a lifestyle they have been taught; and this is their weakness, they do not know themselves… And do you know yourself…??

Now, to know yourself is to accept yourself completely; and to accept yourself completely is to erase fears of being lonely, or of having losses, or of being left by others, or of making mistakes and being shamed by others. To see this and to cross that bridge. To embrace yourself fully by seeking all inside yourself, it is how your life and your situations become clear. And now there is no fear, because you know that fear inside you and you became one with it

Their business…

Some of you still belong to religions, I am sure of this, your minds still attached to these beliefs and dogmas designed by men with a selfish purpose–a purpose which has nothing to do with truth or God. In their sheer ignorance they believe they are spreading knowledge of truth and God. But if this is so, tell me, and tell yourself: Why there are so many religions dividing people…?? Why is there not peace in the world yet…?? Why have you still got problems in your life…?? Why is your mind still confused about God, love, peace…?? Why do you still seek answers…?? Why do you still suffer the slavery of your own ego…?? Why can you not ascend mentally yet…?? And the questions keep going forever…

All that religions have done was to take Enlightened men, like Jesus, like Buddha, and put them as the main attraction, as the mere figureheads of their blasphemy; they mock these Enlightened men by using their names on their garbage institutions which do not really teach you to be enlightened like they were–they do not help you see your own ego and wake up from the dream. Because they live in the dream as well, and if you found a way to see beyond the dream you would rise up and become free; and freedom of thought, self-discovery–that is not good for your religions business. And you do understand religions are a business, like the business of foods or houses…?? Religions deal with your hopes, dreams, desires to know love and God and truth–they sell you all these, and trust that you are ignorant enough to buy from them. Are you still buying from them, or have you woken up…??

Because religions are institutions created by the ego of man. Religions want control over the masses, to grow the institution, to create a legacy, to rule over all activities of man, to amass material wealth through not paying taxes and getting free money and gifts from members/from faithful but ignorant followers. But God, love, truth, peace–these are not found in the ego of man, no institution can actually give you these; hence religions cannot either. These can only be discovered in man’s soul, by himself, through aloneness, through meditation, through self-discovery and self-knowledge…

Incorruptible!

What is character…?? Is it only showing goodness to people, going out and doing charity work, giving blessings to everybody, showing that you care and that you are a saint…?? Is character something of your ego, something which may change at any given time–i.e., “I change my character with certain people,” “I love you but not them,” “I act this way now but tomorrow my character will change”…??

No, character is not something which depends on your environment or on the people around you, thus your character must not be corrupted by your emotional moods; so think of your character as something divine, unchangeable, because it really is–opposite to what most ignorant people think it is.

For example, you carry truth and you guide yourself by truth, thus you do not gossip, you do not blame and attack others. But let’s say one day your friends are gathered doing just this, being obnoxious; and so they call you to be with them. You do not start gossiping with them just because you want them to like you, but you embrace your divine character, the truth which guides your conscience. You are your true self alone, with them, and with everybody.

integrity

And where does true character start strengthening itself and growing…?? It grows within you, when you are alone, stressed, moody, pressured by your life’s problems. If you can build and strengthen character by yourself, alone, in your own mind, then, in all situations, you can be a light unto others and you will also remain true to your higher self. Character is loving truth, loving yourself–not your ego, but the being underneath it. Divine character is not a display of kind words and gentle activities with others, but it is how you carry yourself with yourself–i.e., how loving you are with yourself in self-talk, how truthful you are with yourself with matters of health and all morality, how understanding you are in life’s difficult situations, etc. etc… A divine character is a strong character which will not bend or be corrupted by anything at all. Can you understand this and put it into practice…??

Letting go…

What is it which you seek to understand…?? Why do you always want that control…??–to always know everything, to always fix everything. Can’t you see that freedom from all your pain, from all your problems, is in letting go…??

Your ego is not master of your house, only the moment is, the Now; thus, you must stop all thought and overthinking, allow the past to stay in the past, and you embrace the moment. No pain or suffering, no confusion or frustration lives in the moment. The heart lives in the moment. Love lives in the moment. And whatever lives in the mind, in the ego, as a thought or image, whether nice or not, is of time and space, chained to moods, likes and dislikes. Whatever the mind can tell you is memories, knowledge, beliefs, deceits; and that is why the mind and overthinking is addictive, and such addiction is misery, is more thinking, is more slavery, is continuous attachment, is not letting go…

“Letting go…“

Whatever I know is what confuses me,
Whatever I seek is what escapes me,
Whoever I am is far beyond knowing;
My ego’s identity is always overflowing.
When my beliefs and fears arise I am not,
When words are appearing I am caught.
Why should I follow this false name…??
The vapors of the careless mind to blame.
The mind is misery away from a pure heart;
The process of letting go is the soul’s art
Through patience and faith I find me there,
And if I pay full attention love is everywhere.

Letting go is to be highly aware of your memories and all thinking, to be aware of your own ego and its ignorant activities, to not dwell on hurt. You do not escape from memories, from thoughts, but you do not dwell and overthink either. Why…?? Because you love yourself so much that you shall not allow an undisciplined mind to ruin your mood and depress you, but you allow love to expand in you by focusing on living the moment with joy and ideas to better your future.

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.

Thus Awaken…

Do you realize why pain, confusion, temptation, anxiety, and all suffering exist in your life…?? Can you understand that what truly gives rich value to life is that same exact pain and suffering which you feel…??

As a human being one may only experience happiness, joy, love, and all harmony if one has struggled with their opposites first, learned from their opposites with an open mind. Awakening only comes after you have seen this and experienced it yourself, because physical existence carries both opposites and these both make physical life. A mother’s deep love and unique bond to his son or daughter wouldn’t be as strong as it is if in childbirth the pain was not extremely unpleasant and even life-threatening; therefore, a part of her has been ripped out, she feels it, thus she remains deeply connected to her kid her whole life, even in great distance… And life wouldn’t be appreciated without loss or death. As you suffer the great loss of a loved one, there is a lesson being imparted to you in the quiet corners of your mind; therefore, after you grieve or mourn you must surrender to this quiet corner in your mind where the voice of suffering may turn into the voice of wisdom.

One of the passages in the Bible says that it is easier for the poor to enter the ‘house of God’ (‘awakening into wisdom’) than for the rich. This means that the poor, due to lack of all societal and financial means, may go through much more pain than the rich, thus his mind might turn all his suffering into wisdom/into an awakening. So whatever you go through, remind yourself that all suffering, all failures, all misfortunes, all diseases have a purpose; and you mustn’t doubt this, because such doubt brings you more confusion and suffering. You have to see through your pain and turn it into a strength, wisdom, experience which can shape you into a better, more prepared person; for this is the purpose of all your suffering, and by embracing it, by overcoming it, you grab the scepter of power.

Buddha. Jesus. Muhammad. Lao Tzu. Osho. This is how the sage becomes the sage. No sage or wise man is born a sage or wise man. He becomes awakened by learning from his own pain; but he must be prepared to see through his pain instead of just complain and moan about it.

The Seashell.

Ever feel lonely and seek distractions out there, solutions to this nagging feeling…?? When the seeking is pointless, which you must see; for the seeking can only exacerbate the illness brooding in you, thus create more desire over and over again as it consumes your very soul–i.e., your sane rationality, your honest hopes, your vital dreams, your own affections…

“The seashell.”

I found a seashell in the fair sands
Gleaming under the warmest light;
In it I found the whisper I thought lost,
In it I discovered what I had tossed.

The seeking had been the dark abyss,
It had polluted my soul in darkness;
I had lost myself in the empty desire
Of a capricious nature–indeed so dire.
O how barren what I saw in the world!
Loneliness, frustration, anger held me;
For I truly observed my own reflection,
So I cried all the time without affection.
But O how blind and lost in the senses!
You were there all along, patiently waiting,
Gleaming under the very warmest light,
Blessed by Divinity–such glorious sight.

I finally stopped the search and contemplated
The many tears in me–the suffering, the misery;
Whatever held me hostage was my choosing,
I stubborn was in my desire–how confusing!
There was no end to the allure of the rabble,
Empty words of romance and promises broken;
Society had me as I desired what they had,
But I saw through the vain deceit–I am glad!
And it was the friendship with my very tears
The one which liberated my trapped soul;
And it was the seashell found under the sun,
Yes, listened I the whisper–O misery undone!

Your sickness…

Loneliness does not really exist, it is a creation of society, a machination of the ego; and it exists in your mind because your mind has been conditioned so–i.e., man and women form relationships and get married all around you, you must work all day for money, you have to join religious and spiritual collectives and cultures, your family tells you, your tradition tells you. Your mind is weak and you follow, you feel pressured so you accept what everyone does and says you should do; and then your ego tells you this is love, thus your brain accepts that loneliness is a sickness which can only be healed by being with another–in sex, in friendships, in marriage, in a political group, in a religion, etc.

You seek for company out there, don’t you…?? But isn’t that the real sickness though, always trying to appease the emptiness you feel within you by neglecting your true self and living in frustration like the rest of the mediocre rabble…?? Loneliness is a disease of your mind, and this disease keeps you distanced from true love, from God, and from the truth; and loneliness keeps you chained to sadness also, it steals your creativity and positivity to see life as it is. When you feel lonely you become frustrated because you envy others and you feel worthless or somewhat rejected by others, so your expression suffers, your energy becomes dark and corrupted, you do not shine and attract better opportunities and good people into your path.

But loneliness comes about and it is popularized because man does not have knowledge of himself; he might be full of book knowledge and desire to love another, but he has not found the expression of himself yet–that freedom which liberates him from always seeking in desperation out there.

But when you find yourself and practice and accept being with yourself, you begin to love the process because you find out that there is no other person in the world to love but yourself. This is true love! And as you discover true love within you, your strength to express and create flourishes, life brightens, and loneliness disappears from your mind.

Will you break free…??

What do you think gives you that confidence to stop pleasing others, to gain inner strength, and to begin to see life with fresh eyes…?? What makes life absolutely free and worth living…??

Human society is based upon resistance, it is fear-based–i.e., Christian religions popularize the image of Christ on the cross (it controls the mind with this fear instead of celebrating his life and teachings with a better image), tradition states that rigid education is key to better money and opportunities and that if you are not educated in the system you have poor chances for progress and you are thus neglected by everyone, women are paid and promoted in their jobs less than men, the media urges people to buy everything they sell you no matter what it is and if you do not then you are seen as unpopular and odd, in certain countries women are second-class citizens while men are in absolute control, in certain countries governments do not allow you to live off-the-grid and without using their paid services, etc. etc.

This resistance, this fear, creates the eternal nightmare in man, because the individual cannot liberate himself; for his mind lives in this competition and anxiety, thus he believes pleasure is love and following the masses is being happy. He loses himself in the ignorance of the mob, he never discovers himself because his attention is allured always on the outside. Is this the way you live…?? You live in this resistance, you cannot let go of this competition, don’t you….?? Why??

You cannot be, you cannot experience the truth in yourself to better all of your life, you cannot discover life, if you do not allow yourself to let go; thus, the allure of money drives you, the absolute control of your woman is always nagging your mind, the fear of loss of your man makes you a ridiculous puppet, there is no real substance, innocence, creativity, individuality in you anymore. You have become a robot of society, a pitiful follower; and the worst, you won’t see it and shake yourself into awakening because you want to please others, you are a puppet of society, you read what I write here but your life never changes. And then you praise yourself with pride and call yourself awakened, don’t you…??

Perhaps radical change and true individuality lie in you, but you resist to it because you are full of stupid excuses that you tell yourself everyday…

About confidence…

About confidence…

There are people who develop a false sense of confidence, because they still live in the grand dream of their own vanity and insecure egos. Yes, I see them walking proudly, talking down to others, flaunting their feathers like peacocks, taking what they want from others, competing and singing loud tunes of tyranny, without a hint of love in their actions but pure obsession brooding in them. But this is not confidence, O I know!, for inside they are terrified of losing, fearful of being less, empty and searching for ways to fill this great void they keep hidden from others. What they carry so proudly is not confidence but fear of rejection and loss; for not being popular is the scorching hell of their superficial and misguided affairs with the ignorant world.

About confidence…

Yes, I can say that confidence is the result of the communion and harmony in you. Real confidence which cannot be stolen, bought, or ever diseased. For this confidence is divine and pure, love-based and not attached to anything or anyone at all. The light I see and feel coming down from heaven into my conscience, yes, such is clarity and truth strengthening my resolve, and such evolves into confidence on which I can always rely and trust because it is me, the real me and not the masks I wear for them.

About confidence…

And who told you about confidence…?? Because they lied to you. And who says you learn confidence from watching or reading others, or from desiring to be like others…?? They have said that to you because they do not know confidence themselves. Confidence must spring from you, it must be clear like the most beautiful and untainted tropical waters, and it must be a realization within you. Truth is not spoken, or heard, or read, or watched; but this is just the experience from others before you. Truth brings confidence if you embrace your strengths and also your weaknesses. Question is: Can you rise like the phoenix…?? Associated with the Sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its weaker predecessor. The weaker you, the follower you, the lost you, the chained to the world you. Truth brings confidence and it is inside yourself, for you initiate the eternal flame and rise from the old ashes like the mighty phoenix. So do you know about confidence…??
