Open your Eyes and lead.

Dont-Go-Where-the-Path-May-Lead

That which is not of service to your personal improvement must be allowed to go, especially if your ego feels comfortable doing it and it is keeping you distracted and distanced from maturity and higher conscience.  What is true love if not the understanding that you must come first…??  You desire to be able to truly love someone, you desire to find a job you love or develop love for your current job situation, you desire to feel healthier, you desire to feel more tolerance and compassion for others, etc. etc…??  It is an inside job, because all your experiences are you, because all the people with whom you interact daily are you, because all that which you think and feel is you.  So you start from you, you awaken to your own higher conscience, you realize that to find love and God in the world and inside yourself you must wake up and lead yourself into a better life.

But your problem is that you cannot see it yet, because you think that the most important thing is to carry the burden of others, that it is to love and take care of others first.  You have been poisoned by stupid writings and ignorant people, you believe this to be spiritual when in reality is not–but it is just the game of feeling like the idiot martyr, like the nonsense story of the crucifixion of Jesus which you and most people do not truly understand.  This is how poor and pitiful your understanding of love is, and this is why the self-proclaimed “spiritual” people are not spiritual at all.

Love is the greatest essence, the most magnificent and creative force of all bliss; however, you must understand that true love must be built first to be experienced as a human being.  People who kill themselves, people who create wars, people who eat unhealthily and without discipline, people who deceive others–Why do you think they act this way…??  Because they haven’t built true love inside them.  They just go around spreading joy, or pain, to the world and taking care of others, or hurting others, while ignorantly thinking that this is divine, or even right to do, that this is doing the job of God or some bullshit their egos invent.  But they indeed lack the understanding of true love, for true love is something you build within yourself, you fill yourself with love and then your example, your love expands.

Would you take eating advice from a fat person…??  Would you take relationship advice from a couple who lives arguing and is intolerant to each other…??   Would you marry a person who desires to cut herself or kill herself because she hasn’t found true love inside her yet…??  If you would, then you are one of these people who do not understand what love truly is…  Do you want to really know what love is…??  Do you want to be filled with it blissfully…??  Work on yourself first then.  Not later.  Now…

You are now entering Hell. WELCOME.

O, there was no going back for him!  He felt trapped in this conniving and ensnaring dimension of pain and angst, he could see the open door approaching to him quickly.  Hell called on to him!  Once, he had been rested, his soul had been free, and his heart enamored with life.  But that was once, before he had allowed the reality of others dictate his, and before he had permitted the words of madness of others introduce this same madness into him…
The door was here!
It read:  “YOU ARE NOW ENTERING HELL.  WELCOME.”
58f9ac91f0cf9cdff7bd6e076067a391
O, he entered his new reality full of fire and madness! 
It was like the heavens had vanished and had allowed a hell to fill his mental ether, to take hostage the now boiling content of each cell of his body.  It was the very vibration of the fire brooding within that which made everything so chaotic, so demonic, and yet the beauty had persisted but only to opaque and intensify his own lost soul.  And what is the soul taken by blinding wrath if not lost…??  Once enslaved by this rage reality becomes corrupted and emotions intensified to reach blinding heights for the human mind, does it not…??  And even in this state, where frustration and pride take over, he is not himself.  Who is he…??  Who are you…??  Who are you if not some creature which lies in powerlessness and dejection, the emptiness of your own humanity filled by this uncontrolled rage for a moment or two.  He has lost himself, love and understanding seem non-existent, foes perhaps; for now, heat and ashes consume his soul and befriend his mind with a passing and deceitful “bliss”–something which carries no life but its opposite, Death!  A death of reason and communion the divine understanding of the beautiful relationship in life. 

O, he entered his new reality full of fire and madness!
He walks in the inferno with explosive gluttony and obscured haughtiness, and as he walks, unbeknownst to his higher dominion of celestial reason, his mind has fallen into the gruesome abyss of despair and solitude.  And he trembles and despises himself as he is taken by this blasphemous extreme of the pole of his unexplored emotions, and he sees in the way the ones he wronged, which is himself and others he once treated with the highest gentleness and love contained within a beautiful creature of love and magic.  Now a creature of lowly birth and demonic possession…  How is it that anger fills us like the flames fill the house graced by family warmth and heartfelt art, robs our reason and understanding, burns everything into mere ash…??…  His soul cannot be free consumed thus; he knows it, O he knows it, yet the tremendous heat and the tyrannous pride are running him into oblivion of himself, just like the engine runs the car into the bottom of a cliff.   He has killed his friends and himself as he parades his stupidity. But he needs to see this. But he needs to be aware of this before the demons come for him…

“A physician is not angry at the intemperance of a mad patient, nor does he take it ill to be railed at by a man in fever. Just so should a wise man treat all mankind, as a physician does his patient, and look upon them only as sick and extravagant.” ~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca; Roman Stoic philosopher, statesman, dramatist and satirist.

Can you not see that it is Now…??

Once, a king and a lazy man named Haria were very good friends.  One morning, the king said, “Why don’t you do work to earn some money?”  Haria said, “No one gives me job.  My enemies told everyone that I never do any work on time.”  At this, the king said, “You can go into my treasury and collect as much wealth as you can, till sunset.”  Haria rushed home then to tell this to his wife.  She then said, “Christ is certainly smiling upon us, husband!  Go and get the gold coins and gems now!!”  But he replied, “I see you are extremely happy but I cannot go now.  Give me lunch first.”…

So, after lunch, he took a nap for an hour.  Then in the late afternoon, he picked some bags and went to the palace.  On the way, he felt hot so he sat under a tree to rest.  Then, two hours later, he got up to go but saw a man showing some magic tricks.  He stopped to watch for an hour again.  When he reached the palace it was already time for sunset.  The palace gates had been shut.  So Haria had lost a golden chance because he had not learned the value of time.

Life is eternal because it exist only in the Now.  Whatever is past is gone, is never to come back, and a mere memory in your mind.  The future will never be, because it is just another construct of your mind.  Life then is enjoyed now, because the only reality is the Now, and the only progress is in the Now.  A plan to do something later, an idea to see a possibility in your mind, an intention to act when things get better in a future–these are all schemes and games of your overthinking ego, of your conditioned mind, of your lazy psychology, and illusions which do not carry reality.

Acting in the Now, enjoying yourself in the Now, expanding your love and commitment in the Now–this is all creativity and reality, this is the real you behind all the fears and insecurities…  The freedom to be yourself and to move your life forward step by step is Now.  Hesitation in living is not based on love, is it…??…
1573efba67e8c1aa6b2902eb3a30d70d
Step by step, enjoying and doing things now without postponing you then create your better life; always moving forward, slowly but surely, with presence and focused on the moment you are living.

Step out of the cage!

Is inspiration something that bashes you on the head suddenly…?? Is inspiration something which is only reserved for the highly creative…??
Step out of the cage and create inspiration!
31507791_454452364988131_3426356052109557760_n
If you look at the world through people’s “logic” and beliefs, something is missing in their everyday lives–they make mistake after mistake, they do not take responsibility for their own actions, they seem to ignore what love and truth really are, they hate their jobs, etc…  Why is that…??  Is it because they lack inspiration to see and understand even their own lives…??

The artist waits for inspiration to hit him because throughout the ages society and all philosophies have told him that inspiration is a divine magic which comes to him from above, from somewhere he is not.  And this ignorant knowledge has gotten out and filled the minds of all of us, so inspiration has become a wealthy trait, something miraculous, something which not everybody can access.  Doesn’t seem fair, does it…??  I mean we all have to create in our lives, we all must fix our personal problems, we all struggle to find success in whatever we do, we all need a little inspiration daily, right…??

It is the waiting that which distances people.  The waiting is killing us.  No.  Why would you wait for inspiration when you must look inside you for inspiration, like you must look inside you for love and happiness.  Step out of your own mechanical thinking and inspire yourself!  Step out of the cage and create inspiration!  You must be proactive and creative, because these are traits we all have; and you find them step by step:  Write down ideas, think about past memories, connect to how you really feel, begin to work out the simple and easy things, and so on…  As an artist, I say that I never wait for inspiration, I am inspiration; so I begin to write something simple, I draw something simple, I see my feelings… and, Voila!:  There it is..

Step out of the cage and create inspiration!

“Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts.  This is the secret of success.”  ~ Swami Sivananda.

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…

Have you considered real love…??

“If you want the moon, do not hide at night.  If you want a rose, do not run from the thorns.  If you want love, do not hide from yourself. ”  ~ Rumi.

 

To love oneself, the elevation of oneself, the true knowledge of oneself, must be the purpose of our individual existence; because if one does not truly and absolutely love oneself, then one cannot truly love another being.  And it is not enough to say in your mind “I love myself,” but it is in the small things of our daily living where we must show ourselves love–i.e., in the way we eat, in the types of food we ingest, in the thoughts we entertain in our minds, in cleaning our place, in cooking for ourselves, in exercising, in the things we read, etc. etc.

So everything starts in this love for ourselves.  If you cannot accept and love yourself, everything and anything you do in life is superficial.  Without self-love, you are forced to fall in the trap of seeking love and happiness outside of yourself–i.e., in relationships, in situations, in jobs, in travels, in cultures, in religions, etc..  This seeking is the form of false “love” the ego has created in you, this fake “love” is attachment.

“Changed“

As the darkness settled I felt empty,
A void and an abyss deep within me.
The people who were lost were plenty,
A vast wilderness where I could not be.

The hidden loathing was for the many lies,
Which I told to myself every waking day.
And I would not listen to the loud cries,
Ill by the pleasures of my body’s decay.

But as I saw I became one with the light,
For before true love I knew estranged;
The darkness in me had been my sight,
The emptiness within had now Changed.

Will you learn real love in you…??

Visualize.

“Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and, above all, don’t let anyone limit your dreams.” ~ Donovan Bailey; Jamaican-Canadian sprinter.

“Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.” ~ Paulo Coelho; Brazilian lyricist and novelist.

Each creation has its purpose in life, each creature has its responsibilities and duties, and as a human being endowed with high levels of self-awareness you have yours.  Your task then is to elevate yourself, to learn about yourself, to create your own path in this world, and to awaken to higher understanding; because true and constant happiness only is experienced by the ones who know and accept this, the ones who are willing to learn from life and keep their dreams, their goals, sacred.

imageso
You must focus and visualize your future, enjoy each moment, and be curious about life and about your own existence; therefore, inquire within yourself and find you inner strengths, your talents, your gifts, and the things in your heart that your ego tells you that you cannot do, the important things, the things that really matter to you, do them.

The first step to visualize is to delve deep into your heart, block the negativity and those thoughts from your mind, and within your passions and inspirations you will create the perfect image.  Keep that image sacred and think about it every day, plan strategies and create a path to  get there, but be patient when you do this.  Remember, whatever comes easy and fast in life, is not great, it is just fleeting pleasure; but whatever takes time and energy, faith and endurance from you, it is great and of long-lasting result.

4f66d9e01d6cad8708eaf9c0c9cd20f3


The worst mistake is to listen to your mind, to your ego, because that is where fear lives; so, just follow your heart and be patient, respect the process, respect people and yourself, but be consistent, faithful to your cause.


Acknowledge the people that stand beside you, that support you, and be an example to them and to whomever needs a helping hand; but never stop or deviate from your goals and dreams for anybody, because if people care about you they will respect you and your dreams, and if people do not care about you and your dreams, then, why would you allow those people, whoever they are, to distract you from your dreams…??


25443064_402244436875591_7334727463784792014_n
So, remind yourself that the first thing in life as a divine being is self-love, to love yourself enough to understand your role in this life and to know that you matter.  Do not deviate attention from you.  Help others with your example.
This is true love.

Internal revolution.

“We are the only beings on the planet who lead such rich internal lives that it’s not the events that should matter most to us, but rather, it’s how we interpret those events that will determine how we think about ourselves and how we will act in the future.” ~ Tony Robbins.

“One can not reflect in streaming water. Only those who know internal peace can give it to others.” ~ Lao Tzu.


To live life is not just to survive but to overcome and awaken to deeper truth, and to awaken to deeper truth one must question and meditate and not just blindly obey and follow.

bobmarley-02
Sadly, what most people in this world do is to obey and follow, perhaps without actually knowing it, choosing their own superficial ignorance and the ignorance of others. 

But the truth of life then, the answers to all the questions of your purpose, of what is right and wrong, of where you are going, of what death really is, etc. etc., are found in questioning yourself, not questioning the world but yourself.

Questioning yourself means meditating about your reactions, your thoughts, your feelings, your behaviors; furthermore, it means analyzing carefully and truthfully all the beliefs you have, the ideas, the surroundings, the people influencing you. 

All that you come to realize then, if you do this, is that everything to develop yourself and your life to find truth, and thus live by the truth, is self-love, which is to respect yourself enough to change your thinking and behaving to embrace true happiness and be guided by wisdom and not by ego-centered activities.

25399183_400689377031097_2558884803750660310_n

This means an internal revolution, and this means destruction of the old you to create the new you.  It is to empty your mind and become free, because once this happens then your mind is not confused and suffering anymore but free to create itself and elevate itself.

And then, once your mind is free and full of self-love, you can help others by example.

Higher standards.

“You can’t please everyone. When you’re too focused on living up to other people’s standards, you aren’t spending enough time raising your own. Some people may whisper, complain and judge. But for the most part, it’s all in your head. People care less about your actions than you think. Why? They have their own problems!” ~ Kris Carr; American health author, wellness activist, and cancer survivor.

“Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards. When people ask me what really changed my life eight years ago, I tell them that absolutely the most important thin was changing what I demanded of myself. I wrote down all the things I would no longer accept in my life, all the things I would no longer tolerate, and all the things that I aspired to becoming.” ~ Tony Robbins; American author, entrepreneur, philanthropist and life coach.


Most people in this world act like they do not like themselves, as they dumb themselves down for other people just to fit in with the fools of a group, whether family or friends, and as they engage in their own depressive thinking while putting themselves down in front of a mirror also; thus lowering their own standards to mediocrity and self-pity every day more and more.

25507813_400644110368957_7845411035457432798_n

They are like beggars asking for love and attention, mistreating themselves and belittling themselves and their lives; consequently, this shrinks the human mind and brings all sorts of distortions of reality.

And because you cannot see reality now, namely that you can do more and be more for yourself, you drown in your own ego while you distance yourself from all self-love which can help you experience all happiness.

There is no more love you can have towards yourself than self-respect, because this self-respect creates mighty confidence and strength from within so you can say no to lower standards in the world, so you can raise yourself above those negative thoughts you may have and the inferior influence from people around you.

So, remind yourself that self-discipline in this is to love yourself and care enough to create the greatest life for you.  Worry and work on yourself, do not listen to others.  You are THE ONLY creator of your life.

Innermost.

“No one knows your situation better than you.  Do what’s best for you.  If they can’t love you through it, then they weren’t meant to be in your life.”  ~ Tony Gaskins; American motivational speaker, author and life coach.

“Look inside yourself for the answers, you’re the only one who knows what’s best for you.  Everybody else is only guessing.”  ~ Charles De Lint; Canadian short story writer, novelist, poet, and lyricist.


Knowledge of self, daily reflection, routine meditation into yourself, is what one needs in order to embrace complete happiness and in order to be content with whatever you do in life.

This is self-love: when you only follow your inner self and take care of that inner self because you realize that you are the most important person you have to worry about, your mental elevation and emotional understanding; and so, from this process of self-love you can now expand love onto others.

24312907_393573671076001_3268789277593856981_n

But this paramount process of self-love gets interrupted and badly tainted if you allow your focus to be on others, on others’ expectations for you, on others’ opinions and wishes for you, etc. etc.

No one, not even your loved ones, can tell you exactly what is best for you if you are mature enough to see it for yourself, if you are mature enough to know where you are going and enjoy the path you walk; therefore, it is of the ego to feel victim of the opinions, wishes, expectations of other people, for you must see the reality, that you are the god of your own life, that you are the creator of your own life.

Never allow guilt, shame, fear, to consume your rationale and affect your emotional understanding of yourself, because you are here on this earth to develop yourself, not to take care of others constantly and be the punching bag for their mental and emotional nonsense.

This may sound harsh to someone that is not well acquainted with self-love, but it is the absolute truth to me; and I live my life based on it.


You are the only one who knows your innermost desires and strengths, so do not let any tricks from your ego or from the ego of others to manipulate you into being less and staying less than what you are and can accomplish.
