That which makes you light up.

 

How would you find that which makes you unique…??  How would you define your specific purpose…??  Don’t say “My purpose, what makes me unique is to be love and be happy.”  Everybody says that.  And don’t even think of saying “My purpose, my destiny is to get married, have kids, and be a grandma or grandpa.”

That is not your specific value or purpose, that is not what you must find as an individual; for life is YOUR journey to discover yourself, something which makes you unique as a human being.  So, what is it that makes you unique specifically…??

Being love, being happy, being successful as an individual, does not have anything to do with society’s designs–i.e., with college, money, religion, marriage, philosophies you have read and follow, etc.  Although, this is what they teach famously in societies today.  “Discover yourself and your life by following the paths which are common and which we offer,” they say.

Thus, people become followers, they arrange their lives around a set of beliefs and ideas, and they become like everyone else, drones, robots, computer programs; however, in their enslaved minds they believe they are indeed unique and especial.  But, of course, they become one with sheep without knowing it.

I am talking about the mind much more than a mere activity out there.  The human mind is the tool you must use to inquire and find out what makes you especial, unique, of individual value; and you must discover yourself every day, discover the ways you become better, explore your talents and skills.

All measuring to higher and higher ethics and morals.  This is how you are love and happiness, by discovering this in yourself daily; hence, this process of discovery looking within you makes you stand out and be a true individual.

So you become wiser about yourself and about where you are going in life.  So you create yourself and stop following the crowd, and thus you find your uniqueness to shine in your very character in whatever you think and feel, and even in whatever you do in the world.

Where is it…??

Confidence is the strength we gather through faith and commitment, and this confidence must be born within; therefore, it is something you must discover within and not without.

If confidence is obtained from your environment, from your job, from the people who surround you, from your looks, then it is not confidence; because it will not last, you are chained to time and to outer circumstances, and when you lose people around you, or lose your job, your looks, etc. etc.–what is left of that confidence…??

Confidence is the strength within you saying that you can be patient, work on yourself and on your goals, and be fully aware of where you are going without any external expectation.  Expectation then is what slowly kills confidence, because expectation is an attachment to something, and confidence is a part of your Higher Self which must be truly free and without attachments.

Attachments bring suffering, frustration, doubt, confusion; but confidence has no attachments whatsoever, because confidence lives in The Now–i.e., where there is absolute freedom and pure love.

So many times people confuse confidence with intellect due to our education system, such education system in society which values a human creature based on the content of their egos–i.e., on their knowledge.

And, sure, knowledge, a good education, can open doors in society; however, knowledge, education, I.Q., cannot give you happiness, cannot give you the experience of true love, for only your inner commitment and strength to achieve something can.

So, anything which is spiritual or of high morals and ethics can and will wake up your conscience for you to discover your own confidence and stand up on your own, through patience and faith, and through keeping your attention within you and not on your environment comparing your life to that of others.

Apply yourself.

b1b7803e1ce67de6c048ae500a63fb6f--laos-spiritual-awakening

It is truly important to understand that humanity is asleep, lives asleep, works asleep, forms families and grows old asleep, and finally dies asleep.  Living just like under a magic spell, it sounds funny but it is actually true; because they have created religions, different views of love, political divides and hatred, and each person or group has their own view of morality and of that which is divine–i.e., if people really consider anything in life to be divine, IN ACTUAL APPLICATION, not in philosophy and empty words.  And why are they asleep…??

One word: “FASCINATION.”  Fascination which becomes obsession and ignorance in their unruly minds without them knowing it.  People live fascinated and absorbed by the world, its attractions, and by their own selfish desires–which most of the time are not considered selfish by their egos:

The petty drunkard (including all kinds of drugs) lives fascinated by alcohol, women, parties, and all carnal and psychological pleasures.  The average woman lives fascinated by her own reflection in the mirror, and so she lives her life shopping and thinking about beautifying herself more in sheer vanity, while her mind suffers her neglect and remains empty her whole life.  The plain worker is honest and faithful, but blindly fascinated by his/her job and his/her family.  The religious person remains fascinated by his own beliefs, scriptures, rituals, and teachers.

Everybody lives in their own little world.  Everybody focuses on what is outside of them, like a little child in front of blinding lights they cannot deviate their attention from it.  Meanwhile, the consciousness, the true ticket to love, happiness, to divinity and understanding remains trapped behind their tyrannous ego full of themselves and their own beliefs and selfish views–all due to the fascination with the mundane world.

 

There must be a RADICAL revolution in the mind of each person in order to stop all this fascination and study the self.  A radical revolution is not just knowledge but the APPLICATION of this factual knowledge, as most people deceive themselves by thinking that knowing what is good makes them good; thus, a fool remains asleep by not applying the knowledge he acquires. 

And that is what you must do if you truly desire to awaken from this sleep:  Teach yourself.  Apply your knowledge.  Seek and empower yourself by becoming your knowledge.  Otherwise you cannot claim to be awaken.

The blindness of groups.

Protestants, Catholics, Intellectuals, Mormons, Atheists. Muslims, Democrats, Revolutionaries, Republicans, Military, and so on and so forth.  Each one of these groups lives in their own little world, thus their own little vision, their own little rules, their own little philosophy of life.  All this creates division and ignorance, because each group can only understand and see the content of their own little world (creates ignorance), and because each group divides itself from the rest as they believe strongly that they are right and the others wrong (superiority and inferiority complexes are built/the creation of right and wrong in division).

Everybody is right and everybody is wrong, which means the truth is clouded, distant from their conscience.  They create their own truth through their own beliefs, through their own stubborn and fixed philosophies, through their own close-minded interpretations of life, through the games they create for themselves–each ignorant and asleep group creates the idea which gives pleasure and boosts the egotism of that specific group.  And this selfishness and INVOLUTION from conscious illumination they do not see, or even understand, but surely ignore; for they are like pigs wallowing in their own filth, and like the pig they ignore that they are wallowing in filth, because to the pig the filth is heaven/its own truth.

What is the problem…??  The problem is their morals, their characters, their comprehension of love, of life, and of each other.  If each group stays in their own beliefs, ideas, philosophies, illusions, then there is no chance of seeing and understanding the big picture–each group is living in a room and never actually experienced other rooms, thus they have learned that each their own rooms are the best and true rooms.  And love is just what they believe it is–i.e., “I love only MY people and the rest is not my concern,” “I love only MY nation and the rest not so much,” “MY political party is true and right so the rest is not.,” “I love only people who believe in MY God because the rest are too stupid to see MY truth,” etc. etc.

Into the abyss.

Hell, or the Avernus, has three gates: Lust, Anger, and Greed. 

-Lust takes us to lose consciousness and fall deep into animal character away from all divinity and illumination–godly states which are the very essence of Love. 
-Anger spawns all kinds of agitation in the mind, it clouds judgement, and brings all diseases into our system by lowering the vibrations of our being. 
-But greed is the very nature of what we may call evil.  Greed fills the mind and it makes it want more and more–i.,e., more and better food, more sex, more money, more things, even more knowledge.

Society is built around greed, it cannot survive without it; this works subconsciously so it plants the seeds in the psyche of the ignorant masses, thus nobody thinks they are being greedy.  Being greedy is a sin unto yourself, to your better evolution as a human and spiritual being.  But nobody becomes truly aware of their greediness, do they…??  Do you…??  It is easy to notice the greediness of the world instead of your own, isn’t it…??  The reason why the mind of the human creature must be self-aware at all times, no exceptions.

Pursuing pleasures mindlessly and obsessively is greed, which most of the time will act subconsciously in you; and the only cure for this is a constant self-awareness.  Greed is everywhere you look, even dressed in religious and saintly clothing.  Fear is pursuing these pleasures, and when fear exists in the mind/when the pursuit of pleasure exists in the mind then all love for God and for your true self is gone.

What does it mean to be human…??

What does it mean to be human…??  Science tells us that if your DNA corresponds to that of the homo-sapiens you are human, which is true; but still a little rigid.  The message is still unclear, people’s minds take this as truth; however, this is half truth, for you may only know your humanity by a deeper, individually private exploration.  The true self is more mysterious than the loud ego, and is case why most of the world only knows their humanity through their egos; therefore, the faint voice of truth can only be heard in a state of tranquility and inward attention, while the ego is loudly seducing you all your waking hours–thus leading your life and painting a false picture of what it is to be human.  Do you follow this…??

What does it mean to be human…??  The struggling and demanding voices only get louder and louder in the dark dimension of your mind, and it can enslave a human being just living there every day hoping for life to get easier or to offer a mere break from suffering and monotony.  But living in a one-dimensional, or purely egoistical, mind cannot give you fruit more than the everyday grind of what happens in our society.  This living in your mind only blinds you to the depth and richness of life–living in your mind makes everything worse because the mind is a program, it is built to work based on a set pattern which decays and gets boring and is bounded to make you angry and frustrated.

What does it mean to be human…??  To be human is to realize for yourself that your tools for a better life lie beyond mind, that is beyond the struggle and the loud voices within the dark dimension of your mind.  It is as if we are many people inside our minds–i.e., the saint, the pervert, the crazy, the genius, the happy, the depressed, the lover, the hater, etc. etc.–and we get lost in the crowd; thus, confusion and frustration set in.  But the freedom, the answers, the constant happiness, the positive moods and attitude, the true love in all–these are indeed part of your humanity as well, spiritually, but human; but not many people find these because these are not in their minds full of noise and struggle, these are found only in the silent and sacred exploration of the self.

A little more awake.

The voices in our heads are seemingly many, loud, rebellious, and quite often without much reason; that is in fact the chemistry in our brains igniting certain signals, lighting up certain parts of our hemispheres, as the mind is influenced by molecular waves of potentialities thus giving us the different sensations/dimensional experiences of thought–i.e., good and evil, truth and lie, facts and imagination, etc. etc.  This comes about due to the polluted content of the human mind, because if there is no pollution then the voices are just truth-and-love based–i.e. no confusion and struggle to find out what is true.  And the pollution penetrates through our physical senses; the physical senses are not clean due our society and its influence.

It is not that easy to be honest with yourself in the polluted mind, is it…??  What to eat.  What and how to say it.  What activities to pursue.  Wise strategies in life.  Detaching yourself from your own mind’s content.  Are you making excuses right now…??  Do you make excuses for the way you think, for the way you feel, for the way you behave…??  Excuses are stopping you and anyone else from the light, and the pollution–whatever is not fact–is denying you access into the temple of wisdom, into your godly nature which is your god-given right.

You may not see it, perhaps you aren’t really conscious of the excuses you make; however, awakening is just that, realizing what is unconscious in you and making it conscious immediately, no excuses, because it is about you and your evolution–spiritual, mental, physical evolution.  Awakening is not filling your mind with more knowledge, which may turn out to be more pollution–and if that is the case you are falling more and more in the sleeping state rather than coming into higher awakening…  Think about this, really see it in yourself, and then become a little more awake…

To be free.

jiddu-krishnamurti-820
When the question of freedom is propounded, in each mind there is incoherence, vagueness, and incongruity; in fact, in most cases you wouldn’t find ten people on the street who share the same understanding of what freedom really is.  Nobody really understands what it is, because people are followers, they think they seek reality but in fact they are disturbing reality by following others; thus for them wars are the gateway to freedom, competition is the key to enjoying life and get what they need, love always molds to their each individual concepts, the truth is always what brings them comfort and pleasure, loneliness is cured by bringing more people into their lives, and the stupidity goes on and on and on.  Wars.  Competition.  Different concepts and ways of love.
But how many flags, how much blood, and how many heroes have come to pass in the course of history whenever the question of freedom has been posed in life’s scenario…??  Adolescents long for freedom: It seems incredible that while having food, clothing, and shelter they should want to flee their homes in the pursuit of freedom.  And it is logical that a young girl wants freedom, longs to move away from home, to marry in order to escape from under the parental roof and lead a better life.  This is in part due to her right to be a mother.  Nevertheless, once married, she finds she is not free, and with resignation she must bear the shackles of slavery.  A worker, tired of so many regulations, wants to be free; but even if he achieves independence, he soon encounters the problem of continuing to be a slave to his own interests and concerns.  They all think they know freedom, because they seek freedom–and that is exact;y their downfall.

Truth is, as long as your consciousness remains in slavery to your ego, as long as you seek freedom out there in activities, you will not become free–not in a million years!  Consciousness must be rid from the egoistical mindset and its anxious content; your mind is your world, every thought, every feeling, every experience appears in your mind, and this mind dumps its content on your consciousness.  In short, your mind must be free from society, its concepts and beliefs, in order for your consciousness to see reality as it is and for its pure energy to elevate your mind’s thoughts.

The ordinary behind.

What or who is the ordinary man…?? And why is this planet full with the ordinary…?? Society including all its institutions, thousands of years of it, programming minds by popular influence and “education,” growing weeds instead of superior human beings. Is this any surprise…?? “I fear this and that,” “I covet such and such,” “I was not born to accomplish more,” “I judge others based on my own ways of thinking and based on my lifestyle and beliefs,” “The true path of life is to be a perfect saint like Jesus or Buddha,” “It is absolutely necessary to send young men to protect our country by killing other young men.” This is the backwards society and its influence on the mind, perhaps on yours as well.

quote-respect-uniqueness-rumi-1-570x570

Why is this though…?? People pretend to be someone else, pretend to act like someone else, pretend to think like someone else, pretend to feel like someone else; and this is the sickness exactly, nobody stands out from the crowd and is truly him/herself. The program runs them like computers that age without even a new program. Idiots everywhere–nice ones claiming to be saints, claiming to live by the truth, claiming to be responsible; but it is all an act to be seen by others, to lie to themselves and keep their old programing. No one explores their subconscious and inquires why they follow and do things the way they do things. Do you inquire into yourself, or are you just another ordinary idiot claiming to be different…??

People claim to know love, compassion, tolerance, understanding, some sort of awakening; however, these same people are “compassionate” by supporting wars and eating animals, these same people also are “intelligent” by reacting like morons to any situation they encounter, these same people “love” by arguing violently and treating their partners like a toy which loses popularity and is tossed into the garbage, Mundanity fills their minds, and they wonder why life is what it is for them, and they complain and come back to make the same stupid mistakes over and over again. Mistakes are great, gold; but only if you truly dedicate time, remain self-aware, and learn from them–then this is how the human being grows and some illumination can bathe the mind. Life is to stop following, stand on your own, embrace the truth and create your unique path; not by asking and wondering and following still, but by inquiring and reaching deeper into yourself, and so being born again and leaving the ordinary behind.

The loud baby.

What brings suffering, need to gossip, need to complain, need to find any sort of selfish and ignorant security, is the ego; thus, the mind without balance, the mind which follows and is not unique, the mind which obsesses and attaches to something or to someone.

A state of egolessness is a state of the higher, a state with no goal or ambition which can corrupt the mind; and a state of illumination where there is clarity and no fear at all, a state of pure love and so understanding of all that is. This is the state to be sought by you and anyone interested in a better, more elevating life.

Enlightenment, illumination, wisdom, comes not to the baby eager to blame the world and complain, because the baby’s attention is on the world and so he has lost his own way and crawls in his own suffering and despair.
The meditative man achieves that state of egolessness which brings the love and higher understanding only a Buddha knows and experiences. In so doing, he creates a world which never decays, ages, or bases itself on fear.
——–

So, this is the finished piece. Titled: “The Path.”

I felt it needed some details to enlighten into some important issues in life, specially in our society based on vain superficiality and competition.  What are your thoughts…??
