Poetry and prose from the heart. Self-help life truths. The free mind of a human god!

As pure gold.

“To free us from the expectations of others, to give us back to ourselves—there lies the great, singular power of self-respect.”  ~ Joan Didion; American journalist and writer of novels, plays, screenplays, and autobiographical works.

“That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.”  ~ William J. H. Boetcker; German minister and motivational speaker.


 
As pure gold
 
As the concealed mysteries of the deep seas,
As the creatures which no eyes have ever seen,
There is the glorious purity of your soul
As profound and valuable as pure gold;
For it is in thee that life is appreciated,
For it is in thee that such is elevated.
 
All the kind people one loves and cherishes
May be as the light bulb which flickers in the dark,
The light which changes intensity as mood,
The light which guides and obscures the truth.
They may ask and demand, rob you of your option,
Where the light is faint, where truth is distortion.
 
The rose blooms under the light of the warm Sun;
You and I develop under the warmth of self-respect.
To master the space and the planets is nothing;
To master the Eternal Love in thee is everything.
Why give knowing that they will just take and take…??
If you always give, play the fool, your love is fake.
 
The repeated mistakes of good and decent people,
To give and forgive about the love for themselves,
To expect the beast to change when it lives by instinct.
But to love oneself is the glorious purity of your soul,
To know that you are as profound and valuable as pure gold.
 
~ Asa.
Don't you know yet...__Your light shines by beingnourished with self-love.Enrich yourself first, not others.

Business mind. Self-help life truths. The free mind of a human god!

Source of The Universe.

“It is difficult to understand the universe if you only study one planet.”  ~ Miyamoto Musashi; expert Japanese swordsman, rōnin, and author.

“People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something one finds, it is something one creates.”  ~ Thomas Szasz; Hungarian-American academic, psychiatrist, and psychoanalyst.


So, one discovers, knows, and embraces one’s own strength only if the mind is not agitated.  But what is this mean exactly…??  Do you know what drives the human being into great acts…??  Do you know why most people are decent people but they never create greatness in their lives…??  Do you know where the cosmic secret beyond time and space lies…??

th
The world moves forth and most people sees this without a deeper thought, but, no matter how nice and loving they can be, they are not awake enough to understand that the world only is what it is and moves forth the way it moves forth because of the inner state of each human being–i.e., not because of animals, no because of trees, but because of human beings.

And whoever is not awake enough to understand this, believes that whatever they think and do does not really affect the world around them, so they start believing that what they need to create a better world is outside of them.

So, their minds are neglected, the ego takes over, and the world suffers because of that mediocrity, most of the time from well-intentioned people.


But the human race has been given higher intelligence over other sentient beings for a reason, not just to increase an ego which seeks the truth on the outside; therefore, that reason is the management of our higher thinking tools to inquire within ourselves, meditate, discover the essence of Life itself and The Great Creation within–no other being on Earth has been given self-awareness like this.

Because all the world around you is a mere reflection or a perfect hologram of the real pattern which lies within you.

interpersonal-ppt-journey-into-self-awareness-6-638

Furthermore, it might be difficult to find time to think about who we are, our strengths and weaknesses, our drives and personalities, our habits and values.   And even when personal feedback is presented to us, we’re not always open to it, because honest feedback isn’t always flattering; consequently, many people has a pretty low level of self-awareness.  But self-awareness can improve your judgment and help us identify opportunities for professional development and personal growth.  And so, what is more important than self-love, than improving yourself…??

Self-awareness is the power of introspection and reflection the world needs right now and always will, it is what your life needs.  And because your own happiness and a great life is created from within you, then you must take time to inquire within yourself and find out your reaction motives and meditate on your reason and logic of beliefs and thoughts, find out every day why you act and see life the way you see it, project yourself outside of your own mind and feel what other people feels and thinks, study the human psychology and behavioral patterns of the world.  This will give you the powerful insight into your human spirit and into life’s greatest secrets.


Stop seeking where to lean, the truth, love, peace, happiness, support, beliefs, company, on the outside; for, to discover all this, you must go to the source of the Universe and of Life itself, and that is you.

Then, with this truth to all, you create your life and the world.\

Beyond it…

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right doing there is a field.  I’ll meet you there.  When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about.”  ~ Rumi; Persian Sunni Muslim poet, jurist, Islamic scholar, theologian, and Sufi mystic.

“Birth and death are events in time and space.  There is nothing but Life.”  ~ Dr. Betty Kovacs; scientific philosopher, businesswoman, and author.


Life is eternal, wise and ubiquitous, and the fact that Life itself branches out and offers these physical aspects which provide a rich experience for us to develop, springs a duality and creates birth and death; however, because physical life is just a small aspect or branch of Eternal Life, then it means that whatever–birth and death in this case–happens in the physical is really just an entrance and an exit.

22814348_380333145733387_5546634898382592379_n

See it as doors which we use to enrich the experience of Eternal Life, because in order for you to understand birth and death, thus in order to dissipate all fear and anxiety, you need to see this as doors into rich and wise experience.

Hello and Goodbye, in this sense, does not exist; but, however, only the mortal mind/the ego experiences it as hello in birth and goodbye in death.


So, birth and death are two concepts generated by the physical senses; because the duality of this life in the ignorant mind of man creates fear and the birth and death of superficial beauty–i.e., not true beauty, for it is bound to time and space.

There is then no greater deception than this, for this deception poisons the mind and causes all kinds of fears, it engineers a great distance between you and happiness, it mars the eternal beauty of Eternal Life, and it distorts reality of what this life period really is and how you should live it.

The Way…

“I do what I do because it is the right thing to do.  I am a warrior, and it is the way of the warrior to fight superior odds.”  ~ Paul Watson; Canadian marine wildlife conservation and environmental activist.

“Study strategy over the years and achieve the spirit of the warrior.  Today is victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is your victory over lesser men.”  ~ Miyamoto Musashi; expert Japanese swordsman, rōnin, and author.


How great and empowering to the human soul is to be aware of the struggles of our past, how we overcame those obstacles with sheer will and inner strength; but, however, sadly most people forget and begin seeing future challenges as daunting and as even greater than the ones they overcame in the past.

th
The Way to happiness and strength is inside you, found by living in the present moment, not in your memories of the past or visions of a future.  Become aware of this in your heart.
And that is when fear seizes their minds and petrifies them before further progress can be made.

And that is just the key to recall that challenging past, that strong word: ‘Awareness.’ 

See, life gives us challenges to analyze and learn how to master ourselves, how to strengthen our unruly minds and design our own paths; but the problem, which most people have, is that they are not really in the moment when they go through challenges–they are either thinking of the past or of the future–so their minds cannot really record or absorb the lessons in the present, thus they start forgetting what they lived through and the strength they have when new challenges arise.

So, to realize at all times that you are a warrior who can overcome all challenges set before you, you must practice awareness by analyzing and surveying your challenges, making a mental note of them and developing constant self-love; this will give your mind resilience and confidence, and you will not feel like a victim anymore but you will remember that you have the strength within you the moment you need it.

Alchemical purposes…

“The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.”  ~ Paulo Coelho.

“Why do we have to listen to our hearts?” the boy asked.  “Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you will find your treasure.”  ~ Paulo Coelho; Brazilian lyricist and novelist.

 

Alchemy is an ancient path of spiritual purification and transformation; the expansion of consciousness and the development of insight and intuition through images.  Alchemy is steeped in mysticism and mystery.  It presents to the initiate a system of eternal, dreamlike, esoteric symbols that have the power to alter consciousness and connect the human soul to the Divine.

 

The Light within each of us is the ultimate truth and reality, all deeds based on love and wisdom come from its brilliance, from its eternal devotion to all Creation and its divine process; however, only awakened individuals really understand this, because one truly understand this with the pure heart and not with the I.Q. or thought/ego.

Spiritual_Warfare_by_NylaRossini

And the highest percentage of the world, even though they can be nice and caring people, even highly knowledgeable into spiritual texts, are asleep and not aware of this profound truth and reality; therefore, the awakened ones for them do not exist, because they themselves in their massive egos feel the surface of the planet is what reality is–i.e., what they experience with their physical senses is it.

They lose themselves in this superficial nonsense.

 

But the ones among us who are truly awakened and so deem the most paramount subject that of mental elevation, indeed may be call true Alchemists.

And even though the road of alchemical wisdom is the road less traveled due to it being the opposite of illusion, of the ego, we must do our work diligently and faithfully in order to heighten our senses and expand self-love to reach that life-long summit of enlightenment, and so attract like-minds to populate the earth.

Planet Earth is going through a shift, we can recognize that; and that is why all the natural disasters, political and military upheavals and wars, and shifts of consciousness.

This can only mean one thing:  That life is moving forwards into a new face of evolution, such evolution of the Mind and the Invisible Forces; therefore, the wise ones must accept and keep moving forwards with it.

Into Life…

“There is no science in this world like physics.  Nothing comes close to the precision with which physics enables you to understand the world around you.  It’s the laws of physics that allow us to say exactly what time the sun is going to rise.  What time the eclipse is going to begin.  What time the eclipse is going to end.”  ~ Neil deGrasse Tyson; American astrophysicist, author, and science communicator.

 

There is a theory though that says that universes could be created inside black holes, that the extreme high densities of these space-time regions (too much gravity to hold itself creates too much pressure) represent singularities where the known laws of physics do not apply.

Physicists Stephen Hawking and Alan Guth suggested that under all this massive gravity, the region of this space-time would detach itself from the rest and create a universe of its own–which is believed is how our universe formed as well, and started the whole “big-bang” business.  So, is like the detachment of this space-time region forms itself a womb or birth canal where universes can be given life as well.

22496385_375988959501139_6562281070492934600_o

To understand this, I see each one of us as a unique universe–THE ALL or GOD being nature and all the creation that is around us, while allowing us to have life and form part of its masterful creation.

And so, when we unite man and woman, a child (another universe) is born, and then the child grows up, finds a partner (another universe), becomes one with that partner (universe) and gives birth to another universe (a child), and so on and so forth. In this theory, the unity process of man and woman would represent the black hole; so the black hole would be the conduit or energy formation, unity of the two (masculine and feminine energies) to form another life, another child, another universe.

4.1.1

In essence, if you deeply think about it, the birth of a black hole, as science describes it, is the most violent and colossal, prominent and powerful force in space, and it defies the same gravity and it breaks all the rules of space-time.  In the same sense, a woman giving birth to a child is the most prominent and powerful, as well as the most critical event that could ever happen in this physical life, and there is no other single event, that I can think of, that has more weight on how the universe progresses to create life or how our life changes drastically.

The hole in space.

“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.” ~ Buddha.

“On a cosmic scale, our life is insignificant, yet this brief period when we appear in the world is the time in which all meaningful questions arise.”  ~ Paul Ricoeur; French philosopher.

     

The hole in space

I saw the giant and revolving door
Of great cosmic energy and no floor,
Out into the stars of my own existence,
Far above the world, a great distance.
Deep into the bowels of my mind,
Beyond all the beliefs of mankind.
I left all the torture and agony,
All the self-pity and blasphemy;
I became who I was all along,
The secret hidden made me strong,
It shone and then I saw it bright,
The peace and warmth, the light.
I packed conscience and truth,
More mature I left my youth;
Now I feel peaceful and truly free,
Walking through absolute glee.

The Star Maker

The long path was dark and there was no light,
Extreme torture as my life seemed eternal night;
The long wait for a savior crippled my mind,
Ill depression had gotten my soul in a bind.
Stars they had told me shone in the sky,
But I was blind, my wings broken in twine.
Of acceptance there was no recognition,
My heart was suffering fatal perdition.

A beauty maker by craft of choice,
Once I had been an artist with poise,
Now I saw my lit tools to hell dissipate;
My mind wondered if this was fate.
It came one day as nature fed the eye,
As the wind did whistle and the bird fly;
The emotion arose as intense as it be,
The thought was veiled, the mind free.

Confusion and terror held me suddenly,
But soon I felt the moment most heavenly;
Then I saw the stars within me in their glory,
I remembered who I was and my story.
I had walked the path long before my form,
I was the fuel, the love, the peace, the warm.
I was The Star Maker and never lived in dark,
My thoughts had veiled the truth, the eternal spark.

The mighty and astute wolf.

“The Old Soul is more inclined to be a lifelong learner, constantly feeding his thirst for insight through his own persistent efforts.  His learning has not been forced into him through education or learned out of obligation, but has been absorbed out of curiosity and personal choice.”   ~ Aletheia Luna.

“It’s not uncommon for the Old Soul to experience some measure of depression, apathy or existential lethargy when it comes to living everyday life.  After all, if physical existence loses its star-spangled gleam, and everyday affairs lose their burning importance, what is the point of living a dull life?”  ~ Aletheia Luna; Australian spiritual writer, mystic and healer.

 

We all are eternal underneath this physical existence, and we all carry the memories and hidden aspects of many lifetimes flowing through our Infinite Intelligence; therefore, we all carry impressions of the past, of this life and of others before this one.  We are the energy inside the atoms which makes up everything we experience, and that is a spiritual as a scientific fact as well.

Then we all have tendencies of freedom in our soul, and tendencies of mental elevation; however, most people have a greater influence of the world in their thoughts and behaviors–it could be genetics, it could be the influence of the people around them, etc.  So, experiencing life and learning is different for all of us, but we all maintain the deep desire for free expression.

22045671_369738260126209_7617456712091209354_n

 

Some signs you are an old soul:  1)  You tend to be a solitary loner.  2) You love knowledge, wisdom and truth.   3) You’re spiritually inclined.  4)  You understand the transience of life.   5)  You’re thoughtful and introspective.  6) You see the bigger picture.  7) You were a strange, socially maladaptive kid.

 

Old souls just feel more empathy, more intense intuition into what the world calls maturity, and they do not experience life the same as the rest of the people in the world.  This is a reality, as I am myself an Old Soul, and I always have been different in many mental and emotional ways than the people around me, mostly my family.

Old Souls tend to experience more intense emotions and lean towards more specific occupations which involve the further development of those emotions in their lives–like spiritual teachers, artists, craftsmen, motivational and inspirational writers, life coaches, social work, etc.

The toxic fool.

“The reality is that the only way change comes is when you lead by example.”  ~ Anne Wojcicky; American biotech analyst, biologist, and businesswoman.

 

Have you noticed that most people are always complaining about something, even though they don’t see themselves as complainers…??  And what about all those individuals always focusing on politics and other people while their own lives are a mess and they feel themselves so self-righteous...??  The mediocrity of society.  This sickness is always ready to ruin more lives.

complaints
People even complain and feel pity about themselves instead of accepting and moving on.

I don’t think anyone of us is immune to it, but specially this is damaging for the weak mind which sees the world separated from itself.  When you see the world apart from yourself, you think in your own illusion that by complaining or lashing out with condemning words you are being helpful, thus you feel like you are doing something.  Obviously, these are rather pathetic fools that fail to see the reality of it all, namely ‘Oneness,’ that you and the world are one, and that only leading by example aids in changing the world.

Arguing and complaining just feeds the ego to bring more negativity into your persona and into your life; this, certainly so, affects the opportunities you have and the people you attract.  Mediocre minds are the highest percentage of the world’s population, and so we must focus our attention on leading by example–it could very well be on the small things, like helping carry groceries or taking care of someone sick.

 

As long as you keep complaining and arguing about the world, the outcomes in your life won’t be fruitful, because by being negative your mind is not accepting but denying, and exactly this corrupts your whole existence, it pollutes your whole existence.
“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.” ~ Buddha.

The discernment.

“Know the world in yourself. Never look for yourself in the world, for this would be to project your illusion.”  ~ Egyptian Proverb.

“The vision of the human being is confined today to the physical body.  One regards this as a reality; one cannot raise oneself to what is spiritual.  The souls who now look upon their own physical bodies with their eyes, and are unable to rise to what is spiritual, were incarnated among earlier peoples as Greeks, as Romans, and as ancient Egyptians.”  ~ Rudolf Steiner; Austrian philosopher, social reformer, architect and esotericist.

 

FOR THE TRULY AWAKENED ONES:

We can all agree that the world started its decline in all wisdom and levels of conscious awareness a long time ago, and this is why just a few of us are truly awakened to the basic reality, the rest of the world is just under a very thick blindfold that they do not even notice they are wearing. The ego is powerful and man in this state is very weak, guided by its physical senses and proclivities to follow other asleep individuals, namely religious institutions.

god1

In his commencement man was in search for absolute truth, the Alchemy of the mind and the condition of true freedom; and then, somewhere along the line of truth-seeking, the ego took over the minds of very blasphemous men, and insanity and narrow views veiled the world under heavy fog.

But, as it was written in the stars and in our encoded DNA, the ancient wisdom and light was passed on from initiate to initiate, and some men achieved inner vision into this eternal truth.

And even though the eternal truth might still be contested by the many sleeping men of the world, the awakened ones cannot deny it; for denying it would be denying yourself and accepting to live a lie every day with a blindfold which won’t allow the real light to shine on your life’s path.
