The free mind of a human god!

Reality Creator.

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought.  The mind is everything.  What we think we become.”  ~ Buddha.

“You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind.”  ~ Joyce Meyer.

The world is a perception of the physical senses.  Scientifically, we know that all you experience every day is what your mind tells you.

You only know the world based on your mind and based on what you allow your mind to contain; therefore, whatever you feed your mind–as in thoughts, environments, people with whom you interact, books you read, shows you watch, words you use–is what your experience is going to be, is what your mind is going to tell you about the world.

state-of-mind
You cannot experience true happiness in your life if your mind contains violence, hatred, jealousy, lust, and all obsessions which excite and make this same mind confused and rushing all the time.


As Buddha says ‘What you think, you become.’  Learn then the art of feeding your mind properly, the art of exercising your mind daily to make it strong and ready to help you experience the happiness and success you desire.

Embrace the scepter of wisdom and create your life by creating your own mind first. The secrets of your life and all successes you may achieve, secrets of yourself, of God, of the universe, lie in your own mind.

Truly, in your mind is all you will ever need, and if you do not feed your mind properly you cannot expect greatness to occur; so, read carefully, ‘it does not matter your intentions and your heart, if your mind is not filled by purity and strength, then you will waste your life and you will never be really happy.’


This is Universal Law.

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

The Before Illusion…

“Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go.”  ~ Hermann Hesse; German-born poet, novelist, and painter.

“Letting go helps us to to live in a more peaceful state of mind and helps restore our balance. It allows others to be responsible for themselves and for us to take our hands off situations that do not belong to us. This frees us from unnecessary stress.”  ~ Melody Beattie; American author of self-help books on codependent relationships.


One of the greatest sicknesses the ego uses to pollute our bodies is the past, namely attachment; attachment to memories, to experiences that are long gone and that have somehow designed an image of pride and victimization which we choose to not let go.

he-who-clings-to-nothing-of-the-past-present-and-5556144

This inevitably brings mental suffering and it expands like poison into our bodies, soon our daily thoughts and behaviors become affected and we emanate this negative energy into the outer environment, thus affecting our image and the opportunities in all aspects of life.


The process is very addictive because in great ignorance people start believing that it helps anyhow, but it only designs the illusion that the suffering somehow aids in preparation for a future, perhaps that it makes you stronger, perhaps that it cleanses you from some considered sin.

This is giving your ego control over your existence, for in this way you distance yourself from the Light within you and you bury self-love to become slave of the past, crippled by 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.

Forging steel.

“Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.”  ~ Marcus Aurelius; Roman emperor.

“The unexamined life is not worth living.”  ~ Socrates; Greek philosopher.


Life is not just some state we have to go through and experience, but life is a gift, the greatest blessing; and much more than that, life is something we create in order to reach experiences that fit our individual personas as human beings.

You cannot follow in the footsteps of others and expect your life to be some mirror reflection, but you must design your own life, correct your destiny, forge yourself into the person you want in your heart to be.

Forge-Steph-8470_rec-662x446
Forge yourself!

You have to savor the process of falling in love with mighty patience, enjoying the present and experiencing the bliss in you.  Be wary of your conduct, watch yourself and analyze, study, let time be your ally as you trust whatever you go through in your life; and so, wise is the patient one, for patience is loving yourself enough to respect this process of trust.
But as you trust, you must be diligent because challenges will arise and shake you, so keep your head up high and do not quit whatever ignites your heart with a noble passion.

The fact is that life is perfect flow, but this world we inhabit, this society is flawed and far from perfect; so, you must watch your mind and your expectations, do not let your own ego create false expectations and reflections which may soon cripple you when things don’t go as you planned them.

Do your daily work with wisdom and do not carry yourself forth with ambitious and selfish desires; and in order to gain wisdom, you must silence the chatter of your mind and listen to your heart without interruptions.

And as well when dealing with people, it is wise to listen to what they say instead of listening to yourself and your grandiose ego.

The bully which rises…

“Did I offer peace today?  Did I bring a smile to someone’s face?  Did I say words of healing?  Did I let go of my anger and resentment?  Did I forgive?  Did I love?  These are the real questions.  I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.”  ~ Henri Nouwen; Dutch Catholic priest, professor, writer, and theologian.

“When anger rises, think of the consequences.”  ~ Confucius.

 

We have all felt neglected, jealous, not understood, emotionally hurt, or psychologically insulted at some point in our lives; but, you must understand that anger is not something they made us feel in reality, such anger is something we chose to think and then create as an explosive feeling–due to our environments, events, ignorant people, yes; but anger is always a thought you create.

9082728_orig

The management of our physical senses dictates what thoughts pop up into our minds, and thus which feelings we follow or allow to affect us–i.e., for example, if you cannot control your jealousy and you are always watching how others live and so compare their lives to yours, you might get angry at your life because you don’t have the opportunities for economic growth your neighbor has.

 

Anger is a thought which is not rational, and it only exists because we have formed a prideful image in our minds; and due to the ego most of the time not being rational either, you have now a perfect recipe for self-destruction.

When you see misery, poverty, animals being killed, wars, etc., in the world, you feel compassion and great empathy for the suffering of others. But why do you get angry…??  Does compassion exists along anger…??  Isn’t love or compassion the only reality and anger the thought which the ego creates out of selfish ignorance…??  Why follow the ego and get angry then…??

Anger is selfish by its illusive nature because it poisons and veils the clarity of God, of pure Love; therefore, when you allow your mind to create emotions or feelings of anger, you distance yourself from the ultimate reality and follow your own designed illusion. 

You leave the Light of God to follow your own ego, which in your stressed mind might be an accepted process of love; however, true love and anger can never exist together–i.e., one is reality, the other a deceitful poison.

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.

Like water…

“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.”  ~ George Bernard Shaw; Irish playwright, critic and polemicist.

178eb-1421180987966

“You must be shapeless, formless, like water.  When you pour water into a cup, it becomes the cup.  When you pour water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle.  When you pour water into a teapot, it becomes the teapot.  Water can drip and it can crash…  Become like water, my friend.”

All over the world people confuse intelligence with knowledge–i.e., knowledge is information, rigid data which serves a purpose in analyzing and categorizing certain constructs and patterns; but, on the other hand, intelligence goes beyond it, because it is our inner strength and our imagination at work here, our adaptability to change, and the realization that life is ever moving forwards like the the wise but steady flow of a beautiful river.

It is not intelligence to have memory and recite Shakespeare or do math equations, because these are patterns you can re-construct and analyze in your mind from a data-base in this same conscious mind–most likely learned from school, a teacher, or a book.   This is what the world praises and recognizes as intelligence and genius, but this is just the seat of thought/the ego–our conscious thought is just the surface of our mind/our humanity, but intelligence lies beyond the surface.  Take for example your human body–even though ignorant people think you are what you see in the mirror, you really are the energy moving your body/the divine energy within each cell making up the physical body.

 

The photo below clearly states that intelligence is the ability to adapt to change, such ability that we all have; however, many people fall trap of a lazy and comfortable ego, they are attached to cultures and lifestyles, to traditions and memories, and they suffer because of this neglectful process against experiencing a richer, wiser life.
22491803_1472740539441577_8056678045611632568_n
Happiness, absolute bliss can only be embraced and experienced if we move along with life, within its wisdom and without being attached to something in the past.
It is the wise sage the one who sees change and enjoys change, because he knows that in this hides the secret to enjoy the eternal present which moves ever forward with life.

Poetry and prose from the heart. Stories to ponder. The free mind of a human god!

Through our hands…

“Whenever I climb I am followed by a dog called ‘Ego’.”  ~ Friedrich Nietzsche.

 

The Ego Dissolves

The red roses had nearly died,
The passionate youth had begun its cry,
As my heart rose with a poor beat,
As my ego had increased its bleat;
The winter was here and I immersed in pain,
Air terribly cold and full of memories the rain.
As I saw the cattle in tender embrace,
The birds in love under God’s grace,
The sky giving birth to the lovely cloud,
The currents whispering sweet care loud,
While I walked the lonely road
And depression within me flowed,
Felt I the sins of my mind,
Illusions of separation which led me blind.
You and I had grown apart,
We had neglected the pure heart,
Our pride and foolishness had won,
Ego as powerful as the loaded gun;
Our first meeting had begun red as the flower,
Then our eye deviated from the flame of all power.
Surely the one I was which buried the soul,
The one which took from us the goal;
You were the firm and steady rock,
Of this tender strength I admit I was the block.
But later my heart contemplated the truth,
Yes, Of the heart the passionate youth.
A wise lesson hidden under the painful story,
Your voice came to my mind and this was glory,
God throughout my form, the energy was intense;
The wisdom of love and the growth of character hence.
With the free flow of love The Ego Dissolves,
With the full expression of the spirit the mind evolves.

S_eparation is seen as the greatest illusion when true love exists in your life. Only the moment the ego dissolves true love appears._

 

“He who treats his woman like a princess is a living proof that the woman who raised him is a Queen.”  ~ Unknown.

 

Through our hands…
From many a travel beyond the stars,
From two passionate soul memoirs,
The energy which sizzles connection,
Profound love through our affection.

Through our hands we feel the stars so bright,
Into the cosmos the link when they hold tight;
The purest sensation of warmth and care,
The love incandescent which the souls bear.

The mysteries of Creation so vast
Meet not in the future or the past;
The present holds the secrets of All,
As our love dances in the Celestial Hall.

Through our hands the sleeper wakes into reality,
Into the horizon we gaze the heavenly totality;
The magic now overtakes us in sacred communion,
Love expands within us to make the purest union.

Just a reminder about love…

“Many times I say learn the art of love, but what I really mean is:  Learn the art of removing all that hinders love.  It is a negative process.  It is like digging a well: You go on removing many layers of earth, stones, rocks, and then suddenly there is water.  The water was always there; it was an undercurrent.  Now you have removed all the barriers, the water is available.  So is love: Love is the undercurrent of your being.  It is already flowing, but there are many rocks, many layers of earth to be removed.”  ~ Osho; Indian mystic, guru, and spiritual teacher.

 

I particularly like the above quote from Osho because it guides me to enlightenment:  It states that there is nothing we have to do to learn to love, the love essence is there, deep inside we are it; however, to experience and share that love we just have to remove all the obstacles to truly express that same love towards ourselves and towards someone else–i.e., the obstacles being the ego, as in condemning behaviors, judging looks, obsessing about an imagined relationship, jealousy, etc.

22540153_502954046733055_426436063830285405_n

 

And in this one he is again talking about Oneness, the importance of thinking and feeling in terms of one essence, love.  When in a committed relationship, if the mind makes a distance and starts thinking in terms of two, then there will always be differences and annoyances; but if we allow our minds to be one with our hearts, then we’ll start experiencing the relationship as one–i.e., whatever you do to make your partner happy makes you happy as well, and vice versa:

“In real love there is no relationship, because there are not two persons to be related to.  In real love there is only love, a flowering, a fragrance, a melting, a merging.  Only in egoistic love are there two persons, the lover and the loved.  And whenever there is the lover and the loved, love disappears.  Whenever there is love, the lover and the beloved both disappear into love.”  ~ Osho.

Chains of illusion.

“In search of the Truth that shall sustain, uphold, and guide you, you have looked outwards and sought for it objectively, and thus have been lost in the shadows of manifestation. To find that spring of Truth you must look within, you must purify your heart and mind.”  ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti; spiritual teacher, philosopher, public speaker, and author.

 

Everyone in the world falls in confusion, they search for that truth which will give them happiness and freedom; but, not knowing what happiness and freedom really are and feel like, they believe ignorantly that acquiring pleasures in relationships, economy, and societal positions in general will bring this happiness and freedom into their lives.

featured
Even though they can be spiritual and kind people, the ego has a massive hold in each their lives, so much so their heart’s purity is buried under all this poisonous garbage without their awareness.

While they search for this divine Light outside, they neglect more and more what they have within them.  Because they admit that they are weak, because they maintain that they cannot stand without the support of another, they have been given crutches that will support them momentarily, instead of developing their own strength to go forward in search of the pure waters of Truth. So, they lean on churches and temples, on philosophers and saints, on the Quran and the Bible and other texts.

Thus, they, by neglecting and burying deeper and deeper the Light within them (under beliefs and the words of others), imprison themselves, chain themselves without knowing, farther and farther away from true happiness and freedom.

But if you are wise, you must free yourself and search for the key to freedom within you.
