Beyond the Noise

To whom it may concern. Because life can be messy, conflicting, confusing, and there is no path set or destiny to straighten you while you live it. You may pretend, claim to be this or that, decorate well your outside for others to see. People do this every day. But this only adds fuel to the spirit of self-neglect, until you realize the core of your own life.

And that’s because, above all, your life is no more than your mind. The world and all its experiences are the result of billions of minds, of billions of people like you trying to find themselves in what others have brought into the world already. Neglecting yourself is only trying to find yourself in the world, in the reality others have created.

One can travel places, amass fortunes, become religious, study all kinds of knowledge, jump from relationship to relationship, have families and follow traditions. But all the messy, the conflicting, the doubt, the hurt, will remain until you let go of the world and its fake and marketed exploration of the self.

It’s impossible to find who you really are out there, because the noisy world is not a perfect mirror of yourself. The world, as created by man, everywhere, is about selling you something. That is how societies thrive. Whether selling you engaging experiences, manufactured emotions, religious fanaticism, ancient or new philosophies, objects you do not really need.

But, know this, the only thing that is real is your mind, because there you find the source of the hurt, of the excitement, of the fear, of the passions, of everything that makes your feel and behavior. It is extremely personal. And if you can study, daily, your mind, then you can see and feel how you are nothing like the world, how above it you are, and how there are millions of shadows and burdens living in your psyche that are not you.

Without chains…

What it creates…

So many man-made divisions in the world today. So many illusions of the mind that bring prejudice, jealousy, hatred. So many beliefs and philosophies that put people in boxes with labels. And all, whether you know it or not, separate and estrange people. Democrats. Republicans. Independents. Christian. Muslim. Black. White. Wealthy. Poor. Woke. Non-woke.

The truth is not found in a group like a political party, or in a specific religion, or in the color of someone’s skin, or in the geographical origin of someone. The truth is universal. But a philosophy, or a belief, or the idea that skin color is better or worse–this is all happening in someone’s mind, which is born from the ego of someone and not a reality. Society takes these ideas and creates propaganda, systems that due to repetition stay in your subconscious.

How it works…

And how the subconscious works is subtle: Information enters it without your conscious knowledge–could be a commercial, could be a political speech, could be from a book you have read, could be from something that was said to you in childhood. It stays there, all your life. You live your life without knowing it, but it is there. And then, one day, you start believing that information that has now transferred from your subconscious to your conscious.

And your attitudes start changing. Your thoughts and your actions become corrupted, bias, and even irrational. Because what triggers the way you behave today, your habits, your addictions, your attachments, and the way you see yourself and the world around you is the information that is in your conscious mind right now. This is the information that was once in your subconscious. This is how your mind works, how my mind works, and how their minds work. No exceptions, not one.

What it means…

So, to know yourself is knowing your subconscious mind and how it operates. To know yourself is to understand all the bias and wrong information that once entered your subconscious and stayed there, and that now has transferred to your conscious and rules the way you think and behave. Not knowing yourself brings division, suffering, jealousy, hatred, and all negative outcomes to your life. Knowing yourself gives you freedom from all these.

This true freedom is happiness. Because happiness is freedom to think for yourself, without bias, without beliefs, without religions, without politics, without philosophies, and without anything that chains you to a narrow way of thinking and feeling. This makes you unique. Uniqueness does not exist in a group, in a religion, in a political party, in a skin color, or in anything else society sells you in their propaganda. Uniqueness means to live in this world without allowing yourself to be enslaved by it.

The secret

Be honest with yourself: Do you have it??

-Love is what we all seek. But don’t give it a form. True love does not have a form. True love is that one feeling that gives you strength, purpose, self-confidence, and joy daily. It does not matter if you are poor or rich, if you are in a relationship or not, if you have education or not, if you are accepted or mistreated by others.

-Do you have this?? It does not make you clingy to anything or to anyone. It does not make you anxious at all. It just is. And it feels like absolute freedom, it doesn’t matter the troubles or burdens you carry. So, ask yourself with honesty if you have true love in your life.

It is about you, no one and nothing else.

-If you do, cherish it. And you do so, by not becoming attached to anything. Once you allow your mind to become attached to anything at all, you lose that feeling of freedom and you become a slave to the form, to the philosophy, to the object, to the person, to the situation, to the world. So, have you asked yourself yet??

-If you do not have in your life, it might be time to work on yourself. Age is never an excuse. Responsibilities are not an excuse. Let me tell you: I am big on self-development. I have had challenges and tests in my life, and I hated them. But long after that I had a realization. Nothing changes unless you change yourself. Love and happiness is really an inner work.

-Family, money, status, education, and all the rest won’t give you that inner freedom to live a better life and remain always positive, calm, and strong enough to empowered yourself. The more you understand yourself, why you think the way you think, why you cling to ideas, why you suffer the way you suffer, and why you seek what you seek in life, the more open-minded you will be and the more power you will add to yourself.

Mirroring

Choice

-There exists two worlds, two dimensions, two perceptions that rule everything we think and feel. Our wellbeing is based on this. Our personal level of awareness dictates which perception we choose. Night or day. Light or darkness. Self-love or self-hate.

-Love or attachment. Happiness or unhappiness. Whatever we choose, or subconsciously choose, is to be the cause for the quality of our lives, for our thoughts, for our feelings. Life is not what causes it, because life is no more than the reflection of your unique choice.

At All Levels

-Pain, suffering, evil, bad events exist; but not as reality, for the only reality is choice. And choice is originated by the level of awareness of the being. Imagine life without awareness, without choice. It doesn’t exist, because choice doesn’t exist.

-Choice from any being is what creates events whether good or bad. Disasters in nature seem to be caused by nature itself, but they are not. Whether at micro level or at macro level, it is always choice. Disasters in nature are caused by the choices of beings, whether from current times or a long time ago, whether cells, humans, animals.

What it is

-Nothing is created without choice. If there is any magic in existence is created by choice. Consciousness is nothing without choice, because to be conscious itself is a choice. So, just understand that the way you feel about your life, about yourself, about someone else, about love, about anything, is your unique choice.

-Are you attached to your suffering?? That creates a choice. Are you thinking without bias and influence?? That creates a choice as well. You create your life with your choice–second after second, knowing or without knowing. See it for what it is.

Self-care 101

Take Responsibility

A little tough love, because the truth might hurt your ego now; but only this brings true freedom, which is increased capacity for love and happiness. The world around you does not understand what love and happiness is. They do not understand where it originates either. But why should you remain one more amongst the sheep and ignorant??

So, the way we show ourselves care, love, empathy, and commitment to our own well-being is not just by desiring it. It’s by taking action and getting out of our comfort zones. You research for food that is healthy for you. You avoid buying foods that are unhealthy for you. You commit to exercise and you make it your priority.

Stop with The Excuses

You must put yourself first and dedicate time for these activities. Ignore commercials trying to sell you what is not healthy. Ignore what your family and friends eat. Ignore what the world shoves in front of you as bad influence, because your health and happiness is only something you create by personal/individual action.

You cannot blame, or put the responsibility on others when it comes to this. This might sound harsh to you, but as long as you keep seeking excuses, or even postponing it, you will not become truly self-aware. Self-awareness begins inside you and it is about getting rid of your stubbornness, comfort, and ignorance. Accept and live the truth.

Get rid of all your bad habits. All of them. Study your actions and see what you have to change. Do not dwell on it. Do not overthink it. Because, if you do, then excuses will take over and kill the light of intelligence dawning in your mind. And, think about it, it is not just about you; but it is about giving the best example to the ones you love. Are you still making excuses??

Life Over Death

In those moments of anxiety, of trying to figure out what will happen next, allow your mind to let it go and focus on giving your best in the present. What is the point of stressing about something that is not yet here?? Death is a state of the mind that cripples the ability to live daily with joy.

There is no mastery of anything in life if man cannot master his own moment. Living life is an emotional roller coaster, filled with its ups and downs, guided by the behavior of our minds. So, the mind must be in peace with itself in order to enjoy life and its moments.

The mind must not struggle with anxiety. The mind must be a place where one can carefully think, analyze without bias, and find freedom to create feelings of joy regardless of the events happening in our lives. Beauty exists only in freedom. Beauty is what, consciously aware or not, we all seek in life.

But beauty is something which is only discovered when you pause and reflect, when you stop dying and growing mentally old. Age is something of the mind. One can remain young, creative, energetic, attractive, charming, even if the body becomes old. The passage of time has no control of the moment. It is only when you are living in the past and in the future that you bring aging to your mind.

And what makes the mind age–get stressed, unattractive, slow, judgmental, negative, dull, etc–is anxiety and all its effects. Effects that actually change our mental and physical structure, that also make us dull and unable to love and live our best life. Because death is a state of mind that cripples the ability to live daily with joy.

You hold the key

It is about your growth

Never regret your past. Whatever it was, embrace it instead. If it is a painful past, let go of your pride and self-pity; then allow yourself to learn from it, and use what you learn to increase your understanding of yourself, of others, and of life.

If it is a happy past, cherish the memories. Don’t expect it to come back, and don’t hold on to the feeling with obsession; but let it go, observe from a distance, and use the good in it to bring you a mindset of love and positivity.

True freedom

What is true freedom…??

Keeping the peace in your mind is the most important thing you can do in your life. A calm mind brings trust, insight, confidence, self-control, great creativity, the capacity for great joy, and it helps you stay grounded and see new possibilities.

Facing life can be daunting, it can make you insecure, it can bring you overwhelming overthinking. And freedom is not really in more money, a great relationship, a religion, or anything else. Freedom is the capacity to create your own joy, in your own mind, without any influence from the exterior.

This sounds easy to comprehend, and it is. Not so easy to apply in your own mind, every day, without excuses. Still, if you really think about it, it is crucial to feel love, happiness, and reach success in life. A peaceful mind leads you to make less mistakes, and it leads you to accept yourself, others, life, and all experience as it is. That is true freedom.

Initiating change

Find the Strength

Overthinking is what creates confusion and fear. Change must be an act. Don’t think about how hard, or how strange, or how challenging it will be. But find the strength in your heart, not in your mind.

I know from personal experience that one must initiate change without analyzing to death every scenario that could or could not happen. The intellectual mind has no chance of self-fulfillment.

This overthinking cripples you, it makes you find excuses, it strengthens your ego to create biased “logic” to keep you chained to old habits. You really go nowhere like this.

Act on It

Love and happiness is in you, but is known through a mental expansion, an open-mindedness, new perspectives and experiences. You only find these when you welcome and initiate change in your life.

Needless to say, nobody knows for certain what the future holds, because it is a creation based on choices you must make now. New, bold, challenging choices that lead to great change. More than dreaming it, acting on it.

Finding Balance

Balance

What do women (the feminine) bring to the world?? Perhaps beauty, inspiration, empathy, patience, hope, creativity, etc. What do men (the masculine) bring to the world?? Perhaps Stubbornness, ideals, ambition, impulsiveness, courage, etc.

Imagine a world without women–a world lacking those traits. Imagine a world without men–a world lacking those traits. If we really think about it, without our own pride getting in the way, they both bring balance to each other.

Details

Although one can seem much more important than the other. But is it?? Nothing is perfect. No one is perfect. Each one of us carries influence from another, from a man, from a woman.

The devil is in the details. God too. Watch your own thoughts, your own way of thinking, your own behaviors and habitual ways. Find out who you are and why you may hold and carry grudges from your past, from other persons–whether men or women.

Freedom

So many mental distortions and illnesses are born from not knowing who we really are. Childhood traumas or influences seep into our unknown psyches (subconscious), then come out in our known psyches (conscious).

Freedom, the capacity to experience happiness and love. This comes only to us if we are absolutely honest with ourselves. I’m talking about that self-exploration that goes beyond the opinions, ideas, influences, and “prescriptions” society offers us to keep us subservient.

Questioning

Subservient because, the way society is formed, it all runs on profit. Financial profit. Religious profit. It is all about mental (emotional) manipulation disguised as freedom, as love, as happiness.

So, what happens?? The weak-minded, the ones who lack that self-exploration, chase, and chase, and chase what they offer. The pursuit of happiness. Without ever questioning. But is there really freedom in this prison??
