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.

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.

The road less traveled.

“Honesty is the fastest way to prevent a mistake from turning into a failure.”  ~ James Altucher; American hedge fund manager, entrepreneur, best-selling author, venture capitalist, and podcaster.


“Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness.  Thus goodness is attained.  Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest.  Thus honesty is attained.”   ~ Lao Tzu.


 

What does honesty mean…??  Can there be honesty–that is, clear insight, seeing things as they are–if there is a principle, an ideal, an ennobled formula…??   Can one be direct if there is confusion…??  Can there be beauty if there is the standard of what is beautiful or upright…??  When there is this division between what is and what should be, can there be honesty, or only an edifying and respectable dishonesty…?? 

Quite often being truly honest with people, and even with yourself, is the enemy of a lazy and mediocre ego; that is why most people tend to live their lives based not upon true honesty, either with themselves or others–i.e., they smoke while always telling themselves they will quit, they eat anything they want while lying about eating healthier, they keep secrets in their relationships, etc.

ths

Being truly honest is the road less traveled then, but it is the road to peace and self-love within yourself; because this process of honesty with yourself and with others brings right thoughts which bring inner strength to be truly unique, and it attracts more people like you via more positive energy, it empowers you in your own life.

To be honest means to have no illusions and confusions between the reality that is and what our ego/our crooked desire wants.  To get ahead in life, people’s ego makes them feel like they have to deceive and even design “small” lies; however, this is cowardice and a loss of purpose, because to be truly intelligent is to be driven by truth and a determinant focus on your daily goals, and to have these traits you have to embrace truth, if you embrace truth your whole human experience changes and there is no room for lies or “small” deceptions.

And to be honest and truthful in a society which is crooked and twists all truth to its whim, is rather difficult and rare; but it is the sign that we are ready to take on bigger challenges in life, because life is wisdom and is always testing us to remain firm and truthful in adversity.

Being honest and truthful to yourself and to others will always attract the right opportunities into your life, if you are patient and determinate enough to reach your daily goals.

Inner Power.

“Each Warrior wants to leave the mark of his will, his signature, on important acts he touches.  This is not the voice of ego but of the human spirit, rising up and declaring that it has something to contribute to the solution of the hardest problems, no matter how vexing!”  ~ Pat Riley; American professional basketball executive, and a former coach and player in the NBA.


“The two worst strategic mistakes to make are acting prematurely and letting an opportunity slip; to avoid this, the warrior treats each situation as if it were unique and never resorts to formulae, recipes or other people’s opinions.”  ~ Paulo Coelho; Brazilian lyricist and novelist.


 

In this life we are all warriors, we are here to navigate through challenges and learn from them with wisdom and meditation, and by mastering our minds and bodies we sure conquer all obstacles in our path; but, however, there are the ones who accept this role and the ones who do not, and the difference is the inner strength you summon to affront life’s challenges and the strategy with which you do.

instagram-quotes-new-warrior-lion

 

The warrior summons this inner strength by being truly unique and by not following others, and this is why most people in the world do not accept their role as warriors, but they think they are just on earth to exist and get by until death comes.  This is a waste of life, for life is rich with wisdom and experience, and human beings are here to realize what they really are and wake up from all forms of man-made nonsense–i.e., all ignorant thought-created chains like religions, politics, and so on and so forth.

 

Remember then that life is not just to exist and go with the flow of time, but life must be your most precious gift that you should analyze and appreciate, put attention and battle when you must as a warrior. 

Don’t let other people and even circumstances infiltrate your mind and deter you from accomplishing something great.

Take care of your mind and body. Be always yourself and be ready to face challenges without fear, knowing that challenges are a part of life just like fats are a part of any food–the difference is how you eat and what you eat, and with challenges is how you take on challenges and what challenges you take on.

The lion walks alone.

“The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any.”  ~ Alice Walker; American novelist, short story writer, poet, and activist.


“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.”  ~ Albert Einstein.


 

In order to attain great, first your mind should be great, because all is mind and it all starts from mind; therefore, for a mind to be truly great, such shall be cleansed from the examples of a mediocre society and free from the chains of other people’s opinions and beliefs.  This mind must be unique in EVERY way; no fear shall be validated and fed, for this mind dwells in self-love and in its own purpose, and so that is all it knows.

You have to be yourself and create your own values in your own path, and that way you are the master of yourself, of your inner strength because you don’t depend on society for anything now; subsequently, due to this inner strength you have created within yourself, people can say whatever they want, economies will collapse, challenges will arise, but you will remain strong and resilient to all.

22554755_375781752855193_4823488760070724879_n

“One of the greatest attacks of the enemy is to make you busy, to make you hurried, to make you noisy, to make you distracted, to fill the people of God and the Church of God with so much noise and activity that there is no room for prayer. There is no room for being alone with God. There is no room for silence. There is no room for meditation.”  ~ Paul Washer; American Christian evangelist.

In moments of great challenges is when we must trust ourselves the most and accept whatever is, and stop allowing the activities and the noise, the opinions and the beliefs of others to affect us.  When it comes to energy vampires, even though most ignorant people would not agree with this, it is about our minds and nothing else; therefore, absolutely no one can take away your peace and love if you don’t allow them, if you do not give in to what they say, to anger and to the fear and negativity they spread around you.

cosmic-meditation

“Sometimes, being different feels a lot like being alone. But with that being said, being true to that and being true to my standards and my way of doing things in my art and my music, everything that has made me feel very different, in the end, it has made me the happiest.”  ~ Lindsey Stirling; music artist.

So, appreciate those times when you can be by yourself and recharge, by knowing yourself, your thoughts and emotions; thus, you can grow in self-confidence and all self-love, so nothing can affect you and your mind becomes wiser to affront the turmoils of life.  Be perseverant and true to yourself, and don’t let the mediocrity of the masses attack and poison your integrity and your determination.

Study Lao Tzu’s wisdom in this: “I have three treasures.  Guard and keep them.  The first is deep love.  The second is frugality.  And the third is not to dare to be ahead of the world.  Because of deep love, one is courageous.  Because of frugality, one is generous.  Because of not daring to be ahead of the world, one becomes the leader of the world.”

Mental evolution.

“If the thinker can understand himself, then the whole problem is solved. Then he is creation, he is reality; and then what he does will not be antisocial. Virtue is not an end in itself; virtue brings freedom, and there can be freedom only when the thinker, which is the mind, ceases. That is why one has to understand the process of the mind, the ‘I’, the bundle of desires that create the ‘I’, my property, my wife, my ideas, my God. Surely it is because the thinker is so confused that his actions are confused; it is because the thinker is confused that he seeks reality, order, peace.”  ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti; philosopher, public speaker, and author.


 

Mental evolution, the heights of the human mind, is the deep understanding of our own psychology; however, this mental understanding goes beyond psychology books and ancient philosophies, this mental evolution is a shedding of layers on our psyche.

Difference-between-Mental-Illness-and-Disorder

This shedding of layers corresponds to the higher man in each one of us, and the higher man is the one that is truly free from its mind’s content–i.e., free from beliefs and rules designed by others, free from fantastical and rebellious ideas, free from his own selfish concepts and behaviors, etc.

In order for man to really experience constant and pure bliss, and thus be open to each moment with acceptance without being attached to people or things, he must search within himself and take time to know his psychology as the thinker, as the supreme being who is in charge of ruling over his own thoughts, emotions, and over the events in his life.

Unless said man do this with divine wisdom daily, he cannot enjoy the eternal fruits of life.

Higher planes.

“Man’s status in the natural world is determined, therefore, by the quality of his thinking.”  ~ Manly P. Hall; Canadian author, lecturer, astrologer, and mystic.


 

High mental elevation can be described as the communion with higher understanding which truly frees your soul from all of society’s chains–i.e., religious beliefs and dogmas, energy-blocking foods, selfish and unwise behaviors, and overall following and praising of the masses.

th
Onto higher mental planes.

And high mental elevation is then not something popular or common in the world, and this is why you will not find this in many people–regardless of how spiritual and good-hearted they claim to be.

This is why the true sage is not at the same level of understanding of the masses, because he does not feel fulfilled with meager crumbs like the rest, because he dwells in higher mental planes the common man cannot even imagine.

This leads us to the true purpose of life, the one that is beyond the mere existence you see around you, the one that cannot be understood by the crowds.

Human existence is given to us as a mystery to unfold, not just as a mortal plane to experience and live through until death; but it is a hidden puzzle living in each moment, one that only a high mind is allowed to discover.

And it is because of this hidden puzzle that lower minds act with lower understanding, because they cannot see and experience the discoveries related to the puzzle the higher minds are allowed to see and experience.

The steps to elevate your mind are quite obvious and they serve the highest purpose yet, The Liberation of Your Humanity:

1 Leaving all beliefs from other men, religions, and books.

  2- Believe ONLY your own experiences, not your ideas or thoughts but your experiences.

3- Always be curious and do research, find out things on your own.

4- Practice self-love before loving others; realize that the way you talk to yourself and the way you behave makes your reality, and your reality makes you experience happiness and confidence to be better.  And then you can truly love and help others.

And so, it is only when one elevates his own mind that life, in its richer, much more meaningful state, allows itself to be peered into and experienced fully as it transfigures your whole human existence to grander heights.

Flowing energy.

“The key to meditation is focusing on specific symbols.  The symbols are the chakras.”  ~ Dr. Frederick Lenz; spiritual teacher, software designer, businessman, record producer, and author.


“Spiritual balance is how you deal with opposition, outside of yourself and within.  Spiritual balance is Tai Chi.  It is the center of things.  It is the place where yin and yang meet.  In the chakras, it is considered the heart chakra, anahata.” ~ Dr. Frederick Lenz.


 

The word “Chakra” comes from the Sanskrit word for wheel, and is more commonly translated to mean a point of physical or spiritual energy in the human body.

The seven chakras are the centers in our bodies in which energy flows through.  Blocked energy in our seven chakras can often lead to illness, so it is important to understand what each chakra represents and what we can do to keep this energy flowing freely.

22489740_374331399666895_5281482910579817613_n

 

They key word then is ‘understanding.’  Understanding how to balance your life, your inner self and your outer self; therefore, balance is everything which brings bliss, but the ego tends to lean towards one side or the other and not to the middle where there is balance–i.e., strict healthy diet or lots of sugar and fat, lots of sex or abstinence from all sex, exercise for hours every day or no exercise at all, focusing on the misery of the world all day or living in your illusion, etc. etc.

That is why falling in the trap of the ego leads one to all self-destructive behavior–physiologically, mentally, spiritually, and financially wise.

It is extremely important then that you take care of your body and mind, by eating the right foods and not just the foods that you find attractive and that you are used to eating, by being positive and not stressing yourself over every event in your life, by practicing good and wise behavior towards yourself and towards others, by being in the moment and enjoying fully whatever is happening right now (whether pleasant or unpleasant), etc.

It is wise then to always have in mind great balance in all you do in order to clean your energy and be free to embrace a full happy existence.

Forged unbreakable.

“Stay true to yourself, yet always be open to learn.  Work hard, and never give up on your dreams, even when nobody else believes in you.  These are not cliches but real tools you need no matter what you do in life to stay focused on your path.”  ~ Phillip Sweet; musician.


“I will keep smiling, be positive and never give up!  I will give 100 percent each time I play.  These are always my goals and my attitude.”  ~ Yani Tseng; Taiwanese professional golfer playing on the U.S.-based LPGA Tour. She is the youngest player ever, male or female, to win five major championships.


 

In life you will have challenges that will try to really, deeply break you and show you the light you really are, and this cannot be avoided because life is wiser than any of us and knows exactly what you are capable to overcome; therefore, your enemy shall not be the challenges themselves, but the people around you and also your own ego, for they will try to infect you and sicken you so weakness may overwhelm you and the light in you gets lost.

stopbadvibes_compressed

Life tries to break you through big challenges, indeed it does in its unlimited wisdom, because in order to be reborn into the light you must die, or your old, weaker self must die and be forged in the pits of hell to now re-emerge as the unstoppable god who is not deterred by any mediocrity around him.

It took me years, but after my father’s death I understood that human beings have been given much more strength than we think, and this might be obvious to some; however, until you really realize this in your heart and embrace it by creating a path of self-discipline, you won’t really experience this mighty truth in your existence.

Remember who you truly are beyond all thoughts of self-pity you may have.  Remember that the only true reality comes to you when your mind is free from the influence of others.

Stop talking about your goals and dreams, and use that energy to step by step go towards them.

Forge your own destiny!

Do not let others infect you with their words and actions.jpg

The Fearless Master.

“It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.”  ~ Theodore Roosevelt; American statesman, author, explorer, soldier, naturalist, reformer, and United States President.


“Don’t obsess about the failures. Instead, investigate and close the successes.” ~ Chip Heath; motivational author and public speaker.


 

Quite often life challenges us and the human mind mind gets so overwhelmed with illusions of miserable failure and great embarrassment in front of others that we tend to sabotage ourselves, we shrink a little and smile on the outside but our emotional states are not elevated one bit.  This is when the ego is allowed to rule our lives.

539031258197923

To act opposite the ego and its depressive chatter in this case is truly wise, because to reach true success means getting out of your comfort zone and becoming a Master of new life philosophies, a Master of your mind.

A master of your mind does not mean that you are always free of thoughts of failure, but it means that you have raised yourself above those thoughts and that now you can see them without engaging with them, without allowing these same thoughts to take you over and cloud your judgement in life.
