Nothing outside…

“There is no power outside of man. Man has created God out of fear. So, the problem is fear, not God or the Devil.” ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti.

“In obedience to any religion, there is always fear; and fear darkens the mind.” ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti; author, philosopher, spiritual educator, public speaker.

To know God

From the beginning man’s mind has been corrupted by fear of the unknown–i.e., fear of death (fear of losing people and things to which they are attached), fear of their own dark sides, and so on and so forth. Fear brings ego-filled ideas and delusions, so they have created religion as a way to deal with fear; however, religion has its own agendas–i.e., power over man, build expensive institutions, amassing riches and power over the mind of the weak, etc. etc.

To really know God is to go beyond things or institutions created by man.

How can God be reduced to the thought and the ego of some pompous individual with a goal to rule over the minds of other men…??
Ponder this for a second, put aside your own ego and all beliefs you’ve been forced, and you will see the clear light come to your conscience.

God is found inside you by inner contemplation, by meditation; by watching your thoughts and emotions rise and fall, and by knowing you are the watcher.
Within each cell of your body, there is energy which structures the same body, which makes this physical body move. Within each atom of a rock, there is energy at a lower vibration than the energy inside your very cells. This energy fills the whole universe and universes, because this energy is the universe and universes.

Meditate on this faithfully, and do not follow the ignorant speech of other men, whoever they are and whichever titles they hold, but follow your own reason, your own wisdom.

(Some people asked me to explain #5 in the photo below. “To Know God Is To Understand That Fear and Love are The same.” This is the quick explanation: Love and fear are the same energy but just different degrees, just like fire and ice, they both burn, they are the same, just the vibration of fire is faster than that of ice…. When you feel fear but you develop strength from within and overcome that fear, your body and mind get used to it, there is no fear anymore; fear has turned to love–i.e., you were experiencing love as fear before because your ego was taking over, but once you overcame your obstacle you began to see fear as strong love, so for your mind fear has disappeared now and you only feel love).

The Entity Under Shadows.

No Comments on The Entity Under Shadows.

“I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars.” ~ Og Mandino; American author and businessman.

The Entity of Darkness is not your Enemy.

This is how life gets to be rich and valuable to us: Opposites. How can you elevate your mind if there are no challenges for you to endure and overcome…?? How can you learn to embrace the wisdom within you if you do not have the ego covering it…?? How can you work harder in your life if you never knew struggle in your life…??

Darkness, Demons, The Devil, Evil, etc.–these are all human concepts describing one unity; like love, peace, harmony, freedom, happiness, etc., is all one unity as well. We must not get lost in the myriad of human concepts, in order to see and understand what makes us human and capable of becoming better, capable of overcoming great obstacles and adopting a confident and brave character in the face of fear in our unique lives.

Thoughts are powerful energy, light and dark ones, positive and negative ones, the ones of love and the ones of pure ego. They are all needed to be us and to progress, because human evolution is different for each of us. And they are what we have as tools every single day, except most people do not see them as mere tools, but they see them as themselves.

This is why most people live in fear and mental and emotional misery and anger, because they think they are these dark thoughts popping up in their consciousness, so they become angry for no logical reason, they protest and become violent towards others, they follow their thoughts and neglect their families and even themselves over their ambitions, they commit all sorts of crimes, they get surgeries and alterations done to their own bodies, etc. etc. However, even though these dark thoughts are part of our humanity, they are mere mental objects the real you can watch appearing in your awareness. So, if you indeed watch these dark thoughts popping up or appearing in your consciousness, then you yourself become the watcher, thus the Master.

Once you become the Master, life does not challenge you anymore because it respects your mastery. Life is ongoing progress, so you still are tested to elevate yourself, but the tests life give you do not deter you because you have now become the Master.

Push boundaries (video)

“Ever since I was a child I have had this instinctive urge for expansion and growth. To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one’s potential.” ~ Bruce Lee.

Human beings tend to live their lives by following others, the latest trends, the popular conditions of our lazy societies; however, this often designs obstacles for personal growth and true success, because this processes we follow make the mind dull and the unique talents in each of us neglected.

The ego likes to feel comfortable and it will always try to come up with an excuse to not try something new which may make this same ego uncomfortable.

But in order for us to expand our minds and hearts to new horizons and opportunities, we must then be open-minded and further our own growth; therefore, we must not allow the ego and its comfort zone to resist change and dwell in us constantly, we must rule over this ignorant ego.

There is only one way to develop into greatness in this life, and that is getting out of your comfort zone…

Quintessence.

“And what, Socrates, is the food of the soul? Surely, I said, knowledge is the food of the soul.” ~ Plato; Greek educator and philosopher.

Life, as built by the common man and their narrow mind, is a myriad of confusion and ups and downs, unhealthy habits and misery, and so all of us try to do the best we can; therefore, we try to find happiness and deeper connections in the things we do and in other people surrounding us. Challenges rise and we either face them or not; but to face them sometimes we need to understand our inner strengths and the light we are within, such which knows no fear and which is all confidence and might.

If we inquire within ourselves and discover this light, we wake up from the deep slumber our societies are all about, so we begin our individual process of Awakening.

As one becomes awakened, the first symptom or mental elevation that one notices is the desire for knowledge, and also, very pronounced as well, the experience of bliss in the simpler things of life, like waking up early, walking the dog, going to work, or walking through nature.

All this and more makes you aware of yourself and of your environment, and that process alone is the soul intensifying itself through your journey, through the rich experiences of your personal awakening. This is something we recognize in the moment, but not always understand. The full recognition and understanding comes with deep meditation practices.

But the soul itself is the one which is most affected by the life we choose to lead, including our deep-rooted beliefs and our perceptions; for the soul is the essence that opens the portal between our consciousness (or spirit) and our physical bodies (including the mind).

When our minds suffer because of mental conflict or wrong beliefs that the ego creates, or even because we clash or differ with people we care about, we feel a little neglected, alone, or even dejected spiritually, down or depressed, and so we may fall into bad eating habits, drugs, religious fanaticism, violent behaviors, etc. etc.; therefore, this can be conceptualized as the soul “hurting” or “being mistreated by us,” “detaching a little from our pain.”

This knowledge, if remembered, may aid us in the elevation of our minds, knowing what happens to us, and within us, as we journey along our challenging lives.

The free mind of a human god!

The ultimate wiring.

Our brain has something like 100 billion neurons. Of course, as we all know or should know to better control our own behaviors and work towards better futures, different experiences create or build different neural connections which evoke in us various emotions, and also shape our conceptualizations of the world around us. And, therefore, depending on the neuronal stimulation, certain connections between neurons become stronger and others weaker. This is called neuroplasticity.

The same happens to our musculature. So, when we exercise certain body parts more than others, these ones being exercised become stronger, the other ones weaker, and vice versa. If we exercise all or most of our muscles, then, we become stronger in all the exercised parts.

The point is, Rationality and Emotional Resilience work the same way; neural connections all of them that can be, through focus and persistence, modified or strengthened, mastered and controlled to do our bidding and not let circumstances, or other people, tell us how to think or behave. We can control our own actions and our own future exactly, by controlling our responses and our perceptions.

Whatever we are doing at any given time, we are physically shaping or modifying our brains or neuronal connections anyway, so why not shape or modify these neuronal connections to make ourselves stronger, more intelligent, more talented, better in every aspect to create better futures for ourselves??

Norepinephrine, amongst other neurons and neurotransmitters of the brain, triggers a defensive state when we feel or sense that our thoughts or opinions have to be protected from the thoughts or opinions of others. When this happens, the chemicals released to build this defensive state in our brains are the same chemicals being released when we encounter a life-or-death situation (as in many cases of stabbings or shootouts that have happened due to misunderstandings or different opinions).

Furthermore, in this defensive state, the more primitive part of our brain (our reptilian brain) interferes with our rational thinking process, and so the limbic system can annul most of our working memory, ergo causing narrow-mindedness. One example is fear and its hold on most people; fear being quite often irrational, because people let negative thoughts and irrationality control them and paralyze them without taking the time and effort to intelligently analyze the situation beforehand themselves.

So, by focusing on our inner life and being aware or mindful of the thoughts, either positive or negative, rising within us, basically and especially before reacting to a situation, we are growing mentally, spiritually, AND ‘PHYSICALLY’–‘physically’ because we now have a different perspective of ourselves in every aspect, we become self-confident and attractive due to our consciousness shift, and others see this as well, and because we become magnets for opportunities we did not have before.

Because life as beautiful as it really is, behind the ego-mind and the stresses we create for ourselves, is in our perceptions which indeed can be strengthened and made better, for beauty is really in the eye of the beholder, as they say.

Stories to ponder.

The transfiguration.

“The ultimate aim of the ego is not to see something, but to be something.” ~ Muhammad Iqbal; Indian poet, philosopher, politician, academic, barrister, and scholar.

Year 2045.

In a distant world where thinking deeply got you in trouble, where going against the establishment and its rules got you excommunicated and locked behind bars.

A dirty and trembling man sits upon the floor within his enclosed jail cell, close to him The Lord of Darkness himself sits under the form of a bright window…

…After several minutes had passed under stress and thoughts of grim death, the man dares finally ask, “Who–Who are you…??”

The Deceiver responds in a haughty and soothing tone after a poised chuckle, “You know who I am, Adam. You brought me here, to this… place you chose.”

The dead air stunk of sweat and hell ashes. Adam swallowed nervously, “…I didn’t choose this. And I didn’t bring you here.”

He was in meditation, brooding deeply. “Thoughts, intentions, and actions open portals into that which is represented by light or darkness in the cosmos. You chose your fate.”

Screams of anguish and people being punished pollute the air further. “Am I dreaming..?? This must be death… Is it not…??”

“How amusing you are.” His lips curled into something someone could call a smile of derision, “Life is all there is. Death, what you call death, is but a door into a higher level of consciousness, one level you cannot achieve in this… pitiful form you carry… No, not death. This is something else.”

“What is this then?”

“This is your world, the one you’ve chosen. Everything exists still, no life passes away; your wife, your children, even your dog, they all live. But you can’t see them, you lost that privilege when you chose me into your life.” The air became electric and cool. The bright window form became dark and the scenery through it purely wretched. “There is a balance for all that exists, Adam. You pushed on that balance too far, and life became… well this.”

Silence corroded the dungeon.

The Deceiver pierced his eyes, “Did you think your rebellious nonsense wouldn’t upset the balance of your life? Did you ever think of your family, how your selfish actions would affect them?… No, you were too self-involved. Your ego and your beliefs, thus your illusions mattered most to you. Congratulations on killing them. Congratulations on choosing me.” Then he vanished into thin air.

Tears began streaming down Adam’s face bathed on the memories of his family being killed in a shootout with police. It felt like he finally understood his whole world had come down on him. Several minutes he felt darkness consume his soul, grip his mind with a vise. His screams filled the air with terror!

Suddenly, a ray of electrified light came down, penetrated the jail, and swallowed him whole! His body and mind became light and each cell of his composition was stretched and filled in.

When he woke up next to his wife, his children were jumping on the bed. Covered in sweat and stinking of hell ashes, he ran to his bedroom window: Darkness and wretchedness had gone…

He looked at his wife and kids, then understood that he needed to stop being selfish and thinking about how to bring down the government, others and their nonsense, he understood that following others means being self-centered and radical while praising his own ego in any situation…

Business mind. Self-help life truths.

Getting luster.

“You’ve done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination.” ~ Ralph Marston; professional football player.

I believe being effective in a world and society like ours is not that popular and common, and people rather live easy lives and be mediocre because that is what others do; however, look around you–people suffering, making over and over again wrong decisions and never learning, people leading their own lives blindly and looking for motivation in their environments instead of in their goals and in themselves, people following anger and stress in their everyday lives due to blaming governments, society and other people instead of themselves, etc. etc. I believe learning to be effective and putting in practice excellence is what we need.

The world is yours, you are the world, so whatever you think of others and of what others do, if you complain and bother yourself with this, then it is time you look into yourself and fix things.

And to fix things in yourself, you must be effective in what you do, in what and how you organize yourself, you must focus on your own life, on your own growth.

Once you accomplish this and master yourself in efficiency, you will not wish to waste your time and energy complaining about others and becoming a victim of what happens around you.

Take charge of your life.
If not now, when…??
Life is precious, don’t waste it.

Following, some personal tips on being more effective and on mastering yourself and your situations:

The attention shift.

“Beautiful things happen in your life when you distance yourself from negative things.” ~ Zig Ziglar; American author, salesman, and motivational speaker.

Life is positive progress in its original essence, but we design stress and situations which we may deem ugly or negative; however, because there is positive and beautiful things in life, albeit hidden under the stress and ugliness, we may shift our attention to them anytime we allow our thoughts to deviate from what is overwhelming us or producing anxiety.

That is like getting stressed and angered by the world we live in, but then going for a few hours to swim or spend our time in the world of the fish; there we take a break from our world to recharge and shift our focus and attention towards the colorful and calming fish and sea life.

It is truly wise and godly when we remind ourselves and have the habit of shifting our attention to the small and beautiful things in life, such things which can recharge our batteries and make us feel like we indeed are in charge of our lives, where we decide where our full attention goes and we decide when to take a break from our stressful lives.

Give yourself time to heal and absorb the wisdom and energy from your subconscious in those times in life which may be a bit stressing, do not give in to anger and stress, but shift your full attention to small and beautiful things.

Do not neglect God.

Self-help life truths.

Beyond the chaos.

shining dove with rays on a dark golden background

“But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.” ~ 2 chronicles 15:7

Among all the chaos and misery, whether from devastating hurricanes or from whatever it is we go through, there is always a small hope. You could call it very or extremely small, but it is always there. This light shines brightly within us all, no matter the stress or the challenges we go through; however, we perhaps direct our attention outwards to what is challenging us, and this is the struggle we all must go through at some point in our lives. I went through it when I lost family members years ago and I did not know what to do with my life, and maybe you already went through your own things as well, or you are right now.

But always remember who and what you truly are.

Everything is a test.
Anything can be built again.

There is wisdom in all that happens, even if our stress and sufferings will not let us see and understand. We are beyond our stress and suffering, beyond all these mental and physical events that take place; we are eternal, thus eternal strength, eternal wisdom, eternal and beyond the nuisances of this world.

We must see beyond time and the things lost in time. Time passes and things can be re-built, our lives can be fixed and re-directed towards a fruitful path. This is the value of this physical life, that there exists no real loss unless is because of mental choice or attachment.

In the words of Buddha: What you think, you become. If you have faith and perseverance, thus think you can re-build, then you can.

Stop seeing the misery and the bad, by starting to see beyond that.

The eternal flame.

“Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” ~ Oprah Winfrey; American media proprietor, talk show host, producer, actress, and philanthropist.

The are people who understand deeply that life is the richest and most precious substance of experience itself, and they know thus that they themselves make their bliss or misery. There are people who do not actually understand this, and so lose themselves living life as the masses do, and while this they deceive themselves believing this is it, this is all there is for them, then death comes and that’s that. This last people confuse passion for desire, and this is why they never find that strength and inner motivation to achieve all their dreams ans goals, that passion beyond mere desire which never satiates and never stops.

Passion: Your Own Genie

In order to become more, in order to fulfill you higher purpose in life–being thus spiritual, mental, and financial aspects; because the reality is that we are here in this physical form to reach all our innermost and most noble desires as human beings–there must be fire in you, such is the fire which goes beyond any desire.

Now, it is essential to understand this: Desire is a thought which becomes an emotion, but it is fleeting, it does not last, you might get distracted or bored. But passion (true passion, not just desire mistaken from passion, like sex) is born purely in the heart, from our subconscious mind where our personalities, dreams, memories, and profound experiences are stored.

And, of course, an active thought desires something first, and if it is a strong and lasting desire we feel the passion; however, the passion is the energy which created that thought in the first place, the one wondrous energy which will drive us to stay in the path, for decades if we have to, to reach our destiny or to fulfill our goals.

Passion is raw energy that we develop through perseverance and patience. Perseverance and patience is key then, real wisdom in a noble and heartfelt purpose. And when you develop this, you not only better yourself, but others as well. Remember that passion is energy, pure energy we emanate out into the environment through our thoughts, intentions, and actions. And this reaches the whole world.
