Chasing…

 

Chasing, becoming anxious about achieving, obsessing, becoming attached and ambitious for something, only ruins your mental peace and your clarity in life.   The way is the inward way.   In life you get everything by detaching yourself from what you desire.

Take for example happiness:  If you chase happiness through money, through sexual and emotional relationships, through fame, through traveling, through any activity, then happiness is not discovered in you, it runs away from your experience.

  Sure, you have moments of pleasure and joy, of excitement and pride; but those die soon, because real happiness is already in you and not in your activities.  Your activities give you wonderful experiences, but these activities pass away in time.  Happiness never dies, because it is constant. 

Or love, for example:  Love is not a product of your relationships with another, sexual affairs, marriage, kids, etc.  Love cannot be chase and grabbed by you, you cannot make it happen by the struggle and demand of your mind.  Love is in you, but you cannot experience it because your mind is always busy chasing something out there.

Greed in chasing after something is what you must kill, so you can become a magnet and attract.  You attract what you become.  The problem is allowing your mind to get envious and desire what others have.  Time is an illusion and you shouldn’t be concerned with it.  Do not run after what you want desperately, and do not obsess about the time in life either; for this makes you a repellent for all things of value to you.

See something useful.

 

love-great-work

 

There has to be a sense of dignity and honesty in all you do, from talking to yourself each moment to going to work hours and hours.  It does not matter what it is you do, it must originate from a positive and proactive place in your mind.

If your full attention and heart are not in it, then you will start to hate the task; and you will complain and begin to bring some negativity into your life.  And then things will get worse.

Because when your mind starts dwelling in the ugliness, in the negativity, in the drama of something in your life, then your whole experience in all aspects will get tainted, poisoned; thus, your persona will become affected, your choices will become affected as well.

Love is the deep connection that you need in all things you do; no excuses, no overthinking it, just make yourself see something useful in each activity you engage.

Stop!

 

excuses1

 

You cannot find yourself to do this or that.  You tell yourself constantly that you do not have time.  Other things seem to occupy your mind while you keep allowing them to do so often.

All the excuses you make are something you invent in your mind and convince yourself that it is true, real, that cannot be changed.

But if you really love something, if you really see something as important, you make time for it, you train your mind to see it as the most important thing to do; and you stop making excuses, because you realize that morality is improving yourself.

Behaviors rooted on health of body and mind, attitudes which are positive and moral in their core, treating yourself and all other creatures with respect and understanding–this is the only thing to seek in your daily choices.

Stop the lies and excuses and start maturing.  Learn to fit rationality, morality, real values which lead you to real behaviors in your thinking and feeling.  Give an example unto yourself and unto others.

Enlightening yourself.

 

Character-Development-C

 

When the supermarket clerk tallied up my groceries, I was $12 over what I had on me.  I began to remove items from the bags, when another shopper handed me a $20 bill.   “Please don’t put yourself out,” I told him.

“Let me tell you a story,” he said.  “My mother is in the hospital with cancer. I visit her every day and bring her flowers.  I went this morning, and she got mad at me for spending my money on more flowers.

She demanded that I do something else with that money.  So, here, please accept this.  It is my mother’s flowers.”  – Leslie Wagner, “Peel, Arkansas.”

So, the lesson or take here is that there are too many paths to be unkind or to remain distant to others, unaware to better ways to be gentle and kind to others; however, the path less taken or less used is the path a conscious individual must take.  So, whenever there is a chance for kindness and gentleness, take it.

Do not hesitate and wonder if it is popular or unpopular to demonstrate kindness and gentleness in a particular moment; for in this courage to immediate action lies your moral values as a human being.  You see, your moral values are born from within you and they are manifested not in your thinking, but in your behaving, daily, in the normal and simple things in life.

So, in order to change your community, your society, your nation, your world, you must use the goodness in you, in those simple moments in life, for example, when you are walking down the street and see a person in need.  Because it is about developing your character, so you shine in value and integrity as a person, and so you become an example to follow.

And so you find truth, and value, and meaning, and strength inside you, through your actions, in the creation of yourself as a better human being; to thus bring more love into your life, more joyful states of mind, more positivity, and more opportunities in every aspect.

A very personal decision.

 

Thoughts2-777x437

 

For thought to manifest, to create beauty out of ugliness, to attract wealth out of poverty, to bring health out of an unhealthy body, you need higher intelligence, higher projections of imagination.

Animals do not have this.  Plants do not have it.  They are literal, what you see is what you get.

But in our human existence, the ugliest man can make the most beautiful woman fall in love with him, the unhealthiest person can become the healthiest one, the poorest person can become the richest, the dullest individual can become highly intellectual and talented, etc. etc.

All these accomplishments and more are manifestations or creations of our higher minds, of higher imaginations to be more precise; hence, humankind has been gifted with higher states of imagination, so what we imagine, without fear and with divine patience, we can manifest throughout our lives.

Evidently, it not only takes imagination but our own effort; therefore, we have been given the most powerful tool to build, but we must use it properly and without obstacles to building–i.e., without fears in our minds.

And it is funny that the same powerful tool given to us also brings the most powerful enemy into us, fear.  So we may create better futures for ourselves or we may destroy our futures by the same power, namely Imagination.

 

And it is a very personal decision though. 

Question is:  How would you use it…??

That which makes you light up.

 

How would you find that which makes you unique…??  How would you define your specific purpose…??  Don’t say “My purpose, what makes me unique is to be love and be happy.”  Everybody says that.  And don’t even think of saying “My purpose, my destiny is to get married, have kids, and be a grandma or grandpa.”

That is not your specific value or purpose, that is not what you must find as an individual; for life is YOUR journey to discover yourself, something which makes you unique as a human being.  So, what is it that makes you unique specifically…??

Being love, being happy, being successful as an individual, does not have anything to do with society’s designs–i.e., with college, money, religion, marriage, philosophies you have read and follow, etc.  Although, this is what they teach famously in societies today.  “Discover yourself and your life by following the paths which are common and which we offer,” they say.

Thus, people become followers, they arrange their lives around a set of beliefs and ideas, and they become like everyone else, drones, robots, computer programs; however, in their enslaved minds they believe they are indeed unique and especial.  But, of course, they become one with sheep without knowing it.

I am talking about the mind much more than a mere activity out there.  The human mind is the tool you must use to inquire and find out what makes you especial, unique, of individual value; and you must discover yourself every day, discover the ways you become better, explore your talents and skills.

All measuring to higher and higher ethics and morals.  This is how you are love and happiness, by discovering this in yourself daily; hence, this process of discovery looking within you makes you stand out and be a true individual.

So you become wiser about yourself and about where you are going in life.  So you create yourself and stop following the crowd, and thus you find your uniqueness to shine in your very character in whatever you think and feel, and even in whatever you do in the world.

The Meaning of Life.

The mind wanders here and there, and questions filled by confusion and doubt appear to swallow reason in many people; but, however it is, each moment we experience, each thing we think and feel, each behavior and activity we do gives meaning to life.

It is not that achieving big goals like marriage, a great paying job, becoming a wise person, being this or that in great measure, give meaning to our lives; but all we do each day must be meant to create meaning.

3_meaning_life_quotes.jpg

The essence of existence, the essence of life is change, evolution, always moving forward; but life in reality has no meaning ascribed or given to it, because life is pure consciousness, and consciousness is molded and directed to create this or that by YOUR mind.

So, the ones who understand this, can actually give great meaning to their lives each second they are alive, without depression and doubt.  The ones who do not understand this, cannot actually find the creative meaning of their lives no matter what they do; so doubt and depression will consume them, and they will seek out there for meaning endlessly, pointlessly.

And you know when people say “I should be this or that by now” or “I deserve to be this or that in my life right now”…??  This is nonsense they create because they do not understand life at all.  Because life’s meaning is not a destiny or future, or a big goal or something you deserve because you have a plan or word hard.

Life’s meaning is the one you create each second of each day, by creating in your mind this meaning right now.  So if you cannot give a meaning to your life right now, this second, you are missing the point of being alive and having the opportunity to create your very life.

And you create meaning by enjoying each moment with bliss and awareness, and not by running after big goals and accomplishing great activities which give you pleasure.  Remember this always.

Without excuses.

What results out of unawareness…?? What is that in us which causes suffering and all kinds of arguments and problems…?? The human mind is a temple, a thing of worship, the portal between this physical life and the divine life or that which is of godliness within us; therefore, to really go beyond our fears, opinions, beliefs, and all ego, is to know ourselves, is to see the sacred in us or that which is untainted. But the mind is filled by us, and this content makes us strong or weak, this content allows us to know ourselves or remain wild animals who ignore their divine origin, and this content gives us access to reason or access to ignorance and violence.

So, all that exists in life is the content of your mind really, because your mind’s content will determine how you see yourself and others, it will tell you what to think about your situation and how to feel about it as well. You will feel bliss or feel pain, you will experience peace or anger, all based on your mind’s content. This means that whatever you go through in life is labeled by your mind’s content as either good or bad, as pleasurable or painful; and so, what you experience then is not your situation in reality but your mind and what it tells you, you follow its labels on the outer situation.

And this is why keeping a mind alert and self-aware at all times is so vital to keep your bliss and happiness–even if you lost someone you love, or if you have a disease, you must remain self-aware and not attached to your suffering/do not ignorantly create suffering for yourself. And you can come up with a thousands excuses for the suffering you are going through right now, but truth is that your mind is making it worse than it is because you are letting it. Life might not be easy, struggles exist for all of us; however, your attention dictates how you feel about your life–if your attention is on problems then you will get more problems.

Alien.

544223-233859-quotes-about-being-individual
You are here to be an individual, to be you, to love you and care for you; after that love is self-discovered and you are happy with yourself, strong, confident, able to love being alone with yourself, then that love can expand outwardly and you can properly care for others.  But first you must be your truest and most faithful friend, when situations are easy and when they are not, always there for yourself.  Can you truly see the value in this…??

Now, most people in the world seek to be an individual, seek for love and happiness out there; they cannot bear to be alone, they hate themselves if they are alone for a long time, they do not know love because they seek it out there like the rest.  So, in this empty game they play they find themselves alone and confused, following the ignorant crowd, they cannot reach intelligence because their minds are in agitation, always worried and stressed about relationships and being liked by others.  Their attention falls into the world of form, thus their energy is misused by trying to compete and be liked by their potential partners, their bosses, their family, their friends, etc.  They wear masks to compete and become attractive to others, they are never themselves because being themselves means to be emotionally exposed (which means taking off their masks), and so they are never truly free; but they are strangers to themselves and never loved, never happy.  So if they are alone they have designed this concept of a broken heart.

A “broken heart”…??  Or a broken ego…??  They seek and lean on the world to find love and happiness when they have forgotten where love and happiness really lie; so their minds, their egos, become attached and obsessed, corrupted by society and the influence they get from it.  They never find themselves, because they seek in relationships, in churches, in governments, in the media–they seek in these places to find a meaning to their empty lives, to find something which can give them some kind of activity to maybe find love and happiness there.  But do they find it…??  No, the roller coaster continues and they are always pining, angry, frustrated, confused; and this monotonous and egoistical activity brings them shame, feelings of worthlessness, so-called “broken hearts,” and the rest of the nonsense in which they choose to dwell. 
But this is pointless, isn’t it…??  Because love and happiness must be self-discovered, unique of themselves.  Who cares about competing?!  One must create his own life, inside, not outside.  One must never be a stranger to oneself; because if there is indeed a sin, that is it.

Machine’s cog.

What is it that drives you to wake up every morning and take on your day with a smile…??–is it your job and the promise of a paycheck, or is it your education and the promise of a better job with higher earning in a future, or is it your romantic partner and the affection you feel, or is it your kids…??  Do you feel you are actually awakening a little bit each day…??  Is your life fulfilling for you now…??  Are you rising in love (not “falling in love”) and happy with yourself and with whom you are now…??

cog-free
Society, in all places of the earth, is a machine–a colossal machine with rules and a particular programing, and whoever deviates from this robotic programing is not considered “normal.”  Because in this programing the ordinary man is nothing but a cog in the huge human machine, you must observe others and do as they do, you must fill your mind with the machine’s knowledge and ways of working, you must not deviate and think for yourself, you must not question them and yourself–you must learn love, God, peace, freedom, relationship, personality, morals, from society/from the big machine which allows you to fit in as a poor cog in its popular industry.  The ordinary man and woman is driven by this, this is exciting and fulfilling for them–to be this cog, to follow and be popular as the rest of the cogs, to live under the ruling and mechanical production of this machine. 
And what does the machine produce…??  Why does it make you want to remain a cog under it…??  Is it love, happiness, a better way of life which is unique of your soul, better health, self-discovery, true freedom to be and think for yourself…??  No.  No one can feel truly alive in this situation.  Being alive is being and rising in love with yourself, knowing that your world/your love/your freedom/your absolute happiness is yourself.  So if you are awakening to many things, if you are becoming more connected to your feelings, if you are discovering slowly who you are and what really makes you happy; thus, you are not fitting in as a cog in the machine, just know that you are actually becoming alive, aware of your own ego as a mere cog…  And your path doesn’t end, because to be alive is to find yourself every single day; and that is why you get to live every day a new day, only if you feel alive and away from the monotony, only then you can get out from being a mere cog…
