Let the fear go

When we look at the ocean or the sea, we observe waves coming and going, rising and falling. Do you think you can capture a wave? Even with the best technology and human resources, we cannot really capture a wave. Whatever we would have taken out of the ocean would be just water which, when taken from the ocean, doesn’t rise and fall as it is disconnected from the huge mass of water which has its own power by sheer quantity and vastness, besides the consciousness which is inherent and permeates everything that exists, visible or invisible.

We are waves of the ocean. We appear as being separate from our ocean, yet we are not. We feel like waves that separated from the main body of water, and now we tremble in fear of dissolution. We have forgotten our origin. “The ocean” is the Source of everything, and by ignorance we forgot our belonging to the Source, we forgot about the game we came to play.

We ought to raise our heads and try to see the larger picture. The higher the outlook, the more objective the vantage point becomes. The wider the perspective grows, the more correct everything appears.

Let’s try to recall a certain event that, whilst experiencing, we assumed was terrible, overwhelming, life-threatening even, etc. The further back in the past it was, the more insignificant it looks and our previous perspective of it may now appear exaggerated or even outright laughable. Now extrapolate this realization onto everything you have experienced and will experience.

Realize that you are in a sequence onto which you have zero to very little influence or control. Whenever forceful control is applied, all we do is just postpone or/and accumulate that energy that was ours to deal with. That’s why people try to force life into being comfortable and free from unwanted events, unaware that by forcing life into that unnatural dynamic, the avoided events are just piling up under the rug where they were swept, and will eventually burst into an unnecessary, huge conflagration, possibly even life-threatening.

It is as futile and unnecessary as trying to stop a river from flowing. Even if blocked, it will always find a way to push and pierce through any obstacle. So, don’t be afraid to experience life and its ups and downs, as you, as a soul, are never at risk of being truly annihilated, as no one can annihilate water taken from the ocean, but it can only be temporarily separated. Even though this separation is merely apparent, we’re never truly apart, as the Source of everything contains in it the material worlds and the very Nothingness that holds all created worlds, dimensions and universes and fills everything that appears empty.

There is nothing separated from Life, nothing that is not alive, everything is in eternal movement, everything is eternal experience changing from one form to another, no real drama happens, only pure undivided experience, Yin and Yang continuously flowing from one to another in an eternal cosmic dance.

The drama is just on the screen of the Existence, in the eyes of the one watching. Real and unreal at the same time. Why would you be afraid of anything if you are Source experiencing itself through fragmentation and separation? An eternal game of hide-and-seek, a movie so well-made that we forgot it’s just a movie.

Coming back to the waves and the person trying to control life’s currents, our of sheer fear of discomfort, fear of dissolution, fear of pain and whatnot. Let’s see our experience in this body as being waves, allow yourself to explore the rise and fall, know that you are not in danger at any point (since you are not the mortal human body), allow yourself to embrace everything that’s thrown in your “movie” and enjoy. Don’t forget that the Yin Yang symbol has equal parts of black and white which harmoniously merge one with another. As such, your experiences can’t naturally be only positive. Embrace both currents, let the cold touch you and the hot, and you will realize that both are amazing. Let yourself stay in deep darkness as well as light, see the beauty of the sun-shining days as well as of the overcast and rainy ones.

Know that whatever you run away from will chase you and eventually get you. So how about stopping the eternal running away? How about embracing and loving everything and everyone indiscriminately? How about when you feel fear, you just surrender to the moment and allow yourself to see that there’s no boogieman under the bed?

By knowing that you are one with God, the Source, the Absolute, fear vanishes. There’s no antagonizing force to the Source, as everything flows out of it. If the antelope knew that it was also the lion, the hyena, the vultures, the worms, the river, the ocean, the sky and the entire forest, it wouldn’t fear, but it would still run if the lion is chasing as it’s the game it came to play. The result is always unknown, but also always correct from the higher most perspective. Both possibilities still nurture the Existence. If the antelope is caught, it will feed the lions and their cubs, the insects, hyenas and vultures, and it will participate in the eternal dance of creation and dissolution. If it survives, it will teach its progenies how to avoid being caught, enhancing their survival skills and passing that information for generations to come, maintaining the balance.

Everything is always correct. There are no enemies or friends, there’s only One which we all are. If we understand this deeply, fear will forever vanish as an invented boogieman that never existed. What can happen? Changing form? Like switching dreams. It’s just experience and the least tragic we see the experience the more we will start grasping the secret behind it all and the reason we are having all these experiences.

Let yourself experience the uncomfortable, the dark, the cold, and everything you used to run away from with courage and then, the good, comfortable, pleasant and tasty will rush into your life on its own accord. Don’t try to keep people longer than the assigned time, don’t try to suspend and capture pleasant moments as you might unknowingly deprive yourself of even better ones.

Let your fear be gone, and you will experience your life as being a continuous miracle. Embrace life as it comes and do your due diligence with dedication and determination, and you shall remember who and what you truly are!

The game you came to play

Not so long ago, I started realizing that dismissing information just because I wasn’t agreeing or liking the source through which was coming was ignorance.  Since then, if I am being sent a video or article, I go through it and look for bits and pieces that resonate within me, that can add value to me deciphering life’s puzzle.

Since then, when people are disagreeing with me, I don’t mind, I no longer get upset or try to change their minds, but I just know that they’re not resonating with that information that I was giving them. That doesn’t mean that they’re wrong, or they’re missing anything, as we all have our own different paths in life, and no matter how different we are, and our paths are, eventually we will all be meeting back to the very Source we sprung out of.

I remember telling my friend Pedro: “Why do you need to try to fight me for things we disagree on, when we can both take from each other’s discourses whatever resonates within and forget about the rest?” Since then, our interaction is less difficult, no friction and neither being like rams slamming our heads, against each other trying to impose our “truths” onto the other.

Sometimes we ignore valuable information just because we dislike/despise or don’t consider the messenger as an authority figure. That is how, at points, pieces and bits that Life is hiding in places that most would dismiss and ignore, might get lost unless we stop judging and dividing, but accept and unite, we will be missing those valuable puzzle pieces that will be hidden where we would never search for or be interested in.

Therefore, my realization is that instead of limiting our views and isolating ourselves from life, we should open our hearts, eyes and ears to always perceive everything without judgement, and picking those useful bits of information that will complete the picture.

It’s good to establish your energy first in the highest place you can possibly get and then explore things and places that you consider as being low or bad, with your new perspective, looking for clues and previously disregarded particles that you could have missed by believing that from the dirt nothing good can come out. Yet look at the beautiful orchids sometimes sprouting out of dirt we wouldn’t dare touch. Or look at the beauty of a lotus flower that came piercing through a considerable amount of mud and then grew its stem through the muddy water all the way up to the surface where it blooms and spreads its petals and releases its scented emanation in the light whilst thoroughly being anchored in the mud, passing through water. Isn’t it a bit like our journeys?

We start with ignorance and predigested information and slowly navigate through learning to pick what’s useful and leave aside what’s not, but with love, knowing that everything is always right, flowing through life with the least opposition from ourselves, always smiling and filtering all that unnecessary out, whilst carefully assimilating the needed. Similarly, a whale absorbs huge quantities of water and retains small fish and other nutritious elements it needs, while water is returned to the ocean it came from.

This is how entire nature and everything always talks to us. We should learn to read between the lines, learn to filter everything through our very Being and see how sometimes there are gems hidden where we least expect, and how even a homeless person may say something that, if you don’t disregard, it may give you a perspective you would have never got the chance to get from elsewhere.

Be always open, because life talks to you through everything, be always ready to absorb missing pieces of the puzzle while maintaining your gratitude for the knowledge and the means through which it reached you. Gratitude is the most essential element we always have to be full of, as by being ungrateful, whatever we have got will eventually be lost because we haven’t fully acknowledged it, and we take it for granted.

Make sure you always do your utmost to give and serve selflessly, a way of giving back to Life, bringing the needed where it lacks in other people’s lives, an eternal circle of give and take. By giving, you empty a bit of your filled bucket and make space for better things or information to come replace that recently emptied space in your “bucket”. It shouldn’t be a calculative move, “I give because I will get better”, because when we approach life from such a cunning material pragmatism, thinking we can outsmart it, we should prepare ourselves for a rough awakening.

Establish your roots in the mud, embracing it, then grow your stem through the muddy waters of ignorance, steadily freeing yourself from the unnecessary and learning to discern and discover valuable knowledge that serves you and pierce those waters of ignorance and bloom when reaching the surface and let the sun of the Existence illuminate you further into deeper levels of knowledge and realizations. This is the game you came to play!

Flowing with life vs controlling it

As long as there hasn’t been any inner work of acknowledgment of the inner programming and unpacking of the hidden undercurrents, be it subconscious or unconscious, how can we truly flow with life? That supposed flow with life will be just going with distortions and social viruses planted by the upbringing and the very system that keeps us in its thralls.

But that superficial “flow with life ” even when we’re not fully aware, is way better than trying to force life into a dynamic of controlling its outcomes, that we assume may be the best road to take.  Of course, that doesn’t mean that we are like a leaf in the wind, as we have to have a clear direction. The best is to just blindly trust life and its currents, even when, from the worldly way of seeing things, things look like they are heading “south”.

Trying to exert the utmost control over our lives and circumstances is even more laughable and futile: like a totally unaware Sisyphus, bound to repeat the same fallacy and eternally hoping for a different outcome, with the stubbornness of a bull insisting on hitting a fence, and trying to get on the other side although the door, just couple of meters ahead is wide open.

In order to learn to flow and trust life, we should learn to accept circumstances without trying to make it look better than it is, but we ought to avoid having that cynical approach of: “everything is always bad”, and avoid infusing that belief with the power of our consciousness. By doing so will empower the very thing we try to break away from.

I was many times allowing myself to “flow with life”, unaware of the fact that I am still flowing with past unresolved traumas and unquestioned beliefs that are as far as “flowing with life” as trying to control life’s currents. I would like to introduce my theory that we need someone who can give us a more objective perspective about ourselves, because we may be blindsided by those hidden shadows that we still unknowingly nurture within and by our subjective perception of ourselves.

Therefore, getting a chance to be with or close to someone who is at least as aware as we are is a true blessing. It can be a lover, friend, family member and even a teacher. This blessing we are given by Life itself is a token of unconditional love that the Ultimate Existence silently provides to all its fractals.

There is no being who is not provided with Grace and support from the Ultimate. The problem is our lack of understanding and failure to recognize that EVERYTHING that happens in our lives and given, is a step laid in front of us by our Higher Self, like an invisible wire sent to us, that’s pulling us through and out of the labyrinth of ignorance and false interpretation of life.

So flowing with life is the best approach to have, although without awareness, there will not be that much of a flow, but as I said previously, just a trick of the shadow to express itself unhinged and unnoticed. But even that is a step further and eventually, because the shadow acts in plain sight, we have a chance to notice it and find our way of accepting and transcending it.

It’s a matter of perspective

Each time we complain about our experience, it’s because our expectations are set on “high”. If there’s no expectation or hope neither addiction to a certain outcome, then whatever is given by life is fully received and embraced, and the true lesson of each experience is fully grasped and transcended.

From the perspective of the person who hopes that life should be “good “, each small stumble, each unexpected turn is perceived as very painful and becomes a vicious circle of trying to escape pain and change the outcome and even a intent to manipulate life to flow our way is initiated, and even if with great struggles, we manage to push the outcomes to fit our hopes, we will just postpone and pile up the events that we are so eagerly running away from.

I have been there myself, wondering why life was so difficult and painful. When I started accepting whatever comes my way with the least opposition, Life started flowing like a gentle river, bringing about debris of past rejected elements that I avoided and experiences of all kinds, but although unexpected events still take place, they’re just boulders in the river over which the water flows with ease.

Sometimes it feels like a miraculous way, the manner in which everything unfolds; how if I take time to accept whatever happens; whatever is offered, even if it feels unpleasant, as soon as I accept and embrace that event, it’s like it gets canceled by the very Existence, or one way or another the whole thing gets adjusted, sometimes to an even better situation than previously.

This reminds me of a quote from Tao Te Ching: “Do you have the patience to wait ’till your mud settles and the water is clear?
Can you remain unmoving’ till the right action arises by itself?”

Let’s say, if we are aware that this is a very low-vibration material existence, although not the lowest, and each emotion has to be experienced fully, (as this is the only purpose that we came to fulfill: to have a low experience without losing oneself), then it all start to make sense, and in the worst situations, remembering the nature of this existence, you will find the possibility to relax and even smile.

When we fall into sorrow, guilt, shame, comparison, jealousy, vengeance and other very low feelings, then we feed the very system that we are trying  to  escape.

As soon as an emotion is ignited, we should feel it deeply, so as not to try to escape the feeling that we came here to have, but we shouldn’t employ any escapist or coping mechanism, or allow thoughts and actions to drag us deeper into the depths of victimization.

Let’s say we are rejected: at first every one of us will have a painful reaction as we are programmed to look for good experiences and run for those who are taking us out of our comfort zone. I feel it, it first comes like a huge overwhelming wave that tries to create an immediate response, trying to drag me under the water, blinded by emotions and reacting in an inappropriate way. But I have learned to stay there with the feeling, accepting it, and trying not to react or think about it, just be with the feeling. And whenever I am aware, and I do not react to it, the whole tempest is showing itself for what it truly is: just a storm in a glass of water.

If we knew we were in hell whilst having this exact experience, we would be dancing and rejoicing every single day, remembering to see the blessings that we have in our lives and how this version of hell is quite OK, especially compared to other people’s experience, as soon as we stop antagonizing it. But if we project some sort of idea of a place of pleasure, hope and joy, we are bound for a rough awakening. So you see, it’s all about the perspective. Depends on the angle from which we see everything, and the expectations or lack thereof.

Don’t you see how our own expectations and projections are binding us even more? Transforming a neutral experience that a godlike being came to have, into a belief of being trapped, doomed, tricked, punished, and eventually bringing us back to the same place, less and less aware of the nature of this paradigm, when in reality nothing can bind us and everything is just a projected experience based on mistaken beliefs and assumptions.

I am not able to do it all the time, as many times I am caught off-guard by the waves of life, acting from past distortions and programming, but each time I take my time and allow life to flow at its own accord, I am so happy I managed to do it. The more we do it, we become free from projections, and the world will fail to look neither good nor bad, but it will just flow like the ocean’s waves: one day roughly, one day calm and joyful, another day it may look like they want to destroy and annihilate and other days they’re still as a  lake in a painting.

If you watch the ocean through the window or the TV screen, no storm will scare you, but you will enjoy its dynamism and continuous change and unpredictability. Similarly, if you grasp the nature of this existence, you’ll feel like watching it through a screen, and the tremendous show that it puts into scene will inspire and put you in awe, but it will no longer scare you or catch you off guard.

This is how we are gradually spiritually maturing, slowly growing, enhanced by our trust in life and by the Grace that flows from within us, not separate from the Life that flows equally from within, as everything that we experience outside of us.

How can then be someone to punish or reward us if everything is just us? But because we believe in that predicament, we create a life that will fit our idea of it. Change your perspective and life will feel easier, the power is always in our hands.

Experience it all

One of the tricks through which souls are maneuvered into returning to this experience is the idea of unfinished businesses, things and events that we refused to have, or we were too scared to dare facing.

Attachments are the other trick, and it can be any type of attachment: to an idea, to a lover, to a family member, friend, pet, belonging or all of them together. Another attachment is the religious/ spiritual one that can be used against us.

Ideally, every single day we should accept whatever is laid in front of us, without rejecting or denying it, just fully accepting whatever is given, as we accept a movie plot at the cinema, knowing that we can’t change the direction of the events in the projected movie. But through the experience we have, we have the potential to change things. Unfortunately, we mostly have the power to get more lost rather than grow out of it. Everything is made addictive, so we get hooked onto each experience and crave for more. That’s when the game gets a grip on the player instead of the situation being otherwise.

You came to have this experience, have it fully, embracing each particle of it, while trying not to get captured in its snare. “Be in the world but not of the world”.

Have everything but make sure you don’t crave anything, make sure you make peace with the idea of you potentially leaving this game tomorrow and be ready not to look back, either at family, lover or any other potential trap to bring you back.

Do not get stuck in the movie you just finished, but continue to let go of it, and every experience and be ready for the next one. The capacity to let go of everything, anything and anyone at any point is the key to successfully escaping the trap of being stuck in the game.

There’s no debt you owe to anyone and nobody owes you anything. If you know this, you’ll be safe. Our kindness is used against us when we are leaving, as a manipulation tactic. Guilt and shame and even the sense of duty will be used against us. Beings reminiscing religious figures of our choice will be employed to keep us in the loop. 

Promises of evolution, enlightenment and the achievement of perfection will try to trick one into coming back. But you should know that we are already all-knowingly, perfect and enlightened.

There are no stairs to climb, no place to reach, nothing to achieve. You’re just a being that has it all, yet wants to explore lower, and rather limited realms. It’s like a wealthy person having planes, helicopters and other vehicles yet enjoying the thrill of riding an old bike or skateboard and eventually becoming oblivious of his previous belongings. You can always get back to your vehicles and not remain stuck with the skateboard. The trick here is that, in the game we play, we can become forgetful of all those flying vehicles and allow ourselves to identify with the skateboard and get tricked into repeating the experience with the promise of a car, when, in reality, we are not even bound to time and space, hence even planes or helicopters are not really necessary.

If you are Everything that ever was, is and will be, which we all are, how can you owe anything to anyone, or how can anyone be indebted to you?

Even though the sun is hidden for days and weeks by clouds, that doesn’t mean it disappeared. As such, although you’re unaware of the Divine essence within you, that doesn’t mean that its existence is canceled by your unawareness of it.

Playing it safe in life is avoidance of the experience and, although many assume greatness or even sanctity in playing it safe, they are just deluding themselves. They’re deluded by their one-sided perspective. Whereas those who traveled deep within the hellish realms and yet traveled back through the obstacles and opposition, back to wholesomeness, those are the true unrecognized heroes.

So make sure you experience it all, whatever is yours to have, finish everything on your plate, or you might get tricked into return by your own unfulfilled desires and experiences and unfinished businesses and attachments.

Don’t make a big deal out of anything, forget, forgive and love unconditionally, be kind and selflessly giving, live courageously and know that you are already perfect, wise and enlightened. You just forgot! Now remember!

Being who you truly are

Not far away in the past, I used to believe that taking an extra step to show goodness and kindness to people was a very spiritual thing to do.

My perspective changed when I realized the amazing value of being myself fully. Being myself unapologetically will definitely trigger lots of people and make them classify me as selfish or even narcissistic, which at first glance may even seem to be the case. In fact, what changes is that I keep my kindness somewhat hidden, and stop being people’s doormat for the sake of being liked, loved or accepted.

I have the same heart filled with love and kindness, but I don’t look for ways to show that to people anymore, as I am not looking for recognition of those features, and as I am more and more self-sufficient..

I bless when I feel like în silence, so they’ll never know. I see people thriving when I am not explaining myself but letting them get to their right conclusions or even allowing them to go a bit astray, projecting what is not, without me trying to correct anyone, to each according to their vibration at that point in time.

I might explain myself when I feel humility and an honest desire to know, and I am asked in a non-entitled way, as we all deserve to have our questions asked if we know how to do it. But I am done trying to make others understand how great, honest, kind and trustworthy I am. I am fine with people believing whatever they choose about me

If people are throwing a tantrum and are being entitled, I do not have the desire to explain or excuse myself. But I make sure I question myself thoroughly and try to see where my actions and words are coming from, but that doesn’t mean that I will try to bring clarity to anyone against their will or capacity to understand, as I have to limit unnecessary waste of energy when there’s no possibility or will to fathom what’s going on.

We all get to clarity when we dare to question ourselves and our narratives. When we dare to ask ourselves “what if they are right? ” and flip the whole story from different perspectives, especially from the other person’s perspective.

Sometimes we are blinded by the mechanisms of coping that hide under layers of traumatic responses and programming, so I can definitely say that taking whatever whoever says and giving it a chance to be examined in a cool “what if?” way is the best one can do for their own evolution out of their own limitations.

I have pondered many times onto statements by people who accuse me of acting selfish, narcissistic or being unfair. And I realized that at that point they were right, and I wondered why I was doing that. And following the thread, I got to the point where I realized that the narcissist is a child who stopped evolving, stopped maturing and never left the house of their parents (metaphorically speaking). They’re entitled to things and people’s attention and energy, exactly as a child feels, and they’re failing to take full responsibility for anything they do or say, exactly like a child.

Even when they’re touched by love, all they care about is only the fulfillment of their own ideas of “happiness”, forgetting to take the other person into consideration, forgetting to give and serve selflessly, not knowing that they are just taking and taking and by not giving, they’re going to exhaust that person’s energy and good will and will eventually bring about rapture.

So, whenever someone says something to me, I might take time to assess their words, like I would ponder on specialist advice. This made me realize how much we can grow even just by being exposed to  people who might misjudge us.

The path to healing is honesty to self and others. But there’s a caveat to this: I used to be overly critical of myself (twisting and fully denying my own perspective), and I can easily see now that any of the extremes are wrong, as in any other situation. So, being fully dismissive of others is extreme and not beneficial, whereas being fully submissive is not the solution either.

The secret is always in the middle path, the path of balance. Balance is the Divine law inherent in everything and anyone. When we search for balance, we’re always on the right track to removing ourselves from the limitations of the existence of the human body.

So being ourselves is a huge step to seeing and acknowledging our shadow and the wounded child within, along with the Eternal Spirit of the Absolute, also is a chance to lose all the unnecessary people in our proximity, just by being aligned with ourselves instead of showing some “kinder” face in order to preserve relationships and things that were never ours to have. Therefore, after the shock of losing so many people, the newly discovered vibration of truth and self-sufficiency is going to start attracting similar or at least higher vibrating beings and situations, like ending high school clears the path to university.

Being fully ourselves when we are deeply wounded and traumatized may have as a direct consequence, the loss of the majority of people in our surroundings, and that can deepen the sense of crisis, but it’s not a mistake at all, because we can get a chance to see how our actions and words come from the desire to possess people and things and from very traumatic events from our early ages or even unresolved past life unsolved traumas and a misunderstanding of life and its purpose.

So a very narcissistic/mentally disturbed person, who doesn’t want to evolve, will be forced to reassess the whole thing/life one last time, by hitting rock bottom! Hitting the bottom is, when everyone leaves, everyone abandons them because of the atrocious behavior, or when life will force a deep traumatic event as a last chance, a last wake-up call. They’ll either realize that the only way is up, and see their flaws and genuine desire to heal, or they’re going to postpone the process for the next existence.

Now I dare say that not many are in that predicament, as I consider a severe mental health issue a karmic punishment or a spiritual jail. Yet undoubtedly, we all have traits coming from unresolved trauma that make us exhibit narcissistic, bipolar, borderline behavior or any other distorted abnormal features. So, while we are not full-fledged narcissists, there might be a chance to heal, as long as there is the acknowledgment of something being wrong with us.

Being ourselves is valuable in any situation, especially in learning to protect our own energy from people that only drain it. Being kind doesn’t mean you should allow spiritual vampires to suck you dry. Spiritual vampires are not necessarily obvious evil people, but most of the time they are family members, our spouses and friends that we may feed with our energy because of our lack of boundaries and because we try to please people. Also, being who we truly are Wil inspire others to accept and embrace themselves fully, which is, in the long term, planting the seeds for a better humanity.

When the silence talks

Throughout the years of my life, I have had experiences that could have easily been spread over several lifetimes, such concentrated lessons in a succession of events that seemed at points to be the very end of the experience in this body. That’s how strongly their pain has been felt.

An external observer would be unable to assess the true vastness and range of experiences, as many of the recent events that touched me were mostly internal battles, inner struggles and processes of transmutation. I am amazed by the fact that I am still here, back again from my inner infernal places, able to write about it all.

I have risen and fallen so many times. I have reached heights of understanding and realizations that I am still surprised I managed to grasp, and at points I was deprived (I forgot) of all that knowledge and wisdom, and even been pushed again to plunge so deep back into the very depths of my shadowy self, to the very abyss that we are all trying to pretend it exists not within our hidden chambers. And yet here I am, all scarred, dusty and almost lost, found again with a true smile on my face and unlimited gratitude to the Grace of the Eternal that manifested through people, events and the entire movements of the gears of Life and its incredible stories and twists.

Such an amazing game of hide and seek we’re playing with ourselves. Such a great example of the living paradox that is a Soul exploring the lower material plane, such a trap, so cunning this construct and so incredibly booby-trapped at every step. Everything yells for our attention and energy, everything is doing its utmost to steal some juice(energy) from us one way or another, to keep us blind, stumbling in mediocrity. It’s indeed a war, but not with any external forces, but with internal self-created demons who are fighting to preserve and defend the status quo, to try and ensure the survival of the old paradigms of control and their self-preservation.

I am living a true miracle, but only now do I recognize it as such. My old self would scoff and roll his eyes in disbelief and hopelessness, as probably the reaction of the majority of people who ever met me. My “miracle” may look like nothing or even like a scary thing for the unadvised. The simplicity of it all is almost impossible to grasp by the overcomplicated reasoning mechanism of the limited mind bound to old concepts. Even I have fallen back to old paradigms so many times, unable to hold onto the realization of the truth.

I am! I truly feel that these 2 words and 3 letters are all encompassing, like the primordial particle out of which everything sprouted out. “I am” is realized in silence.

The silence and its power are often times misunderstood and disregarded. Yet when you dare facing it, embracing it, it’ll talk to you and you will Know! When you embrace the “boredom” of staying in silence with yourself, the whole Universe will reveal its hidden song, the song of Life and Love, the song that reminds us that we are One, that we are enough, and it is in every single moment of Now that we are always wholesome and perfect.

When we embrace what we used to run away from, we will be able to get all the missing parts of the puzzle that we were searching for only in our comfort zone. Such a fallacy, to look for knowledge and wisdom only where we expect it to be, as silly as being on a bridge and losing a precious object in the river, yet deciding to look for it on the bridge to avoid wetting our clothes.

Truth and pieces of it are found in the places that we least expect. One of this “places” is the silence. What’s ignored, and disregarded, has hidden in it some juice that can’t be found elsewhere. Dare to turn each stone in your life upside down with courage and determination, and you will hear the silence that speaks, that sings and that guides.

My deepest gratitude to my Guru and the entire Higher realm that protects and guides us!

Become fearless

For a long period of time, I thought that fearlessness was a state of total lack of fear, as thoughtlessness is lack of thoughts, yet I came to realize that although it might eventually be possible to be so, there’s an intermediary state that has to be integrated in order for that potential to become true.

There are embedded fears programmed in our body for the sake of preserving life and bodily integrity, but other fears, more insidious, are just to keep us bound and limited, fully identified with the ephemeral existence of the human body. When aware, these can be easily spotted, identified and worked with.

I have noticed that I have moments when the body automatically reacts to a certain stimulus like a powerful noise in the middle of the night, and the heart starts racing and adrenaline rushes through the blood stream and even cold shivers happen. But I observed myself, from the soul and the mind’s perspective. I am not afraid at all, as I am ready to leave this realm at any point. But the body is programmed to respond to those stimuli, and therefore reacts.

I believe that in order to become fearless and be unmoved by anything, we are supposed to face all our fears  to realize their fallacy, as a scared little child dares to open the closet and look under the bed, and then through training like this the body is deprogrammed, hence true fearlessness dawns.

Similarly, to achieve thoughtlessness, I many times used to replace at the beginning the malignant or detrimental thoughts with thoughts which are rather on the positive side. It is somewhat rudimentary, yet it works, but it requires being continuously aware of the body and mind and observing the thought process.

The next level is when we realize that in reality no thoughts are or were ever ours, and we train ourselves to disregard them all together unless we are solicited in the material world, and we have to employ the thought process.

At this stage, thoughts are still coming, yet if aware, we give them no attention, no energy. Therefore, they have no power to create emotions which will change into more thoughts and push us to action. That’s when thoughts become malignant, yet if they’re disregarded, they’re just like wild animals behind a thick glass wall in a zoo. You see them, yet they have no power to distract or disturb you, unless you allow them to.

The most advanced state which I have experienced a few times is when deep meditative absorption is canceling the thought creation, and they seem inexistent, and I would dare to assume that it is because the high vibration of the person in deep meditation doesn’t allow the lower level where thoughts are born, to appear and rush into the mind.

So to conclude, becoming fearless is a long and tedious process that requires discipline and perseverance and facing all possible fears while trying to maintain a higher vibration level. And probably all I say is known, yet my realization of the body having an instant reaction, whereas the mind is not in fear I haven’t found anywhere. So, ideally, when we surprise our body experiencing fear, we should first check our hearts and minds and realize that we are eternal, immortal consciousness, so there’s nothing to be afraid of and the bodily reaction will subside immediately as the mind rules over the bodily functions when we are aware, and we know that we can exert this type of control even over the unconscious reflex-like programming which is deeply rooted within it.

True happiness

Our idea of happiness, whilst associated with a person, an object, a place or time, is doomed to flip into unhappiness.

As long as we project the idea of happiness and associate it with anything or anyone outside of us, it will inevitably create and bring about the opposite of what we want, hope, and expect.

Let’s say that we associate our happiness with our loving wife or husband, with whom we share a beautiful relationship. Eventually, that relationship will end one way or another, be it separation, death or any other possible reason; the certain thing is that it is going to end. So happiness being rooted in the external world (outside of us) is always prone to failure.

True happiness is when we finally reside fully within our body, untouched by any external event, people or anything, always bathing in the blissful light of our Being. That happiness is the only true happiness that is worth searching for. It’s the coming-home feeling, the ultimate love found in the union of the Divine Feminine and Masculine inside our very Being, Yin and Yang, and Yoga (Union).

While writing this, I am bathing in that inner happiness that relies on nothing outside of me, and, therefore, it is not bound to vanish ever, even in the moments of distress when I am called outside my being, or when I am distracted and separated from it; that inner peace is still there silently shining, like an inner sun dazzling from within, just for me to remember to return to after the outside incursion.

This true happiness that I am talking about is the very essence of our Being, the Love of the primordial Source hidden in the center of all those particles that separated from It, one day to return home, called by the Highest Vibration of Love and Bliss that is reunification with the Eternal.

The message I am trying to convey is rather abstract and hard, almost impossible to put into words, but without a doubt can be felt and accessed within your very Self. Therefore, dare to look inside yourself and find that most intimate, deepest connection and Love that is always closer to you and your heart than anything and that was patiently waiting for you to remember to listen to that inner silence that sings, to touch that inner peace that can change not only our bodies and proximity but the very world we’re experiencing and everything that we bring into our active consciousness.

Once we get even a glimpse of this true Happiness, we will not put all the eggs into one (external) basket; we won’t be easily distracted by the external calls of the Illusion to capture our attention and energy, but we will calmly step outside (into the world – matrix) with that unshakeable determination and playful attitude that being established in our own Essence can give us.

We were never unhappy, just disconnected from the Source, that Source that is within us and all over outside of us, and there’s nothing that is not That.

Radical self-acceptance

Radical self-acceptance is true self-love. It’s hard, and it doesn’t come easy, as we were told since early childhood that we are not enough, unless we do this or that, look or behave in a certain way.

I train myself in embodying this self-acceptance by allowing myself to say or do stupid things without trying to save face, without defending. I see myself wanting to write a message to someone and, either while writing it or right after, I see it being incomplete, insufficient, silly or outright stupid or just too revealing. Although I am tempted to delete it or edit it I am leaving it there as it is, most of the time, as I am not trying to create a good image of myself anymore. I am more and more allowing people to perceive me as they want, and I  sometimes enjoy observing myself and that inner struggle I have in which I force myself not to defend or correct people’s impressions of me.

Of course, I am still work in progress, so I am at points catching myself trying to repair it and I even do it sometimes. But I am heading there.

How can we truly accept someone else in our lives fully when we haven’t yet done that in our cases? How can we accept someone else’s flaws and differences unless we’ve at least started to do that about ourselves.

Radical self-acceptance is a mandatory step on the path to remembering and embracing who we truly are. And self acceptance is not about all the bright features and characteristics, but wholesomely and fully incorporating every single aspect especially the undesirable ones courageously.

I am many times writing something to a girl that I fancy, and after I sent the message I go back and read it again and I see all the things I can improve, I should delete or edit… Most of the time I leave it as it is, offering an off-ramp, a possibility to see this part of mine which can help them run away. Why walking on eggshells? I am what I am, and I will definitely continue to do or say things that are less than perfect. Why would I try to create a fake image about myself when I like people to see me as I am?, so in case they like me, they will like the real me, and not some fancy image that I created, and that I assume would be better than the real me.

This is where we are wrong and hence we keep unnecessary people in our proximity through the fake image we project, enforce, and we keep our true soul-family and potential suitable partners apart because of our fear of not being “perfect” or enough by failure to fully embracing our own expression.

I am enough! For myself at least, therefore in my life, and with my apparent flawed version that I dare to expose to the outside world now a miracle happens: People are reacting different to me, people who used to like me (the mask) are not anymore interested and people who are more genuine and are as unapologetically themselves as I am learning to be are attracted to me. It’s beautiful. Finally, not trying to please anyone, nor playing roles, not trying to save face or force a certain perception onto people, but radical self-acceptance.

If you haven’t tried it, I recommend you to give it a shot. Yes, you’ll lose some unnecessary acquaintances in the process, but you can’t lose what’s yours, so be happy, as a more real life is being shaped and you’re slowly removing unnecessary debris from the old idea of how you ought to be and you start discovering who you truly are.

Once you start loving yourself for who you are, others will be more open to accepting and loving you for that. Isn’t that amazing?

In order to become Something, unbecome everything

We tend to approach our growth and evolution in the same distorted way as an ambitious approach to achieve material wealth and success in the world. It is the very greed-fueled approach that seems to be so “normal”. Unfortunately you can’t use tools used in carpentry in a marble quarry. Therefore an old approach to understanding the depths of the Universe, mysteries and secrets beyond the apparent with our obsolete tools are going to be promoting an imaginary type of evolution which is only happening in our fantasy and ego.

It’s hard to convey in words what I realized within, but let the transmission of my realization reach out to all of you reading and may at some point reach the same realization if you haven’t done so already.

In order to realize things out of the box, we have to be out of the box. Exiting our “righteous” routines and ways to look at the experience are helping us to step out and have a broader understanding of the world and everything. The sailors on a sailboat can blow air into the sail as powerful as they can but the boat will stand unmoved regardless, as in order to exert the influence on that sail one has to be outside of the boat.

The path to “the out of the box” realm is by changing the way we see things, people and events. Whilst we still see those in very dual way, like: those are my friends and these are the enemies, you will still be blowing in your sail while standing on the boat.

Once we start stoicly accepting everything in our lives as ours to have and we stop perceiving people in a antagonistic way, realizing that everyone is a catalyst in our potential unfolding, life will start to look different, and even events and people will stop being so triggering for us.

It took me a lot of time to get here and I am still wondering if I can be able to mantain this level of perception tomorrow, as the Matrix tries to bring us back to its thralls but the heck with tomorrow, as it doesn’t exist.. I am here now and I can read this article tomorrow (if tomorrow comes), and  I will remember today’s realization.

To come back to the title, when we stop wanting to become anything, and we start detangling from the bondage of all the ideas we have about ourselves, and everything else, practically unbecoming everything, the reality rushes in, and pompous words like “we are all One” really start to be perceived at their proper depth, as perceiving a level of reality that renders all previous ideas and concepts obsolete.

Everything that used to excite my imagination and look for in the future just stopped being appealing. I can and will still have some of those, but there’s no “need” or longing for any of those, a real level of detachment dawned onto me. And at first is so painful like you wake up and see all the fake, glitter and sparkling stuff falling off everything that we used to appreciate and look forward to getting,  now showing its ugly, rusted and even unnecessary side.

If you are ready to abandon the pursuit of all those little things that used to give a meaning to life, then this is how it goes, but if not yet, no worries. I believe that this realization comes only after diving deep in the material plane (illusion) with awareness, when you realize that you are Sisyphus, and trying to push that boulder uphill will never work and you decide to just accept that hilltop without the boulder there. The boulder in this case is all that baggage of ideas and concepts that used to be the background ruler of everything happening in our lives.

When we stop wanting to be recognized as anything, and we allow people to misunderstand and wrongly assume that we are like this or like that, then we’ve walked a long way and our disillusionment is very close. There’s nothing to defend, or prove. Whoever is to get our true essence they will, whoever is not to grasp who and what are we about, they will not, regardless of us trying to convince  or prove them otherwise.

When you unbecome all the ideas you had about yourself, then you become “I am”, and that is impossible to explain in words, you don’t need any quality attached to that “I am” as you are Everything and Nothing. That takes you out of the trap of souls: that makes you be in the world, yet not of the world; no longer wanting to save anyone or anything as you’ll start seeing the perfection of the world as it is, in its apparent imperfection.

What we avoid should be embraced

People in their majority, and here I also include myself, are programed to avoid certain feelings, people, and experiences altogether, although in reality, I have noticed that valuable information and lessons are hidden where we least expect and implicitly in what we avoid.

I can give a very mundane example in which my entire life I was trying to keep myself comfortable especially when coming to extreme temperatures, be it cold or hot. I was always shaking uncontrollably when exposed to cold and suffering greatly when exposed to heat.

One day I went to the sauna with my girlfriend at that time and usually I like warm shower even after the sauna, even if the majority may use a cold shower to create resilience both of the body as of character.

My girlfriend went straight into the cold water which was probably no more than couple of degrees, and was just sitting there without whining or shaking. That was the moment when I was in awe with her stoic resilience and realized that I was weak in this particular matter.

Some years after I was talking to a friend online and said that I am not going out because it was very cold and I I would rather stay in the warmth of my home.

She laughed and said that men sometimes can be so weak, and that she prefers pushing her limits to build her character. Again I felt I was doing something wrong. Since that moment I started taking cold showers after the hot one. The first ones were probably less than 5 seconds 😁, but slowly I increased the time until I reached the moment when I can easily take only cold shower in the morning, and also in the pools I started using the cold water pools which are 0 degrees, and I stay there 2 to 3 minutes at a time.

As a beneficial result I see that my resilience to extreme temperatures increased several fold, as to the point that this winter I haven’t been using a hat despite very cold days. But my point is not in emphasizing the physiological benefits but rather to point out my realization of the fact that when we avoid something and try to force into our lives just the pleasant or comfortable, then we force life to push onto us those gathered small inconvenient events that we avoid snowballed into a big “negative” event to restore the balance.

As I stated in previous articles, I feel life as a continuous ebbing and flowing, a continuous change from Yin to Yang and vice-versa into a perpetual movement of the polarities.

So to get to the theory I propose to my readers to observe:

If we don’t embrace the negative aspects and events, which in reality are not only not “negative” at all, but teaching and enhancing our awareness and forcing us to reason, observe and ponder on the experience, then the choice is that we will have life, or consciousness forcing onto us the gathered accumulated negative charge which can be too much for us to bear.

So just by having a cold shower we embrace the discomfort that at first we experience whilst having it, although later the whole negative aspect of it flips into positive. Just by extrapolation, you can realize inside your own life whenever you try to avoid the discomfort and hoping for the opposite, and choose to change the approach.

As such, when we avoid certain type of people or/and experiences that life is pushing onto us over and over again, we fail to examine the reason behind that, as nothing in life just happens, as I don’t believe anymore in that neither in the existence of sheer luck.

So there are several benefits as I have noticed in embracing what we usually tend to reject or run away from. And those benefits are multidimensional. And once we realize that just by embracing and facing what we used to try to escape from, life will become smoother and more balanced.

With gratitude for Anna (the friend I talked about above ) , who unknowingly inspired me to face the harsh weather and implicitly life’s challenges.

We are kept distracted

I just had a moment while on the plane and contemplated how the Matrix/ illusion tries to keep us busy: experiencing and loooking for pleasure and getting entangled in its traps, or keeping us paying attention to the pain and trying to escape it. One way or another, we’re kept busy in a lower level of vibration, which is not easy to break free from.

I had a visual representation of the illusion as being like a clown, trying to maintain one’s attention focused on its mumbo-jumbos, and monkey business, through making one laugh or sad or always in the state of paying attention and investing that energy in the distraction as to always be slaves of our senses and the fictitious story they’re telling us.

Of course, to some extent, we have to find the balance of either going to the extreme of abandoning life as it is since we came to have this experience, neither becoming captured by the theatrics nor taking the dream for fully fledged reality.

The illusion has a powerful grip on the souls because of their voluntary (or maybe not so voluntary) confinement into the physical body, which compared to the limitlessness of the soul is reduced and compressed to something similar to the plane we live in, the world as we know, would compress itself into a tiny particle. Although I feel that on a Reality level, the quantum level, these things are possible, and they’re not limiting or restricting either the potency or the conscious aspect of the “big” element squeezed into a very minute one.

But the world we’re in has a specific programming that forces the particles to behave in a certain way and crystallize in the form of their programming. In reality, whatever we experience is very far from the true Reality, and I get more and more the concept of the universe we experience as being a mental construct and not at all physical as stated in hermetic writings and other scriptures.

We, being in the bodies, are bound to a certain degree to the program running in the background, although our full limitless potential is latent within, waiting for the veil of ignorance to be lifted by the right judgment or the lack of it (disregarding the thinking mechanism – which is one of the guardians of the mental projection) and for us to reinstate ourselves as possible co-creators. In other words, we’re living in someone else’s fantasy world and because we believe in the subtantiality of the world, we empower it with our conscious potency. So the world is truly a collective dream constructed by someone outside of it for fun, and I don’t mean the Ultimate Existence, although everything and everyone is part of That. But I mean that souls have evolved into realizing their true power and potential and enjoy creating different worlds and existences for their entertainment and further expansion.

Just imagine that you allow your mind to fantasize freely, and you see yourself as a king or some other type of powerful being, and you populate that fantasy of yours with beings of your own imagination; there’s no limit to what you can project and create. Your ideas become strokes of a paintbrush on a blank canvas.

This is exactly what we’re facing; we’re just characters in someone’s dream following our designated paths until the dissolution of the physical form, like NPCs (nonplayer characters) in a game that fulfill certain roles yet unaware of their ephemeral existence of being part of the movie.

When we awake we slowly slowly get back to being a more conscious being which starts growing out of the programming and realizes the power of creation that he /she had at their disposal at any point in time. From that moment on, life starts to be more coherent although it doesn’t mean that the ebbing and flowing that are inherent in this creation are going to stop. Not at all, but by employing awareness we have the chance to avoid the tsunami of the emotions which were eternally dragging us back to the box/ jail , now we can make a conscious decision and raise ourselves into a state where we can still feel the existence, yet we can decide how deep we allow ourselves to be touched by it.

Another observation when we pull ourselves out of the movie is that we can perceive people who are still drowning in it, unaware of the programming, like we can see children and their mischievous attitudes, in the right way, even though they may have an idea of being smart and cunning and that nobody figures them out.

When observing a person who is still fully lost in the emotional fantasy, we can easily perceive aspects of their character or points of distortion, much more if we have observed those aspects in ourselves and either transmuted and transformed them or keep them in check.

So there’s no superpower, as we all are super-powerful (omnipotent) in our own creations, but we are limited because we accept someone else’s fantasy as our physical world and we empower and enforce it with our ignorance, and those very laws and dictates that keep us bound to it.

I want to re-emphasise that abandoning the world is just another trap, as it is being fully absorbed ignorantly into it. The secret is always in the ballance between these two, like some wise people in the past used to say: immerse yourself fully into the illusion but with the awareness of its fallacy, and aware of your immense power of altering and changing certain programming.

Oh, woman

Oh woman, you beautiful celestial being. On your energy, empires rose to prominence, and empires declined; you are powerful beyond anything. Just by your whisper in the ear of your man, so much can happen. People can vanish like they never existed, and people can come into existence just by your sheer volition.

Many have tried to enslave and control you, yet only by your ignorant complicity and not knowing who you are have they managed to achieve this terrible goal, as through you, the world can crumble, but also be reborn.

Men are reduced to beasts when exposed to your beauty, sexiness, and power. All their intelligence and wisdom is canceled by your smile and you playing with your hair.

But you should know that with great power comes great responsibility, so don’t let yourself be dragged into the lower games as men do, because if you are lost, then the world is lost as well.

Don’t let yourself be pulled into the lowest of the material realm, as your power, if wisely used, is creating all the wealth and charisma that you can dream of without you needing to force anything. Shower your man with love and care and let him love you back, protecting and providing in the material plane while you are supporting everything on an energetic level. Your beauty lies in your inner power that transcends and transpires through your being, not because of some accessories or tricks you use to make yourself look better.

You are already beautiful exactly how you are, no matter how you look; if you let your true nature be revealed, men are lost in your charms without you trying anything, just by daring to fully show yourself.

Men may look at physical qualities and get mesmerized, like dumb animals falling into the sensual trap, but those are the low-level ones, barely different than the beasts. Every woman has at least one man who is lost in her image regardless of whether she has nails, some fancy hairstyle, makeup, beautiful clothes, or anything external.

That man sees you as a wholesome woman made of everything that you embody: your joy, your beauty, your wisdom, your kindness, purity, and your natural beauty, and even if you might see yourself far from perfection… For him, you should know that you are his one and only!

Why don’t you drag your man out of the swamp of evil, ignorance and greed? For you, it would be so easy. Your love and dedication can heal you both. And your beauty of your soul, love and dedication can heal the entire world.

Why don’t you embrace your highest nature of priestess of the Highest, mother of the world and all, a blessing for the righteous knights fighting their demons, and protecting their lady, and a curse for the ones who are remaining in their evil path; without you even wishing so, as the whole creation lays by your feet, ready to jump and devour those who dare to mistreat you.

With your honesty and purity of heart, every entity will start obeying, as they cannot oppose the mother, nor the lover nor the priestess. Of course, by choice, you can be a witch and evil and demonic and fall into victimization as you might have done in previous times. But that’s not you; it is just a shadow. A shadow born out of fear, sheer pain, and insecurity. A role you wanted to play to feel the power. But know that that’s not real power, that comes from trauma. Your true power comes from Love, knowing that you came here to choose your path of freedom, wholesomeness, and transcendence.

To make sure that the path you’re on is pure, see if your action comes from pain and fear, and revenge. Now check your actions if they might be coming from forgiveness and love and understanding, as a loving mother forgives their mischievous kids every single day.

I know at points you feel that they might deserve your wrath, and you might be right to an extent. But know that if we choose to be a tool of justice, we may also expose ourselves to the immutable divine justice that is left in place to guard this realm.

You are the wounded healer who overcame its lower nature and now steps on the same paths that Gods have trod. Do you think that those you see walking beside you can’t destroy those evil just by their raising of a finger? But that’s not the path of the High, as the Highest has patience and implemented rules, laws, rulers, and enforcers that interfere when the balance is broken. Hence rarely do gods interfere, as everything and everyone is brought eventually to balance. But guard your being like a lioness if necessary, and roar at them so they’ll be warned; let them walk backward ashamed, let them recognize and respect your boundaries.

Everything is perfect in its apparent imperfection! Then so are you, oh beautiful woman, just open your eyes and see! Don’t let yourself compare with others, as you’re unique and great and full of wisdom at your level and time and you’re continuously expanding. Smile and let yourself flow with your own heart and Essence of the Being, and see how everything is arranged by life without a doubt. Decide to honor your place among the Gods, as you are virtuous and worthy and without flaw.

Whatever we have done at points was because we were maybe ignorant and growing, as kids grow wiser through trial and error. Don’t let those events in the past shadow your true effulgence in the present moment, as we need you mothers, lovers, and priestesses, and through your love to us, remove our veils of ignorance, greed, and excessive sensuality, and together rise on our thrones of diamond: Emperor and his beloved Empress, an example of honor, Love and Grace and power altogether.

Be flexible

The higher power doesn’t care about concepts and ideas, spiritual theories, or other human constructs of similar nature. Therefore, we shouldn’t try to defend any theory or understanding we may have reached, as in the end, they’re all incomplete and unsuitable to keep holding to. 

That’s why people who are rigid and crystallize themselves around such concepts are unfortunately condemning themselves to stagnation and sorrow, unaware of the continuous movement and evolution of Consciousness. If we hold onto anything we get stuck and start antagonizing the very energy of Everything we strive to realize within. 

When one has accepted any concept as immutable and undeniable, they have taken a break from the path of dissolution of what is not us. Therefore realize that any concept and understanding have their own expiry date and are just tools in the eternal evolution of the soul towards uniting with the Primary Source out of which we have all emerged. 

Continuously embrace flexibility and observe when the time has arrived to abandon what has become obsolete. Allow yourself to flow with Life’s teaching without opposition and you might be getting into the roller-coaster that shakes and turns one upside down in its purpose of removing every single unnecessary particle and information that it’s not You. 

All the bookish/ academic knowledge is a powerful barrier to the one that has acquired it to see deeper into the depths of their Being. But whoever has this huge baggage of  true-at-a-very-basic-level information and dares to empty their bucket, which is filled with stale water, and fill it up with the continuous stream coming from within and from without, has almost crossed “the ocean of Samsara “! (illusion) 

Even if you know much, know that everything is not applying at higher levels of consciousness and let go of the past information that brought you here, yet has to be abandoned for you to go forward, even though this linear description may be inaccurate. 

Similarly with scriptural knowledge, when I started realizing the truth hidden in scriptures, I was so proud that I discovered the truth, but lo and behold, the truth eternally evolves; it’s not a static element on which to hold on. So I learned to feel the knowledge that comes from within, which at points contradicts scriptural knowledge, not because whoever wrote it was corrupt or wrong, but because it passed through several editing and translating processes that corrupted the message. Even if a conjunction is changed in a very important writing transmission, the full understanding may go amiss, and the essence that was intended to be transmitted might be lost, not to say that the lower consciousness of those interfering with the text in their translation, interpretation, and editing is somewhat staining the original message. 

Therefore, keep an open mind and always ask yourself “What if the other is right and I might be wrong?! “ This is also a good way for those who are, in one way or another, experiencing any sort of mental issue, to step on the path of healing themselves. Once we allow humility to kick in and empty our bucket, we open ourselves for life to continuously replenish that water with a fresher and better one every day. 

Let all fetters of “knowledge “come and go on their own accord and see yourself embarking on the path of quantum disillusionment and Unity. 

About demons (part 2)

When we are young and ignorant, dark and evil humans and other entities can look scary and make us shake up with fear. But when we advance in  courage and perseverance, patience and purity, we are growing and expanding, hence the big bad demons and monsters are becoming less and less scary and terrible, and along with this observation, fear vanishes and the old foes are canceled and removed not by antagonistic forceful removal, which perpetuates the violence, and keeps one in a loop, but by sheer growth and broadening of our perspective, the old foes become redundant and obsolete as the entirety of the old perception.

Picture yourself as a child, surrounded by all those enemies and demons and whatever you ever feared. Then see the fearful child growing and matching the opposing force’s stature, and now it looks like a fairer fight, yet see yourself expanding further, outgrowing all the foes until they look like tiny little insects. And you can argue that insects can still sting or bite. True, yet see yourself growing further until they are just microscopic harmless beings. And yet the growth is eternal, and nothing can touch you because there’s nothing else existing at that level of expansion but You. And you finally understand what and how it is and feels to be One with it All, and you see the vanity and futility of trying to grasp its meaning before the time is right. Now smile and rejoice! You have been revealed the secret.

What you fight you become. So don’t fight anything, but transmute, transcend and outgrow. Let your effulgence burn all the old and unnecessary. May all the ideas of separation be removed by the pure realization of who and what you are. Know yourself as limitless and boundless. You are Everything that ever existed and will ever be. Yes You!  And I am telling that to you, because I am you.

Good and bad, angels and demons are interpretations and different aspects of the same thing. In reality, there is no separation and you can feel what I am saying because the real information will always click within you, so you know that all these separations are inexistent, created by the mind for enjoyment, like kids and their imagination creating an entire world out of toys and whatever else they have at hand for fun.

Demons and angels are the same wholesome existence taking a role in the creation of the biggest director that ever existed: You, the All, The primary Source, The One without beginning and end, and all the rest of the existence, and living beings and entities and the inert matter, which was never inert but playing a role in the greatest theatrical play from beyond times.

You might get the message and the image I portrayed as a reminder of what you already know, and still you might go back to old beliefs, your chores and responsibilities in this experience, seemingly forgetting it, but that powerful spark of your higher self, that knowledge and presence has been ignited and will remain with you and îs growing, dispeling whatever is not real.

Live your existence fully without refusing experience that life pushes onto you, check it and double check it to make sure it is Life itself pushing those experiences and then embrace them fully. But behind the curtain of the theater let there be always the awareness, as guardian of truth, and enjoy the game knowing that it is a giant game put into the scene for your growth, expansion and entertainment and remove the fear once and for all.

Letter from God

My dear,

I am That which you are too, only you don’t know yet. I am everything that ever existed and I have no end nor beginning. People call me many names but I need none since I am The All.

You are a self-writing script. When I allowed myself to split into many, I  permitted all those pieces of myself to have their own free will, with all that implies, and I allowed them to go as far away from me as they wanted. Therefore, that apparent separation and identification with the body they chose to inhabit created their forgetfulness and limitedness.

I need no worship nor acknowledgement since I am everything and all. I would rather have you worship  yourself my dear. Religions are made by people to control people, they have nothing to do with me, but I allow them because at incipient level of evoluution they can bring people to a straighter path, but as the child grows up to become an adult, he must abandon stories about monsters in their closets or under bed, just by realizing that there is nothing there. So, I am everywhere and I am everything, how can anyone mediate between us when we are not separate? Do you think you need to do anything to be my child and have my love? I love you exactly how you are, so you should love yourself too, because that’s the only way you will remove your veils of ignorance and and come back to Oneness.

Don’t ask me for things as your children don’t ask you for food, love, and other necessary things for sustenance and proper development. They’re just being provided. You may want things that you don’t need, therefore they’re not provided. You can still fight the natural order and try to get it regardless, but even when you get those things that are not supposed for you to have, the struggle to get there will be so great and the price so hefty that you might get disappointed. Try to flow with life, oppose as little as possible and everything that is yours will come to you. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do anything or become lazy, because if so, things will fail to come your way.

Everything and everyone is allowed to function and malfunction by their own free volition. But as a cell that doesn’t fulfill its appointed role in the system gets removed and expelled from it, as such the entire program of the existence in this plane applies to every single subatomic particle and Universes alike. Everything in this creation is moving and everything is subjected to creation and dissolution except I. Therefore, you being one with me, you are never at risk of harm or dissolution, but your material appearance is subjected to the natural laws, where everything is eternally changing. Embrace change and flow with life’s stream and you will experience what’s yours to have. I don’t promise you it will be easy or only pleasant, but it will empower you and strengthen you for your next adventure.

I am not guarding over the earth as I created rules and rulers, laws and enforcers and everything is abiding by those Divine laws. But rest assured that my awareness is omnipresent. Whilst you are limited in your understanding and ignorant as a child to the true reality of things, those rules and laws keep you bound to this plane, but when your veils are falling you will raise to a higher realm, where different laws and rules are in place.

There is free will, but there is retribution if the laws are not worked with. I empowered you with my full power but so far you are ignorant of it and limited by whatever living being you inhabit and by identifying yourself with it. Know that you have the power to free yourself from the fetters that bind you. Know that you are always free, but if you believe otherwise you create that by your own power and volition.

You created gods and idols hoping to appease me, yet I am just aware of you being a child in your limited understanding of everything and I am waiting for you to allow yourself to grow and see that you are already Everything and one with Everyone and you don’t need neither help nor saviors, no external tools whatsoever.

Why do you think that your archeology didn’t find flying machines from ancient times? Because people were powerful, aware of their rights and their powers, and unlimited in their capacity to do anything they wanted to. The more people distance themselves from that advanced state, the more they externalized their power outwards and removed their own. They created religions and dogma, they created moving and flying machines when for them there was no space-time boundary and were free to roam everywhere. Wake up and see for yourselves.

The greater the power you have, the greater your responsibility. When you are an ignorant child you are careless and responsibility-free, but adults are responsible for you instead. And you are responsible when you start waking up, responsible for your body you inhabit, and for the nature you interact with. Know that there is no inert matter, everything is living, since everything is Me. Respect and love yourself and you’ll be implicitly respect and love me and my infinite forms I take and we should be One. We are already that but your childish ignorance and limiting beliefs are keeping you forcefully separated.

Everything is limited and separated, consciousness that grows into Oneness, into The Consciousness. I love each and every one of you and I make no difference regardless of what you chose to do or not. Become like that and one day you will know Me, from within and then you will see everything that you missed.

Earth is a living being that you are part of. Earth is a small cell inside my infinite body, like a tiny little cell in your body. As above so below! I left you with all my power, tools, and knowledge, now remove the childlike vision and become a grown-up. You are responsible for everything you are aware of, as I am responsible for everything that exists. If you don’t try to take things out of context, you will realize that everything is always perfect in its apparent imperfection. Relax and smile and grow from being my child to be again One with the void and with the creation, One with the Primordial Source of Everything.

We are One!

Recognizing true love

When it hits you, you will know it. Everything else will seem like jokes. Every other previous relationship will look like a parody or a kindergarten work.

Even if it’s not immediate recognition, you will feel something different. There’s something that you can’t pinpoint, something that finally clicks. And it’s not (only) on a physical basis, although that is most likely there too.

Things that others or even you considered about yourself as being flaws throughout your life, are appealing for that “one and only”. But I have to warn you that a lot of trial and error might be needed until that union is unlocked. Therefore dare to immerse yourself in love and life with courage and perseverance. Love and be loved; try to always bring a higher awareness, virtues, purity, and wisdom to the new relationship, and it may be the perfect one that you’ve been craving. If it is not that, be happy that you passed through a new opportunity to become better every single time, so that will ensure that you are better prepared for the very best whenever time is right.

Exercise truth and virtue and Grace will be with you, decide to shift the gears, and forget about the old, stałe and obsolete. Don’t be upset in case of failure. Know for sure that you are training for the real deal. Even scarred and hurt, you can rise again and allow yourself to dedicate  again, with force and determination.

I promise you, when you have done all your homework and maybe when you have lost all hope, but you’re still having your heart open only you don’t believe much anymore in the possibility of meeting “the one and only”, then he/she appears…

They’re both beaten by lives they’ve experienced and they are scarred like two pitbulls that survived lots of fights. They’re at first checking each other incredulously; feeling something, but  no longer jumping head first. They feel the attraction, but then again: “it happened so many times and it wasn’t that, right”? So they take everything with a cautious excitement, neither believing nor dismissing, but observing without hope nor fear, but with their open hearts taking again the leap of faith.

Be fully yourself this time, be fully truthful, show yourself in your full blaze of your Being. Whoever is not your person will run away for sure. Don’t you walk on eggshells ever again! Don’t wear masks no more! Just be yourself, but respect and accept other’s differences while honoring yourself and your self-expression fully too. But if you know that you want only That, the true One and Only, the pure Chintamani gem of your soul, why would you waste your time with anything less than that?

When that person appears, you feel like you can finally relax, you are accepted and seen as and for what you are, and you equally do it yourself. No matter if close or far, the hearts are connected, you can feel it. There’s connection, there’s love, there’s recognition. And yes, even if one of them is still not yet opened up fully, you can tell that the feelings are equally shared, a sense of deep longing takes place even after short breaks in the communication due to different chores and programs. A feeling of coming home is recognized while in the presence of the other.

It might not be easy since life has a funny sense of humor, and different aspects might give an idea of things being complicated, yes. But there’s true love that makes one endure whatever fire of purification and renewal is there. The present moment is acknowledged and treasured; a deep and subtle spiritual teaching is taking place just through sheer interaction, and the teaching is mutual and happens naturally, unforced. They are both learning one from the other, just like two communicating vessels equalizing each other in knowledge and vibration. It’s like merging. It’s beautiful, might be rough, but if hearts are open, everything is dealt with with ease, and the growth of their perception is exponentially and steadily expanding.

Love is the background and base of everything, and everything becomes easier; everything that seemed like a pain in the arse is now just another buzzing mosquito that fails to scare anyone.

Love is healing and empowering; it is undoubtedly the most powerful force in Existence; it’s the force motrice of Everything.

May all readers be given the chance to experience the ultimate love!

Enough

Has anyone wondered how does it feel to reach a wider perspective while in the human body? Some may assume it should look glorious, majestic and flamboyant. That’s why they miss it. Everyone expects shine and sparkle and glory, yet it feels like vain. It feels like  disappointment from the human perspective.

That’s why we can’t really see it. The diamond is in the dirt, light comes from the primordial darkness, which is neither this nor that. It is in the monotonous and boring layers of life that we’ll find that peace and fulfillment we’re searching for. By accepting the disappointment, and not seeing it anymore as such we will find Love. By seeing it in people and actions where everyone else sees something else, we’ll see ourselves as Love without a doubt and it will feel enough.

Oh, it feels so lonely and painful at first, but the background is always made of peace and quiet. I am no longer afraid of death and neither afraid of life. I am no longer striving for happiness since I have found it by embracing its opposite. If I no longer want anything, how would I taste disappointment?

My life all of the sudden makes sense in its apparent lack of it. I am no longer running and neither looking for anything. Even a curse might be turned into a blessing when you are accepting life just as it comes, with least interference yet doing everything that is to be done. Everything is part of the great cosmic play that emerged from within us.

I won’t be afraid no more, even if when I wake up tomorrow, the poison ivy of the world would have already brought me back, even though it happens every day. We are daily brought back to the very matrix, and to the previous understanding that kept us bound. Bound to a certain outcome and hopes for “something that is good”, back to the thralls of illusion. 

In me now is the  blooming truth that grows and that expands eternally, once revealed, never to be covered. And each time I will get back to the illusion, its power weakens, a scary tsunami in a painting  on the wall that fails to hurt anyone but the fearful, hence prepare your trust to life and in yourself, let’s all go back to knowing who and what we are.

I am diving in pain and suffering and even vice, yet I am not stained by any, I see it all for what it is. No power should prevail over the one who is aware, but his only power of the Self. The wholesomeness that we project and expect as a reward for the struggle, it doesn’t feel like what we would expect to feel. Yet it is a reward in itself. It’s a brand new understanding and perception, that enriches us and pushes us forth.

We’re all projecting positivity onto it and therefore we are missing it. But once we’ve seen it, we will know. Things that used to be so heavy, are just mild jokes that faded throughout clouds of time and space.

I have lost everything so many times: people, things and even timeliness, yet I am past that, although it may look like I am not. A cuckoo bird for everyone else, or maybe a Phoenix bird born again out of its remaining ashes for myself. I look the same, yet I am not, and I am not scared of what is not, since I am all, and all is One. I am indeed my God, the one that created everything for my experience and sport, and you’re your own God and yet we’re all One. Do you see how what seems antagonistic and opposing in fact is One and nothing else exists but That?

Through pain and loss and sorrow I have discovered joy, but joy that does not look like joy but rather emptiness, an emptiness that’s full of everything and nothing, a wholesomeness that you will feel once you had your share of everything, and you will understand that running for something, chasing a selfish goal, is taking you  far away from Self. So Self is found where you least expect it, within and in all the other places also, under the most boring stone of disappointment, under the unfulfilled desire when you realize its vanity.

Enough with running, enough with chasing, I have nothing to achieve or to repair since everything is right and it is “good”, even the worst of the worst is nothing but That, yourself and nothing else but That encapsulating all, a movie that now looks old in black and white, that was created for your entertainment and experience and at points you took it for  real. Let us wake up and  head towards Reality .

The battle for time

In this experience, we came to have there’s a continuous battle for our time, an occult battle that exhausts our most precious asset while in this dimension: TIME.

All the movie creators and providers, TV, and social media are stealing our time. Also our phones have becomed their biggest tool of time-stealing. Time which we can use to work with our inner child, to face and incorporate our shadow self, to face fears, work with our distortions, spot the programming, and undo it for us to free ourselves from everything that we are not.

Spending time with our dear ones and meeting interesting and wise people is not a waste of time since there’s a continuous exchange of energy and emotions happening on a subtle level which soothes our beings, but everything should be done and experienced in moderation and a non-compulsive way, and awareness should be always employed.

We are living in a constant race in which everything is trying to drain us out of this unknown treasure that we are so easily wasting.

How can we reverse this unfortunate waste? you might ask. One of the secrets is: to be aware, no matter what are we engaged in doing, or saying, whatever we might be listening to. Like that, everything is observed, and the simple fact that we are fully conscious of what’s going on changes the whole process.

Let’s say we’re out drinking and going to the disco, if our Higher awareness is not there, we will only waste time and expose ourselves to subtle possession of entities that are happily taking temporary advantage of the ignorants drinking and dancing and whatnot. But when the awareness is involved, the whole thing happening is under “adult supervision” and we observe ourselves craving for alcohol, wanting to attract attention, we realize the mechanisms behind all those actions and their potential value or lack of it altogether.

Awareness is the key, like a loving parental figure watching the little child wobbling around and pointing out the hidden aspects and sharing important knowledge about  the apparent situation. Awareness is observing how alcohol intake is diminishing the connection between the observer and itself, how everything if left adrift tends to go to unconscious desires coming to the surface and how it opens up our aura for entities to possess us and push us even more down the slippery slope of forgetfulness and vice.

At points the awareness vanishes, or its capacity to steer us back to ourselves is big-time diminished. That’s the point where unwanted entry happens and when we might even lose our limited awareness of what we do and experience. That one of the instances through which time loss happens and many times we’re totally unaware of that happening.

Another instance when we are wasting time unnecessarily is when we fall to compulsory actions, we binge-eat, binge-watch something on the phone or TV, binge-drink, use substances for the sake of “having fun”. There’s nothing wrong with having fun in life, but some of the activities that we consider in the category of “having fun” are very detrimental especially if they become a habit, therefore a big time-stealer is the desire. Any desire is an impulse to have or do something which is supposed to entertain us but if properly observed it may reveal its dark side.

The desire appears out of the lack of our inner peace and acceptance of life as it is, a feeling of lack and insufficiency. So finding our inner peace and self-reliance is mandatory to diminish the power that desires exert in our existence.

Even reading a book is a waste of time, especially if the information in that book fails to bring to the awareness important and valuable information that will make us thrive further. As such watching a video online can add value to our existence or steal our precious life through consuming the limited treasure of time. We should question our actions and impulses by asking ourselves if going somewhere or doing something is going to be a waste of time (from the higher perspective) or it’s going to add precious information, experience and wisdom. But whatever is done through being conscious and aware it undoubtedly brings value and wisdom to the experience.

A healthy dose of pragmatism should be taken along with all our activities and the question that ought to be asked i: how is this going to enrich my life experience or what can I observe and learn from it? At points, we just want to relax and have fun, lose ourselves for a while in some “unhealthy” or not-so-beneficial actions. Do it! We came to experience a big range of experiences but do it with awareness, be conscious while doing it and it will only add to your knowledge, and apply balance to everything and you can’t go wrong.

Everything that is experienced once or twice adds value and expertise. Therefore we shouldn’t run away from life either, but whatever becomes a habit, especially if it’s the use of substances, addictions to alcohol, food, and sex among other things, are detrimental and fulfilling the role of time-stealers.

Time is the greatest treasure in this ephemeral existence. The rulers of the world are well aware of it, therefore they are all into capturing as much as they can from the masses, and they’re developing continuously their capacity to capture our time and implicitly our lives. Ideally, we should start questioning how our time is used, and what’s the benefit of doing something from a higher/spiritual perspective. Again: if it’s a first time, even if detrimental, it adds to the wisdom and the experience if properly assessed. But whatever becomes a compulsion, whatever is hard to exit from, it’s a trap.

Also another secret to staying fully conscious and experiencing life with awareness is avoiding projections in the future or roaming in the past through the thoughts, in other words staying in “Now”.

Past and future are also stealing the present moment, so it is depriving ourselves of the only valuable experience that happens NOW.

Now let’s go out there and employ our full consciousness, be aware regardless of what we are engaged in, and instead of losing time, whatever we might be doing, we will gain wisdom through continuous observation and by balancing our life through that awareness.

Life is a movie

Life is a movie that is so well made that it absorbs us in it, it captures us with its plots and twists that we risk forgetting ourselves and getting immersed in the drama and the apparent tragedy that’s on the screen.

Our Higher Self enjoys the movie, and it does so because of the interactive aspect of it and because each element can bring about expansion but it can also entrap the soul by the forgetfulness of who and what we are. The identification with the body is one of the traps. It’s like meeting someone and presenting yourself:

Hi, I am Nissan!

Hi, I am Ford

Sounds silly isn’t it? Now, know that we are pure Light and a splinter of the fabric of Everything g that Is, how can we be John or Jane? We drive a “John” or “Jane” vehicle, Yes, but we are definitely not limited nor bound to that. But the idea that we are John binds us to that prison, the body of John, which limits very much our perception about everything, and entraps us into the self-created snare.

No matter how we may perceive it, the movie (life) is a masterpiece. It’s such a great success that we lost ourselves in its thralls, lives after lives. But nothing is that tragic, nothing is bad. We chose to forget ourselves or we were captured by the intricacy and by its unexpected turns and flips, so what? Look at the amount of experience we’ve accumulated.

One way to pull ourselves out of our limitedness is remembering that we are beyond everything we see, believe, or feel, and I am being purposely a bit ambiguous because it’s enough to just remember that we are definitely not what we assume we are, and everyone should find out for themselves who, what, and why they came to this experience, as each of us has a different set of goals and minute purposes beyond the general one of removing ignorance, and limitations.

When we see the movie as being a movie and stop identifying with the vehicle, the change in perception is instant. It’s like an “aha” moment. It doesn’t enlighten one right away, actually, it can take some time according to each individual, because the lower mind is like a separate entity in itself, trying to preserve its power over us by creating scenarios and parallel scripts besides the already intricate scenario of life itself, to deceive us when it feels like we are close to restoring our self-awareness.

One advice that I give myself and I gladly share with you my dear reader is: whenever you feel threatened, fearful or worried, try to remember that it’s an interactive movie that you came here to dive deep into and  master, and allow Love to fill you up to the brim, love for the movie, for yourself, and everything.

  Smile , breathe and relax and understand once and for all that although we are powerful beyond anything we can imagine, we came to explore and experience exactly this “rudimentary” state in which we find ourselves in at the moment. So try to enjoy it, and instead of becoming a casualty of “the movie”, just laugh and cry and flow with its script, but don’t forget who you are, and most importantly: remember what you are NOT! You are not Nissan, Mercedes neither Opel, as you are definitely not John neither Jane, these are all just vehicles. It’s recommended to take good care of your vehicle, as it is an important tool for us but not to identify ourselves with it.

And to reiterate my point once again I would like you to try to remember something that happened recently and that “shook your world” and try to see it now knowing that you are not a victim of life, but its very Creator. Know that You (with capital Y) are enjoying all these obstacles and trouble, as a cinephile enjoys a good movie, since a movie that is all good and monotonous in its “all goodness” will fail to attract interest, especially if it doesn’t have some ups and downs and twists and turns.

Now let’s see all the drama from our past with this newly acquired understanding, is it still scary? Still shaking our world? There’s no drama, right? It was just the limited perception we had about the world that deceived us. Trust me, even pain seems like it’s not that painful anymore. Don’t get me wrong, it is still felt, but the knowledge that we are watching a movie, if properly understood, will rewrite the script and our perception will expand and become more and more real until we recognize everything as being our creation, our own game that we chose to participate in for sport.

What’s the point?

Is there any reason to allow a multitude of thoughts to roam free in our awareness? Is it making any sense to lament something that happened in the past, or to wonder how things would have been if we had chosen a different approach?

Is there any reason to allow thoughts about future, when we were many times planning carefully things in our head yet when faced with that potential event we were planning in our thoughts, the whole plan and projection, everything might have taken a different turn, or the potential event failed to happen whatsoever.

Obviously on a thorough check, thoughts have no point. Whatever, whenever happened is already in the past, and it happened because it was the best choice and outcome that had to come to existence at that exact moment. Going to the past to extract the juice of it is a good thing to do, but the play of assumptions and projections of what could have been is useless and even more so, malignant.

So by realizing that, we realize the futility of feeling sorry for opportunities we didn’t take or apparent wrong turns that we made according to our feelings and influences we were under in that time.

“I should have done this and that”, “I should have said this or that” or “I shouldn’t have done it”, it’s as useless as crying for the spilled milk since undoubtedly it can’t be undone. But what I am trying to convey is even beyond that common understanding of the things stated above, more than that, I share my personal realization that everything is always perfect and every single element and event is exactly what needs to be there. And this can easily be observed after a period of time, looking back in retrospective. Everything is correct!

Imagine the free time and energy that we may save if the moment we observe ourselves being dragged by thoughts and feelings about the past, we just stop and realize that it couldn’t have been otherwise, and that it was the best choice and outcome at the time. Bam! we go back to the present moment.

It’s easy? yes and no. It’s easy when we are determined and when we managed to integrate this realization and it’s not easy if we are still dragged away by the unstoppable flow of thoughts that is continuously trying to divert and distract us from being in the present moment, creating a leakage of energy towards whatever the thoughts object is, be it past or future. Disregarding thoughts and knowing that everything is right; that’s when we preserve and enhance our energy and spiritual essence. That’s why every true spiritual master  has as a main recommendation towards those who they teach: staying in the now, being fully in the present moment, untouched by anything else, free from fantasy, and free from roaming in the past.

There’s a misconception about our human nature and that we are to dive deep into the illusion to the point of forgetting who we are and the purpose of the journey. We are here to dive deep indeed, but ideally, we should do it with awareness, mostly in the observer mode, transcending slowly even the observer into realizing the wholesomeness of the existence and that nothing is truly outside of us.

Falsely enlighten people or second graders

I remember first grade at school, shy, incredulous, hopeful, happy, fearful, and all these mixed feelings, and when I finished it, I was like: “Wow, you’re almost a second grader”, and I was somewhat proud of myself, not that it was complicated or something like that, but because we are taught to be hunting and looking for the next level at all time.

When school started again and we were in the schoolyard and we observed those little ones about to start their first grade, wow we felt good, like we weren’t anymore the youngest and the dumbest. I remember that feeling and I identify that same feeling in the great majority of the so-called gurus, healers, self-denominated star seeds, teachers  or who knows what other names they call themselves. Yes, I kid you not, the greatest majority haven’t even finished the second grade, but they feel as they touched the greatness, and that they’re the king of the world like Leonardo in Titanic.

Some people are so deep into their karmic crap, so deep into their academic and bookish knowledge that as soon as they perceive there might be a slight better vibe about themselves, they get infatuated with themselves, drunk with their newly discovered charisma and limited power that they managed to get, and they decide that to be the enlightenment or they’ve reached some sort of Magnus Opus of their existence.

By believing that, they have chosen illusion and self-gratification, they become the blind that leads the blind to the precipice, not knowing that they have barely scratched the surface of the iceberg and most likely they will try to squeeze some money out of that niche they discovered.

Why is that happening? You may ask. Because their motives are not genuine, their motives for starting the whole thing were desire for powers, luxury, money, partnership/pair, fame, and charisma and when they were given a glimpse of the “second grade”, they decided that they are great and now they can teach people how to get enlighten themselves, occupying a niche in the so-called spiritual market, getting a piece of the cheese, while rendering them (the people they “teach”) useless, astray and attached to their being, and projected outside of themselves, after giving away their material possessions, and energy, making them filthy rich while they, the students are becoming poor and disempowered. Could that be right?

So, this army of thieves  self-called masters couldn’t have reached more than the second grade of this eternal school of souls, because they lacked flexibility, patience, and humbleness! (please observe them and see for yourself), and they are never empowering their students, as it should be, like a good father giving the boy a rifle and teaching him how to hunt, but they give predigested “food” ideas of the past, or words from old scriptures that they themselves fail to assimilate on a deeper basis and some logical basic one. They give distant promises of “enlightenment” where they maintain their upper hand and control over their “students”. So they will create people who are dependent on their being and personality and they will create a power distance so that will falsely create more value about themselves.

Some are not only ignorant second graders but malignant beings that were long ago captured and possessed by their demons of greed, lust, and hunger for power and they have become, some knowingly, some unknowingly tools of the Matrix to keep people captured here.

But, everything comes our way by the Divine Mandate of the power of resonance, we attract what we are! If you stumbled on some of these second graders and you gave them your money and your power, retract your power and be happy you managed to see the illusion and the trickery, know that as a sign of life that whatever you had to experience or pay for, was paid, otherwise you will be still blind and veiled and you will be feeding that entity’s charisma with your energy and money.

Each one of the people who have a God complex or assume that are great and they’ve reached the pinnacle of their evolution are going to be revealed by life that they are not so, they are going to be shown that they are not what they claim or believe themselves to be, they are going to be deprived of part or the entirety of their powers so they can easily know that they are not true leaders, healers nor gurus, they will be forced to see their limitedness and ignorance. This is their biggest test, where they choose their belonging to which side, because until here, although wrong and misleading, they were more or less ignorant of that reality, but now if they see that they are just second graders and pretend themselves to be masters and doctors, this is when they have truly chosen the path of deceit that takes them further and further away from truth, and that which every soul is searching, which is coming back home, to the primordial Source where we all left wandering and uniting with That being one with All and all with One!

Some will compensate for the loss of power, or charisma through complicated and sick magical sacrifices and ceremonies that will just dig their hole deeper and deeper.

It’s a very common occurrence with young souls to fall into the traps of power, fame, lust, riches, and creating or being part of cults, from the simple fact that old souls probably already experienced several times in their past lives by being both fake teachers and healers and their students. So I am not trying to diminish anyone, let everyone have their own chosen experience, because every single individual soul is following their hidden and unique path back to the Source, whether they are aware of it or not. Like Thoth said:  (I am paraphrasing) “look at them all and see children in different stages of their growth, as you were once a child yourself”.

In reality there’s nothing to judge or be afraid of, because even the naughtiest of the children, is brought by life itself back to the path of maturity, and knowing now that the more we advance through schools and grades, there’s still infinity and an eternal inner and outer expansion ahead of us. This realization should keep us humble and continue our walking aware that there’s no true end on this path of evolution and no matter what grade we’ve passed and how learned we’ve become, on the immediate higher plane of experience all the knowledge we have has to be abandoned for being obsolete for that place, so one of the best things we can do is to unlearn everything, especially mainstream ideas or we can not empty our vessel to receive better information on the next level since you can’t build a good, strong house on the foundation of the old straw hut.

There are very few that are genuine and that are sharing their true spiritual effulgence with the world, but they are mostly unknown, because the true knowledge and spiritual power can’t be a thing recognized by masses of people. Meeting one of them is a confirmation of the Eternal Grace being present in our lives. So I am very grateful for those who I met throughout my life and helped me in any form or manner.

The arrogance of “knowing”

Have you ever observed a bunch of fish and other living creatures in a home aquarium? They’re mostly ignorant of what goes on outside of the glass walls that separate them from our world, or if they are to some degree aware, that amount is insufficient to grasp entirely the existence of something else outside of their existence.

I kid you not that compared to what truly happens in our proximity at any given point in time, we are more ignorant then the fish is about the world outside of their world. Even to compare our limitedness to the limitedness of a hedgehog in daylight would be a gross misrepresentation and understatement of the true extent of our ignorance.

In reality I feel that we are observed, watched, measured and studied, like we do while researching ants, fish or any other scientific observations of beings that are less aware than we are. And our observers might be themselves observed and studied by beings beyond their capacity to perceive.

The senses perceive in a very limited way our immediate proximity, and the mind takes all that information and creates a hodgepodge story about its interpretation and translation of the sensual perception. So the story, which we ignorantly call reality is an undoubtedly mystified and fantastic version of what the senses in their very limited capacity manage to register.

The mind creates the story based on learned things (also based on the unreal) , dogmas and other “truths” that our parents were force-fed themselves in their youth and automatically gets imposed onto us in our childhood. The mind also uses memory, which is again a non-factual representation of past events, but the interpretation which distorts even more our perception and idea of what is reality.

So to put it straight, our “reality” is as far from the true reality happening inside and outside of ourselves as the danger of the fire in a painting on the wall harming us.

Now to get to the point I wanted to make: I realize how silly it is to sustain and fight for whatever knowledge, no matter what that may be with others, because all of that will be one way or another untrue, far from the Truth and both factions are fighting for their “truth” yet they are both wrong no matter what they might say.

I am by nature very fiery in sustaining my own beliefs and creeds, but Alas, it’s so sad when I realize that no matter what I discover, find out, or say it is still insufficient and very far from the REAL, since the whole understanding of things came by using the same tools of creating fictitious worlds far from the true reality, namely the limited senses and limited mind. And because the REAL can’t be verbalized, but perceived in silence.

Transcending the limited senses and mind is advancing a step closer to the unfathomable truth that is impossible to utter and grasp with the old tools that I mentioned above, but can be perceived when we let go of all worries, thoughts and struggle to make sense of whatever we are exposed to. That perception is also called a gut feeling, or intuitive sense, which is the next step, the “sixth sense” on the eternal expansion of our conscious awareness and it overrides the limited judgemental mind and the senses if properly cultivated and heeded.

Therefore we should all learn to feel beyond the 5 senses, and beyond any logic in trying to make sense of something, and know that the senses are just rudimentary tools that can’t serve us anymore on this path of self-mastery, and the inner or gut feeling is to be exercised and worked with until the silencing of the mind with its phantasmagoric interpretation that makes it just another guardian in this prison that keeps us ensnared in a mental labyrinthic construct is put to rest.

To conclude: the ones who think they know, they’re ignorants! and I am one of those because I keep on going back to the old self that fights others for ideas that are always left behind in obsolescence when we grow in awareness. So how stupid is it to fight for an idea and concept that next year will become redundant as the beliefs of children about the existence of a monster under their bed when they are grown-ups?

But I should also reiterate the fact that I observed and emphasized in previous writings that everything is true in its particular moment and to the person to which that is suitable, which in itself may seem to be contradicting the previous statements in the article avove. But if properly perceived it reminds us that everyone has its own “truths” which we might have outgrown and our truths at the moment will have to be abandoned to make place to the next level of truth that we are prepared and ready to embody, until those too are to be transcended and replaced with the higher understanding to which our humbleness and openness qualified us for. So what is there to “know”, when everything is eventually swallowed by obsolescence?

So the only thing I can affirm that I know, and not be wrong about, is that I don’t know!

Another perspective on Suffering

Every single person in this existence is one way or another suffering, that is an indisputable affirmation.

Suffering is changing places în a Divine directed sequence in our lives with periods of joy and carelessness. One of the most unknown reasons for suffering, among other more obvious ones that I am not going to address in this article, is that it serves as a reminder of the blessings that we are taking for granted, that we forgot to be grateful for their presence in our lives, so the ungrateful gets a glimpse of how life is without those things that he/she must have taken for granted.

Let’s not go too far into complicated examples, but I will give you an example through a recent realization of mine while trying to sleep, recovering from a heavy cold: I was struggling with my blocked nose and sinuses for days, and to have the nose blocked is so frustrating and annoying.

As soon as I got both nostrils unobstructed I felt relieved, joyful, and grateful, and I realized how many apparently small things we are taking for granted, yet as soon as any of them are temporarily or permanently removed we start lamenting, we realize their true value and place in our lives and we realize what an ungrateful beings the humans are.

It’s so sad, because in nature such issues do not occur, but since we disconnected ourselves from it, by forgetting the fact that we are part of it, we developed atrocious features that not even predators in the animal kingdom display.

If an animal is saved or taken care of by a human, that animal will most likely be forever grateful to that human that shows them compassion. But humans become used to being helped and gratitude is less and less part of their approach to help regardless of what kind. I have noticed especially that the new generation, in their majority, is devoid of this precious feature.

So, from my own experience I can testify that as soon as we start taking things for granted, life will put its gears into movement towards the removal of that blessing that we disregard. It may take a while, or at times it can be quite fast, especially if it is a typical approach of ours.

This is the amazing teaching of life saying “Appreciate what you are having, or you are going to have it taken away”. And it works like that for people who believe that they can continuously trash their own bodies with bad food, alcohol and other ways of taking their body for granted.

Others maybe forgot to tell their partners how much they mean to them, how much they love and appreciate them. Oh, boy! It does miracles, it brings the light into the face of the other! Whisper it in their ear when they least expect it. Try it, especially if you haven’t done it in a while, you will feel that love reigniting, because whatever we put out there, definitely comes back to us. And it’s all because we’ve remembered to throw some wood over a smoldering, almost dying fire.

The secret is that nothing gets really taken away, but by not investing our energy into it, the connection with that thing is gradually diminished and damaged. So invest energy in Love, in taking good care of yourself and your dwelling place, reminding people in your life of how much you appreciate them, play with your kids and pets and leave the phone aside, and it’s not that suffering may disappear, since it alternates with good times like the ebbing and flowing of the ocean. in this paradigm we’re experiencung, but you will easily go over those periods of discomfort and most important of all, you will know that you did all that was in your capacity.

Sometimes even if we give our 100%, there’s no guarantee for success since it’s not in our power to control outcomes, but undoubtedly if we do our best diligently, we will definitely succeed more often than if we are not fully involved.

Ideally, we should remember at least once a week to count our blessings, to be grateful for the people, objects, and everything that we are being given, and to remind ourselves how lucky and blessed we are, and that’s the way to attract more blessings, instead of seeing what we are lacking and inevitably attracting more lack.

Flip the tables

There are moments, nowadays probably more often than in the past when we feel burdened, exhausted, cornered and in despair. I am sure that everyone can relate to this. In those moments if we manage to remember the title of this article, and try to relax and see what we tend to ignore, which is almost an impossible task for us to do under so much pressure, then we are breaking the system, that very system that is designed to keep us in ignorance and stressed out.

Let’s take an example: we missed a plane, which implies material loss, time loss, maybe missing a scheduled meeting, missing another opportunity.. Etc

Our first bodily reaction is panic and despair, followed by a multitude of thoughts and ideas, all abundantly bathed in cortisol and adrenaline which, in case you don’t know render us very dumb, because it puts us into the fight mode, so our capacity to see things clearly is greatly diminished. By allowing thoughts to create permutations and projections of different outcomes we dive deeper into that stressful mode we’re in, like one person being desperate for finding themselves in a hole, yet continuously digging and by continuing to do that, diminishing their chance to be able to exit that hole they created in the first place. Remember: if you are in a hole, stop digging.

How do we flip the tables? There are many choices. One will be to do exactly the opposite of what we used to do. Instead of lamenting, we accept the event fully and we can even try being grateful to life, for orchestrating such an unexpected and amazing event, which always carries with it a huge lesson that will be undoubtedly missed if we were to approach the situation in the old way we used to do.

Another way is to see the whole situation in a very pragmatic and precise mathematical manner: can I do something about it? If the answer is yes, you just do it. If the answer is no, relax, accept, and breathe calmly, and even if you don’t feel like it, fix a wide smile on your face. If we are surrounded by clouds or darkness and we feel like our entire fleet of boats has been sunk, find the power to laugh, and laugh out loud and immediately a shift of vibration will happen. The whole darkness in which we were about to drown will be dispelled.

I am talking from sheer experience and I have noticed that we can grow more and more immune to events that used to shake us. Like this, we manage to learn our lessons, and we evolve out of the limitations. Whatever event in our lives has a double potential: a destructive one and a transcending element. By flipping the tables you grow out of, and transcend that negative potential.

When something happens in your life, remember to pause, breathe calmly, banish thoughts, and see how you can flip the tables, how you can react and act differently than until now, try to look for “the juice” of the whole situation and extract it. You will step on the not-so-crowded road of self-mastery, or becoming the master of your life instead of a victim of it.

Good luck to you all!

Be Love

My dear, hang in there! The journey towards fulfilment of our love is bumpy, and because such a love will simply burn by its powerful radiation every darkness and impurity, that old, stale and dark will not want to go without putting up a fight. 

Buckle up, my love; it may look like a tough one, yet if our decision is made, there’s nothing that can be done to break us apart. Trust, stay with that decision of being together no matter what, and we’re transforming this apparent tough battle into a walk in the park. 

What they can do is use our weaknesses, they can temporarily enhance fears, they can make things appear darker than they truly are, they can use all our flaws, temporarily enhancing them, so that we would self-sabotage our relationship. 

They don’t have any power unless we’re investing them with our power. At points, they can make it look like I am the worst, that I am low, or I don’t love you, or that I betrayed you. Just breathe and let time reveal everything. Don’t jump into drawing conclusions, rather give me a chance to dispel the cloud that veils. Let the magic mist vanish by itself because, without our involvement, its power is inexistent. 

The power of evil is to use our unresolved traumas and soft spots and play us with mirrors and veils, but if we don’t play this game, if we don’t feed those dark thoughts if we don’t fall for tricks, we abstain from saying unnecessary words that hurt and we abstain from rushing to react,… Their power is 0. 
Remember evil has as much power over you as you give it, if you don’t give any power, it will fail to derail you. You are powerful beyond anything you can imagine at this point in time. For now, just trust me, and let us slowly allow ourselves to wake up to that innate magnanimity of our Oneness if our love is fulfilled.

Have patience. Whatever things may look like, before you even enquire about them, make sure you have your heart filled with love, then breathe in and out; relax and take enough time to rest. Their trick is to create a snowballing effect: thought – emotion – action. Stand still and let the storm pass first. Time is the enemy of darkness, as light is slowly swallowing the dark and occult, and time is the ally of the patient. 

If enough time is allowed to pass without allowing the snowball to roll down the hill, the snowball will vanish. 

Sometimes I feel like running too, I know such a love has a huge responsibility and has an effect of stirring all the crap left unresolved, such a love is the ultimate catalyst for the transmutation of the old and dark into pure Love, light and Divine Fire. But all the old and the unnecessary has to be abandoned and that’s our task.

Don’t hate the opposing force! It’s just a program, acting by Divine mandate, that tests the weak and lazy ones and sends them back to school to learn the missing lessons. Rather use everything to your own advantage. Like water, like fire. They’re neutral, yet they can be used to kill or to save, it’s always a matter of choice. Make sure that your choice is virtuous and comes from love, and no harm can touch you. We should always flip the tables and see how we can apply more virtue, and how we can fight our lower nature, rather than finding external elements, or entities to blame for the situation. This is the approach of the wise.

Now, come to me. I know we are ready to face ourselves and face the storm that purifies us. Look at the marks in the sand, I am always walking beside you. You see your footprints and mine, side by side. When the storm comes, there’s only one pair of footprints, yes! But worry not, you’re not alone, I haven’t left you. Those footprints are mine and I am carrying you in my arms. 

Come home, my dear. We are ready. We are One.

Let this be inspiration for beings of Light having a human experience, in their search, maintaining, nurturing and fulfillment of Divine Love with their Divine counterparts.

Perfectionism

Perfectionism is a huge obstacle in life to happiness because it makes one forget about how everything is perfect in its apparent imperfection,… It makes one unsatisfied with everything, continuously looking for happiness somewhere in the future, trying to fix things, forgetting about the beauty of the present moment.

Perfectionism is also a feature that can be a big obstacle in a relationship, because people are by default flawed and prone to make mistakes, so a perfectionist will start becoming more and more dissatisfied with the “mistakes” of the other, unaware of their flaws that might be easily ignored by the other, if the other is not also a perfectionist.

So ideally, we should take things easier, see the beauty of everything even with its tiny flaws and be grateful for what is, rather than always hoping continuously for something in the future that will be better… Take rather each moment of now and realize how blessed you are, and how many treasures you have that probably most of the people on the planet can’t even dream about having.

Perfectionism is a desire to control, is impossibility to accept things as they are, a feature that is mandatory for realizing how blessed and lucky we are. Perfectionists might end up pushing people and blessings away, because of their lack of appreciation and gratitude.

Perfectionism comes from lack of proper appreciation from parents, teachers and lovers in an early age, the perfectionist feels always “not enough” and projects the same feeling onto people, things and events, unaware of the risk of creating and attracting people, things and events that will continuously feed this distortion, because life tries to show that everything is perfect in its apparent imperfect state, and we should rather let go of the hope of something else, but accept what is already given, exactly as it is.

We are always enough, rest. Accept. Be!

You are perfect! Unique!

The powerful energy of love

Have you ever noticed a man, in your circle of friends, acquaintances or co-workers, even a stranger that shines, that has a charm, a charisma that you can’t pinpoint, regardless if he’s just a normal-looking guy, a handsome man or even a not so good looking one, and there’s no real explanation to why is he so bright, so charismatic, so great?

Well, it’s because a good woman loves him. It’s because he’s being showered by her gentle, sweet and very powerful energy of love. It’s because her heart is open to him. So now we can remember the saying that behind any powerful man, there’s a powerful or an even more powerful woman. It is a divine law. Women and men are supposed to be balancing each other, complementing and completing themselves as Yin complements and completes Yang.

Many times it happens to men in their youth since they are young, and relatively pure, untarnished by the world that much (although that spoiling happens already in younger and younger ages). But they get with a girl/woman that starts to love them. That’s when their charisma starts expanding, and they notice that women are seeing them, and it’s so empowering and making their self-esteem reach the roof.

The risk is also that they’ll fall prey to that feeling of being so good, so great, unknowingly of the true source of their power. That’s when they start considering other women, believing that grass might be greener on the other side. It’s a test of life, that always balances every single imbalance. So their love is tested, and unfortunately, it’s so hard to fight that feeling that you are the belly button of the world. After indulging in their success the time of fall comes, because they have so many dissonant energies, due to misusing the pure love mixing it with fleeting infatuations with other women.

So the loving woman will feel it and even without her knowing she will start feeling unhappy, unfulfilled, and unloved even if the external actions of the guy didn’t quite change. So this is the beginning of the end, from here everything is like an avalanche, everything is snowballing into the eventual disaster even if it may still last for a while.

The best advice I have for all the men out there that have someone who loves them, is to close the door to your mind, heart and body for any other woman in that intimate way. Dedicate yourself full-heartedly, serve her and love her with all your being, and you will be rewarded heftily by life, and by her. But be rather selfless, don’t do it for the rewards, since you can’t trick consciousness. Know that you are her protector, nourisher, the peace creator and love provider in her life, the one that she relies on.

A man who has developed and integrated a very strong and healthy feminine aspect besides the masculine side is gifted with the same power of making his woman shine too, heal and be charismatic as in the case of a woman loving her man. This is rather rare in this day and age when men are players and hunters. Women have learned to develop this same unhealthy masculine aspect in themselves, hunting and playing for the sake of instant gratification.

Unfortunately, these abusers will be hit by the balancing force of life itself and they will need to face the repercussions of their actions, to understand the value of true, genuine, and unconditional love to their counterparts. But nothing is forever and they will be given chances over and over to finally break through their limitations and bad decisions.

Coming back to the adult which is shining because of his woman, if he transcends his lower nature and tendencies, he will have a chance to a higher level of vibration which is intensely changing, uplifting and healing on all possible levels. He should close himself to seeing anything other than his beloved, as seeing himself in a black-and-white movie that fails anymore to capture his interest, if he knows what’s good for him and together they will prosper and advance in a harmonious, sacred type of relationship where each serves the other selflessly, hence their needs are automatically fulfilled, and grace of the Ultimate is within that couple, protecting them and multiplying their blessings, a testimony and an example of how people should behave with their counterparts.

So many players, occultists and other men who are aware of this secret are taking advantage and trying to capture the power of the loving woman, but they are the most ignorant and prone to failure, if they believe that they can trick life and get away with it. The more they misuse the woman and their power, the harder and more unbearable their pain will be. Therefore my advice would be: take whatever is yours, cherish it and be grateful for it with all your being, and life will always take care of you as a loving mother caring and nourishing their babies. You won’t be able to sustain what is not yours, even if you achieve it, it will be through huge struggles and trouble and it will be shortlived.

Love the woman you chose and be always grateful to the Highest for meeting her, and to her for choosing you. Make her happy and your life will be flowing harmoniously. Love her with honesty, love her with dedication, love her with all your being and no matter how much opposition you’ll encounter in life, she’ll be behind you, supporting you with her wonderful energy, as you protect her and nourish her in the material, spiritual, mental and emotional aspects.

But to be honest, I believe that finding that partner that is ready to dedicate to you and you to them is a rather very rare occurrence and whoever had a chance to experience this rare type of union should make sure that they are feeding every single day that beautiful flame of genuine love with actions and words, like an oil being poured every day that will feed the lamp of their love, because as soon as they cool off, and get lazy in their dedication love will diminish in intensity and most likely fade away.

Prayer to Oneself

May the flowers of wisdom, clarity and purity blossom inside of my being, their vines uproot the weeds of thoughts, desires and ignorance. May the uprooted weeds dry out by cessation of nourishing of those weeds which I mistakenly took for flowers for so long.

May peace, courage, silence and patience bloom instead of the weeds. May love fill all the remaining empty spaces with its fragrance and may it spread inside and outside in an eternal expansion.

May my reactions towards external stimuli be similar to the reaction of a giant rock on the bottom of the ocean to the movement of the surface waves. May the fire of my desires be as powerless as the painted fire in a drawing. May the storm and stir of the emotions manage to move me as the Himalayas are moved by a gust of raging wind.

May my inner peace never leave me again, now that I see the world and everything in it for what it is: An idea in the Mind of the Eternal, the All, a play of mirrors and imagination of That, a movie that is so well directed and played that absorbs the viewer into believing that is a character in that great production of The Consciousness.

When I pull myself back for a while, I remember to go back to watching the movie with the least interfering with or wanting to impose anymore my willpower onto it.

So be it!

Solve your puzzle

The evolution of the soul in experiencing the human body is to be understood as solving a spiritual jigsaw. With a normal puzzle after you’ve done it: “it was easy!”, but looks hard, and sometimes close to impossible before we start or at the very beginning.

The Universe hid hints and pieces in all the places, therefore is rather silly to be stuck in just one tradition/religion or perspective since none of them are capable of providing the ultimate enlightening truth. The one who is open to humbly learn and listen from whichever mouth, from whatever scripture, books and even songs and movies, that one is ready to start the journey of putting all the pieces together, to unify the dots to understand the hidden meaning of their visit of this earthly realm in a human body.

Listen to nature, inquire about it all, and look at the creation, It speaks to us continuously, it teaches us to gather all these bits and pieces and to put them together if we want to enlarge our perspective and start seeing things clearer, and wisdom will dawn on us. The further we go the weirder and unthinkable the places where the rest of the pieces are hidden, therefore don’t discard or neglect any place, and don’t leave any stone unturned because you might miss one part that may render the continuation of the jigsaw impossible, and the image will remain distorted and incomplete.

If we remain stuck in one tradition, we will remain ignorant about the pieces of wisdom that other traditions possess. Hence, enlarge your scope and dare to find out more from different sources, places and people. I have discovered that many scriptures from different religions and traditions are converging about the impossibility of a seeker to transcend the limitations by remaining in his natal country. This proves my point that if we remain in the limited box, our evolution will remain limited to that very box, therefore we will fail to grow beyond it.

It coincided with my observation about myself and the leap in my understanding and perception of things by travelling a lot and allowing myself to be exposed to different cultures, places, people and different spiritual beliefs. That doesn’t mean that we will have to embrace or adopt all the religions or agree to each of the theories that we may come across, although we will also learn through trial and error. But armed with patience, discernment and determination, the true pathless path will unfold before our very eyes. And each spiritual belief might have a tiny little bit of wisdom that other traditions might disregard.

From each culture and tradition, you can learn how to improve certain things, how to prioritize and practically and even pragmatically separate the useful from the unnecessary, and the information that speaks to your heart from the one that doesn’t resonate within you. That doesn’t make any of that less or more true than something else. It’s just whatever speaks to your soul, might not be speaking to the soul of someone else. We all have different paths and ways, and we can observe the beauty of it because it would be boring and silly to believe that an Eternal All-powerful Being will make all souls react to the same stimuli and they all would be healed by the same “ultimate panacea”.

“All the paths lead to Rome”, as such all the paths eventually take us back to the Source, some are longer and straight, some are steeper, and some are shorter but very bumpy. There are no identical paths. Therefore believing that our way should be good or equally true for others is but ignorance and spiritual immaturity.

Gather diligently all the bits and pieces and start putting them together, knowing that the truth is not to be found in one single place, but it’s a puzzle with innumerable pieces. Be like a child, absorbing all knowledge, and be mature like an old sage, by removing whatever doesn’t serve your purpose. Respect whatever you removed, without contempt for those who treasure whatever you threw for unnecessary since you ought to remember that all the paths are different and there is no mistake in the Creation.

The more we advance in the solving of this huge spiritual puzzle the humbler we become by acknowledging it’s almost impossible to grasp its vastness and the fact that it expands continuously, probably eternally to subtler and subtler levels of knowledge and vibration until we are back Home, back to the Source that even without knowing we are all searching for.

Be like the sun

Have you noticed how the sun is shining over good plants and weeds alike without discrimination? It is illuminating, nourishing and bathing everything under it in its Grace, showering the living and the inert, the good and the bad alike, like an all-loving father.

As such, the wise man is silently and stealthily infusing everything in his/her surroundings with the Light of the Being, blessing without intention everything that is in his proximity. His wisdom is making him silent, he no longer wants to show, to let people know that he is the one who is vibrating that energy that shakes the shackles of their ignorance, that wakes the dormant essence of the All that we are all together inherently sharing.

He once wanted to let everyone know that he is the reason for their healing, for their raising, but Alas, he has somewhat understood the wisdom of the Sun, who doesn’t brag, doesn’t ask for acknowledgement neither gratitude. He became self-sufficient, an anomaly of some sort, that no one but those who walked the same path of remembering may recognize.

Even himself can’t truly perceive his extraordinary achievement, therefore he is still searching for the glasses that are already sitting on his nose in front of his eyes already, or freneticaly looking for the phone that he is already talking at.

He is still in disbelief himself, expecting something otherworldly that will announce his achievement, but slowly notices how his freedom of expression and of mind are expanding, making him feel lonely somewhat even in the midst of the crowd. Then he observes the leap that he has taken. He never asked to evolve “out of the crowd”, but “out of the crowd” it’s the price of exiting the matrix, is one of the outcomes of the search for wisdom. Even if still in it, you can’t unsee it anymore. And since you see it’s fallacy, those remaining deeply within it will feel your weirdness and try to tag you as well as they can, obviously projecting their own ignorance onto whatever they fail to understand.

Do you think that the sun tries to acquire something? Does it have a desire to fulfill? He accepted its innate purpose of silently and gracefully blessing the entire existence with its warmth and light. But can you imagine how much more selfless and loving, the one that illuminates the sun itself, the one that sustains it all in Its immense love and patience, not judging, not separating, giving its creation a chance to remember that they are One, and One is All?

The sun is selflessly serving the Light and its Creator, he never fails to do its duty, he never calls in sick. Even when the clouds are hiding it, he’s still out there, above the clouds ready to let its love overflow.

What a great example for us the seekers of the Self. An example of patience, unconditional love, and perseverance, an example of how to shine silently, spreading the vibe of change, the unconditional love that we are made of, learning to give, to nourish and to shine.

Remember

There is no death, there is no birth
There is no gain and neither loss
There is no low and neither high
We’re rather One with everything and All
Is there some reason to want something
When all is yours and you are All?
Is there a place you need to reach,
When there’s no space and neither time?
You think that you are that,
The little one appearing in the mirror?
Or you’re eternal and unlimited?
But squeezed yourself inside that form,
For You to know what’s to be small
For You to see how One can become many,
then hoping to tread back the apparent long way home
Wake up from that too, because I kid you not
The home that you are longing for,
You never left at any point.

Embrace difficulty

When you’re desperately running, looking for comfort and good things, you might be attracting the exact opposite, since the desire to find those things and experiences comes from feeling lack. But if you purposely expose yourself to things, people, and elements out of your normal comfort zone, then you are attracting growth and evolution and it will also eventually bring rewards and other pleasant things, people, and experiences.

Today I started the shower with cold water, although I would usually only end it up with cold water after hot. It was a great wake-up, it was at first shocking, but then I embraced the discomfort, and suddenly the discomfort vanished and surprisingly, the whole experience felt nice. By extrapolation, I will start embracing things that I normally try to avoid for the sake of feeling at ease and being comfy. I already feel that this is a whole new level, a total shift to a better version of myself.

The special forces troops are having very hard training that not many can cope with. They’re preparing themselves for that moment when they’re going to be in real action, they will feel prepared like the whole thing is not hard at all, it would feel like a walk in the park, they’ll be comfortable where normal people would probably give up or feel very stressed.

So I believe that all this technology, all the comfort and attachment, and craving for it in reality created wimps out of us:

“Oh, I am so hungry, I am cold, I am hot, my bus is late, my plane is canceled..” This is life, get used to it, but more than getting used to it, if you want to flip the tables and thrive, start accepting, embracing and even looking for challenges, and uncomfortable things, things that will push us out of the confort zone, that will only push you to expand, grow, and be ready for whatever life wants to throw on you Exactly like the well-trained special force soldier embracing challenges and stepping out of the self-imposed limiting box.

The more we accept life as it comes, without wishing that everything would be easy and comfortable, the wiser we become, knowing that there can’t be peace without war, light without darkness, or male without female. Once we understand and open up for challenges, the rewards and the comforts will appear on their own accord.

So through balancing the innate desire to experience only one side of the coin, with the realization that it will always have both sides, and once we don’t reject the unwanted side, life will become wholesome and will fail to put us down, to bring us at the edge. After all the world is full of people who dream of being of light but think that they can ignore their own inner darkness. And let’s be clear: Yin and Yang is the representation of the balance between the two polarities and equilibrium towards the entire existence, and not some white circle or a black one. So by embracing both polarities within we get better and better at accepting the same outside of us.

You are already Everything

I stumbled yesterday on a story about some well-known singer and how she’s unhappy that she traded her soul for wealth and fame and how she felt tricked, this is not an isolated case in showbiz and everything that involves money, power, and fame, but rather a common occurrence.

This is an unfair exchange, unfair because the soul is unique, eternal, and a part of the Eternal Everything, and it’s silly to change it for something fleeting. So the danger of the proposal of this bad deal comes when we are in a low vibration, lacking, needy, depressed, and desperate,.. So that’s the moment of weakness that will be stimulated and taken advantage of by those who collect weak souls.

Sometimes people sell their unborn or born children and promise even nephews and who knows how many generations for the sake of some ephemeral, fleeting fulfillment of a whim or desire. Sometimes they exchange their souls for getting someone, for fame, recognition, money, and whatnot.

It’s unfortunate that whoever chooses this path is totally unaware that whatever is offered does not last long, since there’s the opposing force that counters any imbalance by tilting back the scale towards balance, and in order to preserve the fleeting, and unnatural belongings, one is drawn more and more on a slippery slope of occult rituals and sacrifices and becoming portals to different entities of a lower vibration. So it’s like the saying: “When you entered the ring, you have to dance”, and they can’t undo or withdraw themselves from it.

There are so many stories about actors, singers, politicians, and other famous people who went into drugs, alcohol, and suicide, and this is all because they realized that they were tricked and thought that there was no way out. But this is the last trick of the entity collecting the souls, to capture the soul. They push the person towards suicide, so the guilt and shame will be over the board, and they would grab and use that lost soul.

In reality, I believe that one can always repent, undo what can be undone, accept whatever can’t be undone, and shift gears, starting the pendulum movement back to the opposite direction, becoming a tool of light rather than one of darkness, creating the path towards redemption for their own souls.

Many succumb to the sorrow because they believe that there’s no way back. Oh, yes there is always. Even if it’s hard, and maybe we have some debts to pay, the road is there for us to walk on. The hand of our spirit guides is always extended for us to accept the offer of help.

So for all of you out there who haven’t sold your souls or something as dramatic as that, you should realize that there’s nothing that you did or said that can’t be undone, that is unforgivable, if even for those that went a long way down the downward path to perdition, there’s a possibility of redemption and we can always change the direction.

So, one important thing we should always keep active in our consciousness is that everything is exactly how it should be, everything is to be balanced by life and the Universe, and there’s a continuous ebbing and flowing of everything, a downward path followed by the upward one towards the Light which we all experience or have experienced regardless of life circumstances.

Therefore, there’s nothing to sell or trade for something else, if we understand that we experience the world’s perfection in its apparent imperfection and that we agreed to have all these nourishing experiences for our souls to grow wiser and more experienced.

If we are alone at the moment, it means that there are lessons that are to be learned in this particular situation. When they are experienced and learned, we won’t be alone anymore.

Sometimes something is with us until we accept and transcend it, and then it vanishes. We might be alone as long as we are craving to be with someone. But when we have accepted the situation, all of a sudden someone might appear. We might experience pain until we accept it and stop trying to run away from it. And so on.

Maybe you had fame and riches previous lifetime and now is the time to experience insignificance, to see both facets of the same coin. Sometimes we have both in the same lifetime: we are born poor and we get rich and so on. So why would we deprive ourselves of something that will bring us to wholesomeness? When we experience something in this existence, its opposite is equally present and embedded in that. Let’s take love as an example:

Love comes together with loss loneliness and abandonment. And it’s not a fatalistic way to see things, but a reality of the actual paradigm that we chose to explore. Even in the best and the most beautiful of relationships loss is inevitable, be it by death, abandonment, betrayal.. or growing out of the situation, it will certainly end one day, one way or another. It goes like that with everything.

But remember it’s an eternal movement of alternation of the polarities that once you accept and realize that it’s in the very mechanics of the world, you won’t be caught off-guard, and you will observe this ebbing and flowing of it all with yourself established within, with contentment and an eternal smile fixed on your face, knowing, like the story of the wise king, which found out that everything is coming to existence and then passing, and everything is eternally changing into something else.

So, to conclude, how can we try to hold on to something when the mechanics are made such that everything gets balanced, everything is like a perennial pendulum swing?

And to come back to the famous singer who was sorry for selling her soul when she realized that she shouldn’t have just signed the dotted line before fully knowing the contract. How can we be tricked into the promise of eternal fame and abundance if we are aware of the divine law that brings things into balance continuously? How can we think that we can have something that’s not ours to have without repercussions? Life is like an eternal pendulum that can’t be fixed or stopped at any of its extremes, but in the 0 point between the extremes, so once again I reiterate that the 0 point should be our target since going into extreme will make the pendulum violently swing to the other side.

Accept your life setting and circumstances, while diligently trying to improve your situation, acquiring wisdom and clarity, and at the same time acknowledging that the outcomes of our actions are not in our power to control. So let’s surrender and listen to life, because by denying us over and over something, life shows us, like a loving mother that it will not give us something that is not good for us to have.

I learned to listen to life and its guidance to some degree and I am continuously trying to improve this communication and understanding, by listening and paying attention to the signs and hints. As an example: If I want to avoid something, I will try to avoid it… But if life pushes that thing/person further I will oppose one more time without much power, to see if that experience is pushed by life/ higher self for me to have it. Then if it still comes I embrace it and see what’s there to learn. Sometimes it’s some lesson, sometimes it’s some reward, like spending some good time as a resting moment on the path… I learned to accept them both as part of the pendulum swing of the alternation of polarities in this experience we call life.

So, remember You are already Everything and All, you have all the experience and wisdom and you are here to see how it is to be an angel and demon and establish yourself beyond any polarity into wholesomeness, into Oneness.

Let’s start with the basics

Theoretically the end goal should be coming back home, uniting once again with the Source.

I know that this information will click with many of us, at least on a mental/theoretical level. The trick is that unless we’ve done the “dirty work” , this information is kind of useless. And here’s my take on the matter:

We always dream about some distant goal, enlightenment, becoming once again knowledgeable, self-realization etc.. But we are trying to skip some steps, looking for shortcuts in the process and we just can’t foul ourselves (the higher Self). The steps we all dream about avoiding are: taking care of all the things in the material mental and spiritual world in a proper sequence. And I really mean every single (apparently unimportant) thing.

I am a bit an adept of rough and visual examples to make my point, so I would compare this avoiding thing with dressing ourselves in very elegant clothes and wearing expensive and divinely scented perfumes without ever taking a shower.

Yes, guilty! Again me and my examples 😁. But I am sure you got the point. And I have noticed that we have to start with the very minute things that we usually assume we can ignore and postpone, like doing dishes, mantaing ourselves, houses and surroundings clean and tidy, like having proper nourishment and rest, taking care of every aspects of our lives.

And these are undoubtedly things that are so boring and repetitive that we might get fed-up with and consider not that important as “higher” things as meditating, chanting mantras or any other type of saddhana, working your shadow and past traumas out and so on. Remember again the example of wearing great clothes and perfume without taking a shower.

The trick is that it will fail to bring results, no matter how dedicated and perseverent we might be on the “higher” levels. It will be the same like wanting our car to work smoothly and do its job, without us taking care of all of the needful, like oil, gasoline, cooling liquid, brake fluid etc. So we all know that if we miss even just one of those, the car will eventually fail to take us where we need to go and it’s all because neglecting to take care of all the aspects that needed to be taken care of.

The body, house, clothes and whatever we have, are tools in our existence and we can’t neglect them and believe that some are unimportant, or less important than others, or the entire machinery will malfunction.

So I believe that this is why the majority fail, because believing we can neglect something in favor of something else. And I am talking from experience.

Tidying our house is not only having an esthetic role, but a hidden and more profound one, in allowing the energies to flow smoothly, in not allowing clutter to accumulate, because that’s promoting stagnation on an energetic and material level. Also lower level entities are living in lower level vibration. By mantaing things properly washed, functioning and tidy, we are creating an unwelcoming environment for beings and entities that enjoy a rather lower resonance.

It’s probably obvious that if the body is malnourished, not rested that we won’t have its full assistance on our path, therefore every single detail has to be taken into consideration. And the same analogy applies to the body as to the house: we are hosts of so many entities from physical to an energetic level, like bacteria, fungi, viruses and other entities either parasitic or symbiotic. The better we take care of the body in a proper and diligent manner, the more we create a welcoming environment for symbiotic beings and entities, and obviously if we neglect, misuse and forget anything, we lower the body efficiency and defense and implicitly create an environment promoting the pathogenic and lower vibration elements and entities.

Cooking for oneself with love and using quality ingredients and utensils is also a good way to enhance the quality of our self-care. We should use beautiful cutlery and dishes, maybe even silver cutlery, or at least stainless steel, crystal glasses and china cups and plates, with natural and pleasant colors. Let’s make everything that we offer ourselves an offer to the All, the Universe, the Absolute, because there can be no love for That which we don’t know and can’t see, without love, care and respect for what we see in the mirror every day. We should treat ourselves and our surroundings with outmost respect and care, and they wouldn’t fail to serve us well.

So to conclude: before dreaming about the sky, we should first become masters of the lower realms, starting with the grosser and advancing to the subtler, otherwise the “doors to the sky” will fail to open. There are many so called spiritual people that live in a mess yet hope that one day the gates of the sky will open. But the wise ones know that they’re the ones to climb the stairs, walk the path, put the key in the keyhole, turn it and that will open the doors, any other way or forgetting a sequence will fail to bring the desired result.

So let us all remember the “lower” and “mundane”, and pamper ourselves today starting with making our beds as soon as we wake up, than continuing with a good shower, opening the windows to invite good and new air in the house, cook some good food, imbued with love, and use our best utensils for eating it, and tidying up the house, and I guarantee you that even by taking care of such minute and easy tasks, already we will be able to feel the wind of improvement, a state of betterment and good feeling, letting us know that we are on the right path. Now extrapolate these easy notions to everything you do. Then continue to apply this recipe for success, looking for more things and places to add value and improve from low to high and from material to subtler and spiritual levels.

It feels so lonely

The thing that truly changes when we evolve is our perception, as I said in one of my previous articles. By having a wider perspective, we invite the possibility to expand it more and more, by embodying the new version of ourselves. But Alas, the more we climb the steep path of getting to know ourselves and the world, the lonelier it gets.

Although external observers might not see the situation as such, and although we might have daily interaction with a diverse crowd, there are less and less people to relate to, less like-minded ones to acompany us on the path, or to understand what we’re going through.

I realize that it is like the path of the hermit from the tarot cards. A path of exile and loneliness in the midst of the noisy and busy world, that’s also probably the reason why mystics of the past were retreating in caves and jungles.

It’s like a marathon. So many are starting in the same time, yet few of them finish it, or even if they do finish at some point, their path will not intersect anymore with those on the first to finish, and much less of those that will continue to the next level, like in the case of people who are continuously expanding their view and perception, which is not an achievement, since it’s just the start of a lengthy (some say infinite) process of finding out and building who we are.

It’s not “just people” that one misses, since old friends might still be near. It’s someone that understands and walks on a similar path and shares similar views that we truly wish to encounter. And sadly, the more we dive into our beings and the more we incorporate spiritual realizations, the lonelier the path becomes.

At points we are tempted to project certain expectations and qualities onto people just for the sake of feeling emotionally and spiritually fulfilled, but the illusion doesn’t last long,.. A cold shower will come sooner or later, and the entire projecting and hoping will be turned to nothing, and we will be able to see everyone’s true colors the more we interact with them. And more often they will run away, instead of us pushing them away, although part of the journey is definitely growing to the point of establishing proper boundaries and cutting people out of our lives too.

I am not trying to portray myself or others that walk this lonely path as elite of any sort. On the contrary, the wider the perception, the wiser the seeker, the smaller one feels compared to the newly discovered vastness of life. Ideally one should be trying to stay away from superiority and inferiority alike, since they’re both traps, as Jivanmukti also writes about the numerous and hidden traps on the path, in her book: Siddha Param-Para – a true spiritual gem for whoever is serious about the path of self refining, a book that can change one if the time is right, and can ignite that dormant seed of That within ourselves, a book that definitely initiates the path within.

Back to feeling lonely, sometimes it feels overwhelming and sad, luckily there’s enough acceptance and courage to acknowledge and be ok with the fact that is a lonely path, and in the same time knowing and feeling that we are watched, guided and supported from higher realms of existence We can definitely feel the invisible Grace, blessings and protection at work in our experience of life. But at points we would go a long way to have someone to share the same level of understanding and path.

There are very few who “run” ahead (back to the comparison to a marathon), but those ahead will not stop to wait, and there are some lagging behind, but we shouldn’t stop and wait either. At points because too much loneliness, we may assume we could stop and wait, but it doesn’t work like that, even though if for a short while it may look like it does.

Stopping our “run” for someone, hoping that they would catch up is silly most of the times, and I realized that they’re behind not because they lack stamina Or potential qualities, neither help from the higher realms, but because they are unable to let go of ideologies, people, and things which are dragging them down, keeping them in the dark, stuck, like fetters attached to their ankles making their progress stall or extremely slow. Probably the distance between us and those “running ahead” is just a leap of faith, but Alas, it may sound easy but it’s definitely not, since many things are to be abandoned and transmuted in order to be able to jump, otherwise the weight is way too heavy for us to be able to separate ourselves from the previous level of the illusion.

To conclude, if you are on the right path, you will definitely perceive that you are losing people and feel more and more lonely, but hey… In reality we lose nothing but actually gain, since we start vibrating higher and we open up to resonating with higher beings that are in their majority in difrent planes of existence, so we gain more valuable friends and helpers. Also if you manage to find a “runner” that shares similar views and vibration, treasure this connection since the more you advance the lesser the crowd and you will start emphasizing quality over quantity.

Why?

Why do we suffer? Because we continuously want something. Our mind creates continuously a need, a thing, person or some element of fancy and desire. Also because we expect life to be made only of “good” elements, people and events. In short: because we have a childlike attitude and expectations, otherwise how else can we believe that we can have only daylight, hoping that there would be no night, how do we expect to have only summer and no winter, how can there be beauty without ugliness and so on.

A mature enough person acknowledges the fact that the ocean has its ebbs and flows, and every coin has 2 sides, as such we will have to experience both sides of whatever. But my observation is that when we try to get only the good things, we are missing the hidden gems in the “bad” ones. When we lament and cry because some unfortunate event, we will be missing the “juice” of that event, which came to existence to show us some flaw in our beliefs, some weakness, some points where we can work and improve, and some darkness which can be acknowledged and transmuted into pure Light of the All.

So behind any “why”, there’s always the answer. The difference is in our opening to perceiving the highest level of truth that we can grasp. Truth is not linear neither static. It’s an ever-evolving perception about everything. Everything is true at its own particular level of vibration and in its own timeline. No matter how absurd some affirmation could be, there are people or elements to which that can apply and to which is “correct”. On the other hand, at a higher level, that past “truth” becomes obsolete, a lie of the past to which we may look back with scorn. Nonetheless, that was correct at its point.

A fast example: I was certain in the past that for a healthy life, one has to eat a diet abundant in meat, for proper protein. And, boy, I was so acute and rigid when someone would say otherwise (as with many other things 😂) Later on, I discovered that I could easily live without any meat and discovered that if indeed we are in need of protein, there are definitely vegetables that are providing us with the needed proteins without any downgrade in nourishment. I am not advocating for any type of diet, although for my particular case, I resonate and function better on a vegetarian diet. I just used this for the sake of exemplifying. So what I meant to prove, was the “justness” of my previous belief at that moment when I was certain that we can’t function properly without meat in our diet. Then the truth evolved and became: “vegan is the new thing!” 😁 and after I came back to incorporating eggs and at points dairy products (which I removed once again).

I am not sure if my diet evolved or not in the right direction, since I went back and forth experimenting and seeing how it works, once again proving that everything in this paradigm has its cyclicity. But what I can definitely tell about myself is that I became very fluid in my beliefs, and try not to have any beliefs too rigid so I won’t waste the opportunity of expanding my understanding to the next immediate level if the opportunity appears. Now, I am ready to question even the most “undeniable” of the truths, knowing that whatever we may even be ready to put our life in line for, that we might consider an indubitable truth,… at a higher level is no longer valid and might even look like a joke and abomination compared to the newly discovered truth.

That being said, why are we suffering? Because of expectations, because we don’t accept the decrease which is inevitable after long periods of growth. Ideally we should probably have present in the back of our heads that everything is cyclical, and everything has its ebbing and flowing, that whatever goes up will eventually go down and so on. When something comes, know for sure that will eventually go, and sadness is followed by joy and vice versa in an eternal dance of polarities.

The secret probably is not to get overly excited about some happy event, being fully aware of this eternal alternation of poles in this world we are experiencing, neither getting too sad or depressed, because of the change in polarity. Therefore I come back to a topic that I addressed in previous articles and say that we should look for the middle point, the point of rest of the pendulum or try to stay as close as possible to that 0 point, so the movement of the pendulum of polarities will not swing too much in neither side, because a very powerful swing towards the positive will eventually change into an equal movement to the opposite direction, as stated also in one of the 7 laws of hermetics.

So to conclude, probably the best way to protect ourselves from suffering is diminishing as much as possible the expectations of goodness and dreaming only about the bright side of life, instead embracing both polarities within and without, knowing that each has its own role in our eternal path back Home.

Is there such thing as happiness?

Happiness is unreachable for people that always want something..

When one doesn’t want anything, happiness is reached, because not wanting anything means being at peace, without searching, without looking for anything, just acceptance of what it is, and that’s when we discover the state of Beingness!

Fulfillment of a desire will ignite several others and we often forget to stop chasing things, people and experiences, unawares that whatever is ours to be will be provided, even pushed by life onto us.

As soon as we stop wanting, and see how much we already have and realize that whatever is needed, is always provided by the Universe, the whole paradigm shifts and we get a chance to know that happiness is already with us at any single point in time, already here in the present moment where nothing is missing, nothing is ever wrong, even whilst in the midst of the most terrifying of the storms.

Yes, even when in a very troublesome moment or unwanted event we can always go within and experience that peace and love! And that my friend, is who we truly are.

Whatever else is fleeting, but that Eternal Being which can be named as peace, love, bliss, calm and humbleness is always there for us, it is who we truly are! Just tune in! Just allow turmoil to be there for as long as necessary, and go back to who you truly are.

Withdraw all your attention within from whatever external elements, people and events that keep you scattered, and I bet you that an imperceptible smile will appear on your calm face. You will know what I mean! Just tune in to the eternal peace that we all are, that’s within each and all of us.

Vasanas

Our lives are under the spell of past deeds and old patterns, crystallized into the so-called Vasanas which are patterns of behavior, predispositions, karmic and emotional responses. Seeking pleasure, running from pains, laziness, promiscuity, desire for/and addiction to objects, to people and emotions, craving for happiness, desire to get rid of pain through escapism and blaming others rather than taking full responsibility for own actions or reactions and events that happen to us. All these are the effects of Vasanas. These are all boulders chained to our ankles, not allowing us to walk freely, neither allowing us to see things for what they truly are.

Reading scriptures or writings of people on the path or writings of people that have achieved liberation are understood by each individual very differently. According to the stage of their evolution everyone has a certain mind setting and heart opening to understand certain aspects of the writings and the message embedded in them by the authors. Some very advanced books or writings may seem like gibberish, or boring, even unintelligible or of a too abstract nature… probably because they may be read too soon or the person is yet too engrossed in Samsara (the “material” world). But no worries, as the child is first learning to stand and only afterwards to walk, in the same way we are unable to force things to go faster, ahead of their time or in a different sequence rather than that which is suitable for us. But the intelligence of Life itself is beyond our comprehension at the moment. 

At first we are all just hungry for information. Some good information was coming mixed with the unnecessary one, but it’s all part of the learning process. So at first the desire for true knowledge is aroused, and I say without fear of mistaking that this is the very beginning of the Path. We may “waste time” reading books or articles, watching YouTube videos which maybe have no relevance now maybe, but it’s just a piece of the whole puzzle. How can you appreciate the Truth if you don’t notice (first) the illusion? How can you notice the illusion before being deeply immersed into it? How can we understand what the Vasanas are unless we allow them(at first) to spin us around and show us what is NOT the way. How sturdy will we be on the path of truth if we haven’t seen the lie?

Everything is correct in each moment of Now. We are in the perfect place, perfect timing and perfect circumstances. One may argue that it’s not so. I am not saying from the “normality” point of view, I am saying from a spiritual perspective. If we were even able to imagine it, we would have been There already.

How can you tell in the midst of drama (if?) what happens has a true and beneficial potential for your growth, when all we can see and feel is just pain and the suffering that makes us forget ourselves?

If in these moments of distress, we are able to withstand the old urges of acting or reacting, Vasanas lose their power onto us. Slowly, slowly,by not taking over and over again [the] same steps as we did in the past, we overcome and transcend old patterns of behavior which are obstructing our free flow on the road to Self-Mastery.

Do you think that you can achieve better results in applying once again the same “remedy” that was proven inefficient for lifetimes? If you try to solve the problems with the same mathematics, you will invariably get the same distorted result and fail again and again. If you really want to evolve, to break through all your limitations, find [a] solution “outside of the box”, outside of the comfort zone that you were using as a refuge each time you were in trouble. Don’t use the limited, logical mind in those situations, it’s going to be taking you back into the same loops that you are trying to escape. Take the leap of faith, jump into the unknown and know that you are protected by Life itself and even more, if you have found the true Guru, that lineage is going to be protecting you. Trust, surrender, jump. Mind(rudimentary/logical/unrefined mind), Ego, Vasanas, all are old friends that you have to part with for a chance to a new beginning, otherwise old friends are enforcing old habits and the old habits are pulling us back to the perpetual loop of mediocrity and suffering.

Surrender yourself to the Guru. Guru is Shiva. Remember Guru in time[s] of distress and forget everything else, and Guru will save you. Trust beyond trust, put all your life force and dedication into the process, because there’s no other more important endeavor than to uprooting the old, in order to be born anew. Lose all the attachments for objects, for enjoyment or for people whoever they may be, or you’ll be spinning in the big centrifuge of Samsara. Know what is eternal and what is illusion and choose wisely.

The blissful equinamous Being is eternal, everything else is illusion. Neutrality is the point of resting of a pendulum. So try to bring yourself to rest in the 0 point of existence. Stay in the 0 point of neither suffering nor enjoying, neither good nor bad, although people from outside may interpret the situation you’re in as good or bad, yet you are there without interpretation, without story. That’s the eternal chalice of Immortality, the Holy Grail of Everything, the Ultimate, the Absolute, Brahman. That is the point of no return, the point of enlightenment. We are already There, yet we’re unaware, so don’t even try to use your mind, desire and ambition to reach there, because mind, desire and ambition are again a very smart trick to pull you back into the Matrix. Establish yourself in a natural moral code, remove logic and logical analysis because they are Vasanas, just surrender to life and remain untarnished by whatever you are experiencing. Be free from cravings, desires, ambition, comparison, addictions and thoughts. Experience whatever comes in neutrality and you have freed yourself from the shackles of illusion. Remember that one of the Sun’s rays, by reaching out to a very remote and dark area, enlightens and warms up that area, transforming it, bringing it to life. The same with the Guru; once you open your heart and soul to the Guru’s Grace, you will transform as the arid dark and icy land that was hidden from the sun’s face becomes a prosperous, warm and fertile land.

There are good and bad predispositions. The good ones are the achievements from past lives, beneficial programs, high moral standards, imprinted into the soul to counter the effects of the bad ones. Eventually they are all to be transcended into pure Beingness, devoid of characteristics or qualities.

May all the readers have the chance to discover the true Guru within that will create the possibility of meeting the outer Guru and once you find the True Guru, may you never let go of that True Guru’s Lotus feet, because they are your Divine link to finding your inner Divinity.

The Revolver, by Guy Ritchie. And “The 13th floor”

What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?

The Revolver is such a deep movie unlike all the other Ritchie’s movies, although it may also be perceived by some as being weird. The 13th floor I have seen at least 7 times and revolver 6-7 times as well.. Highly recommend them, they have a great hidden spiritual message that sometimes is discovered after several watches

Sacred relationship

The path towards a sacred relationship is non-linear, it can’t be brought into fruition by same type of expectations or/and old ways of approaching relationship. It’s the path of spiritual refinement through relationship, through openness and dedication to self(in a non-narcissistic manner), the partner and the path itself.

If in normal situations people enter relationships hoping that this one will be providing them with comfort, love and happiness and be better than the previous ones.. The true path is where you recognize certain aspects that you want your partner to have yet you are well aware and prepared to face the hidden currents of that being and yours, because when the things get real, old unresolved traumas and distortions are coming bubbling to the surface to be acknowledged and worked with, which can be frightening and unbearable.

So humbleness and extreme courage are mandatory on this path. This is the path where although the man and woman are together, they know for sure that they are catalysts for the other’s stuff coming bubbling to the surface and they know that they are going to be facing the same.. But they’re there for one another, nurturing, lovingly understanding what they are going through, and not taking things personally during these outbursts of the old..

So if they dedicate one to the other and to their own evolutionary path, and they are taking it as a higher school of souls for two, where each to the other are teachers, triggers, doctors, lovers, caretakers and students… No inferiority or superiority is allowed to exist, but they see themselves as equal and they respect and are aware of the differences yet they fully embrace themselves and the other. Then this right approach will help them stay on this bumpy journey and they’ll grow beyond their wildest imagination..

The difference between this type of relationship and the narcissistic manipulative type is that in this relationship there’s no blaming game taking place, no past event or sharing used to shame the other or to force into submission. No desire to control is employed, although slight elements from the past may come and push them to act in similar distorted ways, yet the other one sees the patterns and bring them with patience and love to the awareness of the other and the other is choosing the new, healthier way to act this. So the other opens the eyes and sees the trap, the distortion and makes a conscious effort and decision to work it out. Trust is one of the most important elements that have to be fully employed in such a relationship.

Without trust, there’s no love! If fear is present, then true love is not there, because they’re very antagonistic vibration wise and they can not be equally represented in the same heart. You want to experience true love?, then you should eliminate fear from your system. Jump all in, especially if you perceive that life is pushing that experience to you to have, and/or it resonates within.

Even if you were wrong, the person was immature, and couldn’t go on this path, don’t close yourself, take it as training for the real one that is about to come. Take everything from the perspective of: “what is my lesson to learn out of this situation? “, taking full responsibility and growing out of the box, and the whole world is going to shift before your very eyes. Because the outer world is just a projection of the world within, the more perfection perceived within, the more perfect the perception of the external projection becomes too.

After all, our evolution is not that evident for others, nonetheless it’s a shift in the perception about the world and ourselves, a broader understanding and less limited interpretation of it all is born..

So the sacred relationship will have like all other relationships its ups and downs, oscillation between the two polarities, but definitely the loving and nurturing moments will be there too, as relaxing break moments on the path towards eternal refinement of ourselves until both have worked their limitations and are aware of subtler and subtler dimensions that need their attention, but they’re together, relying on the support, love and understanding of the other, wiser and every day more mature, a true silent, living example for other souls to follow.

I am still far

No matter how advanced we are and how much we worked our flaws out, we would definitely be still ignorants in different aspects or matters. This realization should make us very humble and should keep us in the mode of knowing that we are always going to remain students on the path of Light, regardless of the innumerable achievements and realizations.

I fell, without being aware, in the trap of feeling somewhat superior, believing that I know much, but I was totally incapable to really notice it until today. Oh what a lesson! What a great lesson and how disappointed I have been realizing how easy it is still to fall into past mistakes and ways, and how far I am from being through with my struggle with uprooting the past and the old unnecessary paradigms. 

I have been taught today that getting to have some spiritual experience and realization are truly nothing, if not fully integrated also into the material world that we call Matrix, Illusion, Maya, etc.. Similar to the assumption that we can jump straight into some advanced state without finishing our “dirty work”. 

Actually to be even more precise, I realized today that accumulation of spiritual information and having a well developed intuitive sense and having some time spent on the path might even become hindrances, if the old ways are not fully acknowledged and transcended, transmuted into higher level elements. I now understand how good people lost their path and minds and got astray, just by assuming that they can jump straight to some higher level disregarding the need to master the previous ones before that. It’s because of the hidden currents that they failed to acknowledge (their existence in their system) therefore, those hidden aspects, acted unimpeded under the surface, dragging one into the pit of righteousness and self-sabotage.

The so called “piousness” and righteousness is actually a sacrilege and in vain if one is not aware of whatever is useless and belongs to the old paradigm of being and is not worked out of the system.

Now the recommendation of all the scriptures and true perceptors and Teachers makes better sense:

” Exalt not thine heart above the children of men,

lest it be brought lower than the dust.

If thou be great among men,

be honoured for knowledge and gentleness.” 

– Excerpt from the Emarald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean.

So if I would have understood this recommendation previously, I would have never been so proud, teaching and preaching something that I haven’t fully mastered and experienced myself. Therefore I come here in front of you all and humbly admit my mistakes and kindly warn you so that you can learn out of my ignorance and don’t rush into believing that you can save anyone before fully saving oneself. 

I came here to write in this late hour, because I am very grateful for the amazing lesson, where I realized that I still have lots of work to do with myself, to share my humble experience, and whatever I got to know was the work of Grace in my life and some exertion from my end too, yet there are so many things that I disregarded and thought that they must have vanished by themselves, yet they are still lurking in the shadows, like prey animals waiting for their victim to be vulnerable.

I am very grateful for being able to observe the trap of my own ego, of my own mind and I am grateful for the being that triggered this situation. 

Embrace everything

Stop complaining about the world you are finding yourself in. If your place would have been elsewhere you would definitely be there. So while you are here, make sure you understand why you are in this place and time, and make sure you are diligently taking care of everything that life brings to your attention and learn the lessons attached to every single occurrence. 

The world we share is the most perfect place we can be, due to the actual state of wisdom and understanding that we share, as soon as we learned the lessons, did our job and realized what’s to be realized, do what’s to be done and experience what is to be experienced, our existence in this realm will become obsolete, hence we will head to the next level of the soul evolution. 

So there’s no point to whine, or lament anything. Everything is always the best place and timeline for our soul to be in. Every single being we encounter, are there to share something, to give or take something, to play the divine plan. There is nothing that is ever a play of chance, no random events, no luck. We categorize things under these terms because of our incapacity of seeing everything from a broader perspective, because we don’t see the infinite chain of causality that brought these things, elements, beings and happenings to existence. 

We are never off the path. Everyone is always on their own unique path of growth. For some is almost invisible since there’s no active search and desire to be on it, yet the life events are pushing one to face elements that are promoting greater awareness and knowledge. But it can take tens or hundreds of lives until the soul is engaged in active search of his true Self, and until is actively  engaged in the tedious process of removing the veils of ignorance and programs that fetter one to the illusion.

 Once one is actively searching, looking for the Ultimate, all the falsity will be gradually burned, pushed to the surface and brought to the awareness to be transmuted. This path is accelerated, karma is faced in a more rapid manner, and life may look hectic and eventful. This is definitely not for the weak, victimized and used to blame external factors or element people. The weak will abandon it rapidly, showing the intelligence of the path itself: no one that is not ready and mature, will be able to walk on the narrow and steep road towards self-realization. 

So when people want things to happen faster, they’re going to be going on the faster track, yet if it’s too much to bear, they will be returned to the slower, more bearable one, according to their current state. Therefore we should realize that each individual soul has their own particular path towards the collective goal of Unity, each having their own speed, and different experiences to have, so there should be no comparison neither competition since we can only have what’s ours to have. 

We might cling to ideas and projections of how life should be, how spiritual evolution should go. They’re all misconceptions and daydreaming. Evolution is not comprehended by our actual perception, since it is a limited, not yet evolved mode of perception. But one can definitely observe how things evolved compared to the past events and mode of understanding, looking back on how we used to perceive the world and ourselves and the understanding that we have now. 

So the best advice is to surrender to life, knowing that you are taken care of, and that whatever you are getting your way, are yours to experience and deal with. Don’t project or expect for things to go in a certain way, because it’s highly unlikely that is going to happen ever in that expected manner. If it’s happening like that, be cautious, it might be a self-created illusion in the Illusion itself. 

So in conclusion, the world is perfect in its own apparent imperfection, providing us with the necessary elements and events for us to go further, but the free will is always providing us with choice, and unfortunately the easy choice many times takes us on the longer path. So maybe you should embrace the hard, problematic and apparently dangerous path, because easy paths are taking nowhere. 

Lazy people who are waiting to be saved are in a loop that may keep them prisoners in the matrix for lifetimes, and in deep ignorance. True evolution goes hand in hand with assiduous work with oneself and lots of willpower to overcome the programming and darkness accumulated through the eons and taking full responsibility for everything coming our way, refusing to apply old approaches (that took us nowhere) to life. 

Wake up from sleep, step into the Light, shake yourself free from fetters of darkness and ignorance, embrace your Divine Essence, and become a tool of Light. 

What really changes when we evolve?

 

In reality there is no evolution. It’s just the process of removing the veils of ignorance and of the ego, removal of the belief that we are (just) the body and realization of the bigger picture about everything, stepping into a new mode of perception. What really changes throughout the time is our perception of everything within and without ourselves. 

Even people without any inclination towards working with their limitations and towards working to expand their limitedness, are aware of the change of their perception and beliefs during their lives. Like the child believes in ghosts and then grows into removing the “false” belief, and then possibly realizing once again the truth about that matter. But the true adept of life is not stopping by the threshold of some comfortable niche they wanted to reach, like abundant life, good relationships and what not, but continue forever on the path of self-discovery, knowing that all the material gains and comfortable things are there to provide small oasis to rest and recharge on the steep and hard way through the desert. 

From my experience I can tell that many people have reached that border, that threshold that separates our linear and limited growth inside the Matrix-created boundaries, and that true(-er) place where miracles are happening. But it’s so hard to jump, so hard to step into the unknown, so scary to embrace some unknown future onto which we have no power and especially so hard to take full responsibility for everything happening in our lives. This is the biggest obstacle for people on the path: inability to take full responsibility, inability to stop to blame the external factors and actors and realizing that they have exactly what they NEED to experience. “That knowledge of everything is mine to have and experience” , when we tend to complain and whine, will give us an unmoving inner peace that will take us further. 

Therefore the weak, materialistic, and the unprepared will deny themselves the entrance to that realm, because it’s the realm of taking full responsibility and understanding that everything coming our way is ours to experience. So in reality there’s no one denying us anything, it’s just our level of maturity that is or is not there for us to take that leap of faith. 

Returning to what really changes: for the external observer everything might look as it was previously, but for the one that took that leap of faith, everything became a quantum leap, everything is perceived differently, all the scriptures and previous knowledge that may have failed to bring anything are finally understood, there’s a clarity of perception that seems totally normal for the person experiencing it, and that grows and expands in time, if the soul experiencing it remains humble, courageous and true to him(-her)self. It’s an “Aha” moment. That’s why it takes time for that being to realize how far they’ve traveled, how far their understanding reached compared to the regular people and to how they used to be. It’s nothing evident for no one, not even to themselves at first, but slowly they’re going to be able to see a clearer picture about everything. 

There’s no ultimate truth, the truth evolves to higher and higher Realms therefore the traveler that I am talking about is just one step ahead of the ignorant, but compared to higher beings he might be like the consciousness of an ant that evolved from the consciousness of a piece of rock. So there’s no end point, the small evolution (that I am talking about) is almost nothing, it’s just a tiny step, a glimpse of the infinite vastness of it all, and it’s so humbling and so scary to some degree; the understanding that although we are seeing things clearer, we are still very, very ignorant about everything, even about our own existence in the human body and this world we’re experiencing, it’s deeper reasons and meanings. 

The true adept humbles down. The immature being that got a glimpse of this newly discovered dimension is going to feel great, advanced, feel like they are healers, saviors, teachers and rulers. It’s just the wisdom of the All, showing us that we can’t pass the 3rd grade unless we’ve graduated from the 2nd one. 

YouTube and any other social media nowadays are full of all these ignorants that made a big deal of themselves and their tiny little ant step, that believe in their greatness and are just blind people “guiding” other people toward the abyss under the pretext of righteousness and promising enlightenment that they failed to achieve themselves. How ignorant one can be to promise something that they themselves haven’t touched upon? 

But there are extremely few that are evolved, humble and trying to spread the word, trying to bring light in a world of darkness, but their message is not easily grasped so they are definitely not (at least not yet) having millions or tens of millions of followers since the truth and real are not truly looked for at the time being. 

But those other “blind” people (followers of the fake gurus, healers and “spiritual” people) on YouTube are not at all mere victims, they are getting what’s theirs to have. Why? Because they are corrupt and rotten within, or they look for quick fixes, therefore their rottenness attracts rottenness without fail. Like attracts like, so people should just spend their time becoming truthful, seeing their true reasons behind their desire to spiritually evolve, they should become simpler, humbler, courageous and pure in order to walk through the fire, otherwise light attracts light and darkness will attract darkness.

From my observations I have seen people that have met the real Guru, the real essence of the All, yet although given this opportunity they have shown no gratitude, no surrender, no devotion. They’ve approached the Real with their old business-oriented approach, the buyer attitude, cunningly, trying to negotiate, trying to “buy cheaper” something that is priceless. They have projected onto divine beings their own expectations and ideas of how things should be. Therefore they got a glimpse of the Real, but because it didn’t fit their limited criteria and little box, they denied it, attacked it, trashed it, diminished it in their own minds, and went back to the previous step, or even lower, back to the old known ignorant way of doing that doesn’t take one anywhere but keeps one in the loop of the limited, the material, and the mental sickness world. 

But those who realized that they’ve touched the True, they will hold fast to that Being that embodies That which is latently within us all, but which has been recognized and brought to its fullest by that Teacher. Those “holding to the Guru’s feet” (which in reality is not literally, but holding on to that what is Real) will be tormented, pushed from here to there by all sorts of forces, needing to exhaust chunks of darkness acquired through the ages, elements and situations, but if they are weak, they will run away from the True Being, and will be rewarded with the same old Matrix-like illusion that they were trying to escape previously, so some will stop trying to walk “The Path”.

The true adept will keep “holding the Guru’s feet” (The Higher Reality and Beingness) and whatever they may believe that they see or hear or understand (which might be incorrect), if they hold onto that purity within themselves and in the outer world, in the form of the Guru, they will manage to grow, to mature in a true spiritual sense, in which past storms that used to be dangerous for them are just a regular sunny day in the park and they are walking unmoved by any disturbance in this world, and they’re experiencing subtler and subtler challenges, in a continuous unfolding of that inner dirt that has to be dealt with and transmuted into Light. 

. 

 I wish you all readers, that if this is what your true soul longing is, to find That, the Ultimate, the All, the beginning and the end of it all and you have the power, humbleness and courage to face the darkness that prevents us from uniting with That, to reach it, to be touched by the Grace of that what you seek, and have the strength to do your part, because there’s really no way to avoid facing the darkness when you walk the path towards Light. It’s like you can’t do water sports without getting wet. 

God bless you all! 

Contemplating about this experience

All the teachers, scriptures, knowledge, the Guru and any other way to disentangle ourselves from what’s not real, converge eventually in the very Essence, the Source out of which everything sprung out, the mother hen calling back her chicks.

There is something that tricks us, it’s us, our very (lower-) mind, that we are constantly falling for,.. thoughts and feelings that are not even ours. They’re constantly demanding something, wanting something, continuously judging , defending, fighting, struggling for something or someone. That is definitely not us, it’s a shadow of darkness that plays our roles and because we are too lazy and ignorant to take control we let it rule us. It’s the thing called the ego, the shadow self, the lower mind, the demon within.

Our entire life we’re just watching this entity tricking us into a belief that it is our true self, and we fall for its needs, desires and suggestions, diving deeper and deeper into the darkness, falling more and more into the pit of forgetfulness, surrendering more and more our free will and allowing this entity full control over our bodies, lives and destinies.

Our true essence is the very Light that illuminates the sun, the spark of fire that ignited all fire, the Primordial One, the Eternal and Absolute One. Since That is within us, is there anything else worth fighting for, looking for, craving for, other than finding and remembering our true Essence?

Is there any worth in ephemeral pursuits that even when acquired instead of satiating us, they’re only igniting more and more desires and push us for more struggle and misery? Isn’t it obvious that we are just a squirrel running in a wheel, stupidly believing that will reach some distant point by running faster?

Desires promote more desires and fulfillment of one will open several other doors for other desires to be created. Altruistic desires are the first level to becoming selfless and getting rid of the fetters of the shadow self. Eventually all desires should subside, and the identification with “me” and “mine” should dizolve too, then we open up to realizing that we are not limited to this ephemeral body that we’re inhabiting, but we are indeed infinite and everything is within us.

About demons

The demons or negative entities are guardians of their own level of vibration. You can try to fight them, although what you fight you become.. Or we can raise to a different level of vibration where they are no longer relevant. They continue to live and guard and try to maintain souls captured in their own level of vibration. But whoever rises above that level that they (the demons) represent, escapes from their thralls.

Therefore there’s definitely no need to fight any dark entities, because they all represent our ignorant, dark, lower, violent, animalistic nature, which is to be acknowledged, recognized, transcended and transmuted into the pure Light. Once we transcend that lower nature we are going to be exposed to different situations and people that will test our level of vibration and knowledge. After proving our worth, courage, selflessness and humbleness for a period of time, we are going to be allowed to open and pass through the door to the next level of vibration, knowledge and consciousness, where the truth is subtler and some previous bookish knowledge (even from scriptures) that we took for ultimate truth becomes obsolete and redundant, and a whole new perspective is born in the newly rewired understanding. Everything has its meaning and purpose at a certain point in time and space. 

Everything has its own proper place in the world we’re experiencing, and demons are too partaking in the divine plan. In fact there is nothing outside the Divine plan. Hence the realization that there’s nothing to fight or to oppose. The secret is to raise above, to raise one’s vibration above our lower acquired nature (through repeated incarnations) and hence escaping automatically the guardians of the lower planes and rising to the immediate next level, which inevitably has its own guardians and rulers.

When we lose the Path

So many times I thought I got lost, that I lost my path to remembering who and what I truly am, yet in fact I was still on it, but my guilt and shame for “going astray” or going back to old paths of perdition, almost blocked my way back to it (the Path”).

There is no losing the path at all, it’s all just the eternal swinging pendulum of life pushing one back and forth, up and down,in and out of balance. Know that the ripe ones observe this movement, and the change of moods and tendencies, and are choosing the right action or not to action, without letting themselves to be influenced by the eternal pendular movement of everything in this paradigm. 

Regain your faith and know that you didn’t do anything wrong, you just allowed yourself to be dragged back for a while by the force of the “low tide”, but you can easily step out of it whenever you desire to do so. And believe it or not, all of the previous Masters and realized beings have experienced the same issue and eventually overcome it. As they say: “the winner is just a loser who kept on trying” . 

The law of free will is a divine mandate that no one can oppose or go against without huge repercussions. Therefore be certain that you know what you want and make sure you don’t trespass other’s freewill either. Many times we’re tricked by entities into guilt and shame and we accept “punishments” in all ways possible, believing that we deserve them. Hence we’re bound by our own free will, smartly manipulated by the forces of darkness, so eventually there’s no one punishing or inflicting harm to ourselves but ourselves. 

Be aware of your power and become conscious of it, take full responsibility for everything and become a representative of the Divine Law instead of being a “victim” of it. The ignorant is like a leaf in the wind, moved from here to there by lack of proper higher vision and willpower. 

We are always on the right path. The elliptical path starts from the Source, goes far away from it and then, while being quite afar, the remembrance of that spark that left the Source, and memory of its true essence is reignited, the longing for returning to the Light of its Being is revived, and the Path is initiated. Consequently the long road back home starts. 

One of the hermetic principles declares: “as above so below”, So as, planets, stars, and even universes have their elliptical movements of going far and coming back, similarly, we souls are no different. Regardless of how far into the darkness a soul might have went, eventually it will steer back towards the source of everything, as another proof that there is nothing but Light out of which everything sprung out. 

Like great Master Tilopa said to his student Naropa:

“The darkness of a thousand eons cannot dim the brilliant radiance that is the essence of the sun.  Likewise, eons of samsara  cannot dim the sheer clarity that is the essence of the mind.” 

So all we need to remember is that purity of our essence that cannot be stained by anything we do. Although that shouldn’t be used as an excuse to act immoral or in any way that might be harmful or detrimental to other souls. The coming back path comes with huge responsibility. Now you know what needs to be done. We know the divine laws that we should abide by, now the ignorance of the child has been dispelled, therefore we have to embrace the responsibility of an adult and start shining in the world, silently, humbly, as the sun shines over weeds and good plants alike without need for anyone’s acknowledgement or praise, just doing the needful. . 

Start giving in a selfless way, know all existence to be one with The All, embrace It as your own being and dwell in It forever. 

It’s great that even when one goes unknowingly to “the other side”, falling again into old patterns of behavior, there’s always a stretched hand to pull one back onto the path of Truth, be it the Grace of the Guru, the call of the spiritual lineage, or whichever way it may manifest… all one needs is to be open, to listen, and nature itself will deliver one way or another the redemption message for the one that has ears to receive. 

The weak will fall into victimization, into believing that there’s no return, hence wasting another incarnation as probably happened previously, but the one that reached maturity will once again raise from the ground, dust their clothes and walk on the eternal steep road ahead that eventually unites one with its Source. 

Winning the fight

The biggest desire I have is to free myself from desires. 

Walking “The Path” is very hard for the one with a weak willpower. Everything is about conquering the lower tendencies and thriving. 

The strong knows that only his weakness can bring his downfall, therefore he guards himself with awareness and slashes with the sword of awareness any weakness born out of ignorance, any imposition from anywhere. He knows that he is not in charge of the outcomes, yet he does his best always, knowing that he may face failure even if he did his best, but he is not worried about the outcome. He is rather concerned with noticing the old patterns of behavior trying to drag one back to the previous position, yet he laughs with awareness of such a silly thing. Yet he is ever cautious not to allow pride or a superior feeling to take hold of him. 

How can he have something imposed on himself when he is well aware of his goal and everything that might be deviating him from that, he knows well that is a foreign suggestion. If you feel weak, rejoice, because you can get stronger. If you feel strong it’s because you are proud, and pride can be your downfall. 

When thoughts are coming, know for sure that you are not their creator regardless of the type of thoughts. So refuse to harbor them with firm demeanor and stay peaceful, while observing the creation of the thoughts, as waves that rise and fall are created in the sea. Thoughts are always the weapon of crime in anything that is low, that is criminal, that is detrimental. Then why are we entertaining them? Every single deed that harms self or other starts first with a thought. Then why to follow such a demented leader? 

If we have a very powerful will and a very high goal always present in our minds, then all the magic (which works by forcing suggestions and foreign feelings that distract and deviate someone’s path towards their highest goal) or distraction, is as futile as trying to knock out an experienced boxer by throwing popcorn at him, regardless of the power and intensity of that attack. Therefore the spiritual essence of that being is reinforced and strengthened by his stoic and unmoving, calm attitude with which he withstands any storm or attack. To this person the unsuccessful attackers will eventually bow and serve. 

The biggest enemy we can have is our own self (ego) , the old victimized, entitled, fearful, violent, judgmental, and unyielding mind that wants to be in control. It can’t be destroyed, but transcended. Its darkness and lowness can be transmuted into pure Light and growth. 

The external world is an extension of that lower mind, so it will be definitely used as a tool in binding you even more to the projection of the mind. Those who try to liberate themselves from the thralls of the ego are going to be facing adversity as never before, or if their soft spot is having sensual pleasures fulfilled, they might get that and the problems might lessen while they are lost in the mirage of satisfying their senses. 

 In the movie “Matrix” Neo finds out that anyone who is still in the Matrix can be used against him, because himself, being already out of the system (of control), became an existential threat for the system itself. Because if one frees himself of the thralls of the Matrix, will create an example for others to follow, an energetic whirlpool that will inspire others, which might be the beginning of the end of that system. 

But that system of control is within, don’t try to fight the windmills outside of yourself like Don Quijote . The enemy is the old, the stale, the dark. Transmute them all into their opposites and come up victorious. The victorious in this case becomes more humble, pure, and yielding, a paradoxical image that we might have had about the losers. 

Whoever “fought himself” and won, has won everything. The external is just a mirror of the internal, so when you don’t like something outside, go and work with the cause within. As such is the wisdom of the Pathless Path to self-realization and mastery. 

Linear vs. Quantum

Walking in a regular, linear (typical A to B thinking) style will not take you to the quantum world. Going onto old ways and itineraries and using the same old tools that took you nowhere would not be able to take you anywhere or give you new outcomes that you dream about. 

The limited mind is the very representation of the old, so you can recognize the influence of the mind by the conservative approaches and actions that try to preserve its status quo. Mind tries to preserve the old ways that insures its ruling over the dormant Self. Therefore if you dream (aspire) about waking up, you have to take a leap of faith into the unknown, into newness. You have to be courageous to embrace the unknown, be wise and patient, pure, humble and crazily letting go of each past moment, ruthlessly slashing unnecessary ties with the old and the darkness. 

You have to know that whatever you see is somewhat an illusion because of the limited tools of perception. The senses are very limited compared to the vastness of existence and its infinite expression. The senses only perceive a small fraction of what truly is, so the image, sound and feeling of something is mostly a mind concept, created out of insufficient data collected by the senses, the mind draws the rest of the image according to beliefs and memories of the past which are even more phantasmagoric due to the lack of previous correct perception/interpretation of the past experiences. This knowledge about our impossibility/limitation to see the entire “picture” should humble us down, accepting that the most probable thing is that we don’t know anything, and this is the beginning of true wisdom.

Even in situations in which we believe that we are exposing ourselves to novelty and growth, there might be little or no truth about it. Let’s take for instance the interaction with a Siddha (perfected) being if we are ripe enough to recognize such an encounter. . Although we feel intuitively that the being in front of us is in a different (higher) reality /paradigm then we are, so we intuitively feel that being as in a more advanced state than us, we are still unable to comprehend and to imagine the extent of that difference, similar to a child not being able to truly imagine the complexity of the adult experience and perception that comes with time and maturity. Therefore we will continue to project onto that being our old ideas and perception and judge his/her actions, words and appearance according to our own patterns and faulty (socially imposed) rules that are dictated by the mind(ego), which wants to preserve its reign over the dormant Self and ensure its continuity throughout lifetimes. 

The only way we might have a chance to change the linearity into quantum is by accepting, by flowing with life, fully trusting it and without projecting potential outcomes onto it. Each time we project, expect and hope about a certain outcome coming true, we are trying to manipulate life to flow in a certain way that we expect, project or hope, therefore depriving ourselves of what is truly ours to have and experience, just because we are afraid of the unknown and we are unable to trust. This is the very reason for the suffering that everyone is experiencing at this moment. 

A perfected being will truly trigger all the falsehood and darkness that we have within and we try to numb, hide and deny that even exists within us. It is so easy to blame the trigger instead of knowing and owning our own shit. After all everything and everyone outside of ourselves are just triggers and pointers to what is already within us. Once something is not within ourselves it is impossible for an external factor to trigger what is not there. It’s like someone coming with a torch inside a cave, but since there’s no wood or other inflammable material inside the cave, there will be no chance of a fire to start. 

Therefore we shouldn’t blame external elements as people and situations for what we don’t like, but rather take full responsibility for what we feel/experience and wonder about, and question and realize what’s our input for that situation to take place. Because that is ours and the reason is within, so don’t blame anyone without because it is like blaming the sea for drowning you, when it is your fault that you jumped inside without knowing how to swim. 

If we remember that everything that we experience outside is caused by what is within us, then we indeed walk the path of rediscovery, of self-realization.  As a small example once we’ve transcended and realized the uselessness of being envious or jealous with someone for whatever reason, no matter what qualities or possessions people will have, they will fail to ignite any jealousy or envy.

A perfected (Siddha) being will be invisible for us in its magnanimous effulgence that he/she has, if we haven’t reached a similar level, because all we will see in that tranquil water (that that being is like) will be our own crap and ignorance being reflected back to us.

I have seen people running away from that type of experience and I did that myself many times. It is truly unbearable for the one not ready to take full responsibility for EVERYTHING, and it is so easy to blame the trigger, to blame the mirror that shows a monster. But the monster is hidden within us and its power lies in its secrecy, in the fact of us being unaware of its whereabouts and its very existence. And that is not a different entity but ourselves, the very animalistic, basic, instinctual, victimized, vengeful, unforgiving, coward, dark and egotistical self that is ruling this paradigm, like some sort of the boss of the end of this level that we are trying to pass, like in computer games. 

Once we admit that there might be a monster lurking within, its powers diminish and eventually, by losing the ignorance and knowing that its existence is a fact, that monster transforms into a sweet little puppy, a harmless animal that has a potential to transform both into a rabid, totally uncontrollable wolf, or into a faithful, loving and tamed dog. Both potentialities exist in the same time, but we are aware of the choices and the wisdom will dictate from now on when each of those are to be used. 

There’s a risk of people taking charlatans for Siddha (perfected – highly evolved spiritually) beings. Unfortunately there are not many known Siddha beings incarnated at the moment, at least that I am aware of, yet the ones that try to mesmerize the masses by posing as such beautiful beings are many. In reality the capacity to recognize such Beings it is just according to our own vibration. We attract what’s within us. If within its mostly corruption and illusion we will attract someone who is similar, until we realize the lesson of that level and we get a chance to get to the “real deal”. If we’re vibrating in a certain way we will definitely attract similar vibrating beings and experience. But truly evolved beings that came one way or another into our lives are recognized by their vibration as useful trees are recognized by their fruits. From now on that being’s appearance in our lives will trigger an inner fight, the eternal fight between ignorance and knowledge, between good and bad, old and new… All the qualities, the morality, our purity and humbleness will be under severe scrutiny by Life itself. All the props and crutches are going to be destroyed or temporarily deactivated. We are definitely going to show what material we are made of. Since the path is taking us to a whole new level, it will not just going to be given like that to the one who hasn’t earned it before showing their true nature. 

Similarly I am sure no one would give a totally new driver a brand new Lamborghini to drive, unless they’ve proven their skills on a lower level car. As such with stepping into a whole new paradigm, one has to prove himself/herself worthy and equipped with the necessary skills to survive the new challenges and vibration.

So if we are really looking for the real let’s forget about complaining and wanting to change anything according to our fickleness of mind, let’s rather develop stoicism, patience and purity and all that is ours will undoubtedly come our way. 

Free yourself from bondage

Whoever doesn’t want to get anything, nothing to achieve and nothing to be is not touched anymore by the vicissitudes of life. They are just laughing at whatever event they might experience, be it “good” or “bad”, fully aware of the transitory nature of everything.,they clearly see the fallacy of taking everything outside of themselves as being real, yet they are courageously playing the game, like sportsmen, embracing each and every challenge coming their way, while maintaining a high level of morality.

What is there to desire, have and/or keep forever (since everything is fleeting)? Obviously nothing. Yet we shouldn’t run away from anything that life unfolds before us. The events are there to test our virtuosity, patience, and regard to our fellow beings (not only human) every single moment. They’re testing our purity, our inner peace, our patience and other qualities that are the prerequisite for shedding the old and stepping into a totally new paradigm. The events are also showing us how much we’ve grown on the path also.

The secret lies in the change of perspective. In reality nothing else changes since nothing is truly solid, unless the perspective shifts, everything being a projection of one’s limited mind and its distortions.
While we believe in the existence of the separation of individuals in friends and foes, we will encounter situations and events that will stimulate and confirm that belief. Just believing in the Unity would not take us very far either since it’s not yet a true realization that comes from within, but a mere theoretical acknowledgement. Not believing in any concept or idea, dropping any intellectual concepts and theories will remove the crutches and props that the mind uses to build its fantasy.

Once all the concepts are dropped, reality is perceived at a subtle level, free from logical assumptions or projections, naked, unveiled from previously accumulated knowledge that has become obsolete. The power we have is to flip every single situation and see it in a different light, remove the personal story and the shiny lie (Maya, the illusion) will be perceived as it is.

We are the ones keeping ourselves in the prison of the senses. The 5 senses are nothing but wardens of our prison. Everything is distorted and misrepresented so that we can easily say that we’re living a lie, a total fabrication. Then what’s the point of losing ourselves in this movie? We forgot that we are beyond the movie, beyond the watcher and the director, beyond the actors and the events.

All the suffering has its cause in our desires. Fulfillment of one desire is given and might be even helped and stimulated by occult elements because it’s a fetter that binds us more onto the illusion. Therefore more desires are sprouting, as from a single grain of wheat several others are created, the hardest the task to exit the trap.

As soon as we start cutting our desires gradually, we start glimpsing through the fabric of the world. The desireless person is never unpleasantly nor pleasantly surprised by life because they are not hoping, not wishing, or craving for a certain outcome.
They got indubitably out of the grip of sorrow and happiness, but they reside unmoved in the inner bliss of the Being that depends on nothing. Their sedateness comes from the realization of the futility of involving in a passionate way in the game (life) yet their duties are fulfilled diligently, nothing is left undone, and no task is forsaken.

To the regular soul inhabiting a human body, they (the desireless being) appear regular and trivial since they appear fully immersed in the game. The only difference between the first one and the other is that their immersion is fully conscious and although their actions may appear to the unaware as being normal, their actions come truly from Life itself which flows unobstructed through their beings.

Once the hindrances have been relinquished, the desire to satisfy the senses has been removed, we are in alignment with life and we observe its flow through us and we know that we are One with it, therefore, whatever word or action comes through us is the very expression of the Unlimited in the limited.

Let life happen to you

Let whatever is yours come your way unobstructed, and let whatever is not yours to have, leave you without opposition.

When we want to control life, to direct its flow towards a certain outcome the result is pain. Even if we achieve that goal that made us invest so much time, energy and effort into it, eventually we realize that maybe it wasn’t really worth the struggle. Moreover the fulfillment of one desire automatically brings more desires and this loop never stops. Not even death puts an end to it since the mind will take its desires to the next experience (birth) so this is the very reason for us playing this game of birth and death. 

As soon as you stop wanting things you have reached the ultimate happiness, the eternal bliss. That can come from the realization of “I had enough of everything” – Enough is enough! – and you decide to watch and rest, instead of manipulating, controlling and struggling. Or it comes from the realization of who you truly are, the Ultimate existence that has already everything and is already anything.

Every single moment of our lives carries a teaching, in each moment we have a choice. It’s like life tests us continuously bringing up similar struggles or dramas with those in the past, and we are facing them to see if lessons have been learnt. We are unaware of us being vengeful and feeling entitled and excusing atrocious behavior of ourselves under the pretext of righteousness. There’s no excuse for doing harm, for violence, when it comes from the rottenness of the ego.

The motive always matters. If a family living in the woods hunts every week a deer for the family to be fed, nature endures. But when people go hunting for the thrill of killing, it means that they are killing animals for their own pleasure and for that pleasure nature is going to punish one way or another. We are so unaware of the consequences of all our actions, everything produces an impact, everything is accounted for, therefore if we let life happen to us, but the steerer is the ego, then we’re down that same drain, in the same loop that kept us busy tens and hundreds of lifetimes.

When we let life happen to us, we are allowing what’s for us to come and find us, regardless that it can be catalogued as “good” or “bad”. In my understanding we are supposed to have a certain amount of experiences, a certain amount of pain, joy and whatever. When we run away from the experience, when we run away from pain, solitude and whatever disturbs us, we are just postponing it and prolonging the agony.

Let’s say we are meant to experience pain, 8 on a scale from 0 to 10. In a traumatic situation pain is building and grows on that scale, 1, 2, 3.. 7. When we run away from it before reaching that tipping point we postpone the whole process once again. So we will need to face a different traumatic event, again building the pain 1,2,3..7 but if unless the destined degree has been reached, there will be no resolution. Therefore, we should try to embrace whatever comes. Whatever comes is definitely ours to have.

The good news is that life is very just and balanced. There is never only a downward spiral of unhappy events from bad to worse. Even if we have a heavy karma to pay, we are going to be given moments of joy, of rest. Life is always fair, always correct. If we are aware that the huge pile of crap we’re carrying is ours to handle and carry until we transmute it into pure spiritual gold, then there’s no external actor or unfortunate event neither accident to blame for whatever we experience. In that moment of realization you drop all blame for yourself or others, you will definitely smile, understanding that everything is perfect, everything is always right!

Do what is for you to do, and forget about outcomes since we are not the ones in control of the outcomes. Do your best and forget the rest! If you are alone and you are fine with it but life brings someone in your life, if it clicks, it’s yours to have: be it a happy or painful experience, it’s definitely what you need to have! When we are flowing with and through life, everything comes naturally, everything is meant to be. When we think we know better we might bring unnecessary, delaying events and elements into our lives. So there has to be an element of surrender always present in our lives, even if we are caught unawares, the moment we surrender and let go, the grip of despair is loosening.

Surrender control, embrace everything, stop seeing things from the “I”, “me” and “mine” perspective. These are the veils that keep us ignorant: limiting ourselves to the bodily frame and limited mind and ego and separation perspective.

Let life happen to you and enjoy the ride, as all the rides sometimes are smooth, sometimes bumpy. It is all you’ve chosen for you to experience, so trust your higher Self! If it happens it means you are ready to have that (whatever might be), see the learning lesson within, the pain that surrounds that bitter event is just a veil to make it harder to accept, but each such event is a blessing in disguise, a bitter candy that has a sweet, creamy core as a reward for the patient, courageous and resilient who beared the bitterness.

Who am I?

I just can’t box myself.
The moment I believe I am intelligent I see my many moments of stupidity.
The moment I believe I am a bad person I see the purity and kindness of my heart.
When I see my qualities, life is pointing at my shortcomings.
Who am I? How can I say that I am this or that?, I am like this and like that, because I encompass everything, the ugliness and beauty, the white and the black alike. I know that everything is beyond the polarities yet it remains just a fiction (whilst not fully realized) , another concept for the mind to play with and to twist, a theory that is not yet embedded in each particle of my physical and subtle existence.

The Being knows it, it is That, the essence that’s beyond the duality, the place where everything emerged from. Yet the mind and its physical vessel is limiting, because I don’t know yet how to stop it. Of course I know there’s nothing to stop. How can you stop an inexistent car? It’s frustrating, says the mind. Yet the body is relaxing, no longer falling for the mind anxious ways,..It aligns with the Being. I let go, I, that being that IS, and nothing else. Everything else I am not. I am not the mind, not the body, I am not my character and it’s ephemeral qualities. The logic can’t grasp it, because it’s not just a thought put into writing, it’s just That, that I am, that we all are.

Do you see it? Probably. Probably not. Do you feel it, yes! I am certain. I bet some little click happened within, of course the mind will cover it up, trying to hide it, like it deletes everything that’s too abstract for its limited, squary logic to grasp, but this click is not possible to delete, because it comes from that which unites us all. It is eternal. Unbound. Unstoppable. Like a tsunami. But it can be delayed, because the mind in its existing inexistence controls another illusion which is time. But that little click will slowly blossom and the process is unstoppable, remember. Let what’s a dream vanish, and what’s true stay. In time we will master the method. We are One.

So who am I? Can’t tell. But I know that everything that I thought I was, I am not.
As soon as I box myself, I see the box,.. It used to be invisible, but slowly I started feeling it, because the mind created it. So what am I? I just am. I am.

I am like a seed. A seed that used to want to grow into a full-fledged tree in the world, but I have to find my way back. To re-learn how to be a seed and stay there, unborn, unsprouted, uncreated, bathing in the eternal bliss of Sat Chit Ananda.

I am not running away from the world, from life. On the contrary, I embrace it fully, looking so immersed in it, yet something is different this time. I am no longer on “autopilot” mode. I am more and more aware. This awareness is slowly growing and things that used to be there, fixed in my character start to vanish or become fainter.



To be continued…

Desires, the ace in the sleeve of Illusion

Although we eat sweets and food to give us a sense of “happiness”, of joy, the pleasure is very limited and short lived and invites afterwards the other side of the pendulum, the lower feelings of guilt, remorse, depression, along with the health repercussions on the physical body etc, and since the world is mostly polarized towards negative nowadays, the lower emotions are felt more acute and seem to last longer… Actually it’s funny that I was reading something similar in the book of Nisargadatta yesterday, about the futility of empowering desires and pushing toward materializing them. And this is because the result is more pain and suffering which eventually will push us to try to get more and more “better experiences” to “counter” the painful or unpleasant ones, and the circle continues in a downward spiral. I haven’t fully seen it whilst reading about it, but now (after feeling the low-vibe emotions following – in my case – the eating of too much sweets along with the experience), it clearly makes sense why the desire to experience all this “good” stuff and to avoid the “bad” ones is silly and unproductive. 

The brilliant life teaches again! All the sensual pleasures (belonging to the sense organs) are just traps of the soul enforced by the mind in its attempt to ensure the perpetuation of its ruling over the body and its continuous transmigration (from one body/experience to another) until the veils of ignorance are burnt down by the power and light of the Self. 

The desires are keeping the spirit under heavy veils of ignorance, especially when that sensual pleasure is experienced in a non-aware or semi-aware state, therefore pulling one into a Vortex of low vibration feelings and a vicious circle of desire – fulfillment – short lived (almost fake) pleasure – suffering flow of events. And it all exhausts the body (through eating bad stuff, sweets, fast-food, having unhealthy sexual desire, unhealthy sexual unions (that might bring trouble in all sorts of ways) or unnecessary and excessive masturbation, and addiction to everything related to the satisfying of the senses… Oh, what a smart trap!!! 

The true yogi sees through the trap and takes the other path, the path of breaking down walls and patterns that keeps him captured in this illusion. He knows that he is not the body neither the mind nor the experience) so he learns to watch himself while exploring the illusion. He removes one by one all addiction, all dependence to anything, letting slowly go of everything that used to bound him/her.  He starts seeing the middle path, in which he still eats, but doesn’t crave sweets or fancy or/and unhealthy food. He might still have a sexual life, but is healthy and devoid of craving for it. He stops craving for any stimulation, either visual, tactile, taste-wise, sexual, olfactive, auditive,… , being fulfilled by the eternal bliss of the Self found within. The middle path is not craving for anything, yet if some fancy thing appears by itself, it is fully and awarely experienced and not craved for after it ends, neither the fact that was experienced regretted. Everything seems equal inside of him, although for the external observer might look opprobrious, but this is rather advanced and we can only speculate on the moment when that point is reached. Unless we get to that same level of experience, we, who haven’t reached there, will continue seeing things in a very limited and naive way, being prone to judge according to our limitations the actions and experiences of beings that have transcended the limited to a certain extent. 

Continuous untangling and transmutation of “what is not us” out of our system is the path to Yoga. Instead of being the path of acquiring, it’s the path of “losing” (letting go) everything from the point of view of not considering things or people as our property, having people and things vanishing away and being fine with it. It is the path where attachments are slowly disappearing . That doesn’t mean that people, properties and experiences are not there anymore; yes they might still be, but they are all brought by Life itself, pushed by the destiny to be fulfilled, instead of being created by the continuous desire, volition and struggle to control and manipulate the flow of life. 

He (the Yogi) doesn’t refuse anything, and although experiencing it, doesn’t attach to any of these experiences or people. A sweet tranquility is inside of the yogi whether he’s  eating, having sexual intercourse, or experiencing whatever people might judge as a good or bad event. He’s always the same, sedate inside himself, equanimous, bathing in the bliss of himself, unfettered by the tricks of the illusion.

Victimization – a spiritual disability

 

One of the biggest obstacle towards freeing ourselves from the shackles of the darkness of our ignorance is victimization. It is that sweet and sour feeling that the world is against us, that we are mistreated by life and the others, where we feel pity for ourselves. If you are there, you are trapped by your own inability to take full responsibility for your existence and if you continue on this path you can not exit. 

Exiting and transcending victimization is a huge progress yet a very hard decision to make. I have seen very beautiful souls that are, at least for the moment, incapable of taking full responsibility for everything in their lives. 

Whatever happens in your life is definitely there for you, there’s no accident, no chance. It is for sure some test, some karmic debt, some lesson to learn from. By running away from owning that moment in full awareness without blaming anyone, you are depriving yourself from a clear vision of where you stand at this moment on your evolutionary path. 

From experience I know how easy and comfortable it is to blame external factors, people and life in general for our experience. It’s such a soothing feeling to blame and point fingers at others instead of owning it all gracefully. 

First time I did it (managed to act out of the box) was with a very dear person to me that was appearing mean and disrespectful to me, when I decided to flip the tables and see things differently. Wow, what a shift. All of the sudden, a very potentially traumatic event appeared for what it truly was: nothing at all. It is us with our own power of consciousness, and roaming in heavy thoughts and over-analysis  that we create out of thin air traumatic events and enemies, through our veiled perspective about life. 

The spiritual student is a spiritual warrior. He/she sees the world as their opportunity to grow out of old habits and old paradigms that were keeping them fettered to the illusion. Now they see the world for what it is: a neutral school of souls to uplift themselves from the darkness of their ignorance. Everything is a theatrical play put in place by your higher Self to uproot once and for all the limitations that acted on your being as shackles, as huge fetters of ignorance blocking your advancement. 

The world we experience will change radically in front of our very eyes if we shift from the perspective of the victim to that of a being that knows always that whatever happens in their existence in the human body is just a play of the universe testing, balancing, healing and transcending old patterns into an unveiled, better perspective on life and the path towards self-discovery. 

Be grateful to everyone that takes you out of balance, that shakes you out of your illusory cocoon. Onto this path you started walking, there are no enemies. Be grateful to events that are out of your ordinary routine because there lays the opportunity of growth. Every single event or person that brings you into a state where you can choose to feel victimized is a great chance to grow and leave behind unnecessary and old ways of perception. 

Say to yourself,” ok, this happened! What’s my role in it, what is the lesson, what is the reason” . Forget about blaming others because it is of no use, forget about blaming circumstances because it is a misconception. Nothing is random, nothing happens by chance. Be grateful to those that shake your peace, because they’re the reminders that you are either that peace no matter what is happening, or you are just another spiritual hypocrite. 

The brilliance of life will be noticed immediately after forgetting the victim’s way of thinking and being. Your flow in life will be smoother and what you experience will be seen in direct accordance with the Higher plan of your Self, where there are no random events or people, they all have a great role in our evolution. 

Everything carries in it a great danger or a great opportunity. It is only a matter of our choice what is going to be. “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger!”. Remember that and always take the right approach in whichever situation, take the juice of life and don’t allow nothing neither anyone drag you back to your old way of perception. Remember if you believe that your life is miserable and you are a victim of it and people, you will be enforcing that over and over again with your energy and thoughts. As soon as you shift, the paradigm will shift too and a veil will be lifted from you to grow further. 

That peace, that love, that bliss…

Once we taste a very good quality of Sencha tea, in my case my favorite is organic Midori No Kaori from Uji province in Japan, then everything else that is below that level no longer feels tasty as it used to be, all of the sudden they all feel fake, a very faint reminiscence of what true quality should taste like. 

As such with our true Being, once we get a glimpse of that inner Being that resides in all and everything, the peace that we feel (that is the emanation of the Being), is like the scent of the rose… invisible yet powerful and going beyond the limitations of the physical form. 

Sometimes we are dragged back into the vortex of Samsara, the very mundane life that we thought we uprooted but even if we allow ourselves to be blinded again for a while, we will long for that true essence which sheds light to the so called reality we are living in and makes it look like a black and white movie that can’t be mistaken for reality. 

At points the emotional turmoil captures our awareness and we lack that spiritual objectivity from before the upheaval, but deep inside ourselves that Being is slowly unveiled, like growing (although in reality nothing is growing, everything was always there, only under some heavy veils and distortions). As soon as the power of the emotions subsides, peace comes back in unless we are trying to draw conclusions, analyze and give meaning to things that have no meaning whatsoever. Whatever happens has no true purpose other than teaching you to accept and let go in each and every moment of Now. Thoughts are bombarding us with suggestions: do this, do that, don’t do this and that, leave, run, attack.. 

The best approach is to smile or even laugh out loud. It’s at that moment that all the power that we invested our mind with is similar to the power that we give to the government and politicians that are no longer working in our best interest anymore,..everything fake falls into pieces by the Lotus feet of the Ultimate Existence – which we all are part of.  

Annihilate the mind projections and analysis, the thoughts and feelings and you are going to dive deep into your Being, no judgment, no projection, no concepts…Become pure perception, just pure unhindered existence. That’s who we all are. That peace, that Love, that bliss, that calmness and humbleness is who we truly are.

 All the rest, ideas, names, titles, possessions, attire, and anything other than that are just separating tools, tools that empower the lower ego, the “little self” who is forever victimized and in fear, who judges and analyzes the experience through past traumas and distorted memories and is driven by the desire to control the external environment. 

When you are able to get even for a small amount of time away from the mind and ego and taste that inner Blissful Being, then you will have only one vision: how to expand that Being which is You and Everything, into transcending all the past ideas and rulers and becoming fully That which you have always been. 

The selfless person is not competing anymore for anything, because they know that what’s theirs is there without effort, without fighting (for it), just because of who they are, because they’re flowing with Life and know that what’s theirs to have cannot be taken away and they do not let the experience bound them. We are One and All already, why are you running for a minute portion when you are everything that ever was, is and will be. Don’t misinterpret the “without the effort” part, we still have to give our 100% in everything we do, yet it comes almost effortless since it is a flow of You in the experience.

Now sit back and watch everything from the point of view of the information you’ve received. Everything is empowered and created by you. All your pleasure and pain is just seeing your creation through a very narrow standing point. Once you transcend, the illusion seems like it lost its shine, you see the flaws of the narrative that’s supposed to keep you asleep, and the ephemeral nature of everything within it and now you know that you are immortal and you are going to Be, long after this whole movie will end!

Rely on nothing

We all have things, people and beliefs that define our position and keep us floating in this illusion. All these reference points are just anchors into this self-created illusion of our minds. Throughout our lives we are proven that all these reference points are not so important and in fact might be just our fear creating them as we are holding tight to a securing rope while being in a high ground. 

All these fake ideas are challenged by life and this is the reason why we experience mostly misery, because we are enforcing, creating and holding onto these fake props in this ephemeral existence while experiencing this human body. If we are aware enough and stop this frenzy of continuously defining the existence, analyzing and interpreting it, we would suddenly realize that we are just pure existence, as a tiny little particle unbound by anything, free in the infinity of the Void. But that may scare us, because we are so used to being tied up to some secure place, a rock, a building, a person, something that would feed us the illusion of safety. Forget about safety and you’ll experience the Self, that true Higher Being that you are and always have been. 

The need for safety comes from fear, comes from the conviction that we are in danger, comes from the ignorance of not knowing who and what we truly are, hence not trusting life fully. You should know that this is a game and all those concepts, ideas and beliefs are part of the game program to keep you ignorant, to keep you enslaved, to continuously feed it with your fears, insecurities, desires and continuously wasting your energy trying to fix and control things and people that aren’t fixable neither controllable. 

Wake up and start dropping everything that is so familiar, that gives you security, drop the idea of being a man or a woman and misogyny will vanish, feminism will vanish,.. Forget the color of your skin and there can be no racism. Let go of the desire to control and everything will be always as it should,.. Perfect! 

Do you see it? It’s not that we become knowledgeable and get rid of the ignorance by accumulating information, but by getting rid of all the information that we were storing and relying our reality upon. This is the thing no one wants to say, because it’s not easy to understand from a complex, logically and analytically inclined person. Drop all points of reference and ideas and the result will be the Ultimate knowledge dawning on your Being. 

From my observation I have noticed that it is very hard for people to let go of things that they believe that define who they are, a doctor (as an example) is not ready to accept its ignorance, because this is the “virus” that academic knowledge is planting into us, the belief that we know, which is the attribute of the very ignorant human. 

When true knowledge is born within we are suddenly realizing how ignorant we are (still) by still lacking the full image of everything and by realizing how different reality is, compared with what we were assuming and projecting that it was. Even when that inner knowledge is born inside, it is not enough for us to decide that we are now knowledgeable.

So to summarize: the true spiritual knowledge will be humbling us down; on the other hand the academic, dry and bookish knowledge is just feeding the ego and empowering the mind more and more until the moment of the rigidity reaches its pinnacle and that being will get to a point of no return in this lifetime, hence fast degradation of the physical body takes place culminating with the demise of the person. 

Imagine your existence in the middle of a canvas, with all those chords and safety ropes, all those needles pinning it into the center of that canvas as a captured insect pinned for the amusement and study of a biology student. You are there on that canvas almost unable to move because of all those things securing that position. As soon as you start cutting all that unnecessary things away, the movement of the being will slowly slowly enhance, until full freedom is achieved by removing the last chords and pins and realizing their obsolescence. The fake point in the middle of the canvas, that was imagined and created by the ego will disappear along with the canvas itself and the whole limited image about self and the surroundings are vanishing, knowing that we are not in a box or on a canvas, but we are in the Infinite Body of the Absolute, free to roam everywhere, free to explore the individual, limited experience in the world, but unbounded by it and with the full knowledge of being One with everything. 

By cutting everything that you are not, you discover slowly what you are truly, and the separation starts vanishing, because there has never been anything other than Yourself existing out there. 

Face yourself!

A beautiful, scented flower is not yelling: “Here,.. I am here! “, but it’s discovered and recognized by its beauty and its beautifully scented emanation. As such, truly evolved beings share their Being with everyone and everything they come into contact with, selflessly and without announcing anything.

Daily we might be touched by the Grace of such beings, but because they are not looking for recognition, the touch of Grace does its work in silence. As long as we look for approval and confirmation, we are just played by the ego, which might play this time a “saintly” role and might easily pass for the (higher) Self, yet it is not.

Best way to see if we are selfless and humble and not looking for recognition is to take a bill of 50 or 100 euros/dollars or according to the country we live in (a substantial amount of money or at least a big bill) and put it inside someone’s pocket or purse or hide it in their house without being seen, and leave without knowing if that person is going to find it, if they are grateful or not, or anything else, and without even thinking about it anymore… It’s a good test to humble ourselves down…and check and realize that we have a hidden desire to be recognized and praised or acknowledged.

This is one way of checking our ego level and training the mind not to attach itself anymore to the outcomes of our actions. When mind detaches itself from desires, objects, people, expectations and entitlements, the ego wanes more and more… And when the little ego is no longer there (in full control of us) , the true realization of “I am” dawns on us!

Truly evolved beings attract through their simplicity, humbleness, peaceful attitude, and their inner light shines silently touching everyone and everything they come in proximity with. Because they are not bound to the fake society morale or conditionings, because they are truly free, as no in-bondage person can be that freedom unless they have tasted it, they are mostly misinterpreted and misunderstood , yet they are not trying to prove their point, neither imposing themselves because they understand the perfection of everything in its apparent imperfection.

The higher the vibration level of one person is, more chances that he/she will be attracted to that Highly evolved (maybe self-realized) being because of the innate desire to be free that is embedded in all humans. But the higher that Being radiates, the more the chances of the “less evolved” one to have to face all the inner crap, demons and distortions that they’re having within.

“Normal” people (not realized yet) are similar to the principle of the communicating vessels, continuously exchanging energies with the environment and other beings. So when two people closely interact with each other they are going to be exchanging, and regulating their vibration exactly like communicating vessels do; so if one is more malefic than the other it will lower the vibration of the second one and implicitly the malefic one will be slightly influenced to the better by the other.

The deeper(closer) the connection the more acute is the transfer of energy. This is the reason why sexual intimacy has the potential to be highly detrimental when based on superficial carnal desire, but it can be a very good tool for those who are aware, like-minded and with similar interests and where there’s mutual respect and attraction mostly soul to soul rather than body to body (only), although the superficial bodily attraction might be there too as a confirmation of compatibility on all the planes.

Aware sexual intercourse should be the culmination of the beings compatibility, a merging of their existences on all plans, physical, mental and spiritual. This is the moment when the true soul’s alchemy will activate and become a tool in their spiritual quest towards rediscovery of their true Selves. Nowadays the whole narrative of the Matrix pushes people to engage and crave in depraved sexuality, where little or no true connection is present, hence instead of the sexuality becoming a wonderful tool in self-realization, it becomes an obstacle and a way to engross beings more and more into ignorance.

On the extreme part of the range of vibrations, highly vibrant persons are no longer affected by the low vibration ones, or the influence is insignificant, or immediately observed and consciously discarded. Same with a very malefic one, it’s highly unlikely that it will be affected positively significantly by the higher vibration.

So when a person that is in between, neither too bad nor enlightened meets one of the radiant beings, they will need to face all their inner dirt, traumas, weaknesses and distortions they have, because that pure light emanated by the evolved one will bring all that hidden negativity to the surface. Therefore the real Path within requires high level of courage, because we will need to face and accept (that inside us we have) all this darkness and very old negativity that we carry with us throughout eons.

Perceiving reality

Whatever is disturbing us outside, people, events, things and what not, are in fact a turbulence in our own field, a distorted way of externalizing what’s internal and seeing it in an obviously distorted way. Therefore patience in allowing life to unfold and time to unveil everything is mandatory for the spiritual adept since without patience we would be continuously pushed by the mind and its erroneous interpretation of existence, to take actions and say things that we might not want or we might regret later. 

The world we’re experiencing is perceived therefore in an erroneous way. Everything comes translated by the logic in something that resembles something that happened in the past, because this is the capacity of the limited mind to relate to past events and things it learned in order to decipher the present moment. The present moment is always altered by the past perception, that’s why all the wisdom that reached us from old times through scriptures or oral transmissions emphasizes over and over again living in the present moment.

We assume that we are doing it, yet besides the erroneous interpretation of the mind through past distortions (sometimes as old as from previous lives), we are always burdened by thoughts of past and future. We are always allowing that inner voice to distract us from whatever is NOW. That is the voice of the lower mind, the ego which is conservative(nothing to do with politics), which wants to be always in control and in its comfortable, known box and trying to prevent us at all costs from breaking the walls of our self-created prison, whilst our true perception of reality remains but a dream, some event that should be happening in a distant future. 

We are always wondering about past events, “what if I would have done this or that”, or future planning. Everything is very useless, its only purpose is to keep us enslaved and burdened by regrets and full of hopes,one more useless and illusory than the other. 

In hoping there’s a desire to control the outcome of our actions, we are trying to manipulate life’s flow towards something that we assume might be the best thing that could happen. True knowledge and wisdom comes with humbleness and knowing that we know so little, no matter how far we have reached, even when we reached the point of the self-born knowledge blooming within, there will still be an infinitesimal number of aspects of the world, ourselves and life that we are going to be ignorant about. 

The wise person is free from hopes, because inside he/she no longer desires to manipulate the flow of life, there’s total surrender to Life, trusting fully that whatever is unfolding is always the best experience for them to have. That makes them always at ease with themselves, and at peace with the external manifestation. Even in the midst of the storm they maintain their inner contentment and peace, knowing that nothing lasts forever in this experience and their actions come from that same root of sedateness and inner contentment aware of the illusory aspect of life. 

Be true to yourself

If we are true to ourselves we automatically become true to the world. Because whatever external people, things or events exist out there, it is our mind creating that, and whatever is inside gets manifested outside in the form of people, things and events. The more resolved our past traumas and events are the smoother the external world will flow. 

When we decide to be honest with ourselves, we would not be able to entertain some external person or thing that is not resonating with us anymore, but we will cut through the bullshit like a sharp knife, and not because we’re rude or lacking empathy or diplomacy, but we realize that we are supposed to be ourselves and stand by the truth that is within us. By wasting time with people that are not on the same frequency we exhaust ourselves and we are neither helping them and much less ourselves. We are depriving them of the lesson of proper boundaries and we are exhausting unnecessary energy. 

The same goes for partnerships, friends, family and acquaintances or strangers. Why would you entertain someone if you don’t want to? Why to continue talking or meeting someone that drains you? Isn’t it that you are just tricking yourself that you are being a good friend, person, lover, neighbor .. Or whatever “good” you project on yourself to be? 

Lack of proper action sometimes is the same thing as harming self and others. Lack of determination in implementing what’s best for us is not at all “being kind and/or compassionate with the other”, but the other way around, because not establishing proper boundaries also deprives the other side of having the proper experience to also wake up and work with themselves. 

But let’s forget about the others. Let’s say that we want someone, we need a partner, a lover. At first we have all these ideas of I want him/her to be like this and like that and I definitely don’t want him/her to have this or that features. But as time goes by our neediness grows, so directly proportionally our standards lower and we are ready to accept things that in the beginning we were 100% sure we didn’t want to have. 

Eventually the hormones might push us into lower and lower vibration and we might be ready to accept many red flags just for the sake of satisfying the lower mind and body needs. It’s an experience that might transform into a trap. It may be good if it happened, you had it and let it go. The problem appears when we enter relationships with the wrong or let’s say inappropriate reason. Why? Because sexual intimacy or (just) external superficial attraction shouldn’t be the reason for us getting into a relationship, it means that the whole foundation is rotten. It means that our home’s foundation is made of clay and with time the sturdiness of the foundation will be tested and indubitably that construct will collapse under the heavy weight of vibrational, spiritual and mental mismatch. 

The more we stay in this types of relationships the more we will suffer, because through numbing our intuition and denial of the obvious, attachments are created, unhealthy projections and hopes are coming to existence and it will make the break-up more painful. On the other hand whatever is true and supposed to be there will unfold in a natural, beautiful way although relationships where there’s only peace love and harmony might be an utopic idea in this era.

When we are honest with ourselves, we are honest with the world and although we will lose a huge amount of (unnecessary) people, rest assured that we are heading towards knowing how our life is supposed to be, not what we were projecting onto it. 

On the other hand we shouldn’t project too many qualities or what the future partner should have or not, rather learn to flow with life, to listen to your Being, your heart and intuition, learn to see everything from the inner contentment feeling in which you are complete and devoid of “needs” or “wants”, and whatever is supposed to be yours will appear on its own. Appearance of its own doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t do anything towards that goal (of having someone) if that’s how we feel. Choose wisely by cutting through the past distortions and tendencies that threw you over and over again into similar distorted relationships and you will step out of the lower flow. Observe life through that inner contentment and you will be able to accept being alone or with someone as being equally acceptable. 

There’s a saying that the one that’s the most patient will reap the ripest fruit. If you are experiencing a period of being alone, enjoy it. Take it as an opportunity to work your crap out, take it as a period of time for reflection and contemplation. Whatever is there it’s the best thing that can happen to you. Especially when you are honest with yourself. The more honest you are, the more free you will become. The more you love yourself, the more you will love everything and everyone in a very unconditional way. But don’t confuse the unconditional love towards the world and the existence, with the new-agey nonsense that you have to be good, do good and everything is pink clouds and unicorns. That’s again dishonesty to self. Find out who you are and own it! Embrace it with good and bad features, with qualities and shortcomings, because that is how you came to experience life.

There’s no malicious act if you’re acting, talking and being from that inner peace, the inner contentment that’s the essence of our Being. Therefore if you are more and more aligned with that Being that lies hidden inside of whatever living being at any point of time, then you can never go wrong,.. Whatever you might be saying or doing will be in perfect alignment with the Life itself regardless of how external people might perceive it. Life will then flow through your Being and through you people will get their own lessons without any effort or without you even noticing or wanting it. 

Be true to yourself and automatically you will be true to the external existence, hence there’s no need to further analyze your actions and speech.. Trust and love yourself and your life will become a synchronistic course of events.. Flow with life and know that you are being taken care of. 

You are being taken care of

 Like the fetus is taken care of in the womb of the mother, as such we are continuously nourished and taken care of by Life (by the Almighty/Absolute/Brahman). In reality we are never missing anything, everything is provided. But the mind is the one that chooses separation, chooses ephemeral pursuits that are just transforming us into silly ant-like beings anxious and ever-working to see their silly desires fulfilled. 

 This state is due to allowing the mind to rule us, to advise, to fantasize. Let it rest. Hold yourself still!, not wanting, neither doing anything. The agents of the mind are the 5 senses. Mind itself is the agent of the illusion. Desires are born out of thoughts. Actions are born out of desires. The result is ignorance and uselessness and eventually death and rebirth into a perpetual game that happens only inside our minds. 

Many scriptures warn people of the danger of pursuing anything in this realm. It’s all just fantasy. More so, it throws one in the whirlpool of the very duality. And since we crave, the “good” seems like vanishing in moments, whereas the “bad” looks like being eternal. It’s all just an illusion, self-created by allowing the senses at first to fix onto a being, an object, an idea…and then to many. Then the thought of “I should have that”; it all cascades into the willpower and action taking over and bringing something from the dream state (the idea/thought) to fruition into the material world. But the struggle, the pain that comes with that object of our desires is not worth. Even when we achieve that goal, that will not last long. Without realizing that everything is the same, we create another want, another goal in our eternal struggle to satisfy the senses. It’s a Sisyphus job, an eternal struggle that will have inevitably and indubitably the same result: pain and misery. A night of enjoying the love of the partner seems like a very minute fraction of a lifetime, while being apart for the same amount of time seems painful and long as the eternity itself. In the amazing scripture of Yoga Vasistha is written that this is how the world was constructed, so wise people can realize the futility of chasing the objects of their desires which in reality are not theirs since the true Self is just Being, forever observing and non-interfering, devoid of any joy or grief or any other similar example of dual experiences. 

How about starting to count your blessings? Realize that you are taken care of, regardless of what you believe you might be missing at the moment. Everything is perfect. When we stop controlling life becomes a flow of events that are following a Divine mandate. All will be synchronized and brought to fruition as it was pre-planned. Our arrogance in believing that we know better what is good for us and pursuing this path is the path of self-destruction. 

Look at a delicious piece of cake. So tasty, so sweet and yet how long can you enjoy it? 5-10 minutes? Then it adds to the struggle that your body is experiencing trying to keep you healthy, trying to fight the acidity, to keep you functioning. It affects the mind, the senses also it affects us on a very vibration level. After eating sweets there are so many unfortunate outcomes that we are unaware of, our mind and body become restless, our natural morale is dropping, unhealthy libido is gaining momentum and we dive into a lower level of being… Moments of ephemeral pleasure are transformed into lives of misery and pain. Is it worthwhile? It all can be extrapolated to all our cravings and desires. We sometimes cheat, lie, steal or do all sorts of things in order to achieve these ephemeral pleasures or things, and we are unawares that the price is too much to be worthwhile, and all this happens to keep us in bondage. 

We run away from pains and we run towards “happiness”; it’s our little program running us from behind the scenes. Pain and pleasure, one more illusory than the other. When there’s no “want” everything is provided, everything is taken care of,we finally abide in our natural state of contentment. When you don’t want anything anymore, you stop the fantasy, the body is resting, healing and rejuvenating even whilst working or performing any activity. 

This world is perfect for creating addictive personalities. We are all addicted to multiple things, feelings and we are full of desires. Try to slowly empty your existence of desires and the true knowledge will unfold within. Separation is an illusion. Unity is there at all times, yet whilst in the midst of the torment of thoughts and desires, the Unity is just a mere, abstract and fictitious concept. When we are emptying ourselves of “wants” and “needs”, life will give whatever is rightfully ours and we were unconsciously blocking by assuming that we know what we want, what is good for us. 

A hamster in its wheel

Oh silly happiness seeker, dreaming about an illusion. The illusion is eating your brain like the maggots are feasting from the carcasse’s flesh. Why are you longing for chimeras? Why can’t you just be, without projections neither desire, and you can see that the thing that you are looking for in the world exists inside of you, in the form of peace and stillness. You are already there, only unaware of it.
This world feeds out of people’s desire for happiness. Just like little mice in their wheels; powering and empowering the matrix with every craving and desire.

And when they’ve found that “happiness” they’ll have to taste disappointment again, cause whatever they’ve found is but temporary. If they (we) would know all this deep inside themselves they wouldn’t pray to gods anymore, but gods will pray to them, since the shackles of ignorance will be shattered by surrendering desires, the true Godliness will emerge.
I am myself a mouse in its wheel ; and the harder I try to reach my goals, the more exhausted I am, and the result invariably the same: failure. If the poor mouse would be able to realize that there’s nowhere to go, neither anything to achieve, in that very second the mouse will be God.

Flow

People are expecting some sort of external saviors to come for the rescue; aliens, angels, energies from the space, unicorns and what not.. It’s because we are just addicts and lazy… We want to be saved instead of working our crap out and realizing that whatever 5-10D we are dreaming about it’s right here and now, but we are still ignorant and low and we believe that by dreaming about pink clouds and other new-agey stuff we’re going to be evolving… Wake up… Start cleaning up your own house, don’t expect others to come do that for you, because you did that life after life after life,… Now it’s time to take responsibility for your life and to acknowledge and accept that you are having both polarities represented inside of you since you are in duality,.. So denying one of the polarities(generally we ignore the negative) will only swipe the dirt under the rug where it will grow and eventually blow up into your face.

What’s the difference between now and 2000 when ppl were expecting changes, evolution, cataclysmic events and so on… Then Nibiru, then 3 days of darkness, then 2012 then what not…

Maybe we should just leave this game of hope and fear and own our shit (the so called reality we live in) and live with it and remember that we are One with everything.

Unfortunately we are diving deeper into Kali Yuga, a. k. a. the age of darkness so the dark is getting darker and the shit is about to hit the fan (excuse my French)… So just work with yourself, remove unnecessary things, stop being an addict, work your child traumas and see that you are here to do that with yourself and unless you did that, you can’t assume how it is to be evolved because it’s the same like a dog would assume how it is to be a human and it can’t, because it’ll filter all its projections through the limited dog consciousness. Just arm yourself with courage and willpower, humbleness and discover your inner purity and life itself will start flowing in a proper way, and you will be touched by the Grace.

Unfortunately the majority are just dreaming and assuming that they’re ascending.. Nowhere to ascend, we are already That, the Eternal, the Omnipresent, the Omnipotent.. Nowhere to go,… Nothing to change..
That’s why own life as it is, and it’s not made of pink clouds at all.

Life is actually if properly analyzed a never ending montagne-russe with good things followed by bad ones.. From a normal human perspective looks mostly negative. I would say it’s neutral, only our interpretation gives it a meaning and a polarity, otherwise it is pure experience and nothing more.
Once we change the perception everything changes. We are living in a mind construct and everything is upside down, hence whatever medicine is bitter and the sweet does you harm. Embrace challenges, traumas and dramas,.. Dig deep into them and see what have you contributed to that to happen. Don’t blame anyone (not even yourself), forgive and let go… Flow. As long as you dream about some energies that will shift you and take you into a different dimension, you are just running away from yourself and the life that you chose to have (previous to be born).

If you remember that no matter what you do or experience, everything is correct, instead of too much indulging into good things and lamenting when bad things happen, you just own them and see the amazing life teaching inside them all and fix a smile on your face no matter what and know that the true evolution is through hardships, learning from them. The good things if we dive too much into them have the potential to make us addicted to that kick of endorphins and other hormones, but they should be instead just a moment of rest on the steep road towards discovering Ourselves, and embrace challenges which are the climbing on that steep path.

May all of you who are ripe be touched by the Grace!!! (Although we are all – regardless if evolved or not – just bathing in It).

Courage is required, because we are going to face ourselves and our biggest enemy which is the wrong-ego… All our demons and enemies are just ourselves, so accept everything and transform!

May the Ultimate Existence that we all are bless you!

By the way I highly recommend people who resonated with what I wrote to watch the movie Revolver of Guy Ritchie, and probably you will need to watch it minimum 2-3 times to get the full juice out of it. (I watched it 6-7 times and I still discover new ideas)

Working with distortions

When we are being triggered by something or someone’s actions or words, it means that that distortion is inside of us and that person or event was just an external stimulus to something that was previously existing inside of us in the form of a distorted understanding of life and its neutrality.

I believe that there was a traumatic event in everyone’s childhood or youth in which we felt low, hurt, not worthy, alone and/or not taken into consideration, therefore we created a “strong me” image yet in reality it might not be quite as it may look. We might believe that being vulnerable makes us weak, yet we become strong by overcoming that identification of the adult and independent self that we are showing at the moment with the helpless little hurt child from the past.

We are all victimized to a certain extent. But when we react to a certain stimulus it means that that trigger (stimulus) touched a soft spot, brought a weakness into our awareness and that should be happily embraced as a huge potential for transcending past distortions which are plaguing our present and inevitably the future too. Therefore we shouldn’t point fingers outside to the stimuli(people or events), but see what is the issue that the trigger uncovered. So our reactions to those stimuli are unfolding a certain traumatic event(from childhood) that has been misinterpreted and/or swiped under the rug, and no matter what is that event, the idea is to break away from the victim mentality, knowing that we are definitely not victims of events or people but rather creators and we are supposed to take full responsibility.

Taking responsibility and accepting whatever is happening is an evolutionary step forward, and other, deeper distortions will come forth to be worked with as soon as we have worked the ones that are brought to our attention today.
If we choose not to, it’s fine, it’s our choice… Yet life might push people and events to trigger that soft spot until we either transcend it by accepting and realizing that only our limited perception and interpretation made it such a big deal, or until we will succumb under the external pressure and our inner resistance to change.

Change is inevitable, as certain as death and taxes, but awareness about the eternal changing nature of life and realization and acceptance of it will bring tremendous peace and wisdom.

Just a random flow of words

We are captured in a game by our own addiction to dopamine and endorphins. This secret was definitely captured and kept even more secret by the companies that are ruling the world at the moment and make money from us because we are just a product for them, which is sold to other companies in the name of profit, control and power. 

Before the technological times we were still addicted to chemical pleasure induced by endorphins and dopamine but there were different stimuli which are still active like good food, alcohol, sex and any activities that are creating pleasure for us the human beings. Now everything is played at a very different level, because of the technology we are more and more addicted and controlled. 

Let’s take the example of a simple computer game, it has embedded a system of “stick and carrot” that turn them to be very addictive, because by default we are going to be fighting for that carrot and avoiding as much as possible the stick. But the fault of these games at the beginning (according to the creators) it was that they were ending in matter of days, weeks or maximum months so the grip of the illusion was loosing its power and that meant that they’ve lost their clients. All the games created nowadays are endless, created to keep us in a continuous loop of unawareness and submission, hoping for that little kick of dopamine that will make us feel “happy”. The same principles are applied in social media. Likes, hearts and flames among others are irresistible goals for the nowadays people. The very psychology is dissected and used against us to keep us in a inception-like reality, like a dream in a dream.

All the social media, game industry, fashion industry and everything adapted to create this apparent “perpetuum mobile” that will maintain us in a chemically induced submission of our will and inner power. The medical and pharmaceutical systems are functioning in the same way. Why would they heal the world? Wouldn’t that mean that it will be the end of their businesses? Why would the weapon industry want to create peace? Wouldn’t that (the peace) end the life of their businesses – a mammoth of war composed out of companies that are sucking the countries dry by speculation of differences? 

We are now being played by the differences, all the things that are differentiating us are used, manipulated in order to create smaller and smaller factions that will make us feel separated from the only group that we truly belong – the earthly beings. Now people self identify as gay, hetero, catholic, agnostic, muslim, female, male, trans, black, latino and what not. In reality we are all beings. We are played by our own narcissistic desire to feel special, different, to feel more important than others. Divide et impera, is used as the means to create rapture between us. Families are torn apart, friends and neighbors are now split because of politics and separation of race, because of believing in different things, because one believes in the government and the other in the extreme corruption of that government, because of sexual choices and whatever they might find as a means to separate. 

Separation is the key to destruction! 

To counter it, see everyone as yourself, as your child, mother, father, sister… Start seeing what unites us all, because what separates is out there every day trumpeted and enhanced by the media, by the government, by all the entities that feed out of our separation. Start realizing and remembering that we are all just Light of the Divine, deprived of the memory of being Divine, split into billions of tiny particles and inhabiting temporary intelligent constructs made of flesh, bones, cartilages and muscles, supposed to find our way back. 

The way back is through unity. The way back is acceptance of the inner and outer flow, of the inner and outer corruption, of the inner and outer purity… Everything is to be accepted and received without emotions. Be in the world but not of the world! Somewhere deep inside yourself you KNOW that we are all One,.. you still feel that it is true yet in this identification with the body and the ego, the information is canceled and misunderstood. Be (like) a caring mother for everyone and the world will unfold differently. We are living in a world where several timelines and dimensions are coexisting, as such many people living in an apparent hellish realm could have a good life or experience and vice-versa; people that are living in a paradisiacal environment can feel and experience the living hell. 

Once our perception changes, the outer world will be changing. Everything is inside ourselves in the form of distortions and tendencies and projected by our minds outside; like that, the illusion is born! 

World is a mind construct. Once you control the mind, you are free from the fetters of bondage. Once the mind stops, the turmoil ceases too. Try it and convince yourself! 

In the end, there can be only One

The experience of the duality of the world has one purpose only: to realize the futility of chasing desires and material pursuits and people. The duality when observed with awareness is containing in it the realization of the Absolute as being the one to be sought rather than illusory pursuits as mice in their wheels. The biggest teaching of this world is the “bad” and “uncomfortable” since these are making us search for a solution, for answers to the question “Why?”. The Absolute, the Eternal is hidden behind the scenes, in the very fabric of all and everything, therefore deciding that “this is good” and “that is bad” is misconception and keeping us far from the realization of the truth.

If the world would have been constructed on “goodness” only, everyone would have been only enjoying their sweet forgetfulness of everything since it’s in our nature that we try to preserve the “good” experience for as much as possible. The mechanics of the illusion are such that a good experience even if it lasts years seems like passing so fast whereas the “bad” experience seems like lasting forever and it is all because of our desire to prolong the “good” and shorten the “bad”.

As soon as the differentiation disappears everything becomes neutral and transitory. In the moment of contraction, of feeling bad which immediately creates the desire to stop it or to run away, the mechanics of the illusion are stretching the time. It may look cruel for someone or something to create a trap like this. But it’s because we are the Ultimate, and we created such an elaborate trap that is capable to keep ensnared the oblivious Divine Beings. Anything less than that would have been like a test that comes with the answers written under the questions. 

It takes huge power of discrimination and dedication to exit the trap that we prepared for ourselves. It’s but a game of hide and seek that has been won already. All the particles of the Divine scattered in all the Realms are going to find one day their way Home. There’s no other way. The only thing that differs is when. But even the notion of time is bounding us when in reality for the Absolute there’s no time or space limitation whatsoever.

Some of us have a call to realize themselves earlier, some want to dive into the illusion more and more and lose themselves. Is there anything correct or incorrect? I believe that there’s no such separation, after all is the individual soul choice plus a certain predestination according to previous existence. In the end, for all of us there’s nothing but coming home, diving back into the primordial Being, into the Nothingness out of which everything sprouted. 

For some it may sound scary , they’re afraid that we as individuals will be gone, since the tiny droplet of water unites back with the ocean of provenance. But that is just the trick of ego, the little self which is unaware of the fact that being a tiny particle devoid of its divinity the whole experience is limited and corrupted, but when we get back to being One with the Absolute, with the Consciousness, then we are one and Many and there’s no differentiation, we are collective, we are there the Ego(knowledge that we are all and nothing – and we are limitless), the very everything that we are oblivious of right now. So holding onto the illusion is one of the smartest tricks of Maya, because it’s like we are struggling to keep ourselves in a tiny box forever, fearful of the unknown instead of experiencing Everything realizing that there’s no time-space boundary nor any other type of other boundaries for the Source.

Just think about it; what an elaborate and complex game of souls we are experiencing; the range of feelings and perceptions, the uniqueness of the experience for each individual. The multitude of interpretations and explanations of the world and its experience by each of us. I am sure that if we would be able to realize that we are watching a very elaborate movie in which we have the opportunity to be actors, spectators, producers, directors and what not… We would definitely remain in awe of the audacity of the Creator to throw such amazing ideas and twists for little pieces of Itself to experience, in order to make them aware of their origin when all the other solutions were proven incorrect, and push them to wake up to their true Selves. 

Mind – The master of puppets

The root of the suffering in the world is the mind and its creation. Although we believe that we perceive the world in an objective way through our five senses, the reality is different. Our senses are very limited, having a very limited range of perception like an old radio that has a short bandwidth and is unable to catch the majority of the radio stations. All the parameters that come through the senses are gathered and interpreted by the mind in a twisted way. Why twisted? Because the mind is creating an image mostly based on past experiences and beliefs and also  on the limited sense perception. So we already have a distorted image created in front of our eyes, and that is without mentioning the last ingredient that distorts even more the image about the existence and how we perceive it. This last unfortunate ingredient that is making us drown more into illusion (self-created) is the emotions. 

The world around us is neutral in its pure nature, there’s nothing good nor bad, nothing ugly nor beautiful; it all just IS. The world is like an empty canvas, untouched yet, or we can say that it’s a very plain image without too much of anything in it. How does the image get created? The “drawing” appears through interpretation (of the mind – of course). Fake colors and images are added onto the canvas by misinterpreting and judging the neutral image through our previously mentioned altering elements. The reason for our suffering is our constant analysis and interpretation of life through emotional distortions and past programs (computer-like), cunningly implemented by Maya (the illusion) to capture us in its snare. 

Let’s say we see the cloudy sky. Automatically the mind starts creating thoughts: “it might rain”, “I don’t have the umbrella”, “I might get wet”, “I hate it when I am wet, I’ll be cold”. It’s almost like you can feel the cold of your wet body! But hey, it’s all a fantasy, it didn’t happen, or at least not yet, and you have already created a drama out of just some normal event which already alters the way you feel because the adrenals already secreted cortisol because the mind already created a “threat”. So, our mind is very good at projecting and complicating things, therefore our life is a mere projection of our insecurities, emotions and past experiences which get replicated over and over again because we can’t let go of everything and just observe, without interpretation, without whining, without complaining – just pure acceptance. 

All the good and bad in our life is created by the mind. It all starts with a thought. All the thoughts are detrimental to our true evolution. True, perfect(-ed) beings are thoughtless, just flowing with their being. There are less perfect people, still more advanced than the average, that are aware of the flow of thoughts, of the mechanics of their creation, they can’t (yet) be thoughtless yet they are not allowing them to proliferate, to alter their beings anymore. They know that thoughts are not theirs, they don’t identify themselves with the lower mind projections, so they continuously discard the thoughts as they come, no matter what type of thoughts. 

The so-called normal person is unaware of this aspect of their mind, hence they go with whatever thoughts they have, assuming that they are the creators of the thoughts so they are going to act upon “their” thoughts. The thoughts are waves created by the powerful mind which in its essence is boundless, omniscient and omnipotent, yet that capacity is not known yet, therefore remains unused. Thoughts can be easily picked-up or forced upon us by people or other entities. Being of a wave-form construct, the thoughts can be hacked and influenced. The influence can come willingly and unwillingly. The willing type of influence is happening when someone exerts willpower to manipulate the flow and direction of your thoughts based on their agenda. These people are either magicians, sorcerers or any other person who uses occult ways to manipulate reality and the second type are the corporations nowadays and governments who are manipulating public opinion through the mass-media and any other means. 

The unwilling type of manipulation of thoughts is happening when we are affected by egregores. Egregores are invisible big clusters of thoughts and tendencies that are specific to a group of people, country, ethnicity and so on. In bars and pubs there are egregores which will make it easier for us to drink, gossip, take drugs, or crave for sexual activity. In a mall and around we will feel like buying and spending time there or we feeling like doing whatever that egregor influences us into doing. 

So we are in continuous war. A war of our higher Being, which is thoughtless, pure, made of light, and devoid of interpretation and the whole illusion. That’s why the true spiritual paths are always recommending us to become thoughtless. 

From my experience all the addictions and desires have their origin in a thought. If we pay attention to that thought, the mind will create another and another that will make you say or do something towards the agenda behind that thought. Mainly the agenda is to keep us busy and in a low frequency. If we have thoughts but we discard them, not acting upon them, they will eventually vanish. 

Remove distraction if you chose to perfect yourself. Slowly eliminate everything that imposes a flow of emotions and thoughts that are pulling you in the illusion. Music, TV, playing games, Netflix; the desire to constantly entertain ourselves is detrimental and should be gradually removed.

Constantly be aware of the flow of the thoughts (I avoided on purpose to say “your thoughts” because true existence is thoughtless). If we are aware and on the observation mode we can find a way to figure out their mechanics. Thoughts are keeping us in stress, it appears that there’s always something to do, something to say, to plan and to solve. In reality life takes care of everything. Do 100% of what your duties are, but forget about them as soon as you finished. Live your life by serving others – knowing that we are all a representation of the Divine Ultimate Being, so that’s the explanation why the ego is detrimental, because it separates things, when we are all One! 

Chintamani Gem

We are not only living in God, in the Absolute, filling us with it from within and enveloping us and the world from without, but we are continuously exposed to the true liberating knowledge which lays hidden in plain sight, like the sun is always visible in the sky yet we fail to understand its true meaning, nature and existence.

Once we take the hard path to cleaning our being of the unnecessary, Grace makes its appearance and removes certain veils or obstacles just enough to make the journey a bit less than impossible. By cultivating our inner purity, selflessness, patience and humbleness the Knowledge reveals to ourselves and we remain in awe how simple and close to us all was the real information for the whole time. Things that in the past seemed to be gibberish or too abstract for us to even “waste our time” with, are shining bright into our minds and hearts and the true Existence is slowly revealing itself to us.


I am very grateful for all the great people that I have met and for all the amazing scriptures that I got my hands on, it was all made possible by the Grace of the Absolute. There is no mistake anymore. All the “mistakes” and “errors” are but part of the “Plan”, part of the great Revelation of the Almighty. It is so awesome that I have tears in my eyes while writing this and I hope that many of you will reach this point of recognizing the Grace of God in our lives. Many people felt it, wrote poems, prose, and sang their joy, the joy of remembering, the joy of knowing. Through the ocean of writings that exist in this world, there are many gems written by the very Spirit that permeates us all. They are but impossible to find for the unripe soul, even if the scriptures would be in his/her library, they would fail to release their Light (True knowledge) until the time is right and that person proved its worthiness. It is like a story I read about a seeker that found the most valuable and priceless gem in the world and because he didn’t believe himself to be finding that easy such a priceless object although he was looking for it, he threw away his finding and he continued searching for something that he already had in his hands. Eventually he found some bracelet made of shells and colored glass and he was happy to have found that, assuming that that must have been the Gem of gems that he was looking for, yet it was just a trinket.
I will explain this parable, because it is similar to the spiritual seekers, who by Grace may have touched the true Knowledge and / or got to meet the true preceptor but because their mind wants complication, methods and concepts, and because they fail to understand that the true preceptor will not come or look as in their projections and expectations, so they have thrown away their own priceless Diamond and exchange it for many colored pieces of glass and shell shards – fake gurus that have shining attire and mesmerizing talks and shows.

The true seeker, once he finds that gem, puts it inside their heart and mind and hold to that, knowing that it’s by merit and Grace that they were allowed to find that Gem and they will hold it for the rest of their existence very dear to them, knowing that that luminous Gem is their chance to transform into a Gem themselves.

This true Gem, the Chintamani Gem, is getting into one’s life to empower that being (the seeker) into becoming a true effulgence of the Divine Light themselves. The fake ones want the entire shine for their own, disempowering the prey just like spiders catch their prey in their snares and keep them alive to suck their vital energy. Their words may say otherwise yet their actions speak for themselves.

The biggest misconception



The biggest misconception that our mind serves us is that we are limited to the boundaries of our own bodies. That’s the invisible cell wall of our self-created prison.


I read in Yoga Vasistha, that the ignorant sees the golden bracelet in the form of just a bracelet and forgets the gold that is the essence of the bracelet. As such we are ignorant of the Supreme Self, that is the very essence of each and every manifested being or object. So let’s try to see deeper, because whatever is visible might be deluding and distracts us from recalling the Divine essence that imbues everything.
If we are That, the Absolute and Universes and everything inside and outside of them, how can we confine it to the limited bodies of ours, how can we limit ourselves to such a degree when we are Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient as our essence is. We are just different jewelry and accessories made out of the same priceless material – God/The Ultimate /That..


Now maybe you can have that “Eureka” moment like I had myself, realizing that although we are bound by will and desires of the mind to this existence in the human body, in reality we remain that same boundless Being of pure Light that has no limit neither is confined by anything. Whatever we were always searching for (as true spiritual pursuits) was already inside of us all the time and our only effort should be in eliminating the misconceptions through which we are held prisoners and these misconceptions are created by the master of them all – our lower mind.


To transcend the mind at first we must exert a huge amount of willpower, this exertion will not take us to any palpable result, but to the realization that the machinations of the mind – thoughts and desires – are not real, are just limitations and the cunning snare of the Illusion which is the mind itself building the illusion that we are surrounded by. So the exertion of power, and courage serves just as a proof of our determination which allows Grace to come and remove the veil, otherwise it’s as futile as action as applying sunscreen on a rainy day. I know what you think, but then can’t we just wait for the Grace to come and bring with it the peace and silence inside of the mind and remove its limitations and reveal the Mind which is an extension of the Mind of the Creator, of the Absolute? I wish it could be that easy, because through the “false” path of exertion and action we show our valor, our courage, our determination, sturdiness, patience, humbleness, purity and selflessness which are mandatory for the true Self-realization of who we truly are, like I said in previous articles, the Power is Intelligent in itself, being but an extension of the Absolute, so it can’t be tricked, bribed or be brought forcefully or prematurely.


So go on and show what you are made of, discover and dust off from the shelves of oblivion the qualities of which we are all made of – the qualities of the Supreme: purity, selflessness, contentment, non-judgment, non-differentiation, acceptance, humbleness, courage, unattached and unbound by any belief, concept or desire and discover those beautiful wings that you were carrying with you the whole time, spread them wide and remember how to fly, cause after all it must be like riding the bike, once you do it, you will always remember it.
Start cultivating these qualities, or better said remove those fake qualities of the ego and illusion to rediscover the simplicity and purity of the true Self. Force your attention onto every single second of your life, bring awareness in your life and let it be your forever partner in the world, because awareness is what differentiates us from the ignorant animal-like beings that are just like leafs in the wind of the ever-changing and consuming illusory world.

If we realize that there’s no I and me, or other, that we are all One and that One is All, how can we need any moral rule or laws to restrict our actions, when we know that the action against another being is directly against ourselves?

We are living in God



I have the feeling that already the title has intrigued you. This is my realization, so it is just my own personal perspective about this matter.


Let’s think that we’re a cell in some living being. Can we be aware that we are part of a being? My assumption is that we can’t, we’re just doing our (cell) job growing, dividing (self), and some specific tasks that all the cells have and that’s it. Likewise we, humans are in our greater majority unaware of what’s the system that we are part of, we are unaware of the planet which is our body that we are part of, as the cell being a part of a living being. As such through extrapolation maybe you can realize that all the multitude of universes, realms and dimensions are cells in the primordial Being which we can call God, the Absolute and so on.


Everything is like a game play; it’s like the imagination of a novel writer that decided to allow its intellect run freely, creating world after world, story after story each of them being illusion and reality in the same time. If the writer has no limits and is omnipotent, then It can make that illusion (that in which the limited/normal writer can’t expand further than putting it in a novel or into a movie) actually take place, exist like a multidimensional movie where the Ultimate took out of Self billions of little pieces that were deprived of their omniscience, omnipotence and all the other Supreme qualities and were scattered inside the movie that It created for no other purpose but to see if those little bits of itself will know how to come back to their origin, to recognize and remember who they truly are – All and Nothing – finding again their power which was always inside of themselves, being occulted from themselves, by the power of the dual game of Maha-Maya (the Great Illusion). And everything from the “Upper-Perspective” is always correct, always right. But if we take things out of the context, like seeing things only from this life’s perspective, then we are definitely subjective, hence incorrect in our assumptions.

Accept everything and you will enter into the Divine stream of Life. Oppose and you are creating more illusion and suffering for yourself. Take this life as a game, as a sports competition in which you are supposed to be fair-playing, humble yet powerful, knowledgeable yet not a show-off, seeing everything yet not judging, minding only your part in this game, without scattering yourself into caring what other people think, what others do or say. Become independent and fix that smile on your face in “good” or “bad” and the good and bad will just merge, and you will realize that the result is “That” , which you have always been, devoid of characteristics or tags, the Eternal stillness of the Intellect which is the Creator and Knower of everything.


Does a cell inside of our bodies feel alone ever? Aren’t there millions and billions other that make us whole? Therefore although we are alone in this game, from the point of view of the fact that we have to take full responsibility for everything that happens to us, yet we are always part of a system (like cells of a muscle being part of the muscular system that has countless numbers of similar cells). Pull your head from your bottom and see, open your eyes of the Intellect (the higher intelligence) and start seeing (knowing). Don’t think small. Look at the ants how ignorant they are of the curious people watching them; how easy it is for the observer to destroy them, or give them a huge amount of food or some other type of help, yet they’re still going to be ignorant of “who”, “what”, in which way and the whole reason behind it all. We are the same from the point of view of those watching us, yet that shouldn’t scare us neither should it bring despair, because the game is fair even for the ants, after they fulfilled their duties in the ant life they’re going to advance to their next level and eventually reaching that point of the person watching the ant-house. As such if we do our best, with humbleness, honesty (especially to self), with surrender, acceptance and letting go of everything, we are going to be free one day of this game of evolution, when we will realize that we have always been “there”, but we failed to see it by foolishly accepting the self-imposed limits and barriers through beliefs that were there only to be uprooted as the obstacles on the hurdling track being there to jump over.


Can a cell evolve out of its destined existence of being a cell and performing its tasks, and become more than a cell? Highly unlikely, but the human being can evolve for sure out of its limitations and realize its true nature.

Break the chain

We are very unhappy with people that hurt us throughout our lives and we find it very hard to forgive and forget what they did to us. I will try to offer you a different perspective that might change the way you look at these people. 

A boy is systematically beaten by the father, yet the boy loves the father. The boy is scared and feels like there’s no love coming from the father. He tends to look for any little sign of kindness and embraces that with joy as a sign of father’s love that he’s craving for although love seems to be missing. 

The boy is very likely to grow up hating the father and trying to get his revenge somewhat. He may grow up to be an aggressive man himself. He can incarnate in a future life and punish somehow the father for all the beating and torture. This is a vicious circle of karmic entanglement that not many people nowadays are able to break. In theory it must be easy, we just forgive and forget, we let go of whatever happened. In reality It’s very hard, I know it myself. 

But let me give you a wider image of the previous story. The boy and the father in previous life were lovers. The father was the female and the boy the lover. Their love was intense and they were unable to live without each other, they promised to each other that their love will last forever. He goes to the war and gets captured by the enemy. The woman receives news that he disappeared along with his unit and they are all considered dead. After suffering and crying she felt like suiciding but she couldn’t do it because of their little child that they had. So because being a lonely woman with a child was hard, she accepted to marry her old, unappealing to her – boss. 

Three years later after war was over, the man comes home to find his wife having another two kids with some other man. He was devastated and she felt very guilty and victimized. He started drinking and he died as a consequence of his alcohol addiction. She was very angry with him because he never forgave her, and didn’t even want to understand her situation. She died several years later. 

Because of the suffering when she was a woman, because she was sexualy abused during the period of the husband being a prisoner, she decides that she wants to be a man so she incarnates as a male. The boy sees with his unaltered consciousness (before incarnating again) that he exaggerated with his reaction and he decides to be born as the child of his former wife – now his father in order to try to pay his karma. Without knowing why (unconsciously) the father is continuously irritated by the child which is loving the father unconditionally. The father (as in the previous life) hates the child because that hatred came from the past life through entitlement, guilt and shame and other low vibrational emotions towards the unforgiving lover. 

Now the father is just fulfilling his role in this huge game of life. The game of life is always fair, only we lack the whole picture to realize that. The boy, now grown-up, decides to forgive the father from the bottom of his heart so he breaks the entanglement. But many people continue this game of ”I hit you and then you hit me” forever, that’s why they’re caught up in this trap that they have set for themselves. 

The same thing happens in the army, there were three stages of recruits: newcomers, middle boys and veterans. Always the veterans and the middle boys will make the newcomers lives miserable until they become themselves middle boys or veterans. Here, breaking the spell is harder since the entire group of veterans and middle boys are supposed to stop the mistreatment. But in our individual cases it should be easier. Forgive and forget everyone. Realize that they are paying you back for past deeds. Don’t punish, don’t take revenge. Break the chain, stop the curse that is throwing you back again and again into the game of punishing and being punished. Accept all the punishment that comes in your life with ease, know for sure that you are supposed to experience that and accept, surrender and let go. This is the shortcut to the self-realization. 

Our aggressors in this life were our victims in past lives. If you truly forgive them and send love and blessings to them instead of hatred and desire to revenge, you break the karmic chain. Once you break it, you start paying off all your debts. People may rob you, talk bad about you, they can cheat. Be happy! You are paying your debts. 

Thank them all inside of self. If you feel that is necessary you can do it in person also, but only if your intuition is advising you to do so, otherwise is might be not only unnecessary, but inadvisable. 

Life is made up of events that are always correct and aligned with the bigger picture (that we’re unable to see) in which we all play our roles in paying off our karmic debts and involuntarily we are tools in the hands of Life in making others pay off their debts. Vengeance is one of the biggest traps, everyone can be vengeful, everyone can be righteous. Forget about them all, especially righteousness which is the cunning hidden trap in everyone’s lives. Once someone said: “Would you rather be right or content?!” I know everybody feels like answering “content” yet when we find ourselves in the position of being right, oh it’s so hard to chose contentment. But slowly-slowly we can do it. It’s enough to want it, it’s enough to decide to break the chain of self-imposed slavery (by reincarnating over and over to punish our aggressors), and half of the work is done. The rest is acceptance of whatever comes your way, surrender onto whatever your Higher Self prepared for yourself and let go of any expectation, any projections, any memory of people hurting you, abusing you… Let them go with love. Those who hurt you have a great potential of creating a purer “you”, a more experienced, more loving, forgiving and more humble person. Thank them and love them instead of holding a grudge. This is the secret of truly breaking the karmic entanglement. 

In this world whatever is supposed to be ours will be and nothing is ever lost, if it is lost and doesn’t come back, it means that it was never yours. Someone stole something from you, be happy! It’s the easiest way to pay some past deed. Bless everyone in the process. Those who wish you good are there to ease the pressure. Those who are here to punish you are those who push you to thrive and break through. Like I stated before, in this world of duality everything has a double potential, it’s up to us what we choose. According to our choice of action and way of seeing the things, the aggressors can ruin our lives or push us to thrive. What’s your choice? 

Love and friendship

True selfless and sincere friendship nowadays is almost utopic. But in order to find such an utopia, first become that utopia yourself. Offer all those qualities which are found in the perfect friend. Be gentle, generous, kind, forgiving, understanding, soothing and nourishing your friends as you would do it for yourself. Do it selflessly and those who don’t qualify for being your friends will disappear by default or they’re going to show their true face, becoming entitled, arrogant, controlling and /or abusive. You will know what to do. The new “weapon” is free flowing of your true being, pure love and selflessness and whoever is not suitable with your flow you can remove by conscious decision or they will disappear themselves because of the energy mismatch.

True friends in this life will definitely not be many, and true friends are united by mutual respect  honesty and unconditional love. True friendship may be the best way to find our life partner. True friends are like-minded, they are complementing each other. As such if you find that person who is able to talk to you for hours and both feel pleasant and enjoy the talk, you should know that whenever physical beauty disappears, the mental, spiritual and emotional will be still there. So if you are falling in love with your best friend, if they are alone and the feeling is mutual, then you are one of very few very fortunate people in this dimension. Treasure and appreciate what you have found because it’s such a blessing from the Universe. 

But as a fire has to be taken care of and maintained by constant feeding it with combustible elements, similarly the true love and friendship has to be enforced by actions, emotions and words! 

Everyone knows nowadays to hurt others, to control or try to, to punish and to do low vibrational deeds, it’s so easy because the realm is mostly polarized towards the negative, but those who fight against the stream, against the “natural tendency” of the world, being humble and honest, loving and caring, understanding and forgiving,.. They’re going to reap the best of the fruits, rare fruits that are very scarcely appearing in the world, named true love and friendship. 

You don’t have it yet? It’s because you haven’t reached that vibration, because we attract what we are. If you attract fake people how does that make you? If you attract angry people, guess why? You got the point. In this world what you want to attract you have to become. You should become that without desire; you don’t decide I want to attract honest people, but you become honesty yourself and you will lose those who are no longer matching your vibration and you will open the gate for meeting people that are on the same page. 

Stop complaining, if you want love, be love yourself! But be aware because if you are throwing pearls before the swines that doesn’t make you loving, but stupid (and loving 😁). If you see that you are offering yourself honestly, free-flowing and people are becoming arrogant and cocky, trying to manipulate and take advantage of you, you block them from receiving your freely flowing love. Otherwise you deserve them. 

Plant before you harvest! Be vulnerable and honest but not stupid! Observe people how do they use your honest approach and your free flow, if they are not freely flowing themselves, fracture will be created and a huge precipice is growing between you too. You can give extra chances if you feel like they might deserve it, but if you see that nothing changes, probably it’s time to say goodbye to them. 

Let go of control otherwise you will encounter control freaks like you. Let go of expectations otherwise how can you meet something extraordinary? Don’t rely on your senses because they’re limited and they can trick you! Rely on your heart, on your inner gut feeling. When you will be talking to a person who is free flowing, your heart will be rejoicing, you will feel home, no matter if you are talking about some important topics or not. 

True friends might be coming to teach us, to scold us, to fight us, especially when you are wrong, because they want you good, they are not afraid to lose you, they are always themselves. Fake friends are avoiding confrontation, they are just minding their agenda and see only their comfort and fun as their purpose in the friendship. 

My well wishes to all of you, and remember to become what you are looking for!

This is what I feel about true friendship in this world, but it is just my opinion so from other people’s perspective I might be mistaken. If you disagree please leave me a message. I would love to hear your idea about this topic.

The dual potential of the experience

Life in its essence is extremely simple and its guidelines easy to follow for an aware being. The problem is that nowadays we are mostly navigating adrift, without a clue in this ocean called life. Everything that happens to us has the potential to destroy us (to drag us deeper into the illusion) or to uplift us, meaning to give us the tools for our conscious awakening, towards realizing who we are and what’s the purpose for incarnating in this particular realm in this particular day and age, but more so: the pain that we are supposed to notice, accept and work with in order for it to become obsolete.

Everything that happens to us is definitely something that we have to experience, especially since it happened already. The first thing we can do to properly address the matter is to accept it no matter how hard it is to do so.

Acceptance itself it’s such a powerful tool that reduces a lot the negative impact of some unfortunate happenings.

When we accept something that happens, we exit already the low vibrational vortex of victimization, whining, guilt, shame and other unnecessary emotions and feelings. If we truly accept something there’s no reason anymore to roam in what happened, we automatically step into the present moment and instead of asking ourselves how would it have been if we would have act or said something differently, – which is useless because that moment is gone, and there’s absolutely no reason to waste your time and energy accusing self or other/-s, trying to project potential other approaches – we should rather accept what happened. So once you have accepted, the “problem” is already half solved.  

Working with own faults, distortions and programs is way easier when those flaws are brought to the surface by a certain life event or triggered by a person in your life. I remember that someone asked me: “Well but how do I work my crap out?” 

The first step is noticing the existence of the “crap”, secondly you accept the fact that it is there inside yourself and that it is affecting your life, your decisions and the outcome of your actions. The worst mistake that we’ve all been through throughout our lives is to blame external actors (aggressors) and situations. Take full responsibility, there’s no other way. The third part is working with it. Accepting the responsibility for that character flaw (like victimization, narcissism, controlling nature, aggression, lying…) and be ready to watch with awareness that particular flaw (for the moment) and decide to consciously stop its influence in your life. One way of working with it would be to notice when was the first time that we remember a similar pain to the one that we’re experiencing in the present circumstance even if the events might look different and unrelated. Then we should start asking, like kids, “Why do I have this pain? Because I feel hurt. Why do I feel hurt? Because I did that. Why have I done that?”… and so on until you manage to get to the root of the problem. Probably it’s useless to repeat that this will not work unless a full openness and truthfulness to self is employed. Most likely the root cause of the problem is some misinterpretation of a childhood occurrence, an over-exaggerated perspective over that early experience. Or it can be even some very serious abuse, violation, violence or even small – totally silly for our mind now- events where we felt ashamed, guilty, abused, raped, betrayed, alone, deserted, sinful and so on… One way of transcending it is to consciously go in to that same situation and look at the actual event happening in front of you, you being the victim (as a child – in that moment) and you being an adult, now, a spectator to the whole drama. Feel that pain fully in your body, accept it if still there, because it will not go unless you are experiencing it fully, getting it exhausted. See it in a very detached way, forgive yourself and whoever was the trigger or aggressor, know that we are supposed to take full responsibility for everything that happens in our lives, and know that nobody is truly a victim. Know that you are lighter now, having a better chance to evolve out of your misery because of that event taking place. Hug that broken, hurt child that is suffering in the replayed memory, cry together if necessary, but then explain the child that everything that we are experiencing is necessary for our further growth and beyond everything that we’ve learned, everything is definitely correct and always in alignment with the Divine construct laws to which our lives abide as everything else in the Existence.

So keep always in mind the dual potential of whatever happens in your life and remember that it’s only us and our reactions to it that truly determines the outcome of that (otherwise neutral life circumstance). We are the only ones self-sabotaging our own lives by choosing always the same path, the old path that we know, the automatic response of the autopilot, the victimized perspective. Letting go with ease is crucial, it’s the choice that defines who we are at the moment. Surrender and let go of everything, embrace challenges, be always ready for change, embrace things that you used to run from, like facing problems, pains, hard work and struggle or new experiences that you would have passed in the past otherwise. In order for you to pick different fruits from your garden you have to definitely plant different trees. Old trees will invariably give the fruits that you already know. Without a new approach, everything will continue as previously, so there’s no one to blame for your life circumstances but yourself, your choices and past deeds. But “blaming” (as a choice of wording) can be misleading, so you shouldn’t even blame yourself. Don’t blame anyone, but instead take responsibility for everything and remember that the secret is in your actions or the lack of them, in what you say or what you don’t say. Study your own being and the knowledge that is scattered in millions of books and individuals, will be unfolding from within yourself with ease. It was always there hidden under tons of unnecessary junk that you started sorting out. You were always That which is the essence of everything surrounding us. Good luck with sorting that huge pile out, I got some crap to work with myself 😁.

Just Be

According to my understanding, true spiritual practice is not about repeating mantras, doing something in a ritualistic way, neither prayers, neither listening to hypnosis or self-hypnosis videos or audios, no binaural beats, no alien neither unicorn nor angel will come to save you. It’s only about hard work with ourselves and our distortions, our past programs and “viruses” that created our personality (ego). It’s a work of undoing rather than doing, unlearning rather than learning. Spirituality is not about readings or predictions, no healing neither removal of karma or obstacles, it’s the embracing of all of these previously mentioned because they are the very propellers of your spiritual evolution, there’s no other way. While we are on the escape mode, the “doors” towards true Spirituality are closed. Only when we understand that whatever baggage we came with we’ll have to exhaust not get rid of it or run away from. Embrace all your challenges, dive deep into the pain and you may get a chance to find out who you truly are, otherwise it’s another wasted life.

Yes, it may be possible to forcefully heal and remove obstacles but we don’t know what is the real pricetag behind it all, plus eventually you will still have to face the same amount of pain and stress otherwise, so eventually we are just delaying the inevitable or even worse postponing it for a later life. Since these troubles are here now, have them now, because you are aware, because you already reached the moment of understanding the whole mechanism. Later on in another life, the situation may be different, with extra karma to face from previous life (this one), with less awareness and maybe tougher external factors.

Instead of laziness and procrastination, instead of being a couch potato with a remote in the hand or some game controller, now it is about noticing our deeply engraved patterns into our very being, working with them, adjusting whatever we see unnecessary and enhancing those necessary. There’s no time to waste now that you realized that you have (again) a chance to evolve, although paradoxically we have all the time, because we are the time ourselves, only we’re unaware of that. On the other hand time is part of the illusion, because in Reality there’s no such a notion. But so far we are subjected to time and we are to respect our time and use it wisely.

Practice awareness at all time, ask yourself what would the old (unaware) self do or say in the actual situation and then ask yourself what can you do or say to improve the old-self contribution and step to a whole new level, creating( better said discovering) a new Self which is acting and talking from the Being rather than being on autopilot(ego + distortions). Notice patterns of victimization (when you feel that life is unfair, people are hurting you…), notice the desire to push people away from you, notice patterns of self-sabotage and act differently. Let people be who they are, the only thing you can do is to watch your own actions and reactions to people or various other stimuli.

Stop believing that everything is about you, stop seeing life in such an obtuse way. Learn to accept that although you are important especially for yourself, life is not spinning around you, you’re definitely not the bellybutton of the Universe. So stop taking things personally even when all the hints and reasoning are pointing toward that idea. If you start realizing that life is a series of things that are supposed to be experienced regardless of your interpretation of them, you might realize that life is neutral and always fair. If you are convinced that life is always fair with us, you will never suffer, you won’t feel like a victim anymore, you will feel like being a part of an amazing movie and you are fully in it with awareness, accepting all the twists and dramatic turns it may have, and receiving everything with an eternal smile in the corner of your mouth.

If we manage to see life as a very correct series of events, due to karma (good and bad) then we are becoming content because no matter what we’re experiencing, we are exhausting our karma be it good or bad and we are slowly removing veil after veil and layer after layer until we are going to find ourselves free, as we always have been devoid of roles, names or attributes, just Ourselves.

If whilst in the middle of drama you remember that you are exhausting past karma, are you still going to feel as bad as you used to feel? If you are sure that everything that happens is correct, can you blame people and stories, when you become aware that they’re just a Divine arrangement for you to exhaust your past mistakes? And know that we are never going to be experiencing more pain than we can handle or more pain than we offered from our end, so hang in there and try not to create some more entanglement (karma) in the process. Forget and forgive self and others. Finally you have a greater chance of success this life just for getting to read this, which for sure is nothing new, you feel it clicking inside and you might have had that “aha” moment. Enjoy the good moments because you earned them and try to enjoy or at least accept those “bad” ones.. Everything is for the best.

We are beings of light, voluntarily immersed in dirt and because of the immersion we identify ourselves with the dirt, yet we are light, tiny particles of light separated from the Primordial Light itself, ignorant of being That so we identify with the physical which is just a temporary experience. Is a piece of golden jewelry less gold just because it felt in the toilet? No! It can be washed and put back to its former beauty. Same with us, we are not our bodies neither our actions. Forgive yourself for whatever you have done previously and know that you did it because of ignorance, step out of your dirt(victimization, guilt, shame and other low vibrational programs), wash yourself from the dirt you have been living in (remove distortions and things less true that you have installed there as ultimate truths), and be born anew, know that there’s no limit to what you can become in this reality. Yes, cleaning yourself up is hard, painful and it requires huge amounts of courage, determination and Grace, but worry not, Grace is definitely with you since you are exposed to this information. And know that out of this experience you are already perfect, already part of That which is Everything and Nothing. Love yourself and everyone else since we are all just particles of the same fabric of the very Universe itself!

Is life an illusion?

We are mice in hamster wheels, and each time we breakthrough some limitations and we think we are free, we just go in a wider, bigger, more elaborated wheel in which we are running again in circles, in eternal loops of Maya. And even if we transcend and evolve out of the bigger wheel, I suspect that the number of wheels (illusions in The illusion, dream in the dream) could be infinite. That’s why I believe that without Grace, without someone who already walked the path towards freedom and reached a more advanced level than the one we’re in, it’s close to impossible. The Illusion is very hard to transcend since is the very inventivity of the Absolute which is playing through us a big Cosmic game of hide-and-seek. So I believe that if we try hard enough, if we are dedicated to transcending all the levels of the illusion with sturdiness and patience, Grace is definitely there with us, breaking doors that are over our power at the moment and throwing onto our path people and information that are crucial for our growth out of the self created prison.

The uselessness of lamenting or whining is obvious since there’s no benefit in doing it; whatever is done is done, accept, surrender and let go. As I am continuously emphasizing it, this is the path of the courageous, the humble and the the patient. There is no other way. People dream about doing it fast, taking some weekend course which will propel them to the “5th dimension” or who knows what, yet true Spirituality is gained through hard work, pain, courage and close-to-craziness sturdiness on the path. We will definitely fall thousands and hundreds of thousands times but each time we dust our clothes and start it all over again, even if we are stumbling on the same rock times and times again. Forgive yourself and everyone else and push your limits. Push your self-imposed boundaries onto yourself. There’s nothing really impossible yet if we believe in the impossibility of something, then we create that impossibility and we enforce it (unknowingly) with the power of our consciousness. 

We all come here with a certain amount of karma to exhaust, therefore accept all the hardships and all the failures, all the people that “help” you stumble with a smile on your face and know that you are one step closer to becoming purer each time you suffer, because you are paying the debts and hence clearing up your path for your further development. 

Do whatever you do with 100%+ effort but without expecting a certain outcome, because no matter what the result is, you’re winning: if you are getting the desired result – is the desired outcome, and if not then you’re paying your past karma so either way you should be happy. 

There is a fate for each and every one of us, even the gods are having a destiny, yet the Universe, the Illusion, gods and the Highest Power are moved by the effort that one exerts to grow out of fatality and they are bowing down to such power of determination and they might interfere to change the implacable. So there is a destiny, but with assiduous work we can change it (if initially it disfavors us). But if there was good destiny for some lazy person, that good potential is wasted and doesn’t come to fruition because of the laziness and inactivity. So to summarize don’t be a fatalist because you are going to be picking only the wrong results. Trust life fully and know that whatever you are going through it’s nothing but the best outcome for you and your spiritual evolution. 

I am

Today I feel perfect. There’s no special reason, no activity or food that might have stimulated the release of endorphins,… Not even feeling happy. I just feel complete, at ease, totally fine with what I have and what I lack in my life, hence there’s no missing feeling, no craving neither desire. I feel contentment. Of course due to the fact that there’s no disturbance, no drama we can say, that it’s kind of understandable. So the next target is to feel such feeling even during or after a less pleasant experience, during some emotional up or down.

I write this to remind myself who I truly am, devoid of needs and desires, devoid of interpretation. Life is not good neither bad, it just IS. As such we are neither good neither bad, neither happy nor unhappy. We just are!

Whatever life circumstance we’re in, we are exactly where we are supposed to be, so no need to be sad neither happy about it. What we definitely know for sure is that life is continuously changing, a continuous up and down game that we are supposed to master and when during both the currents we manage to stay still, then a certain evolutionary portal opens up and we find ourselves in a totally new dimension, a totally different paradigm.

I am single yet I don’t miss having someone, it’s not that I wouldn’t enjoy having a partner yet I no longer crave for having one, I am deeply surrendering to life and whatever experiences that I am supposed to be experiencing.

There’s definitely a lesson to be learned out of whatever life circumstance, hence I will enjoy and try to grasp the reason of being alone at the moment. I believe that it’s about self-love, truly selfless and non-narcissistic self-love that is based on the inner contentment that is the very foundation of the existence.

For me it’s a big breakthrough since my whole life I have been always the “doing” type of a person, so letting go of everything and learning to just be, accepting whatever circumstances was very hard. I have noticed that others are naturally less active more prone to inner peace and stillness, so I don’t know what their lesson is. But for my own experience, this is just the next step, the thing that I have to work for. As I realized that whenever we assume that we have reached a certain point of evolution from which we can never go back, the test arrive, exactly like in the schooling system where our knowledge assimilation is tested through exams.

I know from the experience that in the midst of the turmoil it’s very hard to remember that point of inner contentment, that inner peace that no one can take us out of. Therefore I write myself this article to be read in times of distress.

You are perfect, you are complete, you are at ease. Everything that happens is correct. Take full responsibility for whatever is happening and be happy that you are experiencing it. Acceptance and surrender are the requirements for the inner transformation of your perception. Perception(limited) is the very cancer of the spirit, we are continuously interpreting life events, people and whatever else through very limited tools like the 5 senses and previous experiences. It is time to accept everything. It is time to breathe slowly and remain calm, it is time to notice whatever happens from an external perspective as you would watch a movie. It is time to relax and be, instead of acting or reacting. Don’t say things, since when you say things during being angry, sad or under any other emotional effect you might tend to exaggerate and see the situation more acute than it really is. Know for a fact that whatever you experience it is mandatory for you to experience, it is part of the purging of the unnecessary out of your life. Rest right there experiencing fully whatever feelings you have at the moment, without associating your existence with those feelings. SMILE.

Life is testing your qualities in order to see if you resolved the issues that were bringing these situations to existence. Your calm, your patience, your forgiveness, your capacity to let go and to surrender to the life flow are deeply tested. Of course things might look like you are right and you are even right to take punitive actions against those who did “wrong” to you. This is one of the biggest tests that majority fail: the test of righteousness. In reality there’s nothing that entitles us to do harm in any way possible to another being, no matter what they did to us.

You’re in deep trouble? Don’t drag others with you even if you believe that they might deserve it. Let Life take care of everything, do not interfere. This is one of the first thing to be learned, not to interfere, to mind only our life and our choices.

Establishing proper boundaries is not considered wrong, because if we allow people to cross them, then we deserve the place on the evolutionary path that we are occupying. Don’t waste unnecessary time with people that you are not resonating with, just because you are too diplomatic or too educated to refuse them. Know what you want and what’s beneficial for you to do, or to say and act accordingly. If you dream about spirituality don’t separate life in different segments: in the morning when I wake up and meditate I am spiritual then I go to work and take a break from being spiritual.
Spirituality is everything, there’s no separation, let meditation permeate all of your being, may you become meditation no matter what are you doing. Stay aware the whole time and realize old patterns trying to drag you back to the “old” self. Realize that you are exposed over and over to similar situations so that you finally can realize that the same response will invariably bring back the same results that we are not happy with. Change the paradigm your mind is in, start seeing from different perspectives. Innovate with your behavior, try to implement the “spiritual” into the “mundane” and you will realize that there was never this separation, there is no separation between anything. We are all One and the same, we are made of same constituent elements, same energy of life is animating us, the differences are separation. We are Union(Yoga).


Are we spiritual seekers?

There are 3 types of paths chosen by souls looking for spirituality nowadays:

The first group, the power hungry (into the occult), are young souls (inexperienced – therefore they try everything) that want power and control over life and people and are mesmerized by the promise to rule over the matter. People hunger for power are weak and victimized beings that hope to be finally in control, after being controlled in the past. 

The second group, the “flower power”, are full of hope for a better world where pink clouds and unicorns are dancing with angels, aliens and other “benevolent” entities,  in other words hoping of a utopia where there’s nothing but “good” and love and so on and the negative side is minimized and sweeped under the rug. What they’re really ignorant is that in a world of polarities they can never have white without the black, happiness without unhappiness, love without hate and having (something/someone) without loosing that eventually. Their choice of spirituality comes also from a deep sense of feeling victims of life and of other beings. The majority of the mainstream religions are included in this group because they’re all emphasizing the need to reach out to the positive (paradise) without acknowledging the existence of both within and without ourselves. 

The third group, are old souls mainly which probably have tried the above mentioned trends and fell into it for lives and lives, and eventually got fed up with their failures and decided to try the real thing this life. They are all victimised to a certain degree, yet here, they realize that they are the creators of own life events and circumstances hence the need to take full responsibility for whatever happens without blaming or accusing others in the process. But they can always fall into the trap of going to one of the previously mentioned groups as being a familiar place to go and due to the hardships met. This group towards the end of their journey know that it’s futile to have any hope, and they have no desire towards any outcome whatsoever anymore,they are just living life consciously and working hard without any expectation towards achieving the fruits of their work, equally accepting whatever outcome and knowing that the true life lessons might come from unexpected and/or unwanted outcomes. 

The PH are ready to do whatever to see their hunger for power satiated, therefore most of the times they fall for worshipping entities, performing all kinds of rituals and sacrifices to appease those entities. What they’re not aware of, is the fact that the price for the short-lived moment of power(even if it might last for a lifetime) is extremely high and eventually they will end up being consumed by that very power that were harnessing and manipulating. Some of them feel the danger and try to escape from their cults or habits yet they will have to be very courageous and strong to be able to do that. Even when they get out of the trap, they might fall into another one the trap of overpositivity which transfers them to the “Flower power” group. 

Another trick of the illusion is that they might feel too guilty for everything that they’ve done and they prefer to sink further instead of exiting the trap they’re in. But once the person realizes the mistakes made and takes action towards changing the path, if they’re truly sincere in their quest, the Grace will support them. The support never comes in the way we might project or expect it to come, that’s why full trust in one’s Higher Self and the Highest Power has to be there. 

Both groups, the flower power and the power hungry have chosen their paths because of ignorance, because of not having a clue about what they want to get, why and what are the repercussions for their ignorance. But at any point the true path can be found, and that’s within, it’s the path of no procrastination, no wasting their time, the path of work with oneself and their distortions that veil then and obstruct their clarity. 

The third group is a very small group of souls, mostly migrating from previous groups and risking to go back to one of those groups at any point. Therefore awareness has to be there all the time and decision to never go back no matter what is another key element. Their job is a very tedious one, and they are supposed to face all their inner demons that are veiling their true nature. They are supposed to face their fears, their desires, their anger, their jealousy, their guilt, their wish to control, their victimization and so many other viruses and programs that keep them bound to the self created illusion. 

This is not the path to better, not the path to love or to “heights”. It’s just the path within, the path towards nothingness, which is the very fabric of everything. The real information is almost impossible to conceptualize, to verbalize and try to explain, it is beyond our logical capabilities, it’s an unbelievable, non-linear journey in which we jump back and forth, we are going to hell and back with such speed that majority feel like quitting and their strength and willpower is big time tested. 

Since the true path is beyond duality, we know that both currents are to be worked with and transformed and neutrality should be the only goal for the soul wanting to find out all the answers to their questions. Whatever you might project and expect, toss it away since we are just unable to grasp what true evolution might look like. Forget about hope, any hope is throwing you back into one of the first two groups. Let Life surprise you, work hard with yourself and your distortions, realize that you are not the body, but Consciousness experiencing the body and the game we’re in. No need to worship anything or anyone like the first 2 groups are doing, true worship is being fully aware of own existence, actions and words and the outcomes of them in our existences and making the decisions that are necessary and suitable for each situation. 

When the hell breaks loose

The true evolution is continuous change. All life circumstances and events are in continuous movement. Karma is fastly paid and tests are arising more and more. When the yogi is close, the whole “hell” breaks loose..yet don’t be scared, it is only the inner negativity which comes to the surface to be worked with and eventually transcended. 

On this path towards remembering who we are there’s no longer stability, whole worlds are created, and destroyed in minutes the entire Creation is revealed in front of us. The victimized will feel like doomed. The true seeker will realize that he’s learning so fast that the whole world is moving faster for him to clear the debris of the old and unnecessary in a brief period of time.

The price of evolution is continuous movement and “letting go”. 

We are like in a cosmic washing machine, continuously spinning faster and faster until we either succumb to the trials and go back to the old or we find our inner peace which eventually will override and even cancel the external turmoil. 

The worst of the storms is the biggest blessing. The hecticness of life is a test of the level of inner contentment, acceptance and true surrender. 

Life seems more and more like a movie and the realization of its illusory nature is more and more revealed through the almost chaotic, intense ups and downs that push our boundaries to the very limit. In the midst of drama there’s a chance to realize that we are just too involved in the “movie” although we are the spectator, the actor, the director and the movie itself, and much beyond them all. Once this realization is taking place, the whole illusion collapses like dominoes and the true nature of self and the external world can be grasped. 

Although this realization is very powerful and has the chance to totally shift our perspective about things, if the time is not yet right we might continue to wonder around to exhaust whatever we came here to exhaust. But that true realization is a seed of destruction that will grow more and more. It’s the very destruction of the ignorance, the disillusionment that we’ve been searching our entire existence and although we might waste some time on things that are not part of the newer paradigm growing inside of us, eventually we will wake up to realize the futility of chasing chimeras and decide to follow what’s eternal and true. 

Cheer up dear souls, there’s not even one which eventually won’t come back to the Source, even after hundreds and hundreds of lives. 

After all it’s nothing but a combination of determination, courage, simplicity, selflessness and inner purity that leads us to the real inner-contentment, the stillness that is who we truly are. We are all One, the only difference is timing which exists only in this experience. We are all perfect already in our Higher form, yet each individual has a different goal and that determines the length of the journey. 

The desires are still keeping us prisoners to the duality, the very pleasure has in it embedded the pain. Hence love has in it the pain of loss, enjoyment of food, the hunger, and so on. Once we let go of everything the true (spiritual) eyes are slowly opening and we are allowed to see the illusion unfolding and its mechanisms are revealed. 

We might still love, eat and enjoy life, but there will be no desire and no attachments that were keeping us from Being. Now everything will happen through Beingness, everything will come from the inner contentment that will annihilate the “good” or “bad” outcomes of our actions since there will be just a pure flow of your Being, unobstructed by desire to control this flow. 

Hope, the biggest trap! 

I am sure that the majority of you reading this article are going to scratch your heads in disbelief. So I will try to explain my perspective. 

When we hope that something is going to happen in a certain way or the outcome of our actions is going to be the one that we want, we pave the way to diving deeper into the illusion and into misery. 

Before taking birth into this life we’ve seen the things that we are supposed to experience and we agreed with them, believing that it will be like a walk in the park. Unfortunately the problem is that when the soul is not being bound to any physical vehicle (body) we can’t realize how much the pain would be felt in the body, how overwhelmed we might become by emotional pain and traumas, and we’re also unaware of how addictive is everything in this experience. Besides being out of the body means a certain higher level of freedom and a clearer vision of the world and the game that we are about to enter. Most of us fail over and over, because of hope doubled by ignorance. We are just unable to accept things the way they are. We are unable to realize that whatever happens is correct for us and there’s a big realization behind any trauma and “bad” or unpleasant event. I know this myself, yet it’s so hard to break free out of this extremely well-built game we’re living in. 

Hope is the very desire to control, to manipulate life events towards a desired outcome. But what if being in this game with almost no awareness about who we truly are, and what is the purpose of us being here is impossible to grasp? What if surrendering to life and its flow is all we can do? It’s scary, because people are afraid, afraid of the unknown, afraid of events that will shake their lives. But if you are ready to go whatever way life comes, with a smile on your face, then you are definitely on the right track.

Hope is emphasized over and over again by mass-media, and the society in general. It is the warden of our invisible walls jail that we’re inhabiting. Hope is our very strong will and imposition onto ourselves. “I hope that I will get that job”, “I hope that my wife will love me forever “… The silly thing is that we are attached to things and people and by hoping, praying for something to happen we are influencing the outcome of life how it was planned before incarnating this time and we are missing the point hundreds and thousands of lives. 

“I hope that I will get that nice job” . Maybe it’s a dead-end for you, maybe it’s some warm unnecessary stop from the evolution. Maybe by concentrating our creative energy towards achieving that goal we’re missing something better. 

“I hope that my wife and I will be forever together”. 

We are just trying to stop the time and it’s just a laughable idea. What if you don’t project any willpower, you are happy with the wife you are having, yet you are not dependent and you accept that nothing lasts forever and you are surrendering to life and the events that you chose to experience. I am not advocating lacking of vision or promiscuity,.. The things that I am talking about are subtle, they’re happening under the gross aspect of life, so we can enjoy life and its beauty, but recommended not to attach to anything due to the continuously changing characteristic of life.

 We are powerful(without knowing it) and this is the downfall in the illusion, because we are trying to manipulate the game to achieve some minor comfort and we forget that our plan was to experience and expand our limited perspective about life. By praying or hoping towards achieving something, we are lost, we wasted another life and it will happen so until we relax and accept the ride (life) as it comes, without hopes or desire to manipulate events or the outcomes. 

Now there’s this coronavirus fear all over. This makes us automatically infected by hope. We hope that we are not going to catch the virus, or if we catch it we hope that we won’t die,.. The illusion is getting stronger and stronger in its grip by hope. Accept the “reality” as it is, but employ your maximum awareness and flow in life with awareness. If so, you will always know what to do in a certain situation, you will know if and what to do, if and what to say. Just accept this ever-changing nature of life and your existential drama will fail to shake you.

 Hope carries with it desire for a better life, better future, preservation of what we have.. Again attachment. By not being able to fully accept what we’re going through and what we are experiencing at the moment, we are blocking the possibility towards extracting the right essence, the right knowledge out of the situation so we are doomed to repeat the process in this life or the next until the lesson is learned and the true knowledge is extracted and imprinted into our beings. 

Give up hope and build inside yourself acceptance towards whatever life brings and once in many thousands of lives we will start realizing our being and the purpose of our existence in here. 

Dream in a dream

This world is a play of mirrors, everything and everyone reflects us and our own power of creation.

The whole world is just a play of our own mind, a dreamlike creation of people, things and events that are happening only in our mind, the whole existence is happening in a tiny spec of dust. The trick is that we become slaves of our own dreams and even if we grasp the information that it might be a dream we don’t really want to wake up from it, it’s too cozy, to comfortable to let “the script” rule us instead of waking up and taking full responsibility for own creation and if we dislike it, we can always change it. But no, it’s way easier to be victims of the dream.. “Oh no, we’re living in a nightmare”, well, you can always wake up and change the dream.

It happens many times when we are dreaming something and we wake up and we go to toilet and when we go back we feel like it may be amazing to go back to the same dream. We’ve all been there. But how about now? Are you ready to wake up from one dream and to realize that you are in another dream again? Probably the depth of these Matroska doll realities is not yet graspable to us, yet waking up from one dream makes the previous dream look less real, so if we are able to realize that which is almost not verbalizable, then we grow more and more, heading to our true intelligence which is all-knowing , all-pervasive.. But for that we have to transcend the mind of this dream, in order to discover the “reality” behind it. Overly intelligent people will fail to realize it this life if they are too attached to the logical linear way of thinking. Because their highly esteemed intelligence has reached a very rigid state, where in order for it to evolve, it has to break through the misconceptions, and many of those information that they were so proud are very inappropriate for the quantum level they are about to step into. The majority are unable to let go of it, they cling to it and hope that what is written here might not be right, because it’s so hard to let go of projects and desires, so hard to accept what we all have by the confirmation from our intuition.
The same happens when we wake up from a wonderful dream and we feel like going back to sleep so we can experience it more. We are just addicts and this is what keeps us clinging to this pseudo reality. That’s the very reason why all the ancient scriptures are emphasizing over and over again the “non-attachment”, lack of desire to control, and renunciation… But you see it’s so easy to mistake the information, people are going to isolate themselves as many millions tried already yet to no avail. The true renunciation, detachment and flowing with life has to be in the given circumstances of life, without running away from them, without isolating ourselves, actually embracing the challenges instead of running away from anything. The true renunciation is when you still eat, still work, still having sexual intercourse, and so on,.. But all these come from the inner contentment, and surrender to life flow, not from the addiction, not from obsession, lust, or neediness… It’s all just a flow, and each thing that happens it’s just neutral for that advanced being, it fails to bound him/her. And it fails because there’s total unobstructed flow of being in that existence.

Our surroundings are reflecting our inner turmoil. The beings that we come in contact with as long as they create a response in us are the reflection of the inner instability and lack of balance. Accept everything as it comes, be wise, realizing that there’s more to learn out of an uncomfortable situation rather than some pleasant event. Anyways life is alternating them so no need to attach or crave for neither of them. Eventually we are supposed to become neutral even whilst experiencing “good” events.

Smile and let all the thoughts disappear, like clouds disappear in the summer sky and realize that that is the perfect moment, regardless of where you are, regardless of what’s your status or any other thing that might bother you. If you manage to see a glimpse of that eternal existing inner-happiness, then you know what you are, everything else is a dreamlike illusion.

Perceiving life as it is

We, people are so ignorant about everything. We are perceiving everything through a very tiny opening through which we peek into the so called reality, yet we are literally unable to grasp the existence. So we are prone to misinterpret continuously the reality we’re living in by projecting old beliefs and understanding from past experiences into the present, so that the present is not at all “present” but some new experience with “past” flavors. Hence, the evolution is getting more and more limited as time goes by, that being the very reason why we perish.

Let’s take a look at our problems and things that we are not so happy about. It seems like we are in deep trouble, yet if we take a moment to contemplate about it, we might be surprised to find out that more than half of the planet’s population have worse experiences, and yet they might take it easier. 

It is all about the inner perception about the world. So 2 people experiencing same experience will always feel it and interpret it in different ways. 

I found something on the internet that said: “I was sad that I didn’t have shoes until I met a person without legs.” So it’s all about the way we perceive life and mostly we perceive life not only through past distortions and experiences but through comparison with others. Eventually we are living a terrible experience just because of our expectations and hopes. We are just unable to accept whatever comes our way with calm and taking everything as a new opportunity of inner growth and experience. 

We are doomed, just because we are dreaming about pleasure and happiness. Because we are slaves to the senses, we are continuously looking for ways to entertain and “enjoy”, yet true enjoyment is in each moment of “Now”, each moment carries embedded the inner contentment, or the happiness that we are foolishly looking for outside. We are already there. Even in the moment of distress, if we manage to look at the things far from above, like watching a movie, we will realize that there’s nothing so tragic, nothing so traumatic. It’s just life, and the more there’s struggle, the more we are pushed by life towards understanding what life is about. 

True spirituality is in the conscious experience of each moment of NOW, perceiving the most traumatic and the most pleasurable alike, as pure neutrality. Know that life is a continuous roller-coaster, a perpetual up and down cycle which we can’t stop or control. The only thing that we can change is ourselves and our wrong perception about life, a perception from the victimized and /or entitlement point of view. 

Feel life deep inside yourself because there’s nothing outside of us which is not already existing inside. Flow with life, embrace challenges! Let your existence become a flow of your Being and the veils hiding Yourself from yourself will slowly vanish. 

What it takes to evolve

The real secret about life is extremely simple, yet so hard to be grasped by the great majority.

The secret is our behavior. Yes, scratch your heads as much as you want but it’s just that. The secret to our evolution is “ignoring” with grace what others are doing or saying no matter how atrocious it may be… We just have mind our actions and reactions. It’s such a mind-blowing element in its own simplicity, but it is just that. The others are just triggers and tools for our true unfolding of the Self. 

Imagine that you are a fish in a aquarium, swimming freely along with other fish. Is the fish aware of the outside world? Can he be fully aware of the fact that his life is being watched since he was a tiny little egg then as a tiny fish and now a fully grown fish? Can he be aware of the fact that each left or right turn is attently monitored and noted? Can he realize in its simplicity how limited he is, yet is he able to make real moral choices in the most weird and twisted situations? This is the very exit from the limited being towards something greater, this is the very tiny door towards the evolution from an instinctual animal towards something great, beyond human nature which is animal-like anyway.

And yes, it may seem at moments that some people hate us, some are lying and inventing about us, but our reaction to it it is all that matters. 

It is beyond hard, it’s of a non-human way to comprehend and to act naturally like you forgive and understand everyone with a motherlike attitude, but this, is the very root of the actual evolution, whatever else is minor, is bullshit. Whatever else is just dreaming, inventing and fantasizing. But you see, this is very hard, because no one can fake being moral and non-violent, nobody can fake having a good and kind heart, they can try to replicate, but the Life itself will push the tests to such a degree that the fake ones will always lose it, they’ll always let their true nature come to surface. 

Once I received an advice which I wish I will always remember, because in the advice there’s the whole world compressed: “If you sink, sink graciously.” What was the message? If you are going down, don’t pull others, just learn to accept defeat graciously and then victory may be around the corner. No place for vengeance, no place for punishing those who are doing wrong things to us.

 Many did reprehensible things being “righteous”, because righteousness is just an illusion, even is we are “right” . Righteousness is the “key” to losing oneself and the dear ones, is the key to lose the battle with your lower nature.

Want to evolve spiritually? Are you ready to be helpless with seeming that there’s one to care for you? Are you ready to see the “truth” that everyone may desert you, blame and accuse you? (although it may be just an illusion or an imposed feeling). Are you ready to be publicly or privately humiliated to the degree that you feel like dying? Are you ready to see all your loved ones hating you? Are you also ready to see old friends looking at you like you have the plague? It’s not really necessary to be like that yet it might happen. Are you ready to be a good person and stick with the good manners and good, healthy thinking about everything even when everything may be looking like is against you?

Are you ready to see that people that you were putting up on a pedestal are still people and they may even look now underdeveloped, just to test you and your faith even more? They may even be unawares of being played by Life against you, but it’s just a game, where either you win it, by winning your dark side or you are “righteous” and you allow yourself to blame, accuse, hurt and curse others, like you did over and over again throughout past lives. The things are twisted, after losing such a test, life can become good, so that we may misinterpret it,..

What is certain is that all the people that are evolved spiritually, have gone beyond primeval instinctual living, and they have been tested by the Higher Self lives and lives. They were suffering tremendously, unbearable things yet they managed to be moral and kept the right path regardless of their dramas. Are you able to do it? Or you are just one of the many who are just dreaming about superpowers and gaining control over matter yet runs away from the responsibility for own actions, reactions and things you say?

True Power comes to the Real Master, the master of own life, of own decisions. True Power is self intelligent impossible to trick or lie to. True Power tests the aspirant. And know many, so many are just doomed to fail,…Be one of the few, one of those who stay calm without analyzing without judging, understanding the temporary nature of the world and staying inside, unmovable minding only own actions and reactions. 

Are you ready to face it all?? And if so, what’s your motivation? It happened in the past that Power was given as the final test to many, but oh, they misused it and they may be still facing the consequences. You see, it’s not that someone is denying us the power, is that The Power itself is trying to protect us from premature exposure which may destroy us. My advice to myself and all of you readers is to really make sure that you are ready to face unimaginable trials and make sure that you are dedicated to improving your actions and reactions to whichever stimuli. Because true spiritual evolution goes through hell and back and makes us feel like living in a hellish realm. 

Be aware that people who helped you big time and who you put great trust into, may be part of your test, they may all of the sudden look like low, like you wasted time and effort, but deep inside your heart lies the truth, don’t rationalize, because the mind will try to delude you, use intuitive sense and surrender to the Higher Power, ask for clarity, don’t expect immediate effect neither answers, just keep an open mind and stay simple and don’t allow your mind to wonder, because it may trick you, just give it time(to the issues you’re having) and whatever is fake fades in time, but what is true will shine eventually and can’t be hidden for long from the real seeker.

I wish that we all have clarity in all of our endeavors and may higher moral be always the guide into whatever action you enterprise. If you feel that you are not ready to face the dirt, don’t start any spiritual quest because many projected easiness onto it and although it may look easy for those who achieved it, for those struggling to get there it’s but invisible and untouchable goal until the moment you close your eyes and surrender to your Higher Self and your Guidance and take The Leap of Faith. Sounds easy, but it’s almost impossible. It takes tremendous dedication, selflessness, patience, resilience, effort but most of all Trust. So I wish that there are many of you readers who may benefit at some point of this information, because one day, when the time is right You will remember it.

In the moments of distress you might forget or discard this information, probably because we are too burdened by life’s vortex or maybe we are not allowed to have any advantage, so I suggest that you just develop detached love towards all that is alive or existing in the illusion and developing high moral values and be ready to surrender and feel beaten up and disappointed, but the good thing is that it won’t last long and your memories are going to be coming back and you will be able to remember this information and to assess your progress. Don’t be hard on yourself if you are failing over and over again, if only one time you manage to do it, to overcome your animal, then you passed to the Big League. 

My well wishes to all of you.

Is there such thing as “truth”?

Everything is true. Every single bit of information is in the same time true and not true at all. There are different levels in which each information becomes true or false. For different individuals the same information can be false and true, but the individuals are on different levels of perception of the world/ reality (illusion).

As an example we can take the diet wars.. Vegans versus meat eaters, advocates of vegetarianism against ketogenic diet ones. They are all right, according to the purpose of the diet, the level of knowledge and the level of evolution: there are several angles to look at a situation. The smaller the number of angles from which we see something the more limited the truth is. The ketogenic diet can show some weight loss features, yet if we are unaware of the rest of the implications like the energetic lowering of the vibration of eating only animal flesh it is highly detrimental. Even on the physical level the toxins, hormones(that were previously injected in the living animal), antibiotics aside from the hormones of stress (cortisol) that are released in enormous amounts into that poor animals blood when killed. How about the lack of vitamins and other phytonutrients which are lacking in such a diet just to name few of the risks and negative implications of this type of lifestyle or diet. So the truth of the ketogenic (or Atkins diet) adepts is a limited, ignorant type of truth as the truth of many people who consider themselves knowledgeable just because they acquired some bookish, predigested knowledge. Yet it’s true to a certain extent. We are all knowledgeable and we are all ignorant.

Those who think that know much are the most ignorant of all. It may sound crazy, but more the people get a chance to access the true knowledge (a higher level of truth than the previous one), more humble they become. By realizing how many times the new level of truth totally changed the paradigm, and shifted their system of reference, their perception about life, its purpose and the world in general, they become more aware and humble, realizing that the next level of truth might again twist their perception and whatever may seem now as being undeniably true might become eventually obsolete and laughable.

Keep an open mind, let yourself explore the most unbelievable of the hypothesis of the information you may come across. The true ignorant denies the other person’s “truth”. The knowledgeable accepts the idea that everything might be correct at their own level for each of the individuals, in their own self-created illusion. How can it be that out of 2 illusionary worlds one is less illusion than the other? In the end even if there can be a gradation (one may be more fantastic than the other), they’re both fictitious. By realizing that, we realize that although we coexist with others, the evolution is very individual and it can’t be taught or teached unless that receiver is open to accept the new level of truth and the time is right. If the time is not yet right we can swim in the right knowledge, we can be forcefully-fed “the ultimate truth”, but we will be blind and deaf to it. And all these I experienced myself: I got a chance to find out good information some time ago but since I wasn’t yet ripe, or let’s say that the time wasn’t yet right, the information that I stumbled across failed to create any ripples in my waters and I am sure I am still experiencing the blindness regarding the next level of truth that I am not yet ready to find out.

Coming back to the diet example, according to my understanding, people evolving realize that eliminating animal flesh from their lives is beneficial (and according to my assumption, mandatory for being able to perceive further levels of consciousness/ perception) for a future, more advanced state.

I have experienced in my own path both polarities, I have been bouncing back and forth from good to bad and back again and I still do, from cold to hot, white and black. I want to emphasize it once again: the secret lays in between, the 0 point, the point of balance between the extremes, the point of singularity, when duality may be still there (while we’re still in the body), yet one becomes unaffected by the positive or negative currents through volition and Grace. It’s hard, almost impossible. But if one has a vision to evolve out of its self-imposed limitations, then the whole paradigm shifts and what for the majority is impossible, for the determined person “the impossible” starts fading and the truth starts unveiling itself.

The middle point, where there is stillness

How many times have I been there?! Knowing what I have to do or say, I was happy to get a glimpse of the Immortal Knowledge through my own realizations, yet the ego and mind eventually tricked me, once again, into forgetfulness. I have no doubt that everything is known in my core, yet the ego occults the Truth, along with the limited mind’s giving of reasons and logical explanations to this and that and the avoidance of the right “path”. Oh, what a waste of time! since the righteousness is the very root of ignorance and there are no “better tools” to use to help one lose one’s soul than ignorance and righteousness. Each are born of the other.

Since everything is but illusion, is there anything to be righteous about? Since everything is but creation of the mind (like a dream), is there anything to run for, to crave? Are we able to take an object back from our dreams into the so-called “reality”? Then how can we fall prey to greed? Everything is but a dream. Is there any benefit in cheating people or in mistreating them even for the most “righteous”of reasons?


Even so, it’s extremely difficult to apply what we read and understand into our lives, since it goes against everything that we have ever known.

Many times, we think that we’ve changed, that we’ve improved… It’s just another trick of the ego. Real change is sometimes mind-blowing; it’s a giant leap out of the plain, tridimensional world that we “see”, and into the quantum world. Yet first the change may so gradual and looking like we are not evolving at all, but by looking back at how we used to be, we realize that we are no longer the same, that we are aware, we KNOW, we are not acting upon the reactions, upon the old programs the way we used to. Slowly slowly we are realizing who we are and what is the point of all of this.

Real change comes by Grace, along with huge amounts of courage to go against everything that we’ve stood by our entire lives (which is no longer suitable). Actually, lives upon lifetimes we have wasted in perpetually “missing the point”. But now, it is time to gather all the pain and become immersed in it fully with the joy of knowing that I am doing the right thing – what I had avoided for eons. And that pain, devoid of explanation, emotion and any righteousness or guilt, creates the shift that I couldn’t possibly have dreamt of before. The same pain that had bound me before, if experienced with full awareness and attention, will open my eyes ever more and oh! when I “open” my eyes I realize that everything is worthless. Everything that is dual is just a smart way to bind me to even more affectations of illusion. Remove yourself from the “dream”! Stop creating a meaning for the illusion, or the illusion will devour you as it has done, over and over again, in our past existences. I do everything dispassionately, regardless of the results because passion is no longer for the “I”. When there is no “I”or “mine” or “me” there is Being. And when I do, I do as the Being – Awareness. In removing expectations and hopes, the sorrow will be one with joy, neither Ying nor Yang, but an incorporation of them all.

I cannot entertain thoughts or emotions, because I am beyond those, like the butterfly that is above the caterpillar. But, when I entertain them, although I am already the butterfly, I see myself (and am seen by others) as a maggot. By giving into instincts and entertaining lower thoughts, the Divinity is blocked since That (the Absolute) is the untouched – pure Blissful Being – Existence.

I entertain only the ideas that benefit me the most. I remember that there’s no good or bad choice, only my choice, that I can change when I dislike the fruits of such choice.

Whatever is already lost and gone, I don’t waste my tears on since that loss had a reason. The reason was to wake me up. In learning the lesson, new opportunities emerge since once we stop being the victims of illusion, whilst still in it, it can only serve us.

Be aware of both polarities since they are both as wrong as they can be. The violin teacher said to the child, “You see, my dear, the secret lies in the middle, since if you tighten the strings too much, they are going to snap, or if they are left too loose, the sound may be improper or missing.” So the teaching can only happen on the middle path where there is no exaggeration or extreme. Like a pendulum which is still, immovable in the 0 point.

May the Grace that gave me these realizations be the driving force of our further evolution, and may it pull us out of self-created misery.

It’s something that I have been searching for my whole life, but only now am I ready to receive it, so here it is, self-manifested, exactly in the right moment.

Aren’t we all One?

The awakened being finds a teaching under each stone, under the most trivial of life experiences. But for the awakened being the old, logical mind is not making the decisions anymore, since it proved its obsolescence. Logical mind it’s still useful for navigating silently in this illusion since it’s made of the same fabric, yet for those intending to raise above the illusion, the tool must be out of the illusion. That tool gets perfected through a lot of trial and error, a lot of falling and rising again, dusting off the clothes and starting all over again.

For such being, there’s no winning or failing, since everything is just experience. Everything is pushing that being to recognize the temporary quality of all the manifested, so automatically that being is heading towards the Eternal, the recognition of one’s own Essence and the fact that this essence is all pervading, all knowing, and it’s inseparable from any bit and piece of the manifested.

Every small thing has a meaning and no meaning whatsoever. Everything is just a huge game of the Eternal playing with Self, separating Itself in tiny bits and pieces of matter, removing the omniscience from Self so that the show is: the struggle towards the removal of the ignorance of that separated, now-materialized (crystallized) Self, and the fight in the process with other pieces and bits of the same Existence that we all are. So, we are continuously facing ourselves in the struggle of getting rid of ourselves. Sounds silly, and it is silly because we can’t escape from ourselves.

The secret is the incorporation, not in the separation. We are all One. We can all feel vibration inside such a blunt and resounding Truth, yet it is too abstract for us, it removes our “uniqueness”, our “specialness”, and we don’t like that. The mind immediately removes whatever is too abstract, afraid we are that we might free ourselves from its influence. That’s the very Ego, and this is why it’s so hard to overcome, because getting rid of it means separation from any ambition or desire that we might have; we let the other Self have it, knowing that whatever is ours, can’t be lost, and that that other Self is still us.

Embrace the enemies and struggles; embrace the pains because they are the ultimate friends of Your True Self. Happiness is the blue pill from the Matrix; you may feel like you’re taking it, yet it slips through the fingers all the time until thousands of lives go wasted like that, and we feel deep inside the futility of going on the same old paths which eventually bring us back to the same old result: misery.

Let go of the idea of happiness since it’s just a trick; it’s like running in the desert for a mirage. The true happiness is within, and it’s there when we experience the “good” and the “bad” alike. Stop crying for what you don’t have and be thankful for what you have. We, the souls experiencing the human experience are the most ungrateful and forgetful beings. We are programed to want something and when that something is acquired, a new desire is born, so we can never experience happiness from the very design of this reality. If so, there wouldn’t be any billionaire and neither  would there be poor, since they would all stop at some moment enjoying their happiness which is always there, no matter how much they have or what are their titles.

Drop the ambition and in an instant you’ll experience “happiness”. True happiness is true existence, enjoying the sweet-scented and the stink alike, not bothered by any of them and not craving for anything either. It’s the moment when the whole Universe and its secrets get unlocked, and they reveal themselves to that Being, because They are that Being.

This process is the process in which we discover, not who, but What we truly are, since we are Everything and Nothing at the same time.

Pain – the driving force of evolution

 


Pain is horrible, right? I know, I’ve been there… Pain is the very reason for the evolution of souls having an experience in the human body.


We are all, to some degree, running away from pain, because pain is trying to change us. Pain is the element that is pushing us to the “next level”. Through pain, the body gets stronger. Through pain, the courageous become fearless and indestructible. But many drown in the water we need for our survival. With pain, the choice of how we deal with it is up to each individual. Many have died because the pain was too strong, or self destructed, falling for self-pity. But the one who survives it and embraces it, gets the boon, the boon of the next level of pain, which has to be transcended too. There are several levels, and whenever one feels or hopes that it may be the last one… Surprise! There’s more.


But life is correct. We’re just experiencing whatever we are supposed to experience. Everything is just right at all points in time, although it may seem hard to believe. Life also gives a moment of respite between levels, like the gift of experiencing glimpses of happiness from time to time. Enjoy, but don’t get too comfortable, since the happiness is just a resting-moment in between.


The secret is to embrace the pain, to transform it into your dearest friend, because this friend that hurts you, wants you to be better. I am not advocating masochism. That is just a perverted way of enjoyment for traumatized people. But the pain that you are experiencing, is the kick in the butt that makes you jump one meter (guess where)… Forward!


Stop blaming, whining and being victimized. Be the pain! Stay with it as long as it’s there. Welcome it like a gift, because there is light, bright light inside of that black hole. The gray-dark hue that colours our life is just an illusion created by the ego (which doesn’t want us to evolve). The ego wants us to be lazy, procrastinate and cry in self-pity. The ego wants us to stay in the cozy, warm place, instead of voyage beyond the horizon(out of the box). There’s no point in stopping on the path; it’s a constant climb… Don’t stop climbing, because there’s always a better place ahead. Enjoy for a moment and start again. Go for the next step, for the more advanced moment of pain. Eventually, the pain will not disappear, but it will stop hurting. It will just be there like a noisy mosquito that’s stopped bothering us because we have accepted it as a part of ourselves. When that happens, a new “You” will emerge. Life will cease to exist as seen previously by the veiled, limited mind. It will be the real awakening that everyone is dreaming of. Yet, not many are ready to go through it. Not many people are ready to work their asses off for that. That’s why the saviour-type religions thrive, because everyone expects to be saved, expects to be pulled out of the misery by someone, or expects some kind of “collective ascension” to happen. Everyone is hoping for some shift from the 3rd to the 5th dimension. Pure bullshit. This is all just promoting the idea that saving comes from the outside, leading us to procrastination and waiting for spiritual masters or whatever savior, to come our way and get us to safety.


Work! The real evolution is through hard work with one’s self, hard work against the lazy nature of the ego, a continuous and assiduous struggle against something which is deeply infecting your being and not allowing the true Self to emerge.


Everyone can “do” the New Age (so-called) spirituality. You just choose from Arcturians, Pleiadeans, Syrians, unicorns, angels and other imaginary friends that are coming to the rescue. Hello?? Nobody is coming to rescue you but Yourself. Arm yourself with patience and hard work on all levels and whenever you feel like, “hey, let’s leave this for tomorrow,” do double the work that you were ready to leave for tomorrow.


Do you have what it takes? Definitely. Is it an easy task? Definitely not. Every piece of this puzzle is going against one’s ego and its bad programming and is, like all medicine that is good for the body, bitter. All that is painful, has a good purpose for our evolution. Be sturdy and start welcoming the pain. Hardships make you contemplate, make you question, make you thrive. “Good” things are just an oasis where you are able to enjoy a short break on the road towards the destination. The destination is eternal evolution; it’s an unceasing effort to improve and go for perfection. You are already Perfect, but in order to rediscover it, lots of layers of crap have to be removed. Call on yourself now, to start removing the crap layer by layer. It can take lifetimes, but once you have made your decision, no one can stop you. The matrix will try smartly, to trick one into believing that they can lay low for a while, that they should enjoy a discrete moment in time. Enjoyment has to be with you all the time. Enjoy working through conscious living, knowing that it is your biggest service towards yourself and the world. You should enjoy observing your emotions and pain. Enjoy becoming thoughtless, without allowing the mind to create. Silence the mind. Enjoy pain, and the new dimension will open. Enjoy everything that you used to run away from, and those things will transform you into a Perfect Lustrous Being of Light. Embrace challenges, embrace pain, embrace struggle. Work when you feel like resting, because everything is upside down and the sweet things do harm and the bitter ones heal. 

The “Out of the box” realm

We are scared when one exposes the way life functions and doesn’t promise anything, knowing the unpredictability of life, not knowing that maybe that’s our best chance to be on the path of truth and surrender to what life has for us.

We are mostly afraid to step out of the box, to make decisions that may throw us into life, we are lacking the courage to make steps that might take us onto the path of discovering ourselves and the truth about this “reality”. We are very “conservative”. We like to preserve old beliefs which look safer, which are keeping our understanding (the misconception?) of the world together. Because we know that if we choose to step out of the box, there’s a lot of responsibility, a lot of work with one self and not so many people nowadays are even ready to accept that things might be this way.

It’s so easy to go to the old self, the old patterns of behavior.. So easy because it’s something we know, something familiar. It’s the very Stockholm syndrome manifested in our lives, captive in the hands of self-imposed fear and the ego. It’s a decision to fall for laziness and “comfort” since the other choice implies disillusionment; waking up realizing that we know nothing; implies accepting things that we prefer to pretend that are inexistent. That doesn’t mean that stepping outside is only bad, or there’s no comfort. On the contrary, it may become smoother and better with time, because after the negative is failing to deviate us from the path of self-discovery, the positive current is taking over, one of the last trick of the illusion to keep us captive. 

There’s always a risk on this path, the risk of returning to the old self. I still risk going back sometimes to that “safe zone” which is the forgetfulness of the soul. It is a constant struggle, a battle of our Higher Self and the old self, a battle in which the prize is either remembrance of who and what we are, or the sweet forgetfulness. It is exactly like in the first movie of Matrix when the traitor from Neo’s crew chose to betray his team and live in a fantasy world knowing that everything was experiencing was just fake, yet it was so appealing to him and the reality was so cruel so full of responsibility and work. Same with us, we are constantly exposed to the right information yet we are very afraid, we want to stay longer in the sweet and warm pool of oblivion, because we know that outside might be chilling, might be work that we have to do, might be that our entire system of values will be turned upside down and I get it, it’s a very hard perspective to face for those who are not ready.

I have been there. I delayed 20 years my “stepping out of the box” because I wanted to explore the illusion, to dive deep into it, and almost got consumed by it. Probably it wasn’t the time at that point so I don’t go back trying to blame myself that I should have started earlier, how I may be tempted to do. 

I know your doubts and your fears because you are me. I had them. I still have some, yet much less than previously. I am still caught off-guard, but I blocked myself outside of the box, knowing that there was a risk of going back in moments of weakness. So I drew a line under which I am unable to go anymore, I can’t go under a certain level and I am very grateful for the Grace that is with me in form of dear friends and Beings in my life,and in the form of books and information that I come across, that enforces and reinforces the already existing decision.

People and things are coming and going with huge speed in our lives, once “out of the box”, we should realize the futility of clinging or hoping, controlling or pushing a certain agenda onto anyone… We have to respect their choices and wish them all the best.

Be the “out of the box” being and you will be one of the very few who are doing it. By doing this courageous move, you will inspire others, without preaching without teaching, just by automatically spreading this beautiful scent of freedom through your very existence.

Everything in due time

Everything comes in due time! There’s no bigger truth then that. You can try, you can run, you can pay or you can try to bribe, to force something to come to you, yet unless is the right time, that thing will stubbornly refuse you. Indeed you can be prepared, you can have a higher Vision which you need to pursue, but until the right time is there nothing much will happen. That’s why there is nowhere to rush, nothing to be afraid or worried about because whatever it is to be experienced you will definitely experience. And the only thing that you can do is surrender yourself to the flow of life. Life will never take you on the path that you think is going to take you, and if you hope for calm waters and a smooth path, life will give exactly the opposite, and not because it wants to disappoint you but because you are unable to see what’s the best for you. That’s why you sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. It can be really bumpy at points yet don’t worry, the bumpier the road is, the more are the chances of you evolving. And on this path according to my experience, whenever you feel the lowest you should know that the ego is living its last days of being in charge, the ego is not going to die, to be removed nor annihilated but kept at bay. Because the ego feels that its days of ruling over you are coming to an end. And now it’s trying its best to bring all the heavy artillery, all the victimisation and past pains that weren’t transcended because its power is vanishing, because the true self is getting stronger and stronger. So whoever is managing to go over to The Dark Night of the soul which is nothing but a play of ego, whoever is sturdy enough, and dedicated to the highest power and The Guru, having unshaken faith in them and in own higher nature, that being will definitely be awaken. But remember don’t rush anywhere but purify yourself daily through rejecting thoughts and emotions and stay sturdy and humble cultivating spiritual morale and not even the sky will be the limit.

Are we aware in our personal life?

Can you love everyone just for existing exactly how you may love your own pet?
Do you love your favorite cat because is doing something or performing in a certain way or you just love her for who she truly is, regardless of the moments of destroying some objects furniture by scratching them, besides of the fact that it may scratch you or bite you? No matter how angry you are at a certain moment in time because of this happenings, eventually you will realize that it’s just an animal with its limitations, and you will forgive whatever like nothing happened.

If so why are you so rough with people, with your own partner, family members. Don’t they deserve at least the same treatment and maybe more? Why can’t you do that? Because you had certain expectations? Maybe it’s time to realize that it’s useless to have expectations if you are really dedicated to own evolution. Understanding the (lower) human nature, that everyone is impredictable, animal-like, unaware of others or self on a very deep level… The best solution to solve the problems and “dramas” is to accept whatever like you accept when the dog or the cat pooped on your favorite carpet. After all, everything is repairable, the carpet can be cleaned and washed or even replaced. What can it be so hard for us to accept others mistakes? Are we free of mistakes, or better to say, have we done it (the mishap) ourselves at any point in time? If so would you like to receive the same treatment that you are offering to the person that is at fault? If we take time before choosing to act in a certain manner, many of our problems wouldn’t exist.

If we are aware enough and honest with ourselves, we may able to recall moments when a big drama was created out of some really laughable(now) reason.

Some people divorced out of a so-called difference of opinion. It’s bullshit because if there’s love and full awareness in there, there can never be such a thing because people who love each other, compromise. And the funny thing is that they don’t even feel like compromising. But when love fades away the capacity of the person to compromise diminishes and the one who’s love diminished more will start putting pressure on the other, starting to “feel a foul smell” out of everything that the other is doing. If you are doing that can you really realize that you are a co-creator of your dramas? Are you able to be honest with yourself and realize that if you stop fueling the incipient “fire” (arguments, reproaches..), then the entire drama will disappear? If you are not able to stop yourself from adding fuel onto the fire by creating more pressure and discontentment, then why do you expect the other to do it?

I come back to one of my previous writings about nonviolence, whatever happens, if you manage to approach that in a non-violent way, you are the promoter of peace. If something goes wrong there are always multiple choices of reacting. The most common is: how dare you doing… Or… I thought you have more brain into your head not to do… Wtf is wrong with you… These are all ways of creating a monster scandal which many times degenerates in extreme violence or unfortunate events.
Another way of reaction can be: what’s done its done, let’s see how can we repair the problem, if there’s a way or not to undo it. You can choose to go with the “little self” which may push you to accuse, blame, shame the other, or you can choose to forgive, as you will forgive the dog that pooped under the kitchen table.

So the real question you should ask yourself is: Am I really the victim in here or I am the very aggressor? Many victims are first aggressors because they are unable to comprehend that they are co-creators of the whole thing. If you would calm yourself down and say intelligent things in a calm voice, trying to find solutions instead of blaming, there can be no drama whatsoever.

I read somewhere on the internet that: If the problem wouldn’t matter in 5 years from now on, then you shouldn’t give it more than 5 minutes of your time now.

Drama is addictive, you may unknowingly end up with wanting more, creating and/or feeding with your energy these conflicts, just because the love that was there, started to diminish or totally disappeared. No need to create anything. Realize that you have to either split with that partner, but not running away from life, or diving deep into the relationship, removing the desire to control, surrendering to life itself with the decision to try to make it work.

Your personal life behavior will always reflect onto your decisions in the society, so you may try to exercise your motherlike new way of approaching your family life, and eventually you will be able to apply it into the macro scale as well.

I wish you all readers to reach out to your maximum potential during this lifetime!

The apocalyptic future is a trap


I realized why so many apocalyptic videos appear, everyone is predicting some catastrophic event, aliens, Nibiru, destruction, world War 3 and so on, is because we are unhappy about our lives and the System is filling us up with the fake information so that we can go forward with the stupidity of accepting the government nonsense, that we are just “free” slaves with very few freedoms, it pushes us to drink, get drugs, dive into promiscuous sexuality, play games, be addicted to social media, everything that may steal time from us realizing who we are truly and what we came here for…
It removes us from the path of self evolution, it destroys our will and divert us away from our true visions and higher aspirations. It’s just another trap of the system that pushes us to resign, to quit, being sure that one of the apocalyptic predictions will come true. Because of that people may think: why to quit smoking, why quit any bad habits, why to eat healthy and any other “silliness” like that. It’s a program, just one of the viruses implanted cunningly by the Matrix to keep us away from our evolution, which is the very reason for our incarnation at the moment.
When the collective consciousness is tuned to negative, the possibility of a catastrophic event is bigger, but luckily we are not so powerful and there’s also a Higher Power watching and not allowing us to self-destruct, at least not yet.
Concentrate your consciousness on evolution and let nothing discourage you since the system is trying to disturb and divert us every moment.
The moment that you give up, you lost a life, like in games, but what we do when we give up our visions and Higher Goals and we float astray in an ocean of illusion is involution of the soul. This is the highest risk that a soul risks taking birth at this particular point in time, the risk of losing awareness and go lower. They say that many gods did it, lost in lust and desire for power and wealth, for each of us, life has a trick in its sleeve. Know your weaknesses and get ready to see them triggered whenever you think you achieved something or when you think you are close.
Always remember that you are an eternal Soul made of the very Light of the Divinity and whatever power or wealth in this world is ephemeral and you are not to lose yourself into any of the traps.

Be aware all the time and realize that you are an Immortal who had chosen a game of experience in which the player is supposed to enjoy the experience buy not allow it to consume him/her. Everything is pointless so, don’t hide like an ostrich afraid of some cataclysm, learn to let go of anything and everything, and surrender to whatever you prepared yourself for before you choose to incarnate. Have a Higher Vision and know what you want and write it everywhere, on paper, on your skin, phone, computer and in front of your eyes so that you can’t forget about it even for a second, because in seconds empires were lost and destroyed and in seconds of being unaware, good souls lost themselves. Live life indeed but don’t let the life consume you, don’t let the lower self capture your True Being.
You are Perfect already, you just have to become aware of it and remove pieces of imperfection acquired throughout thousands or more of lives lived.
My blessings to all the true seekers out there.

How to not give a damn 

how-to-not-give-a-damn.jpg

Many times we allow others to imbalance us. The fault is never of “the others” since the responsibility for our lives and interpretation of it lays just with us, and the others are just mere “buttons” triggering us, our fears and distortions.

I noticed a disturbing fact about myself and I am very sure that I am not the only one that feels like this:

Let’s say that we are walking on the street and somebody is staring at us, “shamelessly”. As soon as we noticed him/her, our insecurity kicks in, especially if his gaze doesn’t look friendly, or looks mocking or if we feel that he’s measuring us. We see him laughing while he is watching us pass by. Again a sting in the heart: am I ugly, stupid, do I have carrot pieces between the teeth, is my pants zipper open? We are unable to simply be, ignoring or being comfortable with whatever happens. Watch this feeling, it’s one of the old patterns that has to be transcended and worked with. It is the very lack of self-love and confidence that make us indeed unappealing to anyone else.

When we are insecure, we are devoid of love to ourselves. How can we love someone else then?

It means that our “love” may be based on the other’s appreciation and show of care and “love”, a common exchange happening nowadays in the inter-individual relationships dynamics. When these (love, care, appreciation) are not shown by the other(-s), self-doubt appears. This self-doubt will create a mess in our lives, at first will spread like an infectious disease onto other levels of our lives like job, relationship with kids, neighbors… So, the self-sabotage appears. In these moments, if possible, let go. Let go of all expectations and desires, just surrender everything to the space,to the nothingness. Remember the Higher Self and God, and fully surrender to whatever is happening. Whatever it is, there’s no way you can change that in those moments. In moments of distress our decisions may be wrong, based on the emotional imbalance that we’re in. That’s why, let everything subside, let it be just “nothing”, as you will soon discover. Go back to some stressful situation in the past. That restlessness and fear and all are not there anymore, everything was an illusion.

We may start inventing nonsense, unifying imaginary dots, remembering things… Going lower and lower, feeling scared, deserted, betrayed and all the lower vibrational range of feelings and emotions. All the insecurities are appearing: we feel ugly, unwanted, unworthy. Well, we definitely forgot about being a spectator, only watching the storm, but not jumping into it. So remember to be a spectator even when you feel that you are in the middle of the mess, it’s just an illusion. If we realize that we can be spectators of own dramas without a need to interfere, give thoughts or analyze much, we achieved a certain “next level”. It is hard, almost impossible, because it takes some otherworldly effort to really detach and decide that we are not supposed to be creating more emotions or explanations about something that is already there.

Good luck and may you be supported on your path as I know well that all true seekers are supported, even without them knowing.

Evolution is here Now! Decide to start, and the path will unfold itself to you.

About limited mind and the ego

mind and ego

Mind is a good tool at a rudimentary level, but for further evolution and improvement mind has to be transcended. That’s why in Buddhist and Hindu texts a person that is mostly using the left brain (logical, analytical one) the person is compared to a monkey, since its understanding about life and everything else is limited by the bookish knowledge and assumptions that mind is creating because there is no realization that comes with the opening (using) of the right brain functions which are more related to the abstract/artistic way of thinking and seeing things.

Look at the moment when we are very happy, they seem so scarce, so short especially compared to the “bad” moments. If you feel like that too, it means you have a “victim” mentality and from my experience, the victim continuously sabotages own life, attracting aggressors in his/her life with the fearful behavior and lack of trust. You may say: “well, but lack of trust is similar with cautiousness, so how can a cautious person attract aggressors in his/her life”? The victim and aggressors are attracted one to the other like magnets attract each other by having reversed polarities. The aggressor “smells” the victimization in the victim and after all, he’s just going with the script. Many times by having extreme fear, we provoke being attacked, because it’s the same like the animals have a sixth sense about smelling the fear of their victims. Of course everything happens behind the curtains, since both are unaware, so they will both go with the “program” which is of the same low vibration. The only difference is that they are having different polarities. When you are in fear, you must remember that you are an eternal being of light and everything is temporary. Anyway the threat is probably less real than we may think, and even if we’re facing the inevitable, like I said in a previous article, what’s the point of dying in fear, agony, or crying? Die if you have to die, smiling, enjoying the last minutes, since it’s a moment that has to be experienced with full awareness and devoid of fear.
Often the victim feels empowered in their existence after traumas, as a way of life to make it even, hence there is a chance of getting out of it, but by not being able to love himself fully and unconditionally, they tend to go to the other extreme, becoming an aggressor, and the aggressor invariably change places, since eventually all aggressors become victims one way or another.

I realize that we should have a new goal of recognizing the victim/aggressor behavior in ourselves and in order to render them obsolete, the only real thing that we can do is to fully surrender to the flow of life and to decide not to act, nor to react, which is the hardest since the reactions are 99% of the time are surfacing automatically . After the reaction, if we are aware, we may realize that we were mere spectators of the show put on by the “autopilot” which is programmed so that we either notice the patterns that are dragging us down, or we will succumb to them. The “autopilot” may get us into trouble, because of one moment of wrongly “going with the flow”, the flow of the low-vibration programs.

So you see my dear reader, ego is part of the game/Matrix, the very game that wants you to be ignorant and waste your time and energy into futile endeavors. This ego is the one that pushes people to suicide, kill or harm others. Just because this “little self” is a conglomerate of all of the bad qualities that we are having: pride, shame, inferiority, superiority, entitlement, guilt, anger, fear and many other. It’s impossible to “delete” it, or getting rid of it, as many so called spiritual leaders are recommending. Impossible from the simple reason that the removal of the things is also a trick of the Matrix, it will only be there in the back of the head, silently, running its silent programs undetected, because in our ignorance we assume that it can be removed. Removing it fully, it’s only possible when we are surrendering our bodies (when we die). So let’s not try removing it, let’s acknowledge it and decide that we are just to disempower it, fully aware of its existence and potential destructiveness in our lives.

How to disempower it? simple by cutting its energy out, by not feeding it with our victimized way of living, by not being neither of the extremes, no victim neither aggressor and not even savior, which is another ace in the sleeve of the Matrix (illusion). Just live everything half the way, don’t be too sad nor too happy, just try to understand that the point where the pendulum is resting is the point 0. When the pendulum goes to one extreme, it will make its swing to the other extreme as well, no doubt about it. So when there is a big moment of joy and we are emotionally fully immersed in it, we create the reactionary force that takes us to the negative side allowing us to experience “the other side”. Going towards extremes is just a waste of energy and time, energy that can be used otherwise. Life is just a collection of good and bad, black and white, female and male and any other representatives of the duality that we are here to experience. But as soon as we establish ourselves in neutrality we start discovering that there’s nothing to analyze, everything that happens in life is just neutral, with no meaning, but to experience all the degrees of it, both antagonistic parts of the duality and to raise above it, evolving out of it. Neutrality is the next level of evolution!
Mind creates reasons and explanations which are deluding and tricking us to believe that a certain experience is bad, very bad, good or very good, the problem is that it all comes through its previous experiences which already were misinterpreted and now we build misinterpretation based on the previous misinterpretation. Out of 2 twin brothers who were verbally abused in the childhood, one got traumatized because he interpreted that moment of abuse as the end of the world, something very traumatic which made him victimized, creating a reality out of the wrong assumption that nobody loves him and everyone wants to take advantage of him.

The second brother on the other hand didn’t interpret anything anyhow, so he was not affected anyhow by the verbal abuse of the father, so he didn’t develop any misconception about life or the happenings.

The traumatized brother will always be ill-programed by seeing some “darker side of the moon” in everything, although there may be nothing there.

Let’s say that when we are young we can’t really know how to do, how to react in certain situations, but now, as adults we have to remove the childhood programs that are plaguing our decisions, working with them. When programs from the past have no power anymore in our lives, we have a chance to improve, to be aware and not to develop new misunderstanding about anything.

As a conclusion, the mind creates misconceptions about everything and the ego is the very enemy on the evolutionary path of evolution trying to keep you ignorant. Realizing it, it’s already a huge step on the road to self-refinement.

Be a spectator 

Be a spectator and not an actor is my advice. You’ve been an actor your whole life, if you want to improve, something has to be changed from your end. You can’t expect the change to come from elsewhere.

When we are seeing things from the outside they are just neutral, like a movie, and we can freely see what was the reason for whatever happened. On the other hand, when we’re in the midst of the emotional turmoil created by some external stimulus, we are becoming dumb-like, we are forgetting self and who we truly are, we are surrendering the control over the body and mind to the animal instinct, an autopilot which sabotaged our lives continuously until now. We are slowly self-destructing ourselves by exhausting our life force (energy).

Whoever reaches the point of being a spectator of own drama, is a true master of the illusion. Much more, instead of running away from it, we are to dive deeper and deeper, to really fully understand the causes and we are experiencing the events fully from the standpoint of stillness, non-judgmental, inner love and contentment.

If we see that our lives are full of drama and misunderstanding, maybe it’s time for us to step out of it, to enjoy it fully though, so eventually becomes useless. Drama and any other “bad happenings” are here to teach us detachment or they’ll end up exhausting us. Don’t know about you dear reader, but I had enough of it. I will just try to sit back and enjoy, taking everything easy, because I have noticed that when we’re able to do it, all the drama and whatever is just like a straw fire, it burns with huge fearful flame but it exhausts immediately. Don’t feed the fire with your involvement, energy, or emotions. Sit back and enjoy the ride.

If we can do that, we solved one of the problems which will literally kill us sooner or later, since like I stated previously, emotional and energetic exhaustion are the cause of the body getting old and ill.
We are prone to make mistakes based on insecurities, fears, lack of self-love and love and understanding for the rest. Be the best, forgive when no one is able to forgive, because you are just doing a favor to yourself. Love when you are not loved, and here I don’t mean that we have to throw ourselves into the arms of whichever unsuitable person. What I meant is even less common nowadays because it only comes from a sense of deep love to oneself and understanding and unconditional love to everyone else. So to love when you are not loved it means to have a crazy trust in life and yourself and to be able to continue loving someone even when that person doesn’t. Because real love has no jealousy and no vengeance.
As a conclusion, become a loving spectator for the amazing show that life unfolds in front of you! Never forget to count your blessings, realize that you are already perfect beautiful being not needing to be liked neither accepted by anyone else but yourself.

Are we rushing anywhere?

are we rushing anywhere

If the suicidal person will just give a day or two for that issue to burn itself off, there will be no death by suicide on this planet. I bet many of us had the idea at some point. Yet we are still here, and whatever was the motive that pushed us to take into account such a possibility, it eventually faded away and probably the idea is not only obsolete but silly.

But in those moments, we love to project, to create monsters out of plain nothing, to feel that everyone hates us and takes advantage of us (victimized perspective), we tend to analyze and over analyze the facts, finding more disturbing (fake) things that we didn’t see before yet there’s nothing there, everything seems darker and darker. It is all our own creation and projection. Nothing is ever good or bad, there is just our analysis on that issue which brings a meaning to the facts. In fact everything is meaningless and time destroys eventually everything: ideas, perceptions, actual people, buildings, planets, stars, you name it. If you are not feeding the fire with fuel and/or it has no oxygen it will turn off by itself. Same with whatever issue you encounter. You feed a problem with your thoughts with your attention to it, with projecting, imagining outcomes, future events. Nothing is there, you are just artificially creating a bigger problem which doesn’t exist. Stop it, divert your mind from it, but come back when you’re calm so that you learn from it. Breathe deeply and you’ll see that whatever it was, it was just a storm in a glass of water.

Watch it, because when you are taking the road to fixing and removing the bad programming in your mind and subconscious, you are opening a Pandora’s box which is impossible to close. Either you walk the path or the path is going to consume you. Many have died trying (literally), it’s a path for the courageous, for the selfless people. It’s a magical path, which can be compared to a marathon but a marathon against various distorted versions of your own self. Be aware. It’s not easy, but it’s not always painful either. And it all depends on the perspective, so have no perspective, don’t judge the situation anyhow, accept everything comes your way lightly.

I would like to tell a small story about perspectives: One Buddhist monk sat under the tree where Buddha was said that attained enlightenment. That tree was a special tree and sometimes it was a path of communication between the true seekers and God. So this monk, looks above and asks:
– In how many lives I will attain enlightening?
God answers:
– You see, my son, count the leaves of the tree and as many lives it will take you to reach the enlightenment.
– This is horrible, said the monk and starts running while screaming and whining.

A second monk comes and sits under the tree and asks the same question.
The answer invariably the same.
– Thank you, that’s great… and he starts jumping like a child, claping hands and laughing… so I will get my enlightenment after all…
In that same moment the monk got enlightened.

You see, both monks received the same answer but each saw it in a very different way. Life is always according to the individual perspective and perception through own veils. And the one with no expectations received the boon that was promised after thousand lives. So like this in life, one has to learn to let go. Letting go of everything: expectations, people, hopes, desires, addictions, bad habits… But there has to be a vision, a Higher Vision, a goal that is beyond any tiny little mundane ambitions. And being patient and understanding that it may take a lot of time, may shorten actually the time of waiting and transforming oneself may come sooner than expected. The funny part is that whoever is rushing and wants things fast, will just run like a tiny mouse in a hamster wheel, pointlessly, since you can’t make anything happen before the time is right. You can never trick the Higher Self, the Universal Consciousness, you can just arm yourself with humbleness and patience and maybe you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

See, this self-improvement road is a very long and bumpy road, but by Grace, you are supported, even when you think you are not. You are loved and supported and above all watched. Start on this route with no expectations whatsoever. Just desire to be a better version of yourself and many boons are given without even you noticing. Like in a game when one player reaches the end of the level, he gets points and rewards, because after all this life is just a game, and the only certitude in this game is that at some point everyone surrenders the body.

If we make the boons our destination, we are just caught in the power game, and that same power which we may be dreaming of having will eventually destroy us.

So, you think is there anywhere to rush?

We are mostly navigating unconsciously in this reality 

navigating unconscious

Record yourself, video or at least audio, keep the recorder on the whole day and try to watch it afterwards and realize how unaware we are of what we do and say throughout the day. But in order to realize the unawareness, a certain level of awareness (which is mostly nonexistent to the majority of people) and honesty to self has to be there. We have to be very sincere in order to accept that we are looking like possessed sometimes, possessed by the subconscious mind, old patterns and poisonous emotions.

Because maybe nobody will waste time to watch or listen 8-10 hours of their day, I will recommend you to start recording when you reach home for the 30 minutes and better when you are meeting someone. Even if you will alter your way of behaving because remembering that you are recording, it’s a good exercise where you can realize that you are acting automatically when not being aware. So it is a good way to start being more aware.
I studied myself especially when interacting with other people, and I was surprised to find out how my old behavioral patterns were dictating my way of communicating and behaving with others. It is like we are living our lives mostly being unaware, of the root of our habits and the programs which define the automatic and semiautomatic responses to different stimuli.
Our behavior is altered by the conscious, subconscious and unconscious programs that we acquired throughout this life and previous. So we already come altered to some extent, but not only that we’re not aware of these programs, but we are collecting more and more, adding to the level of difficulty that the path towards the true freedom has, transforming it often in an impossible task,at least for this lifetime.
If we are happy with the life that we are having and we are not ready to implement gradual changes, it is no problem, sit back, relax and enjoy. But I am sure that we are all aware that life is not a walk in the park, and no matter how much we enjoy it, at some point we will be questioning the meaning of our existence. Since you are reading this, that question must have been already addressed. Have you found your purpose? Nowadays paradigm, unfortunately, doesn’t support the ideas that you are going to find, reading this blog, but if something in it clicks with you, if you feel that there may be some truth in it, just dig deeper. You don’t need to take my experience for truth, you just need to start thinking for yourself, and whatever information comes your way, filter it through your intuitive sense, and secondly or not at all by the mind because many times mind is too linear, too logical to accept something which is out of the range of the things that is used to analyze. If you hear an idea that may seem crazy at first glance, don’t deny it (like in the scientific method), don’t accept it either. Question it. First of all, in order not to waste unnecessary time with it, ask yourself “Is the answer to the question going to improve my life or the way I understand the things?” If the answer is yes, then use intuition, or contemplative method, but if it’s not useful, why to even waste your time with?
If it’s really useful, and the answer is going to change your life or way to see the world, then ask first your Higher Being, or we may say ask your heart or your right side of the brain about it, the abstract part of the mind, because the logical one (left side), is failing to understand most of the time matters that are beyond the comfort zone, which is the case with the path of self-realization. In order to recognize intuition we must train ourselves to listen to it. So many times my intuition warned me about certain people at first sight, but I was trying to convince myself that I am biased or it’s not fair or “politically correct”, but each time, the intuition was right, sooner or later that person would show their real face to realize that my inner feeling was always right. I shared this with you , dear reader, so you may draw a similar parallel. Maybe each of you had different moments when you were warned by intuition ,yet you were not following it. You may find useful to start using the biggest tool that we have embedded into our being!
Are we really navigating adrift in this reality? Yes the majority of us are. Because we have no higher vision whatsoever, most of the time, and by the sunset of the life we realize the uselessness of the life we lived. Don’t know about you dear readers but I will definitely do something about it. I will start using the steering wheel (awareness). Like in the song of Michael Jackson: “If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change…”

Going to the past, a real minefield 

I noticed that people tend to go to the past and pick up some disturbing behavior or thing said by the other, but they are not aware that they are summoning back the same demons that left them once they decided to “sign” a truce or peace, be it in the family or extrapolated to whichever cell of the society.

Then the potential is to not only destroy the new agreements but also to create a bigger rift between the two factions. It is also about ego, that little self which pushes us to defend ourselves and use whatever past information to hurt and show righteousness (which is sign of ignorance). Who could have known that the past information is “infected” with past feelings and emotions which maybe were imposed by ill wishing people, or by own demons lurking inside? I realize that there’s no need to bring up the past even if it is a recent past, cause it will only create more havoc then it was already. We can bring up the past to work with it, internally to take the right realization out of it and go further, but never to remind to someone else with the purpose of putting them down. Otherwise let bygones be bygones.

Either you take what I stated ad-litteram or you take it as a metaphor, doesn’t really matter since the truth is not limited to a certain detail or peculiarity, the core of the real truth can be applied to everything and it is planting a seed which will sprout on its own, at the right time, the result being very unique and specific to each individual.

So don’t bother too much or stumble in some way of expressing or an idea in which you disagree. Take what is good, and you feel that resonates with you, and forget about the rest. Like I said, although the truth is one, it has very many layers and facets so it is so easy to misinterpret it because of its simplicity and apparent otherworldlyness, and in the same time it is messing up with our old system of values. So it takes a lot of courage to even accept that it sounds, if not correct (yet), but familiar. From the “normal” standing point, also a bit of craziness is needed, because there has to be “exaggerated” flexibility to withstand the over the board tests (that life will bring) that upgrade to the next level our breaking point, after starting on this path. I call it the rebound capacity, which many times may look “cuckoo” but which saves us from loosing the Path, risking to go even lower than we were previously. That’s why I will give you the advice that I gave to myself: Don’t roam too much in what happened already, draw each second a line and decide to go forward having the higher vision above little offenses or other things that bothered us. Let the ego just die itself, you have to bend down in the wind like a very elastic tropical plant, accepting everything as being correct and being connected to every moment of ‘now” fully, forgetting already the past second which carried a certain negative current or emotion. This is the survival kit. A kit containing huge doses of humbleness, courage, craziness, and most of all dedication to oneself. It will help you when you are about to lose it.

The power of letting go is one of the most important and upbringing force, it’s so simple yet so hard to apply because we always feel that we have to defend our hurt “little me” (ego) to protect ourselves, and it’s simply not part of our pattern of behavior. But it’s all illusion, anyways everyone thinks about you whatever they want to think regardless of what you would want them to think about you. Actually you can easily create a study: acting the best you can in front of 100 people, and checking anonymously their impression about you. It will never bring a 100% positive result no matter what we do. So may I ask why are we trying to please others in change for acceptance and “likes”? I am telling you, being who you are truly will bring same or better result than when trying to play the chameleon.

Be yourself in a non-violent way, without deliberately hurting people with your “freedom”, without playing “good guy/girl”, remember humbleness and flexibility and… Ah, I was about to forget,… A bit of Craziness 😁

The traps of the low vibration deeds

the traps of the low vibration deeds

I have dedicated myself lately in studying my own behavior, tendencies, conscious and unconscious patterns and programs. When I realize how they manifest, I check what are the similarities with other people experiences and I choose a plan to improve myself, remove and/or transcend all the unnecessary, based on my observations.

I noticed an automatic development of a negative pattern, which I consider to be a low-level programming, part of every human being. Once we “go low”, as an example: if we are falling for an addiction like tobacco, alcohol, drugs, games, shopping, promiscuous sexuality or other (whatever addictive behavior or any lower vibrational action), we are free falling, entering a spiral of lower level actions and behavioral patterns and issues. I have noticed it in my life and in the life of all the people I have met. So I realized that we are all subjected to it.
I will offer you my example: I started smoking in my early years and soon after, I also started to drink, at first one beer at a time, then 2-3, and later on countless and much stronger alcohol, same with cigarettes, or any other, the “dose” always increases. We are all aware that the above-mentioned behaviors and substances are detrimental for us. Furthermore, we are only aware of the damage that it may provoke only on a physical level, and only sometimes we may notice that there’s also a slight mental influence. But the biggest problem with bad behavior and abuse of substances (here I include coffee, sugar, and other “harmless” day to day poisons that we are burdening our body with) is that we are unable to see what are the repercussions on a subtle, energetic level.
That’s why using substances, having a wrong diet, low vibrational actions and emotions, are dragging us in a pit where the lower we go, the easier it is to acquire more lower vibration actions, emotions and unhealthy food habits among many other. You can say that it looks like a true “road to hell”. The lower we go, the harder it is to exiting the pit and in order not to create a huge negative impact on our mental, spiritual and bodily health, all the bad habits and deeds have to be gradually abandoned, since stopping all of them at once may be a very difficult or detrimental thing to do.
I first started eliminating sugar from the coffee. Then I removed coffee, processed alcohol, all sweets, but I continued to drink sporadically only home made wine, later on to come to the realization that I don’t need alcohol at all. Meat, poultry and fish disappeared next. Slowly I removed most of the substances that I believed that carried a risk for my mental, bodily and energetic health and things started to improve. Of course we can never be totally free from bad food or influences but we can always try to do our best to reduce them, hence consciously minimizing the overall bad effect on our body-mind-spirit system.

So I am sure that as the spiraling of the low vibration actions and emotions creates a negative impact, but it also applies the other way around, there is also a spiraling of the positive actions and removal of the unnecessary, so by starting to remove all the useless actions, things, and emotions, unworthy people started to disappear from my life and, new, higher vibration people appeared , I realized new things, that we are not supposed to do anymore, and so forth. I started being more aware of what I do and say. I realized that I was living a predetermined life according to the routines and mainstream ideas I incorporated without questioning , programs and distortions accumulated throughout years and lives of ignorance.

Live like there’s no tomorrow, Part II

there is no tomorrowThis illusory life we’re living in is a constant emotional struggle. Stop struggling and you will be able to see the futility of reacting or fighting against it. It will be a straight parallel to Don Quijote’s fight against the wind mills.
Before working in the present moment, go to the past and recall one of the biggest issues that you experienced. See how it feels. Remember how it felt at the moment. Is it so unbearable as it felt in that moment? I doubt. But if yes, stay there with that feeling of pain, being hurt, betrayed, lied to, cheated, ashamed or guilty… Work with it, because the progress is for the courageous people. Evolution is hidden in the pain. Why would we want to evolve when we’re in a warm, cozy place? Pain is just the engine of transformation, be there with it, realize that there is nothing to be afraid anymore, realize that that moment in time created ripples that riches over and over to you and creates havoc in your life. Situations may look very different but the main emotion is same and it continues to milk you out of your vital force dragging you into the cave of sorrow and self-pity. You want to go there? Go. But there is no one to blame but your own insecurities and lack of courage that stops you from taking yourself out of the misery.

If there is no response or a very faint one when you go to the past trauma, just draw a parallel with all the stressful situations or mishaps that happen lately in your life. Do they look so bad when the moment is gone? No. Then the only task one has so far is to give whatever problem a short period of time, from 5 minutes to few days depending on the problem/issue, but by not reacting, that bad thing looses the power, if you don’t analyze nor fall into despair, you may realize shortly that it was just a bubble of soap. Nothing in the world is worth of exhausting our emotional energy. This energy is the same energy that keeps us alive in this illusionary world we’re living in.
Like a DSLR photo camera who is having a limited amount of clicks that is guaranteed, like a bulb which has a limited amount of on/off sequences, same, our body has a limited amount of emotional energy so far. You exhaust it, you’ll have to change the vehicle (next life’s body).

I struggled with my own demons a lot, trying to abstain myself from reacting to triggers. On a smaller scale I was successful, but when a big wave was coming, I was again caught off guard. Again back to square 1. But with the help of the Grace and some very special people in my life, I managed to raise again, dust my clothes and start climbing again like Sisyphus. But the difference between him and me is that I have a chance to make it through.
The secret to getting over whatever situation is realizing how short life is and that there may be no tomorrow.

This may be also misinterpreted by some, thinking that if there’s no tomorrow they can hurt people or decide not to do their chores, stop working or so. Well, I will have to disappoint you. Actually is doing everything you can to make sure that if you reach “tomorrow”, your job is amazingly done, nobody is hurt and so on, but reacting towards the issue as there is no tomorrow. Cause if there’s no tomorrow, if only the present day is what’s left, you will maybe concentrate on having a wonderful day with your family and friends,and you will want to let them know that you love them and you enjoy the beautiful time you have with them, and you will try to be at ease with everything and everyone. And no matter what problem you may encounter during this last day, nothing will really matter, isn’t it?
The constant projection into the future is killing us slowly, but there’s no doubt about that. Live in the present, since the past is gone and the future doesn’t exist. This is that “experience the moment of now” which everyone talks about. But do you dig it? Does it ring your bell? No? Maybe not yet, but this information which existed your whole life somewhere hidden inside you, will sprout out one day, of this life or one of the next. But what is in this moment of “now”? Is that firm, steady information deeply rooted in yourself that this life can be just a dream, a game, one of the many you already had, so all that matters is just the present moment! Yet we keep on stumbling over and over again, so we have to be born again and take it all over again. One life, you enjoy the richness and you get lost in it and you forget that there’s a higher meaning for you to find. The immediate next your Higher Self will want to be poor, because whatever you took extra, eventually has to be given back. The other life you enjoy being a political leader, a religious one, a killer, dictator, and the next life you may be a victim of one… Distraction for the soul. Until you will exhaust your thirst for power, this can take hundreds and thousands of lives. Same with the love for money. There’s no problem with the money, but they are only a way of sustaining a decent existence not a purpose “per se”. When they become a purpose, like an addiction, they destroy the addict like whatever addiction does in the end, no matter what addiction that can be, cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, TV, games, food, promiscuous sexuality… Yes, in the end there’s only one winner, the addiction. And here you go again, over and over on the same path, in a loop similar to the Sisyphus’s one. You may choose to stop now. Ask yourself if you want to become a better version of yourself and act upon this decision. Stop hurting people or this loop of unhappiness is going to haunt you throughout this and next lives. Forgive! Forgive yourself and everyone else. Love yourself and after you love yourself exactly how you are, without attire, titles, names, fancy clothes, diplomas, just who you truly are, and love for the humanity will come automatically coming from the realization of “We are all one”. Entitlement and righteousness is the main trap we are falling over and over again to, along with vengeance…They are all actions of a very low vibration. If we manage to transcend them, our life is going to take a turn which we are not even able to dream about.

May all of you have a chance to discover your Divinity within, and act wisely!

The right knowledge or when the real journey begins

real knowledge

The correct information is the beginning of evolution. Getting the right information makes us fearless, because fear comes from not-knowing/ignorance about who we are and what are we doing here. If we would have the information that our existence is beyond body and we are indestructible souls made of pure Light, can we be afraid of anything? The right knowledge comes by Grace, by blessing from the higher planes of existence. The tools through which the information comes to us can be very diverse, a person, a book, a quote, a realization that appears in our mind, … So the mean through which that information comes is not very important, but what we do with that information matters.

True important information comes when we are ready for it. Real knowledge is graded, it evolves, so we may know something today which is correct, but after some time we evolve so the information becomes obsolete and we get to a new level where the previous “correct knowledge” is no longer useful. As an example: normal people in order to remove obstacles that come through eating animal related food become vegetarian which may improve the chance for those being to evolve, because evolution needs a healthy body and mind. When a person already reached a certain level, and the body is “enlightened”, whatever they eat is burned inside the body so there is no negative effect on the body-mind-spirit structure.

While I was young, I used to eat meat and all the animal-related foods, which seemed correct and represented the true knowledge and diet for me at that point. Later on I became vegetarian, which some may say that transformed the previous information into an incorrect one. It may look like that. But how I see the things now is, “Everything is correct!”¹ at a certain moment. But while we are stepping on the path of own improvement, the correctness also evolves, so we are allowed to access new intelligence, new knowledge which renders the previous knowledge obsolete or making it look rudimentary.
That’s why I don’t judge people who are addicted or eating meat since I have been there too, so I understand them, because I was one of them and I was one of the biggest advocates against removing the meat from the diet.
Be advised that real knowledge comes also with a risk of developing superiority complex or/and transforming oneself into a militant for external things, which is again a deviation from our soul real purpose. These are few of the traps on the path of self-refinement and spiritual evolution.
It’s hard for me to see people smoking, drinking and taking drugs, because I know from all the points of view what is the disturbance that each of them creates in the body and mind of a person. They create mental, body and energetic damage. I know from my own experience that we are always aware, at least to a certain level what may be the repercussions of using such things, but everything happens in due time. The process of self-refinement is slow for some and for others is fast, all according to the person’s body, mind, character peculiarities, and past lives experiences. Don’t rush anywhere, but the beginning of the journey starts with the decision to improve something in our lives. As soon as you make that decision the real journey to self-refinement starts.

When we step onto the path, the Universe/God/Highest Power starts pouring Grace into our life, true knowledge is unlocked, and old distortions come to the surface to be dealt and addressed properly. So for some time it may look that all hell broke loose, and our lives are in a continuous emotional roller-coaster. The trick of the system is that when we go back to the “old us” being scared or tired of so many things happening in our lives, life may calm down, may come back to looking tranquil, because we have to assume that it was all a mistake, but as my dear Teacher use to say: “In order for a boulder of gold to become a nice golden ring, it has to go through fire and hammering”. Like this is also about personal spiritual evolution, good things come with a price and good quality human beings are tested through hardships and throughout time.
Failing to properly address a distortion or an issue, makes that issue manifests over and over again until the right action (or no action) is there or/and until the lesson is learned. After we think that we learned a lesson, the test is released. It sounds complicated yet it is not. It is exactly like at school.

We sometimes believe that we manage to tame anger and violent behavior, but whenever we believe that, life will create a circumstance that will definitely tell if we evolved out of the distortion or not. It goes the same with whichever distortion or bad program that we’re trying to transcend. That’s why the process is a very long and tedious one, so we have to arm ourselves with patience and humbleness and a lot of courage because we are to meet our deepest fears and demons. Like the Guru of my Guru said: This is a path that many have started to walk on, but almost as many have perished due to misuse, abuse or so many other reasons.

May Blessings of Higher beings of Light be with You dear reader, may you spread your own Light onto this shadowy world we live in!

 

¹ “Everything is correct” was the sentence that a wise man , said to me after (I was) experiencing a close to death experience. From that moment on whenever I managed to remember, I took everything easier, since everything that happens is correct!

Are we compassionate?

We are many times feeling sorry for the poor people, for the homeless, abused kids and what not. Believe it or not the “funny” thing is that they came to experience exactly that, whatever they’re experiencing. It’s their higher self who chose to experience that, and it’s not a punishment but an experience, everything is neutral in higher planes of existence, no duality, no good or bad.

It may seem cruel and wrong at first glance not to feel sorry for them, but feeling sorry comes from the inner own unhappiness and lack of proper understanding about life and what are the mechanisms of this illusion.

Who do we think we are to deny them that experience? That’s why, highly evolved human beings are not, or hardly interfering in this illusionary world, unless there’s a real genuine call for help and desire from the one asking for help to really change the patterns which brought them into the situation out of what they are trying to evolve.

Desire to help when help is not asked to be provided, comes from the false idea that we are or we know better, we are above that level and so on, in other words superiority complex which comes from ignorance. It’s the same like wanting to take down a professional climber who’s struggling to climb a very steep stone wall, falsely believing that we are saving him.

Nowadays main stream religions are getting more and more followers because they promote the idea of a savior, who is going to come to the rescue to save the world. Their proselytes are attracted about the lack of responsibility that they have to have, not having to work with past distortions, no self improvement needed , no self control nor cultivating good qualities, just worshiping the given gods or saints seems to be enough, and false compassion, and accepting the dogma which is based(again) mostly on fear.

Well, obviously many realize after years and years that they are either same as they were before or they accumulated even more distortions like pride that they are so right, that they are worshiping the right god, righteousness, false compassion where they are participating in charitable events, but failure to really help anyone whatsoever. By giving a hungry person food every day we may be pushing him to be lazy, not to search for a job, not to take his fate into his own hands especially if he sees that he is receiving the help constantly and he is not supposed to do anything for it. So see, non-interference or very limited interference is the best approach in this illusionary world. That doesn’t mean you can’t help people if they ask, and you feel that there’s a real need for your assistance. A certain level of awareness and good intuitive sense is needed in order to properly choose the right approach for every situation.

One friend told me long time ago that his father although rich, didn’t support him materially too much, but gave mostly advises and showed potential paths to follow and said to him: “a good father doesn’t give the adult son food when hungry, but gives him a gun and sends him to hunt”. That friend of mine grew up to become a successful business and family man.

I don’t want to be misunderstood. If you want to do charity, do! If you want to help homeless people, help. But do it from your heart and ask yourself if there’s a better way to do it, and the most important, forget that you have done it, so your mind won’t create a big ego about it.

Be aware that pity will send us back to the loop we’re trying to escape from. We have to abandon the ideea that we have to save anyone, there’s no such thing, since the only person that we’re in charge of is ourself. So if you want to save someone, save yourself and by your example only, some people may start changing also.
