About confidence...

 

About confidence…

There are people who develop a false sense of confidence, because they still live in the grand dream of their own vanity and insecure egos.  Yes, I see them walking proudly, talking down to others, flaunting their feathers like peacocks, taking what they want from others, competing and singing loud tunes of tyranny, without a hint of love in their actions but pure obsession brooding in them.  But this is not confidence, O I know!, for inside they are terrified of losing, fearful of being less, empty and searching for ways to fill this great void they keep hidden from others.  What they carry so proudly is not confidence but fear of rejection and loss; for not being popular is the scorching hell of their superficial and misguided affairs with the ignorant world.

About confidence…

Yes, I can say that confidence is the result of the communion and harmony in you.  Real confidence which cannot be stolen, bought, or ever diseased.  For this confidence is divine and pure, love-based and not attached to anything or anyone at all.  The light I see and feel coming down from heaven into my conscience, yes, such is clarity and truth strengthening my resolve, and such evolves into confidence on which I can always rely and trust because it is me, the real me and not the masks I wear for them.

About confidence…

And who told you about confidence…??  Because they lied to you.  And who says you learn confidence from watching or reading others, or from desiring to be like others…??  They have said that to you because they do not know confidence themselves.  Confidence must spring from you, it must be clear like the most beautiful and untainted tropical waters, and it must be a realization within you.  Truth is not spoken, or heard, or read, or watched; but this is just the experience from others before you.  Truth brings confidence if you embrace your strengths and also your weaknesses.  Question is: Can you rise like the phoenix…??  Associated with the Sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its weaker predecessor.  The weaker you, the follower you, the lost you, the chained to the world you.  Truth brings confidence and it is inside yourself, for you initiate the eternal flame and rise from the old ashes like the mighty phoenix.  So do you know about confidence…??

Hidden messages. Can you see them...??

 

What are life’s encoded messages to guide you through it…??  Why can’t most people see these and be guided to all prosperity…??  What is the very make up of life…??

 

Every event in life is ruled by law, no randomness or coincidences, and all is a process of beautiful discipline and perfect efficacy, just like the sweet and instinctual dance of two swans in love in a mating/courtship ritual.  And like in the romantic swan’s mating ritual, there are hidden messages and meanings, symbols displayed; so, life, the unseen, divine, and creative processes of life, displays symbols and messages, perhaps synchronicity types, to you and to whomever is ready to see them…  Life is highly conscious, is it not…??–Or perhaps you haven’t realized how conscious it is yet…

 

Man lives in duality, his mind is altered by ego and his physical senses, and so he is ruled by lower urges and consciousness; thus, this dimension of lower understanding cannot synchronize and tune in to the higher consciousness of life itself, so is like man becomes blind to the conscious processes of life.  Man is life but he cannot see himself, he cannot know himself because he only experiences the lower dimension of his own ego; thus, he misses the whole divinity and beauty dwelling under his own nose.  He does not see the heart of life, because he does not see his own heart.

Whoever sees life beyond the facade and the superficiality is truly a god himself; for his vision and understanding surpasses that of the common man, and his higher consciousness synchronizes and tunes into that higher consciousness of life.  Life consists of conscious energy to create events and encoded data or “in-formation” to guide or structure those same events; and this encoded data tunes in or links to your inner vision, or to your true knowledge of self, and this helps you see and realize synchronicity types and hidden symbols in your life.

To understand and realize this within yourself is to begin to see more, because life gives us symbols and messages, a map to find and walk our individual path, a compass to observe quietly into ourselves, and thus the way to all wisdom and prosperity to further your human experience here.

Have you considered real love...??

“If you want the moon, do not hide at night.  If you want a rose, do not run from the thorns.  If you want love, do not hide from yourself. ”  ~ Rumi.

---

To love oneself, the elevation of oneself, the true knowledge of oneself, must be the purpose of our individual existence; because if one does not truly and absolutely love oneself, then one cannot truly love another being.  And it is not enough to say in your mind “I love myself,” but it is in the small things of our daily living where we must show ourselves love–i.e., in the way we eat, in the types of food we ingest, in the thoughts we entertain in our minds, in cleaning our place, in cooking for ourselves, in exercising, in the things we read, etc. etc.

So everything starts in this love for ourselves.  If you cannot accept and love yourself, everything and anything you do in life is superficial.  Without self-love, you are forced to fall in the trap of seeking love and happiness outside of yourself–i.e., in relationships, in situations, in jobs, in travels, in cultures, in religions, etc..  This seeking is the form of false “love” the ego has created in you, this fake “love” is attachment.

 

“Changed“

As the darkness settled I felt empty,
A void and an abyss deep within me.
The people who were lost were plenty,
A vast wilderness where I could not be.
The hidden loathing was for the many lies,
Which I told to myself every waking day.
And I would not listen to the loud cries,
Ill by the pleasures of my body’s decay.
But as I saw I became one with the light,
For before true love I knew estranged;
The darkness in me had been my sight,
The emptiness within had now Changed.
 

Will you learn real love in you…??

In perfect balance...

In our society is easy to see the two conditions of life divided in the human being, such conditions which are The Divine Feminine and The Divine Masculine; therefore, we see purely intellectuals, purely emotional and spirituals, purely greedy and obsessed, purely religious and indifferent from the world, etc. etc.  We see men with stubborn minds of knowledge who work hard and remain distanced from their own emotions.  We see women who only have romance and the desire to have kids in their minds.  All this is the very fragmentation of the mind, from which all suffering and differences arise in the world.

Wars, for example, are started due to greed and hatred, fear born in insecure minds; insecure intellects which create war for financial purposes and to establish power as a nation or group.  This is the intellect of man/the ego of man guiding the individual.  When either one, the intellect or the emotions guide humankind we are unbalanced, we are dual, we are attached to suffering and pleasure; thus, the never-ending roller coaster of the unawakened individual, where true happiness cannot exist.  This not maturity, for maturity is to balance both, the intellect and the heart, the ego and the emotion. As Buddha says, ‘The Middle Way.’ Balance.

“Maturity is the ability to think, speak and act your feelings within the bounds of dignity.  The measure of your maturity is how spiritual you become during the midst of your frustrations.” ~ Samuel Ullman; American businessman, poet, and humanitarian.

We are beings which carry both substances, which in reality are one; but thought, which lives in time and names everything, comes along and says “Feminine” or “Masculine”, and so we choose because thought also says “One is weaker” “The other stronger.”

But the human mind, if it is to elevate itself to the heights of all illumination, must embrace both and merge as one, accept the role of both intellectual and emotional, of analysis and heart.  Only this balance, this divine merging, this enlightening Oneness, can bring about peace and harmony in the mind and reflect an outer world of equal peace and harmony.

---

“Balance.”

True transmutation is the balance of the two,
The balance of the two is the wellness of life;
This is the wisdom of the ages which were,
Such which lives in the Light of Conscience.

Without light man dwells in darkness,
Without seeing man seeks and seeks;
With pride in the search he fills himself–
Doesn’t he know that he has no eyes…??

Eternal children of both raised by one,
The One became the two and it began;
The miraculous purpose is laid unto him,
As the pendulum swings about his life.

The Source be man, man be the Source,
As the many be one, one be the many;
Rose from darkness to all of society be,
To find the balance which is the true way to be.

Ashes of Bone.

Tradition, set rules, dogmas, lifestyles, following, etc…  All words belonging to the popular illness in the human mind, based upon a society which is in fact the corrupted and ignorant human being, which stems from this illness like the growth of a tumor appears first inside vital organs without being noticed and when is too late it has become extremely polluting throughout.  The same insanity which believes war, competition, intolerance, jealousy, economic division, obsessing over commerce, etc., is productive in the evolution of the individual mind is certainly developing the thinking of billions of people every day, and without analysis and deep meditation of the consequences…

 

The revolution to stop this begins with you, because real change is internal, from within; for it is all about you, to question yourself, your beliefs, your traditions, your behaviors, your thinking…  This is awakening and freeing your mind from the chains… 

 

 

“Ashes of Bone“

 

Ashes of bone as tyrannous time passes,
The dust of society of my eyes veils truth;
As people remains divided in classes,
As the human mind is enslaved since youth. My heart without thought holds the key,
The silence of the essence the liberty;
I walked through pain without what it be,
All my life I ran away from the inner deity.
The people seem so formless and vain,
As I sit pondering the state of my own mind:
Are we really choosing to be insane…??
Do we really understand we are blind…??
Ashes of bone tell a story of many a fear,
As time passes and my fleshy temple decays;
I lost people who knew me of good cheer
Playing the game of comparison and praise.
Behind the ashes of bone lies the human spirit,
Away from daily monotony of mediocre recognition.
I renounce society and its steel chains! So be it.
I rise alone, free myself, denounce all tradition.
 

“Unlike a drop of water which loses its identity when it joins the ocean, man does not lose his being in the society in which he lives.  Man’s life is independent.  He is born not for the development of the society alone, but for the development of his self.” ~ B. R. Ambedkar; Indian jurist, economist, politician and social reformer.

The Spark of Intelligence.

The mind of man, in its lower, dormant state, is very conformist, opportunistic, it chooses the easiest and most popular path to follow; it does not create out of reason and love for itself but it designs and schemes paying attention to the world around it.
 

 

And the world around it is certainly ignorant and selfish, it does not look for peace and love, unity and uniqueness, it does not search for the growth of the individual; consequently, it seeks to consolidate itself and its power, its influence and control in these weak and lower-state minds, and all in order to selfishly feed its own ego, sell, and demonstrate power over others–comparison between peoples, between nations to see who is better – competition always.

Society, it does not matter what the media and slogans say, does not look to cultivate thinking minds, rich minds which use logic and question, because thinking minds are a danger to the established order, to the established norm; thus, society sells lies dressed as truths in order to slow the mind of the individual and make them followers, enslaves to their own greed of consolidation.

But there is the one individual who allows his mind to stop the chatter and see through the bullying of the demands of society, someone of higher intelligence who sees through the lies and facade of the media, religion, and the government; and, furthermore, this one is the person who steps away and focuses on himself, without being selfish, without following the mere rabble and those idiots in power who conspire to make him another robot without a thought of his own. 

To awaken to this is to realize deep within you that you can create and build yourself, that you find and discover happiness and success on your own and so you stop seeking it outside of yourself.

The spark of intelligence illuminates the human mind when we take time to stop our rushing thoughts from following others, the media, and all of society’s schemes; and so question ourselves, all we know and believe, all we have been taught in the past, even if whatever we believe seems at a first glance rational.  The lightning spark of thought generated in the solitary mind awakens and is able to function independently, richly, full of intelligence beyond what you now now and understand as intelligence.

The beginning of unique, rich, creative thought, comes when you begin to see through the schemes of society; as you question yourself, the thoughts you have, the feelings you have, and the intentions and reasons you have.

The wise man questions.

 

 

“The sanity of society is a balance of a thousand insanities.”  ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson; American essayist, philosopher, society critic, lecturer, and poet.

---

There is no bigger fool than the fool who does not want to see, than the fool who follows the carrot society dangles in his face.
 

Without questioning, without self-exploration, without a fresh perspective one cannot see reality; hence, one’s mind remains stubborn and chained to a blinding society who does not care about the freedom or happiness of the individual, but a society that only cares about the established patterns, old traditions, ways of living which sell and increase its own power.

 

The said human being then, chained and subconsciously subdued, quite often dull and depressed, with certain bouts of an anxious and overtaxed mind, begins to accept the crooked “reality” this idiotic and enslaving society has cast upon him, just like a very strong spell he lives every day as he wakes up.

And so, he is now dismal and his narrow mind is the world this society has created for him, where he sees only the work he hates, where he sees no deeper understanding, where he knows only struggle, pain and pleasure, but no happiness beyond that.

To awaken from all this is to question all this, every little detail; thus, question even what you know right now to be true, question more and more, never stop.

The wise man knows that he knows nothing, because the wise man knows that he will always be questioning and exploring as long as a breath remains in his body.

Be the wise man, not the fool, the slave, the ignorant servant who follows the carrot dangled in his face….

 

 “The environment that we call society is created by past generations; we accept it, as it helps us to maintain our greed, possessiveness, illusion.”  ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti.

Just a reflection...

“What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others.” ~ Confucius.

---

Sunlight fell upon the wall; the wall received a borrowed splendor.  Why set your heart on a piece of earth, O simple one?  Seek out the source which shines forever.” ~ Rumi.

---

The world is a reflection of oneself, and that is the reason why people find misery or joy in life; and that is also why people create God and angels and Heaven and Hell–all these have the qualities, thoughts and feelings of expression of a human being.

This reflection is actually believed by the asleep masses to be real, but being just a reflection it carries the crooked and ignorant beliefs and life views of people; therefore, when the mind in question is filled with Bible or fantastical religious stories, when filled with egoistical views of saviors and helpers coming to rescue you, when you depend on mere reflections out in the world of form to feel happiness and love within you, then, it is not real, it is just your ego designing the illusion, it is not love or happiness but attachment and pleasure.

The seeking is pointless, it is like you searching the lit dot, the reflection of a beam of light from a flashlight on the white wall; thus, it is not the real thing, but everything, each little thing you seek is within you.  Out there there is only reflections of what your own mind carries, and these reflections look as real and heartfelt as the real thing, indeed because everything is your mind; so, everything you seek, everything you experience daily, everything you are day to day, everything you believe and see in the world is your mind and the polluted or healthy state of your mind. 

  You literally, and even scientifically, create and carry the world, Heaven and Hell, in your mind; so, when you seek the reflection of something in the world, your ego is deceiving you into believing that the reflection is real.

But to find what you seek, you must go to the source; and the source of the world and all that is in it, of the universe and its mysteries, is in you.  By knowing the source of the reflection, then you know by yourself is just a reflection.  By knowing the flashlight, then you know by yourself the lit dot on the wall is just a reflection.

 

When you know the reflection, you stop seeking.

Spiraling With No End.

“It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.” ~ Tony Robbins; American author, entrepreneur, philanthropist and life coach.

---

“You control your future, your destiny.  What you think about comes about.  By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands–your own.”  ~ Mark Victor Hansen; American inspirational and motivational speaker, trainer and author.

---

Destiny I kept the repeating question encased in pure gold,
Foolishly I tried to make sense of it as it grew in me;
I felt alone, confused, running lost in the winter cold.
Where was I going…?? What was I to be…??
I heard the cry of sheep and the howl of wolf.
Hadn’t I walked too long…?? Didn’t I deserve more…??
The moon was whispering to me about love
While my wings were broken and I couldn’t soar.
But the whispers were astoundingly sweet in my ear,
And were magically transforming my broken heart;
They spoke about absolute creation without fear,
They spoke about commitment from the start.
The moon told me about her love for the sun,
About the true essence of love between them,
How in spite of the distance they were One,
How their destinies shone together like a gem.
I again heard the cry of sheep, the howl of wolf to be.
I had to choose my destiny and renounce all fear.
The whisper was clear, it answered the question in me:
I created my destiny with the essence of love most dear.
 

---

 Spiraling With No End

My days were rainy and sad as I walked onwards to destiny,

Around me minds were conditioned to follow and compare;

The nuisance of their words, the ignorance without empathy,

The money schemes, the greed and jealousy stare.

And there seemed to be no return, as this was life,

And my mind was agitated, pressures to meet expectation;

The doorway was cold, heartless, Spiraling With No End,

Was this my life…??  Was this the lesson…??

The neighbors would rush past my chaotic mornings,

My family would become silent to my treacherous indifference,

My mind was in heavy fog and I couldn’t see the warnings,

Blinded by the Spiraling With No End in illogical defiance;

Was this my destiny as I had become this petty human being…??

Was this what my heart was destined to be, closed and sad…??

But it takes inward communion for the truth to be seen,

I had to stop my thinking and rushing day for myself to be glad.

To be truly awakened to the truth of me and the lies of society,

I need not to be taken by the inhumanity of the popular crowd;

To wallow in madness was every damn day to fall in anxiety,

To be myself now is to love each moment I live, happy and proud.

 

You are the Creator of your own destiny, not the stars, not any philosophy, not other people.  Never allow anyone to tell you differently.

Out of your head.

“All lives have triumphs and tragedies, laughter and tears, and mine has been no different. What really matters is whether, after all of that, you remain strong and a comfort to your loved ones. I have tried to meet that test.” ~ Pat Nixon; First Lady of the United States from 1969 to 1974.

---

“It is not living that matters, but living rightly.” ~ Socrates.

---

People get so caught up in their heads, in their problems, in their ideas not being recognized, in their obsessions, that they forget to live each moment with joy and understanding.
 

The value we can find in living the moment with integrity and comprehension cannot be compared with anything else; and that is because your life’s wealth is not in what you pursue or even in what you can fix of a certain problem with much work and dedication, but it is in each moment which you live mindfully by knowing that you do your best and that you do it unselfishly.

And being present also means being thankful for what you have and for the people around you; this is the best and the only way you find the true value in life.  Because, even though society may bombard us with “buy this, buy that,” “Go to church and praise some bearded lunatic up in the skies,” “Get married and have lots of kids,” “Work hard and make lots of money,” and all this garbage, what truly matters is that you live rightly and to the best of yourself so you can give the best example.

It is extremely important that you can see the truth in this, and that you can be free to stay in the truth and get out of your own head.  Leave the stress and the problems and live in the moment, in reality, knowing that the true experience of life’s value is in the Now.

“Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.” ~ Omar Khayyam; Persian mathematician, astronomer, and poet.

One with it.

“We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world.” ~ Helen Keller; American author, political activist, and lecturer.

---

“You learn more from losing than winning, more from pain than joy.” You learn how to keep going.” ~ Morgan Wootten; American former high school basketball coach.

---

It is extremely important to develop ourselves and vital for true happiness in life to self-reflect and know our deepest selves, our darkness as well as our light, our pain as well as our joy. 





Sadly, most people today do not understand that in order to know why something happens in life, you must embrace it, become well acquainted with it, study it closely; and, opposite to this, you must never escape and try to ignore it, specially when it comes to emotional and psychological issues.

The human being suffers pain, and, no matter your unique situation in life or who you are, you must learn to adjust to this; because pain is meant for your mind to analyze it and comprehend it in order to not allow it to destroy you and your dreams.

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.  Do not run away from pain through activities, relationships, jobs, religion, travels, and the rest; but stay with pain and learn the lesson in them.  Do not avoid pain and what makes you uncomfortable, but realize that it is a blessing in disguise so you can grow.

Personally, I welcome challenges and pain, because If my father and brother hadn’t died, if my mother hadn’t nearly been killed by my once stepfather, if I hadn’t gone through so many challenges in my life, I wouldn’t have awakened to many wonderful things I see so clearly now, and, of course, I wouldn’t be sharing this with you and trying to help you in your own life.



So, you see, life turns to be wonderful and miraculous once you study and analyze those moments that have caused you so much pain and still anguish.  I hope you can see this, too.
