Are you intelligent in your own life...??

 

Do you know why most people tend to make bad choices over and over again throughout their lives…??  People all over the world, even with higher education and vast experience, live in ignorance and create wars and all sorts of ignorant evil or mischief, so one wonders… aren’t these people with all their education and vast life experience supposed to be intelligent and create beauty instead of mayhem…?? …

So, what is really intelligence…??

 

All most of these people do is search for more success in the world, more recognition, more knowledge from books, more experiences, but all this goes to their intellect, which is the ego; so, all this is the accumulation of knowledge, superficial data which is gained by effort and struggle, as the mind is always trying to fix, always trying to achieve more and increase in superficial, mechanical awareness–an ambition which is capable of consuming the individual in pride of becoming better, more knowledgeable, more successful, more rich, more spiritual, etc..

All this never-ending struggle for becoming is a denial of what one really is, because one is never satisfied with that which one is, because one finds identity and worth, the ego finds identity and worth, in accomplishing and struggling to be.  This false identity and worth is tied then to our ego, to our daily thoughts of joy and suffering, to all feelings which like a roller coaster take us up and down in mood swings and through the neurosis of one’s state of mind.  This distances us from our real value and we start paying attention to people’s opinions of ourselves and to the very alluring but very ignorant society–i.e., what you should be, how is your life to be improved, what to eat, what to wear, what career to follow, etc.  Thus life becomes based on fear of not being better than somebody else and all fear of not becoming what they say we should become.  No real love grows within us…

But is there a superior way to internalize and accept that which one is without the struggle and obsession to become better…??

Meditation, observing, peering into oneself, is realizing that there is no struggle in being, that we do not need to seek for experiences and obsess over becoming this or that in order to accept life and flow with it.  Observing the tides or ocean waves going in and out is relaxing and powerful, and so there is much learning of wisdom in it; and so, one does not have to think and struggle to understand the movement of the waves, but in simply observing our consciousness grows because now there is no distance between you and the moving water, there is no word, there is no judgement, there is simply a superior understanding which is real intelligence where the ego is dissolved.

 

The same observing is required in all aspects of life to understand, to absorb wisdom and grow, to observe is to be intelligent without the struggle and desire to be intelligent.  Without comparing yourself to the world, without following, without all this behavior out of fear of not becoming this, you become really intelligent, you are what you are now; ergo, you follow your untainted heart without the ego demanding of you, you just flow and do not struggle to please others and fill the expectation others have of you.

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 answer is inside the question.

 

“The majority is never right.  Never, I tell you!  That’s one of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man can help rebelling against.  Who are the people that make up the biggest proportion of the population — the intelligent ones or the fools?”  ~ Henrik Ibsen; Norwegian playwright, theater director, and poet.

---

 

In a world where every decision is made for us, where religious pressures and society’s demands are waiting in every corner–i.e., you have to be in a romantic relationship to feel loved, you must read the scriptures and pray in order to be a good person, you have to watch TV to be like the rest and be informed about the world, you ought to read books to fill your mind with knowledge so you are intelligent like others, you need this and that to become this and that, and the rest of the nonsense. 

 

But with all this confusion and demands going on, how can you look for truth and answers to actually better your life…??

The problem here is not doing all these things, but the problem is what these things do to the mind.  The human mind tends to obsess or fix over the things it does, the mind’s world is all these things it does, all these things it experiences; so whenever a problem arises it looks for answers or solutions in these routines–in books, in religions, in relationships, in work, etc. etc.

But this search is not something reliable, because it brings out more questions and dilemmas.  What is God…??  Where does he/she live…?? Where would I find him/her…??  How should a saint behave…??  How am I to behave to be morally conscious…??  How to balance public life and personal life…??  The mind then is in confusion, because whatever the answers found, there is always more opinions, more philosophies, more ideas, and so deeper question arise… and more… and more…

So, the answers are rarely found in the outer life, in the outward seeking; but the answer lies within you, because the one asking questions is thought, your obsessive thinking; and behind thought there is silence, self-awareness where no questions exist.  Questions are brought on by confusion, and behind your thoughts, in that precise and calm essence of being, is you, the answer of all the questions your ego can fabricate.
 

It is only in this very self-awareness where you find no confusion and no anxiety, because here there are no questions…

 

  “Being an intellectual creates a lot of questions and no answers.” ~ Janis Joplin; American singer and songwriter.

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.

Awaken and hunt!

“Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain. To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices; but today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it.”  ~ Kevyn Aucoin; American make-up artist, photographer and author.

We all have gifts and talents, and we were given the opportunity in this time, in this era, in this life period, to live this physical life to find them in each one of us; but, sadly, many people ignorantly look for them outside of themselves, and thus they never find anything which can bring them true happiness.

 

 

But you, as an awakening and wise person, must not waste your time here on this earth, look within you for whatever is for you expressing your unique self, freeing your spirit and being truly you. That is the whole point of this life. And if you can’t understand that then you will never find true and constant happiness.

 

To be here on this planet and fully live and enjoy life means to be present, which means you observe before you judge and complain, you learn what experiences may want to teach you before you get angry with life, you pay attention to what is happening around you in the present moment and not dwell in past memories or visions of the future.

The reality of life is that you must be present, focused on the moment of Now; so, live and enjoy wisely, follow your goals and love without fear, respect yourself enough to give yourself chances to become better, find your true passions and gifts within yourself. And for all this, again, be present, because happiness is now, in the present and not in the past or in the future.

 

Whether you think of an afterlife or not doesn’t matter, your beliefs don’t matter; the only thing that matters is reality, which is that you were born to be happy and successful in whatever you choose to do; but you do have to work at it with heart and intelligence, patiently, wisely, because you have been given time for a reason–i.e., so you can regroup your thoughts, discipline yourself, and learn to create your path.

 

 

So, mind your time on this earth, be patient, do not rush into things, plan and analyze what you are going to do, but be constant and do not waste your time.

As long as you are alive, you have a chance to better your life.

Moving forwards...

 

“The weak can never forgive.  Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.”  ~ Mahatma Gandhi.

---

“We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive.  He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.  There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us.  When we discover this, we are less prone to hate others.”  ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.; American Baptist minister, spokesperson and leader in the Civil Rights Movement.

---

Self-love is the beginning of every great and inspirational thought, of every great and inspirational feeling, of every great and inspirational deed; so, if a human being cannot love himself beyond his mundane thoughts and superficial appearance, then he will not be able to experience true happiness and truly love others.
 

 

But he will confuse pleasure with true love and thus he will suffer and fail many times in his life, while making the same mistakes over and over again until, and if ever, he learns to develop self-love.

Forgiveness is one of the greatest acts regarding self-love, because it is all about truly freeing your own mind, loving yourself; and once you let go of the hurt from past memories, then your mind is free to embrace self-love and to move on, while you are not tied anymore to hate and anger and you can heal yourself.

Even something as terrible as rape can be forgiven, not forgotten, obviously; but, nevertheless, you can remove the anger and hatred from your mind which is destroying your abilities to move on and be happy, thus you self-love.

I am not saying forgiving the stupidities of people is easy, not even close to that; but I am saying that it is worth it, because it is all about your healthy development and the embrace of greater strengths.

Whatever happened in your life a minute or ten years ago is in the past, and now in your memory; and because it is a memory, you may never forget it, but because it is in fact this memory in thought-form, you can make peace with it.  And so with daily practice, patiently, focused on your own development, you can let go, you can help yourself.

 

The easiest, most selfish and lazy thing the human being does is to follow his own ego blindly, like a brute with no brains at all; so, to remain attached to anger and hatred, to choose to follow stupid memories and let these thoughts consume you, is to deny the divine opportunities, the inner strength, life has given you to move on and raise above your own flawed mind, thus stupidity and stubbornness, thus a very selfish and pitiful state of mind.  This is of the weak mind, thus also of the weak individual as a whole who cannot even rule over his own mind.

 

To forgive then is of the strong mind, because to forgive is to see beyond your own lazy ego and reach deep within you for the strength to move on and be happy.  This takes guts and a very tamed mind.  This takes some greater mastery over yourself.

Are you the weak one or the strong one then…??  Are you an inferior human being or a superior one…??

Innermost.

“No one knows your situation better than you.  Do what’s best for you.  If they can’t love you through it, then they weren’t meant to be in your life.”  ~ Tony Gaskins; American motivational speaker, author and life coach.

---

“Look inside yourself for the answers, you’re the only one who knows what’s best for you.  Everybody else is only guessing.”  ~ Charles De Lint; Canadian short story writer, novelist, poet, and lyricist.

---

Knowledge of self, daily reflection, routine meditation into yourself, is what one needs in order to embrace complete happiness and in order to be content with whatever you do in life.

This is self-love: when you only follow your inner self and take care of that inner self because you realize that you are the most important person you have to worry about, your mental elevation and emotional understanding; and so, from this process of self-love you can now expand love onto others.

 

 But this paramount process of self-love gets interrupted and badly tainted if you allow your focus to be on others, on others’ expectations for you, on others’ opinions and wishes for you, etc. etc. 

No one, not even your loved ones, can tell you exactly what is best for you if you are mature enough to see it for yourself, if you are mature enough to know where you are going and enjoy the path you walk; therefore, it is of the ego to feel victim of the opinions, wishes, expectations of other people, for you must see the reality, that you are the god of your own life, that you are the creator of your own life.

  Never allow guilt, shame, fear, to consume your rationale and affect your emotional understanding of yourself, because you are here on this earth to develop yourself, not to take care of others constantly and be the punching bag for their mental and emotional nonsense.

This may sound harsh to someone that is not well acquainted with self-love, but it is the absolute truth to me; and I live my life based on it.

You are the only one who knows your innermost desires and strengths, so do not let any tricks from your ego or from the ego of others to manipulate you into being less and staying less than what you are and can accomplish.

Do not give in to stress and frustration, but raise above it.

Mystical essence.

“The way you can go isn’t the real way.  The name you can say isn’t the real name.  Heaven and earth begin in the unnamed:  Name’s the mother of the ten thousand things.”  ~ Lao Tzu.

---

Mystical essence

It carries no name, quality, idea, or belief,
And yet the ordinary man tries to define it;
It must be felt deeper than what is deep,
And higher than what is high to the mind.
There is no source and no understanding,
For there is no bind to time and space,
For there is no question and answer;
There is no action but profound non-action,
And one with it is the superior realization
As the mind of the ordinary becomes it.
The eternal essence of the Mystical Flow
Allows morning dew to bathe gentle wind,
Allows blooming flower to share its perfume,
Allows magical connection between two souls.
The ether emanates from it in meditation;
So mind rejects what is not, embraces what is.
One with the ether of Cosmic Nature then
I become one and the same in essence;
Once I let go of all, it all comes to me;
Once I accept the flow, I am the flow;
Once it enters, I enter and differences vanish.
Droplets of morning dew bathe my conscience,
Immortality is now experienced in the conscious me.

~ Asa.

Superior.

“Rhetoric, which is the use of language to inform or persuade, is very important in shaping public opinion.  We are very easily fooled by language and how it is used by others.”  ~ Ray Comfort; New-Zealand-American Christian minister and evangelist, television host, and author.

---

“The media’s the most powerful entity on earth.  They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power.  Because they control the minds of the masses.”  ~ Malcolm X.

---

What is a distraction if not an illusion or image guided to distance you or to deviate your attention from the truth or from the reality of a situation…??  And what is more tempting and enticing to the human ego if not the distraction or image built with more violence, complexity, a more verbose explanation, and built with more fuel for your set beliefs…??



Be vigilant of your ego and its agitation in this, because if you allow it to poison you by accepting everything you read and hear and see in the media, or even from neighborhood gossip, then you are really allowing yourself to be a target for hate and all sorts of prejudice. And precisely this is distancing yourself from all love you can feel and understanding you can embrace.
 
When this happens, you become truly the unwise fool who resides in a lie, thus making your reason, your rationale, your whole life, a lie.

Self-destruction and mental stagnation or mediocrity exists because the mind does not embrace truth in the everyday behaviors; however, this lower mind might understand some truth merely as an intellectual set of rules and philosophies, but this is nothing if the truth is not embraced and experienced in your untainted heart, and then applied in your daily behaviors.
You must be open-minded and never assume you have the right way or the truth; for the fool in his inferior mind has the belief that he knows all, but the wise man really is wise because his mind is always open to deeper understanding, thus the wise man’s mind becomes superior via understanding that he lacks understanding, so his mind becomes powerful and vaster to fit more love in the form of wisdom.

Never trust the media, or anything you read, because other minds, or most of them, are out to create wealth, admiration, or something which is in their own agenda, thus they are not interested in the truth because they are the fools dwelling in lies.  

Only the pure heart knows and understands the truth, but the complexities of the human mind, the agitation of the ego, is only interested in rebellious contention, foolish entertainment, and that which does not concern the truth or elevate the mind to the superior level of the wise man.



And when the mind becomes superior, then the wise man becomes dangerous to society; because he loses all interest in accepting wars, in buying what he doesn’t need, in supporting the causes of the selfish and inferior minds, in rebellions, in the foolish debates of politics, in TV and radio shows which do not elevate his mind, in holidays and mass shopping, etc. etc.

Be vigilant of the mediocre minds who try to rule you.

Mastering life...

“When the dog looks at you, the dog is not thinking what kind of a person you are.  The dog is not judging you.  We have much to learn from a simple dog.”  ~ Eckhart Tolle; German-Canadian spiritual teacher, public speaker, and author.

---

“I hate prejudice, discrimination, and snobbishness of any kind, it always reflects on the person judging and not the person being judged.  Everyone should be treated equally.” ~ Gordon Brown; British politician.

---

Life allows us to make different paths, and that exactly shapes people, and by the choices we make under any circumstance we are forging our journey along this path; this is something unique which is the heart of our level of living and understanding.

And nobody is better than anybody due to having different experiences; we are all different, perhaps with a lower or higher thinking depth, perhaps we have taken our time to meditate on ourselves or not, but we are all here to learn from our unique and challenging experiences.

Sometimes people make the mistake of seeing a rich person, a bully, an angry person, a hateful person, etc., and think that they have it easy or that they are evil because of their words or because of the violence they commit.  But, the truth that your untainted heart knows, and that your ego may quarrel with, is that we have all gone through experiences and lifestyles that have shaped us as the human beings we presently are, and many times the choices we have made out of ignorance were not the best ones. 

But whether you understand this and tolerate it or not is a reflection of you, not of the people you judge.

This speaks of your own knowledge of self and of the control you have of your mind, such must be always a peaceful and harmonious mind in order to see through all prejudice and anger from the rebellious ego.

You must accept people the way they are, even if we are talking about Hitler himself; because nobody is born evil, but the choices and the experiences growing up make good or evil.  Learn to be the sage, the wise one who can see through this veil of prejudice.

And with this I am not saying that we should hug and kiss every damn idiot out there who rapes, murders, bullies, and even that talks down to you; however, I am saying that we must keep our minds peaceful and free of anger and anxiety, and I am saying that we must keep the attention on ourselves and not on judging others, because while you hate and judge others you are distancing yourself from self-love, you are letting evil into your own mind to take over, you are the one choosing wrong now, you are the one committing the sin.

Think about it and be wise in your own daily choices.
