O, Lovely Victoria...

There is no more bliss in a human being’s experience that finding that Source of greater truth and love.  That is the Source of very life, to be One with it, to shut the ego and its great delusions of fake love, namely attachment–desperation and desire which blinds.  But, be wise, seek not love, not a woman, nor a man; but be love, rise in love within you, and then you shall become a true magnet, your energy shall be so powerful now that you attract without any intention of finding…

“O, Lovely Victoria…“

Lovely lady, I had found myself lost without devotion,
Without higher purpose, without the slightest notion…

O, Lovely Victoria, a thousand deaths I speak!
A thousand deaths I would experience for thee.
Let me not to the marriage of our divine souls
Be detached and lost, but deeply sincere be.
Love is not love if attraction be only of flesh,
If marriage is only of that which ages us still;
For love, the truest love, is beyond the thresh
Of argument and jealousy lovers do oft’ feel.
The star guides us to a heavenly symphony,
And caresses our higher conscious affection,
And reminds us of our plays in glorious infancy
When our love was just a dormant perfection.

O, Lovely Victoria, as I contemplate thine eyes
I find myself wand’ring the mysteries of the most
Beautiful and radiant Suns which do not blind,
As my energy meets thy Source ever so close.
Have this wretch of a man now lie in divine grace
Of your presence which possesses the bridge
Between matter and consciousness as embrace,
As this soul of mine rises in love without ridge.
Now I see that the youthful hue of your cheeks
Embodies the deepest and most honest emotion,
It shows this poor man divinity’s highest peaks;
For I was lost, but now your love is my devotion.

Concrete visions.

Are you emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually expressive, free, balanced, healthy…?? Is any type of fear blocking you, depressing you, affecting you in any way…??

The subconscious is where our experiences, beliefs and memories are stored.  Self-knowledge, the understanding of our thoughts and behaviors and their influence on our lives, will make the unconscious conscious; however, quite often people repress things, avoid expression, ignore how they feel and think, and they remain trapped in themselves with bouts of sadness, embarrassment, moodiness, anger, and all types of anxiety…  Ever happened to you that your subconscious knows something but your conscious does not fully, or that you feel you cannot quite express yourself or be free from a feeling you have deep inside…??

 Liberation, inner revolution, deeper knowledge through drawing or mapping your inner images, visions, or feelings; and this is tapping into your own subconscious to access that repressed sense you have, and this not only frees you to feel better and direct your life with greater vision and confidence but it enables you to communicate more openly with others while you make your unconscious conscious through your art/through your divine expression…  Map your business strategies.  Write down how you feel about a certain situation.  Describe your mental images on paper.  Work on freeing past memories.  Whatever you do, make your unconscious conscious always.  You can see better if the pond is cleaner.

For example, I used to wake up in the middle of the night and write my dreams; and so I found many answers I was looking for in that moment of my life–by making the unconscious forces of consciousness work to my advantage I liberated myself and opened my own conscious mind to greater understanding.  As in dreams, one may experience certain unbalance, unhealthiness, trapped emotions during day or night, and this may disturb us; and so, in those cases making use of our inner abilities for artistic expression is what will make the difference between slavery or freedom.
 

 
“Your visions will become clear only when you can look into your own heart.  Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” ~ C.G. Jung; Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who founded analytical psychology.

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…??

The wider view...

“Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.” ~ Theodore Isaac Rubin; American psychiatrist, and author.

---

“Life is not easy for any of us.  But what of that?  We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves.  We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.” ~ Marie Curie; Polish-French physicist and chemist.

---

Happiness, true happiness, is realized and experienced in the individual by having patience and perseverance, by having diligence and commitment to a cause; that all means struggle through challenges, a deeper understanding, and reluctance to quit.  Self-discipline is paramount through it all since self-discipline means passion to this superior commitment; this is the path to what lasts and to what gives profound meaning to our lives.

Of course, the rest is just fleeting pleasure, it will not necessarily be struggle nor make us get out of our comfort zones.  The lower mind, the animal condition in man will always tell us of the easy pleasures in life, where the ego feels comfortable and gives mere satisfaction to the same ego-centered mind; however, most of the time this does not last and the mind is like in a sugar rush… it is extremely excited and high… but soon afterwards the mind goes back to its normal state and then there is the immediate sugar crash…

But through intelligent planning, analysis, hard and consistent work, and a noble and pure passionate heart, happiness can be experienced, true and constant happiness that is and not mere excitement and pleasure with a disguise to fool us into happiness condition.

For example, most of the time people get into relationships while confusing a mere attraction to the pleasures of the same relationship with true happiness, and that is because they are fooled by their egos and the feeling it superficially creates in them; however, the feeling of happiness is pure and is not based upon attachment to a face, to an intellect, or to a personality–these things might help, but they do not connect two souls because these things are tied to change (one day they are there, the next day they may not be.

No, happiness is not pleasure.  Happiness is the deeper connection to a person or to an event just for the sake of giving love, for the sake of connecting; it has no reason more than the process of expanding love.   The ego expects love and happiness.  The pure heart just feels a soul connection and gives love because that is what it does… it just gives love… in the process of giving is the happiness experienced.

 

  So, pay attention in your own life and learn to see the difference between true happiness and fleeting pleasure, between what lasts and what doesn’t.  This will guide you towards true success and happiness which is real and thus brings real value to your life, to your superior development.

Mutual respect.

“We have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love us, the people who really matter.  Too much of the time, we are blinded by our own pursuits of people to love us, people that don’t even matter, while all that time we waste and the people who do love us have to stand on the sidewalk and watch us beg in the streets!  It’s time to put an end to this.  It’s time for us to let ourselves be loved.” ~ C. JoyBell C.; American philosopher and inspirational writer.

When it comes to true love there must be respect, because true love is indeed a constant celebration of respect and deep connection; and so, respect means freedom to be who you are without being bullied or judged, it means you respect the other person and are yourself respected for how you think and feel.  That is self-love.

How you think and feel must be respected, even if the other person does not agree with you.  You either respect each other or there is no love, and if there is no love to celebrate, then, what is the point of staying in a relationship with no love…??  All relationships should be for your development.

One must develop patience and understanding in any relationship, but not allow oneself to be put down or treated badly; for it is all about self-love all the time, it is about your own individual development.
 

To have self-love, you cannot live in fear of being alone, of ending the relationship and starting a new life where you can be yourself; self-love is freedom to be yourself, it is knowing that you are already whole and that people have nothing to do with how you love yourself.

So, in order to recognize true love in another there must be mutual respect, which is freedom to be yourself and not his/her slave.  And self-love is not fearing change, such is change to fix your life and get rid of relationships that do not serve you.

Breaking the chain.

“Toxic relationships of any kind not only make us unhappy; they corrupt our attitudes and dispositions in ways that undermine healthier relationships and prevent us from realizing how much better things can be.”  ~ Michael Josephson; American law professor, attorney, public speaker on ethics, businessman, and entrepreneur.

---

“Save your skin from the corrosive acids from the mouths of toxic people.  Someone who just helped you to speak evil about another person can later help another person to speak evil about you.”  ~ Israelmore Ayivor; Ghanaian inspirational writer, blogger, public speaker, and LifeSkills Entrepreneur.

If one truly desires to better one’s own life and elevate the mind through peace and self-love, then one must choose people carefully, or choose the time to be spent and the interaction one has with people.
 
There is no middle; either you are fully committed to better yourself, your thoughts, your behavior, your life, or you are lazy and ignorant enough to remain in the same place in your life all the time without any higher goals.  It is always your choice and not your surroundings.

But your choice and your passion may be influenced by the people around you, by the conversations, by the arguments; and, furthermore, specially influenced by the people you love or befriend, so you must tread carefully and not engage with toxic or negative people.

Toxic or negative people are individuals who put you down in any way, who gossip about others, who complain a lot, who always blame others, who do not fully respect your imagination and way of thinking, who are lazy themselves, who mistreat others, etc. etc.

It is extremely important that you do not spend your time with these people, choose wisely even if they are family; that is, do not avoid them if in fact they are family and you love them, but do not absorb what they preach, and specially do not fall into their arguments, into their traps.
 
Accept them as they are, do not try to change their thinking, just smile and walk away.  Be aware that self-love and your development is crucial in your life, and for all success and happiness, and that is why you must not let toxic arguments and emotions invade the holiness of your temple.

Your own mind must be pure and elevated, so only worry about that and not about others.  Analyze this wisdom and become it.
