Through Hell to reach Heaven.



Do you realize that resisting pain or some form of suffering makes it even worse….??  Running away, distracting itself, and ignoring any form of suffering is what your mind does usually, doesn’t it…??
 
The Universe or Life is ruled by lower and higher planes of thought, conscious states, realms of consciousness, where there is suffering (hell) or true bliss (heaven); but the wild nature of the human mind, the grandiose ego, is always rebelling against these laws and thus always falling into hellish visions tied to this time and space.
 
friedrichnietzsche1-2x
 
The human mind falls into suffering, into the chaos that it brings by choosing the lower planes of existence, so its experience is hell; however, how interesting is it that the mind chooses to dwell in this lower consciousness and, at the same time, it tries to run away from it–by acquiring more beliefs, by praising more gods and saints, by more relationships, by seeking more material wealth, etc.–thus bringing more suffering and blindness into its own hell.
  But how can the mind elevate itself to higher planes then…??  Consciousness is not of time and space, but the mundane human mind is; thus time and space keep the mind in lower conscious states, but the mind seeks love and happiness still, it is our nature to seek that experience, and the illusion tells the lower mind that it can be found in time and space.  It is a vicious cycle because this mind needs love and happiness, it desperately seeks it, but in running away from the suffering it remains in time and space; so, the only way to reach higher planes of thought is to embrace your suffering, your painful memories, your shame, your anger, etc..
 
When doing this, by embracing your pain, you come to the individual realization that you are elevating yourself over all the suffering, thus your consciousness actually elevates; because now you are living and accepting your present Now without past or future thoughts ruling you.  You are now accessing higher planes where time and space do not rule over your thinking and feeling; for you are using The Higher Universal Law against The Lower Universal Law… you are using true Alchemy… and you are reaching and dwelling in beautiful heaven…
 
  “Rather follow the example of the wise, which the same authority states, ‘Use Law against Law; the higher against the lower; and by the Art of Alchemy transmute that which is undesirable into that which is worthy, and thus triumph’.”  ~ Three Initiates, Kybalion, A Study of the Hermetic Philosophy of Ancient Egypt and Greece

Are you strong or weak...??

Who is your anger affecting really…??  Is anger the solution to a problem…??  When you are angry can you think clearly and make rational choices…??

29542031_439492386484129_1451765475308862016_n
 
Anger is also a condition in ourselves, a brain conditioning, a personality condition to explode and kill all patience and deeper understanding.  Anger is a weakness, even though some ignorant people out there might think anger is a macho thing for the strong, and such is because anger robs us of all mental clarity and love to understand, compassion and humility to accept what has been and what it was; furthermore, anger is a weakness also because it is an intense feeling without control and without guidance, because anger destroys and it does not create.

Anger makes us ugly and powerless, it shows us how little we know about ourselves and about each other, and how immature and impatient we are; and so, it also disconnect us from reality to move forward, because anger leaves us stranded on a past memory, dwelling on it over and over again while we distance people.  And relationship building, a deeper connection with ourselves and with others, is what this life is about, is it not…??

best-free-as-a-bird-quotes-anger-quotes-free-as-a-bird-quotes.png


Anger originates from fear, insecurity, frustration, lack of inner peace and confusion; furthermore, emotions drive us, they are the content of our personalities, so when those emotions are not explored, when you bottle those emotions deep inside or run away from them is when you become a ticking time bomb, ready to hurt yourself, even though you don’t consciously realize it, and ready to damage your relationships.


So, even though at the start is difficult, be at peace and breathe deeply before following intense emotions of memories or when interacting to the reaction of others; for patience is gained through practice, and it is strengthened through commitment to peace and harmony of mind, which is true self-love while you live the moment with acceptance.  This is real strength, to be in total control.
Are you strong or weak….??  And if you are weak, would you change your ways for yourself…??

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…??

28783396_432408427192525_5081735756221775872_n
 

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…
As-I-began-to-Love-Myself-790x790
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.
 
so-you-think-you-can-trance-the-benefits-of-meditation-2-638
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.



“Joy in looking and comprehending is nature’s most beautiful gift.” ~ Albert Einstein.

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.

26904280_415180328915335_3542752203293617652_n

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.

Death of deep thought...


All television is educational television.   The question is:  what is it teaching?”  ~Nicholas Johnson; American educator  and self-help author.

Since the advent of television, and tragically through the advancement of more and more visual garbage, most people have become zombies of the trade of existing to pollute their own minds and fracture their own brains, inasmuch as becoming willing participants of their neglected relationships and poisoned thinking processes. 
 
20376126_414902882276413_4173573513661797556_n
 
Most television shows, specially, but not limited to, the news and reality shows, as well as celebrity entertainment shows, deal with fear, as in gossip anxiety, jealousy, materialistic greed and the overall dumbing down of the human thought; therefore, via your watching these shows, your mind becomes affected, perhaps subconsciously, and poisoned because your brain plasticity (your structured learning) is absorbing and swimming in low vibratory images and words which trigger basic fears and anxious emotions within you–i.e., fears, jealousy, gossip anxiety, and poor development of intellectual thought.


Accordingly, this sick mental condition affects your behaviors and powers of intuition, such behaviors and powers of intuition which represent the key elements for all success in life, the path to all abundance and prosperity, your views in life, your awakening to the truth, and the freedom of the mind to embrace the happiness within you.


Television makes people dependent, it robs you of individuality and uniqueness without you knowing it; therefore, subconsciously, your mind alters and attaches to what you see, you learn and form your persona around what you experience, the world and reality are taught to you through this idiotic screen, your brain molds and beliefs and ideas are not yours anymore.  This continues at any age; however, the human developing brain is a sponge when we are children, so this is the time where we learn more about the world and the time where we create a strong base of reality.  What a young brain absorbs is what the individual grows up to be, either a follower who thinks and acts for himself and sees reality as it really is, or some drone who carries superficial thoughts borrowed from the mediocre masses with no inner vision of his own.

“The dumbing down of America, and of other media-heavy countries, is evident in the slow decay of substantive content, a kind of celebration of ignorance.” ~ Carl Sagan; astronomer, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, lecturer.

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.

d07fde8d754f7933ae027bb9b877819e
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.

Greater Development







“Life is a moving, breathing thing.  We have to be willing to constantly evolve.  Perfection is constant transformation.” ~ Nia Peeples; American R&B and dance music singer and actress.
“The whole point of being alive is to evolve into the complete person you were intended to be.” ~ Oprah Winfrey.


Are you the same person today that you were last month…??  Have you experienced something new and learned from it…??  Have you analyzed your mistakes or difficult situations of the past and learned wisdom to make better choices and build the best life you can…??

Life tries to teach you something so you can evolve and grow as a human being, so stop whining and train your mind to understand life and whatever you go through; because nothing is random, everything has a purpose, and your only task is to calm your mind in the middle of the storm and find a way to grow and progress.
 
26169855_408634759569892_3651138958519076514_n
 
Feeling sorry for yourself and remaining lost and confused will not help you in any way, but it will stop you from growth and fill you with contempt and fear.  This is what living life chained to fear itself is, and most people, even though they are good people and they even can be our family and friends, live like this without even realizing it.  The asleep state of the world.
  It is interesting to me how life is constantly helping us to awaken ourselves to these things, helping us evolve because that is the whole purpose of being here, evolving, elevation; however, man has designed this illusion, this fixation with the negative, for this lower man truly believes that life is out to get him, that life has some demons going around wreaking all sorts of havoc.  Of course, these demons are the nonsense of religious thought since the beginning of mental slavery; and these are just ego-centered activity designed out of fear.


But the awakened man, seeing the ignorance ruling the lower mind of the masses, steps out from all this garbage; for he knows that this is the ignorant activity of a mind which is filled by superstition and tradition, so he frees himself, so he looks at life’s challenges and learns wisdom. 
So you must be awakened as well then, see life with a wise and positive outlook.  What is the point of living your life in fear of change thinking that you can’t achieve greater progress…??

seed-we-plant
Patience and faith, persistence and commitment, are very important for the healthier growth.  Don’t just work for what you want but experience the passion in each cell of your body, because this will help you create a greater development of yourself and of your life.

Learn to calm your mind, analyze what happened in your life, and create lessons which can help you evolve and grow stronger; otherwise you will not be able to heal yourself, move on, and create that greater life you want.

To a better life.


“I think if you stop bad habits, and you stop long enough, you develop good habits.”  ~ Jordan Knight; American singer-songwriter and actor.
“The key to forming good habits is to make them part of your ‘rituals.’  I have a morning ritual, afternoon ritual, and Sunday ritual.   It’s one way to bundle good habits into regular times that you set aside to prepare yourself for the life you want. Rituals help you form habits.”  ~ Lewis Howes; American author, entrepreneur, former professional Arena League football player, and social media expert.



The mind is the seat of all that we do, better put, ‘the seat of all habit;’ and so, most habits are done subconsciously, our minds conditioned since birth, but in order to make those subconscious habits conscious we must self-reflect, inquire within ourselves and watch how we feel and think, analyze our daily behaviors with conscience before doing them.

 
26169631_407890832977618_7609864089813573201_n
 
In order to create a good and truly happy life, and in order to create a successful and unique one, good thoughts and intentions are not enough; that is to say, good thoughts and intentions are important, but if you do not act on them, if you do not change your behaviors, is because your lazy ego, which does not like to get out of its comfort zone, is still ruling you and your life.

Good daily habits and a strong, healthy mind go hand in hand, and these are the cornerstones upon which all good actions in life are built; and so, you cannot be truly awaken if good habits and a strong, healthy mind do not dictate your behaviors daily.

You cannot be truly awaken just because you have good knowledge and deep thoughts, but these should be carried in your daily habits as well, otherwise they are null, void, an illusion of great and ego-centered activity.

Create good habits by analyzing yourself and your daily steps, understand that this process must be taken seriously in order for real and great change to come your way, and be conscious about each step you take:

Developing+skills+for+change +Creating+a+personal+plan 

 The road to being truly great in life must be reality, built facts which speak of your superior and wiser awakening; but a nice thought, a nice belief, deep knowledge, deep conversations, etc., these are not reality, these are not facts.

Thus, actions, real change, good behaviors which build and create, which mold and sculpt you like a masterpiece to make your life a masterpiece as well, yes, this is reality, these are facts you can trust for happiness and success.

The Way of The Warrior.

 
“To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true.” ~ Aristotle.
“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact.  Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.” ~ Marcus Aurelius.

                                                        The Way of The Warrior
 
25994946_404867756613259_3425195194609118974_n

One cannot simply survive and each day hope for the best without altering what one does, but one must do anew, change one’s actions, change one’s ideas, become a warrior in one’s own life. To see life with different eyes, fresh eyes, such eyes that are not exhausted by stubborn views and oppressing situations; therefore, a new breath must bring a fresh start, which means boldly gather yourself and keep making yourself better without stopping to self-pity or to entertain the opinions of others.

Opinions are never facts for the warrior who is wise and based on truth, so opinions do not shake him one bit when the fools of the world open their mouths to spew their ego-centered garbage.
When everyone else sees darkness and chaos, you must see light and order; thus, your mind becomes the mind of a warrior whose only purpose is the truth.  And the truth is that which lies within yourself, and the truth is what makes the warrior because self-love is the truth; then, whenever you see lies and deceit in the world, whenever people and situations try to pressure you into lying to yourself, into deviating from your own path, your mind will be strong and firm upon the truth which is deep within you.

This is what separates the warrior who sees and knows the light from the individual who only survives in the darkness because he does not see and know the light in himself; thus, the warrior is never lost, and the individual in darkness is lost even until physical death comes to claim him, and when that happens the fool has lost his time.

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.

25593973_402988736801161_5229898850263529817_n

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.

quote-mutual-respect-is-the-foundation-of-genuine-harmony-dalai-lama-81-65-02
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.

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.

 
9ab18aa88e858e60360091f17dd28bb4--bible-quotes-forgiveness-forgive-quotes
 
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.
 
forgiveness-1
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…??
