You are already Everything

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Let’s start with the basics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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