When the silence talks

Throughout the years of my life, I have had experiences that could have easily been spread over several lifetimes, such concentrated lessons in a succession of events that seemed at points to be the very end of the experience in this body. That’s how strongly their pain has been felt.

An external observer would be unable to assess the true vastness and range of experiences, as many of the recent events that touched me were mostly internal battles, inner struggles and processes of transmutation. I am amazed by the fact that I am still here, back again from my inner infernal places, able to write about it all.

I have risen and fallen so many times. I have reached heights of understanding and realizations that I am still surprised I managed to grasp, and at points I was deprived (I forgot) of all that knowledge and wisdom, and even been pushed again to plunge so deep back into the very depths of my shadowy self, to the very abyss that we are all trying to pretend it exists not within our hidden chambers. And yet here I am, all scarred, dusty and almost lost, found again with a true smile on my face and unlimited gratitude to the Grace of the Eternal that manifested through people, events and the entire movements of the gears of Life and its incredible stories and twists.

Such an amazing game of hide and seek we’re playing with ourselves. Such a great example of the living paradox that is a Soul exploring the lower material plane, such a trap, so cunning this construct and so incredibly booby-trapped at every step. Everything yells for our attention and energy, everything is doing its utmost to steal some juice(energy) from us one way or another, to keep us blind, stumbling in mediocrity. It’s indeed a war, but not with any external forces, but with internal self-created demons who are fighting to preserve and defend the status quo, to try and ensure the survival of the old paradigms of control and their self-preservation.

I am living a true miracle, but only now do I recognize it as such. My old self would scoff and roll his eyes in disbelief and hopelessness, as probably the reaction of the majority of people who ever met me. My “miracle” may look like nothing or even like a scary thing for the unadvised. The simplicity of it all is almost impossible to grasp by the overcomplicated reasoning mechanism of the limited mind bound to old concepts. Even I have fallen back to old paradigms so many times, unable to hold onto the realization of the truth.

I am! I truly feel that these 2 words and 3 letters are all encompassing, like the primordial particle out of which everything sprouted out. “I am” is realized in silence.

The silence and its power are often times misunderstood and disregarded. Yet when you dare facing it, embracing it, it’ll talk to you and you will Know! When you embrace the “boredom” of staying in silence with yourself, the whole Universe will reveal its hidden song, the song of Life and Love, the song that reminds us that we are One, that we are enough, and it is in every single moment of Now that we are always wholesome and perfect.

When we embrace what we used to run away from, we will be able to get all the missing parts of the puzzle that we were searching for only in our comfort zone. Such a fallacy, to look for knowledge and wisdom only where we expect it to be, as silly as being on a bridge and losing a precious object in the river, yet deciding to look for it on the bridge to avoid wetting our clothes.

Truth and pieces of it are found in the places that we least expect. One of this “places” is the silence. What’s ignored, and disregarded, has hidden in it some juice that can’t be found elsewhere. Dare to turn each stone in your life upside down with courage and determination, and you will hear the silence that speaks, that sings and that guides.

My deepest gratitude to my Guru and the entire Higher realm that protects and guides us!

True happiness

Our idea of happiness, whilst associated with a person, an object, a place or time, is doomed to flip into unhappiness.

As long as we project the idea of happiness and associate it with anything or anyone outside of us, it will inevitably create and bring about the opposite of what we want, hope, and expect.

Let’s say that we associate our happiness with our loving wife or husband, with whom we share a beautiful relationship. Eventually, that relationship will end one way or another, be it separation, death or any other possible reason; the certain thing is that it is going to end. So happiness being rooted in the external world (outside of us) is always prone to failure.

True happiness is when we finally reside fully within our body, untouched by any external event, people or anything, always bathing in the blissful light of our Being. That happiness is the only true happiness that is worth searching for. It’s the coming-home feeling, the ultimate love found in the union of the Divine Feminine and Masculine inside our very Being, Yin and Yang, and Yoga (Union).

While writing this, I am bathing in that inner happiness that relies on nothing outside of me, and, therefore, it is not bound to vanish ever, even in the moments of distress when I am called outside my being, or when I am distracted and separated from it; that inner peace is still there silently shining, like an inner sun dazzling from within, just for me to remember to return to after the outside incursion.

This true happiness that I am talking about is the very essence of our Being, the Love of the primordial Source hidden in the center of all those particles that separated from It, one day to return home, called by the Highest Vibration of Love and Bliss that is reunification with the Eternal.

The message I am trying to convey is rather abstract and hard, almost impossible to put into words, but without a doubt can be felt and accessed within your very Self. Therefore, dare to look inside yourself and find that most intimate, deepest connection and Love that is always closer to you and your heart than anything and that was patiently waiting for you to remember to listen to that inner silence that sings, to touch that inner peace that can change not only our bodies and proximity but the very world we’re experiencing and everything that we bring into our active consciousness.

Once we get even a glimpse of this true Happiness, we will not put all the eggs into one (external) basket; we won’t be easily distracted by the external calls of the Illusion to capture our attention and energy, but we will calmly step outside (into the world – matrix) with that unshakeable determination and playful attitude that being established in our own Essence can give us.

We were never unhappy, just disconnected from the Source, that Source that is within us and all over outside of us, and there’s nothing that is not That.

In order to become Something, unbecome everything

We tend to approach our growth and evolution in the same distorted way as an ambitious approach to achieve material wealth and success in the world. It is the very greed-fueled approach that seems to be so “normal”. Unfortunately you can’t use tools used in carpentry in a marble quarry. Therefore an old approach to understanding the depths of the Universe, mysteries and secrets beyond the apparent with our obsolete tools are going to be promoting an imaginary type of evolution which is only happening in our fantasy and ego.

It’s hard to convey in words what I realized within, but let the transmission of my realization reach out to all of you reading and may at some point reach the same realization if you haven’t done so already.

In order to realize things out of the box, we have to be out of the box. Exiting our “righteous” routines and ways to look at the experience are helping us to step out and have a broader understanding of the world and everything. The sailors on a sailboat can blow air into the sail as powerful as they can but the boat will stand unmoved regardless, as in order to exert the influence on that sail one has to be outside of the boat.

The path to “the out of the box” realm is by changing the way we see things, people and events. Whilst we still see those in very dual way, like: those are my friends and these are the enemies, you will still be blowing in your sail while standing on the boat.

Once we start stoicly accepting everything in our lives as ours to have and we stop perceiving people in a antagonistic way, realizing that everyone is a catalyst in our potential unfolding, life will start to look different, and even events and people will stop being so triggering for us.

It took me a lot of time to get here and I am still wondering if I can be able to mantain this level of perception tomorrow, as the Matrix tries to bring us back to its thralls but the heck with tomorrow, as it doesn’t exist.. I am here now and I can read this article tomorrow (if tomorrow comes), and  I will remember today’s realization.

To come back to the title, when we stop wanting to become anything, and we start detangling from the bondage of all the ideas we have about ourselves, and everything else, practically unbecoming everything, the reality rushes in, and pompous words like “we are all One” really start to be perceived at their proper depth, as perceiving a level of reality that renders all previous ideas and concepts obsolete.

Everything that used to excite my imagination and look for in the future just stopped being appealing. I can and will still have some of those, but there’s no “need” or longing for any of those, a real level of detachment dawned onto me. And at first is so painful like you wake up and see all the fake, glitter and sparkling stuff falling off everything that we used to appreciate and look forward to getting,  now showing its ugly, rusted and even unnecessary side.

If you are ready to abandon the pursuit of all those little things that used to give a meaning to life, then this is how it goes, but if not yet, no worries. I believe that this realization comes only after diving deep in the material plane (illusion) with awareness, when you realize that you are Sisyphus, and trying to push that boulder uphill will never work and you decide to just accept that hilltop without the boulder there. The boulder in this case is all that baggage of ideas and concepts that used to be the background ruler of everything happening in our lives.

When we stop wanting to be recognized as anything, and we allow people to misunderstand and wrongly assume that we are like this or like that, then we’ve walked a long way and our disillusionment is very close. There’s nothing to defend, or prove. Whoever is to get our true essence they will, whoever is not to grasp who and what are we about, they will not, regardless of us trying to convince  or prove them otherwise.

When you unbecome all the ideas you had about yourself, then you become “I am”, and that is impossible to explain in words, you don’t need any quality attached to that “I am” as you are Everything and Nothing. That takes you out of the trap of souls: that makes you be in the world, yet not of the world; no longer wanting to save anyone or anything as you’ll start seeing the perfection of the world as it is, in its apparent imperfection.

What we avoid should be embraced

People in their majority, and here I also include myself, are programed to avoid certain feelings, people, and experiences altogether, although in reality, I have noticed that valuable information and lessons are hidden where we least expect and implicitly in what we avoid.

I can give a very mundane example in which my entire life I was trying to keep myself comfortable especially when coming to extreme temperatures, be it cold or hot. I was always shaking uncontrollably when exposed to cold and suffering greatly when exposed to heat.

One day I went to the sauna with my girlfriend at that time and usually I like warm shower even after the sauna, even if the majority may use a cold shower to create resilience both of the body as of character.

My girlfriend went straight into the cold water which was probably no more than couple of degrees, and was just sitting there without whining or shaking. That was the moment when I was in awe with her stoic resilience and realized that I was weak in this particular matter.

Some years after I was talking to a friend online and said that I am not going out because it was very cold and I I would rather stay in the warmth of my home.

She laughed and said that men sometimes can be so weak, and that she prefers pushing her limits to build her character. Again I felt I was doing something wrong. Since that moment I started taking cold showers after the hot one. The first ones were probably less than 5 seconds 😁, but slowly I increased the time until I reached the moment when I can easily take only cold shower in the morning, and also in the pools I started using the cold water pools which are 0 degrees, and I stay there 2 to 3 minutes at a time.

As a beneficial result I see that my resilience to extreme temperatures increased several fold, as to the point that this winter I haven’t been using a hat despite very cold days. But my point is not in emphasizing the physiological benefits but rather to point out my realization of the fact that when we avoid something and try to force into our lives just the pleasant or comfortable, then we force life to push onto us those gathered small inconvenient events that we avoid snowballed into a big “negative” event to restore the balance.

As I stated in previous articles, I feel life as a continuous ebbing and flowing, a continuous change from Yin to Yang and vice-versa into a perpetual movement of the polarities.

So to get to the theory I propose to my readers to observe:

If we don’t embrace the negative aspects and events, which in reality are not only not “negative” at all, but teaching and enhancing our awareness and forcing us to reason, observe and ponder on the experience, then the choice is that we will have life, or consciousness forcing onto us the gathered accumulated negative charge which can be too much for us to bear.

So just by having a cold shower we embrace the discomfort that at first we experience whilst having it, although later the whole negative aspect of it flips into positive. Just by extrapolation, you can realize inside your own life whenever you try to avoid the discomfort and hoping for the opposite, and choose to change the approach.

As such, when we avoid certain type of people or/and experiences that life is pushing onto us over and over again, we fail to examine the reason behind that, as nothing in life just happens, as I don’t believe anymore in that neither in the existence of sheer luck.

So there are several benefits as I have noticed in embracing what we usually tend to reject or run away from. And those benefits are multidimensional. And once we realize that just by embracing and facing what we used to try to escape from, life will become smoother and more balanced.

With gratitude for Anna (the friend I talked about above ) , who unknowingly inspired me to face the harsh weather and implicitly life’s challenges.

The powerful energy of love

Have you ever noticed a man, in your circle of friends, acquaintances or co-workers, even a stranger that shines, that has a charm, a charisma that you can’t pinpoint, regardless if he’s just a normal-looking guy, a handsome man or even a not so good looking one, and there’s no real explanation to why is he so bright, so charismatic, so great?

Well, it’s because a good woman loves him. It’s because he’s being showered by her gentle, sweet and very powerful energy of love. It’s because her heart is open to him. So now we can remember the saying that behind any powerful man, there’s a powerful or an even more powerful woman. It is a divine law. Women and men are supposed to be balancing each other, complementing and completing themselves as Yin complements and completes Yang.

Many times it happens to men in their youth since they are young, and relatively pure, untarnished by the world that much (although that spoiling happens already in younger and younger ages). But they get with a girl/woman that starts to love them. That’s when their charisma starts expanding, and they notice that women are seeing them, and it’s so empowering and making their self-esteem reach the roof.

The risk is also that they’ll fall prey to that feeling of being so good, so great, unknowingly of the true source of their power. That’s when they start considering other women, believing that grass might be greener on the other side. It’s a test of life, that always balances every single imbalance. So their love is tested, and unfortunately, it’s so hard to fight that feeling that you are the belly button of the world. After indulging in their success the time of fall comes, because they have so many dissonant energies, due to misusing the pure love mixing it with fleeting infatuations with other women.

So the loving woman will feel it and even without her knowing she will start feeling unhappy, unfulfilled, and unloved even if the external actions of the guy didn’t quite change. So this is the beginning of the end, from here everything is like an avalanche, everything is snowballing into the eventual disaster even if it may still last for a while.

The best advice I have for all the men out there that have someone who loves them, is to close the door to your mind, heart and body for any other woman in that intimate way. Dedicate yourself full-heartedly, serve her and love her with all your being, and you will be rewarded heftily by life, and by her. But be rather selfless, don’t do it for the rewards, since you can’t trick consciousness. Know that you are her protector, nourisher, the peace creator and love provider in her life, the one that she relies on.

A man who has developed and integrated a very strong and healthy feminine aspect besides the masculine side is gifted with the same power of making his woman shine too, heal and be charismatic as in the case of a woman loving her man. This is rather rare in this day and age when men are players and hunters. Women have learned to develop this same unhealthy masculine aspect in themselves, hunting and playing for the sake of instant gratification.

Unfortunately, these abusers will be hit by the balancing force of life itself and they will need to face the repercussions of their actions, to understand the value of true, genuine, and unconditional love to their counterparts. But nothing is forever and they will be given chances over and over to finally break through their limitations and bad decisions.

Coming back to the adult which is shining because of his woman, if he transcends his lower nature and tendencies, he will have a chance to a higher level of vibration which is intensely changing, uplifting and healing on all possible levels. He should close himself to seeing anything other than his beloved, as seeing himself in a black-and-white movie that fails anymore to capture his interest, if he knows what’s good for him and together they will prosper and advance in a harmonious, sacred type of relationship where each serves the other selflessly, hence their needs are automatically fulfilled, and grace of the Ultimate is within that couple, protecting them and multiplying their blessings, a testimony and an example of how people should behave with their counterparts.

So many players, occultists and other men who are aware of this secret are taking advantage and trying to capture the power of the loving woman, but they are the most ignorant and prone to failure, if they believe that they can trick life and get away with it. The more they misuse the woman and their power, the harder and more unbearable their pain will be. Therefore my advice would be: take whatever is yours, cherish it and be grateful for it with all your being, and life will always take care of you as a loving mother caring and nourishing their babies. You won’t be able to sustain what is not yours, even if you achieve it, it will be through huge struggles and trouble and it will be shortlived.

Love the woman you chose and be always grateful to the Highest for meeting her, and to her for choosing you. Make her happy and your life will be flowing harmoniously. Love her with honesty, love her with dedication, love her with all your being and no matter how much opposition you’ll encounter in life, she’ll be behind you, supporting you with her wonderful energy, as you protect her and nourish her in the material, spiritual, mental and emotional aspects.

But to be honest, I believe that finding that partner that is ready to dedicate to you and you to them is a rather very rare occurrence and whoever had a chance to experience this rare type of union should make sure that they are feeding every single day that beautiful flame of genuine love with actions and words, like an oil being poured every day that will feed the lamp of their love, because as soon as they cool off, and get lazy in their dedication love will diminish in intensity and most likely fade away.

Is there such thing as happiness?

Happiness is unreachable for people that always want something..

When one doesn’t want anything, happiness is reached, because not wanting anything means being at peace, without searching, without looking for anything, just acceptance of what it is, and that’s when we discover the state of Beingness!

Fulfillment of a desire will ignite several others and we often forget to stop chasing things, people and experiences, unawares that whatever is ours to be will be provided, even pushed by life onto us.

As soon as we stop wanting, and see how much we already have and realize that whatever is needed, is always provided by the Universe, the whole paradigm shifts and we get a chance to know that happiness is already with us at any single point in time, already here in the present moment where nothing is missing, nothing is ever wrong, even whilst in the midst of the most terrifying of the storms.

Yes, even when in a very troublesome moment or unwanted event we can always go within and experience that peace and love! And that my friend, is who we truly are.

Whatever else is fleeting, but that Eternal Being which can be named as peace, love, bliss, calm and humbleness is always there for us, it is who we truly are! Just tune in! Just allow turmoil to be there for as long as necessary, and go back to who you truly are.

Withdraw all your attention within from whatever external elements, people and events that keep you scattered, and I bet you that an imperceptible smile will appear on your calm face. You will know what I mean! Just tune in to the eternal peace that we all are, that’s within each and all of us.
