don’t rush – Inspired by and dedicated to Jivanmukti and Siddha Param-Para

Vasanas

Our lives are under the spell of past deeds and old patterns, crystallized into the so-called Vasanas which are patterns of behavior, predispositions, karmic and emotional responses. Seeking pleasure, running from pains, laziness, promiscuity, desire for/and addiction to objects, to people and emotions, craving for happiness, desire to get rid of pain through escapism and blaming others rather than taking full responsibility for own actions or reactions and events that happen to us. All these are the effects of Vasanas. These are all boulders chained to our ankles, not allowing us to walk freely, neither allowing us to see things for what they truly are.

Reading scriptures or writings of people on the path or writings of people that have achieved liberation are understood by each individual very differently. According to the stage of their evolution everyone has a certain mind setting and heart opening to understand certain aspects of the writings and the message embedded in them by the authors. Some very advanced books or writings may seem like gibberish, or boring, even unintelligible or of a too abstract nature… probably because they may be read too soon or the person is yet too engrossed in Samsara (the “material” world). But no worries, as the child is first learning to stand and only afterwards to walk, in the same way we are unable to force things to go faster, ahead of their time or in a different sequence rather than that which is suitable for us. But the intelligence of Life itself is beyond our comprehension at the moment.

At first we are all just hungry for information. Some good information was coming mixed with the unnecessary one, but it’s all part of the learning process. So at first the desire for true knowledge is aroused, and I say without fear of mistaking that this is the very beginning of the Path. We may “waste time” reading books or articles, watching YouTube videos which maybe have no relevance now maybe, but it’s just a piece of the whole puzzle. How can you appreciate the Truth if you don’t notice (first) the illusion? How can you notice the illusion before being deeply immersed into it? How can we understand what the Vasanas are unless we allow them(at first) to spin us around and show us what is NOT the way. How sturdy will we be on the path of truth if we haven’t seen the lie?

Everything is correct in each moment of Now. We are in the perfect place, perfect timing and perfect circumstances. One may argue that it’s not so. I am not saying from the “normality” point of view, I am saying from a spiritual perspective. If we were even able to imagine it, we would have been There already.

How can you tell in the midst of drama (if?) what happens has a true and beneficial potential for your growth, when all we can see and feel is just pain and the suffering that makes us forget ourselves?

If in these moments of distress, we are able to withstand the old urges of acting or reacting, Vasanas lose their power onto us. Slowly, slowly,by not taking over and over again [the] same steps as we did in the past, we overcome and transcend old patterns of behavior which are obstructing our free flow on the road to Self-Mastery.

Do you think that you can achieve better results in applying once again the same “remedy” that was proven inefficient for lifetimes? If you try to solve the problems with the same mathematics, you will invariably get the same distorted result and fail again and again. If you really want to evolve, to break through all your limitations, find [a] solution “outside of the box”, outside of the comfort zone that you were using as a refuge each time you were in trouble. Don’t use the limited, logical mind in those situations, it’s going to be taking you back into the same loops that you are trying to escape. Take the leap of faith, jump into the unknown and know that you are protected by Life itself and even more, if you have found the true Guru, that lineage is going to be protecting you. Trust, surrender, jump. Mind(rudimentary/logical/unrefined mind), Ego, Vasanas, all are old friends that you have to part with for a chance to a new beginning, otherwise old friends are enforcing old habits and the old habits are pulling us back to the perpetual loop of mediocrity and suffering.

Surrender yourself to the Guru. Guru is Shiva. Remember Guru in time[s] of distress and forget everything else, and Guru will save you. Trust beyond trust, put all your life force and dedication into the process, because there’s no other more important endeavor than to uprooting the old, in order to be born anew. Lose all the attachments for objects, for enjoyment or for people whoever they may be, or you’ll be spinning in the big centrifuge of Samsara. Know what is eternal and what is illusion and choose wisely.

The blissful equinamous Being is eternal, everything else is illusion. Neutrality is the point of resting of a pendulum. So try to bring yourself to rest in the 0 point of existence. Stay in the 0 point of neither suffering nor enjoying, neither good nor bad, although people from outside may interpret the situation you’re in as good or bad, yet you are there without interpretation, without story. That’s the eternal chalice of Immortality, the Holy Grail of Everything, the Ultimate, the Absolute, Brahman. That is the point of no return, the point of enlightenment. We are already There, yet we’re unaware, so don’t even try to use your mind, desire and ambition to reach there, because mind, desire and ambition are again a very smart trick to pull you back into the Matrix. Establish yourself in a natural moral code, remove logic and logical analysis because they are Vasanas, just surrender to life and remain untarnished by whatever you are experiencing. Be free from cravings, desires, ambition, comparison, addictions and thoughts. Experience whatever comes in neutrality and you have freed yourself from the shackles of illusion. Remember that one of the Sun’s rays, by reaching out to a very remote and dark area, enlightens and warms up that area, transforming it, bringing it to life. The same with the Guru; once you open your heart and soul to the Guru’s Grace, you will transform as the arid dark and icy land that was hidden from the sun’s face becomes a prosperous, warm and fertile land.

There are good and bad predispositions. The good ones are the achievements from past lives, beneficial programs, high moral standards, imprinted into the soul to counter the effects of the bad ones. Eventually they are all to be transcended into pure Beingness, devoid of characteristics or qualities.

May all the readers have the chance to discover the true Guru within that will create the possibility of meeting the outer Guru and once you find the True Guru, may you never let go of that True Guru’s Lotus feet, because they are your Divine link to finding your inner Divinity.

Embrace everything

Stop complaining about the world you are finding yourself in. If your place would have been elsewhere you would definitely be there. So while you are here, make sure you understand why you are in this place and time, and make sure you are diligently taking care of everything that life brings to your attention and learn the lessons attached to every single occurrence.

The world we share is the most perfect place we can be, due to the actual state of wisdom and understanding that we share, as soon as we learned the lessons, did our job and realized what’s to be realized, do what’s to be done and experience what is to be experienced, our existence in this realm will become obsolete, hence we will head to the next level of the soul evolution.

So there’s no point to whine, or lament anything. Everything is always the best place and timeline for our soul to be in. Every single being we encounter, are there to share something, to give or take something, to play the divine plan. There is nothing that is ever a play of chance, no random events, no luck. We categorize things under these terms because of our incapacity of seeing everything from a broader perspective, because we don’t see the infinite chain of causality that brought these things, elements, beings and happenings to existence.

We are never off the path. Everyone is always on their own unique path of growth. For some is almost invisible since there’s no active search and desire to be on it, yet the life events are pushing one to face elements that are promoting greater awareness and knowledge. But it can take tens or hundreds of lives until the soul is engaged in active search of his true Self, and until is actively engaged in the tedious process of removing the veils of ignorance and programs that fetter one to the illusion.

Once one is actively searching, looking for the Ultimate, all the falsity will be gradually burned, pushed to the surface and brought to the awareness to be transmuted. This path is accelerated, karma is faced in a more rapid manner, and life may look hectic and eventful. This is definitely not for the weak, victimized and used to blame external factors or element people. The weak will abandon it rapidly, showing the intelligence of the path itself: no one that is not ready and mature, will be able to walk on the narrow and steep road towards self-realization.

So when people want things to happen faster, they’re going to be going on the faster track, yet if it’s too much to bear, they will be returned to the slower, more bearable one, according to their current state. Therefore we should realize that each individual soul has their own particular path towards the collective goal of Unity, each having their own speed, and different experiences to have, so there should be no comparison neither competition since we can only have what’s ours to have.

We might cling to ideas and projections of how life should be, how spiritual evolution should go. They’re all misconceptions and daydreaming. Evolution is not comprehended by our actual perception, since it is a limited, not yet evolved mode of perception. But one can definitely observe how things evolved compared to the past events and mode of understanding, looking back on how we used to perceive the world and ourselves and the understanding that we have now.

So the best advice is to surrender to life, knowing that you are taken care of, and that whatever you are getting your way, are yours to experience and deal with. Don’t project or expect for things to go in a certain way, because it’s highly unlikely that is going to happen ever in that expected manner. If it’s happening like that, be cautious, it might be a self-created illusion in the Illusion itself.

So in conclusion, the world is perfect in its own apparent imperfection, providing us with the necessary elements and events for us to go further, but the free will is always providing us with choice, and unfortunately the easy choice many times takes us on the longer path. So maybe you should embrace the hard, problematic and apparently dangerous path, because easy paths are taking nowhere.

Lazy people who are waiting to be saved are in a loop that may keep them prisoners in the matrix for lifetimes, and in deep ignorance. True evolution goes hand in hand with assiduous work with oneself and lots of willpower to overcome the programming and darkness accumulated through the eons and taking full responsibility for everything coming our way, refusing to apply old approaches (that took us nowhere) to life.

Wake up from sleep, step into the Light, shake yourself free from fetters of darkness and ignorance, embrace your Divine Essence, and become a tool of Light.

That peace, that love, that bliss…

Once we taste a very good quality of Sencha tea, in my case my favorite is organic Midori No Kaori from Uji province in Japan, then everything else that is below that level no longer feels tasty as it used to be, all of the sudden they all feel fake, a very faint reminiscence of what true quality should taste like.

As such with our true Being, once we get a glimpse of that inner Being that resides in all and everything, the peace that we feel (that is the emanation of the Being), is like the scent of the rose… invisible yet powerful and going beyond the limitations of the physical form.

Sometimes we are dragged back into the vortex of Samsara, the very mundane life that we thought we uprooted but even if we allow ourselves to be blinded again for a while, we will long for that true essence which sheds light to the so called reality we are living in and makes it look like a black and white movie that can’t be mistaken for reality.

At points the emotional turmoil captures our awareness and we lack that spiritual objectivity from before the upheaval, but deep inside ourselves that Being is slowly unveiled, like growing (although in reality nothing is growing, everything was always there, only under some heavy veils and distortions). As soon as the power of the emotions subsides, peace comes back in unless we are trying to draw conclusions, analyze and give meaning to things that have no meaning whatsoever. Whatever happens has no true purpose other than teaching you to accept and let go of each and every moment of Now. Thoughts are bombarding us with suggestions: do this, do that, don’t do this and that, leave, run, attack..

Best approach is to smile or even laugh out loud. It’s at that moment that all the power that we invested our mind with is similar to the power which we give to the government and politicians that are no longer working in our best interest anymore,..everything fake falls into pieces by the Lotus feet of the Ultimate Existence which we all are.

Annihilate the mind projections and analysis, the thoughts and feelings and you are going to dive deep into your Being, no judgment, no projection, no concepts…Become pure perception, just pure unhindered existence. That’s who we all are. That peace, that Love, that bliss, that calmness and humbleness is who we truly are.

All the rest, ideas, names, titles, possessions, attire, and anything other than that are just separating tools, tools that empower the lower ego, the “little self” who is forever victimized and in fear, who judges and analyzes the experience through past traumas and distorted memories and is driven by the desire to control the external environment.

When you are able to get even for a small amount of time away from the mind and ego and taste that inner Blissful Being, then you will have only one vision: how to expand that Being which is You and Everything, into transcending all the past ideas and rulers and becoming fully That which you have always been.

The selfless person is not competing anymore for anything, because they know that what’s theirs is there without effort, without fighting (for it), just because of who they are, because they’re flowing with Life and know that what’s theirs to have cannot be taken away and they do not let the experience bound them. We are One and All already, why are you running for a minute portion when you are everything that ever was, is and will be. Don’t misinterpret the “without the effort” part, we still have to give our 100% in everything we do, yet it comes almost effortless since it is a flow of You in the experience.

Now sit back and watch everything from the point of view of the information you’ve received. Everything is empowered and created by you. All your pleasure and pain is just seeing your creation through a very narrow standing point. Once you transcend, the illusion seems like it lost its shine, you see the flaws and the ephemeral nature of everything within it and you know that you are immortal and you are going to Be, long after this whole movie will end!

Rely on nothing

We all have things, people and beliefs that define our position and keep us floating in this illusion. All these reference points are just anchors into this self-created illusion of our minds. Throughout our lives we are proven that all these reference points are not so important and in fact might be just our fear creating them as we are holding tight to a securing rope while being in a high ground.

All these fake ideas are challenged by life and this is the reason why we experience mostly misery, because we are enforcing, creating and holding onto these fake props in this ephemeral existence while experiencing this human body. If we are aware enough and stop this frenzy of continuously defining the existence, analyzing and interpreting it, we would suddenly realize that we are just pure existence, as a tiny little particle unbound by anything, free in the infinity of the Void. But that may scare us, because we are so used to being tied up to some secure place, a rock, a building, a person, something that would feed us the illusion of safety. Forget about safety and you’ll experience the Self, that true Higher Being that you are and always been.

The need for safety comes from fear, comes from the conviction that we are in danger, comes from the ignorance of not knowing who and what we truly are, hence not trusting life fully. You should know that this is a game and all those concepts, ideas and beliefs are part of the game program to keep you ignorant, to keep you enslaved, to continuously feed it with your fears, insecurities, desires and continuously wasting your energy trying to fix and control things and people that aren’t fixable neither controllable.

Wake up and start dropping everything that is so familiar, that gives you security, drop the idea of being a man or a woman and misogyny will vanish, feminism will vanish,.. Forget the color of your skin and there can be no racism. Let go of the desire to control and everything will be always as it should,.. Perfect!

Do you see it? It’s not that we become knowledgeable and get rid of the ignorance by accumulating information, but by getting rid of all the information that we were storing and relying our reality upon. This is the thing no one wants to say, because it’s not easy to understand from a complex, logically and analytically inclined person. Drop all points of reference and ideas and the result will be the Ultimate knowledge dawning on your Being.

From my observation I have noticed that it is very hard for people to let go of things that they believe that define who they are, a doctor (as an example) is not ready to accept its ignorance, because this is the “virus” that academic knowledge is planting into us, the belief that we know, which is the attribute of the very ignorant human.

When true knowledge is born within we are suddenly realizing how ignorant we are (still) by still lacking the full image of everything and by realizing how different reality is, compared with what we were assuming and projecting that it was. Even when that inner knowledge is born inside, it is not enough for us to decide that we are now knowledgeable.

So to summarize: the true spiritual knowledge will be humbling us down; on the other hand the academic, dry and bookish knowledge is just feeding the ego and empowering the mind more and more until the moment of the rigidity reaches its pinnacle and that being will get to a point of no return in this lifetime, hence fast degradation of the physical body takes place culminating with the demise of the person.

Imagine your existence in the middle of a canvas, with all those chords and safety ropes, all those needles pinning it into the center of that canvas as a captured insect pinned for the amusement and study of a biology student. You are there on that canvas almost unable to move because of all those things securing that position. As soon as you start cutting all that unnecessary things away, the movement of the being will slowly slowly enhance, until full freedom is achieved by removing the last chords and pins and realizing their obsolescence. The fake point in the middle of the canvas, that was imagined and created by the ego will disappear along with the canvas itself and the whole limited image about self and the surroundings are vanishing, knowing that we are not in a box or on a canvas, but we are in the Infinite Body of the Absolute, free to roam everywhere, free to explore the individual, limited experience in the world, but unbounded by it and with the full knowledge of being One with everything.

By cutting everything that you are not, you discover slowly what you are truly, and the separation starts vanishing, because there has never been anything other than Yourself existing out there.

Be true to yourself

If we are true to ourselves we automatically become true to the world. Because whatever external people, things or events exist out there, it is our mind creating that, and whatever is inside gets manifested outside in the form of people, things and events. The more resolved our past traumas and events are the smoother the external world will flow.

When we decide to be honest with ourselves, we would not be able to entertain some external person or thing that is not resonating with us anymore, but we will cut through the bullshit like a sharp knife, and not because we’re rude or lacking empathy or diplomacy, but we realize that we are supposed to be ourselves and stand by the truth that is within us. By wasting time with people that are not on the same frequency we exhaust ourselves and we are neither helping them and much less ourselves. We are depriving them of the lesson of proper boundaries and we are exhausting unnecessary energy.

The same goes for partnerships, friends, family and acquaintances or strangers. Why would you entertain someone if you don’t want to? Why to continue talking or meeting someone that drains you? Isn’t it that you are just tricking yourself that you are being a good friend, person, lover, neighbor .. Or whatever “good” you project on yourself to be?

Lack of proper action sometimes is the same thing as harming self and others. Lack of determination in implementing what’s best for us is not at all “being kind and/or compassionate with the other”, but the other way around, because not establishing proper boundaries also deprives the other side of having the proper experience to also wake up and work with themselves.

But let’s forget about the others. Let’s say that we want someone, we need a partner, a lover. At first we have all these ideas of I want him/her to be like this and like that and I definitely don’t want him/her to have this or that features. But as time goes by our neediness grows, so directly proportionally our standards lower and we are ready to accept things that in the beginning we were 100% sure we didn’t want to have.

Eventually the hormones might push us into lower and lower vibration and we might be ready to accept many red flags just for the sake of satisfying the lower mind and body needs. It’s an experience that might transform into a trap. It may be good if it happened, you had it and let it go. The problem appears when we enter relationships with the wrong or let’s say inappropriate reason. Why? Because sexual intimacy or (just) external superficial attraction shouldn’t be the reason for us getting into a relationship, it means that the whole foundation is rotten. It means that our home’s foundation is made of clay and with time the sturdiness of the foundation will be tested and indubitably that construct will collapse under the heavy weight of vibrational, spiritual and mental mismatch.

The more we stay in this types of relationships the more we will suffer, because through numbing our intuition and denial of the obvious, attachments are created, unhealthy projections and hopes are coming to existence and it will make the break-up more painful. On the other hand whatever is true and supposed to be there will unfold in a natural, beautiful way although relationships where there’s only peace love and harmony might be an utopic idea in this era.

When we are honest with ourselves, we are honest with the world and although we will lose a huge amount of (unnecessary) people, rest assured that we are heading towards knowing how our life is supposed to be, not what we were projecting onto it.

On the other hand we shouldn’t project too many qualities or what the future partner should have or not, rather learn to flow with life, to listen to your Being, your heart and intuition, learn to see everything from the inner contentment feeling in which you are complete and devoid of “needs” or “wants”, and whatever is supposed to be yours will appear on its own. Appearance of its own doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t do anything towards that goal (of having someone) if that’s how we feel. Choose wisely by cutting through the past distortions and tendencies that threw you over and over again into similar distorted relationships and you will step out of the lower flow. Observe life through that inner contentment and you will be able to accept being alone or with someone as being equally acceptable.

There’s a saying that the one that’s the most patient will reap the ripest fruit. If you are experiencing a period of being alone, enjoy it. Take it as an opportunity to work your crap out, take it as a period of time for reflection and contemplation. Whatever is there it’s the best thing that can happen to you. Especially when you are honest with yourself. The more honest you are, the more free you will become. The more you love yourself, the more you will love everything and everyone in a very unconditional way. But don’t confuse the unconditional love towards the world and the existence, with the new-agey nonsense that you have to be good, do good and everything is pink clouds and unicorns. That’s again dishonesty to self. Find out who you are and own it! Embrace it with good and bad features, with qualities and shortcomings, because that is how you came to experience life.

There’s no malicious act if you’re acting, talking and being from that inner peace, the inner contentment that’s the essence of our Being. Therefore if you are more and more aligned with that Being that lies hidden inside of whatever living being at any point of time, then you can never go wrong,.. Whatever you might be saying or doing will be in perfect alignment with the Life itself regardless of how external people might perceive it. Life will then flow through your Being and through you people will get their own lessons without any effort or without you even noticing or wanting it.

Be true to yourself and automatically you will be true to the external existence, hence there’s no need to further analyze your actions and speech.. Trust and love yourself and your life will become a synchronistic course of events.. Flow with life and know that you are being taken care of.

Flow

People are expecting some sort of external saviors to come for the rescue; aliens, angels, energies from the space, unicorns and what not.. It’s because we are just addicts and lazy… We want to be saved instead of working our crap out and realizing that whatever 5-10D we are dreaming about it’s right here and now, but we are still ignorant and low and we believe that by dreaming about pink clouds and other new-agey stuff we’re going to be evolving… Wake up… Start cleaning up your own house, don’t expect others to come do that for you, because you did that life after life after life,… Now it’s time to take responsibility for your life and to acknowledge and accept that you are having both polarities represented inside of you since you are in duality,.. So denying one of the polarities(generally we ignore the negative) will only swipe the dirt under the rug where it will grow and eventually blow up into your face.

What’s the difference between now and 2000 when ppl were expecting changes, evolution, cataclysmic events and so on… Then Nibiru, then 3 days of darkness, then 2012 then what not…

Maybe we should just leave this game of hope and fear and own our shit (the so called reality we live in) and live with it and remember that we are One with everything.

Unfortunately we are diving deeper into Kali Yuga, a. k. a. the age of darkness so the dark is getting darker and the shit is about to hit the fan (excuse my French)… So just work with yourself, remove unnecessary things, stop being an addict, work your child traumas and see that you are here to do that with yourself and unless you did that, you can’t assume how it is to be evolved because it’s the same like a dog would assume how it is to be a human and it can’t, because it’ll filter all its projections through the limited dog consciousness. Just arm yourself with courage and willpower, humbleness and discover your inner purity and life itself will start flowing in a proper way, and you will be touched by the Grace.

Unfortunately the majority are just dreaming and assuming that they’re ascending.. Nowhere to ascend, we are already That, the Eternal, the Omnipresent, the Omnipotent.. Nowhere to go,… Nothing to change..
That’s why own life as it is, and it’s not made of pink clouds at all.

Life is actually if properly analyzed a never ending montagne-russe with good things followed by bad ones.. From a normal human perspective looks mostly negative. I would say it’s neutral, only our interpretation gives it a meaning and a polarity, otherwise it is pure experience and nothing more.
Once we change the perception everything changes. We are living in a mind construct and everything is upside down, hence whatever medicine is bitter and the sweet does you harm. Embrace challenges, traumas and dramas,.. Dig deep into them and see what have you contributed to that to happen. Don’t blame anyone (not even yourself), forgive and let go… Flow. As long as you dream about some energies that will shift you and take you into a different dimension, you are just running away from yourself and the life that you chose to have (previous to be born).

If you remember that no matter what you do or experience, everything is correct, instead of too much indulging into good things and lamenting when bad things happen, you just own them and see the amazing life teaching inside them all and fix a smile on your face no matter what and know that the true evolution is through hardships, learning from them. The good things if we dive too much into them have the potential to make us addicted to that kick of endorphins and other hormones, but they should be instead just a moment of rest on the steep road towards discovering Ourselves, and embrace challenges which are the climbing on that steep path.

May all of you who are ripe be touched by the Grace!!! (Although we are all – regardless if evolved or not – just bathing in It).

Courage is required, because we are going to face ourselves and our biggest enemy which is the wrong-ego… All our demons and enemies are just ourselves, so accept everything and transform!

May the Ultimate Existence that we all are bless you!

By the way I highly recommend people who resonated with what I wrote to watch the movie Revolver of Guy Ritchie, and probably you will need to watch it minimum 2-3 times to get the full juice out of it. (I watched it 6-7 times and I still discover new ideas)

In the end, there can be only One

The experience of the duality of the world has one purpose only: to realize the futility of chasing desires and material pursuits and people. The duality when observed with awareness is containing in it the realization of the Absolute as being the one to be sought rather than illusory pursuits as mice in their wheels. The biggest teaching of this world is the “bad” and “uncomfortable” since these are making us search for a solution, for answers to the question “Why?”. The Absolute, the Eternal is hidden behind the scenes, in the very fabric of all and everything, therefore deciding that “this is good” and “that is bad” is misconception and keeping us far from the realization of the truth.

If the world would have been constructed on “goodness” only, everyone would have been only enjoying their sweet forgetfulness of everything since it’s in our nature that we try to preserve the “good” experience for as much as possible. The mechanics of the illusion are such that a good experience even if it lasts years seems like passing so fast whereas the “bad” experience seems like lasting forever and it is all because of our desire to prolong the “good” and shorten the “bad”.

As soon as the differentiation disappears everything becomes neutral and transitory. In the moment of contraction, of feeling bad which immediately creates the desire to stop it or to run away, the mechanics of the illusion are stretching the time. It may look cruel for someone or something to create a trap like this. But it’s because we are the Ultimate, and we created such an elaborate trap that is capable to keep ensnared the oblivious Divine Beings. Anything less than that would have been like a test that comes with the answers written under the questions.

It takes huge power of discrimination and dedication to exit the trap that we prepared for ourselves. It’s but a game of hide and seek that has been won already. All the particles of the Divine scattered in all the Realms are going to find one day their way Home. There’s no other way. The only thing that differs is when. But even the notion of time is bounding us when in reality for the Absolute there’s no time or space limitation whatsoever.

Some of us have a call to realize themselves earlier, some want to dive into the illusion more and more and lose themselves. Is there anything correct or incorrect? I believe that there’s no such separation, after all is the individual soul choice plus a certain predestination according to previous existence. In the end, for all of us there’s nothing but coming home, diving back into the primordial Being, into the Nothingness out of which everything sprouted.

For some it may sound scary , they’re afraid that we as individuals will be gone, since the tiny droplet of water unites back with the ocean of provenance. But that is just the trick of ego, the little self which is unaware of the fact that being a tiny particle devoid of its divinity the whole experience is limited and corrupted, but when we get back to being One with the Absolute, with the Consciousness, then we are one and Many and there’s no differentiation, we are collective, we are there the Ego(knowledge that we are all and nothing – and we are limitless), the very everything that we are oblivious of right now. So holding onto the illusion is one of the smartest tricks of Maya, because it’s like we are struggling to keep ourselves in a tiny box forever, fearful of the unknown instead of experiencing Everything realizing that there’s no time-space boundary nor any other type of other boundaries for the Source.

Just think about it; what an elaborate and complex game of souls we are experiencing; the range of feelings and perceptions, the uniqueness of the experience for each individual. The multitude of interpretations and explanations of the world and its experience by each of us. I am sure that if we would be able to realize that we are watching a very elaborate movie in which we have the opportunity to be actors, spectators, producers, directors and what not… We would definitely remain in awe of the audacity of the Creator to throw such amazing ideas and twists for little pieces of Itself to experience, in order to make them aware of their origin when all the other solutions were proven incorrect, and push them to wake up to their true Selves.

Mind – The master of puppets

The root of the suffering in the world is the mind and its creation. Although we believe that we perceive the world in an objective way through our five senses, the reality is different. Our senses are very limited, having a very limited range of perception like an old radio that has a short bandwidth and is unable to catch the majority of the radio stations. All the parameters that come through the senses are gathered and interpreted by the mind in a twisted way. Why twisted? Because the mind is creating an image mostly based on past experiences and beliefs and also on the limited sense perception. So we already have a distorted image created in front of our eyes, and that is without mentioning the last ingredient that distorts even more the image about the existence and how we perceive it. This last unfortunate ingredient that is making us drown more into illusion (self-created) is the emotions.

The world around us is neutral in its pure nature, there’s nothing good nor bad, nothing ugly nor beautiful; it all just IS. The world is like an empty canvas, untouched yet, or we can say that it’s a very plain image without too much of anything in it. How does the image get created? The “drawing” appears through interpretation (of the mind – of course). Fake colors and images are added onto the canvas by misinterpreting and judging the neutral image through our previously mentioned altering elements. The reason for our suffering is our constant analysis and interpretation of life through emotional distortions and past programs (computer-like), cunningly implemented by Maya (the illusion) to capture us in its snare.

Let’s say we see the cloudy sky. Automatically the mind starts creating thoughts: “it might rain”, “I don’t have the umbrella”, “I might get wet”, “I hate it when I am wet, I’ll be cold”. It’s almost like you can feel the cold of your wet body! But hey, it’s all a fantasy, it didn’t happen, or at least not yet, and you have already created a drama out of just some normal event which already alters the way you feel because the adrenals already secreted cortisol because the mind already created a “threat”. So, our mind is very good at projecting and complicating things, therefore our life is a mere projection of our insecurities, emotions and past experiences which get replicated over and over again because we can’t let go of everything and just observe, without interpretation, without whining, without complaining – just pure acceptance.

All the good and bad in our life is created by the mind. It all starts with a thought. All the thoughts are detrimental to our true evolution. True, perfect(-ed) beings are thoughtless, just flowing with their being. There are less perfect people, still more advanced than the average, that are aware of the flow of thoughts, of the mechanics of their creation, they can’t (yet) be thoughtless yet they are not allowing them to proliferate, to alter their beings anymore. They know that thoughts are not theirs, they don’t identify themselves with the lower mind projections, so they continuously discard the thoughts as they come, no matter what type of thoughts.

The so-called normal person is unaware of this aspect of their mind, hence they go with whatever thoughts they have, assuming that they are the creators of the thoughts so they are going to act upon “their” thoughts. The thoughts are waves created by the powerful mind which in its essence is boundless, omniscient and omnipotent, yet that capacity is not known yet, therefore remains unused. Thoughts can be easily picked-up or forced upon us by people or other entities. Being of a wave-form construct, the thoughts can be hacked and influenced. The influence can come willingly and unwillingly. The willing type of influence is happening when someone exerts willpower to manipulate the flow and direction of your thoughts based on their agenda. These people are either magicians, sorcerers or any other person who uses occult ways to manipulate reality and the second type are the corporations nowadays and governments who are manipulating public opinion through the mass-media and any other means.

The unwilling type of manipulation of thoughts is happening when we are affected by egregores. Egregores are invisible big clusters of thoughts and tendencies that are specific to a group of people, country, ethnicity and so on. In bars and pubs there are egregores which will make it easier for us to drink, gossip, take drugs, or crave for sexual activity. In a mall and around we will feel like buying and spending time there or we feeling like doing whatever that egregor influences us into doing.

So we are in continuous war. A war of our higher Being, which is thoughtless, pure, made of light, and devoid of interpretation and the whole illusion. That’s why the true spiritual paths are always recommending us to become thoughtless.

From my experience all the addictions and desires have their origin in a thought. If we pay attention to that thought, the mind will create another and another that will make you say or do something towards the agenda behind that thought. Mainly the agenda is to keep us busy and in a low frequency. If we have thoughts but we discard them, not acting upon them, they will eventually vanish.

Remove distraction if you chose to perfect yourself. Slowly eliminate everything that imposes a flow of emotions and thoughts that are pulling you in the illusion. Music, TV, playing games, Netflix; the desire to constantly entertain ourselves is detrimental and should be gradually removed.

Constantly be aware of the flow of the thoughts (I avoided on purpose to say “your thoughts” because true existence is thoughtless). If we are aware and on the observation mode we can find a way to figure out their mechanics. Thoughts are keeping us in stress, it appears that there’s always something to do, something to say, to plan and to solve. In reality life takes care of everything. Do 100% of what your duties are, but forget about them as soon as you finished. Live your life by serving others – knowing that we are all a representation of the Divine Ultimate Being, so that’s the explanation why the ego is detrimental, because it separates things, when we are all One!

Chintamani Gem

We are not only living in God, in the Absolute, filling us with it from within and enveloping us and the world from without, but we are continuously exposed to the true liberating knowledge which lays hidden in plain sight, like the sun is always visible in the sky yet we fail to understand its true meaning, nature and existence.

Once we take the hard path to cleaning our being of the unnecessary, Grace makes its appearance and removes certain veils or obstacles just enough to make the journey a bit less than impossible. By cultivating our inner purity, selflessness, patience and humbleness the Knowledge reveals to ourselves and we remain in awe how simple and close to us all was the real information for the whole time. Things that in the past seemed to be gibberish or too abstract for us to even “waste our time” with, are shining bright into our minds and hearts and the true Existence is slowly revealing itself to us.

I am very grateful for all the great people that I have met and for all the amazing scriptures that I got my hands on, it was all made possible by the Grace of the Absolute. There is no mistake anymore. All the “mistakes” and “errors” are but part of the “Plan”, part of the great Revelation of the Almighty. It is so awesome that I have tears in my eyes while writing this and I hope that many of you will reach this point of recognizing the Grace of God in our lives. Many people felt it, wrote poems, prose, and sang their joy, the joy of remembering, the joy of knowing. Through the ocean of writings that exist in this world, there are many gems written by the very Spirit that permeates us all. They are but impossible to find for the unripe soul, even if the scriptures would be in his/her library, they would fail to release their Light (True knowledge) until the time is right and that person proved its worthiness. It is like a story I read about a seeker that found the most valuable and priceless gem in the world and because he didn’t believe himself to be finding that easy such a priceless object although he was looking for it, he threw away his finding and he continued searching for something that he already had in his hands. Eventually he found some bracelet made of shells and colored glass and he was happy to have found that, assuming that that must have been the Gem of gems that he was looking for, yet it was just a trinket.
I will explain this parable, because it is similar to the spiritual seekers, who by Grace may have touched the true Knowledge and / or got to meet the true preceptor but because their mind wants complication, methods and concepts, and because they fail to understand that the true preceptor will not come or look as in their projections and expectations, so they have thrown away their own priceless Diamond and exchange it for many colored pieces of glass and shell shards – fake gurus that have shining attire and mesmerizing talks and shows.

The true seeker, once he finds that gem, puts it inside their heart and mind and hold to that, knowing that it’s by merit and Grace that they were allowed to find that Gem and they will hold it for the rest of their existence very dear to them, knowing that that luminous Gem is their chance to transform into a Gem themselves.

This true Gem, the Chintamani Gem, is getting into one’s life to empower that being (the seeker) into becoming a true effulgence of the Divine Light themselves. The fake ones want the entire shine for their own, disempowering the prey just like spiders catch their prey in their snares and keep them alive to suck their vital energy. Their words may say otherwise yet their actions speak for themselves.

The biggest misconception

The biggest misconception that our mind serves us is that we are limited to the boundaries of our own bodies. That’s the invisible cell wall of our self-created prison.

I read in Yoga Vasistha, that the ignorant sees the golden bracelet in the form of just a bracelet and forgets the gold that is the essence of the bracelet. As such we are ignorant of the Supreme Self, that is the very essence of each and every manifested being or object. So let’s try to see deeper, because whatever is visible might be deluding and distracts us from recalling the Divine essence that imbues everything.
If we are That, the Absolute and Universes and everything inside and outside of them, how can we confine it to the limited bodies of ours, how can we limit ourselves to such a degree when we are Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient as our essence is. We are just different jewelry and accessories made out of the same priceless material – God/The Ultimate /That..

Now maybe you can have that “Eureka” moment like I had myself, realizing that although we are bound by will and desires of the mind to this existence in the human body, in reality we remain that same boundless Being of pure Light that has no limit neither is confined by anything. Whatever we were always searching for (as true spiritual pursuits) was already inside of us all the time and our only effort should be in eliminating the misconceptions through which we are held prisoners and these misconceptions are created by the master of them all – our lower mind.

To transcend the mind at first we must exert a huge amount of willpower, this exertion will not take us to any palpable result, but to the realization that the machinations of the mind – thoughts and desires – are not real, are just limitations and the cunning snare of the Illusion which is the mind itself building the illusion that we are surrounded by. So the exertion of power, and courage serves just as a proof of our determination which allows Grace to come and remove the veil, otherwise it’s as futile as action as applying sunscreen on a rainy day. I know what you think, but then can’t we just wait for the Grace to come and bring with it the peace and silence inside of the mind and remove its limitations and reveal the Mind which is an extension of the Mind of the Creator, of the Absolute? I wish it could be that easy, because through the “false” path of exertion and action we show our valor, our courage, our determination, sturdiness, patience, humbleness, purity and selflessness which are mandatory for the true Self-realization of who we truly are, like I said in previous articles, the Power is Intelligent in itself, being but an extension of the Absolute, so it can’t be tricked, bribed or be brought forcefully or prematurely.

So go on and show what you are made of, discover and dust off from the shelves of oblivion the qualities of which we are all made of – the qualities of the Supreme: purity, selflessness, contentment, non-judgment, non-differentiation, acceptance, humbleness, courage, unattached and unbound by any belief, concept or desire and discover those beautiful wings that you were carrying with you the whole time, spread them wide and remember how to fly, cause after all it must be like riding the bike, once you do it, you will always remember it.
Start cultivating these qualities, or better said remove those fake qualities of the ego and illusion to rediscover the simplicity and purity of the true Self. Force your attention onto every single second of your life, bring awareness in your life and let it be your forever partner in the world, because awareness is what differentiates us from the ignorant animal-like beings that are just like leafs in the wind of the ever-changing and consuming illusory world.

If we realize that there’s no I and me, or other, that we are all One and that One is All, how can we need any moral rule or laws to restrict our actions, when we know that the action against another being is directly against ourselves?

We are living in God

I have the feeling that already the title has intrigued you. This is my realization, so it is just my own personal perspective about this matter.

Let’s think that we’re a cell in some living being. Can we be aware that we are part of a being? My assumption is that we can’t, we’re just doing our (cell) job growing, dividing (self), and some specific tasks that all the cells have and that’s it. Likewise we, humans are in our greater majority unaware of what’s the system that we are part of, we are unaware of the planet which is our body that we are part of, as the cell being a part of a living being. As such through extrapolation maybe you can realize that all the multitude of universes, realms and dimensions are cells in the primordial Being which we can call God, the Absolute and so on.

Everything is like a game play; it’s like the imagination of a novel writer that decided to allow its intellect run freely, creating world after world, story after story each of them being illusion and reality in the same time. If the writer has no limits and is omnipotent, then It can make that illusion (that in which the limited/normal writer can’t expand further than putting it in a novel or into a movie) actually take place, exist like a multidimensional movie where the Ultimate took out of Self billions of little pieces that were deprived of their omniscience, omnipotence and all the other Supreme qualities and were scattered inside the movie that It created for no other purpose but to see if those little bits of itself will know how to come back to their origin, to recognize and remember who they truly are – All and Nothing – finding again their power which was always inside of themselves, being occulted from themselves, by the power of the dual game of Maha-Maya (the Great Illusion). And everything from the “Upper-Perspective” is always correct, always right. But if we take things out of the context, like seeing things only from this life’s perspective, then we are definitely subjective, hence incorrect in our assumptions.

Accept everything and you will enter into the Divine stream of Life. Oppose and you are creating more illusion and suffering for yourself. Take this life as a game, as a sports competition in which you are supposed to be fair-playing, humble yet powerful, knowledgeable yet not a show-off, seeing everything yet not judging, minding only your part in this game, without scattering yourself into caring what other people think, what others do or say. Become independent and fix that smile on your face in “good” or “bad” and the good and bad will just merge, and you will realize that the result is “That” , which you have always been, devoid of characteristics or tags, the Eternal stillness of the Intellect which is the Creator and Knower of everything.

Does a cell inside of our bodies feel alone ever? Aren’t there millions and billions other that make us whole? Therefore although we are alone in this game, from the point of view of the fact that we have to take full responsibility for everything that happens to us, yet we are always part of a system (like cells of a muscle being part of the muscular system that has countless numbers of similar cells). Pull your head from your bottom and see, open your eyes of the Intellect (the higher intelligence) and start seeing (knowing). Don’t think small. Look at the ants how ignorant they are of the curious people watching them; how easy it is for the observer to destroy them, or give them a huge amount of food or some other type of help, yet they’re still going to be ignorant of “who”, “what”, in which way and the whole reason behind it all. We are the same from the point of view of those watching us, yet that shouldn’t scare us neither should it bring despair, because the game is fair even for the ants, after they fulfilled their duties in the ant life they’re going to advance to their next level and eventually reaching that point of the person watching the ant-house. As such if we do our best, with humbleness, honesty (especially to self), with surrender, acceptance and letting go of everything, we are going to be free one day of this game of evolution, when we will realize that we have always been “there”, but we failed to see it by foolishly accepting the self-imposed limits and barriers through beliefs that were there only to be uprooted as the obstacles on the hurdling track being there to jump over.

Can a cell evolve out of its destined existence of being a cell and performing its tasks, and become more than a cell? Highly unlikely, but the human being can evolve for sure out of its limitations and realize its true nature.

Break the chain

We are very unhappy with people that hurt us throughout our lives and we find it very hard to forgive and forget what they did to us. I will try to offer you a different perspective that might change the way you look at these people.

A boy is systematically beaten by the father, yet the boy loves the father. The boy is scared and feels like there’s no love coming from the father. He tends to look for any little sign of kindness and embraces that with joy as a sign of father’s love that he’s craving for although love seems to be missing.

The boy is very likely to grow up hating the father and trying to get his revenge somewhat. He may grow up to be an aggressive man himself. He can incarnate in a future life and punish somehow the father for all the beating and torture. This is a vicious circle of karmic entanglement that not many people nowadays are able to break. In theory it must be easy, we just forgive and forget, we let go of whatever happened. In reality It’s very hard, I know it myself.

But let me give you a wider image of the previous story. The boy and the father in previous life were lovers. The father was the female and the boy the lover. Their love was intense and they were unable to live without each other, they promised to each other that their love will last forever. He goes to the war and gets captured by the enemy. The woman receives news that he disappeared along with his unit and they are all considered dead. After suffering and crying she felt like suiciding but she couldn’t do it because of their little child that they had. So because being a lonely woman with a child was hard, she accepted to marry her old, unappealing to her – boss.

Three years later after war was over, the man comes home to find his wife having another two kids with some other man. He was devastated and she felt very guilty and victimized. He started drinking and he died as a consequence of his alcohol addiction. She was very angry with him because he never forgave her, and didn’t even want to understand her situation. She died several years later.

Because of the suffering when she was a woman, because she was sexualy abused during the period of the husband being a prisoner, she decides that she wants to be a man so she incarnates as a male. The boy sees with his unaltered consciousness (before incarnating again) that he exaggerated with his reaction and he decides to be born as the child of his former wife – now his father in order to try to pay his karma. Without knowing why (unconsciously) the father is continuously irritated by the child which is loving the father unconditionally. The father (as in the previous life) hates the child because that hatred came from the past life through entitlement, guilt and shame and other low vibrational emotions towards the unforgiving lover.

Now the father is just fulfilling his role in this huge game of life. The game of life is always fair, only we lack the whole picture to realize that. The boy, now grown-up, decides to forgive the father from the bottom of his heart so he breaks the entanglement. But many people continue this game of ”I hit you and then you hit me” forever, that’s why they’re caught up in this trap that they have set for themselves.

The same thing happens in the army, there were three stages of recruits: newcomers, middle boys and veterans. Always the veterans and the middle boys will make the newcomers lives miserable until they become themselves middle boys or veterans. Here, breaking the spell is harder since the entire group of veterans and middle boys are supposed to stop the mistreatment. But in our individual cases it should be easier. Forgive and forget everyone. Realize that they are paying you back for past deeds. Don’t punish, don’t take revenge. Break the chain, stop the curse that is throwing you back again and again into the game of punishing and being punished. Accept all the punishment that comes in your life with ease, know for sure that you are supposed to experience that and accept, surrender and let go. This is the shortcut to the self-realization.

Our aggressors in this life were our victims in past lives. If you truly forgive them and send love and blessings to them instead of hatred and desire to revenge, you break the karmic chain. Once you break it, you start paying off all your debts. People may rob you, talk bad about you, they can cheat. Be happy! You are paying your debts.

Thank them all inside of self. If you feel that is necessary you can do it in person also, but only if your intuition is advising you to do so, otherwise is might be not only unnecessary, but inadvisable.

Life is made up of events that are always correct and aligned with the bigger picture (that we’re unable to see) in which we all play our roles in paying off our karmic debts and involuntarily we are tools in the hands of Life in making others pay off their debts. Vengeance is one of the biggest traps, everyone can be vengeful, everyone can be righteous. Forget about them all, especially righteousness which is the cunning hidden trap in everyone’s lives. Once someone said: “Would you rather be right or content?!” I know everybody feels like answering “content” yet when we find ourselves in the position of being right, oh it’s so hard to chose contentment. But slowly-slowly we can do it. It’s enough to want it, it’s enough to decide to break the chain of self-imposed slavery (by reincarnating over and over to punish our aggressors), and half of the work is done. The rest is acceptance of whatever comes your way, surrender onto whatever your Higher Self prepared for yourself and let go of any expectation, any projections, any memory of people hurting you, abusing you… Let them go with love. Those who hurt you have a great potential of creating a purer “you”, a more experienced, more loving, forgiving and more humble person. Thank them and love them instead of holding a grudge. This is the secret of truly breaking the karmic entanglement.

In this world whatever is supposed to be ours will be and nothing is ever lost, if it is lost and doesn’t come back, it means that it was never yours. Someone stole something from you, be happy! It’s the easiest way to pay some past deed. Bless everyone in the process. Those who wish you good are there to ease the pressure. Those who are here to punish you are those who push you to thrive and break through. Like I stated before, in this world of duality everything has a double potential, it’s up to us what we choose. According to our choice of action and way of seeing the things, the aggressors can ruin our lives or push us to thrive. What’s your choice?

The dual potential of the experience

Life in its essence is extremely simple and its guidelines easy to follow for an aware being. The problem is that nowadays we are mostly navigating adrift, without a clue in this ocean called life. Everything that happens to us has the potential to destroy us (to drag us deeper into the illusion) or to uplift us, meaning to give us the tools for our conscious awakening, towards realizing who we are and what’s the purpose for incarnating in this particular realm in this particular day and age, but more so: the pain that we are supposed to notice, accept and work with in order for it to become obsolete.

Everything that happens to us is definitely something that we have to experience, especially since it happened already. The first thing we can do to properly address the matter is to accept it no matter how hard it is to do so.

Acceptance itself it’s such a powerful tool that reduces a lot the negative impact of some unfortunate happenings.

When we accept something that happens, we exit already the low vibrational vortex of victimization, whining, guilt, shame and other unnecessary emotions and feelings. If we truly accept something there’s no reason anymore to roam in what happened, we automatically step into the present moment and instead of asking ourselves how would it have been if we would have act or said something differently, – which is useless because that moment is gone, and there’s absolutely no reason to waste your time and energy accusing self or other/-s, trying to project potential other approaches – we should rather accept what happened. So once you have accepted, the “problem” is already half solved.

Working with own faults, distortions and programs is way easier when those flaws are brought to the surface by a certain life event or triggered by a person in your life. I remember that someone asked me: “Well but how do I work my crap out?”

The first step is noticing the existence of the “crap”, secondly you accept the fact that it is there inside yourself and that it is affecting your life, your decisions and the outcome of your actions. The worst mistake that we’ve all been through throughout our lives is to blame external actors (aggressors) and situations. Take full responsibility, there’s no other way. The third part is working with it. Accepting the responsibility for that character flaw (like victimization, narcissism, controlling nature, aggression, lying…) and be ready to watch with awareness that particular flaw (for the moment) and decide to consciously stop its influence in your life. One way of working with it would be to notice when was the first time that we remember a similar pain to the one that we’re experiencing in the present circumstance even if the events might look different and unrelated. Then we should start asking, like kids, “Why do I have this pain? Because I feel hurt. Why do I feel hurt? Because I did that. Why have I done that?”… and so on until you manage to get to the root of the problem. Probably it’s useless to repeat that this will not work unless a full openness and truthfulness to self is employed. Most likely the root cause of the problem is some misinterpretation of a childhood occurrence, an over-exaggerated perspective over that early experience. Or it can be even some very serious abuse, violation, violence or even small – totally silly for our mind now- events where we felt ashamed, guilty, abused, raped, betrayed, alone, deserted, sinful and so on… One way of transcending it is to consciously go in to that same situation and look at the actual event happening in front of you, you being the victim (as a child – in that moment) and you being an adult, now, a spectator to the whole drama. Feel that pain fully in your body, accept it if still there, because it will not go unless you are experiencing it fully, getting it exhausted. See it in a very detached way, forgive yourself and whoever was the trigger or aggressor, know that we are supposed to take full responsibility for everything that happens in our lives, and know that nobody is truly a victim. Know that you are lighter now, having a better chance to evolve out of your misery because of that event taking place. Hug that broken, hurt child that is suffering in the replayed memory, cry together if necessary, but then explain the child that everything that we are experiencing is necessary for our further growth and beyond everything that we’ve learned, everything is definitely correct and always in alignment with the Divine construct laws to which our lives abide as everything else in the Existence.

So keep always in mind the dual potential of whatever happens in your life and remember that it’s only us and our reactions to it that truly determines the outcome of that (otherwise neutral life circumstance). We are the only ones self-sabotaging our own lives by choosing always the same path, the old path that we know, the automatic response of the autopilot, the victimized perspective. Letting go with ease is crucial, it’s the choice that defines who we are at the moment. Surrender and let go of everything, embrace challenges, be always ready for change, embrace things that you used to run from, like facing problems, pains, hard work and struggle or new experiences that you would have passed in the past otherwise. In order for you to pick different fruits from your garden you have to definitely plant different trees. Old trees will invariably give the fruits that you already know. Without a new approach, everything will continue as previously, so there’s no one to blame for your life circumstances but yourself, your choices and past deeds. But “blaming” (as a choice of wording) can be misleading, so you shouldn’t even blame yourself. Don’t blame anyone, but instead take responsibility for everything and remember that the secret is in your actions or the lack of them, in what you say or what you don’t say. Study your own being and the knowledge that is scattered in millions of books and individuals, will be unfolding from within yourself with ease. It was always there hidden under tons of unnecessary junk that you started sorting out. You were always That which is the essence of everything surrounding us. Good luck with sorting that huge pile out, I got some crap to work with myself 😁.

Just Be

According to my understanding, true spiritual practice is not about repeating mantras, doing something in a ritualistic way, neither prayers, neither listening to hypnosis or self-hypnosis videos or audios, no binaural beats, no alien neither unicorn nor angel will come to save you. It’s only about hard work with ourselves and our distortions, our past programs and “viruses” that created our personality (ego). It’s a work of undoing rather than doing, unlearning rather than learning. Spirituality is not about readings or predictions, no healing neither removal of karma or obstacles, it’s the embracing of all of these previously mentioned because they are the very propellers of your spiritual evolution, there’s no other way. While we are on the escape mode, the “doors” towards true Spirituality are closed. Only when we understand that whatever baggage we came with we’ll have to exhaust not get rid of it or run away from. Embrace all your challenges, dive deep into the pain and you may get a chance to find out who you truly are, otherwise it’s another wasted life.

Yes, it may be possible to forcefully heal and remove obstacles but we don’t know what is the real pricetag behind it all, plus eventually you will still have to face the same amount of pain and stress otherwise, so eventually we are just delaying the inevitable or even worse postponing it for a later life. Since these troubles are here now, have them now, because you are aware, because you already reached the moment of understanding the whole mechanism. Later on in another life, the situation may be different, with extra karma to face from previous life (this one), with less awareness and maybe tougher external factors.

Instead of laziness and procrastination, instead of being a couch potato with a remote in the hand or some game controller, now it is about noticing our deeply engraved patterns into our very being, working with them, adjusting whatever we see unnecessary and enhancing those necessary. There’s no time to waste now that you realized that you have (again) a chance to evolve, although paradoxically we have all the time, because we are the time ourselves, only we’re unaware of that. On the other hand time is part of the illusion, because in Reality there’s no such a notion. But so far we are subjected to time and we are to respect our time and use it wisely.

Practice awareness at all time, ask yourself what would the old (unaware) self do or say in the actual situation and then ask yourself what can you do or say to improve the old-self contribution and step to a whole new level, creating( better said discovering) a new Self which is acting and talking from the Being rather than being on autopilot(ego + distortions). Notice patterns of victimization (when you feel that life is unfair, people are hurting you…), notice the desire to push people away from you, notice patterns of self-sabotage and act differently. Let people be who they are, the only thing you can do is to watch your own actions and reactions to people or various other stimuli.

Stop believing that everything is about you, stop seeing life in such an obtuse way. Learn to accept that although you are important especially for yourself, life is not spinning around you, you’re definitely not the bellybutton of the Universe. So stop taking things personally even when all the hints and reasoning are pointing toward that idea. If you start realizing that life is a series of things that are supposed to be experienced regardless of your interpretation of them, you might realize that life is neutral and always fair. If you are convinced that life is always fair with us, you will never suffer, you won’t feel like a victim anymore, you will feel like being a part of an amazing movie and you are fully in it with awareness, accepting all the twists and dramatic turns it may have, and receiving everything with an eternal smile in the corner of your mouth.

If we manage to see life as a very correct series of events, due to karma (good and bad) then we are becoming content because no matter what we’re experiencing, we are exhausting our karma be it good or bad and we are slowly removing veil after veil and layer after layer until we are going to find ourselves free, as we always have been devoid of roles, names or attributes, just Ourselves.

If whilst in the middle of drama you remember that you are exhausting past karma, are you still going to feel as bad as you used to feel? If you are sure that everything that happens is correct, can you blame people and stories, when you become aware that they’re just a Divine arrangement for you to exhaust your past mistakes? And know that we are never going to be experiencing more pain than we can handle or more pain than we offered from our end, so hang in there and try not to create some more entanglement (karma) in the process. Forget and forgive self and others. Finally you have a greater chance of success this life just for getting to read this, which for sure is nothing new, you feel it clicking inside and you might have had that “aha” moment. Enjoy the good moments because you earned them and try to enjoy or at least accept those “bad” ones.. Everything is for the best.

We are beings of light, voluntarily immersed in dirt and because of the immersion we identify ourselves with the dirt, yet we are light, tiny particles of light separated from the Primordial Light itself, ignorant of being That so we identify with the physical which is just a temporary experience. Is a piece of golden jewelry less gold just because it felt in the toilet? No! It can be washed and put back to its former beauty. Same with us, we are not our bodies neither our actions. Forgive yourself for whatever you have done previously and know that you did it because of ignorance, step out of your dirt(victimization, guilt, shame and other low vibrational programs), wash yourself from the dirt you have been living in (remove distortions and things less true that you have installed there as ultimate truths), and be born anew, know that there’s no limit to what you can become in this reality. Yes, cleaning yourself up is hard, painful and it requires huge amounts of courage, determination and Grace, but worry not, Grace is definitely with you since you are exposed to this information. And know that out of this experience you are already perfect, already part of That which is Everything and Nothing. Love yourself and everyone else since we are all just particles of the same fabric of the very Universe itself!

Is life an illusion?

We are mice in hamster wheels, and each time we breakthrough some limitations and we think we are free, we just go in a wider, bigger, more elaborated wheel in which we are running again in circles, in eternal loops of Maya. And even if we transcend and evolve out of the bigger wheel, I suspect that the number of wheels (illusions in The illusion, dream in the dream) could be infinite. That’s why I believe that without Grace, without someone who already walked the path towards freedom and reached a more advanced level than the one we’re in, it’s close to impossible. The Illusion is very hard to transcend since is the very inventivity of the Absolute which is playing through us a big Cosmic game of hide-and-seek. So I believe that if we try hard enough, if we are dedicated to transcending all the levels of the illusion with sturdiness and patience, Grace is definitely there with us, breaking doors that are over our power at the moment and throwing onto our path people and information that are crucial for our growth out of the self created prison.

The uselessness of lamenting or whining is obvious since there’s no benefit in doing it; whatever is done is done, accept, surrender and let go. As I am continuously emphasizing it, this is the path of the courageous, the humble and the the patient. There is no other way. People dream about doing it fast, taking some weekend course which will propel them to the “5th dimension” or who knows what, yet true Spirituality is gained through hard work, pain, courage and close-to-craziness sturdiness on the path. We will definitely fall thousands and hundreds of thousands times but each time we dust our clothes and start it all over again, even if we are stumbling on the same rock times and times again. Forgive yourself and everyone else and push your limits. Push your self-imposed boundaries onto yourself. There’s nothing really impossible yet if we believe in the impossibility of something, then we create that impossibility and we enforce it (unknowingly) with the power of our consciousness.

We all come here with a certain amount of karma to exhaust, therefore accept all the hardships and all the failures, all the people that “help” you stumble with a smile on your face and know that you are one step closer to becoming purer each time you suffer, because you are paying the debts and hence clearing up your path for your further development.

Do whatever you do with 100%+ effort but without expecting a certain outcome, because no matter what the result is, you’re winning: if you are getting the desired result – is the desired outcome, and if not then you’re paying your past karma so either way you should be happy.

There is a fate for each and every one of us, even the gods are having a destiny, yet the Universe, the Illusion, gods and the Highest Power are moved by the effort that one exerts to grow out of fatality and they are bowing down to such power of determination and they might interfere to change the implacable. So there is a destiny, but with assiduous work we can change it (if initially it disfavors us). But if there was good destiny for some lazy person, that good potential is wasted and doesn’t come to fruition because of the laziness and inactivity. So to summarize don’t be a fatalist because you are going to be picking only the wrong results. Trust life fully and know that whatever you are going through it’s nothing but the best outcome for you and your spiritual evolution.

I am

Today I feel perfect. There’s no special reason, no activity or food that might have stimulated the release of endorphins,… Not even feeling happy. I just feel complete, at ease, totally fine with what I have and what I lack in my life, hence there’s no missing feeling, no craving neither desire. I feel contentment. Of course due to the fact that there’s no disturbance, no drama we can say, that it’s kind of understandable. So the next target is to feel such feeling even during or after a less pleasant experience, during some emotional up or down.

I write this to remind myself who I truly am, devoid of needs and desires, devoid of interpretation. Life is not good neither bad, it just IS. As such we are neither good neither bad, neither happy nor unhappy. We just are!

Whatever life circumstance we’re in, we are exactly where we are supposed to be, so no need to be sad neither happy about it. What we definitely know for sure is that life is continuously changing, a continuous up and down game that we are supposed to master and when during both the currents we manage to stay still, then a certain evolutionary portal opens up and we find ourselves in a totally new dimension, a totally different paradigm.

I am single yet I don’t miss having someone, it’s not that I wouldn’t enjoy having a partner yet I no longer crave for having one, I am deeply surrendering to life and whatever experiences that I am supposed to be experiencing.

There’s definitely a lesson to be learned out of whatever life circumstance, hence I will enjoy and try to grasp the reason of being alone at the moment. I believe that it’s about self-love, truly selfless and non-narcissistic self-love that is based on the inner contentment that is the very foundation of the existence.

For me it’s a big breakthrough since my whole life I have been always the “doing” type of a person, so letting go of everything and learning to just be, accepting whatever circumstances was very hard. I have noticed that others are naturally less active more prone to inner peace and stillness, so I don’t know what their lesson is. But for my own experience, this is just the next step, the thing that I have to work for. As I realized that whenever we assume that we have reached a certain point of evolution from which we can never go back, the test arrive, exactly like in the schooling system where our knowledge assimilation is tested through exams.

I know from the experience that in the midst of the turmoil it’s very hard to remember that point of inner contentment, that inner peace that no one can take us out of. Therefore I write myself this article to be read in times of distress.

You are perfect, you are complete, you are at ease. Everything that happens is correct. Take full responsibility for whatever is happening and be happy that you are experiencing it. Acceptance and surrender are the requirements for the inner transformation of your perception. Perception(limited) is the very cancer of the spirit, we are continuously interpreting life events, people and whatever else through very limited tools like the 5 senses and previous experiences. It is time to accept everything. It is time to breathe slowly and remain calm, it is time to notice whatever happens from an external perspective as you would watch a movie. It is time to relax and be, instead of acting or reacting. Don’t say things, since when you say things during being angry, sad or under any other emotional effect you might tend to exaggerate and see the situation more acute than it really is. Know for a fact that whatever you experience it is mandatory for you to experience, it is part of the purging of the unnecessary out of your life. Rest right there experiencing fully whatever feelings you have at the moment, without associating your existence with those feelings. SMILE.

Life is testing your qualities in order to see if you resolved the issues that were bringing these situations to existence. Your calm, your patience, your forgiveness, your capacity to let go and to surrender to the life flow are deeply tested. Of course things might look like you are right and you are even right to take punitive actions against those who did “wrong” to you. This is one of the biggest tests that majority fail: the test of righteousness. In reality there’s nothing that entitles us to do harm in any way possible to another being, no matter what they did to us.

You’re in deep trouble? Don’t drag others with you even if you believe that they might deserve it. Let Life take care of everything, do not interfere. This is one of the first thing to be learned, not to interfere, to mind only our life and our choices.

Establishing proper boundaries is not considered wrong, because if we allow people to cross them, then we deserve the place on the evolutionary path that we are occupying. Don’t waste unnecessary time with people that you are not resonating with, just because you are too diplomatic or too educated to refuse them. Know what you want and what’s beneficial for you to do, or to say and act accordingly. If you dream about spirituality don’t separate life in different segments: in the morning when I wake up and meditate I am spiritual then I go to work and take a break from being spiritual.
Spirituality is everything, there’s no separation, let meditation permeate all of your being, may you become meditation no matter what are you doing. Stay aware the whole time and realize old patterns trying to drag you back to the “old” self. Realize that you are exposed over and over to similar situations so that you finally can realize that the same response will invariably bring back the same results that we are not happy with. Change the paradigm your mind is in, start seeing from different perspectives. Innovate with your behavior, try to implement the “spiritual” into the “mundane” and you will realize that there was never this separation, there is no separation between anything. We are all One and the same, we are made of same constituent elements, same energy of life is animating us, the differences are separation. We are Union(Yoga).

Are we spiritual seekers?

There are 3 types of paths chosen by souls looking for spirituality nowadays:

The first group, the power hungry (into the occult), are young souls (inexperienced – therefore they try everything) that want power and control over life and people and are mesmerized by the promise to rule over the matter. People hunger for power are weak and victimized beings that hope to be finally in control, after being controlled in the past.

The second group, the “flower power”, are full of hope for a better world where pink clouds and unicorns are dancing with angels, aliens and other “benevolent” entities, in other words hoping of a utopia where there’s nothing but “good” and love and so on and the negative side is minimized and sweeped under the rug. What they’re really ignorant is that in a world of polarities they can never have white without the black, happiness without unhappiness, love without hate and having (something/someone) without loosing that eventually. Their choice of spirituality comes also from a deep sense of feeling victims of life and of other beings. The majority of the mainstream religions are included in this group because they’re all emphasizing the need to reach out to the positive (paradise) without acknowledging the existence of both within and without ourselves.

The third group, are old souls mainly which probably have tried the above mentioned trends and fell into it for lives and lives, and eventually got fed up with their failures and decided to try the real thing this life. They are all victimised to a certain degree, yet here, they realize that they are the creators of own life events and circumstances hence the need to take full responsibility for whatever happens without blaming or accusing others in the process. But they can always fall into the trap of going to one of the previously mentioned groups as being a familiar place to go and due to the hardships met. This group towards the end of their journey know that it’s futile to have any hope, and they have no desire towards any outcome whatsoever anymore,they are just living life consciously and working hard without any expectation towards achieving the fruits of their work, equally accepting whatever outcome and knowing that the true life lessons might come from unexpected and/or unwanted outcomes.

The PH are ready to do whatever to see their hunger for power satiated, therefore most of the times they fall for worshipping entities, performing all kinds of rituals and sacrifices to appease those entities. What they’re not aware of, is the fact that the price for the short-lived moment of power(even if it might last for a lifetime) is extremely high and eventually they will end up being consumed by that very power that were harnessing and manipulating. Some of them feel the danger and try to escape from their cults or habits yet they will have to be very courageous and strong to be able to do that. Even when they get out of the trap, they might fall into another one the trap of overpositivity which transfers them to the “Flower power” group.

Another trick of the illusion is that they might feel too guilty for everything that they’ve done and they prefer to sink further instead of exiting the trap they’re in. But once the person realizes the mistakes made and takes action towards changing the path, if they’re truly sincere in their quest, the Grace will support them. The support never comes in the way we might project or expect it to come, that’s why full trust in one’s Higher Self and the Highest Power has to be there.

Both groups, the flower power and the power hungry have chosen their paths because of ignorance, because of not having a clue about what they want to get, why and what are the repercussions for their ignorance. But at any point the true path can be found, and that’s within, it’s the path of no procrastination, no wasting their time, the path of work with oneself and their distortions that veil then and obstruct their clarity.

The third group is a very small group of souls, mostly migrating from previous groups and risking to go back to one of those groups at any point. Therefore awareness has to be there all the time and decision to never go back no matter what is another key element. Their job is a very tedious one, and they are supposed to face all their inner demons that are veiling their true nature. They are supposed to face their fears, their desires, their anger, their jealousy, their guilt, their wish to control, their victimization and so many other viruses and programs that keep them bound to the self created illusion.

This is not the path to better, not the path to love or to “heights”. It’s just the path within, the path towards nothingness, which is the very fabric of everything. The real information is almost impossible to conceptualize, to verbalize and try to explain, it is beyond our logical capabilities, it’s an unbelievable, non-linear journey in which we jump back and forth, we are going to hell and back with such speed that majority feel like quitting and their strength and willpower is big time tested.

Since the true path is beyond duality, we know that both currents are to be worked with and transformed and neutrality should be the only goal for the soul wanting to find out all the answers to their questions. Whatever you might project and expect, toss it away since we are just unable to grasp what true evolution might look like. Forget about hope, any hope is throwing you back into one of the first two groups. Let Life surprise you, work hard with yourself and your distortions, realize that you are not the body, but Consciousness experiencing the body and the game we’re in. No need to worship anything or anyone like the first 2 groups are doing, true worship is being fully aware of own existence, actions and words and the outcomes of them in our existences and making the decisions that are necessary and suitable for each situation.

Hope, the biggest trap!

I am sure that the majority of you reading this article are going to scratch your heads in disbelief. So I will try to explain my perspective.

When we hope that something is going to happen in a certain way or the outcome of our actions is going to be the one that we want, we pave the way to diving deeper into the illusion and into misery.

Before taking birth into this life we’ve seen the things that we are supposed to experience and we agreed with them, believing that it will be like a walk in the park. Unfortunately the problem is that when the soul is not being bound to any physical vehicle (body) we can’t realize how much the pain would be felt in the body, how overwhelmed we might become by emotional pain and traumas, and we’re also unaware of how addictive is everything in this experience. Besides being out of the body means a certain higher level of freedom and a clearer vision of the world and the game that we are about to enter. Most of us fail over and over, because of hope doubled by ignorance. We are just unable to accept things the way they are. We are unable to realize that whatever happens is correct for us and there’s a big realization behind any trauma and “bad” or unpleasant event. I know this myself, yet it’s so hard to break free out of this extremely well-built game we’re living in.

Hope is the very desire to control, to manipulate life events towards a desired outcome. But what if being in this game with almost no awareness about who we truly are, and what is the purpose of us being here is impossible to grasp? What if surrendering to life and its flow is all we can do? It’s scary, because people are afraid, afraid of the unknown, afraid of events that will shake their lives. But if you are ready to go whatever way life comes, with a smile on your face, then you are definitely on the right track.

Hope is emphasized over and over again by mass-media, and the society in general. It is the warden of our invisible walls jail that we’re inhabiting. Hope is our very strong will and imposition onto ourselves. “I hope that I will get that job”, “I hope that my wife will love me forever “… The silly thing is that we are attached to things and people and by hoping, praying for something to happen we are influencing the outcome of life how it was planned before incarnating this time and we are missing the point hundreds and thousands of lives.

“I hope that I will get that nice job” . Maybe it’s a dead-end for you, maybe it’s some warm unnecessary stop from the evolution. Maybe by concentrating our creative energy towards achieving that goal we’re missing something better.

“I hope that my wife and I will be forever together”.

We are just trying to stop the time and it’s just a laughable idea. What if you don’t project any willpower, you are happy with the wife you are having, yet you are not dependent and you accept that nothing lasts forever and you are surrendering to life and the events that you chose to experience. I am not advocating lacking of vision or promiscuity,.. The things that I am talking about are subtle, they’re happening under the gross aspect of life, so we can enjoy life and its beauty, but recommended not to attach to anything due to the continuously changing characteristic of life.

We are powerful(without knowing it) and this is the downfall in the illusion, because we are trying to manipulate the game to achieve some minor comfort and we forget that our plan was to experience and expand our limited perspective about life. By praying or hoping towards achieving something, we are lost, we wasted another life and it will happen so until we relax and accept the ride (life) as it comes, without hopes or desire to manipulate events or the outcomes.

Now there’s this coronavirus fear all over. This makes us automatically infected by hope. We hope that we are not going to catch the virus, or if we catch it we hope that we won’t die,.. The illusion is getting stronger and stronger in its grip by hope. Accept the “reality” as it is, but employ your maximum awareness and flow in life with awareness. If so, you will always know what to do in a certain situation, you will know if and what to do, if and what to say. Just accept this ever-changing nature of life and your existential drama will fail to shake you.

Hope carries with it desire for a better life, better future, preservation of what we have.. Again attachment. By not being able to fully accept what we’re going through and what we are experiencing at the moment, we are blocking the possibility towards extracting the right essence, the right knowledge out of the situation so we are doomed to repeat the process in this life or the next until the lesson is learned and the true knowledge is extracted and imprinted into our beings.

Give up hope and build inside yourself acceptance towards whatever life brings and once in many thousands of lives we will start realizing our being and the purpose of our existence in here.

Perceiving life as it is

We, people are so ignorant about everything. We are perceiving everything through a very tiny opening through which we peek into the so called reality, yet we are literally unable to grasp the existence. So we are prone to misinterpret continuously the reality we’re living in by projecting old beliefs and understanding from past experiences into the present, so that the present is not at all “present” but some new experience with “past” flavors. Hence, the evolution is getting more and more limited as time goes by, that being the very reason why we perish.

Let’s take a look at our problems and things that we are not so happy about. It seems like we are in deep trouble, yet if we take a moment to contemplate about it, we might be surprised to find out that more than half of the planet’s population have worse experiences, and yet they might take it easier.

It is all about the inner perception about the world. So 2 people experiencing same experience will always feel it and interpret it in different ways.

I found something on the internet that said: “I was sad that I didn’t have shoes until I met a person without legs.” So it’s all about the way we perceive life and mostly we perceive life not only through past distortions and experiences but through comparison with others. Eventually we are living a terrible experience just because of our expectations and hopes. We are just unable to accept whatever comes our way with calm and taking everything as a new opportunity of inner growth and experience.

We are doomed, just because we are dreaming about pleasure and happiness. Because we are slaves to the senses, we are continuously looking for ways to entertain and “enjoy”, yet true enjoyment is in each moment of “Now”, each moment carries embedded the inner contentment, or the happiness that we are foolishly looking for outside. We are already there. Even in the moment of distress, if we manage to look at the things far from above, like watching a movie, we will realize that there’s nothing so tragic, nothing so traumatic. It’s just life, and the more there’s struggle, the more we are pushed by life towards understanding what life is about.

True spirituality is in the conscious experience of each moment of NOW, perceiving the most traumatic and the most pleasurable alike, as pure neutrality. Know that life is a continuous roller-coaster, a perpetual up and down cycle which we can’t stop or control. The only thing that we can change is ourselves and our wrong perception about life, a perception from the victimized and /or entitlement point of view.

Feel life deep inside yourself because there’s nothing outside of us which is not already existing inside. Flow with life, embrace challenges! Let your existence become a flow of your Being and the veils hiding Yourself from yourself will slowly vanish.

What it takes to evolve

The real secret about life is extremely simple, yet so hard to be grasped by the great majority.

The secret is our behavior. Yes, scratch your heads as much as you want but it’s just that. The secret to our evolution is “ignoring” with grace what others are doing or saying no matter how atrocious it may be… We just have mind our actions and reactions. It’s such a mind-blowing element in its own simplicity, but it is just that. The others are just triggers and tools for our true unfolding of the Self.

Imagine that you are a fish in a aquarium, swimming freely along with other fish. Is the fish aware of the outside world? Can he be fully aware of the fact that his life is being watched since he was a tiny little egg then as a tiny fish and now a fully grown fish? Can he be aware of the fact that each left or right turn is attently monitored and noted? Can he realize in its simplicity how limited he is, yet is he able to make real moral choices in the most weird and twisted situations? This is the very exit from the limited being towards something greater, this is the very tiny door towards the evolution from an instinctual animal towards something great, beyond human nature which is animal-like anyway.

And yes, it may seem at moments that some people hate us, some are lying and inventing about us, but our reaction to it it is all that matters.

It is beyond hard, it’s of a non-human way to comprehend and to act naturally like you forgive and understand everyone with a motherlike attitude, but this, is the very root of the actual evolution, whatever else is minor, is bullshit. Whatever else is just dreaming, inventing and fantasizing. But you see, this is very hard, because no one can fake being moral and non-violent, nobody can fake having a good and kind heart, they can try to replicate, but the Life itself will push the tests to such a degree that the fake ones will always lose it, they’ll always let their true nature come to surface.

Once I received an advice which I wish I will always remember, because in the advice there’s the whole world compressed: “If you sink, sink graciously.” What was the message? If you are going down, don’t pull others, just learn to accept defeat graciously and then victory may be around the corner. No place for vengeance, no place for punishing those who are doing wrong things to us.

Many did reprehensible things being “righteous”, because righteousness is just an illusion, even is we are “right” . Righteousness is the “key” to losing oneself and the dear ones, is the key to lose the battle with your lower nature.

Want to evolve spiritually? Are you ready to be helpless with seeming that there’s one to care for you? Are you ready to see the “truth” that everyone may desert you, blame and accuse you? (although it may be just an illusion or an imposed feeling). Are you ready to be publicly or privately humiliated to the degree that you feel like dying? Are you ready to see all your loved ones hating you? Are you also ready to see old friends looking at you like you have the plague? It’s not really necessary to be like that yet it might happen. Are you ready to be a good person and stick with the good manners and good, healthy thinking about everything even when everything may be looking like is against you?

Are you ready to see that people that you were putting up on a pedestal are still people and they may even look now underdeveloped, just to test you and your faith even more? They may even be unawares of being played by Life against you, but it’s just a game, where either you win it, by winning your dark side or you are “righteous” and you allow yourself to blame, accuse, hurt and curse others, like you did over and over again throughout past lives. The things are twisted, after losing such a test, life can become good, so that we may misinterpret it,..

What is certain is that all the people that are evolved spiritually, have gone beyond primeval instinctual living, and they have been tested by the Higher Self lives and lives. They were suffering tremendously, unbearable things yet they managed to be moral and kept the right path regardless of their dramas. Are you able to do it? Or you are just one of the many who are just dreaming about superpowers and gaining control over matter yet runs away from the responsibility for own actions, reactions and things you say?

True Power comes to the Real Master, the master of own life, of own decisions. True Power is self intelligent impossible to trick or lie to. True Power tests the aspirant. And know many, so many are just doomed to fail,…Be one of the few, one of those who stay calm without analyzing without judging, understanding the temporary nature of the world and staying inside, unmovable minding only own actions and reactions.

Are you ready to face it all?? And if so, what’s your motivation? It happened in the past that Power was given as the final test to many, but oh, they misused it and they may be still facing the consequences. You see, it’s not that someone is denying us the power, is that The Power itself is trying to protect us from premature exposure which may destroy us. My advice to myself and all of you readers is to really make sure that you are ready to face unimaginable trials and make sure that you are dedicated to improving your actions and reactions to whichever stimuli. Because true spiritual evolution goes through hell and back and makes us feel like living in a hellish realm.

Be aware that people who helped you big time and who you put great trust into, may be part of your test, they may all of the sudden look like low, like you wasted time and effort, but deep inside your heart lies the truth, don’t rationalize, because the mind will try to delude you, use intuitive sense and surrender to the Higher Power, ask for clarity, don’t expect immediate effect neither answers, just keep an open mind and stay simple and don’t allow your mind to wonder, because it may trick you, just give it time(to the issues you’re having) and whatever is fake fades in time, but what is true will shine eventually and can’t be hidden for long from the real seeker.

I wish that we all have clarity in all of our endeavors and may higher moral be always the guide into whatever action you enterprise. If you feel that you are not ready to face the dirt, don’t start any spiritual quest because many projected easiness onto it and although it may look easy for those who achieved it, for those struggling to get there it’s but invisible and untouchable goal until the moment you close your eyes and surrender to your Higher Self and your Guidance and take The Leap of Faith. Sounds easy, but it’s almost impossible. It takes tremendous dedication, selflessness, patience, resilience, effort but most of all Trust. So I wish that there are many of you readers who may benefit at some point of this information, because one day, when the time is right You will remember it.

In the moments of distress you might forget or discard this information, probably because we are too burdened by life’s vortex or maybe we are not allowed to have any advantage, so I suggest that you just develop detached love towards all that is alive or existing in the illusion and developing high moral values and be ready to surrender and feel beaten up and disappointed, but the good thing is that it won’t last long and your memories are going to be coming back and you will be able to remember this information and to assess your progress. Don’t be hard on yourself if you are failing over and over again, if only one time you manage to do it, to overcome your animal, then you passed to the Big League.

My well wishes to all of you.

The middle point, where there is stillness

How many times have I been there?! Knowing what I have to do or say, I was happy to get a glimpse of the Immortal Knowledge through my own realizations, yet the ego and mind eventually tricked me, once again, into forgetfulness. I have no doubt that everything is known in my core, yet the ego occults the Truth, along with the limited mind’s giving of reasons and logical explanations to this and that and the avoidance of the right “path”. Oh, what a waste of time! since the righteousness is the very root of ignorance and there are no “better tools” to use to help one lose one’s soul than ignorance and righteousness. Each are born of the other.

Since everything is but illusion, is there anything to be righteous about? Since everything is but creation of the mind (like a dream), is there anything to run for, to crave? Are we able to take an object back from our dreams into the so-called “reality”? Then how can we fall prey to greed? Everything is but a dream. Is there any benefit in cheating people or in mistreating them even for the most “righteous”of reasons?

Even so, it’s extremely difficult to apply what we read and understand into our lives, since it goes against everything that we have ever known.

Many times, we think that we’ve changed, that we’ve improved… It’s just another trick of the ego. Real change is sometimes mind-blowing; it’s a giant leap out of the plain, tridimensional world that we “see”, and into the quantum world. Yet first the change may so gradual and looking like we are not evolving at all, but by looking back at how we used to be, we realize that we are no longer the same, that we are aware, we KNOW, we are not acting upon the reactions, upon the old programs the way we used to. Slowly slowly we are realizing who we are and what is the point of all of this.

Real change comes by Grace, along with huge amounts of courage to go against everything that we’ve stood by our entire lives (which is no longer suitable). Actually, lives upon lifetimes we have wasted in perpetually “missing the point”. But now, it is time to gather all the pain and become immersed in it fully with the joy of knowing that I am doing the right thing – what I had avoided for eons. And that pain, devoid of explanation, emotion and any righteousness or guilt, creates the shift that I couldn’t possibly have dreamt of before. The same pain that had bound me before, if experienced with full awareness and attention, will open my eyes ever more and oh! when I “open” my eyes I realize that everything is worthless. Everything that is dual is just a smart way to bind me to even more affectations of illusion. Remove yourself from the “dream”! Stop creating a meaning for the illusion, or the illusion will devour you as it has done, over and over again, in our past existences. I do everything dispassionately, regardless of the results because passion is no longer for the “I”. When there is no “I”or “mine” or “me” there is Being. And when I do, I do as the Being – Awareness. In removing expectations and hopes, the sorrow will be one with joy, neither Ying nor Yang, but an incorporation of them all.

I cannot entertain thoughts or emotions, because I am beyond those, like the butterfly that is above the caterpillar. But, when I entertain them, although I am already the butterfly, I see myself (and am seen by others) as a maggot. By giving into instincts and entertaining lower thoughts, the Divinity is blocked since That (the Absolute) is the untouched – pure Blissful Being – Existence.

I entertain only the ideas that benefit me the most. I remember that there’s no good or bad choice, only my choice, that I can change when I dislike the fruits of such choice.

Whatever is already lost and gone, I don’t waste my tears on since that loss had a reason. The reason was to wake me up. In learning the lesson, new opportunities emerge since once we stop being the victims of illusion, whilst still in it, it can only serve us.

Be aware of both polarities since they are both as wrong as they can be. The violin teacher said to the child, “You see, my dear, the secret lies in the middle, since if you tighten the strings too much, they are going to snap, or if they are left too loose, the sound may be improper or missing.” So the teaching can only happen on the middle path where there is no exaggeration or extreme. Like a pendulum which is still, immovable in the 0 point.

May the Grace that gave me these realizations be the driving force of our further evolution, and may it pull us out of self-created misery.

It’s something that I have been searching for my whole life, but only now am I ready to receive it, so here it is, self-manifested, exactly in the right moment.

Everything in due time

Everything comes in due time! There’s no bigger truth then that. You can try, you can run, you can pay or you can try to bribe, to force something to come to you, yet unless is the right time, that thing will stubbornly refuse you. Indeed you can be prepared, you can have a higher Vision which you need to pursue, but until the right time is there nothing much will happen. That’s why there is nowhere to rush, nothing to be afraid or worried about because whatever it is to be experienced you will definitely experience. And the only thing that you can do is surrender yourself to the flow of life. Life will never take you on the path that you think is going to take you, and if you hope for calm waters and a smooth path, life will give exactly the opposite, and not because it wants to disappoint you but because you are unable to see what’s the best for you. That’s why you sit back, relax and enjoy the ride. It can be really bumpy at points yet don’t worry, the bumpier the road is, the more are the chances of you evolving. And on this path according to my experience, whenever you feel the lowest you should know that the ego is living its last days of being in charge, the ego is not going to die, to be removed nor annihilated but kept at bay. Because the ego feels that its days of ruling over you are coming to an end. And now it’s trying its best to bring all the heavy artillery, all the victimisation and past pains that weren’t transcended because its power is vanishing, because the true self is getting stronger and stronger. So whoever is managing to go over to The Dark Night of the soul which is nothing but a play of ego, whoever is sturdy enough, and dedicated to the highest power and The Guru, having unshaken faith in them and in own higher nature, that being will definitely be awaken. But remember don’t rush anywhere but purify yourself daily through rejecting thoughts and emotions and stay sturdy and humble cultivating spiritual morale and not even the sky will be the limit.

How to not give a damn

Many times we allow others to imbalance us. The fault is never of “the others” since the responsibility for our lives and interpretation of it lays just with us, and the others are just mere “buttons” triggering us, our fears and distortions.

I noticed a disturbing fact about myself and I am very sure that I am not the only one that feels like this:

Let’s say that we are walking on the street and somebody is staring at us, “shamelessly”. As soon as we noticed him/her, our insecurity kicks in, especially if his gaze doesn’t look friendly, or looks mocking or if we feel that he’s measuring us. We see him laughing while he is watching us pass by. Again a sting in the heart: am I ugly, stupid, do I have carrot pieces between the teeth, is my pants zipper open? We are unable to simply be, ignoring or being comfortable with whatever happens. Watch this feeling, it’s one of the old patterns that has to be transcended and worked with. It is the very lack of self-love and confidence that make us indeed unappealing to anyone else.

When we are insecure, we are devoid of love to ourselves. How can we love someone else then?

It means that our “love” may be based on the other’s appreciation and show of care and “love”, a common exchange happening nowadays in the inter-individual relationships dynamics. When these (love, care, appreciation) are not shown by the other(-s), self-doubt appears. This self-doubt will create a mess in our lives, at first will spread like an infectious disease onto other levels of our lives like job, relationship with kids, neighbors… So, the self-sabotage appears. In these moments, if possible, let go. Let go of all expectations and desires, just surrender everything to the space,to the nothingness. Remember the Higher Self and God, and fully surrender to whatever is happening. Whatever it is, there’s no way you can change that in those moments. In moments of distress our decisions may be wrong, based on the emotional imbalance that we’re in. That’s why, let everything subside, let it be just “nothing”, as you will soon discover. Go back to some stressful situation in the past. That restlessness and fear and all are not there anymore, everything was an illusion.

We may start inventing nonsense, unifying imaginary dots, remembering things… Going lower and lower, feeling scared, deserted, betrayed and all the lower vibrational range of feelings and emotions. All the insecurities are appearing: we feel ugly, unwanted, unworthy. Well, we definitely forgot about being a spectator, only watching the storm, but not jumping into it. So remember to be a spectator even when you feel that you are in the middle of the mess, it’s just an illusion. If we realize that we can be spectators of own dramas without a need to interfere, give thoughts or analyze much, we achieved a certain “next level”. It is hard, almost impossible, because it takes some otherworldly effort to really detach and decide that we are not supposed to be creating more emotions or explanations about something that is already there.

Good luck and may you be supported on your path as I know well that all true seekers are supported, even without them knowing.

Evolution is here Now! Decide to start, and the path will unfold itself to you.

Are we rushing anywhere?

If the suicidal person will just give a day or two for that issue to burn itself off, there will be no death by suicide on this planet. I bet many of us had the idea at some point. Yet we are still here, and whatever was the motive that pushed us to take into account such a possibility, it eventually faded away. But in those moments, we love to project, to create monsters out of plain nothing, to feel that everyone hates us and takes advantage of us (victimized perspective), we tend to analyze and over analyze the facts, finding more disturbing (fake) things that we didn’t see before yet there’s nothing there, everything seems darker and darker. It is all our own creation and projection. Nothing is ever good or bad, there is just our analysis on that issue which brings a meaning to the facts. In fact everything is meaningless and time destroys eventually everything: ideas, perceptions, actual people, buildings, planets, stars, you name it. If you are not feeding the fire with fuel and/or it has no oxygen it will turn off by itself. Same with whatever issue you encounter. You feed a problem with your thoughts with your attention to it, with projecting, imagining outcomes, future events. Nothing is there, you are just artificially creating a bigger problem which doesn’t exist. Stop it, divert your mind from it, but come back when you’re calm so that you learn from it. Breathe deeply and you’ll see that whatever it was, it was just a storm in a glass of water.

Watch it, because when you are taking the road to fixing and removing the bad programming in your mind and subconscious, you are opening a Pandora’s box which is impossible to close. Either you walk the path or the path is going to consume you. Many have died trying (literally), it’s a path for the courageous, for the selfless people. It’s a magical path, which can be compared to a marathon but a marathon against various distorted versions of your own self. Be aware. It’s not easy, but it’s not always painful either. And it all depends on the perspective, so have no perspective, don’t judge the situation anyhow, accept everything comes your way lightly.

I would like to tell a small story about perspectives: One Buddhist monk sat under the tree where Buddha was said that attained enlightenment. That tree was a special tree and sometimes it was a path of communication between the true seekers and God. So this monk, looks above and asks:
– In how many lives I will attain enlightening?
God answers:
– You see, my son, count the leaves of the tree and as many lives it will take you to reach the enlightenment.
– This is horrible, said the monk and starts running while screaming and whining.

A second monk comes and sits under the tree and asks the same question.
The answer invariably the same.
– Thank you, that’s great… and he starts jumping like a child, claping hands and laughing… so I will get my enlightenment after all…
In that same moment the monk got enlightened.

You see, both monks received the same answer but each saw it in a very different way. Life is always according to the individual perspective and perception through own veils. And the one with no expectations received the boon that was promised after thousand lives. So like this in life, one has to learn to let go. Letting go of everything: expectations, people, hopes, desires, addictions, bad habits… But there has to be a vision, a Higher Vision, a goal that is beyond any tiny little mundane ambitions. And being patient and understanding that it may take a lot of time, may shorten actually the time of waiting and transforming oneself may come sooner than expected. The funny part is that whoever is rushing and wants things fast, will just run like a tiny mouse in a hamster wheel, pointlessly, since you can’t make anything happen before the time is right. You can never trick the Higher Self, the Universal Consciousness, you can just arm yourself with humbleness and patience and maybe you’ll be pleasantly surprised.

See, this self-improvement road is a very long and bumpy road, but by Grace, you are supported, even when you think you are not. You are loved and supported and above all watched. Start on this route with no expectations whatsoever. Just desire to be a better version of yourself and many boons are given without even you noticing. Like in a game when one player reaches the end of the level, he gets points and rewards, because after all this life is just a game, and the only certitude in this game is that at some point everyone surrenders the body.

If we make the boons our destination, we are just caught in the power game, and that same power which we may be dreaming of having will eventually destroy us.

So, you think is there anywhere to rush?
