Experience it all

One of the tricks through which souls are maneuvered into returning to this experience is the idea of unfinished businesses, things and events that we refused to have, or we were too scared to dare facing.

Attachments are the other trick, and it can be any type of attachment: to an idea, to a lover, to a family member, friend, pet, belonging or all of them together. Another attachment is the religious/ spiritual one that can be used against us.

Ideally, every single day we should accept whatever is laid in front of us, without rejecting or denying it, just fully accepting whatever is given, as we accept a movie plot at the cinema, knowing that we can’t change the direction of the events in the projected movie. But through the experience we have, we have the potential to change things. Unfortunately, we mostly have the power to get more lost rather than grow out of it. Everything is made addictive, so we get hooked onto each experience and crave for more. That’s when the game gets a grip on the player instead of the situation being otherwise.

You came to have this experience, have it fully, embracing each particle of it, while trying not to get captured in its snare. “Be in the world but not of the world”.

Have everything but make sure you don’t crave anything, make sure you make peace with the idea of you potentially leaving this game tomorrow and be ready not to look back, either at family, lover or any other potential trap to bring you back.

Do not get stuck in the movie you just finished, but continue to let go of it, and every experience and be ready for the next one. The capacity to let go of everything, anything and anyone at any point is the key to successfully escaping the trap of being stuck in the game.

There’s no debt you owe to anyone and nobody owes you anything. If you know this, you’ll be safe. Our kindness is used against us when we are leaving, as a manipulation tactic. Guilt and shame and even the sense of duty will be used against us. Beings reminiscing religious figures of our choice will be employed to keep us in the loop. 

Promises of evolution, enlightenment and the achievement of perfection will try to trick one into coming back. But you should know that we are already all-knowingly, perfect and enlightened.

There are no stairs to climb, no place to reach, nothing to achieve. You’re just a being that has it all, yet wants to explore lower, and rather limited realms. It’s like a wealthy person having planes, helicopters and other vehicles yet enjoying the thrill of riding an old bike or skateboard and eventually becoming oblivious of his previous belongings. You can always get back to your vehicles and not remain stuck with the skateboard. The trick here is that, in the game we play, we can become forgetful of all those flying vehicles and allow ourselves to identify with the skateboard and get tricked into repeating the experience with the promise of a car, when, in reality, we are not even bound to time and space, hence even planes or helicopters are not really necessary.

If you are Everything that ever was, is and will be, which we all are, how can you owe anything to anyone, or how can anyone be indebted to you?

Even though the sun is hidden for days and weeks by clouds, that doesn’t mean it disappeared. As such, although you’re unaware of the Divine essence within you, that doesn’t mean that its existence is canceled by your unawareness of it.

Playing it safe in life is avoidance of the experience and, although many assume greatness or even sanctity in playing it safe, they are just deluding themselves. They’re deluded by their one-sided perspective. Whereas those who traveled deep within the hellish realms and yet traveled back through the obstacles and opposition, back to wholesomeness, those are the true unrecognized heroes.

So make sure you experience it all, whatever is yours to have, finish everything on your plate, or you might get tricked into return by your own unfulfilled desires and experiences and unfinished businesses and attachments.

Don’t make a big deal out of anything, forget, forgive and love unconditionally, be kind and selflessly giving, live courageously and know that you are already perfect, wise and enlightened. You just forgot! Now remember!

In order to become Something, unbecome everything

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Life is a movie

Life is a movie that is so well made that it absorbs us in it, it captures us with its plots and twists that we risk forgetting ourselves and getting immersed in the drama and the apparent tragedy that’s on the screen.

Our Higher Self enjoys the movie, and it does so because of the interactive aspect of it and because each element can bring about expansion but it can also entrap the soul by the forgetfulness of who and what we are. The identification with the body is one of the traps. It’s like meeting someone and presenting yourself:

Hi, I am Nissan!

Hi, I am Ford

Sounds silly isn’t it? Now, know that we are pure Light and a splinter of the fabric of Everything g that Is, how can we be John or Jane? We drive a “John” or “Jane” vehicle, Yes, but we are definitely not limited nor bound to that. But the idea that we are John binds us to that prison, the body of John, which limits very much our perception about everything, and entraps us into the self-created snare.

No matter how we may perceive it, the movie (life) is a masterpiece. It’s such a great success that we lost ourselves in its thralls, lives after lives. But nothing is that tragic, nothing is bad. We chose to forget ourselves or we were captured by the intricacy and by its unexpected turns and flips, so what? Look at the amount of experience we’ve accumulated.

One way to pull ourselves out of our limitedness is remembering that we are beyond everything we see, believe, or feel, and I am being purposely a bit ambiguous because it’s enough to just remember that we are definitely not what we assume we are, and everyone should find out for themselves who, what, and why they came to this experience, as each of us has a different set of goals and minute purposes beyond the general one of removing ignorance, and limitations.

When we see the movie as being a movie and stop identifying with the vehicle, the change in perception is instant. It’s like an “aha” moment. It doesn’t enlighten one right away, actually, it can take some time according to each individual, because the lower mind is like a separate entity in itself, trying to preserve its power over us by creating scenarios and parallel scripts besides the already intricate scenario of life itself, to deceive us when it feels like we are close to restoring our self-awareness.

One advice that I give myself and I gladly share with you my dear reader is: whenever you feel threatened, fearful or worried, try to remember that it’s an interactive movie that you came here to dive deep into and  master, and allow Love to fill you up to the brim, love for the movie, for yourself, and everything.

  Smile , breathe and relax and understand once and for all that although we are powerful beyond anything we can imagine, we came to explore and experience exactly this “rudimentary” state in which we find ourselves in at the moment. So try to enjoy it, and instead of becoming a casualty of “the movie”, just laugh and cry and flow with its script, but don’t forget who you are, and most importantly: remember what you are NOT! You are not Nissan, Mercedes neither Opel, as you are definitely not John neither Jane, these are all just vehicles. It’s recommended to take good care of your vehicle, as it is an important tool for us but not to identify ourselves with it.

And to reiterate my point once again I would like you to try to remember something that happened recently and that “shook your world” and try to see it now knowing that you are not a victim of life, but its very Creator. Know that You (with capital Y) are enjoying all these obstacles and trouble, as a cinephile enjoys a good movie, since a movie that is all good and monotonous in its “all goodness” will fail to attract interest, especially if it doesn’t have some ups and downs and twists and turns.

Now let’s see all the drama from our past with this newly acquired understanding, is it still scary? Still shaking our world? There’s no drama, right? It was just the limited perception we had about the world that deceived us. Trust me, even pain seems like it’s not that painful anymore. Don’t get me wrong, it is still felt, but the knowledge that we are watching a movie, if properly understood, will rewrite the script and our perception will expand and become more and more real until we recognize everything as being our creation, our own game that we chose to participate in for sport.

What’s the point?

Is there any reason to allow a multitude of thoughts to roam free in our awareness? Is it making any sense to lament something that happened in the past, or to wonder how things would have been if we had chosen a different approach?

Is there any reason to allow thoughts about future, when we were many times planning carefully things in our head yet when faced with that potential event we were planning in our thoughts, the whole plan and projection, everything might have taken a different turn, or the potential event failed to happen whatsoever.

Obviously on a thorough check, thoughts have no point. Whatever, whenever happened is already in the past, and it happened because it was the best choice and outcome that had to come to existence at that exact moment. Going to the past to extract the juice of it is a good thing to do, but the play of assumptions and projections of what could have been is useless and even more so, malignant.

So by realizing that, we realize the futility of feeling sorry for opportunities we didn’t take or apparent wrong turns that we made according to our feelings and influences we were under in that time.

“I should have done this and that”, “I should have said this or that” or “I shouldn’t have done it”, it’s as useless as crying for the spilled milk since undoubtedly it can’t be undone. But what I am trying to convey is even beyond that common understanding of the things stated above, more than that, I share my personal realization that everything is always perfect and every single element and event is exactly what needs to be there. And this can easily be observed after a period of time, looking back in retrospective. Everything is correct!

Imagine the free time and energy that we may save if the moment we observe ourselves being dragged by thoughts and feelings about the past, we just stop and realize that it couldn’t have been otherwise, and that it was the best choice and outcome at the time. Bam! we go back to the present moment.

It’s easy? yes and no. It’s easy when we are determined and when we managed to integrate this realization and it’s not easy if we are still dragged away by the unstoppable flow of thoughts that is continuously trying to divert and distract us from being in the present moment, creating a leakage of energy towards whatever the thoughts object is, be it past or future. Disregarding thoughts and knowing that everything is right; that’s when we preserve and enhance our energy and spiritual essence. That’s why every true spiritual master  has as a main recommendation towards those who they teach: staying in the now, being fully in the present moment, untouched by anything else, free from fantasy, and free from roaming in the past.

There’s a misconception about our human nature and that we are to dive deep into the illusion to the point of forgetting who we are and the purpose of the journey. We are here to dive deep indeed, but ideally, we should do it with awareness, mostly in the observer mode, transcending slowly even the observer into realizing the wholesomeness of the existence and that nothing is truly outside of us.

Falsely enlighten people or second graders

I remember first grade at school, shy, incredulous, hopeful, happy, fearful, and all these mixed feelings, and when I finished it, I was like: “Wow, you’re almost a second grader”, and I was somewhat proud of myself, not that it was complicated or something like that, but because we are taught to be hunting and looking for the next level at all time.

When school started again and we were in the schoolyard and we observed those little ones about to start their first grade, wow we felt good, like we weren’t anymore the youngest and the dumbest. I remember that feeling and I identify that same feeling in the great majority of the so-called gurus, healers, self-denominated star seeds, teachers  or who knows what other names they call themselves. Yes, I kid you not, the greatest majority haven’t even finished the second grade, but they feel as they touched the greatness, and that they’re the king of the world like Leonardo in Titanic.

Some people are so deep into their karmic crap, so deep into their academic and bookish knowledge that as soon as they perceive there might be a slight better vibe about themselves, they get infatuated with themselves, drunk with their newly discovered charisma and limited power that they managed to get, and they decide that to be the enlightenment or they’ve reached some sort of Magnus Opus of their existence.

By believing that, they have chosen illusion and self-gratification, they become the blind that leads the blind to the precipice, not knowing that they have barely scratched the surface of the iceberg and most likely they will try to squeeze some money out of that niche they discovered.

Why is that happening? You may ask. Because their motives are not genuine, their motives for starting the whole thing were desire for powers, luxury, money, partnership/pair, fame, and charisma and when they were given a glimpse of the “second grade”, they decided that they are great and now they can teach people how to get enlighten themselves, occupying a niche in the so-called spiritual market, getting a piece of the cheese, while rendering them (the people they “teach”) useless, astray and attached to their being, and projected outside of themselves, after giving away their material possessions, and energy, making them filthy rich while they, the students are becoming poor and disempowered. Could that be right?

So, this army of thieves  self-called masters couldn’t have reached more than the second grade of this eternal school of souls, because they lacked flexibility, patience, and humbleness! (please observe them and see for yourself), and they are never empowering their students, as it should be, like a good father giving the boy a rifle and teaching him how to hunt, but they give predigested “food” ideas of the past, or words from old scriptures that they themselves fail to assimilate on a deeper basis and some logical basic one. They give distant promises of “enlightenment” where they maintain their upper hand and control over their “students”. So they will create people who are dependent on their being and personality and they will create a power distance so that will falsely create more value about themselves.

Some are not only ignorant second graders but malignant beings that were long ago captured and possessed by their demons of greed, lust, and hunger for power and they have become, some knowingly, some unknowingly tools of the Matrix to keep people captured here.

But, everything comes our way by the Divine Mandate of the power of resonance, we attract what we are! If you stumbled on some of these second graders and you gave them your money and your power, retract your power and be happy you managed to see the illusion and the trickery, know that as a sign of life that whatever you had to experience or pay for, was paid, otherwise you will be still blind and veiled and you will be feeding that entity’s charisma with your energy and money.

Each one of the people who have a God complex or assume that are great and they’ve reached the pinnacle of their evolution are going to be revealed by life that they are not so, they are going to be shown that they are not what they claim or believe themselves to be, they are going to be deprived of part or the entirety of their powers so they can easily know that they are not true leaders, healers nor gurus, they will be forced to see their limitedness and ignorance. This is their biggest test, where they choose their belonging to which side, because until here, although wrong and misleading, they were more or less ignorant of that reality, but now if they see that they are just second graders and pretend themselves to be masters and doctors, this is when they have truly chosen the path of deceit that takes them further and further away from truth, and that which every soul is searching, which is coming back home, to the primordial Source where we all left wandering and uniting with That being one with All and all with One!

Some will compensate for the loss of power, or charisma through complicated and sick magical sacrifices and ceremonies that will just dig their hole deeper and deeper.

It’s a very common occurrence with young souls to fall into the traps of power, fame, lust, riches, and creating or being part of cults, from the simple fact that old souls probably already experienced several times in their past lives by being both fake teachers and healers and their students. So I am not trying to diminish anyone, let everyone have their own chosen experience, because every single individual soul is following their hidden and unique path back to the Source, whether they are aware of it or not. Like Thoth said:  (I am paraphrasing) “look at them all and see children in different stages of their growth, as you were once a child yourself”.

In reality there’s nothing to judge or be afraid of, because even the naughtiest of the children, is brought by life itself back to the path of maturity, and knowing now that the more we advance through schools and grades, there’s still infinity and an eternal inner and outer expansion ahead of us. This realization should keep us humble and continue our walking aware that there’s no true end on this path of evolution and no matter what grade we’ve passed and how learned we’ve become, on the immediate higher plane of experience all the knowledge we have has to be abandoned for being obsolete for that place, so one of the best things we can do is to unlearn everything, especially mainstream ideas or we can not empty our vessel to receive better information on the next level since you can’t build a good, strong house on the foundation of the old straw hut.

There are very few that are genuine and that are sharing their true spiritual effulgence with the world, but they are mostly unknown, because the true knowledge and spiritual power can’t be a thing recognized by masses of people. Meeting one of them is a confirmation of the Eternal Grace being present in our lives. So I am very grateful for those who I met throughout my life and helped me in any form or manner.
