The battle for time

In this experience, we came to have there’s a continuous battle for our time, an occult battle that exhausts our most precious asset while in this dimension: TIME.

All the movie creators and providers, TV, and social media are stealing our time. Also our phones have becomed their biggest tool of time-stealing. Time which we can use to work with our inner child, to face and incorporate our shadow self, to face fears, work with our distortions, spot the programming, and undo it for us to free ourselves from everything that we are not.

Spending time with our dear ones and meeting interesting and wise people is not a waste of time since there’s a continuous exchange of energy and emotions happening on a subtle level which soothes our beings, but everything should be done and experienced in moderation and a non-compulsive way, and awareness should be always employed.

We are living in a constant race in which everything is trying to drain us out of this unknown treasure that we are so easily wasting.

How can we reverse this unfortunate waste? you might ask. One of the secrets is: to be aware, no matter what are we engaged in doing, or saying, whatever we might be listening to. Like that, everything is observed, and the simple fact that we are fully conscious of what’s going on changes the whole process.

Let’s say we’re out drinking and going to the disco, if our Higher awareness is not there, we will only waste time and expose ourselves to subtle possession of entities that are happily taking temporary advantage of the ignorants drinking and dancing and whatnot. But when the awareness is involved, the whole thing happening is under “adult supervision” and we observe ourselves craving for alcohol, wanting to attract attention, we realize the mechanisms behind all those actions and their potential value or lack of it altogether.

Awareness is the key, like a loving parental figure watching the little child wobbling around and pointing out the hidden aspects and sharing important knowledge about  the apparent situation. Awareness is observing how alcohol intake is diminishing the connection between the observer and itself, how everything if left adrift tends to go to unconscious desires coming to the surface and how it opens up our aura for entities to possess us and push us even more down the slippery slope of forgetfulness and vice.

At points the awareness vanishes, or its capacity to steer us back to ourselves is big-time diminished. That’s the point where unwanted entry happens and when we might even lose our limited awareness of what we do and experience. That one of the instances through which time loss happens and many times we’re totally unaware of that happening.

Another instance when we are wasting time unnecessarily is when we fall to compulsory actions, we binge-eat, binge-watch something on the phone or TV, binge-drink, use substances for the sake of “having fun”. There’s nothing wrong with having fun in life, but some of the activities that we consider in the category of “having fun” are very detrimental especially if they become a habit, therefore a big time-stealer is the desire. Any desire is an impulse to have or do something which is supposed to entertain us but if properly observed it may reveal its dark side.

The desire appears out of the lack of our inner peace and acceptance of life as it is, a feeling of lack and insufficiency. So finding our inner peace and self-reliance is mandatory to diminish the power that desires exert in our existence.

Even reading a book is a waste of time, especially if the information in that book fails to bring to the awareness important and valuable information that will make us thrive further. As such watching a video online can add value to our existence or steal our precious life through consuming the limited treasure of time. We should question our actions and impulses by asking ourselves if going somewhere or doing something is going to be a waste of time (from the higher perspective) or it’s going to add precious information, experience and wisdom. But whatever is done through being conscious and aware it undoubtedly brings value and wisdom to the experience.

A healthy dose of pragmatism should be taken along with all our activities and the question that ought to be asked i: how is this going to enrich my life experience or what can I observe and learn from it? At points, we just want to relax and have fun, lose ourselves for a while in some “unhealthy” or not-so-beneficial actions. Do it! We came to experience a big range of experiences but do it with awareness, be conscious while doing it and it will only add to your knowledge, and apply balance to everything and you can’t go wrong.

Everything that is experienced once or twice adds value and expertise. Therefore we shouldn’t run away from life either, but whatever becomes a habit, especially if it’s the use of substances, addictions to alcohol, food, and sex among other things, are detrimental and fulfilling the role of time-stealers.

Time is the greatest treasure in this ephemeral existence. The rulers of the world are well aware of it, therefore they are all into capturing as much as they can from the masses, and they’re developing continuously their capacity to capture our time and implicitly our lives. Ideally, we should start questioning how our time is used, and what’s the benefit of doing something from a higher/spiritual perspective. Again: if it’s a first time, even if detrimental, it adds to the wisdom and the experience if properly assessed. But whatever becomes a compulsion, whatever is hard to exit from, it’s a trap.

Also another secret to staying fully conscious and experiencing life with awareness is avoiding projections in the future or roaming in the past through the thoughts, in other words staying in “Now”.

Past and future are also stealing the present moment, so it is depriving ourselves of the only valuable experience that happens NOW.

Now let’s go out there and employ our full consciousness, be aware regardless of what we are engaged in, and instead of losing time, whatever we might be doing, we will gain wisdom through continuous observation and by balancing our life through that awareness.

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.

The arrogance of “knowing”

Have you ever observed a bunch of fish and other living creatures in a home aquarium? They’re mostly ignorant of what goes on outside of the glass walls that separate them from our world, or if they are to some degree aware, that amount is insufficient to grasp entirely the existence of something else outside of their existence.

I kid you not that compared to what truly happens in our proximity at any given point in time, we are more ignorant then the fish is about the world outside of their world. Even to compare our limitedness to the limitedness of a hedgehog in daylight would be a gross misrepresentation and understatement of the true extent of our ignorance.

In reality I feel that we are observed, watched, measured and studied, like we do while researching ants, fish or any other scientific observations of beings that are less aware than we are. And our observers might be themselves observed and studied by beings beyond their capacity to perceive.

The senses perceive in a very limited way our immediate proximity, and the mind takes all that information and creates a hodgepodge story about its interpretation and translation of the sensual perception. So the story, which we ignorantly call reality is an undoubtedly mystified and fantastic version of what the senses in their very limited capacity manage to register.

The mind creates the story based on learned things (also based on the unreal) , dogmas and other “truths” that our parents were force-fed themselves in their youth and automatically gets imposed onto us in our childhood. The mind also uses memory, which is again a non-factual representation of past events, but the interpretation which distorts even more our perception and idea of what is reality.

So to put it straight, our “reality” is as far from the true reality happening inside and outside of ourselves as the danger of the fire in a painting on the wall harming us.

Now to get to the point I wanted to make: I realize how silly it is to sustain and fight for whatever knowledge, no matter what that may be with others, because all of that will be one way or another untrue, far from the Truth and both factions are fighting for their “truth” yet they are both wrong no matter what they might say.

I am by nature very fiery in sustaining my own beliefs and creeds, but Alas, it’s so sad when I realize that no matter what I discover, find out, or say it is still insufficient and very far from the REAL, since the whole understanding of things came by using the same tools of creating fictitious worlds far from the true reality, namely the limited senses and limited mind. And because the REAL can’t be verbalized, but perceived in silence.

Transcending the limited senses and mind is advancing a step closer to the unfathomable truth that is impossible to utter and grasp with the old tools that I mentioned above, but can be perceived when we let go of all worries, thoughts and struggle to make sense of whatever we are exposed to. That perception is also called a gut feeling, or intuitive sense, which is the next step, the “sixth sense” on the eternal expansion of our conscious awareness and it overrides the limited judgemental mind and the senses if properly cultivated and heeded.

Therefore we should all learn to feel beyond the 5 senses, and beyond any logic in trying to make sense of something, and know that the senses are just rudimentary tools that can’t serve us anymore on this path of self-mastery, and the inner or gut feeling is to be exercised and worked with until the silencing of the mind with its phantasmagoric interpretation that makes it just another guardian in this prison that keeps us ensnared in a mental labyrinthic construct is put to rest.

To conclude: the ones who think they know, they’re ignorants! and I am one of those because I keep on going back to the old self that fights others for ideas that are always left behind in obsolescence when we grow in awareness. So how stupid is it to fight for an idea and concept that next year will become redundant as the beliefs of children about the existence of a monster under their bed when they are grown-ups?

But I should also reiterate the fact that I observed and emphasized in previous writings that everything is true in its particular moment and to the person to which that is suitable, which in itself may seem to be contradicting the previous statements in the article avove. But if properly perceived it reminds us that everyone has its own “truths” which we might have outgrown and our truths at the moment will have to be abandoned to make place to the next level of truth that we are prepared and ready to embody, until those too are to be transcended and replaced with the higher understanding to which our humbleness and openness qualified us for. So what is there to “know”, when everything is eventually swallowed by obsolescence?

So the only thing I can affirm that I know, and not be wrong about, is that I don’t know!
