Nu le putem cere “celorlalti” ca ei sa iasa din intuneric, asta deoarece “ceilalti” sunt o continuare a noastra.
No point of view
2011/05/30 Leave a comment
Even the things you take as “most important” are nothing else but the outcome of a point of view.
“No point of view” means to perceive life intuitively, with a perspective surpassing mere intellectual understanding. “No point of view” is a “positive” negation. In this sense, Truth is non-thought, non-possessing, with other words, nothing to gain or lose; a state of inner richness beyond any evaluation. Universality. Unutterable freedom.
Established reality

We hate whatever doesn´t conform with our established reality.
In a broad sense we hate the Unknown (as our identity can function only within the range of the known) and consequently we hate Life, as life is an utterly unknown process.
This hatred and fear of the unknown has deprived us of the most precious gift: the immediate connection with the deep mystery of life. The loss of it has become our curse, the beginning of all madness and dysfunction.
What do we know really?

What we know, is most of the times just the old, isn´t it? Because if we are to define ourselves, we define what we have been, never what we are now!!!…Life actually defies all definitions.
We actually have no idea What or Who we are in this very moment.
And due to a huge fear to embrace life without preconceived opinions, we kill this moment with stupid definitions cause outside the well-known patterns of thinking who are we after all…? We live in the “old”, although, of course, we run frantically after the “new”, which is nothing else but a renewed old, isn´t it?
Meaning is finding peace
2011/05/29 Leave a comment
Ultimately, meaning is not a matter of doing something. Meaning is primarily a state of mind .
When there is that deep meaning within you, there is also peace, equilibrium, presence.
In this presence, action becomes total, consequently successful, as it is done in joy.
Acting then, is no longer the outcome of necessity, a search for motivation, but a natural
flow … moment by moment ….
Meaning

So…what is it that makes you feel MEANING?
Only when you live your personal meaning, are you able to see your fellow-man, to come near other people, instead of feeling threatened, creating a wall between you and them.
So again:
What is your meaning?…and having said this, WHO ARE YOU?
Singularity
2011/05/29 Leave a comment
Unity of life is not a “beautiful concept”.
Unity is grasping on a deep mental-emotional level that Life is singular. I said this earlier: PLURALITY IS ILLUSION.
Oneness is the answer, not the thought of it, but THE FELT ONENESS.
Only this singularity can see and mirror your and others´ true self.
The past

Our refusal to see how things really are now, makes us cling frantically to what we know, i.e, the past.
But at the end of the day, what do we have in this very moment? …NOTHING…
We hate to admit this, for many of us this is facing ultimate Fear… But only by having the courage to give up the idea of security and identification with the known, are we able to distinguish and see things differently, and hopefully renew ourselves. But this may be too much for mortals…
Why people don´t socialize
2011/05/28 3 Comments
More often than not, you realize that there is no more genuine contact between people. And alas, civilization is supposed to mean exactly what we don´t have anymore : good, fruitful relation and communion with each other.
This is due to the fact that we feel something is intrinsically wrong with us, namely we are aware we have become incredibly poor inside and – at the same time – self-sufficient and isolated. Deep down we are secretly ashamed of ourselves, because we know that we can fool others, but never Life. Consequently we have a ( motivated or not ) very low self-esteem – that is why we hide and don´t socialize. We are afraid the other will see through our emptiness and unworthiness.
Ce e nefericirea?
2011/05/28 Leave a comment
Nefericirea inseamna pierderea contactului cu clipa prezenta.
Acest contact pierdut cu clipa e inlocuit de gindire.
Hai sa fim sinceri, cind am fost/suntem fericiti gindim?… Nu cumva gindirea insasi perpetueaza absenta si duce la nefericire?
Se pare ca gindirea nu poate exista decit inauntrul unui conflict, ea este insasi incercarea de a rezolva un conflict, ea este lipsa anuntata.
Cu cit mai nefericit, cu atit mai multe ginduri…Uita-te in jur cu atentie, citi dintre oamenii pe care-i observi sunt prezenti?…
Primul pas spre o stare interioara imbunatatita, este sa-ti urmaresti gindurile, sa nu le mai dai intíietate. Sa nu te mai identifici cu ele. Sa spui un NU decis acestei inertii, spunindu-ti tie DA oprind aceasta negativitate. TU nu esti gindurile tale.
Solutiile viabile vin atunci cind negativitatea incepe sa-si piarda intíietatea, si mintea incepe sa se linisteasca.
Cind mintea e linistita, te reconectezi la clipa prezenta, la adevarata ta identitate.
Procesul este extrem de insidios. Iti trebuie o vointa si vigilenta enorma de a nu te (mai) identifica cu aceste fantome mentale, care apar ca un simplu gind inocent, ca apoi sa devina distorsiuni si disonante mental-emotionale care ne guverneaza, ne fura si ne otravesc viata.
Toate disfunctiile, problemele si bolile isi au originea in acest proces mental.
“Obisnuinta” inseamna identificare cu vechiul, reiterarea (constienta si inconstienta) a acestor pattern-uri mentale. In consecinta, noi cunoastem in genere numai ce e vechi, nu-i asa? Gindirea nu poate fi niciodata noua.
Gindim, deci traim “vechi”, desi, desigur, fugim frenetic dupa “nou” care nu e decit un vechi reinnoit…
Secunda e vesnic noua, dar n-o sa stim asta decit daca ne eliberam prin intelegere din conditionarea gindirii.
Nu ma crede pe cuvint, ci verifica din propria ta experienta daca ce zic aici ti se pare “cunoscut”.
