The ultimate meaning in life
2013/05/30 Leave a comment
Sometimes I write things – like this post – which seem uncommon even to me, and first long after, I find that those words actually show to be quite meaningful. So here I reblog it.
Only the idea of separation sponsors the thought that we can search for ourselves.
I am “this” but try to become “that”. Separation is the distance between “the one I am now” and “the other” I am hardly trying to become; this idea is the beginning of all pain and inner conflict.
I am not satisfied with me now, so I’m looking for myself. This search presupposes the idea of time, right? But we cannot find ourselves “”in” or “through” time, but through IMMEDIATE FEELING AND ACCEPTING OF WHAT IT IS, AND WHAT WE ARE NOW, in this very moment.
I repeat:
Time is the distance between you now, and the “better” version of yourself in the “future”, some kind of ideal self. This “ideal-self” is pure escapism, as it exists only on an imaginary level.
Without the idea of distance between “different” aspects of yourself, Time would not exist. If there is no time, there would be no suffering, or vice versa, if suffering didn´t exist, there wouldn´t be any…

Whatever we see is our creation

I feel almost compelled to reblog this post, as it touches the core of the problem as to why this present society looks the way it does.
We create our reality.
I am aware that to the average skeptical mind this statement may sound flat and totally unfounded.
The gravity of this issue requires a serious thorough approach hardly possible to put in few words, yet I will do my best to make my point in few coherent lines :
Most of us are afraid to look within, because investigating what´s inside of us is a big threat, and indeed, starting this inner journey is undertaking a big risk as we never know what we may find in there – what we may be and become.
The equation is quite simple: due to conformity and intellectual laziness, we refuse to delve inside, so we give the responsibility of our life to others. We let them decide for us, choose for us, take care of us.
It is quite clear, that when you shun your inner responsiblity expecting others…

What happened to music today?

“It went from love to screw! How can we say that music is for all, when it only talks about sex! Every song has only one thing in mind. People have stopped falling in love, and all they want to do is give head and lick tail no one wants to have a fulfilling and lasting relationship. Why?… What ever happened to love songs?
No one wants to sing with meaning any more all they want to sing about is fake people doing fake things and stuff that me or you don’t want to hear about – some things are meant to be private; why would you sing about getting head or money that you don’t have! Sometimes the singer these days is so stupid (…) never hearing any song of substance, why they can’t hold a note to the one’s that came before them!”

Can you trust what makes you glad?

“The voice we should listen to most, as we choose a vocation, is the voice that we might think we should listen to least, and that is the voice of our own gladness.
What can we do that makes us the gladdest? What can we do that leaves us with the strongest sense of sailing true north?
Is it making things with our hands out of wood or stone or paint or canvas?” Or is it making something we hope like truth out of words? Or is it making people laugh or weep in a way that cleanses their spirit?
I believe that if it is a thing that makes us truly glad, then it is a good thing, and it is our thing, and it is the calling voice that we were made to answer with our lives.”
