Gabriela:
Indeed, we have created the ideal. But now it all depends on what Ideal means to each human being. I saw ideal as a goal, as a worthwhile higher aim to strive for. This however, does not deny each and everyone´s need for more.
Me:
Truth can never be an “ideal”, that is, it can never be “relativized” – though this is what we assume all the time: “it depends on what Ideal means to each human being”.
With other words, you claim that everyone is free and has the right to imagine anything.
Escaping Life, is manifested in myriad forms and expressions, but escaping – that is,
fear – remains one and the same for all.
I am not necessarily pointing here to factual reality – man needs food, shelter, etc. – but to the psychological state of things.
This inner need “for more” is ideal – can you lucidly see this?
The yearning for “more” – that is to acquire, to accumulate knowledge or money, to be someone, to have a name, to be or not to be something – implies escaping What is. This obsessive search for safety, which itself is generated by fear, is desire seeking fulfillment. Craving for “more” is Ego in its eternal discontent.
“More” is the derivative of dissatisfaction, isn´t it quite clear?
Just ponder:
You must for sure have had moments of great fulfillment, moments in which “more”
or “less” was superfluous. You weren´t searching anymore, as you were deeply satisfied.
You were Blissful in those moments of deep contentment. For sure, Bliss is Presence, presence which is a mighty Joy, an unwavering Peace.
This presence does not belong to becoming, projection or future. Becoming and achieving in time is subterfuge, it is escaping into our own image, never the truth – the Bliss – we are talking about.

Some people probably know from birth what their bliss is.
Others?… Experience tells them…
I just fell into mine through trial and error.
Me:
Good point: trial and error. It goes for me too.
The severe teacher…
I don´t trust experience though.
When experience ceases, inspiration replaces it.
jjwalters:
What about inspiration based on experience?
Me:
Experience is always old. It entails a sum of yesterdays,
a sum of repetitions, a sum of memories…Memory creates habit,
and habit – which basically is resistance to whatever
new – leads inevitably to fear…
Utterly speaking experience is fear…
Etymologically, inspiration means Immediate influence of God,
to inhale, to breath in.
Hence, how can inspiration – which is something ever new – can
equate something inevitably old?

Remember only this:
Learn to recognize love. It is not easy, as very few love in this world. But Love is your breath.
So Breath!…
Love is sparkling joy, beauty, trust, peace, equilibrium.
Where there is Love there is perfection. There is nothing to wait.
YOU NEED TO RECOGNIZE THIS PERFECTION NOW!!!
This very moment. Second by second!
Where there is not love there is doubt, choice, sorrow, pain, disturbance, suffering.
Where there is Love, there is harmony, balance, appreciation, bliss.
FOLLOW THIS BLISS.
Learn to recognize it!
