Folding my new clothes.

I am very careful about my new t-shirt, my new clothes, I take very good care of them, I feel so good in them.

When i dress in something new, i feel new, a new me.

But isn’t it strange? how we act towards the new things, we also act towards people and everything around us?

How beautiful is a relationship in the beginning? You pay a lot of attention, make tremendous sacrifices, for the other person. She/he is like a new t-shirt, the moment you feel you it s getting old , You start paying less attention, when you wear it, when you fold it.

The same you are doing towards your partner and people around you.

Sometimes we take for granted what we have and we need certain practices, or some time away form them, to remind us what we are grateful for.

I think is very important for you to “get bored” out of something, it gives you time and detachment towards that. It makes you question the need, or benefits of something you have in your life.

Sometimes I find myself disconnected, sometimes I get lost into this society. Back into work, making money, having the same mentality as everybody else. In this competition of who gathers more. I become the person that i want to change. 

I question yoga and the practices. I question spirituality and the necessity of it. I question everything. I am not sure anymore of anything in my life.

Now this is a time for contemplation. It is a time for you to analyze. From an detached point of view. Your position. Your place and mentality here now, your needs.

This happens even with the love of your life. You have days when you look at that person and you ask yourself. How did a get here? With this person? It is like i have no feelings for my partner anymore.

Does it mean you need to pack your things and go? Cheat? Or just give it some time and settle back…?

I look at myself and compare it with my former self. I see someone more focused. More energized. Less anxious, more self-love. I see strength. And everything is because of this practices. Sometimes you get less attached to spirituality, because you need more attention to what happens around you. You need to reevaluate your path, the things you appreciate. And why not?… some goals that you’re not very attached to. A direction.

I realize I am human. And I have a human experience. Why would I act like a god and why would I need godly powers?

In an advertise, for yoga, it was written something like “Come and explore this technology that will transform you from ordinary to extra-ordinary. Yoga”

People where coming and after a few days they where telling their master “I don’t feel extraordinary at all.”

The master laugh and said “Well, you got it wrong, I meant I ll make you more ordinary, extra ordinary. Because that’s how you need to be. Only from that place you can appreciate life.”

Why do you want to be superior? Superior to others? What kind of sick person and mentality wants to be superior to someone? Why enjoying the suffering of others?

Don t you find this is sick?

This happens everyday especially in schools, bullying. People are so frustrated that in their frustration they are less concerned on them, but they want others to suffer and they to be good. And not only in schools, in many works environment and social activities.

There are people enjoying listening to other people, about their pain. Because they feel power.”I am better.”

I don t know how a part of society fall into this direction. But it has to do with the herd effect. They trust less on themselves and their only way of feeling better is trough  the pain of others.

There is a beautiful story about  a time when every human being was a god. An old legend says there was a time when all men were gods, but they so abused their divinity that Brahma, the chief god, decided to take it away from them and hide it where it could never be found

Where to hide their divinity was the question. So Brahma called a council of the gods to help him decide.

“Let’s bury it deep in the earth,” said the gods. But Brahma answered,

 “No, that will not do because humans will dig into the earth and find it.”

Then the gods said, “Let’s sink it in the deepest ocean.” But Brahma said

“No, not there, for they will learn to dive into the ocean and will find it.”

Then the gods said, “Let’s take it to the top of the highest mountain and hide it there.” But once again Brahma replied,

“No, that will not do either, because they will eventually climb every mountain and once again take up their divinity.”

Then the gods gave up and said, “We do not know where to hide it, because it seems that there is no place on earth or in the sea that human beings will not eventually reach.”

Brahma thought for a long time and then said, “Here is what we will do. We will hide their divinity deep in the center of their own being, for humans will never think to look for it there.”

All the gods agreed that this was the perfect hiding place, and the deed was done. And since that time humans have been going up and down the earth, digging, diving, climbing, and exploring–searching for something already within themselves.

Now your divinity should not really be a goal. You don’t want that power so you can use them and be better then others. It is the lack of wishing that actually grants your wish.

Only those who are worthy will tap into their divinity. You don t use this to brag. They will be given to you the moment you don t need them, the moment you are extra-ordinary. The moment when who you are, and what you have is perfect and you don t need anything anymore.

The universe is acting like god, god acts like you.    

When you see a beggar asking for something. Sometimes you give them.

Now imagine this scenery.

If the beggar is looking at what you give and makes a funny face as…“you could give more…” your instinct is to get angry and take everything he already has. Ungrateful

If he says “wow this is enough thank you” he raises and walks away because he only needed a little. You want to run after him and give him more. Grateful

When you are in a grateful state, you will naturally just get more.

Yoga is and will be no matter how detached i will feel sometimes. The best practices for me to appreciate life and better myself. The more attention i pay, the more i know, and the more discipline i get, the more is offered.

People just want to be happy without knowing what happiness is to them. They need somebody to point out the things that brings happiness in their life, because they on their own they don t have time to do this. They are so busy with life 🙂 .

Their happiness is provided by watching commercials on TV, seeing yachts and sea and some smiling faces, Yes that must be happiness.

But those people are actors, and normally it includes champagne, drugs and prostitutes for them to alter their reality, because  it seems they have reached a high level of richness but they are not happy. So in their frustration they have to do something anything, to alter their reality.

The moment you will be blissful you need no alcohol, drugs, or going out partying. Just sitting and walking, and being is more than enough. You don t feel the need of doing anything to reality because is so beautiful to just be focus and to pay attention to everything.

How much time do you spend daily trying to know what is happiness to you?

Driving an over expensive car, that must be happiness.

Most of us are trying to accumulate more and more, to cover the less and less we feel inside. We try to figure out the whole world, but never the universe inside of us. Such a big task!

After 5 years of working and wishing they finally buy a Maserati. Such an amazing day, and week, and slowly, slowly the happiness from that thing fades away. And it fades away because you need a car, and it s nice to have some gadgets inside, but an over expensive car is not your dream, is  somebody else idea of a dream.

We need people to tell us how lucky they are, and what a beautiful car we own. We have to brag for everything we are doing or having. Because what we think is not enough.

If everybody could afford the things  we buy, suddenly we lose all interest on all material things.

Just imagine you can have everything you wish for materially, you will come to a moment you have experienced all, and your next step will be looking inwards. So why don ‘t start now?

So is that happiness?

If you had bought a 10 000 euros Chanel Bag and the next day everyone had that bag, you would be very unhappy.

So your happiness is mostly based on the misfortune of others, on bragging. Because everything you like has to be approved by others.

When you get a girlfriend everyone has to approve, only your own decision is not enough.

So how can you expect to gain freedom and be happy on your own, if for everything you do, you need social approval?

People they want to be ecstatic, but they don’t know how an ecstatic person looks like.

Did you ever seen a person running naked, screaming on the street? Drunk, full of life and adrenaline?

Well that is how ecstatic looks ! Do you want to be like that?

No! You want to be happy, but to be admired by everyone else. You want people to envy you. Even with the price of sacrificing your happiness, the opinion of others is more important to you.

So happiness for you is a very strange concept that you, you don t know what it is but you want it!

Did you veer saw a person just start hugging every tree, kissing grass talking with birds, sleeping outside, the whole world is his home. Talking with ants, crying over a falling leaf?

Now you want that kind of ecstasy, but you don t want to look like that, what would people tell? They are going to think I m crazy!         

This is how ecstasy looks like, you would think he is mentally insane, but this is how a person ecstatic looks like.

Don’t ask for something, anything that even you didn’t try to define it first, meditating on it, do you really need it, how is going to affect your life?

You want to be ecstatic but too look normal, you want to be totally free, but not look ridiculous, you are still trying to define yourself trough the eyes of other.

You are still trying to prove your feelings to other, you have no freedom.

You, that thing, you define as you, is actually defined by others. You don t define yourself, so how can you expect to achieve happiness if you are 100% dependent on other?

Your whole happiness is defined by others, everybody has to make you happy, if not your partner has to make you happy, happy for you is something that has to be brought from outside. But thee are times, no matter how much they try it is never enough for you. You should know and feel by now happiness is a state of mind, and it comes from inside.

So what do you want? How much time you spend analyzing your wishes? How much time are you involved in acquiring this happiness? How much time you contemplate on what you already have?

Look at children screaming and running around, very exhausting to be ecstatic all the time. They run in circles for 30 min, and after they have to stop and breath, or sleep. When you are bliss’ed out you don t need anything,you just sit, and enjoy, nothing, enjoying nothing :)) just watching,observing, smiling on your own, you and your mind, you and your ego, is like a whole cosmos of personalities inside your brain, like a council gathered 24h a day, for your betterment. And you are the ruler, you are the one who takes the decisions over everything. You are the god over your universe.

Buddha was blissful all day long. He didn’t jump and run, scream or danced naked, he was just filled by calmness. He had a feeling that everything is how it is supposed to be, everything is good. A slight smile on his face. He had his moments of ecstasy but a general blissful state.

Now Buddha is state of mind, like Lama’s and Jesus’s and Mohamed. These are just human possibilities you may acquire using different techniques, you cannot become them, you become like them, in that state of existence.

You can become rich and happy in matters of seconds. Your happiness is a thought distance. You just have to order it for free. You just have to be capable to cultivate your own mind, own thoughts.

Going on a vacation is just a state of mind. When you say that you take all responsibility of your shoulders, you dance and act like nobody knows you, you don t care about appearances anymore. Nobody knows you, you can become whatever you want. Your mind is set on enjoyment. You are just free, from all social pressure, from all your thoughts and consciousness.

For a time you give yourself a break, a free pass to enjoy anything without feeling guilty about it.

It should be like this everyday.

Why do you have to go anywhere to do this? SO it is basically just a lack of freedom that you are trying to achieve.

Don’t blame your mind for what is thinking, blame yourself for what you are feeding it.

If you read every day inspirational books, go to nature eat healthy be honest, surround yourself by wonderful people your life is heaven.

But just try to analyze what are your habits? Are they against your wishes? Are you postponing things? Are you postponing your present happiness for that thing you assume is going to make you happy in the future.

You are constantly planning the future. Not realizing that the only thing you are always living is the present. This is the only thing you have on a daily basis.NOW

How can you be so arrogant thinking that your future self, you from the future, will enjoy a wife, children or a home, when your life can change drastically in a matter of seconds.

If now you will know you would live only for 2 years or 1 month or 1 day, your whole life will change.

But you think you are immortal, you will live like anybody else until a certain age. You refuse to think you will die.

Why do you wish for things, when you are not even sure what you want for?

You wish for a boyfriend. You get one, but then the boyfriend is annoying you.

You ask for another boyfriend which is charming and smart, but then he cheats on you. Again you ask for something else.

So the universe provides for everything you ask. But he fills the small details with something you didn t think about, just to balance it.

The universe is showing you that everything you have is already enough. You are already accomplished and good, you are just so blind to see it. 

The only thing you can do is, totally give yourself to the present, to now, this is the only thing you can manipulate, this is the only thing you are living.

This is all you have!

Yoga is a mean to make you realize this, is a technique that will make you rich in the present. Yoga is a freedom for your mind and body. You just have to let it go, to allow for things to happen. To observe and understand.

Billions of people are trying what you are trying every day, accumulate, is a contest you cannot win.

And how come is only a small percentage of people that are enlightened, enjoying this life, just a few the most rich on the planet, just a few that have nothing and feel amazing?

Probably they did something different than you. Instead of following the herd, be yourself.

I promise you there is another herd 🙂 waiting for you, with an open mind and soul. Appreciating you more than the most richest or smartest person  on earth. Because their love is not conditioned by what you accumulate.

They understand that who you are and what you can do, nobody else on earth can do that, and your uniqueness is what makes you extraordinary. And that is the only fantastic thing that matters.

My whole paying attention to nutrition came once I understood that the terrible skin problems and acne I have on my body are due liver failure and digestion problems.

Just because 1.5 months I have been on a diet no alcohol-no meat-no smoking- and partially no desserts, I have noticed an increase energy, my body was getting more rested, I felt less anxious and my frustrating skin problems are starting to heal after trying different strong medicine that was constantly destroying my immunity.

So I paid more and more attention on what I eat, I still have a lot to learn but the small improvements that I did in my life have such tremendous effects that it’s an effective beginning. Explore thedentalspecialtycenter.com to learn dentist’s recommendations on this issue.

It all started by “eating a small salad before your main course increases the number of enzymes and helps breaking down food and with digestion” a piece of information that I gathered I don t know where.

Since today I didn’t pay any attention but to contradict a person very dear to me, I had to go deeper.

*So ego is a very good friend, stop blaming it for everything ugly that you do, he is the reason why sometimes, or most of the time you evolve. People want to destroy the ego and do nasty things to it, well that is their problems, we know aggressivity is never the answer. You say the ego is talking and puts thoughts in your mind, but you don t have to follow them, you know better. If a child is telling you to jump from a building, would you do it? So the same is the ego, he can be pretty cute and imaginative but not necessarily right. But let’s go back to our story …*

SO what are enzymes and what is their role in nutrition?

Nutrition is the ability to metabolize food. Nutrition is the body ability to use and metabolize food. There are 45 known essential nutrients that are required in specific amounts for the body to function properly.

They are called essential because the body cannot synthesize them internally, so they have to come from outside sources. So you need carbohydrates, complete proteins, minerals, vitamins, water for the body to function.

Now once you consume a food, that food containing nutrients must be digested, broken into pieces and reduced to a state from which they can be absorbed and transported into blood stream to all parts of the body.

Our body’s cells are programmed to direct each nutrient to combine and interact with other nutrients and chemicals to create still other chemicals and compounds which, in turn, are used to build and repair the body’s cells, bones, tissue, and organs. The process is called metabolism.
Each metabolic reaction is started, controlled, and terminated by enzymes.

Without enzymes, no metabolic activity will occur. A body that does not consistently and efficiently metabolize the essential food nutrients necessary cannot maintain optimum health.

What are the types of enzymes?
Enzymes are classified into three categories.

• DIGESTIVE ENZYMES
• FOOD ENZYMES
• METABOLIC ENZYMES

Metabolic enzymes run the body. They exist throughout the body in the organs, the bones, the blood, and inside the cells themselves. These enzymes are instrumental in the growth of new cells and the maintenance of all tissue. Every organ and tissue has its own group of specialized enzymes. They are trained to run and maintain their host. When these enzymes are healthy, robust, and present in adequate numbers, they do an excellent job carrying out their mission.

The two kinds of enzymes we are concentrating on here are DIGESTIVE ENZYMES and FOOD ENZYMES. These two are active only within our digestive system. These enzymes have one main job — to digest our food.

DIGESTIVE ENZYMES are made by our body’s organs. Digestive enzymes are secreted by the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, and the small intestine. [Technically, digestive enzymes are also considered to be metabolic enzymes whose metabolic role is to digest food. We are specifically distinguishing these particular enzymes here, because they deal with digestion and they can be supplemented from an outside source.] You should take special care of your intestine health to prevent some serious medical conditions that can result in surgery. Ostomy support from Stealth Belt helps to return to normal life after surgery and ensures a comfortable fit that you can rely on.

FOOD ENZYMES are already present WITHIN the food we eat. Food enzymes exist naturally in raw food. If the food is cooked, however, the high temperature involved in the cooking process will destroy the enzymes.

Digestive enzymes and food enzymes basically serve the same function, which is to digest our food so it can be absorbed through the walls of the small intestine into the blood stream. From this viewpoint the only real difference between food enzymes and digestive enzymes is whether they come from inside our body or from the food we eat.

Why are digestive enzymes so important for digestion?
Most food, when it is uncooked, contains enough natural food enzymes to digest that food. When you cook the food the enzymes are inactivated (denatured) and can no longer assist in the digestive (breaking down) process. Eating raw food is totally acceptable in some cases and quite unacceptable in others. We eat raw fruit and many raw vegetables, but less often do we eat raw meat, raw fish (not withstanding sushi), or raw pork. Eating uncooked rice is nearly a guaranteed trip to your dentist! So, obviously we cook our food.

Here’s where the problem occurs. Cooked food contains no enzymes because they have been destroyed. If you eat a meal consisting of a salad, a steak and a baked potato, there are likely enough food enzymes contained in the salad to digest it (break it down so your body can use its nutrients). But, there are no extra enzymes available to help digest the steak or the baked potato. Because the steak and potato are cooked, there are no FOOD ENZYMES available to digest them, so our body must take over and internally create the needed amount of DIGESTIVE ENZYMES to handle the digestive task.

Now this is a very important matter. The energy you consume on digestion.

The more we depend on our internally generated DIGESTIVE ENZYMES, the more stress we put on our body’s systems and organs and the less time these systems and organs have for rebuilding and replacing worn out and damaged cells and tissue and keeping our immune system strong. Your body’s top priority is making sure it has enough nutrients to run its systems. This means digesting food and converting it into nutrients. There is no activity more important to the body than this. This takes a lot of energy and enzymes, particularly if the body must make most or all of these enzymes. Remember that no food can be digested without digestive enzymes.

Dr. DicQie Fuller, in her book The Healing Power of Enzymes, emphasizes the importance of enzymes for digestion:

“Eighty percent of our body’s energy is expended by the digestive process. If you are run down, under stress, living in a very hot or very cold climate, pregnant, or are a frequent air traveler, then enormous quantities of extra enzymes are required by your body. Because our entire system functions through enzymatic action, we must supplement our enzymes. Aging deprives us of our ability to produce necessary enzymes. The medical profession tells us that all disease is due to a lack or imbalance of enzymes. Our very lives are dependent upon them!”

Now this is a very true and strong statement. Since at least 20% of the energy is consumed by the brain and another 80% on the digestion, during these time your organs are not protected. They are not properly taking care of. SO it is not only wrong to eat meat because you are hurting someone in the process of your eating, but also it takes tremendous effort for the digestive system to break down all the proteins and nutrients, and also a lot of enzymes from your body since, the meat is cooked and bring no enzymes with it.

I want you to realize there is a documentary about the evolution of human kind. Humans have started developing intelligence and a bigger brain the moment they have “discovered” fire. Because in that moment they started “Cooking the meat” before they eat it, it is like they start having 2 stomachs. So the stomach shrink and the brain has grown.

Just using the energy on something else than digestion, had increase the capability of your brain. Now imagine if all organs are increasing their capacity, we could talk of longer span life, more enjoyment. All yoga is doing, is making understand all the body function so you can efficiently use this body and life in your own betterment.

Not only this but most of our great minds where vegetarians:

Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Nikolai Tesla, Leonardo da Vinci, Sir Isac Newton, Srinivasa Ramanujan, one of the greatest mathematicians of the past 1,000 years

I wonder why…

Which digestive enzymes digest food?

You know that proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are the three main food groups that make up the bulk of our daily diet. A “balanced” diet means we consume the proper proportions of these three basic food groups on a daily basis. This balance, when combined with the assurance that we also get the essential nutrients, can help provide a healthy life — IF we properly process and metabolize these nutrients. To do this we also need an adequate source of the major types of digestive enzymes: Proteases, Amylases, and Lipases.

Do I have an infinite supply of digestive enzymes?
No. Until recently, many within the scientific community labored under the misconception that the digestive enzymes in our body are constant and last forever; that they can be used and reused; that they never get old and never wear out.

Researchers now know that we lose digestive enzymes through sweat and body waste. Through constant use, enzymes lose their strength and ability to do their work. As we age, the organs responsible for producing our digestive enzymes become less efficient. Today’s environmental pollution, overly processed fast foods, genetically modified food, and microwave cooking can result in free radical damage, which lowers the body’s effectiveness to produce enzymes. To offset this loss, we need to supplement our system with oral digestive enzymes.

What happens when we start to run low on enzymes?
Proper amounts of enzymes are a key part of optimum health. DIGESTIVE ENZYMES are needed to properly digest and metabolize nutrients.

When our body is stressed by a shortage of digestive enzymes two things can happen and both are bad:

1. Our body continues to work overtime to create the needed enzymes required to digest our food. This extra stress adversely affects our immune system and lowers our ability to protect ourselves from and fight off disease.
2. Because our body finally becomes so overworked, it can’t make enough enzymes to properly digest our food. As this undigested food begins to pollute our body, the chances of chronic disease increase.

Supplemental digestive enzymes will deliver the necessary nutrients to fortify your body and can enhance your body’s healing system often resulting in improved overall health and vitality.

We always put ourselves in some kind of experiences in order to know more about ourselves, the self. The truth and the most scary thing is that we don t know nothing about ourselves, so in this confusion, it s easier to know anything about someone else, or anything that we think it s outside of us.

During an experience I realized that everyone around me is just another individual of consciousness experimenting itself.

I am just a possibility of existence, born and grow in different circumstances than others.

At a fundamental level we are all the same, we are all coming from the same place and finally going to the same place.

So the truth is, you cannot judge anyone, because that person which you are judging is just another form of you. All the Judging you are doing should come to an understanding. Understanding is the only thing will release you, from that habit.

It gets even deeper when you realize that actually, the person next to you is only one self, experimenting itself. So it is actually you, you having a different gender, different life and different mentality.

It is like there is only one person, in the whole universe, living infinitely in different forms of existence, of life.

You are an elephant, a human, an alien a planet, the sun, a stone everything in the same time, all interacting with each other.

What you experience as reality, as this life, for your soul, is really just like a wind, on a sunny day, passing having a short impact on everything and then moving to something else.

But it would never be as deep as this, knowing you have infinite amount of time to deal with it. So you have to suffer a memory loss, in order to be totally focused and give your full attention to life, here, now, to the present moment. Believing this is the reality you have to handle right now.

And how to handle life?

Handle everything with grace, precaution, be mindful about your steps and soft. Instead of thinking what is the right thing? ask yourself what is the thing that bring peace. Because what is right will always change…

Be more conscious about your choices

One of the main causes why you cannot enjoy life to its fullest is because you have forgot something. You have forgotten to pay attention to everything like it is the first time you see it or experiencing it.

Now when you see a tree, you think “Oh is just a tree, I have seen so many.” And you are neglecting a very unique tree, without knowing anything about it.

You are more preoccupied to plan and create a comfortable environment for your future self “What will samy of the future enjoy, how can I make his days more pleasant? A nice car, good bed, nice job etc”

But who do you think you are to know what your future self will like? Will need? And in what kind of circumstances you will end?

So you are so consumed of creating a future, planning, and thinking of the infinite possibility of enjoyment, that you actually forget, that the only thing you are living always, is the present, and you pay no attention to it.

Now if you are not paying sufficient attention to something your existence is questionable.

If it where for you to be in a coma, having no connection to your sensors, being blind, deaf, paralyzed, feeling no taste or smell, how do you know you exist?

Is like being in a deep sleep, if you are unconscious, you don t exist. If there is no memory of you, you feel very confused, like your life has just started now, and there is no past and probably no future.

Now being a child you were totally absorbed of everything, everything was new, and you had no concept of time.

I smile now when I say to my nephew “see you in 2 weeks”, and he is like “How many nights do I have to sleep until next time?”

Now the moments you start thinking like this, your thought process is starting to create problems in your life. Because you don t enjoy the present anymore, you are postponing a percentage of your attention and enjoyment in the future. You are expecting things, like you are entitled to them.

And this kind of attitude creates most of our problems, we think we have the right to request for things. Nothing you have, where not given by someone else. Your body your mind, everything was given, now people make you to sign a paper and you become an owner of something. But it s just for a time, it is not yours, and it was never theirs to give.

But let’s go back to our “problems”

“With one eye on the goal, there is only one eye left on enjoyment”. So some part of the brain is blocked for future use. Is like saying you will use until next week only one hand, or one eye to manage your life.

This would not be a problem if that is the only full capacity you possess, because you get used with it. But you can only manage a small percentage of life.

And as you get used with it, you lose an important aspect of your life.

Everything you experience trough the senses, is in duality, comparing. Now you don t want to experience fear? How can you experience and enjoy comfort, security?

If there was no sorrow, happiness will lose an important side of intensity.

You are human and life is about ups and downs, sometimes you are hungry, sometimes you are full, sometimes in love, sometimes in sorrow.

Life is beautiful just because there is this mix of feelings.

Denying any of them you are denying your humanity, and this will create problems. It is like trying to be something else that you are, one day or another your true face will show.

Saying you are not hungry, when you are, like it or not, you need food, denying it will not make it better, it would just damage your system.

So make peace with what you are, and make small changes towards betterment each day. Replace the thing you don’t like about you with the things you admire in others.

Because if you are something, you are anything you like to become. You can be whatever you want.

“In this life you are nothing, you chose to be something, but that something can always change. This does not mean that once you have chosen something you became that thing forever, it just means where your attention goes, that is what you become, even for a short period of time.

You saying you are something in this life, is like sitting on a stone, if you sit on a stone sufficient time, after a while you will think you are that stone also. This is false, you may own that stone, become that stone but you are never a stone. Like this is with the body, you are occupying a body but you are not the body, you are not your job, and you are not fat. You are that thing that you cannot separate, that cannot be divided.

And there is only one thing which is that, your attention, your focus. If you lose that, you lose who you are, you lose any proof of your existence. When you pay attention to nothing then where are you?

Because when this happens, society will classify you as dead.”

So your only purpose of life should be enhancing this focus, this attention, and create an even deeper gap of the idea of who you really are. Until you reach the point of something that cannot be divided.

And that thing, cannot be touched. It can only be transferred.

Feeling alive is about feeling, everything more intense, you can only feel the intensity of one thing, paying tremendous attention to that. Be absorbed by that action, or feeling.

Is like getting a massage and you are playing on your phone. When you get a massage, you stop everything and concentrate all your attention on that touch and how it feels. On breathing and feeling.

Why would life be any different that this? 

 During my last experience I learn 2 very important things. One is how consuming it is to keep a false image of yourself and the second how we always ignore the bad stuff, the negative things in life instead of using them.

What is stopping you from being free most of the time is the idea that you create about yourself, the idea that you are trying to sell to everyone.

That Facebook image, where you are so perfect in every single point, no defects.

A dear person to me, had a big party not too long ago, in the morning she was a total mess, almost in tears telling me:

“Why do I feel like this, why do I do the same mistakes over and over again, it s like I never learn…”

So I was trying to push her in the direction of the true answer.

“So what happened? you seem to have fun last night, dancing long hours, nice discussions, why the guilt?… of course you are going to feel awful physically but that is no reason to feel like that. ”

Finally, after some time she had come to the conclusion that is not about the night, it s about the image she so hardly built and in one night everything was ruined.

But I had to continue “You mean the false image, that office girl, into sports, reading, always doing only the good stuff, eating healthy, that person that everyone tries to become, that perfect woman, that idea that you are better than everyone.

We all know that is not true, you know that too, you know you are lonely, you know you need attention, you know you do mistakes, you know that there is so much shit going to your life, that you will feel very vulnerable making this public. Ohh that image :)”

We all pretend to be something we are not, and we do it so hard, working hard every day, keeping that false image, so people can look up to us, respect us, like us, so we can be part of this society. People are to scare of being alone.

The truth is you are building this image, just because, what you are inside is not enough, you feel like empty, you feel no passion about life, you feel you don’t really know who you are and you need somebody from the outside to make you feel good, because you’re not capable on yourself.

So this is the problem you should address, trying to know more about you, rather than spending years trying to be something else, impressing others.

This life is about your enjoyment, not pleasing others.

So happiness, true happiness, not the one you put on Facebook and publicly, true full happiness will never happened until you are honest with yourself.

Start from the bottom, admit you are stupid, you are weak, you are human, sometimes you don t know how to act, what to do, accept your fears, and then start doing something about them.

This is the moment you gain some freedom, when you care about your development and investing in yourself rather than raising to the expectation of others.

There are 2 beautiful story about this kind of experience.

The one is about your freedom and when you know you start being an achieved human being.

In the beginning when you go into a room, full of people,  your first thought coming in your mind is “Will somebody like me?”

Now this is the begging of your life, later on, something changes in the phrase “Will I like somebody?” Because life is not about them, or making them like you, is about you being comfortable in your own skin. This is the moment you start growing.

It is the same way we start relationships 95% of them are all going to the toilet. Every time you meet a person you always showing your good stuff, all the things you are proud of.

“Yes I am an engineer. I have a big Porsche and i own a vacation home in Ibiza. I am such a good athlete, during university I was the first in my class.”

And this conversation goes  on and on, until you finish all the things you can brag about.

Then, silence, and she starts 🙂 …it is like a competition of who is the best and how great they are. Who is dominating.

The problem is that you start wrong, you should start with your bad stuff, and if that person will love you for the worst thing you may have, everything that you will do good will be a bonus.

So start being you, every one of us is human.

The next story is a story that I really come to love…

Sadhguru bullshit joke

(This is a funny joke, often told by Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev to emphasise on the importance of right philosophy)

It once happened, on a certain day, a bull and a pheasant were grazing on the field. The bull was grazing on the grass, the pheasant was picking ticks off the bull; they are partners, you know?

Then the pheasant looked at a huge tree which was at the edge of the field, and very nostalgically said, “Alas, there was a time when I could fly to the top most branch of the tree, but today I do not have the strength in my wings, even to fly to the first branch of the tree”

The bull very nonchalantly said, “That’s no problem! Eat a little bit of my dung every day, you will see, within a fortnight’s time you will reach the top of the tree.”

The pheasant said, “Come on!! What kind of rubbish is that?”

The bull replied, “Really, try it and see. The whole humanity is on it… ”

Very hesitantly, the pheasant started pecking at the dung, and lo, on the very first day it reached the first branch of the tree. In a fortnight’s time, it reached the topmost branch of the tree. It just went and sat on the topmost branch and just enjoyed the scenery. The old farmer saw a fat old pheasant on the top of the tree. He took out his shotgun and shot him off the tree. So the moral of the story is: many times even bullshit can get you to the top, but it never lets you stay there.

So please stop eating shit. You are like us in the same boat, stop acting like you are a god sent here to save us.

Life is beautiful, when you stop thinking shit about yourself. You are what you are, and you’re doing your best to be a better version of yourself, and guess what you are not alone we are all doing the same thing.

So start doing small changes to your life, release yourself of this fake image, and you will see how life will become this easy thing to carry on.

You are just you, and it is amazing, extraordinary, be more confident, pay more attention, fear less.
