Is there such a thing as a second chance? Or are we doomed to an eternal hell?

In one of my conversations with a religious person, I realized that this cannot be true. What I call as God cannot and will never doom any of his creations to hell.

He will give unlimited chances, but everyone will experience the consequences of each action. He gives you the freedom to create anything good or evil, but attached to everything is the consequences of each action, to creates thoughts but also take responsibility over them.

On the other hand is the mind, the whispers, temptation, that are testing you to see how much you treasure something, may that be love, health, God, wealth, peace or ultimately your soul.

The mind is also one of your abilities, powers, that you didn’t yet took control over. So it seems like it s acting on its own, but it is actually being used and programmed by everything that you pay attention to, consciously or unconsciously.

The mind alone takes no action, only suggests. It is you who take, or not, into considerations the suggestions of mind, friends, heart and act upon.

So you will support the consequences of your actions, even thoughts. Because your mind, is your responsibility. How you will educate the mind, what you will allow the mind to experience or taste, that will determine also how the mind will act.

You can see it as a dog, once you are the owner, if it pees you have to clean, if it bites, it is your responsibility, whatever the dog is doing is on you, because you didn’t educate the dog. Same with the mind it s going to do its own thing until you take responsibility for it.

It is your duty to discipline and educate the mind.

When I refer to the soul, many will say it is my soul, well in order to be yours, you had to create it. Nothing is really yours, because if it would have been yours, nobody can take it from you.

You don’t really have a choice, to have or not a soul, a self. You can chose to have or not a mind, a body, a family, possessions.

Somehow you where created, and this is an extraordinary thing. You will exist forever. It is also  in your power, what you will experience, to some extent.

But your existence, is not yet or may never be in your power, for the moment, only your actions are.

As long as someone can take something from you, it does not belong to you. We have a false sense of propriety and belonging, but all this with time will fade away.

Body, propriety, health, mind, relationships, energies, it will all go and you cannot do anything about it, you can prolong it, you can maintain it, but even so, there are forces which are not yet in your control.

In the process of life, your arrogance, all mightiness, “better than everyone else”, immortal,  power, will all fade so you realize you are nothing, and just because you exist it is enough.

Life eventually will make you a pure being, in service which is the highest form of action, not being served, but to serve.

The weak needs to be served, the strong can serve itself and others.

Everything is actually given to you, either to test you, or to learn a lesson from. But you cannot keep anything other than your soul, without which, you cannot be.

The self/soul is also the “place” where you start feeling the presence of God, which is nothing else than your own presence. But this is a place, where you cannot bring the mind, the moment the mind tries to enter this place-state, you have the impression you are leaving this state.

Where you put your attention is where the energies are directed and is what you experience. If you move your attention from presence to mind, you will experience the mind, and it is not a beautiful experience. Presence is formless, while mind is a form. The problem is you are formless and holding a form, keep it for too long and it will cause pain.

Even a prison can be fun, if you know you will only be in the cell for a few hours, just for the experience of it. But knowing you are stuck and you cannot get out for an unlimited amount of time, or a long time, amounts to great pain.

It seems to be like a choice, either be in heaven or in the mind. Sometimes you can experience states in between, while you are trying to be practical in life, manage things, but always return to your soul, to your self and you ll be fine.

In the self, in the “isness”, in the being,  we are all equal and eternal, we are all one, we are all you. If you can use this term as “we are” because there is all acting like a whole, all acting as one, one being all.

You need the mind, or a concept, in order to create separation. As you feel you body, your breath, your mind, your heart, you will also feel everything exists.

In all other cases, you experience something else than you, but in this case you experience yourself.

“You taste the honey and in the same time you are the honey”

Do not be deluded by the mind which will say, if it is me, i should be able to move it or to have some ability, or be able to exercise a power over it.

Your heart, blood, cells ,  liver, neurons, electrons everything is in your body ,  but do you have control over them? Can you tell to 1 neuron to stop?

Can you command your pituitary gland to stop? Or the kidneys to stop or move at your will?

It is working as a car. You have some pedals and a driving wheel, some buttons for comfort, for practicality, you don’t need to hold the car, the suspensions the cables, everything is created so it works as a whole, to take you from a to b.

But they all form you, they are all in service of the one occupying the body.

They help you function as you are now, they are not separated from you, they serve you. But you also have to serve them. 

Just like this, everything applies to all around you, with which you have a relationship, either you are aware of it or not. It is still a relationship, if there would be no relationship, you could not even perceive it, or being perceive by it.

The soul or self is the ultimate destination, destination in the sense, it is not a place where you can arrive, or travel, it is not something you do, it is something you realize, it was always there as part of you, and you cannot be anything else than that.

The purpose of the mind-ego is to keep you separated and deluded by this place “state”, and the farther you are from it, the more the suffering, the further you are from yourself, from your soul, the farther you are from God.

Universe is giving you this freedom, for you to chose, will you be apart from the universe, or part of it?   But even this is an illusion, which is happening only in your belief, in your mind, because you cannot be separated from the self, you are the self, it is just you didn’t realize it.

Once you are separated from the universe, from life 🙂 you are dead.

You are in relationship with everything. Either you like it or not. You can use it or be used by it. Served it or be served by it. And the totality of all, and beyond all, is God.

Being the self and not realizing it, is like looking for food, while caring a bag of food with you, but you don’t know how to eat or what food is.

Looking for something you don’t know, it will take eternity.

“The thing you are looking for, is in the place you are looking from.”

So sometimes this things are showed to you, by the self, your higher self, something you may see, a taught, a disease, a guru a spiritual teacher, or just a nobody in a bus station, unlimited forms of expressions for you to learn.

All the knowledge and abilities are given to you, but are hidden by the mind, so you have to transcend the  limitations of the mind and find out who you really are.

This is why enlightenment is also called realization, you actually don’t learn a new ability or something new, you just realize something that was there all along.

Being hungry, caring a bag of food which never goes bad or empty.

If you just smell the food and bring it next to your mouth you will eat it intuitively. If you feel is causing pain to the body, you will renounce it. If you feel is bringing ease and health, you will continue.

So it is with life, just a learning process, a discovery of the self and everything around you, pointing or sending you back to yourself, all is the self.

Trust it and be it, it takes no effort to be yourself, No mantras or practices, no prayer no process, no distance or time.

You cannot be something else, you can just act, but no act will last forever.

The only thing which is forever is God, is you.

Because of doubt, you brought yourself where you are now, and by doubting the doubt itself, which came from mind, you will get the lesson and arrive home which is no distance from where you stand right now.

This came to me while thinking, if it is ok for a prisoner to experience freedom. There are many masters and spiritual teachers going to prisons, no to free them from their cell, but to free them from their mind.

Some prisoners in their cell, they experience a sense of freedom more than in liberty .So how can a person who robbed, or killed or did I don’t know what, deserve this freedom?

Well because God would never allow anybody to hurt you, because once the soul was created, the soul will be eternal, like God. But because you identify yourself, with something else than the self, with a person, that one day is going to die, you have the impression you will die with the body, if you think you are the body, everything happening to the body you will suffer.

If you think you are the mind, everything the mind is experiencing you will experience. But if you know you are the self, everything is just a passing experience, you are not attached to it.

PERSON= Prosopon (UK: /ˈprɒsəpɒn/,^[1][2] US: /prəˈsoʊpɑːn/;^[3] from Ancient 

Greek: πρόσωπον; plural: Ancient Greek: πρόσωπα prosopa) is a technical term encountered in Christian theology. It is most often translated as “person”, and as such is sometimes confused with hypostasis, which is sometimes also translated as “person.” Prosopon originally meant “face” or “mask” and derives from Greek theatre, in which actors on a stage wore masks to reveal their character and emotional state to the audience. 

So thinking you are a person, is like believing you are superman, if you really are superman, your super power should be at your will. But because you are not, you will suffer all illusions created or imagined, but never experienced how you expected.

So drop the person that you are, the act that is tiring you, discover the original self that you where meant to be.

The mind, devil, or evil forces of darkness can touch only this person, but they can never touch you, the real you, the self.

You may think it is the end of the world, but it is just a lesson, it will pass, you may loose your body in the process, the mind, your abilities of the body, but you may never lose your soul.

So maybe in our perception, only good deserves a chance, but in the eyes of God, everyone deserves all the chances, but they must first endure their doings.

Eventually we will all be in heaven. We will all realize the self.

Because once you identify with your true nature, you can never do wrongs, only when you are a person, every action is contaminated by the mind which is not pure. When you are a person, it is impossible not to contaminate the world with impurity.

Pain and uncomfort will only push you to move from person-hood to divine, because this is the only way to experience peace, going closer not further from life.

Is there good or wrong? Or are they just concepts, which if they not affect you in any harmful way, there are good, if not they are bad.

Is there truth and lie? And is it bad to lie? What is more important telling the truth, or the intention of a lie?

“What is the appropriate thing to do in every situation? This is how life should be lived…” Sadhguru

Paying attention to life and trying to understand each action, will just bring joy and calmness to your life. Once you understand, if there is no other way, you can endure with a smile on your face, if there is another way, manipulate the “rules” of the universe in your own betterment, your own convenience.

“Yoga teaches us to cure what needed not to be endured and endure what cannot be cured.” bks iyengar

……..

One day in Rishikesh, India “the capital of yoga”, a teacher was finishing his class. Now this is a thing that happens on a daily basis, monkeys where gathering at the door steps of the class. Very intrigued by the dozens of shoes lying in front of the room.

When alone, the monkey are peaceful, but sometimes they turn out to be aggressive.

The people in the class where afraid of coming out from the room and they were all looking at their teacher to go first, so he could scare the monkeys away.

Now the teacher knew, that the monkey can turn aggressive and he turning aggressive, himself it will lead to a bad example to class, he was just talking about ahimsa the whole hour.

Ahimsa (Sanskrit: अहिंसा; IAST: ahiṃsā, Pāli:avihiṃsā) is a term meaning ‘compassion’ and ‘not to injure’. The word is derived from the Sanskrit root hiṃs – to strike; hiṃsā is injury or harm, a-hiṃsā is the opposite of this, i.e. cause no injury, do no harm.Ahimsa is also referred to as nonviolence, and it applies to all living beings – including all animals – according to many Indian religions.

Ahimsa is one of the cardinal virtues and an important tenet of 3 major religions (Jainism, Hinduism, and Buddhism). Ahimsa is a multidimensional concept,inspired by the premise that all living beings have the spark of the divine spiritual energy; therefore, to hurt another being is to hurt oneself. Ahimsa has also been related to the notion that any violence has karmic consequences. While ancient scholars of Hinduism pioneered and over time perfected the principles of Ahimsa, the concept reached an extraordinary status in the ethical philosophy of Jainism. Most popularly, Mahatma Gandhi strongly believed in the principle of ahimsa.

But as he was coming out the class the monkeys were in shock and attempted to attack him. He just stood there, and their attempt happened, so they started biting the teacher, people were screaming and come into the rescue of this person.

 People as the monkey where filled with anger and scared about the event that just happened.

But the teacher had an epiphany, he remembered a resembling story about a guy called Jesus, when he was attacked and put to a cross, because he was different in the conception of others, as he was a strange concept to monkeys, and out of fear they decided to kill him.

Now he could never understood the peace on Jesus face and he was apologizing for the acts of these lost people for God to have mercy on them.

The teacher understood that this is happening every day, this is the response of most of beings here on earth, respond to fear with power, destruction.

Destroy that which you don’t understand. He understood that compassion, diplomacy and a certain understanding is needed towards all situation. Because aggressiveness will just build more aggressiveness, but peace will slowly soften the heart of all living beings and slowly build a peaceful world and sometimes ones suffering cannot be avoided in order for others to take a lesson.

He was just smiling with tears in his eyes, raising up, felt that he was actually touched by life, he had a sense of understanding life and the universe, as he was recovering from his shakedown. Because life sometimes give you lessons trough pain.

His further steps were to feed the monkey, every day if possible and make them used with human presence, and treat them as superior, like this they will never feel threatened again. Because he was superior, he had the understanding, he was more aware so it was his duty to raise others. 

…………

Life is full of such events, but when you understand there is a higher purpose to your life than the “difficult” steps that the universe brings in your path, life gets a lot easier.

After all, we really are just spirits occupying a body and every matter has a start and an end.

Live your life purposely, and even if it is for a second a day, act and be what you have been before you were born here, a compassionate living being, be grateful for every moment you exist in this human form and help others to raise with you. Not for them but for you, because is so boring to be the only enlightened person on earth.

Nap, listen to beautiful music, move, think, feel, breath, bath, love, read and try to live your life through the experience of all your senses. And when you start getting tired of them, develop new ones.

The kind of senses where is enough just to stay with your eyes closed, shutting down all other senses, bringing you in a state of peace, comfort, joy and  gets you in touch with your “grandmother”, which is not earth, but the universe itself.      

Waking up in the middle of the night…

A normal person if it wakes up at 2.00 AM would just go back to sleep. There is work to be attended in the morning.

And the thought, if you allow it, can fly in so many direction on this particular theme. Your brain is trained to do whatever you want, or whatever someone else wants. You decide what direction the mind goes, so don’t stop the mind just because you cannot control it. Is like trying to kill every single person on earth just because they are not obeying you.

Is this a real solution!? Make small steps and train your brain to think and do how you say.

The first one is, who has created this habit for the human being to work early in the morning and sleep the whole night?

It seems to me that the night is the moment of the day when you connect more to yourself, your DMT level is so high, that It remembers you, of who you are.

Whatever you have forgotten during the day, the night will remember you. It is the moment where all the magic happens. When you heal yourself, when the mind is calm knowing that nothing can be done, just for you to connect to the divine. This is the moment “God” or The Creator speaks with you.

Just sitting in silence and darkness. Feeling comfortable, like you are at home, you are in the same kind of circumstances than before your creation. This is a familiar place. Meditation should not be more than this, just finding your peace of mind, in stillness, in darkness, in silence, where the mind and everything stops.

Stops and in the same time is vibrating at the highest speed possible.

In all scriptures, stories or myths, the most interesting events happens at night. Why dreaming also, is more lucid, more euphoric, more calm at night? That is for you to search….

The first person in my life who made me realize the power of the night, was Wayne Dyre …

 “When you wake up in the middle of the night, don’t go back to sleep, the night has secrets to whisper you.”

God just chooses to talk to you at night, and don t imagine him speaking, or voices, he is the most abstract of things, he is silence, no sound, in order to see him you have to close your eyes, the most abstract of seeing, is not seeing, darkness. So God is the absence of everything, he is the one that allows the space, the nothingness.

Shiva –Shiv’ah that which is not. Always present, always self-sustainable, there is no need to exist, because how can you define the existence of something which is not, for the mind, there is always something.

Ohh trying to understand infinity, with the mind. This is meditation, so big questions for the brain, that it just prefers to shut itself down.

But I m going off track.

So who wants you to be busy, sleeping, who wants you to be busy in particular, who wants you to forget this, who is not allowing you to understand the infinite potential that exists in you?

And I could not sleep because of this, I had to wake up to talk with someone who is in India. To realize that my soul is not in someone, but in something, in the very thing that awakens people, in the beauty of a thought, that questions one-self, In yoga, in passions, in everything that is human, in nature and in the people who manage to awaken this in other people.

There is where my love goes.

Everything that is trying to put people to sleep, it awakens me from mine. Torments my mind and focuses my attention to either neutralize this or at least bring it to everyone’s attention.

And I woke up reading this article.

7 Toxins Harming Your Brain Right now

The whole society democracy-absolutist-monarchy-republican etc is just a name, like all religions Buddhism – catholic – Hinduism – Taoism – agnostic – orthodox etc  there are all names and hopes, dreams, and incomplete.

They create discussions to keep you busy to fight among ourselves, to keep you distracted from the most basic of things that stands between you and your God-like-awareness. There are all right, there are all perceptions, and you should extract the essence, the best thing of all of them and create your own individual-universal belief system.

They don’t want you to realize who you are.

In every food every product, every cloth, water, air, action that you do, they are trying to add something that is harmful to you. Very small dosages of poison every single day, enough to keep you in a sick state, not too much so you can notice, enough to keep your body busy healing rather than raising its energy and taking you to your full potential.

You are in a numbed state. You are sleepy.

Something that is preventing you from raising your energy and be in a nirvana state all the moments of your life.

To be a realized human being…

Increase your sensibility and awareness. Try reducing this poisoning and this manipulation they are trying to do. Increase your immunity towards external factors. Start bringing more from the inside.

Today I had a discussion with someone telling me “When I will have children I will protect them from all this crappy food, I will feed them only organic.”

And I remember how we force the kinds to eat more than they need, or how every child is refusing to eat, is like they feel something is wrong, they have a sense of perfection in their every act, and food is just a NO to them.

Don’t worry that your child is not eating a “normal children portion” his digestion system is perfect, he is young, his body is healthy not yet poisoned by all the chemicals, he can extract from an apple enough energy that can be used for 1 full day.

Somebody used to say “In 1 square meter of air, there is enough energy to dry all the oceans of the world.”

So if you know how to handle your energies and how to extract them efficiently, you can just sit in one place breathing and that is enough, like a seaweed,

You are a semi-god already. And please don’t disappoint your god, your creator, and start acting like his son, be your own hero, be your own model, be something you are proud of, be an arrangement that sustains life and nature!   

“Once yoga is on! Yoga is never off” R.

Why do we say this? How is this possible?

You hear people say this often “I was doing yoga for 4 years than new job come so no more yoga for 2 years, and now I m back!”… “I am on and off, depends how much time I have…”…”I have periods, sometimes I practice 3-4 times a week, sometimes I take a break for 1 month.”

This is like saying sometimes i take a shower every day, sometimes i take a break from it. Probably you don’t feel it, being so busy, but those around you definitely will start feeling it.

The smell doesn’t come from the body, but from your behavior. It is harder to concentrate, getting stressed to quickly, frustrated and the way you deal with frustration. Paying too much attention to one aspect of your life. Neglecting the others.

You need not only to feed your job or career, even if you love it. Take time to nourish your human needs, social needs, take time for nature, physical activity, meditation.

Most  people see yoga as an asana practice, physical exercises, for them yoga is happening 1-1.5 h per class. After this when the practice is over, yoga is over.

Many times i hear “Back to reality!”. SO what was before? where you dreaming? Wasn’t that as necessary as any other needs of the body-mind?

It is like going for a walk in nature, or seeing some friends, or eating food, after “Back to reality?” which one? If it is reality what you call work, or dealing with people which don’t have the means yet to handle their anger, or personality or frustration, probably it is your way of being that will make them move question their habits.

But it is a big difference, even if only during that particular day. The one you where before and after physically, mentally, even your face is changing.

You reached a certain state of mind, where there is more space, calm and ability to handle situations.

Asana, or the more physical, gross part of yoga practice is just 12.5% of all the practices yoga sums, just one of the 8 limbs of yoga.

Not only this, it is called practice, because after you finish your practice, you go and do the real yoga, and that is life.

Everything you are learning in the practice you bring it in your life and create new habits reprogramming, re-patterning your life.

Yoga is a 24h process. Changes are happening even if you are unconscious of those things. It is something that works, even after you finished the practice.

You may not practice asanas for 1 week, does that mean your yoga is off?

Probably the more Gross effects you feel are reducing, but some things are still on.

Many events of your life becomes a moment of practice. The way you sit, the way you eat, the way you walk. You are trying to see what is working best for the body and how still to indulge some of the pleasures of the body and mind. Balance.

How do I sit? How do I walk? Why do I have pain in the lower back?

Where is the blissfulness in this? It looks like a stressful practice, no break, always doing something.

Use this whenever you feel your mind goes rogue, when you re not having a good time, when you feel bored, when you want to take control over the circumstances that affects your body, only then….. the rest of the time enjoy.

Is it stressful, to feel most of the time good? Is there a possibility, I can feel good,a sense of contentment, all the time?

Yes in the beginning until a habit is formed, it is going to be challenging. But then it becomes who you are… The outcome of your practice…

You will experience moments in your life of bliss, satisfaction. When the mind goes like “Ohh I feel so good. My range of motion is incredible. That food was amazing for my body. I chose to end this relationship, I am aware I chose it for the wrong reasons. I am strong, I feel I can breathe and I have space in my body… ”

And sometimes the mind just go “……………………”

Silence, you don t think, you are just aware that you are happy, content, blissful, in love of yourself and you either close your eyes to feel it to the maximum, or continue what you are doing.

When the state passes, go back to practice: how is my back? what do I have to plan? what to do? how am I breathing, should I rest? Am i postponing something out of laziness?

Yoga is a life style, it doesn’t have to be the best one, but at least you start making conscious choices. You are the master of this machine, called human body, you are the one in charge.

Yoga has brought some of my life back into my hands, i become less of a victim of the circumstances outside my control, less affected by the things that would normally bring my energy down. I create some of the circumstances now, i create my own life. 

Before, life was out of my control, now, even if I can control only 3%, at least I know there is a possibility to go further, I know how to get there, the discipline implied.

Be mindful about your life, be conscious about your choices.Enjoyment and bliss are just a result of your practice.

“I am because of you”

I am not the mind, the intellect, the ego or the memory,
I am not the ears, the skin, the nose or the eyes,
I am not space, not earth, not fire, water or wind,
I am the form of consciousness and bliss,
I am the eternal Shiva…

The philosophy of yoga it is very complex, touching all subjects related to the creation, preservation and uses of energy.

After all, this existence, reduces itself to raising or lowering the energies in your body. And this is entirely in your power, you may created excuses, but you know it is true, it just needs your attention, focus and discipline towards it.

I don t have to tell you to be good or do good, be mindful about your habits either emotional,food or all activates in your life, and thinking process. This are just energies from a subtle to a gross form.

But now it’s about your thinking process, every single thought that is consuming your energy, the brain is responsible for this and even if it’s only 2% of your body weight it consumes around 20% of the energy. It is not the physical activity that you do, is everything else, all the so called computing process that takes place in your head.

Now for me this can go a lot higher, so high that it can deplete your body totally from the energy needed to heal a liver, or an organ, or just to be happy, happiness and health require energy or did you thought it is free?

Just imagine if you don t have enough energy to sustain an organ what can it happened to it? How can you be blissful if your body is constantly screaming for help?

How can you reduce this?

Start from your memories, thoughts, things that you are postponing.

It may be as simple as remembering you have a closet full of clothes that are not arranged, cleaning your room, reading a book that you didn’t finish, apologize to someone, do your nails.

Even if you think that you have forgotten about them, and it is placed in your subconscious, it is still there, and it consumes energy for it to be “alive”.

The more you gather the more you feel you have to do, the more busy the conscious the more energy you deplete on nothing.

After you will start doing something, anything, you will just feel good about something, either you cooked or clean your room you feel good, you run for 5 min you feel good, you are finishing the book you feel good.

Is it necessary for me to explain why? what is really happening? or the fact that you have unlocked something that was blocked inside of you, had just been consumed, rather than keeping it there for a long time.

Now you have created space, and that space will be filled with happiness. First you create the space for it, then it will come. Your whole body is lost, has a memory filled with undesired energies, every cell has a memory, that memory until now was filled with something out of your control, but now we take what it was ours in the beginning  and We fill it with what we consciously chose.

I encourage you to go to the abyss of your thoughts and start solving everything from up-down or whatever sense you may chose. Work with your thoughts or find ways to feel free from every single pressure of your life, and be here in the present absorbed by the sound of rain, the feeling of your sheets, the movements of your fingers, the sound of music, or just relaxing your eyes, by closing them, and imagine how much good you’re doing to your body.

Yoga is just a form of science that helps you to study yourself, to find your own way and your own religion if it’s needed, your own personal lifestyle that works with you for you.

I am trying to be totally selfish now, 100%, but in my selfishness I understand that there is no “I”, but a community of “ I’s ” and that makes us “we” and without your happiness it is just harder to create mine.

I don’t want to close my eyes to see less drama, stop my ears from listening gossip, and pay attention to what I eat because the society creates more sickness for the only purpose of money, and keeping people numb to their humanity.

I want to walk on streets with more smiling people, where everyone is an inspiration, where my heart is beating and makes me to stop from walking, sitting on bench and cry because everything is so beautiful.

Be a change, leave joy after yourself, or a good thought and be more sensible to the world around you, be yourself, there is nothing more beautiful than who you are, than rather who you think you should be.

Because trusting the creator-nature, rather than your mentality and what this brain has created as a society, it is always the best choice.

“I am because of you”

 I am not the mind, the intellect, the ego or the memory,
I am not the ears, the skin, the nose or the eyes,
I am not space, not earth, not fire, water or wind,
I am the form of consciousness and bliss,
I am the eternal Shiva…

Shiva- that which is not.

Isn’t it funny, how we travel in search for oneself?

How you try different experiences to see how it affects you?

How you respond to them? Just To feel more connected to yourself…

Like you are carrying this device, mechanism, human body of which you have no idea what it truly is, or what it holds, why is it necessary? And what is it carrying?

What can it do?

You feel deep down that you have no idea who you are, where you come from, what is your purpose? How is it, you exist here?

How strange is that?

You keep yourself busy because giving attention to such a thought really kills you, frightens your understanding, of how small you are, and how little you know…

And this is the person with whom you spent your whole life and yet, you know nothing about…

Yes… favorite colors and taste, feelings … this are just details … you cannot be defined by that … it is like, every passing day, you grow and transform, in something else … something different … and what you where … just a short time ago becomes what you used to be.

If it where for somebody to tell me I am who I used to be 1 year ago, I would totally denied it , to be identified with that person, because you feel you have grown so much that the image of you in the past is a children version of yourself, with little understanding.

So this “you“, it is a surprising concept. The more you grow, the more complete you fell and still, the more the abyss is growing inside you. Understanding that you don t actually know nothing because there is a lot more that you haven’t considered before.

Who is this person I call myself?!

You travel to India or different places around the world to be in contact with spiritual people, people who have come to a universal understanding of life and they may help you to better understand yourself.

You feel like you are in more contact with your soul, the source from which you have come.

You feel like you have touched nirvana, but still after a few days, that state become normal and you know there is more, that what you thought it was truth, is just an incomplete version of what really is there. Is like a finite thing is trying to touch the infinite.

You know that who you are today is just a limited version of who you really are and how can you be satisfied with this?   

“I love what I am but I am more…”

It is like a Pandora box, just awaits to be open. You feel it inside, it is not the exterior world that frightens you or feels that hasn’t been discovered yet, is a world inside that awaits your attention.

You feel you are in the presence of something, even when you are alone. Pay attention to that source, which can make you feel connected or disconnected, but to what? what is that? and how deep can it go?

I am dying to know myself

The more I love myself the more I love everything about this world. It is the experiences that allows me to unleash more about myself, to create the proper circumstance for that which is hiding, to revel itself.

Closing my eyes I was totally fascinated about the idea of this verb…this sentence…

I am….i am….ii……am…and I can just complete the sentence with whatever, and that will define what this person will become, for a second, for a thought, for life

I cannot be an elephant, it seems to be impossible to transform myself in one.

Is it enough just to fell like one? how would I act? And may i have a human awareness? is it necessary for me to forget who I am to become that? It seems the only way.

And once you are not human and you become infinite, part of an energy that has no time, how short is a human experience? Is it as short as a thought? So when I think of an elephant in this posture as a human… is it the same for the universe when it thinks at a human experience? What it may seem for me 1 mil years for him is a micro-second?

Wasn’t it the same kind of experience happening right now? The same exchange? The same question?

I am the source but I forgot that in order for me to identify myself with a human being. Is this why I feel is not enough? I know deep down I am something else…

It’s your decision to become what you want, the more you invest in it, the more you will be identified with that. But isn’t it all an illusion then and we spend time stressing for nothing, when we should just enjoy everything?

It is like the light hitting a triangular prism dispersing light. In that dispersion you have a tiny, infinitely small percentage of what light really is, but still a rich spectrum of colors. I am that rainbow and I chose which color I am, but still it is a limited nr of colors.

The source of the light is “I” when it touches the prism, “I” becomes the action the verb ”am” what follows is up to me…

One day I will go back… and feel that deep connection and become and be infinite again. That is the calling of my soul, that light, and i would never feel complete until the process is reversed.

I am dying to know more, to feel more, and feel closer to myself and connected to this source that is allowing me to exist in this way. I want to be able to close my eyes and feel everything, become nothing so I can experience everything.

        I am not the mind, the intellect, the ego or the memory,
I am not the ears, the skin, the nose or the eyes,
I am not space, not earth, not fire, water or wind,
I am the form of consciousness and bliss,
I am the eternal Shiva…

The mind is a beautiful servant, but a terrible master.”

More and more people today want to be able to stop their mind. It seems like all of the thinking process got out of control, and a lot of stress is coming from that. But it is not only stress, frustration, confusion…nothing seems to go right.

Since an early age your parents and society put you to kinder-garden, school, university and different activity in order for you to learn. Since the age of 6 almost 8h a day you where programmed to think and act in a certain way. And it seems the more you could achieve and do, the more they would rise their expectation and studies, keeping you as busy as possible, making it for each generation an almost impossible task to achieve, so you can result either  as an achievement of society or a failure, in both cases society wins.

Just think of all the tests and exams of your whole life, you would never get an easy subject to have plenty of time to develop. They wanted you to be under pressure and stress your whole time, 5 min for one question, it was like time was never enough, and for 1-2 h you couldn’t breathe. Your best form of relaxation was quitting classes and enjoying some peace of mind away from that craziness.

And how can you love education, when the only purpose of it was “who is the best? Who has higher grades?” you would never hear professors and children talk “Ohh, you know how to write how beautiful, I love the math classes I understand how useful it is”.

No, it is only memory, no creativity, stress and pressure for 16 years of education. So after all this time you jump directly into a job, and there is the same system.

You get to a point where you are either sick, tired, unhappy, on medication, or other imbalances.

After school-work you go home, eat and go back to your study or tv. So, now you feel you are doing nothing, not thinking, you are just relaxing in front of the tv.

The problem is that, this is the last thing you need, after sitting all day in an uncomfortable position you come and lay in a posture even more damaging to your body.

Is not like you worked the body so the body needs to relax, you worked your brain, so watching tv is not going to relax it, will only get him more tired, jumping from emotions like love, amusement, drama, lies, once you are a pilot, once you are a politician, a wife or a criminal changing every 10 min, all these feelings are triggered in the body and it takes a certain amount of energy for the body to “live” what you’re watching. But then, you go to bed and expect everything to be perfect in the morning, and the body is trying to repair all your mistakes, but putting all this poison, one day it will crack.

It may start easy, with a headache, but medicine is there … useful for you to numb the pain, after it develops in something more powerful, again your solution is to take drugs, “go to the pill … everything will go away instantly” and you need stronger and stronger medication, until you lose total connection to the body.

Your body is talking with you, every moment of its existence, but you act like you are deaf. Only when the pain is unbearable you take measures.

When is the last time you said “I don t like it, but I do it for my body. It is not the best tasting food, but my body loves it. I am not a sport being, but I need to move for my body.”

But you don’t…until one day you damage your body in an almost irreversible way, disk herniation, schizophrenia, bipolar or other diseases and imbalances. So don’t blame the body for creating all this problems, it is just the consequences of your actions, it is not inherited, that is just an excuse.

I really enjoy when people talk about retirement, the truth is when that time will come, if you can still walk without using a stick or a wheelchair you re a happy case. But most of us are dreaming of something that will never happen. We just pay in advance the hospital and medicine and the people who will take care of us for some years, until the state will decide there is no more point or benefit out of your life.

Just search a picture on retirement on google, they make it such a joyful time full of healthy old people enjoying life, but be real with yourself how many people you know like that? Is that the reality?

Realizing this, an epiphany happens and then people go to all sorts of physical activities, with no awareness or no training they act like pro’s, they want to do the most complicated things, and the hardest things, from day 1.

Some of them have patience and it just clicks faster than others, but there is a big percentage that they come try it 1-2 times and they know is not for them.

So it took years and years of bad choices and you expect everything to be right in one day.

I say go and do all kinds of yoga and all kinds of physical activities but bring awareness to what you are doing, breath, adjust your posture in the end all yoga is … a good alignment and awareness over all asanas (postures of the body) some are more efficient than others, but that is for you to discover.

Some will try it a little and after a short time will say “Ok it is not for me, I need something energetic, I don t feel that my mind is stopping, and plus all that spiritualism and religion, it is like a cult chanting and I don t know what…”

For 16 years they made an effort of creating a habit for the mind to stress, multitasking, frustrate, think in a certain way, and they expect in 1 h X 1 time a week for everything to disappear.

The problem is not how many times you practice or go to yoga classes, is how much you use that information and that mentality. 1 h a week would be enough, but the second you get out of your “yoga practice” you return to all your old habits that put you in the first place in that state.

Now it is called practice because it is preparing you for what it’s coming, you… getting out of that room and start doing the real yoga, which is life. Have the strength and clarity to try and balance your life style.

The only purpose of yoga is to make you enjoy life more and move effortless trough each situation which you will encounter.

Yoga doesn’t care that you practice or not, nor your teacher, don’t do it for them or for anybody else to impress, do it for you.

For every practice remove all your disbelief’s, be absorbed in everything you do, every breath every limit, and once your attention will be focused on whatever you are doing there, you will have a glimpse of your “peace of mind”.

And once you know how it feel, you will know where to find it again, how to make it last longer and how to increase it’s potential.

“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all previous centuries of existence. To understand the true nature of the universe, one must think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” Nikola Tesla

Now Nikola has observed that everything works best when in harmony with nature. Nature is a mirror of the universe, so you don t have to look to far away in order to balance your mechanism called body and make it in tune with creation, and the creator.

Life and the perception of the world today is all about matter. It seem like in order to believe it or understand it, we need something that is tangible, that we can see. So even speaking to some people today about atoms or energy, or electric or magnetic power, for them it is still a SF movie.

Is it really so hard to believe that all matter is actually formed out of atoms- molecules? And the core of atoms and molecules what today we refer as matter they are really just “vortices of energy that are constantly spinning and vibrating“.

This sound as unreal, as I would say to the majority of people that the images they see on the screen are only hundreds of thousands or millions, of very tiny lights of different intensity and colors that change at least 50 times in a second in order for your brain to perceive it as an image.

Is like trying to say to them that a song or a melody are just different vibration of different lengths and intensity that your years are perceiving as a melody.

So the world we see today is only through the limits of our perception and brain, and for most of us, ignorance and lack of knowledge.

But this can be regardless, what does matter, is for you to know that, your individual consciousness is connected to the energy of every single atom, every single matter. Your thoughts and action influence not only matter but everything that exists around you.

It is like sending “a msg or a request” on your computer which has an internet connection, you don t understand the process of it, but some does, and you get in instants something related to what you asked for, now the more accurate you are in your “thoughts” the narrow is the number of possibilities to get exactly what you asked for.

Try searching on google, the less you know of what you are looking for, the more millions of answer you get, the more specific, closer you are of what you want the less possibilities the universe will provide and create that kind of circumstances for you to get what you wanted for.

Now it sounds like a fairy tale, just because you don t see some of the requests instantly. But that is because you are requesting complexed-matter-like things and just as in a fabric this things take time and has to be in “line” with nature and cosmic balance.

If every wish got fulfilled, probably most of us would be dead now 🙂

There is a beautiful story about this wishing thing J for those who are never satisfied and want more instead of, appreciating and accepting the reality they live in, being grateful for this.

“Into a room full of children at play walks their uncle, who, of course, knows better. Laughing at their preoccupation with make-believe games, he asks them to go out to the massive banyan tree, which will grant them whatever they wish! The children rush out, stand under the branches of this huge tree that cover the sky, and ask for what all children crave: toys and candy. In a flash they get what they want, but along with an unexpected bonus: the built-in opposite of what they wished for. With toys they get boredom; with candy, tummy aches.

Sure that something has gone wrong with their wishing, the children ask for bigger toys and sweeter candy. The tree grants them their wishes, and along with them bigger boredom and bigger tummy aches. Time passes. They are now young men and women and their wishes change, for they know more. They ask for wealth, power, fame, sexual pleasure–and they get these, but also cupidity, insomnia, anxiety, and frustration/disease.

Time passes. The wishers are now old and gather in three groups under the all-encompassing branches. The first group exclaims, “All this is an illusion!” Fools, they have learnt nothing. The second group says, “We are wiser and will wish better next time.” Greater fools, they have learnt less than nothing. The third group, disgusted with everything, decides to cop out and asks for death. They are the most foolish of all. The tree grants them their desire, and with it its opposite: rebirth, under the same tree. For, where can one be born, or reborn, but within this cosmos!

All this while one child has been unable to move out of the room. Being lame, he was pushed down in the scramble and when he dragged himself to the window, he was transfixed watching his friends make their wishes, get them with their built-in opposites and suffer, yet compulsively continue to make more wishes. Riveted by this utterly engrossing Lila of desire and its fruits, a profound swell of compassion welled up in the heart of this lame child, reaching out to his companions. In that process, he forgot to wish for anything for himself. In that moment of spontaneous compassion for others, he sliced through the roots of the cosmic tree with the sword of non-attachment, of nishkama karma. He is the liberated one, the mukta purusha.”

We occupy one of the most complex and marvelous machine, the human body. The human body mainly purpose to keep “alive” the energy that occupies this body in order for You, the “ I ” in “I am..”, to live this human experience.

You can take the heart of your body, the “temple” that you occupy, and the heart will still beat for a short amount of time.

Most of the muscles, contract, using electrical impulses from the brain, while the heart itself, is not regulated by the brain, but it actually beats by itself. If you take the brain out, the muscles will not contract by themselves, but the heart will.

The only function of the brain is to tell the heart how fast it should beat. The cells inside the heart will continue firing for an extended period of time, so the heart keeps beating by itself. As long as the heart has ATP to provide energy and oxygen, it can beat with no connection to the brain. Death is defined when the heart stops. And it isn’t easy to stop death, which could be a result of a heart failure, unless you meticulously compare which type of medical device can terminate any chances of the heart attack taking place in the first place.

“What is happening when a heart is replaced?” – This is the core of your energy.

Interesting fact: A turtle heartbeat is continuing beating after being removed, for several hours.

Heart facts :

–The heart begins to form in the fetus before the brain

-Average heart beat is 110.000 times a day, almost 3.5 billion times in a lifetime.

-It produces enough power in 1 h to lift 900 kg almost 1 m above the ground. In 1 h 15 min it can lift a small car.

-The source of the heartbeat is in the heart, not in the brain, after a transplant they cannot reconnect the heart and the brain, the heart beats on its own.

-The electrical impulses of the heart is 40-60 times stronger than the brain, stronger than any other electrical impulses in the body and it can be measured 1 m away from the body.

-The heart sends more information to the brain, than vice versa. There for, first is the heart, and after the brain.

-The circulatory system of the heart is more than 95.000 km. The distance around the world is 40 000 km, so 2 times more, just putting all veins ,arteries together, head to head.

-If you put different people’s heart cells or even animals together in a petri dish (like a small shallow dish of thing glass or plastic) they will all beat in UNISON, while the brain cells will not communicate and just die together.

(We are all part of the same source, we are fundamentally all the same, the same energy is flowing trough us, animals, plants, and every living thing…)

(That is why sometimes when you are stressed just staying in the presence of someone will calm you down…)

-The electricity generated by the heart can be detected and measured in the brain patterns of another person nearby.

-The heart magnetic field is 5000 more powerful than the brain and can help you access more of your brain.

So, from now on, it can be clear to you why you cannot control the heart using the brain, no matter how much you try, the heart is always stronger.

Listen to your heart!

They say that on 2.5 square cm of skin you have more than 600 pain sensors, 1300 nerve cells, 9000 nerve endings, 36 heat sensors, 75 pressure sensor, 100 sweat gland, 3 million cells, 2.7 m of blood vessels, 3.6 m of nerve fibers.

The human body is a sensible body, but it seems like trough time it become more insensible, stiffer, bones are fusing together, mentalities are thinking in a box, minds take control over people and we lose awareness of everything we do in life.

We become machines, programmed to think, feel, work and chose on command. Society is so well constructed, for the vast majority, that nobody questions, nobody thinks he’s a modern slave, nobody is even aware of the difference between their own choices or the choices someone arranged in your mind unconsciously.

Yoga is trying to reverse this process, making you take control over the mind, the body and all your actions. Yoga is questioning even the root of your existence. Everything you do becomes a question.

We are all in pursuit of happiness, without knowing what happiness is.

We think happiness is something material, tangible that can only be acquired by material things, a house, a job, a lover, new car, new everything. We are all sick of what was old, and in pursuit of what is new, without knowing ever the real value of that “old” thing.

We move through life like intellectuals, so full of ourselves, just because we have a diploma telling us we are PHD students, or Managers, CEO, or other kind of titles society give to someone just to fell less frustrated by his own achievements. So we can go and brag to everyone how smart we are. :))

But just imagine, that when you achieve something, you cannot say that to anyone! So what are the real value of the things that you do, to you personal, not to impress others, what is really fulfilling and make you happy?  Now … what are the things that are really valuable in your life. 

The truth is we don’t know nothing, we don’t know the most basic of things, we don’t know our own body, we don’t even know how to breathe, but we expect to be happy and well.

Experiencing even the most basic of postures in yoga, the physical aspect of it, will make you more sensible to life, to breathe, more aware of your body, your skin, the way you move. You start connecting back  to your body.

Happiness for me, is experiencing that 2.5 cm of your skin to its full extent.
Sitting on your back breathing freely, moving the toes and fingers, head, in the same time, having your attention on all the sensation the body is giving you in that moment that is bliss, and the more you feel the more excited you get. It’s like having a massage, or someone touching every inch of your body in the same time.

The same effect, some drugs can induce artificially into your body, just making you more sensible, exciting every cell of your body to a simple sound, or movement, or emotion, bringing your attention to the present.

After a class, when the body is “happy and well“, and you aligned yourself with the cosmic system, the moment when “you, the mind and the body” had the same purpose, working together, you’ll feel the whole body energized, a percentage of your billions and billions of cells, vibrating, in a ticklish sensation, like telling you in their own language “thank you”.

Happiness comes In moments and you are creating each and every single one of this moments, by just paying attention to the present and improving your own being, you are responsible for everything you are experiencing.

The world outside your body is just an image of what you are feeling inside. Changing the outer world starts by changing the inner one, working on your perception, growing your consciousness.
