Understanding how you function, who you are

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?
