The burden of choice

People often ask me why it takes so long to deprogram, to free the mind of the need of programming. It doesn’t! As with everything else, the concept is reversed.

We always seem to place the subject (ourselves) outside our thinking mode. This too is part of the programming. We imagine the problems to be outside and beyond our own self, whom we see as powerless, small and insignificant.

Doubting the known

After a while, everything sounds like an opinion, which doesn’t have as much validity as it did at first.

But how can we even hope or pretend to grasp, what we cannot, with our physical self, perceive? We pretend to know other worlds, when we have just begun to explore our own.

Every time you seriously doubt, it feels as if you are throwing your core self/essence up in the air, dissolving it until nothing remains. There is no other way. The basic, “instinctive” fear must be met.

Every time you dare to totally dissolve, you enter, a little each "time", into the Ηeart/Core of the Infinite.

About History…

History is not shaped by facts but by opinions.

Facts happen but reality is so far away from those few facts that have been stored in memory. We store subjectively.

They are stored once, individually and collectively, but they are changed, exaggerated, strengthened, every time they come up, every time you recall.

The extent of this depends on the frame each time because new circuits are formed, new facts and opinions are inserted automatically. If not, then we have unbent-ness, arteriosclerosis, Alzheimer’s and much more.

The Center of Information

…And then I go on the internet and read on precisely that which I had been thinking about, as if the information is magically tied to me. But it is!

It happens all the time! I think about something and it suddenly appears in front of me. Either someone is telling me about it or I "fall on it" while surfing the net... or something even more profound, like my 7 year old daughter telling me a dream she just had, based on the exact same concepts I was thinking about a little while before.

Information doesn’t exist “out there”, regardless of you. It exists because of you. If no one paid attention to it, it would instantly disappear. And if people attached different thoughts and emotions to it, it would transform.

Innocence replaces blame

But oh, how we love fairy tales! We think/wish that we can automatically change anything by turning our focus on that which we want/wish for.

Believing the New Age mentality we are led to assume that “all we have to do” is focus on what we want, who we want to be and automatically, everything will change, our perspective will have shifted and we will be “born anew”.

If you followed these sentimental, advertising testimonials through time, you would discover to your (negative) amazement, that 9/10 they are not true; just stand-up expressions of wishful thinking and temporary excitement. Life doesn’t work that way! But we continue to hope and believe that it does. Hope and belief has us "running after rainbows" that would magically change our reality in an instant, when in reality, we fear of realizing our hidden truth.

From a different perspective

For some reason, and out of seeming “nowhere”, I’ve ended up researching “fractals” this morning; a word I’ve never even heard of, as I am not too familiar with mathematical terms.

I can remember exactly how I go there: from where I began (the initial site, article and words that caught my attention), what followed and exactly what steps I used to get there; to eventually reach that "something" that highly interested me for many reasons. The more I researched, the more I discovered that I already knew (from a totally different viewpoint, using completely different words, terms and images), but at the same time... there was still so much to learn and uncover!


Yet all this linear remembering DOES NOT matter. It just shows me a few undeniable truths:

You could (and should) doubt everything

The moment that you realize that you need to continuously doubt everything that you know – and I mean EVERYTHING – is a terrifying and at the same time THE most liberating moment of your entire life because after this, you start living!

I could state everything that I know entirely differently. I could expand on it and subtract from it, without being “wrong”. This is our polymorphic, paradox reality, deriving from our multidimensional selves that we are here to explore. Remaining attached to one-sided, limited, dense identities, keeps the laws of creation and destruction, unity and separation hidden and horribly deformed. 

We create and destruct whole worlds constantly, not realizing that we are doing it, each moment of every day. The whole purpose before we go any “higher”; to other planes of existence, is to learn to do it simultaneously, by integrating the opposites and stop categorizing, judging, which creates polarities.

You don't have to... but you do!

You have to keep moving.

You have to dare risking.

You have to be prepared to fall and to hurt.

You have to focus of your immediate next step, which you pick out of the endless possibilities before you.

You have to be willing to endure, to let go, to devote yourself consciously.

You have to always desire to unlearn and relearn.

You have to be courageous to contract.

You have to be prepared to expand. You have to be centered and flexible at the same time.

Where the money goes

If you want to see where the world is heading, look towards where the money is going. But look closely, even if it hurts or if it makes your beliefs uncomfortable.

And don’t blame the money; that’s a child’s reaction. In fact, when you start blaming, you are caught in the middle of a tornado that will keep swirling you around like feather, lost in the wind.

So, where IS the money going? The amazing thing is that money does not hide. Take a look…

Starting Over; can it be done?

Each moment, we have the opportunity to start over. But do we? And what does the phrase really mean? How do we “start over”?

Do we move house, change relationships, choose different habits? Do we choose positive thoughts against negative ones? What do we really mean when we say, “each day is a new day”?

Since everything is created in the mind, this proves a much more difficult task than we initially think it is. We usually make the mistake of separating: the outside from the inner reality, the others from us, our needs from our beliefs and so on and so forth. So, the initial prompt, “each day is a new day” becomes confusing or is easily and completely forgotten.

Looking for the Children

We have reached a point in our evolution where the most simple and obvious realization is not yet realized, at least seriously, on a large scale.

I’ll state it simply: Children should be included, respected and heard - seriously - in ALL meetings of scientists, psychologists, educators, politicians,  managers, healers, etc. We would then have a completely different world!

And I don’t mean the “small people”. I am not referring to size or age, which usually forms our understanding of the “children” group. No, the group I am referring to is a totally different one to our habitual thinking. “Children”, as I refer to them, are very unique people of all ages, who are usually under-estimated (or feared) by our rational, sophisticated, intellectual society.
But they all seem to have some traits in common…

True Healing

We can heal a disease but we cannot heal our life by any outside force nor with any automatic method or device. The ego produces immediate result. The Spirit does not.

The body and mind are connected with the Soul (our other bodies and timelines) through the subconscious, which becomes evident in dream symbols, life occurrences and their symbolism, our likes and dislikes, attractions, repulses, etc., which the mind has to understand and synthesize, after learning to recognize (not hypothesize).

Although all of our lives and timelines influence this one, we have the ability to change our destiny and the value of our journey right here right now, by realizing and dismantling the programs and "returning" to alignment with our Spiritual essence and potential, which is unlimited - provided we honor our power and serve with integrity.

Rethinking Reality

It is important to step in and out of this reality at will or it will consume you.

Using your own sensory receptors autonomously is no easy task. Being able to distinguish inner “higher” guidance from programming is an ongoing challenge, which becomes easier with practice. The poses and pretenses are many and real looking.

We remain our worst enemy until we begin to distinguish, realize and exit our own programming, which we often call our “truth” or “right”.

If we are really on the right Path - for there is only one - there will be many moments in our lives when we will be startled with Self-revelations: “Wow! I did not realize that this was in me” or …”that this still persisting” and so on... And each time, we would patiently, kindly and lovingly address whatever that might be within us, instead of ignore it.

More than we think we know...

We need to redefine so many things… practically everything that we think we know. And as each new definition is reached, causing transformation within, we discover that there is yet more undiscovered “ground” to reach.

It is hard for the linear mind to perceive that nothing can harm us, nothing and no one is against us and that life is secured. It is my opinion that not only is it hard for the linear mind to capture but impossible too. For the simple reason that it is not its “job” to know! And yet, we have been taught and trained to use a very small portion of our surface mind, excluding the majority of our abilities and possibilities.

There is so much that the linear, left brain does not “pick up” and yet we walk around assuming that we know and control reality, when in real truth, our senses and left brain are blind to 99% of all that is! We are taught to rationalize, intellectualize and choose between the opposites that we perceive. But cultivating and using our right brain, has its benefits…

Laying the Foundations

We are all out researching, learning, planning, creating, designing, healing our everyday lives, moment by moment. That’s one side of reality; each one in our own and in collective (group) realities that we have chosen to participate in. What many of us fail to realize is what is behind all this, how all this happens.

Sure, we want to learn, we are creative beings. We are constantly searching for new methods, improved theories, unique inventions and art forms, which would make our lives easier, more meaningful, more productive. And yet, what we still need to realize is the process; the mechanism of the whole process of invisible and manifested reality.

Your Two Minds

We’re used to saying “I’m right brain dominant” or “I’m left brain dominant”, not really recognizing that “left brain" people also have a right brain and vice-versa. Furthermore, the new trend is to discard this theory altogether, based on “lack of scientific evidence”.

I will dare to cut through all the definitions, impressions, hypothesis and perceived concepts, beyond science and superstition, in an attempt to offer a little more practical understanding, through experience. For, beyond all the clear-cut views, physical evidence and structured thesis, there is another world, the least noted, the least appreciated; that of a right brain/chaotic mind/"unspecialized" person, who thinks outside any box.

Imagery and Illusions

Sometimes the linear mind does not understand and I realize that some of my articles seem "difficult" and vague. I used to run away from similar articles in the past. Now I have a better understanding of how the brain/mind works, and I realize that freedom of thought has to be an inner choice, not an imposed illusion. I also realize my responsibility in providing false images and false truths instead of pathways to our own inner wisdom.

It’s discernment and not escape from temptation that makes us balanced and centered.

Our roles with children

We tend to separate the roles, assuming that we can.
We do so because most of us don't recognize these roles within ourselves.

We do so because the mechanism of our thinking (left brain based) is totally isolated, distracted and disoriented.
Inevitably; through education, both within and without schools.

Yet different and often seemingly contradictory roles need to be equally present in child-raising. Friend, warrior, nurturer, coach, feminine, masculine, wise elder, healer, leader, follower, learner, adventurer, artist, etc, etc... Archetypes or roles, call them what you will. It's not the name that matters. It's the substance, which needs to be revealed in practice, where theories, rules and partial perceptions weave the reality of your learning ground.

Through the whole mind...

... even the word "whole" is an imposition.

I seem to be “out of time and out of space” this morning. It’s a weird but familiar feeling. I have grown to accept it and pay attention to it, while “teaching myself” to simultaneously exist within the time-frame of my physical existence. Sound familiar?

If only more of us didn’t limit our minds so much and welcomed our expanded state of consciousness. For many, this remains a theory, which they pack with lots of taught practices that have really nothing to do with what I am talking about.

It’s actually very practical and “down-to-earth” living, using the amazing abilities of your mind.

Can we turn this around?

In another world… which we could create if we wanted to…

Can we help each other grow?
