Today Forever

Lets live to die today like there is no tomorrow. Lets be full of life in each breath we inhale, and be empty from the death in each breath we exhale.

Ask This Question

Ask, “Who am I?” Know that we cannot answer who we really are, but finding who we are not is making us focus because the desire to find it arises. Although senses can only focus what is temporary, such as the world, when we forget the world is when we find ourselves. Through realisation the illusions disappear. We leave our idols behind. And this is awakening. Know that no matter how hard you try, if you are looking outside, to the world, you only find who you are not. Leaving all there is requires wisdom.

Travellers

We are all travellers heading towards the unknown. We will be meeting in the unknown.

Active-Reactive

While the essence of sleepers is reactive to the life active, the essence of those awake is active to the life reactive. Here is a short story of creation to us, whether when we create or mock our circumstances.

Eye Contact

Getting lost in the eyes of a beloved one is the highest state of sharing in life. All boundries are lost too, as the selves of the lover and the beloved blends into one. And this love! How joyous are those who are lost in each other’s eyes and speak without tongues while kissing each other with gleaming pupils.

Hand in Hand

Holding hands is the way to connect the universes together just like the nerves that connect in our brains, as each person is a universe in themselves.

We can only hold hands with those we love, thanks to the nature of attraction, like the attraction of the forces of nature, such as electromagnetic force of planets, as each heart is a planet in itself.

Ensure

Eye was blinded out by light
Not knowing how the other Eye was blacked out by dark.
Shadows were dwelling over glabella when I
Unsolicitedly scratched my bindi.
Rest was inside my head ringing like bells,
Ensuring me of my enlightenment.

Electric Circuit

Batteries, resistances, transformators, bulbs, cables, switch, and so on. These are some of the materials needed to create electric circuit. But what if I told you that we don’t need these materials to create an electric circuit? Instead we just need to be. Think about our body. In each moment, thanks to our heart, it pulsates out the waves of our heartbeat. Where do we think our heartbeat is coming from, or how do we know when the bulb is lit? Do you think it is possible to light the bulb without battery? Or assume the sun is never shining over us, what would happen? It is now more apparent for us to see that our electric circuit is extremely basic when compared with the universe, because our electric circuit requires physical connection like cables, whereas the universe transmits energy by light. Although the electric circuit of the universe is more complex, it is easier to be than to do. When we create any circuit to light up our surrounding, we have to do. But when we create any circuit to lighten our minds, we just need to be. It is easier to be than to do. Being who we are does not require any doing. The body, on the other hand, is one of the materials of the universal circuit. It does not matter if the body is the bulb or the battery, for all the materials have a purpose when their time comes. Even the universe is never ever-constant. It pulsates, and the stars in it also pulsate out their light because the light itself is both existent and non-existent at the same time. This unstable state of light is due dreaming because the light itself is the consciousness.

Imagine seeing a dream, then becoming a person in the dream. There, there is a universe the mind is creating for us to believe that it is real. And this universe we live in is the same kind of universe of our higher consciousness. First it is all dark, and from this darkness comes out the light, or shortly, the dream appears. The dream becomes more realistic when we dive deep into it. In the deepest state of consciousness, there is life. Hence the light that creates life is life. And this life is the core of existence. When the consciousness is heightened, the needs are lessened, but the creation is enchanted. In the highest state of who we are, we do not even need to be, to be who we are. And it is where the potential is the highest because there we have a chance to choose who we want to be, and where we want to be, and so on, like in our dreams. Hence the dreams are the result of a pulsation too.

In the highest state of who we are, we do not need energy, but we can create and send out all kinds of energies to shape our dreams or our universes. Only if we love, then the dream can continue because fear ends the dreams, fear ends the universes. But as long as we love, we are part of the creation. We accept, by love, to have our body and to make this body as one of the batteries in this universe. In the highest state of our love, we not only accept our body, but also the body of others as ours, likewise batteries. Think of this change on the positions of batteries, from being in a series connection to being in a parallel connection in an electric circuit. We all would have the same energy in each of our bodies, by love, and each of us would have the same energy as the energy of the whole universe, thanks to parallel connection. Our bodies having the same energy as the energy of the universe would be exalted to the state of pure consciousness. This state of pure consciousness is the light, and we all would be the light because we all are already this light. Shining through and from out of the electric circuit of life.

The Knowledge

Every moment, we share knowledge. From breathing in and out to our heart beating. Whether we exchange information through conversation or exchange our molecules does not matter. We are exchanging particles that carry data, even when we try to share not.

To live is to take in information and to give information. Tell me if we can stop breathing. When we exhale is when we give, especially in our last breath; and when we inhale is when we take, especially in our first breath. We all desire to not die but live happy and young forever; except those unhappy people may desire to die, and they are the definition of the depression.

For instance, we can add sugar to our water and stir it, and the molecules of sugar will mix into the water. When we drink it, it is no longer the same, but it has a sweet taste. It increases our blood sugar and causes our body to react. Or we can add flowers to the water and we consume it as tea, such as chamomile tea.

We would not chew daisies first and shallow them, then drink water afterwards, because our taste knows well that we need their exchanged information to have good trip. Drinking a cup of chamomile tea will give us delight.

But a bad trip would be when we drink poison instead. Our taste will reject it, and our body would react, then we die if we continue to drink. Even worse, there are sinister substances that we would not even taste, but they will affect us negatively, such as tasteless acids.

Even pesticides are the result of knowledge on how to kill insects. So, whether the experience is good or bad carries knowledge. To be wise is to learn from our mistakes and repeatedly do what we have discovered to be true. And fools are those who repeatedly do the same mistake again and again.

Ultimately, knowledge exists in both good and bad forms, and it is constantly being shared throughout the universe without interruption. And this writing of mine is one of many.

Physical, Spiritual, and Mental Unity

Humanity is like a flower with roots, stems, and petals.

The root of humankind is understanding the limits and needs required for spiritual growth. Knowing what you need, such as appropriate clothing for the current situation, and understanding your limitations, such as whether you can build a house to protect yourself, are all spiritual, although they may seem physical.

The stem of humankind is knowing what is healthy and beneficial for your body to enable physical growth. Knowing what is healthy for your body, such as eating salmon, and understanding what your body needs, such as daily workouts to stretch and carry out daily tasks, including the fuel required to power your home, are all physical. Understanding your limitations, such as the weight you can carry or the clothing required for carrying out tasks, can increase your body’s capabilities, supporting stem growth from the root which is spiritual.

The petals of humankind are understanding how to react to situations in the present moment, identifying and solving problems as correctly as possible, leading to mental growth. Knowing the situation you are in, such as whether there is rain, and determining the appropriate solution, such as using an umbrella or seeking shelter, are all mental. The roots feeding the stem enable the petals to blossom, helping you remain focused, organized, and strong enough to tackle problems.

Those lacking one element are deficient in the others. Growing all parts with balance and self-love is essential to prosper; the strength that comes from unity begins from within.
