Oneness

What is your thirst but a useless rustle of winter trees burning to bring back summer's warmth?
One could perish in a spark of that nothingness, for no man could contain the presence of opposites without first being initiated by death.
There is power to be found in the powerless - hope to be found in the forsaken. For who would think that a dirty vase with murky water could contain the elixir of youth?
Hidden in plain sight, Oneness floats from one end of the universe to the other like a wave of the ocean.
Where? In the blowing of dust off one's palm.
Rilke wrote,
"Catch only what you've thrown yourself, all is
mere skill and little gain.
But when you're suddenly the catcher of a ball
thrown by an eternal partner
with accurate and measured swing
towards you, to your center, in an arch,
from the great bridgebuilding of God:
why catching then becomes a power -
not yours, a world's."
Oneness is acting upon the understanding that one cannot control anything, that one cannot know anything, that one cannot grasp anything. Following this wisdom, one begins acting in an appropriate manner towards Oneness - realising he is always on Its Path.

Advice for a friend

Q:  How can one know that one is evolving, in any sphere - spirituality, mysticism, being a nice person, achieving something etc. ?

A: You're always evolving. The matter comes down to how you interpret the processes of your evolution. What I mean by that is, everything in your life is an evolution, because life itself is a becoming, and each moment is a "becoming", where the only important factor is YOUR free will, how you choose to perceive that moment, regardless of the positive or negative appearance of the moment. "The problem is not the problem, the problem is how you choose to react to the problem."
So you can track your evolution by seeing if you react wisely to each situation presented to you on a day-to-day basis. Always remember that each moment is a lesson, a "test" if you will. And if you pass the test, you evolve, if you don't, the test is rescheduled and you're given more preparation time.

Souls

Alchemy

Dreams are thoughts infused with a magical desire fueled by a higher calling to regain what has been lost, to remember what has been forgotten. The process by which those thoughts become reality is called  alchemy.

Love

Love is not something that you fall in. Love is something you dig up yourself, fill with water, jump in and swim. And you don't just dig a hole, you dig an ocean. That you get to enjoy after you're done digging.

Will

Existence is energy moved around and expressed through will.
Terence Mckenna says "We tend to disempower ourselves. We tend to believe that we don't matter and in the act of taking that idea to ourselves, we give everything away to somebody else, to something else."
The idea here is that by submitting your will to something you don't actually want to do (i.e you want to quit smoking but you're tempted to smoke a cigarette), you're actually manifesting the opposite of your free will's real intention.
The basis is this. If you don't use your will, you don't exist. If you don't take matter into your own hands (see that beautiful expression?), you aren't actually contributing to existence.

Thoughts

Thoughts are immortal.

What are we building then?

Bridges, buildings, better technology?

Funny you thought that was the goal.

That’s included, obviously. Better thoughts means better exterior reality. Exterior reality is a reflection of the thoughts manifested in a certain space. But space is subject to time. Time is subject to cycles. Cycles are subject to birth and death. Thoughts aren't.

So my question is, can something eternal be the product of a mortal being?

Now you see it, now you don't

A poet is like a magician. And a magician never gives himself away.

Bliss

Each moment is a now and each experience is an I. If one would transcend time and space by fully living in the now and by fully fulfilling one's unique function in existence, one would live in complete harmony with the universe.

Fulfillment

The path to uniqueness and the path to unity are one and the same.

One

Awakening is when your heart discovers something.
Enlightenment is when you maintain that feeling of discovery.
Love is when you share it.

Mystery is Knowledge, Mystery is Your Friend

I don't know. And it is this "I don't know" that is so wonderful. I embrace my ignorance. I do not cower from it. Because it is indeed by relating to your ignorance as you relate to a friend that you get to know it!

We Flow Like Water

Sitting high, haunted by my higher self's sensitive taunts.
Each moment I live, I pump blood to the wishful, loving, truthseeking people all across this beautiful landscape we cherishingly call Mother Earth.
Each moment I manifest the divine essence of God is a moment of clarity for the souls in this realm, waiting to be rescued but not giving enough of their own will to deserve it. Higher and higher, my bodiless self floats across tundras of galaxies. We engulf ourselves in a scared victim frequency and wonder why we can't breathe. Just float back to the surface, where you were in the first place, before having dived in. The knowledge is within you. The kingdom of God is within you.

Follow Your Dream

You didn't do anything to deserve life.
That’s yet to be done.
And that’s the whole purpose of it.

Legacy

Our physical body perishes, but our experience, if intense enough, remains like a scent in the world.

Through a tiny hole, I see the light. I’m holding a hammer in my hand, and the broken wall thinks it stands a chance against me.

Follow The Plan

You need to synchronise with what you’re looking for

Stop looking for a cure

You are the cure

The world is waiting for you to do your job

Follow your plan, intuition

Centered abyss – pupil

Reflection of ignorance

Desire to learn

Follow the plan

You’re free if you align with the truth

The truth is your passion

If you don’t follow it you lie to yourself

Stop doubting yourself

Do something.

A Symptom of Expansion of Awareness

At the cognitive level, a symptom of expansion of awareness is a constant shift of attention, not as a lack of capacity to focus, but rather the fact that you notice so many things on so many different levels, and you start understanding certain things that you cannot even express, not even in thoughts. You just see a bigger picture form in your mind, but you also feel it. It’s an experience of connection with the Source. It feels like floating in your mind, looking around… looking through a lens and seeing what you would normally perceive as a kaleidoscopic image, but this time it all fits together in one piece, united, connected, synchronised and most important of all, full of meaning. It thus gives the person having the experience a meaning and a knowing that if they trust and follow their intuition, they will fulfill their purpose in life and give it true meaning.

Motifation

If you are reading this, it means you are alive. How's that for a privilege? If you're gonna say, no, it's not a privilege, life is shit, then you're unconscious and insane. You have the chance to explore. Explore your mind, explore your soul, explore the wonders of the world. Explore emotions, explore dreams, explore mountains, explore oceans. Explore forests, explore cities, explore cultures, explore religions. Life is magnificent, it is the ego that creates the illusion of ugliness.
So if you are reading this, do yourself a favour. Acknowledge the fact that you're alive, appreciate it and go do some awesome shit.

On Attachment

Attachment is loss of happiness. Once you truly “grasp” that, you won’t need to be attached to anything anymore. Just let the whole experience flow. Don’t think about when it will be gone, because it will be gone eventually. We’re just fractions of a dynamic process, a molecular dance, and if you get attached to whatever step of this process, you create a separate entity out of it. Don’t.

Does that sound sad to you? Here’s what will cheer you up. We are the most beautiful fraction of this dynamic process. We are dancing the most beautiful dance. We’re the shiniest. And we’ll remember all this. And we will relive it for eternity, if we do it right. Because if we don’t do it right, what would be the pleasure of reliving it?
