Hey Buddy, Let’s Talk
When I write this I am not trying to talk politely in some "we" tone, making my words less
direct, less harsh and maybe rude. I don't want to do that. I am writing directly to you.
I see you suffer my friend, you're lost in lies of this world, suspended
between your contradictory desires.
Are you religious? Do you believe in a God who died on earth, resurrected to
heaven, and now waiting to judge you.
I hate to break it, but God you’re worshiping isn’t chilling on a cloud or
hiding in a burning bush. Jesus Christ isn’t some celestial being floating
outside your reach, he’s been in your corner all along. In fact, he’s so
close, you’ve mistaken him for background noise.
The cross you imagine Jesus carried? Is a metaphor. The real cross is the
one you carry every day; the cross of ignorance. You’ve buried Christ so
deep in yourself, he’s practically become a roommate you’ve forgotten about.
It’s time to dig him out and say, “Hey buddy, let’s talk.”
Ignorance is a universal condition. It started when
your mom, in all her loving cluelessness, taught you that you’re a body with
a name. And you believed her because, well, you were too young to
argue.
It is your destiny by being born. Ha, destiny is believed to be something that will
necessarily happen in the future. It is taken to be some the hidden power
which control what will happen, somebody calls it - fate.
Destiny is not the future, it is what you think right
now!
The person is glued to the destiny. Destiny is nothing else but your
thinking habits. What you think is what you feel and what you feel is what you
see.
I'm not quite sure how much you are responsible. I’m not talking about
your responsibilities as a parent, employee, or a friend. These are the
circumstances you have found yourself in, I am talking about the
responsibility you have - for yourself.
Have you ever wondered what "yourself" really
is?
Whatever thing you are looking at, you can not be that ? Do you agree with
that?
If so, you can observe thoughts which appears to be
somewhere in your head, so you can look at it and that means you are
separate from thoughts, you are not what you think.
You can observe your feelings but in different way, because the feelings
carries energy and that energy takes your attention fully by identifying
with the feeling. But try, just for a second, separate your attention from
your feelings, you can see that you are not these every moment changeful
feelings.
You can observe yourself being happy or being sad, in the midst of anger you
can observe your rage, so definitely you are not emotions.
There is a psychological training, I recommend it, it is
called Self-Observation.
It is a simple practice, you divide your attention and you create a passive
observer of whatever you do during a day. You observe it. You do not try to
change what you see, you just observe what you think is "yourself".
Very soon after you start practicing you will notice the contradictions,
lies, self-calming talk, self-pity attitude and many other things. You maybe
be shocked how much your thoughts are lying to you and you will realize
what is your real position.
You are you. A person who exists. I and the rest of us, are only images on
your screen... and alike we live, loving and pissing on each other, while
searching for the meaning of this.
Early in 2002, I was pushed into spiritual path. In the beginning of my
awakening, I felt like I didn’t belong to this world and its people. And I
still do.
But somehow, I became different than you
You take this life as a journey. You experience it as if you are traveling from one
to another event in time, with hopes, expectations and dreams. I may
appear to do and feel the same like you but that is not quite true.
I may make plans to travel, to go for a vacation, meet my friends, have
dedication for yoga practice, finish work project, etc. but what I
actually feel inside myself is an endless peace. I'm satisfied with where I am.
For me the life is a bittersweet entertainment.
On other hand you are running in a treadmill. You evaluate life through your
satisfaction. Something is a profit, something is a loss for you, success or
failure, pain or pleasure, call it as you like. So, no matter what you try to do,
you really never come to a place of peace, of a complete fulfillment. And the worst part is that
you don't even see that you are on a treadmill.
I don't worry much. This is a good thing right? Not always. My lack of worry
irritates the people around me. I am seen as an irresponsible, for my money
spending especially. My lack of fear is easily misinterpreted as lack of
humility. Maybe I am fickle and unstable, my daughter takes me as a showman,
an entertainer, my wife thinks I'm immature, my boss at work feels like I
lack respect.
People think that I'm careless. And they bother me with a long monologue of
useless advices. I keep offending those who have strong egos, which can
actually become a threat, some people may even try to use me, I simply don't
care... and that offends.
Have your time come?
It's a funny thing, we are living in an age where everything is so available,
nothing is hidden. But you have no idea about the true authentic awakening,
the science which explores the mechanics of your own suffering and the way out
of it.
The world around you treats you in a certain way because you are a person
projecting your knowledge of WHO YOU ARE.
In fact, the society simply reacts to how you see yourself, the patterns of
your reactions, speech makes your behavior. In turn, you really think that you
are in the world and the most of the time that world does not treat you
according to your wishes. From a perspective of Reality you look like as a
complete lunatic.
