The Buddha – from there to now

00bbcbcfeddf6a7f5189b09da57d813e

Just feel, without explaining, without trying to define. It is, what it is, and it is beautiful, just as you observe a piece of art.

The moment you define one thing, you limit that thing.

One of the worst things we ever did is trying to define god, something that cannot be defined, that is infinite in all possible ways, we are trying to put word into it. God is like that, and not like this, does that and don’t do this.

Whit your limited mind you are defining things you don t understand. You cannot even define yourself, if you are honest. But your ignorance tries to define god.

imagesAnother big mistake human kind, has made, is separation, thinking that God is somewhere out there, and not inside every living thing, everything that exists. Inside you and outside you, everywhere, the only wall between you and god is an imaginary wall you have created, the same kind of wall you are building every day. What you are, what you can do, what you can’t, just limited versions of yourself.

This walls are imaginary and it is time, to break them.

To think, god is something and not everything, just because your mind is limited. You want to give him shape, so he can occupy a space, because you cannot explain something which has no shape, something that cannot be defined by its surface, you cannot understand it, so, you define it.life-of-the-buddha-34

If we would identify everything as god, there would be no more wars on this earth. No more
confusion, no duality.

“Accepting the earth, not owning the earth, not possessing the earth. But the Earth just as it is!

Abused and exploited, Despised and rejected … it is Earth and we owe everything to it!

Realizing we always have been in nirvana, nirvana has always been here, Reality itself is nirvana!

Is your ignorance that makes you think you are this self-centered being, trying to fulfill that void you feel inside with  accomplishing desires. You are already enlightened.”

“Nirvana is this moment seen directly, There is nowhere else than here! The only 26346a8df49f25b8a478e5256a3323b4gate is now, the only doorway is your body and mind, there is nowhere to go, nothing else to be, no destination, something to aim to, is simply the quality of this moment!

Just this, this, this where you are, just pay attention to that pay attention to who is there, pay attention to what everyone is thinking and feeling, what you are doing there, just pay attention, attention to all. Observe and feel.”   

Adjusting the body, in sync with the universe

One person came complaining:

“I had enough! I can stand this anymore! If it s not my work, is my boss, if not is my wife even when i try to escape all this and i go outside my neighbor is there. I cannot have any peace, they are messing my mind.“

So we say to this person:

“it is ok, you just come and stay here with us. You ll have a special room, next to nature, no sound just the birds and exotic animals, and we ll keep away all this people bothering you. From time to time, we ll come visit you to bring you food, but if you’re not joyous by yourself J you will get no food. Just you alone in a room fresh air near the forest, nature around, let us see how much time it takes you, until you go crazy J”

Just be alone and you ll go crazy. The thing is, you cannot handle yourself and you blame it on everyone else. The problem is just this: you never payed enough attention to this one (pointing at the body).

You use it at a very low percentage “Food, work, reproduce” and every day you just enhance all this activities, bringing more comfort to any of them. A car, a better home, a better husband, better tv, better work, better food. From time to time a little vacation when you get sick of everything just to keep you distracted so you can continue back on the path you where before. But not too much vacation because you ll get crazy there too.

Is this life is all about? There is no problem if you want to live this life, it is just that is limited.

You re no better than a worm, he is doing the same thing or any animal. And they are
performing this activity a lot better than you, you just eat 2 kg of food max, they are eating 10 times their body weight. Some of them make love for hours and sleep for a half a year and plus they are a lot smarter, they don t work.

There was a study done a few years ago in india, on the mobile phone, not the smartphone, but the dumbphone, anddrumming vibration they have discovered that more than 97% of the people they were using only 7% of their phone capabilities. So slowly they start taking pieces and erasing software, now there where some complaints but they could handle 3% complaints.

It is always a small percentage of population that complain. But they ll get some bonuses, some fancy posts, something-something to keep them in a “shut up” mode. So they take your brain and mental health, with alcohol, foods, drugs, pesticides, tv, schools, food whatever is needed.

 It is ok you don t use it anyway.

So why is yoga so important? 

In the 60 there was this kind of tv with an antenna J sometimes you will get some blurry lines or a black screen. So you go on the rooftop and adjust this aluminum tubes in a correct line, and the whole world will pour into your tv.

Yogi-meditatingWell we are doing the same thing. Just changing adjusting the body so we can download the whole universe. If we would only sit right, just a straight spine. So we don’t interrupt this transmission and have the attention on the transmission.

Tremendous change!

Yes it will take some time. Already just watching 1 tv show is taking your whole life.

Now you see, the universe is infinite. So we change the positions, to change the channels and the more we stay in one, the more “packages” we download.

But imagine this, like you would plant a seed into the earth(body), the information will grow and you ll have you re results. Don’t overdo it, just with some love and water, the plants will slowly grow, love and patience…

Between a chimpanzee and a human, physically there is only 1.23% difference, but as intelligence, awareness, a great difference. So if that much difference for 1.23 %, what it means is, that if we just adjust this body and the mind a little we may become Buddha, or let us not settle with that! …… better a mystic, or a god.

Just adjusting “this” “antenna”.      Yogi-1 

How to enjoy your work :) Living life intensely

100-How-do-materialists-explain-the-human-spirit-415x280Is not that the workplace that is stressful, nor the workload, it’s just that you are overthinking.

Instead of focusing your attention on what needs to be done now, in this right moment, you are thinking in advance: “how much you have to do, how you are working and other people don’t…how they have a bigger salary, how someone is smoking and you’re sitting there doing all the work….”

This is, what is stressing you, not the actual work. You can make your work a spiritual process. Lose yourself into a 8h meditation. All the attention is on what you are doing, and giving your best, to that moment, not thinking at what others do, not comparing, just doing your work.

Those 8 h will transform in such a short time, and you will enjoy it. Because when you re focused on something, when you re engaged into an activity, time and space just disappear.

Working is just another form of yoga.

When we talk about yoga we don t refer to a certain activity but more of a state, you are in yoga, yousentience-013a are in union, all inclusive.

 You are everything there is to be.      

 My teacher used to say God is more present in kicking a ball, in a football game that it may be in a church. Because to kick a ball, you need a lot of attention; to give it an angle, to calculate the wind, how much speed, what is the other player going to see, you become that kick!

All you attention and focus has to be there in order for it to work.

I just remember the moment in the bible with Moses and the burning bush:

13 Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has hestonsent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?”

14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am.[c] This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’”

I am who I am…I am that I am…I am this and that..i am everything there is to be…”I am…”

For me the physical form of yoga, asanas are just a mean to take your attention and to make you become and feel a posture. Instead of identifying yourself with a body, you evolve into a feeling and reduce your identification with your body.

From there you move to your mind, but even that becomes something that you own, not what you are, you say “My mind” so it must be something that you own and use.

Later you understand and become what you really are, something that cannot be named or defined, because “you” can be everything you want, you just put your attention on something, focus and become that.

But to experience “God” your attention should be on your attention.

tumblr_n65xjrB8zt1skemo9o1_1280Consciousness observing itself

When you sleep you’re gone, the absence of your attention is “death”.The body is still there, but “you” that energy, that awareness has disappeared.Without that attention, the body has no longer any meaning you can keep it alive, but without the person occupying it is worthless.

 An unoccupied body has no value, all you can do is to give it back to nature, it was borrowed from earth.

Since the first day you have come here, you took from earth something and put it somewhere else, it comes a time when you have to give it all back.

You came empty handed and will leave like that, you can only take with you your awareness.

ebe98226-3baa-4968-b432-5509d60f6ef2.quality_lighter.inline_yesIncreases  your awareness, from becoming one thing, that IS limited, an infinitely small fraction of what god is, to become all inclusive, everywhere, in everything, to identify yourself with god.

Every time you have undisturbed attention towards something you become that thing even for a second. You see somebody drinking a coffee, you almost feel the taste in your mouth, you see somebody hugging another, you almost feel that feeling, objects and actions, you experience them in a small percentage, just by looking, just by imagining, just by recreating it in your mind.You can lose yourself into singing, working, moving, breathing, painting, wherever you put your attention on.

And times just fly, the whole dimension of time and space, is distortioned ,all there is, an undisturbed attention, you will find “peace of mind” and joy in what you do, experience bliss.

All you learn is to become more aware and instead of making it accidental, transform it and cultivate it so it happens at will.

Unhappiness comes from the moment you limit yourself and you say you are something, you can enjoy something for a moment, but your soul wants expansion, wants to be something more.

symbolism31Don’t define yourself, don’t limit yourself to something, because you can never settle for something else than everything. And to become everything, first you have to reduce it all to nothing.

If you are willingly and consciously, becoming whatever you want to be with no feeling of judgment or analyze, you, as a cosmos, experiencing all the creation and more, everything there is, Experiencing yourself and with it, the creator that is in you.

No likes or dislikes attached to the intention or focus, no feelings, just awareness.

Nor crying or laughing independently, but both at the same time; that is ecstasy.404de22eee077fae1841f37114ed0bf9

Melancholy and happiness ….  Instead of becoming something…you become two opposites, good and bad, beautiful and ugly and find union in between polarities.

Yoga is union. A state of mind.

Can we do everything consciously….or at least try? To be present in every situation… in everything we do… and to do it with total involvement…to be present…here now…the only moment there is.
