An Alternate Reality

Parallel universes, other dimentions, bubble universe, membranes whatever it might be called it points toward the idea of an altered state of consciousness if you may. Looking things in a different way. Experiencing an altered version of the fundamental laws. Its almost like experiencing another universe while existing in a completely different one.

Ever since we became self-aware, we in a word became free to think, experience and observe from a very special point of view which is very personal to each of us. The beauty is that no matter what, you can never feel the way I feel of vice-versa. Its beautiful because it gives us a sense of self appreciation and makes our existence that much more meaningful. Sharing that special experience, we have invented art of all form. Only through art we can express the most subtle emotions we feel. It might be a painting, film, music, sculpture or just a splatter of food on a clean wall. What we do, is an expression of our experience, our feelings. Most of us takes all these for granted, because its reality, its how things should happen. But once we step out the normal realm to observe ourself, that is when truth gets delivered to us.

The most important revelation a person can experience is to meet and experience himself. Since we share a common thread that binds us beyond the material world. That thread being our collective consciousness. To be more clear its the residue attraction between ourself that we achieved at the beginning of the birth of our universe. Since every action is capable to effect the outcome of the universe, thus its only logical to assume that the connection that once existed when all matter was one, still exists in our deepest psychological level, or even all around us that is invisible to us, cause we just take that for granted. In a very metaphorical expression, we share one soul, and each of us is a subjective observer of ourselves. In another word we are experiencing ourselves through everything in the universe. And that is the moment of ultimate revelation when we become aware of that connection. A realisation that we are all one, starting from a tiny bug to the largest of stars. That is the moment we truly discover ourselves. At that moment you are entitled to experience the ultimate wisdom. At that moment you experience god.

Dont be misled. When I say god, its not an external force that keeps everything in check. Rather its the collective consciousness of our universe. Its the forse that exists in everything starting from a tiny atom to the supermassive black-holes, and even us. If we look for it, this pure energy will reveal itself. It can never happen through close minded rituals. Rather one must open himself to the infinite possibility to let the massage through. The journey is different for each and all of us. But its the commitment to the journey that will set us free. I can never help you find your way, but I can tell you that there is something amazing waiting for you if you take on the journey. If we all manage to reach that place, we shall all be one, once more.

Reality and Pain

I've asked a lot of people about their views of reality. I asked them to define reality and surprisingly most of them answered by saying "reality is pain and suffering". It intrigues me that in pain and suffering we find the meaning of our existence. None of people whom I asked this questione has mentioned that the meaning of reality or to experience it is to be happy.

So, does this means we are trapped in our pain that we cannot see the other side of things? That we can experience the reality in context of happiness? I think that is what the enlightened ones have realized. They achieved a way to gain true happiness and found out a way to sustain that. To me that is the meaning of nirvana. To return to the source is to find inner bliss.

Trust

A word that possess so much importance in our life. In every step we take we have to trust someone or another. Trust them for not poisoning your food, not rob you when you sleep, to not betray you, never harm you in any ways. Strange as it sounds trust has nothing to do with the person you are trusting on, its rather your own faith on yourself. It is this confidence in us that lets us trust another human being, an animal or maybe the universe. It has power to uplift us, empower us, frustrate us, and make us afraid. “You can never trust anyone but yourself” – some says. But no matter what people say, you always have to trust someone, even if you don’t want you.

We learn about trust from the moment of our birth. Regular feeding and caring from our mothers have taught us that this woman means us no harm. She wouldn’t let any harm fall upon us ether. As time goes by this is the person we come to trust the most. But as we grow older, life changes. We meet other people doing different things to us. We make friends, enemies, find teacher and take apprentices. All these new people act differently with us. We trust different people for different things. We keep the people close who we trust the most.

In our pursuit for happiness trust plays a grand role. If you are surrounded by people you can trust, you will feel lot better. You will feel safe and meaningful. You will feel more compelled to do good for the people you trust and by doing that you gain trust in return. It becomes a beautiful circle. Although slightest bump in that circle can distort the whole picture.

So how does one really trust another being? I believe that if you know how to trust a devil, he will always deliver you, if you don’t know how to trust an angel, he will always betray you. Which means, it really matters on you. If you have enough faith in yourself that this person you are trusting is a friend, then most of the time you’ll be right. But doubt can change all that. If you doubt yourself or your confidence to trust, you can receive betrayal from the most angelic of all the people. It’s the way this thing works. The reality that surrounds us is shaped by our own thoughts. It’s like a mirror that reflects our own doings. You decide what you see in that reflection.

So, love others, as unconditionally as possible. Be humble and show gratitude. Be generous and kind. You will gain all the trust you need. In return you will gain the confidence to trust in others.
