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.

Duality of Personality

It often confuses me about which state I am in sometimes. I have my beliefs and ideas of right and wrong and I like to think they shape me. But sometimes I dont do what I believe. I know what is expected of me. I know how I should behave. Yet, I dont do that. Observing this behavior makes me a bit uncomfortable. But then again, maybe there aren't any right or wrong thing to do. There are just actions.

We waste so much time thinking of right and wrong that we miss out the whole point of it. We miss the opportunity to act. We miss the whole experience of action. I think we should do what feels right to us. Something that gives us happiness. And, if we act on our positive emotions, chances are things wont go wrong and we'll end up being a happier person.

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.

Light and Darkness

Something strange is happening to me these days. Its like a fight going on inside of me. I like to think I'm rather a good person, but I can sense the darkness thats inside of me. I dont like it but I cant seem to be winning the fight either. Its a constant tug-of-war raging inside of me. I dont know why if something that I consciously dont like is in my psyche. How does one deals with it? Maybe if I try not to think about it then it might go away. After all there are no good or evil, there are just action. Some actions are beneficial for someone and vice-versa. Good or bad is defined by the people who faces the aftermath of the action.

Anyways life goes on. But I do feel like something around me is not going right. It might cause grief or pain to people who are close to me if I end up right. Worst thing is its not expected of one to talk about these things, so I wont.

As I command?

It was the summer of 2010. I left home to spend a year away from everything. Sort of soul searching in solitude. It was awesome. I figured out huge lot about my life and belief in that time. I felt a sense of calm and peace that I never felt before as if I was finally one with the universe.

So there I was at my penthouse apartment cooking lunch for myself. Suddenly the sky turned dark. A huge storm started to rage. There were heavy rain, hail and very strong wind. I'll be honest, I was a bit scared. So I stood behind a window, looking at the storm and commanded it to stop. Instantly after that I felt the worst shame ever. How can I command a force of nature? Who gave me that right? I felt sorry for myself. I learned to be more humble toward the nature from that day on.

Speak Up!

As we grow older, things tend to get more complicated. As kids we were very straightforward about our feeling and expressed them in a very direct fashion. If we liked something, we wouldn’t hesitate to appreciate it, if we hated something, we would just say it on their face. As we grown up it becomes really difficult to speak our mind. We continuously think about how the other person will take it or how our expression will effect our surrounding. Doing this a lot of things never really get expressed. Slow poisoning us to become bitter persons.
My point is you can never make everybody happy around you. But you can try to be happy yourself. At least that way you are less likely to make people around you feel bad. I think we should always try to express our feelings, no matter if they are negative or positive. Some might not like you, but others will respect you. In the end that is all that matters.

Dangerous Knowledge

Knowledge is a gift to humanity to itself. It’s a beautiful thing. It’s the source of our culture, wisdom and identity. It gives us great inspiration, gives us meaning to our curiosity. Above all, it improves the quality of our lives. But we should be cautious cause some knowledge are to be questioned before one lets it in.

Throughout the time human occupied this planet, we have gained knowledge from experience or it has been passed on to us by our older generation. These knowledge were gained for our own good and survival. Although in the last few hundred years a radical change took place. Merely surviving and being content was no more fashionable. People wanted more. By the introduction of money and banks, suddenly the world seems to have changed. Its quite embarrassing as a human to admit that me, you and most of the people of this time is part of that madness. Greed, fear and unhappiness is becoming more of a way of life rather then an upsetting human condition.

So, where does this dangerous knowledge plays its part you ask? Well, it fuels our foul emotions. We live in a time where everything is a product. Every occupation is a part of an industry and every person is in debt to a higher authority. All those glorious war for freedom were just a tool to make us slave of a system that we created for ourselves. Of course the monitory system is the most enslaving system of all. It’s the system that makes us its slave without letting us having a slightest clue. Its the work of pure evil genius, and only a twisted human mind can come up with such a thing.

In a world where money rules as the primary power, people wants to have as much of it as possible. Thus it becomes important to manipulate other people to earn more money. These days, its one of the most important elements of business. Putting a curtain of dreams in front of the mass public to sell a particular product for more money is the ultimate goal for successful businesses. It is almost disgusting to imagine that this ability of manipulation is promoted even in the academic institutions. Books are written that explains how the human mind can be manipulated to fulfill a moneymaker’s dream. While moral obligations to society and environment is thrown away to accommodate more profit making tricks young minds are getting sucked into this dark world where they think they are learning the ways of becoming successful. In reality they are learning how to take power and rights from others to become more powerful. Can you imagine that people are being taught around the world to trick us and manipulate us with greed and fear so they can earn more money for themselves? This is the reason that we have more things in our homes that we don’t use or need. I believe we humans are primarily good at heart. We tend to trust others very easily. But these power hungry, greedy people are using this softer side of us for their advantage. I’m not against promoting a good and beneficial product. But it’s the bad products or the over charged products that are forced to us by using fancy looking propaganda I’m really against. I’m against the people who use knowledge to fool others. This is the evil knowledge that has brought the world to the brink of hopelessness and grief. We cannot be happy only because we cannot be content. The most ironic part is even after knowing all this; there is little we can do. We can only hope that someday our aspiration to create, share good knowledge and resource will overtake our greed and fear so we can live a happy and fulfilling life. Right now we can only be optimistic that we will someday be able to change our ways of life and make the current situation a distant memory.
