Speaking Hands

In the same way that hands, in all their actions, display the intention of a mind moving them. Is in the realization of our inner self awareness, when and where the mind becomes truly inspired, driven at last by the verb. Thus, being aware from this very time and place, pure consciousness shall observe our thoughts, and the spark of life.

Beyond Words

Allan Watts says; if we think is because we’re manipulating with symbols… then, the ghosts in our languages are in fact the limit of our reason.

Also aims that fortunately we might not be completely lost after that, because as the Dutch philosopher Aart van der Leeuw wisely said; the mystery of life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

Suffering

A truth that many people never understand is that the more you try to avoid suffering the more you suffer, because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you in proportion to your fear of being hurt… There is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it’s better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams, than to be defeated without ever knowing what you’re fighting for… Because ignorace about who we really are, is the origin of all human suffering.

Searching

While the thoughts that make us feel as though we know ourselves are easy to experience, they are notoriously difficult to explain. To find out where they come from, Professor Marcus du Sautoy subjects himself here to a series of probing experiments… A documentary about the search of what can´t be found, science on its need for translating reality into belief.

Body and Higher Self

Most of us tend to assume that body and spirit are at opposite ends of the spectrum. But the body is a swirling mass of constantly changing energy …__ The spiritual needs we all have for love, compassion, meaningfulness, total acceptance, devotion and inner peace are not grand goals to be achieved in a distant time and place. They exist here and now and exert powerful influences on our lives. Only by transcending to the higher self can you achieve total, spontaneous fulfillment of these needs.

__Deepak Chopra

The Clearings

Words from María Zambrano´s book Clearings of the woods, together with Für Alina’s music by Arvo Pärt.

The clearing of the woods is a centre into which it is not always possible to enter.. It is another kingdom that a soul inhabits and guards.. since it seems that the nothing and the void -or the nothing or the void- have to be present or latent continuously in human life. And as to not be devoured by the nothing or by the void you may have to create them in yourself .. I also center the heart because it is the only thing that from within our self gives away sound.. And only because of it, the privileged organisms that have it hear themselves. Only the faraway stars, pures, while they are inaccessible to their colonization, will provide the real image of an identical being to its life; innocent, as if it had only been created without having to be born.. It becomes deaf and mute in times, circunstancially, the heart.. It leaves then all place to the operations of the mind that move that way, without any assistance, abandoned to themselves.

What Crisis?

The amazing Eckhart Tolle describes in few minutes here: why the collapse of the ego-based institutions is a necessary step in human evolution.

He says: the self speaks of freedom, peace, understanding, progress. But then sabotages it creating conflict, because needs the conflict in order to know itself. The madness becomes even bigger when it´s egoistically identified with a collective sense of self like: religion, country, race or any other man made group. Then the respectable citizens might become monsters.

Now, if we can look at our past and see the insanity of this self seeking, we already have one foot on a higher level of consciousness. We actually may quickly and easily gather at a very global level. We should have learnt to be aware about the fact that any communion, even with the higher aims, must not be build up in any egoic or fear-based motive. 

We could finally have the chance to emerge together in a completely novel structure, predisposition and purpose. If we open to this reality, it is -imagine that for a sec- infinitely much more powerful than any other collective expression ever seen in the past.
