Many times in our live we get confused, encounter situations, opposite to our expectations. Our life is surprising us in a way that we could never hope for. Life bring us to our knees, hits us, many times we fall into shock.
Everyone has experienced falling into shock, collapsing, pain or even unwillingness to live. Then he gets a glimpse of light and begins to think about the meaning of life, how did he come to this situation, where did he go wrong? In this moment he awakens. This is the most precious moment, which people sadly do not value and consider being something bad. In this moment one wants to navigate his life. He stands against himself. He starts to seek how to get out of the situation he is and always was in, but kept his eyes closed about that…
And what is meditation? Many confuse reflection with meditation. Many people practice reflection, and they state to be meditating. According to the generally accepted meaning of the word “meditation” means to let go, to get into state of silence and piece. It is a way to achieve absence. If one is absent, could he know what is happening to him and his surroundings, could he be responsible to his life? The deeds that he assumes to be his own practically are not. They are programmed to take place in his absence. As the awakening is already present, it pushes him to manage his own actions. On the other side absence and inaction are very tempting. You don’t do anything, you are not responsible for anything. But in the end it is your decision and you should know that you have a choice.
The world has defaced the choice and the first thing it is offering to you is to meditate, hypnotize yourself and drug yourself. You could use everything to achieve this, because trough repeating you can get hypnotized, in other words – absence. In the state of absence there are those, I don’t know to name them, and fix the problems that led you to shock and awakening.
The best and easiest to find examples are the teachers and gurus. There are many great masters in this art, mostly in India, but there are many others already swarming around the world. They have been trained as loyal servants to the world for thousands of years. It is preached all around that thinking is wrong, acting is right, and one should go with the flow, and god will be acting or is acting instead of him.
The protectors of the world will take care of its problems. As in the end you are considered threat to the system, the protectors are sent to deal with you, to eliminate the threat. Some of them are overwhelming you with arguments and reasons why you are not right. The others are of the virus carrier type. They say something with no meaning and you take it with the part you cannot see – the virus, and you start to feel bad, your conscious gets darkened, your thinking – stopped. That is happening everywhere and every day. The third kind is flooding you with information, the purpose again is to overload and stop thinking.
In every case the purpose is to be brought out of your own control, even for a moment. But even a moment is enough for a good intervention. I have seen too many people that got changed internally even beyond recognition. Some changes was equal to the following example – today the person is a maniacal swimming lover, that tomorrow without any observable reason begins to get terrified of water.
All this is shows us the need to train our ability to distinguish, to filter the truth from the lie, because they are mixed and the border is almost impossible to see. If you can distinguish, everything around you could be of help. Whatever happens around you, whatever people are saying to you, remember that everything has truth in it. The truth is necessary to continue moving forward.
If you don’t lie to yourself and direct yourself towards falling asleep, follows the second step. People begin to gather around you. There are some different options here. Because you have had a glimpse of light in your mind you make yourself believe that you have achieved something extraordinary, you begin to tell people what you saw. Other ways why would people gather around you anyway? And because you don’t have any clearness about where are you going, because you are in a thick fog, you are still an easy prey to the world and it’s protectors. But if you continue to think, you will soon understand that there’s nothing you can give to the people gathering around you, because what you have seen and achieved happens to everyone. Then you understand that they are wasting your time and you are busy with some other peoples’ stuff, and you have yours…
At this moment you begin to value your time, because after this moment it’s not unlimited any more. As a result you begin to ignore the parasite-people. Then follows the third step…
After you go through these challenges, the world clearly sees that you are incorrigible and unshakable and puts you into isolation. The people around you pull back, no one is looking for you, noting happens to you. You are left alone. The purpose of these events is to make you get desperate, and to begin to look and pray for attention and to get involved back to the world. This is a very important moment. You have reached some level of equality with the world. The whole story until here is like a chess game, but with a preprogrammed machine that has a limit to its potential. And you should never forget that you are human with unlimited potential. Do not be afraid of losses. The important thing is to draw your conclusions from them and not to repeat them. Now is the moment to step forward, to attack. And remember, that there is no need to hurt or to convince.
The waiting has come to its end. It the situations are not present you should be looking for them. If no one is looking for you, you should be looking for the people. Tell the world that you are here! Now you have to decide and act on your own. Be strong and unwavering. Seek the truth and don’t compromise anything or anyone, most importantly don’t compromise yourself. You are already beginning to see clearer and further, because it’s getting bright around you. And that’s not because god or someone else is lighting your way, it’s because you are the light itself. While going through everything that’s darkening you, you are getting even brighter.
And your light will shine on the people around you and light up the light in them!
