“A thought without belief is
nothing at all. A thought with belief can start a war.” Mooji
Our beliefs shape our lives. And
only the thought we believe we can manifest.
It starts already in a child, for
example, girls are being dressed in pink, boys in blue. And then certain
culture forms another belief, so does religion, educational system, society.
And all these “shoulds and should nots”
kind of make an identity costume. Is it bad? No, if one is identified
with any of these or other garments is completely fine with that, great. And
the big part of the society encourages us to identify with something:
nationality, religion, gender, occupation etc… Nobody wants to be “nacked”.
Sounds funny, but it is true.
The seeker who wants to know
himself/herself understands that none of the identity costumes are true for him/her.
It is only the surface, just like the clothes which we wear every day are not
who we are.
The seeker tries to find out
himself/herself and usually it comes through challenges. Without them there is
no growth.
Most likely when we face difficulties
in life we start questioning who we really are beyond our physicality. We realize
the that we are not who we are being told or we are not who we thought we are.
The body is going to die one day, that is true, if you are a mother/father,
your children will grow one day, if you are a perfect worker, you are going to retire
one day, if you are beautiful women or handsome man, you are going to get older
one day and so the list goes on… The “garments” will fade, that is inevitable.
It is also true, that nobody through
the centuries and thousands of years had answered exactly what is the true
nature of human existence. And why do you need to know that? Well, if you have
read up to this point, I guess you have some interest in YourSelf.
All answers are within us. I find
it extremely powerful to be connected to the wasteness of our Universe through
meditations, prayers and gratitude. For whatever reasons we start seeking for
help “from above”, it has the answers, it has the faith and all the help we
need at the given moment. Only if we are ready to listen to it. It may not be
direct, it may not be instant, but it is here for us.
Through my own journey of looking
for deeper meaning in life and seeking mySelf, I also realized how important it
is to shut yourself from unnecessary distractions: e.g. social media, emails,
even connections with certain people who with their various intentions not only do
not help you, but also disturb your inner peace. Send them love and do what is best for you.
Just sinking deep within every
day through meditation or silent sitting is such a beautiful way of being in a
present moment. That moment where your mind melts, your past and future has not
power over you and there is nothing but absolute unconditional Love that we all
are.
I wish you wonderful day.
I find these wonderful guided
meditations to be very powerful:
Also, writing a gratitude list every
morning or evening makes me appreciate every moment of this existence more and
more.
