Lost my sense of daily living..
Have I lived up to my own expectations? NO! Have not. Am I unable, is my being unable? So it seems. It seems we are all our worst enemy. Today is an exampalary day..
Everything seems so undeserving to me.. Everything cries and bleeds, with hopeless eyes. This illusion has captured us. We are confused "what is right" "what is wrong", is there such thing. What makes you better than me.. Or better, is there any YOU or ME? Your purity, your calmness, your angelic views of life. Whose is that? Why all of this? Man what is the purpose. We are tired of analysing..
There is no such thing as inherent existence they say. Reflect on it they say. They say you dont exists, neither anyone else. The mind and body exists, but there isnt any you in it. Perception through senses exist, thoughts exists, hence conciousness.. But no U exists. Try to realise this. It currently enwraps my whole being.. I catch myself denying it. Catch myself diving into ignorance. Ignorance is the root of all suffering they say. Learn, understand they say. Abandon all that contradicts logic and experience they say. Dont believe blindly they say. Compassion is the highest good they say. How can they lie? They say everything is conditioned, impermanent. Nothing lasts forever, no happiness, no breath.. Dettach, seclude, concentrate, clear.. Dont get caught in Mayas trap they say.
Do not stress yourself, find your peace. On your own record. Slowly but surely.. they say!
And it confuses me more, makes me cry everyday. Lost my sense for daily things. Cant find myself anymore. What is this all about?

FEAR
"...these fears that fell to my lot out of every day stirred a hundred other fears, and they stood up in me against me and agreed among themselves, and I couldn't get beyond them. In striving to form them, I came to work creatively on them ; instead of making them into things of my will, I only gave them a life of their own which they turned against me..."
-Selected Letters of Rainer Maria Rilke

Wei Wu Wei
Of the many earnest, and how earnest, people we may observe reading, attending lectures, studying and practicing disciplines, devoting their energies to the attainment of a liberation which is by definition unattainable, how many are not striving via the ego-concept which is itself the only barrier between what they think they are and that which they wish to become but always have been and always will be?

MUST SEE!
For those who want to explore reality from a scientific perspective, I recommend the following Documentary Series:
2001 BBC documentary six-part series narrated by Sam Neill
"Star Stuff" - on the origin of the univers, stars and the solar system.
"Staying Alive" - the luck of planet Earth and how it could be destroyed at any moment by Black Holes, Comets and Asteroids.
"Black Holes" - the destructive force that may eventually destroy the Milky Way galaxy.
"Are We Alone?" - the possibilities of extraterrestrial life and human contact with it.
"New Worlds" - terraforming and humanity's colonisation of other planets.
"Boldly Go" - humanity's journey into far space.

1999 Harvard Graduation Speech by a Prof
Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of 1999
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.
I will dispense this advice, now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind;
you will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded. But trust me, in 20 years you`ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can`t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked, Youre not as fat as you imagine.
Dont worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing everyday that scares you, Sing. Don`t be reckless with other people`s hearts, don`t put up with people who are reckless with yours. Floss. Don`t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you are ahead, sometimes you`re behind the race is long, and in the end, it`s only with yourself.
Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this, tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don`t feel guilty if you don`t know what you want to do with your life, the most interesting people I know didn`t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don`t.
Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees, you`ll miss them when they`re gone. Maybe you`ll marry, maybe you won`t, maybe you`ll have children, maybe you won`t, maybe you`ll divorce at 40, maybe you`ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. what ever you do, don`t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either
Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else`s. Enjoy your body, use it every way you can. don`t be afraid of it, or what other people think of it, it`s the greatest instrument you`ll ever own.
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room. Read the directions, even if you don`t follow them.
Do NOT read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents, you never know when they`ll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and go, but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you`ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders. Respect your elders. Don`t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out. Don`t mess too much with your hair, or by the time you`re 40, it will look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it.
Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it`s worth.

Like attracts Like..
.. Its been a long time..
Like to share an article with you.. Easy reading..
You're a Magnet
By Stephen Pierce
When trying to understand the Law of Attraction, it's easiest to think of yourself as a magnet.
As you already know, magnets attract things. But they do it without even trying, right? It's the same for you. You attract things all the time and most of the time, you do it by default. Most of the time, you are not making a deliberate choice in what you are attracting to you. You get up, go to work, take care of the kids, feed the dog, go to bed - you go about your daily business. Maybe while you do it, you are focused on a problem that needs solved or a bad thing that happened or you are just tired or in a foul mood.
So, while you're doing that - focusing on something negative - you're unconsciously attracting negativity to you. No one sets out to attract negativity, of course, but we attract the likeness of what we are thinking about. If you're thinking about a lack of something in your life, for example, you'll continue to attract a lack, just like that magnet attracts metal.
If you consciously make a shift in your thinking, however, to something positive - like seeing yourself with abundance instead of scarcity, you will attract abundance.
The key to successfully doing this sounds a little easier than it is, but with practice, you can do it constantly and effectively. Though life will always through hardships in our way, the key to not letting those hardships stay around and keep you down is to not dwell on them constantly. When one arises, examine it briefly and then figure out how to use it to your advantage or let it go.
People tend to have habits of clinging to the bad things in life, the negative, the things we do not like - we dwell on them in our thoughts, we talk about them to our friends, we focus on what we do not like, because it bothers us.
However, by training ourselves to not cling to that negativity - to let it come up, look at it for a minute and then let it go - we are opening ourselves up and making room for the positive.
Instead of a lack, we will be open to abundance.
We won't be a magnet that is repelling all the good things in life simply because we're in the habit of hanging on to the bad.

Why is it so difficult to concentrate one pointedly?
Fixed Focus is the characteristic of the Concentration Link to Awakening.
Ceasing of distraction, disturbance, diversion, agitation, mental instability and wavering is the purpose of the quality of Concentration. Incisive certainty is the manifestation of the Concentration Link to Awakening. This stability enables breakthrough to Understanding! Some concentration is present in all consciousness. Training anchoring of attention on only 1 object condenses this focus.
The proximate cause of Concentration is Happiness!
The resulting effect of Concentration is Knowledge & Vision!
Concentration comes in increasing grades of intensity:
1: Momentary concentration with few seconds of one-pointedness.
2: Preparatory concentration of longer yet still unstable quality.
3: Access concentration approaching the 1st jhana absorption.
4: Absorption concentration with fixed mental one-pointedness.
Fourfold is the blessing of Concentration:
1: Sublime Happiness here & now through the 4 absorptions.
2: Assured Knowledge & True Vision of things as they really are.
3: Awareness & Clear Comprehension of all transient phenomena.
4: Ceasing of all mental fermentation by absence of clinging.
The Buddha once said: What mental fermentations should be overcome by development?
If one by careful & rational attention develops the Concentration Link to Awakening based on seclusion, based on disillusion, based on ceasing, culminating in renouncing relinquishment, then neither can mental fermentation, nor any fever, nor any discontent ever arise in him.
In one whose body is calm and who enjoys a pleasurable happiness the mind becomes concentrated. The Concentration Link to Awakening arises right there. He develops it, and for him repeatedly meditating it goes gradually to the culmination of its development.

Dig Deeper ///
Since we are all ONE, and we all agree at least at the Purest Level of our Being, that All is Love, then that which gives the appearance of Darkness/Shadow/Negative is merely a turning away from that which we all are.
But if we are ONE then we all have the same capabilities,thoughts and feelings. Yes there is free will however is not all somehow predestined? Given that there is destiny, then we are not being given circumstances which to choose from. Does that mean that I am what I think I am because I had no other choice? Or, does that mean that there is no destiny? Why then things happen to exact to be put aside as coincidence. It may be wisdom that we do not understand.
If you are able to realize that black/white, positive/negative, etc. are opposites of each other, a function of Polarity...which is being eliminated from this Planet and beyond...then All simply IS. What though if I am not contend with this simple solution, what if I want to dig deeper. Can we?
We are in the process of taking the knowledge, the experiences from our lives into Wisdom...so that it can be released. Since there is only Love, then judging serves no purpose other than keeping duality in place and limiting our perception. I understand that we have been imprinted with the good/bad programming, and it is a process to move from that to looking at all that happens as experience(s), neither good nor bad, most set up by our Soul to help us come to realizations, or for growth. Sounds like a computer game. We all are actors, acting upon circumstances given. Along the way we have specific skills and abilities.. When we do the right think we earn points and through our thoughts we can encash these points for a useful tool. We must know how to use the tools though. Then through different experiences we realize? So much suffering to realize what? Why do we have to realize that we have known before? Maybe we have forgotten but we knew. We were one. We were indifferent. There was no polarity. So whats the point in going through all of this?
We say that the underlying truth is love but Is not love the starting point of polarity. Love for your children. Love for your family. Love for your friends. Love for your country. Is not love attachment to something or someone? Through attachment dont we fight anything that we sense as enemy to our love. So should we love without attachment. How is that possible?

Yet clearer..
You force my thought to wander on paths towards the eternal void.
All the while, these evil times fleet by, bearing away the horde of cares
consuming time and me.
As I contemplate your peace, the soul of the warrior roaring within me sleeps***

Obsession+++
Do not be obsessive there is nothing to be obsessive about.I may have not deserved and u may wish me death in turn..
But wont you understand there never was an inquiry.
Its a mind game that tears you apart.
A hallicunation an Illusion.. Let it be..
It never was my intention wont you understand.
No falsehood no pretends. Just naked truth.
One moment at one time. And time still keeps changing..
O I know the suffering..
How it sucks every bit of your energy.
Dont hide behind your mask.
.. aus dem tiefsten meiner Seele leide ich fuer das Leiden. Vergib mir..

Peu à Peu
There is nothing I can force myself into. There must be motivation throughout. Motivation refers to the initiation, direction, intensity and persistence of behavior.
Motivation should come from within for the well fare of all sentient beings.
Easier said then done.
To help me apply this I use the 4 noble truths. Known to many but understood by so few..
1) The Existence of Impermanence
Nothing exists forever. This helps me to be more aware of how I am reacting to my experiences at all times.
2) The Arising of Suffering because of Craving.
Say you want something and you don't get it - you'd get sad or frustrated. But say you want something and you do get it. Eventually you'll get bored with it and you'll start wanting something else. And so you start all over again.
3) The Cessation of Suffering
So if you can stop this endless wanting, you won't suffer anymore. That's not to say that you won't ever feel pained or sad (or happy or ecstatic) ever again. It's just that it won't be part of an endless cycle of wanting - not getting - being sad - wanting again.
4) The Middle Way
To end eternal craving one should follow the eightfold path, which I will detail down soon.
This is for those who have only little dust on their eyes..
..and EID MUBAREK to each and everyone.
