Life and Death

Life and Death Image

Life and death cycle…it is a process of nature. On this planet for a long time there was imbalance between life and death cycle, well, you can perfectly see this in current medical system and pharmaceutical industry, these industries in many cases don’t let beings live nor let them die, it keeps biological body in limbo not alive, nor dead, like a zombie. This state causes a lot of pain and suffering which is food for demon beings.

Demonic beings like to incarcerate living beings just to feed of their energy that includes plant, animal and human life. So what do you think slaughter houses and horrible farms are for?Well, basically just harvest suffering energy…Why do you think people now live in such a horrible houses that are like cardboard boxes, basically blocks of flats look like chicken coops? The ugly environment, trashy art, unhealthy life style creates perfect space for demonic beings and of course hell for other beings.

Humans are so far away from nature and natural life and death process. Separation from nature causes a lot of pain and suffering…The solution for the situations is, spend as much time in nature as you can be present, aware and grateful for the nature because that is your source of life, you are it, you are nature. Nature can teach you so many things,when you go to meet nature be respectful behave with it like with your friend, because you are part of nature, just be with it, be nature. Get to know nature. Where do you think ancient masters use to draw their knowledge from?

‘As above so below’ getting to know micro and macro cosmos…

Watching light particles playing in the air they are all different…even the smallest particles of nature are unique.

Human beings want to go to the same plastic surgeon to look the same…Why? Sameness seems like incarceration… a lot of human beings like to just ‘copy paste’ reality…this is like a scene from some horror or dystopia movie, tragic and comical…Did you see movies ‘Escape from L.A.’ and ‘Idiocracy’ ? The movies were quite prophetic, especially the scene from the movie Idiocracy when people watch movie and in the movie they just show someones ass for 90 minutes and it seems funny to everyone, and it even won Oscars. Have you noticed that mainstream media is that ass scene from the movie? That is why a lot of peoples attention span is maybe 3 seconds and all they can do just ‘copy paste’ crap reality. Main stream media totally kills creativity and human potential.It makes human stupid and zombie like.

Want to be wise spend time in nature. Nature teaches so many things and organic process of life and death. Maybe after spending time in nature you will loose your fears of living and fear of dying.

People understand dying as death of physical body, but it could be a death of your old lifestyle, death of habits, death of old you…Death can teach you how to be detached, how to let go and how to live life fully , because tomorrow might not come…Even scientist can tell you tomorrow doesn’t exist.There is only now.

I have been observing birds for quite few years and they are so detached, totally live in the moment. I am grateful for the bird wisdom, they are such a great masters.

Life and death cycle on the beach…the beach that stretches few miles there are so many life forms from most simple life forms as molluscs to complex life forms as whales. There is this part of beach where you can step on the rocks, the rocky part of the beach, rocks are the home of variate of plant and mollusc life, you can feel and hear how plants and molluscs breath and live, they have created their reality which seems magical like scenes form the movie ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’. Molluscs are perfect food for the birds, there are so many variety of birds, so many colours,sizes…When birds pick out molluscs from their shells, empty shells lie on the sand, some of them look like colourful easter eggs, some of them look like broken blue porcelain crockery.Shells turn into colourful sand after some time…life and death cycle, from living breathing being turning into sand ‘Ashes to ashes, dust to dust’. Death to mollusc, food for bird. It is sad that beings have to eat other being just to live…well maybe one day this will change.

There were quite few dead bodies of birds lying on the beach don’t know weather they have died from natural causes or ate rubbish that humans leave behind…so many humans are so disrespectful to life, they are so careless about their own life and other beings lives…human irresponsibility and disrespect causes so much unnecessary pain and suffering…

What causes pain and suffering? Separation from nature and consumerist life which is so unnatural for human beings. The solution, reconnect with nature, with mother earth be grateful and stop consumerist lifestyle. Yeah, shopping is not going to solve your problems. Other peoples approvals not going to make you happy it is just going to make you approval junkie.

Change

Change 4 seasons

Four seasons are one of the best representation of change on this planet. You can see how things are born, grow, decay and die. Day and night is one of the representations of light and dark on this planet.This world has beginnings and endings…

Some of the heaven worlds probably don’t have night and four seasons, they live in one season world which is illuminated by few suns. Some of the worlds are just perfect perfection where there are no beginnings and no endings. Change happens in those worlds too but different type of change. In our case we have to face light and dark also four seasons. At the moment this is the world of polarity; good and bad, nice and ugly, pain and pleasure…Sometimes you have to look at things that are not pretty because if you are going to deny their existence it doesn’t mean it is going to cease to exist, you don’t fight it either, fighting may make it stronger.

Change happens constantly if you resist change it causes you pain and in a long run this may lead you to suffering. Change could be uncomfortable and people on this planet don’t like change, by living in their box life, change is challenging for them.

Letting go is hard…

Attachment is an addiction on this planet…

Drama is very addictive drug…humans please drop the drama it is so tiring!

Human beings like to hoard, because of fear of lack and loss, or the neediness and stinginess…

It is difficult to let go of people, places, things…humans are afraid of the unknown so they cling to things that no longer serve them, even if it causes suffering. It seems known suffering is better than, unknown even if there is ‘a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow’.

For humans on this planet unknown is so scary because they have been traumatized so many times in this and previous lives. Mass media sells you fear on every corner. They do this because they want you to believe in fear and create reality for them. The solution is to switch of the TV and main stream media, oh lame stream media. After doing that you will gain a lot.

Being in a limbo state it is so hard when you don’t see a future. When things haven’t ended yet and things haven’t began yet. Mind can get caught in fear and fear clouds your mind even more.

So, how do you go smoothly through change learn mental, emotional processing, meditate, spend time in nature, be in silence, still your mind…Don’t be afraid spending time on your own, alone doesn’t mean lonely, well at least you can do what you want, nobody stops you. When you are alone you can get to know your self, you don’t have to cope with other peoples projections.

When you are still answer will come and change is going to be a natural process, can’t promise it is going to be painless…,well you could say change will push you out of your comfort zone and it doesn’t turn into suffering.

If you have nervous breakdowns during change, using alcohol, or any other addictive substances it is a bad idea because it clouds your mind even more and you can’t see clearly.

‘The only thing that is constant is change.’ Heraclitus

Zen Coffee

Zen Coffee

Every moment is unwritten story…in this case it is going to be a written story 🙂

For me making a coffee is a sacred ceremony, similar to Japanese tea ceremony. Coffee making is a special time. I like buying new coffee cups that are unique, it is sort of  fetish for coffee cups 🙂 Coffee tastes different in each cup, best cups are small and thin made of china, big cups kind of not suitable for coffee, ruins the taste of coffee. I heat the cup with hot water after few seconds spill out hot water then put coffee in the cup and then pour hot water over coffee, leave it for about 5 minutes to brew and only then stir. I don’t use any filters or machines for coffee making it ruins the taste of coffee. Instant coffee is a no no that is not real coffee, anything that is processed heavily is dead. It is very important what water you use for coffee it is best to use pure water filtered or distilled because tap water contains chemicals. In general it is better drink water that doesn’t contain fluoride you probably already know about the bad effects of fluoride, if you don’t you can just google fluoride bad effects, you get nearly half a million results.

To drink clean water is very important for your body because you body is about 70% of water, basically your body is mostly water. It is good idea to bless water before you drink it. As Dr Emoto proved how words, images, music effects water. So it is better to charge your water with positive vibes before you drink any drink water, coffee or tea. Surround drink with your hands and send love, gratitude and good vibes to a drink. Drink slowly and enjoy the taste.

When you drink water, tea or coffee after few seconds that water becomes you. Drink it with awareness, be aware , enjoy the moment. Enjoy the moment in the eternity, you are the eternity enjoying the moment.

‘Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.
Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.’ Bruce Lee

Meditation

Meditate

When you meditate you are fully awake, alert and aware. Aim of meditation is to still your mind and stop thought.Meditation is the art of letting go. Meditation teaches you to be detached. First step when you start to meditate, you are learning to focus and concentrate. Second step you are learning to control your thoughts. The very last stage is stopping thoughts. It takes quite a few years of practice to learn to stop your thoughts.

Don’t be discouraged when you start meditating and you have a lot of thoughts. Think of meditation as mind training. It is the same as training physical body, you are not going to run a marathon the same day you start jogging. It takes time, practice and dedication.

Meditation is learning to get to know yourself. Remembering who you are.

‘Know thyself’ Socrates

‘If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.’ Sun Tzu

‘Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.’ Tao Te Ching

‘Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.’ Lao Tzu

Love

LauraLeave a comment

Rose 5

So, many people are talking about love… Do they really know what love is? I’m not sure if I know what love is… This world is so entangled with fears, fear of lack, fear of loss…Fear clouds our mind…If we are constantly afraid it is very hard to see and feel love. Our huge ego, belief systems, hide love from us and sabotage the feeling of love…Our egos have so many expectations…Ego is afraid and wants to survive, ego seeks security …

So, have you been courageous enough to ask yourself a question, what love is? The answer may be, that you don’t know…Well, you are not the only one on this planet…at the moment, humans on this planet have very confusing understanding of what love is. The word love is probably the most prostituted word, humans cheapened word love, or maybe we don’t have enough words to describe the feeling, the feelings…Words are very limited form of expression, anyway…Unconditional love is synonymous to words freedom, faith, purity, responsibility, all these words are subject of it self.

Unfortunately a lot of humans on this planet understand love as having things, people, places, they want to capture everything. Why people behave like that? Because they are very afraid, there is a lot fear and useless programs in their mind.

Well, at least plants on this planet know what love is, it seems that they don’t hold negativity or maybe it is better to say that they transcend negativity, they breath in carbon dioxide and breath out oxygen.

I know at least one story that proves plants love unconditionally 🙂 and it is a personal story.

This story is about the red rose plant. One cold winters day I went shopping and decided to buy a red rose plant. This was very weird because I never buy plants and there were no plants in my apartment. My friends who know me, really would laugh at this because plants and me doesn’t really go together. Well, this sounds like an anecdote, me buying a plant. So, I got this plant and took it back home. It was pretty red rose with many flowers.

One day flowers fell of. I thought well, this is boring, now it is just leaves. After some time plant started growing a flower and new leaves. Those little leaves were shape of little hearts, so cute 🙂 I thought that this is normal for leaves to look like mini hearts but after observing plant for some time, I have noticed that only six leaves were heart shaped the other leaves were just normal shape leaves. Those six leaves stayed on the plant nearly a year. Interesting coincidence that the flower and six heart shaped leaves grew on the plant on valentines day, oh yeah  🙂 That was a perfect gift for the valentines day, a miracle 🙂

Rose l

People on this planet associate rose with love, faith, purity, divine, spiritual unfoldment. Rose is also high vibrational plant , so angels and other higher beings can speak through the plant. Symbol of red rose is often used in many forms of art, poetry, movies, literature etc.

“To be sure, an ordinary passer-by would believe that my very own rose looked just like you, but she is far more important than all of you because she is the one I have watered. And it is she that I have placed under a glass dome. And it is she that I have sheltered behind a screen. And it is for her that I have killed the caterpillars[…]. And it is she I have listened to complaining or boasting or sometimes remaining silent…”(Chapter XXI). Antoine de Saint – Exupery, Little Prince

What makes one particular plant more important than other plants, that you have taken care of it, you have nurtured it, you give attention, maybe that is love, maybe not unconditional, yet.

Well, if love is an art then it requires; the right knowledge, effort, attention, dedication.

Maybe for the most humans residing on this planet, love is only phantasmagoria, a dream…dreams tend to end, some dreams become reality…but what is real,anyway?

If you want for things to happen make them happen not just wish because otherwise it is just fantasy.

Love happens when you are unafraid. Fear is the barrier that covers love.

Transience Wabi-Sabi

First thing that comes in mind thinking about transience,Buddhist monks in their perfect ochre robes making a colourful sand mandala. It takes long time to make it, soon after it is made it is destroyed. Creation and destruction…Sand mandalas are representation of transient material life.

Creation and destruction of mandala is highly ceremonial.

I like to create my ‘sand’ mandalas not really from sand. One was created out of sea shells, very tiny sea shells…nobody can put a price tag on creation like that and now it only ‘exists‘ as photo image…

One day I have left message in the sand made of sea rocks. Of course the message no longer exist in material form, it was washed away by sea waves, hopefully somebody got the message…

med

Sea also makes wonderful drawings. Pictures are so perfect…

draw

Drawings disappear after few hours. Sea water washes pictures away…

The next day new pictures are created…different pictures.

Everything is in constant change, well if things would stay the same that would be boring.

There is this saying; ‘The more things change the more they stay the same.’ Constant and change are different sides of the same coin.

Some people say, ‘oh those lifetimes in Lemuria and Atlantis were so much nicer better and now life is so grey’. Remember the lives in Egypt they were so cool I was trying to grasp on those moments, those lifetimes although they slipped through my fingers like sand…

Yes, that might be true. As they say, ‘all good things come to the end’, yeah, but they forgot to say that bad things come to the end too.

My sea shells turn into sand and maybe one day somebody is going to make colourful sand mandala out of that sand.

shell

Make your own own ‘sand’ mandala every day, every moment, choose colours and ingredients that are best for you and makes you joyful. Enjoy things while they last and don’t be afraid to let go when it is time to do so…

Moment masterpiece

Laura2 Comments

Flower Fierworks
Every moment is art. Every moment of your life is art. Creation happens every moment of your life…right now…it happens.When you read this post these words…

You express yourself you read, I write…

The next moment you will go and do something else…you are choosing what you are going to do…free will in self expression…

How do you feel when you do something? Do you ask yourself this question?

They say its not what you do, but who you are…What are you this moment? How do you feel?What defines you?Have you ever asked yourself these questions?

Right now when I write to dogs play in the park…They are so different physically and energetically…One is so happy playing, he seems sooo innocent, the other one seems very unstable something is bothering him, he is angry…the second dog probably was adopted and previous owners abused him, he seems ‘broken’. He gets attention by doing something bad. The first dog is Labrador and the second seems like Rottweiler cross, probably bred for fighting. Labradors suppose to be good and Rottweilers suppose to be bad, isn’t it ironic?Two dogs have the same owner.

The third dog walks in the park and Labrador approaches him. Of course, Labrador is so nice and friendly, and innocent to a third dog and they about to play…Rottweiler approaches the scene and he is aggressive, he wants to do something bad, probably attack third dog. The owner was fast enough to stop it. If that Rottweiler would be human, psychotherapy, emotional processing, shadow work would be a good advice…

Next day I was walking in the park and noticed lots of feathers scattered around, not far away there was a dead pigeon. Most likely the dog killed it, because there are no wild predators in that park. You could still feel terror, aggression and destruction in that place.

Some beings create joy, happiness and others create terror, anger aggression. States of mind that you create, you live in them. If you intentionally create misery for others you live in that state of mind. Why? Because you put a lot of focus on that state of mind, where your focus goes your energy flows. If you intentionally create joy for others you create joy for yourself, because you focus on joy. That’s why the best revenge is joy.

I was observing other creatures in the park there were many birds enjoying their day.

A baby seagull was resting, a squirrel was enjoying an acorn.DSC_0824DSC_0983

You create your own reality and reality creates you all the time. You do this consciously or unconsciously. The best way to create is be conscious and aware what you create and with who you create.

I found this quote somewhere.’Art is how we decorate space. Music is how we decorate time.’ Unknown

The picture at the top called flower fireworks. I didn’t draw since school but one day I took pencils and couldn’t stop…
