Man's Journey

Man’s Journey

The purpose of Life is to leave behind the non useful loads that you have accumulated through greed and ignorance, and to rediscover the Ultimate Reality which is “Truth”.
Do we own anything in life? If not, losses are just an illusion.

The intensive fight for daily survival in a materialistic civilization becoming more and more complex, has as consequence the loss of focus on Life’s real meaning, on its ultimate objective which is to express Love and Harmony as per God mandate.

The Earth is not yours or mine. We are not born to claim a piece of it as our sole property. Once we die, we could not take anything with us because we don’t “own” anything. National, economic, social, religious division is just illusion. The separation mentality leads to conflicts, wars and destruction. Why can’t we enjoy Life peacefully together and assist God in co-creating and expanding Life?

Who I am?

We are all Human Beings with God Consciousness Within.

Do not confuse the egoist Self who desires wealth, power, celebrity for himself at the expense of others, who seeks to satisfy his needs first without considering the harms that he may have inflicted on others, who views himself as the greatest person in the world and every one else as inferiors, who lives a life of separation and conflict instead of harmony and unity.

Do not confuse this egoist Self with the real Person that we all are. We all have God Within ourselves. He is always there, whether we remember Him or not, whether we recognize Him or not. He is the Utmost level of our Soul. When we recognize Him, we become One with Him, then We are God. Jesus Christ and Gautama Buddha have reached this level of awareness and taught us that we need to remember that We are also God.
If we don’t recognize Him and don’t remember our Divine nature, then we are this egoist Self, living in a grandiose idea about himself, fighting each others for worldly possession and for worldly power.

“Am I perfect or imperfect?” depends on “Who I Am”. And Who am I depends on “Where do I Stand”. Do I Stand as One with God, as One with my fellow human beings, as One with my brothers and sisters in Love, or do I stand as the grandiose separate Self who only knows his own worldly desires?

Your ego self is your thought, your identification with form, object, belief, possession, power… which are all impermanent. You can never get rid of it. But it will loose its power on you once you are aware of it. The entity which is aware here is your real self. In its presence, the ego dissipates.

That’s why Jesus said: “Deny Thyself”. Negate the illusion of your ego self, then you will find Him, His Presence in your heart.

Through knowing, accepting and allowing reality to BE, We become WHOLE. We are One with Life, as Jesus said: “Be ye Whole, even as your Father in Heaven is Whole”.
Freedom from the limitation of ego consciousness is mankind true achievement.
The ego needs to die for the Real Self to emerge.

The world of manifestation perceived by our five senses is a world of illusion, always changing. Our body has to adapt to this transitory dimension for physical survival.
However we need to remember that our True Self exists in the Eternal Present, outside of time and space. In this reality, under divine guidance from God Within, our true destiny is to build a new civilization based on Love and Truth, to co-create with God Heaven on Earth, Here and Now.

Sincerity, truth and presence are the foundations of fruitful and lasting relationship. Don’t use creed and fear based intellect to speculate and assume, then act upon. This will inevitably lead to separation, conflict and suffering.

God does not send us to earth to change the world. He puts us here to learn so that we would know ourselves and rediscover who we really are until we realize that we are all One, One with Him and One with the entire Universe. From this “Oneness” position, we could co-create everything with Him.

Our separate selves, our fortunes and misfortunes, our successes and failures, our achievements and non achievements, our enjoyments and sufferings, our individual possessions and worldly glories are unimportant. They are just tools to assist our learning process so that we could find our way back to our True Universal and Divine Self, which is One with Him.

The harmonious order of the world starts within the depth of our soul. There, once we truly understand the hidden immutable laws which govern the universe, right actions guided by truth and love would automatically be initiated to create new reality of life.

Harmony and order need to be first established in our soul before they could manifest in the outside world. Current conflicts, wars and atrocities just reflect the internal instability deep within us. To awaken to the sense of harmony, human has to move away from a civilization based on egoistic individual and national interests to a civilization built on love and respect of all life. This process of awakening starts within us. When we are truly conscious that we are all “One”, one with other human beings, one with life, one with the universe and one with God, then peace would reign on earth and a new heaven would be created right Here and Now.

Being alive is being aware, aware of Life in the Present moment, without the limitation screen of the ego self, to see the ultimate Truth, the unrestricted Reality.
Being alive is being connected to all Life through unconditional Love and pure Desire, which are there when the egoistic self consciousness is absent.

As we move forward on our journey, accept everything that comes without fear, without judgment, and with intense concentration and attention, make constant adjustment to the flow of Life, which is constantly changing.

Memory is personal, associated with the individual and his ego. Awareness and knowledge are impersonal.

We should refrain from judging others because any judgment made in abstraction of the judge and without full knowledge of the facts and circumstances is nonsense. We are both judge and party because human existence is at the same time individual and universal.

True Evolution

The “Ego Self” operates within the framework of time and space. It focuses on control and appropriation, on wealth and power accumulation to serve personal interest and to satify individual desire. It builds wall between man and man, nation and nation. It generates conflicts, wars and immense suffering on this temporal world.

To solve worldly problems, humanity needs to move toward absolute Truth, which reveals itself only when egoistic consciousness is dissolved. This elimination is not done by the ego self, but by the Eternity which works in every being. Free from the egoistic urge, man becomes wholly “Human”.

Our true evolution happens when we move from separate and egoistic consciousness toward Truth and Love based Universal Life on this planet.
Even most of what we see and perceive with our five senses in this illusory world are not real.

To live is to die everyday. Not to die a physical death, which is inevitable and consistent with the law of nature, but to die daily to our sorrow, our agony, our habit, our name, our possession, our worldly problem, our past achievement or failure, our relationship so that we can look at everyone and everything anew, with a young, fresh and clear mind capable of truly loving and living. When the time of our physical death comes, we will have no fear and no regret.

True Knowledge

Freedom from ego centric individualism allows us to reconnect with our Eternal Self (or the Holy Spirit). When guided by the Divine Self, we fully understand the True Reality, not by the mean of our intellect building new ideas from pre-existing concepts or theories, but by penetrating directly into the dynamic Present State of Life.

Full understanding of the Truth would enable us to comply with natural law to create harmonious Life.

True Calling

To find your true calling, dare to live and to face up-front the uncomfortable events of life, without dodging through escape and finding refuge in false and temporary comfort.
Suffering is needed for you to understand Life. It also inspires and triggers your creativity. We have to take suffering as a blessing, not as something we need to avoid and escape from.

Your ego self is your thought, your identification with form, object, belief, possession, power… which are all impermanent. You can never get rid of it. But it will loose its power on you once you are aware of it. The entity which is aware here is your real self. In its presence, the ego dissipates.

On Freedom:

True Freedom is freedom from any attachment, either an attachment to a person or an object, or intellectual attachment to a false idea, a biaised prejudice or an illusory goal.

Freedom is freedom from fear and selfish desire, source of dependencies with open doors to oppression from violent government, intolerant religion, greedy corporation, unfair economy or uncaring society. Consumer culture keeps human in bondage to powerful multinational companies and usurious financial institutions. Excessive reliance on welfare leads to dependency on governmental programs financed through unpopular taxes.

The one who frees himself from the grip of his ego self is becoming One with Universal Life. He is now the ending goal of humanity, the alpha and the omega, and this Truth is the only guide that people have always searched for thousand years immerged in their illusionary world.

True liberation is the freeing of awareness from the feeling of separation due to amplification of the ego self.

Freedom is the natural state of true human relationship, expressing through free will, free choice and unconditional love. Freedom is the essence of Life. Freedom is the manifestation of Truth.

Totally Free is the one who lives in the Eternal Present, because Life IS.

Suffering

Suffering is useful. When you have to face a deep crisis, in this moment of intense suffering, your internal light is awaken to allow you to instantaneously understand the nature and the cause of this conflict without going through rigid norms, models, values established by the fearful mind. In this sudden moment of awakening, the crisis naturally and peacefully dissolves itself.

Accept your losses gracefully and you will realize a much larger reality.
Total ignorance or full awareness cannot lead to suffering. People are unhappy because they are semi conscious, fighting to understand the true meaning of life.

Illusion

What we want the most may not be available and we have to face this reality.It would be best to take what we may have and do what is within our reach to live a worthy life.
What we don’t see or are not aware of does not mean that it does not exist or does not happen.

“A genuine relationship is one that is not dominated by the ego with its image-making and self-seeking. In a genuine relationship, there is an outward flow of open, alert attention toward the other person in which there is no wanting whatsoever… Three predominant states of egoistic relationships are: wanting (in exchange for something), thwarted wanting (anger, resentment, blaming, complaining), and indifference (when we could not get anything from the other).” (Eckhart Tolle)

Why do we want to own more and more in search of our elusive happiness? Does ownership of objects (things or people) help satisfy our longings and needs? Could we really “own” anything in life?

Everyone has a useful place, a meaningful role in life because there cannot be “this” without “that,” “here” without “there,” “before” without “after,” “up” without “down.” And nobody is more important than another person.

Everyone has complete freedom to experiment, to learn and to grow.
Why are we here? To learn and to help other people learn.

And we have to live our learning. Academic and intellectual knowledge are not enough.

Love 

Many of us confuse “Love” with “Need”. Marriage is not a Trade Agreement: “You fill my needs and in exchange, I give you my body or whatever I could offer you”. I love you BECAUSE you are just YOU, not IF you give me something that I need.

To live is to love, completely, wholly, Now.

We cannot love without dying, dying to all attachments, all possesions, all ideals, dying to the past.

So dying is part of living, and to live is to love and to die!

Buddha said: When you “like” a flower, you pluck it, but when you “love” a flower, you water it daily.

Jesus said: “Give and it will be given to you.” Because outflow determines inflow. You cannot receive if you are not willing to give out.

Freedom from the limitation of ego consciousness is mankind true achievement. The ego needs to die for the Real Self to emerge.

Love and the Understanding of Self are of far greater importance than becoming somebody in this world of manifestation.

In Love, there is no comparison, no measurement. You love all. You don’t value a student who earns an A more than the one who earns a B. When you compare B with A, you are destroying B. Jesus and other Great Teachers say you should not judge. In judgment, there is no love. Everyone on earth is on his own path of evolution. Your judgment is of no value what so ever in helping him on his path.

In Understanding of Self, there is no need for comparison or measurement either. Just see “what is”, then you automatically evolve and change. If you focus on “what should be”, you are stuck. You can’t see “what is” and you don’t evolve. Your life is becoming a serie of reactions with no action. Only action help you change and live with Intelligence.

Happiness

Why do we want to be famous and be recognized by others? Is it to flatter our ego, to make more money, or to be elected and to grasp power? If a company brand becomes famous and well known, more people would buy its products. This is understandable. But on a personal level, do we really like what we are doing? Is it more satisfying to be able to do what we love doing, but remain anonymous? Could we just be a kind and creative human being living anonymously? What is the definition of success? Has the result become more important than the action? What is really the meaning of happiness?

 Concept of Service 

We come to this world to experience, to learn and to grow. We grow spiritually by learning and correcting from our own mistakes. As we are becoming more and more aware of our True Nature which is God, our Internal Light will shine more brilliantly and we will be more and more “of service” to the world. As our Internal Light get brighter, it pushes away the darkness around us and benefits first those who are closest to us: family members, friends, co-workers, then when we come closer to the level of consciousness of Jesus or Buddha, we will be more “of service” to a wider circle.
