BLOCKS IN THINKING


If you look back in time you will see all of those choices you made—the very choices that led you to where you are today. At each of those 'choice junctions' you probably felt as though you chose the best of the options available. But there were in fact more options – many more options – and that it was only blocks in your thinking that kept you confined.

ΑΔΙΑΦΟΡΙΑ

Αδιαφορια, ηττοπαθεια, ωχ-αδελφισμος, υποταγη.
Πισω απ' ολα ο φοβος. Που του δινει υποσταση η υλη, το στενο προσωπικο συμφερον και η ταυτιση με καλπικες αξιες.
Φοβικοι, υποδουλοι, ... ακηδες, ανθρωπακια.
Με τετοιους κραδασμους δεν ερχεται η ανοιξη. Η βαρυχειμωνια, το σκοταδι, τα δεινά ερχονται και επανερχονται σαν καταρα. Αδεια η ζωη, χωρις νοημα, χωρις ουσια. Αριθμοι, στατιστικες, λογια και επιλογες χωρις περιεχομενο.
Σε μια γη που γεννησε ηρωες, ποιητες, ανθρωπους του πνευματος. Σαν σταγονες βροχης στην ερημο της αδιαφοριας μας, στην αβυσσο του φοβου μας, στην απεραντοσυνη της ιδιοτελειας μας.

WHAT ELSE?

Someone has posted this:
"There are people who want love
and there are people who break hearts.
Shocking!
We all search for love
and they get it and throw it away"

ALWAYS REMEMBER: Love is within. So, choose to give, without expecting anything in return. Give without any 'wants'.
And if some cannot receive, if some are not interested in receiving, if they are unable to appreciate what is being offered, if they dance to a different tune, there are so many others around in need. Some will be ready to respond!
Remain open, keep walking, keep loving. :)


ΠΕΡΑ ΚΑΤΟΙΚΕΙ

Η αγάπη πέρα κατοικεί,
απ' όσα το μυαλό δημιουργεί,
έτσι, γιά να πρωταγωνιστεί.

IN LOVE!

IN LOVE!

Your so-called love is a bargain. You want to use the other person and the other wants to use you, so there is a mutual bargain -- a contract. Neither you love him, nor he loves you. He loves himself, you love yourself. You use the other, he uses you. 
 This is a kind of settlement, adjustment. You call it love. These adjustments don't go very far, they cannot go very far. Sooner or later you are fed-up with the person, and he or she is fed-up with you. You have looked into each other, you have explored each other, and now there seems to be nothing new any more. So interest has waned, love starts disappearing. Then you tolerate at the most, because of past promises, because of past commitments. You have to carry it somehow. 
 That's what happens to all kinds of so-called marriages. It is not love, it was not love ever, it was a kind of deception. And the deception is created by chemical changes in your body. It is as chemical as taking a drug. Certain hormones, certain chemicals, are released in the bloodstream and you feel an illusion arising and you start seeing things which are not there. 
 When you fall in love with you start seeing things which are not there. Nobody else is seeing them, only you. And the other person starts seeing things in you; your chemistries are helping each other. You are dreaming -- dreaming with open eyes; it is a kind of daydream. Soon it will be shattered, soon the reality will assert. 


Only after we have found ourself love is no more a need. We can be happy alone. Our happiness is as perfect alone as when we are together with somebody else. Our happiness no more depends on anybody else. Now we can share, now we can give.


MIND NOISE

Your mind goes on making noise, you look into it, you watch it: You go into its noises - they have some message for you. You go into its dreams - even if they look absurd they convey something from the unconscious to you.
Just by cutting those messages you are not going to get anywhere - because you are cutting your own unconscious. When you still your mind you are doing one thing: you are stilling your unconscious. You are saying, 'I don't want to hear.' But the unconscious has something valuable to say to you.
The whole of psychoanalysis is a proof for it, that the unconscious has something to convey. And the unconscious is more in tune with existence than your so-called conscious. And the conscious tries to force the unconscious not to say anything. But is this the silence you call peace? Boiling within, a volcano within, getting mad within? This is not silence!

MEANINGLESS

 
Sartre, Kafka, Camus -- they say life is meaningless, life has no meaning. Immediately, philosophers bubble up who say life is meaningless. It happens only when?
When there is time to think. When there is no time to think, life has infinite meaning. Small things have meaning -- to have a shelter, to have food for your children, to have clothes for your wife, when you don't have enough to survive life has meaning. There are so many essential things you don't have, and because you don't have them there is not much time to think and much meaning around you. So meaning goes on existing.
When you have more than you really need, meaning falls flat on the ground. There is so much time to think. That's what is happening when people have more. They become very bored. Boredom has settled!
Being in our minds brings boredom. Living in our minds makes life meaningless. Attention and affection give meaning to life. Attention and compassion is what we need.
