Fear & Courage

After several conversations with many, many! I can say with certainty. 

Fear doesn’t understand Courage. But Courage understands Fear. 

It is futile to converse with those who have become comfortable in fear. Their walls built of fear is much stronger than those of courage.

They will fight you, hate you, mock you to stay within their walls of fear. Leave them, your journey is farther. Do not stand next to them to help, they will want to drag you into their chambers with their intelligent logic and experiences.

They have placed fear above God, they abandoned God. Let them be, your journey is farther. All praise to the Unknown. 

All Praise to the Unknown.

Brilliant and kind is secondary

In purpose and pursuit, being brilliant and kind is secondary, it will get you in but not stay with you. Additionally rather more importantly, one must be committed, intentional, disciplined and courageous. For the path continues to unfold only for those few. The rest add weight than value.  

Because in purpose and pursuit it is not the timid who survive, it is the bold, the relentless who do. Who are not afraid of defeat, not afraid of darkness, who raise again and again when they fall, because they have died once already, they are fully committed, they have unwavering rigor, it is they who force the unknown path to yield, to unfold. 

The timid and immature who don’t understand this no matter how kind and brilliant will only slow progress, merely can spectate the path forward.  For they don’t understand the agony, the struggle from defeat, the pain, the loss that was all suppressed, surpassed, fought within, from which emerges the singular focus of one’s purpose and pursuit. It’s a gnarly process the timid never have the mindset for, they cannot even sample it. The path is never easy, while there is always room for kindness, that doesn’t move things forward. Commitment does, discipline does, intentionality does and the will and courage moves the needle. In this game, Defeat is your best friend who is ready to stay any day and achievement is your lover who keeps moving away. 

Be Kind, But be More Disciplined and Intentional. Be Well.

Suffering and Joy are same to the Soul

All souls within all beings quietly rejoice in all of life’s movements, i.e. both joy and suffering. Yes. Because it’s simply here within each to experience all things. Like all the rides in amusement parks; some are fun and some are scary, and some are thrilling, all the more they are all used and present in the park. Most end up riding all kinds of rides.

Truth is the soul sees no difference between one’s joy and suffering. It simply observes experiences the magnitude of both without interference, through its presence within the body. We are only the sensor, our soul is the true experiencer and the god the unknown is the ultimate seer or observer and the final experiencer. This is a difficult truth.

This is realized in a moment or few moments because it is temporary and cannot be permanent. But when you are lucky enough to connect with your soul, in that brief moment you will immediately realize both suffering and joy is immaterial. And there is immense gratitude for your mere existence itself. That is a truly profound realization that can only be remembered after but cannot be continually experienced or sustained.

You can through strict meditation, and in extreme states achieve that reconnection and clarity again. This cannot be taught or formulated down. It can be spoken of like this, poorly! It is a self realization that anyone can attain and it is a true state. But our existential reality is the counter weight to this duality of life and understanding perhaps for good practical reasons of life. I have lot more questions too. I know it sounds ridiculous to conclude suffering and joy are same to the soul. But that’s the learning. Be well. 

to live,

Live as if death was irrelevant, like the immortals and legends.
