Don’t Forget
Forgetting to Live, is remembering to Die. Don’t forget.
Caution: Seeking to understand the eternal
Seeking to understand the eternal, the so called universal understanding will result in the reduction of self. Read that again a few times before going any further. Yes, you will become meaningless and nothing to yourself, yet become everything. Read that a few times too.
The grand awareness and its pursuit can impede your family and worldly duties. There is no balance there is only severance of either for the other. It may be temporary, of one for the other, nonetheless impacts the same; as this will become the way of your so called family life. No one explains this dire conditioning when you begin. The ones who kept going pretty much all of them, ALL of them who came before us, abandoned their duties or their past selves. It’s inevitable but I see a slim path to overcome it, more on that later.
Also, the desire to conquer will leave, while left with inordinate strength and capability to do so. You can read people, predict or adjust circumstances, examine how things will unfold before they do. You become a war machine who seeks no war.
To understand a perfect being
This hit me actually in my sleep around 3AM today. How can an imperfect being like me, fully understand a perfect being ? And isn’t that right off the gate a wishful thinking to begin with ? In other words how can a simple finite four dimensional being understand a multidimensional universal creator ? This separation is why we are unable to discern God adequately in our lives, and furthermore the journey will always be in a gradient flow between you and the universe. This is an important fact to understand and surrender to. Seeking the truth is a flow state, like a river flowing through you to the eternal, there is flux, there is energy, but its a flow state. Calm but always flowing between two points. All praise to the Unknown.
Holding God
Holding God in your heart as you go through your day is like holding onto a shape made out of clouds. Almost impossible but always necessary. All praise to the Unknown.
The Argument; God is Minds Fabrication, is a validated theory except for a grand truth, making Gods existence irrefutable.
Of course, evolution of our kind has steadily programmed us to make sense of all things, to categorize, organize, label stuff so there are no surprises or shocks. Steady the fight or flight patterns so to speak. And certainly many can argue logically and soundly that god is a mere fabrication of the mind. Furthermore, in many observations of our human kind, may also validate this theory.
But I place one important fact front and center. The universe is no fabrication of man, it’s been there before us, and will be after us. Science only can explain the humanly plausible mechanisms of the universe at best. The frontiers of science also strongly suggests the existence of higher dimensions than the four, those living on earth are aware of. Throughout time Humanity suffers the disability to seldom accept nor understand its mere finite, infinitesimally small subset status within the universe, as such an awareness is self detrimental to the core.
Furthermore, Its breadth of understanding cannot ever intrinsically exceed this boundary condition. However and oh by grace I submit, that like a blackhole, there is a loophole; I invite you to think, that logically one only can begin to comprehend all this when extrinsically allowed or aligned. And this no ordinary feat even for the extraordinary minds, but take it from me it is very possible.
Therefore logically and scientifically speaking, God the great unknown’s existence is absolutely irrefutable, granted the interpretations of this by many and the understanding levels of this truth is highly debatable as we observe even in such amusement platforms like facebook and tiktok.
All Praise To The Unknown. Written as guided. Be Well.
empty stomach
I confess, from my personal experience I seem to easily align with God in an empty stomach than with a full one. I intend to keep it half-full or half-empty moving forward. May he permit me to stay. APTTU
Mind at Light Speed
Your Mind is the only element in your body that can keep up with the speed of light. One day this too will be undoubtedly proven; through quantum mechanics. That consciousness is quantum. But for now know that messages from God, move through you at speed of light. When and if your mind can be still, undistracted, and trained to be vigil to catch these lightnings moving through you, then only then you progress perhaps even transcend eventually. Be under the sun, observe such things to become clear. All praise to the Unknown.
All seekers of truth
All seekers of the great truth have two trials to overcome. 1.Overcome unbearable mental suffering and 2.Overcome unbearable physical pain.
These two will push you to your limits, break you beyond your known limits. Consider yourself lucky if both occur simultaneously. You will at times desire ignorance over truth. Means to numb all the pain and suffering that you are experiencing.
You will be tempted and perhaps even find the average lives lived by so many around you more enjoyable, more manageable.
And yes man can start to seek from comfort, but he will not know the depth he ought to see. But when he journeys from pain, he will know. That is the test, that is the construct to understand the dichotomy of the universe, creation and destruction. Enjoy this truth, yes laugh at your pain, Mortality is greatest equalizer. Marvel at what you conquer. It is the only way to a wholesome understanding. APTTU.
Believe in God, or not!
Whether you believe in God, or not believe in God, both are absolutely acceptable paths of life. Yes. Because God demands neither of us. God is a presence to realize not a mandate to force upon anyone nor yourself. God is a heartfelt inner surrender, not a bootcamp of or for life. People’s desire to be right, to be deemed better among others demands such petty often violent compliance, not God. God demands no recognition from no being, he is beyond all that. Only the petty fools among us demand obedience. Truth needs no words, nor tongues nor ears. Truth is ever present and ever lasting. It’s available to all, like air, like land, like water, and like the stars. It’s for all who seek. Let no fool or fools take this away from you.
We all have seen enough violence in the name of God. Humans who demand their way as the only way will use God as their symbol for obedience to them not God. God is in freedom but so is Mans wastefulness. Your intentionality, your rigor upon yourself matters, your discipline for unquestionable unbiased truth matters. Only your disciplined mind can save you from its own perils and with even a glimmer of the ever present God he can set you free towards to the everlasting truth across this modality and beyond. You will find that inner surrender and alignment towards the eternal. I have said enough. Those who understand this will find me.
To be spiritual
It’s easy, and great to be spiritual when the stomach is full, the body has all the comforts and the mind is oblivious. That’s why so many lately are awakened spiritual healers and divine beings!
Understanding is Not
“Recognizing is not Understanding, and Understanding is not Surrender.”
Let me; Recognizing the concept of god is not the same as understanding the presence of god, here we lose most people, most are unable to discern this. Religions stop many here. And next; Understanding god, god’s presence is not the same as surrendering to god. The hardest. Here we lose all including myself. All Praise to The Unknown, whom others call God.
God moves you
When God moves you, don’t be sitting around questioning it. Move with him, all else is idiotic. He can move the clouds and the sun, he can move you too.
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.
Religions
“Religions are like your mother’s favorite chicken recipe. Each a bit different, but all about the chicken. Yeah, some are vegans.” -KG
Modern spirituality is the new Narcissism
Modern spirituality is the new Narcissism. I am sure you all know someone who fits this bill. These days I don’t call myself spiritual or seek spiritual minded people. I say I am to deter religious fanatics or tease them into arguments. But I find spirituality without the practice of unwavering dharma or unconditional good deeds as a new form of narcissism in modern societies. Their selfies, yoga poses, “healing quotes”, eastern scarfs, AI designs, its degrading and narcissism written all over. If you don’t know anyone then most likely you are the one. Bottom line, If you carry ego embodied by inaction, instead of action which must emanate from the bedrock of kindness in your spiritual journey – then; a) it ain’t spiritual; for starters. And b) you ain’t journeying anywhere either. I know I am risking my internal balance by sharing this, but it has to be said. Perhaps a thorn is needed sometimes to remove a thorn. Ego is an unchecked self preservation and survival mechanism brewed in an hostile environment of selfishness, hatred and desperation. The irony is, it ends up creating the very same environment it once battled against. Spirituality starts, seeks, and ends in Silence. Forgive me for this noise. All praise to the unknown. If my heart gives in let the eternal silence take over it too. APTTU.
Mental Trap
The ultimate mental trap is when you get comfortable within it and mock others who come to release you. Gods ways are both profound and playful. He can reveal our limitations in both forms. When one holds on to his ego with a death grip, it is like the man holding onto the iron bars of his trap, while the door is wide open to walk out. Mercy be upon those like me. All praise to the unknown.
Ascension (part-2)
No matter the bond or relation, sometimes some people are moved aside in your life so your path forward is uninterrupted, and some are brought in so you may realize what you are meant to achieve, and fulfill your purpose. This is a difficult concept to comprehend, as the mind will keep reverting to what and who it knows or used
to, no matter the interference and toxicity that may keep occurring. This clarity of vision can only arise when one centers on god the unknown, and marches towards him or is still in his purpose for you, no matter how small or big it may be.
To surrender in quietude
When you permit me to pause and take it all in, including in the moments with those who surround me, and the majestic nature that envelops me. I can only be in prayer and there is this overwhelming emotion filling my eyes and heart with gratitude and surrender to you. I know not where I come from and where I will go, and I only know that I may never know, but in this moment I sense you, I tell my yearning desperate self that will do. All praise to my beloved unknown. May all sense you, around them and within them. May my loved ones too. All praise to the unknown
The incomplete pursuit of the infinite
All may understand the finite existence of all life. Therefore, one must find peace in knowing that no finite being can embrace the infinite infinitely only finitely and thereby briefly. No one before you or after you may be able to either, for that is the setting of human existence. Only some perhaps finitely understood more than others of the infinite. One must find peace in knowing that in the endless path, pursuit of enlightenment, one’s finite life may come to pass. It is never about who found more or less, it is simply who chose the infinite path knowing that their finite existence too shall pass. It is like driving a car with limited gas on an infinite road, knowing fully well you will run out of gas soon before your destination but you knew that when you started. Enjoy the trip. APTTU.
Let me
Let me be your passage and lens. All praise to the Unknown.
Define God ?
In the simplest of senses and words, God the UNKOWN is realization and alignment.
The Higher the pursuit the higher the temptation and…
This is as much a note to self as it is to the world. It appalls me that this simple yet profound truth is often forgotten. To those seekers, seekers of truth, the ultimate truths. Those who have already embarked or proclaim to have embarked on the journey. Let me be clear, the higher the pursuit the higher the temptation and challenges. ARE YOU ACTUALLY PREPARED FOR IT?. It is evident to me through several observations of others and self on many days, many pursue the Unknown (God) childishly, no I’m not talking about the innocence in their hearts. That must be pure like that of a child for the Unknown (God) sees us always like his child. But I’m talking about grown adults who wish to seek the Unknown (God), understand his glory but fail to understand he is seated in layers of revelation and understanding. HE is not a transactional being, but being in a journey like that of climbing a mountain. You have to ask how much and how far do you truly want to go. Many people’s unspoken answer is material and bodily comfort or wellbeing. For many this is why they pursue the Unknown (God) in the first place. Also, why the rich forget their moral duties because they completely forget god.
For others, its reading or understanding of others pursuit of the Unknown (God). Like reading a captivating novel and rejoicing in the thrill and excitement of it. This is the childish nature of many in their pursuit.
For instance, Hindus, read the Vedas or Bhagavath Gita or read the teachings of Paramananda and someone who sought vigorously, and they ignorantly think they have understood the Unknown (God). WRONG. Even worse, some subdue to present so called “swamis” and “gurus”, this is modern day outsourcing of this noble pursuit. Let me be brutally honest, Only the so-called swami’s and gurus’ pursuit if any is strengthened, not yours. In the supreme eyes you display laziness, lack of courage and perhaps desperation or fear nothing else.
Even in the great Upanishads it speaks of one’s own mind must pursue not just comes from a good teacher. In fact, it further clarifies as the following, The great all-knowing wise and enlightened Draviden Yama imparted to the Northern Prince Nachiketas the following “Knowledge of atman cannot be attained when it is taught by those who themselves lack in real understanding of it. And who therefore have no definite conviction of their own differ among themselves as to its nature and existence. Only he who has been able to perceive the self directly, through the unfoldment of his higher nature can proclaim what it actually is and his words alone carry weight.” And these so-called gurus and swami’s of today who claim or accept themselves to be that role are simply those who lack understanding. Now there were some in the past who understood who annihilated their ego and self for the pursuit of truth, I surmise remarkably they all came close to truth.
It is also same in other religions too, for instance in Christianity, In the Bible, Matthew chapter 21:12-13, “Jesus went into the temple of The Unknown (God), and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, and said unto them, It is written, Lord’s house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.” Relegating the thought of the Unknown (God) to Sundays is for sinners who want to continue sinning in my books. For all at minimum, you must start and end your day with the Unknown (God).
I truly wish to remind and impart this core message here, you have to reflect upon your pursuit of truth, light and the great Unknown (God) in the most honest and careful manner. And ask what is your pursuit and what for is your pursuit. It is a fallacy to think there is peace in the pursuit. It is an assumption without knowing your starting point. Your pursuit can start with purging your mind and body, it won’t be pretty, and there definitely won’t be peace in that process however long it takes. Perhaps peace may appear later but most certainly not anytime soon for those who are just starting. Perhaps you wish to mentally conquer death or the fear of death that drives most into daily survival, perhaps that’s what drove you to seek in the first place.
Ultimately only you can answer what is it you want? Are you willing to pursue the ultimate truth, the highest truth. If the answer is YES and trust me the answer will not be a yes on all days. Life for ordinary people desiring extraordinary things isn’t that easy. To even get to answering these very questions it may take years and several hardships to even answer the question honestly and with a level of sincere commitment.
Are you willing to pursue the highest. Know that the highest pursuit will come with the highest temptations and challenges. Why do you think there are monks, and monasteries, why do you think those men who some call gods never married, never ate, never wore achievements, never mingled in a society, never even lived in a society but ran away to nature. “They made painful decisions to take the easiest-path to get to the toughest journey” read that a few times! Now, ultimately if you have answered yes, part foolish part hopeful like me, know that you and I are already on the toughest-path. No! this is no challenge or penance; it is recognizing the needed ability and the readiness for the preparation of your heart. And one’s mind to seek the highest as one is to anticipate the highest temptations and challenges in this toughest THE journey, the ultimate pursuit, rather purpose of life. Only The Unknown (God) knows that for each of us. If your ego is in front of all this, then let me be clear you never started. All Praise to the Unknown.
Inaction under the shadow of ignorance
I surmise, to the unknown (god), inaction under the shadow of ignorance is acceptable while the same inaction under light of awareness is unacceptable. To my brothers and sisters, be aware of what you seek. For awareness is not meant to give you alone peace but for many through you. You are actually wishing to be a passage of light and peace not a place of storage for it. If your pursuit of awareness is ultimately selfish it will always be limited and void at the core. Iterations farewell than ignorance, pursue truth and light of and from self always. All praise to the unknown.
a truth
The truth is theres more than one way to arrive at truth. For instance, through thorough objective reasoning, honest self-reflection, through a trusted teacher, and through learning ancient texts, and practicing ancient and time tested techniques. But what most won’t reveal easily is this- All truth in this world is connected, and governed by the ultimate truth of this universe. APTTU.
Eyes Closed
Whether in your favorite temple or at a church or in a monastery or at the mosque. Whether on a serene mountain cliff, or at sunrise by the river or by the teal shores. You always close your eyes to pray, even before your consciousness began, your soul knew the truth – To Look Within, while pausing the sensory. You intuitively look inward to seek god the unknown, who resides quietly within you, you gently calm down to seek inward. You open your eyes to give thanks to the world and the people before you, but you always close to seek, to pray, to meditate. Places of worship and peace are mere respites to remind you to seek within. Now you know. Humbly shared as received. I give Thanks. APTTU.
Perfect from imperfect
If god the unknown gave you only perfect things. You will not understand perfect nor imperfect. But if you are given imperfect things you will understand imperfect and perfect. And most importantly, you will realize how perfect the imperfect things are. APTTU.
Needs Practice
Everything in life needs practice. Walking needs practice, sleeping needs practice, breathing needs practice. God needs practice. Not because God needs practice but You need practice of God. And practice God above all else. APTTU.
Wants nothing from you
The unknown (god) wants nothing from you, no sacrifices, no rituals, no prayers, no commitments, no temples, no statues, no songs, no chants, no ceremonies, no religious frameworks, not even a thanks. For nothing that is humanly possible can near the unknown. But simply be with the unknown, be in the unknown. Allow your heart and mind to be filled with the unknown, the trees have, the birds have, the skies have, mother earth has. Allow yourself to be filled with gratitude, grace and peace, there is guidance there, there will lie a path for you, you will not lead but be lead. I hope you experience it. You will discard you as much as you can, feel the blessing that was always waiting for you, for you doesn’t exist. And that will do. APTTU
Root
“Flowers will get admired, celebrated and get a lot of buzz, even give people fond memories. Whereas, the dark brown roots will always be ignored, expected to be in dirt, in the dark and dig deep. Thats human fallacy. But when the roots die, the tree falls” – Root. Buddha didn’t just sit under a tree but he sat on top of its roots as its grounded crown prince. Rain or Shine roots are the deep Divine.
Unknown presence in my wander
I asked the unknown, how come you are with me when I’m at peace and not when I’m troubled. You are with me when I’m calm and not when i’m desperate. You are with me when I’m not in pain or when I’m suffering. You are never with me when I needed you the most…….unknown smilingly replied…..You were at peace because you surrendered to me, you were calm because you put me first above all else, You felt no pain because you were within me. Just be with me. 🙏APTTU. APTTU.
Abandon and Surrender
Desire in anything including work or job can engulf you and while you maybe lost in it, reveling in your sense of duty. Such pride is also shallow. You are also lost in time and with the unknown. Only in the unknown can you be found, all else are traps for the mind. Yogis and Monks understood this ; permitted only the menial labors for the body to avail while the mind stays focused in the unknown. A day after writing this, the following random message appeared on my feed. Now I have to read the Baghvat Gita. APTTU.
Unlocking minds capacity
A mind free of sin malice and desire is a useful mind with the capacity for a noble cause.
In every moment
How often you think of the unknown in your daily mundane moments, and through gratefulness for joy, and peace matters more than when you seek him in troubled or unsettling times. APTTU. We rush to ask, but slow to give. We rush to ask for everything but slow to give thanks for whats given. APTTU. Forgive me for I wander like a child learning to walk.
Why should i matter
Why should i matter, why should my prayer be any more than someone else’s ? why should i and mine be saved and not someone else? my life is no more significant than any other human life on this planet, in-fact no more significant than any other life on the planet, yet i hear so many tragedies so many times hence i ask, the unknown why should i matter to you, even this thought screams ego to me, forgive me im a mortal. Why have you kept me here for, am i fulfilling your command laid for me, i ask not in fear but in surrender. With a growing doubt and the confusion of my ignorance while taking in all the profound human sadness as an alert observer on earth. can i help change course of this planet, will i be a grain in the soil for a seed you plant tomorrow ? Will me to do what i’m kept to do, allow me to understand the slightest hint if humanly possible, let me see, in you there is no suffering while i’m a fool a prisoner of this body and time. And while pain may consume me, spare me a space within all this of your awareness, to reside momentarily in my random existence. APTTU. APTTU.
is always speaking
The unknown (God) is always speaking, we are not listening. In the valley of humility without ego, it’s heard comfortingly around. APTTU.

Spiritual Shortsightedness
-The Desire for “Gurus” – Part1
I always wondered why so many kind beautiful minds stop too prematurely in their quest and settle for so called “gurus”.
Gurus are the anxious minds fixture insert to fill a growing void. So called “Gurus” provide a hatch for these innocent troubled minds to close the void. With ashrams, persuasive speeches and rituals. Its a trance set forth that many get ignorantly trapped. It buys time away from their daily drama and hardships. But it actually takes away their time, for many-their lives are poured into the words of a single beings’ reflections, which is far from their own self’s awareness. It’s no different than taking pain killers giving momentary reprieve as you never were cured of the issue causing pain, and if you stop taking the pain returns. Such is the survival traps of such gurus and their programs. Its sort of like spiritual outsourcing. Think about it we outsource almost all of the things we use, these gurus are such outsourcing of a mind’s ultimate quest. Jiddu K, spoke volumes on this. He was a great human being. The very nature of this setup is a mistake against the unknown. A true teacher is like a good parent, who will serve you limitlessly, to take on life, and not consume you and become the focal point. Not sit on thrones, allow to be worshipped like deities, permit rituals on themselves as a spectacle. These are sickening to even imagine but happen. They will not permit these in any way, their ego will be under check and their acts of service will speak not their indulgent self vanity celebrations. All answers the mind seeks are everywhere, its in nature, its in good deeds, its in all people. When the student is ready the true and only teacher will appear. Be well. All Praise To The Unknown.
From Unexpected Experiences
Life’s unexpected experiences, especially its hardest, ushers your heart to the biggest spiritual moments of existence. whether you choose to step in or not is up to you. And there is no right or wrong with either of your choice. Be well.

Death Is Return
Death is Return. – understanding this multidimensional meaning and then gaining acceptance of it is one of the most difficult, emotional and complex thought a human can experience in their lifetime. Its counterintuitive a runaway knowledge. Because its the deliverance of the finite from the infinite. Its the knowledge of closure, departure from thats so dearly loved and attended to. This awareness is a last principle, not a first, implying its an artifact of a conscious journey. This truth mustn’t give joy nor sorrow, but profound peace in knowing of the cycle of life, and the strip down to the nameless soul. What happens, thats later. One does not arrive to this thoughtfully alone but experientially, religion can be a bandaid logic here, for the pious it can even help heal but with misinterpretations of afterlife. Death is return, birth in every sense is Departure (later). Most find it easier to live to ignore, deny, refute and acutely suffer in the absence of this understanding. I’m no exception but…
the Spiritual Stray
Yes, its very possible for someone seeking the spiritual unknown to lose their path in the very journey, and go astray. I understand this firsthand. I cannot begin to describe my trials in this path. We must realize that its not a whenever you can journey, perhaps thats beginner level. The path is not an open wide road with exits and entrances, but rather it is like walking on tight rope above a canyon while being blindfolded. Oh yes and it can be done, as few before us have proven it to the world. But this can be initially absolutely terrifying, yet the most fulfilling path -this first and foremost requires a daily discipline and focus. The key operand here is “daily” which for those relentless eventually becomes every moment of their being. And by discipline I don’t mean a self destructive; imposing discipline, but an astute focus with sensory restraint and a proactive gentle core mind. Trust me when I say this, when your deeds are pure and you are giving your best shot given all you are faced with, you will be Led. Its very possible, and let not your illiteracy of vedas or all scriptures discourage you, that deficiency is the sin of those who came before us and their selfish failures not ours, at least not yet. you are enough and there is enough of the unknown already in you. you simply have to ‘selflessly’ (diff meaning) harness it and leverage your living to maintain it. You may also wonder don’t many roads lead to this? yes indeed, but all the paths eventually merge like a tree with one trunk and many branches and many roots to one tree. There is an undeniable convergence in this universe, the big bang is an evident illustration of this fact, but saving more on this for later. APTTU. ACTTU.
The completeness of faith in God/Unknown?
Why many cannot come to grips with this and those few who do….well. Regarding faith, you must understand that there cannot be asks, queries and prayers in faith, as it is the complete unquestionable surrender of one’s self. And the truth is; upon that surrender outcomes and experiences become irrelevant. Yes, your suffering if there is one, will become irrelevant. This is also where a religion’s ceiling lies – when it doesn’t lend itself to help mankind surrender in faith. It is also the deepest fallacy of any religion because mankind has instrumentalized it into a transactional concept. we get into this cycle of – I pray for safety, I pray for my family’s wellbeing, I pray for a good career, etc, which the unknown is definitely not about. You See its like this – When the drop enters the ocean whether peacefully or violently once its in, “it” no longer exists, because its the ocean. what come of it or its state is an irrelevant question and discussion, that thought is a selfish deplorable and futile pursuit of self indulgence. But know this -the drop is in the ocean, the drop is now the ocean and the ocean is the drop. All Praise to the UNKNOWN.

“I”
What is given is soon taken, and I keep nothing, then who really am I but only a vessel. I am just a colorful veneer, a beautiful painting on something I don’t own or know. – K.G.
West vs Eastern Wisdom
I see a stark yet subtle difference between Western (excluding Indigenous) and Eastern paths to self awareness,wisdom and enlightenment alike. One nurtures the reinforcement of ego, while the other simply eliminates it. This makes one path harder and the other more preferred. It’s important to note in the ultimate path, inevitably, there is no self.
All praise to …. : )
Foundation of Spirituality
No matter ones age, the remaining innocence in his or her outlook towards life, and in their everyday moments and the purity of heart when understanding the world is the only unbiased foundation of spirituality. From which it emanates.
flesh to spirit
From being a person of flesh, I need to become a person of spirit. There are things that are vital to keep the body alive and equally important are those that keep the mind alive.
Christ
I get Christ, but not Christianity nor Christians.
Belief
One has to believe in a Creator. If there is no creator and we were just random happenings in space and time, and that’s just a total waste of any conscious life and ever more at death.
Come of it Realization
If life were to succumb to hard reality or to an unchangeable intellectual model where dreams are mere reflections of the deep unknown mind, then the face of reality would become a constant. But we see time and again that there is constant change, this denotes strongly the existence of a pure hidden pursuit in living beings which acts on an independent platform. This platform, converges into the trenches of hidden reality.
To unravel this structure one fundamentally needs time and the will or involvement to pursue it. Reality is rewritten with a constant image, an image too hard to completely cipher. An evolutionist might phrase it as a chaotic randomness that submits a strong pattern occasionally, however it is in this constant image that there lies the hidden pursuit of truth. An average human being dismisses or classifies reality into two subduable components of good and evil. It is not in every perception that the inner structure arises for exposure, only in those who are prone to openness and has the willingness to promote strong realizations, where there is no winning bargain or rewards -they can see the evidence of Truth or an essence that comes close to it. In a human mind impersonated by the name of truth but far more than it. Come of it Realization
God who resides in consciousness
God forgive me, forgive me for this forsaken path that I have taken this far,
Forgive me for I come to you in pain not fear
Forgive me for I am fooled by own and other
But hold me…
Bless me and keep me by your side
Let not the waste take over
Fill me with your purpose
Let me see my vision
Let me fill this earth with your glory
Allow me not to trespass
Let me be nimble to listen to you soft whisper that floats to guide
in those moments where I get lost
Give me your strength to protect the weak
Give me your glory to guide the brave
Give me your wisdom to walk the unsettled
Humble me when I don’t
Forgive me when I foolishly wander
Make me see your light in the day against the perils that sway in me
And your warmth in the night to rest me
Teach me your compassion for it’s the gift of the soul you sown
Accept me as yours
Remove me from the sin I walk in
Embrace me with your love
Allow me, Help me, Guide me to serve you
When the mind tries to go astray, Let your presence in me wake
AWAKEN ME
Tree of Tranquility
When the mind loses its clarity
and when the thoughts sway.
when there is rage in the eyes,
and knowledge seems a waste
When the walk has no path
and the heart with no joy.
When tears start to roll
seems like no hope……
A silence around and within
left to my own
cuddling in a faith unknown
For the world is big and bigger are my wounds
Sitting under an old tree,
asking it what does it know
when it just stood there all these years,
Sprung from a seed, now in the wood, a haven for many indeed.
Some roots crawled and some did not,
the wind blew hard, but it still stood strong
seasons played yet it stood hard.
It went through it all; yet that silence in it impresses me of all
And what it shared, the music of the leaves
like a smile of God.
It saw me and many more
lessons come in many forms.
A tree what a beauty it can be.
A silence, a hush with which is says it all
Foreword – Why Write and Publish ?
Why publish or blog all this, these thoughts, these “expressions of a conscious mind”? Why write and why publish them to all who can read and have means to do so ?
The reasons did have humble beginnings, as any one who keeps a journal or who wishes to reflect on days thoughts will understand and appreciate the need to write, document and reflect. It was pen and paper many months, but with advent of PC, why tinker with papyrus when you can add to things anytime from anywhere of the day.
But here it is on www, and that goes beyond reflection and can not be justified as mere “self” reflections, so there I was where I argued over and over with myself about the selfish nature of a publication of such sorts, and the neediness of oneself to be heard (or atleast be given the belief of being heard). Personally, I think some authors, bloggers, publishers, are just plain needy or self acclaimed pundits of knowledge which is nothing but a loud echo of ego and self vanity.
Now, for many it is arrogance and judgment that fuels the need to express into the burrows of this dark world, to correct, to steer and guide. No there is no guidance, if any there is only the road of burden for the already tired minds, in the hope of full liberation.
Why write and why publish? The very notion questions self-reformation. Self-reformation is absolutely 100% absolute. However it gleans on the outside world and our perception and senses to nourish its absoluteness, one may argue its relative-ness. It is a valid argument; however, it is in the essence and what it churns in one that makes it absolute. But even under those premises of “relative” absoluteness, there is no need or temptation to express outward, to write, to publish it openly. Is it honesty? Honesty has got nothing to do with it, period.
In many senses, I view and hope that may serve as a beacon of hope to those including me who battle the similar perceptions, visions, thoughts, bitter glimpses of reality every day and shore them to reason of refuting loneliness and gently resonate in their hearts that they are not alone in their thoughts and life.
A life rope to a stray, may be actually a hand to the visionary who stands apart, a rope that bolsters my hope as I reach out to you, to beach you ashore or at least to an island I habit in. The windows to a world of dreams and vision that rest on the shelves of time, fading yet echoing more than ever in space.
One of the reasons for writing is to free the most beautiful bird in us, our mind, its bound to fly eternally in this world free from peril but in the minds of many where it flutters its wing so gently to find more of its own. As a symbol of hope and the fine fabric that weaves our existence.
I like to leave it here, it is in the interest of our lives and of my kind it is written. Now I shall write and shall publish for the same!

The knowledge of life and the scarcity of it, among it are many caught in the transformations of reality that sways between pain and joy. It is determination that exceeds them and perseverance to endure through the dark nights and hollow days that enriches the mind and body to weather the unknown. ‘God’ is an infinite word with a limited definition on mediocre minds and unknown rest in the rest. An entity to inflict control upon the prevalent randomness, a fulcrum to open the minds in to the vastness of ones potent. A subdued form to serve the wishes and desires, all in one word. The averages have taken it to poor extremities in forms and concepts, yet even within those one can attain light if one perseveres to seek, and weather his hope to attain pure consciousness. Consciousness is a power word for a powerful existence. An existence in its lighter form can transcend time and moment. In its real form can endure the eternal. Awaken 1:1
