Funnily enough, my feelings are still the same. I feel no resentment, no hatred, no anger.
For the first time in really long, possibly, I feel exactly like I should.
Yes, there was the initial momentary hurt. Yet, I feel like such a burden has been lifted. I don’t have to pretend anymore. I don’t have to suppress the love anymore. It’s there, and I’m free to feel it.
Well, the world is round......
And I’ve taken flight.
Let’s see where I land.

Ha! Finally!!
I’ve been spending a lot of time with myself lately. The ‘realisations’ come and go. They’re all consequential, some perhaps more so than others.
I’ve often been accused of thinking too much, or being too philosophical for my own good. I never had a reason for why I did it, I just knew that I enjoyed it. Today, I see why.
Having been interested in ‘spirituality’ for a while now, I’ve read lots of books, watched some videos, talked to some people. Eventually, it turns out, all the enlightened people are always saying the same thing. They just choose different ways of seeing it. And that, is actually better than all of them just saying the same thing, the same way, over and over and over again. Can you imagine how dull and boring that would be?
I was reading a book by Osho recently, and he mentioned something about reading everything 12 times. The truth of the statement eluded me, until just now. Do you realise how easy you have it? All of this information, all this ‘spirituality’, all this learning – it’s just lying out here for you on a silver platter. We have had generations after generations of men, who have sought, attained and then sought to pass on enlightenment. We are lucky, because we don’t have to read the same text 12 times. We have the same essence, in countless different bottles, waiting to be sprayed on. At a superficial level, of course, every line sounds different, and seems to have a different meaning. However, if you look deep enough, if you delve into it with all the totality of your concentration, the same message jumps off at you.
I have the easiest example, and I hope I can put it across as well as I can see it. Of course, words are, and always will be, inadequate in the expression of the most important feelings. They are but carriers of the superficiality of ‘society’. Nevertheless, I shall do my best.
The one thing that every religion, every thinker, every philosopher, every mystic, every saint has ALWAYS said, and perhaps in the simplest way possible, is – You are NOT your body. Your body is but a vehicle. The slightest means of the expression of your SELF, here on Earth.
Now, at first read, it’s a simple enough idea. Yes, we all know the body is just temporary, and blah blah. However, when you hear it enough times, when you read it enough (12 times or more :-P), you begin to see the actual true expression that was meant to be conveyed by these few simple words.
Ok, so that was the first part of my example. Now we come to part 2. Another thing, that possibly EVERY wise man EVER, and even some of the not-so-wise men have always said, and believed, something that is kind of a new-age mantra now – Follow your heart. Do what you FEEL like. Listen to your FEELINGS, not your mind.
Same as the earlier line, simple enough line. Nothing even a kid couldn’t comprehend. Yes, at the most superficial level, we all know these lines. We’ve heard these a zillion times. We know what they mean. We understand them. Agreed. You understand the message, but do you GET it?
Let’s see. Maybe if we joined these 2 ‘simple’ lines now – You are NOT your body. Do what you FEEL. Listen to your FEELINGS, not your mind. (of course, here we assume that you KNOW, that the mind, is a part of the body!)
Do you see a slight difference? A gentle shift in the meaning?
Ok, enough with the riddles. I’ll tell you, what I ‘realised’ today. What YOU feel, and what your MIND feels, are 2 very very VERY different things. Now, at first go, it seems very confusing. I know. It took me YEARS of thinking to get here! But now, you have all that spirituality, PLUS, my ‘realisations’, so you’re already one step closer!
Anyway, what YOU feel, is what you want. What the MIND feels, is just your ‘worldliness’ talking. Here, I have to morph all the messages from Ramtha, and The Secret, and Osho, and all other works of art, into one. The secret says – You ALWAYS get what you truly want.
Ramtha says- Always trust the first thought, for that is the purest. That is your true HEART.
Osho says – well, he says lots of stuff, that eludes me at this precise moment, but it boils down to pretty much the same things :-p
My point here is, if you sit and think about what you want, it WILL come to you, and you WILL know it. Of course, that “knowing” might last just a split second, or if you’re lucky, a second, before your mind takes over. Your body is your car. The mind, is the gps system/auto pilot. YOU, are the driver!
Now, the car will go WHEREVER you take it. And you have to decide where you want to go. The computer is there only to show you the way!!! If YOU want to go to your favourite restaurant, but the gps decides your final destination is your Workplace... ohoh!! That’s not good, is it??
YOU have to control the GPS system of YOUR life. Don’t let what you KNOW, or what you’ve been TAUGHT, or what is RIGHT or WRONG, control your life. Imagine you were driving, and left the steering wheel, allowing the car to take you wherever it wants, you’d almost definitely end up dead!!!
Let your HEART control you life. Let your first thought guide you, and you will ALWAYS be exactly where you should be.
I doubt I can adequately explain HOW I do this here, and I also doubt if it would help anyone but me, but then again, I’m going to try :). This is a very simple example, and I promise you, not a single bit is made up. I wanted to eat Rajmah Chawal. Since yesterday, I’d had that constant craving, nagging me. I wanted to, but I figured, who’s going to walk ALL the way to the other end of the campus to withdraw cash to order? So, I didn’t order. One whole day, I craved, but I figured, if I can’t be bothered to walk that much, I don’t REALLY want it, do i? Today evening, the craving FINALLY (Thankfully!) took over, I called the delivery people, figured I’d order, and then go get the cash. However, as I was in the middle of my call, I looked at my sidetable, and lo and behold!!! There lay some coins! I had just enough to pay the delivery guy. And we all lived happily ever after. :)
You see my point? The secret works!!! As long as you DON’t let your MIND, or your BODY get in the way, you WILL have ANYTHING that you want!!!
Cheers. :)

Simple as that...
Something I read in a book written by Osho...
Although this excerpt itself has been written by William Samuels :
"There are moments when something has to be said and nothing can be said. There are moments when tears say much more than words. There are moments when laughter says much more than words. There are moments when gestures say much more than words. There are moments when silence speaks more than words. All the laughter, all the tears, all the gestures, silences, they are contained in the second language -- the language of poetry"
Reinstates my faith in the value of simplicity.
And suddenly I recall, how easy it is, not to be complicated.......

Livin in a christmas card....
It’s 2:30 am. It is snowing.
I felt snow today. Not physically though. I FELT it. Standing outside in the middle of the night, not a soul in sight, i was watching the snow falling, enraptured. i could hear nothing, except the silence. Yet, the snow was anything but, silent. It swirled all around me, whipping this way and that, although more joyful than chaotic. It made me feel like i was in a silent movie, and i stayed, half-expecting to hear an orchestra making a grandiose statement somewhere in the background.
It’s hard to find words to explain exactly how i felt. I did wonder, however, how my hallmates could be sitting inside, completely oblivious to the fact that they were practically living in a Christmas card!!
I’d been waiting for a long time, for someone, anyone, to reassure me, to tell me that everything would be alright. Today, the entire universe conspired, i believe, just to provide me with that very reassurance.
To quote one of the more popular Christmas songs –
“ And since we’ve no place to go,
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! “
Cheers!

What a fool I am! :)
A fool is one who goes on trusting; a fool is one who goes on trusting against all his experience. You deceive him, and he trusts you; and you deceive him again, and he trusts you; and you deceive him again, and he trusts you. Then you will say that he is a fool, he does not learn. His trust is tremendous; his trust is so pure that nobody can corrupt it.
Be a fool in the Taoist sense, in the Zen sense. Don´t try to create a wall of knowledge around you. Whatsoever experience comes to you, let it happen, and then go on dropping it. Go on cleaning your mind continuously; go on dying to the past so you remain in the present, herenow, as if just born, just a babe.
In the beginning it is going to be very difficult. The world will start taking advantage of you...let them. They are poor fellows. Even if you are cheated and deceived and robbed, let it happen, because that which is really yours cannot be robbed from you, that which is really yours nobody can steal from you.
And each time you don´t allow situations to corrupt you, that opportunity will become an integration inside. Your soul will become more crystallized.

ENERGY!!!
I elucidate today, upon an idea that was introduced to me by the ‘Secret’. I lay down in bed, hoping to fall asleep to the soundtrack of this joyful discovery. Instead, i stayed up all night watching it, possibly for the zillionth time. Its meaning, however, was entirely different this time. I understood all they were saying, everytime i watched it. The point that really struck home this time was this – You are Energy.
It’s that simple. You are ENERGY. For a scientific basis here, we go to your very roots, literally. Your body is made of cells, which are made of molecules, in turn made of atoms, at the very center of which lies – Energy. There is no ‘solid’. It is ALL energy. Suddenly, everything makes perfect sense.
It makes sense that all the enlightened men have said, “you are one with the universe”. “Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust”, makes sense. The big bang makes sense. There were no solids anywhere. Ever. There still are not. A solid is just a very dense mass of energy. That’s how the galaxies were formed. Why does gravity attract us?? Because, we are the same as the earth is. It is the same energy reverberating through the entire cosmos. Of course the universe will give you what you ask for. The universe IS you. You ARE already in harmony with nature, and everything around you. You don’t need to make any efforts. You ARE both the SAME.
You don’t like your body? You don’t have to keep it!! Within a second, you can change your body, just as you choose. Of course, it will probably take some practice to first let go of all the ‘beliefs’ and ‘habits’ that have been badgered into you since your ‘birth’. But, you CAN do it. Just like that.
Isn’t that what visualization really is? You FEEL what you want. Your energy, starts to turn towards what you want. There is a slight shift in the energy around you, and voila! You have what you want!
You ARE what you think. Ever realized how true that is?? Thoughts are energy. So are you. So is your shit. So is the spoon next to you. So is the computer screen you’re staring at right now. Einstein did not use more of his ‘BRAIN’, he learned how to channelize more of his ‘energy’.
You can possibly trace everything any great man has ever said about humanity, back to energy. “You can do whatever you want.”
This is PRECISELY what the secret tries to explain. They use perhaps, more common examples, to help people relate. The point, however, still remains the same. YOU ARE ENERGY!

Wipe Your Own Ass
Dr. Frankenstein set out to achieve a modern day miracle. He created, instead, a monster that even he didn’t fully understand. I find it almost hilarious, how much this coincides with the world, as i’ve seen it in the 20 years that I’ve been here.
People go about their whole lives, twisting themselves into inextricable messes. They lie, they cheat, disrespect, embarrass, hurt, THEMSELVES. Yet, somehow find a way to pin it down on the easiest scapegoat around. The funniest part, however, is yet to come. Too afraid to look into their own selves, they start looking around for friends, mates, someone who would “understand” them. Newsflash: AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN!!!
You wake up one day, threatened by the monster you created, and what do you do? Hmm. Let’s see. Oh! You run to the world to save you. And when EVERYONE you’ve counted on fails to deliver, you blame the one person who won’t retaliate – God. Let me solve your little problem now. Answer me this – YOU created the mess you’re in, and now, it’s beyond your own comprehension. Why, I wonder, would you think that ANYONE else knows any better??
Moral of the Story : You can let the world wipe your ass, but nobody will do it better than you.

this one doesn't need a title.........
It seems to be true, what all these great people have been saying over the ages. A life without risk, is hardly a life at all. You do have the other option, of course, of squandering your life away, holed up in your tiny shelter, WAITING for life to notice you. Here’s a thought - life has forgotten about you, sitting there in your nook. Greatness does not come to those who wait. It comes, instead, to those who go after it.
A risk, by definition, is exposure to loss or destruction. So it is but natural that those who dared to venture out would suffer losses, sometimes of magnanimous proportions. Consider this, however – perhaps there is something greater waiting for you to come grab it. Perhaps the only way to be the best, is to have the courage to let go of the comfort of second best. Sometimes you need to jump, without a safety net. Security and comfort are the pleasures of those who compromise. Comfort hinders growth. As soon as a person gets comfortable, they stop striving. as soon as they stop striving, they give up their position in the race. They’re off track, and there they shall remain, as long as they’re ‘comfortable’.
The greater your risk, the greater your life will be after. And along with greatness, comes a feeling of profound peace. Not the peace that comfort deluded you with. Rather, real peace,( at the risk of getting slightly heavy here) the kind that provides you with the euphoria of finally grasping what being one with the universe implies. It is at this point, that you have everything you ever dreamed of. You are, however, also fully aware, that this is not the zenith of your evolution. Once the process has begun, it shall cease only with your last breath, perhaps not even then. It is also at this very time, that you might, perhaps, regain all that you had lost in the process. Maybe it shall be even greater now, in tune with the quality of your life.
Perhaps, the only way to achieve your dream is to let it go for a while.
If it is meant to be, nothing, not even you can prevent it.

Fix You
For once, I have nothing of my own to say.
Like I said, it's surprising how sometimes the right song hits you at just the right time.
Fix You
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home,
And ignite your bones,
And I will try to fix you,
High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Purpose in Life......
Here is an excerpt from Ramtha. It brings me joy.
To be happy and joyous is the Father's only desire for you. It is, indeed, the grandest emotional value there is. It is the greatest accomplishment in life. To have understood and become joy is the only destiny that God has given to all mankind, whatever plane they are upon, whatever understanding they have achieved. For when you have returned to a state of joy and happiness, you have returned to a state of God-for joy is what the Father is. It is an isness that is in joy at all times.
The Father has given you the power to create whatever you desire, from the vilest of things to the greatest beauty of things. He will become anything you desire him to be in your search for understanding joy. And will he ever judge your actions or the fulfillment of your desires? Nay, he never will. That is the love of Father to son, life- force to life-force. All he wants you to do is whatever it takes to be happy, joyful; for that is the only way you will come to know the Father and to be as he is.
What is joy? Joy is the freedom of movement without interruption. It is the freedom of expression without judgment.. It is the freedom of being without fear or guilt. Joy is knowing that you are creating life on your own terms. It is the sublime movement of self allowed. That is joy.
Why is joy the grandest state of being? Because when you are in a state of joy, you are in the flow of what God is. And in that flow, there is no room for jealousy, anger, bitterness or war. It is difficult to hate anyone, it is difficult to be-siege anyone, it is difficult to hurt anyone when you are in a state of joy. When you are happy and joyful, you love God seen in all things. .
In an exuberant state of joy, you are at peace with everything about you. When you are in joy with life, you cannot feel remorseful or insecure, fearful, angry or lacking. In a state of joy you are fulfilled and complete, and life, wisdom and creativity flow like a mighty river from within your being. In a state of joy, you are inspired to the heights of greatness and the depths of feeling.
In a state of joy, life becomes the fervor and intensity of a dawn when the sky is the most beauteous color of rose, the clouds are tinged with fiery red, and birds are singing in the trees. In joy, you cease to age and will live forever, for life is no longer a drudgery but a wondrous adventure that you only hunger for more of. When joy is apparent, you are at one within your kingdom of self. In a state such as that, you have found utopia.
How do you become joyful? By knowing that every moment of your life gives you the freedom and opportunity to express joy, if that is your desire. And by knowing there is nothing that is ever worth separating yourself from happiness and joy. ..and God. Nothing! And by loving yourself completely, through and through-for you love God when you do.
To be happy and joyous is the Father's only desire for you. It is, indeed, the grandest emotional value there is. It is the greatest accomplishment in life. To have understood and become joy is the only destiny that God has given to all mankind, whatever plane they are upon, whatever understanding they have achieved.

All he wants you to do is whatever it takes to be happy, joyful; for that is the only way you will come to know the Father and to be as he is.
What is joy? Joy is the freedom of movement without interruption. It is the freedom of expression without judgment.. It is the freedom of being without fear or guilt. Joy is knowing that you are creating life on your own terms. It is the sublime movement of self allowed. That is joy.
Why is joy the grandest state of being? Because when you are in a state of joy, you are in the flow of what God is. And in that flow, there is no room for jealousy, anger, bitterness or war. It is difficult to hate anyone, it is difficult to be-siege anyone, it is difficult to hurt anyone when you are in a state of joy. When you are happy and joyful, you love God seen in all things. .
In an exuberant state of joy, you are at peace with everything about you. When you are in joy with life, you cannot feel remorseful or insecure, fearful, angry or lacking. In a state of joy you are fulfilled and complete, and life, wisdom and creativity flow like a mighty river from within your being. In a state of joy, you are inspired to the heights of greatness and the depths of feeling.
In a state of joy, life becomes the fervor and intensity of a dawn when the sky is the most beauteous color of rose, the clouds are tinged with fiery red, and birds are singing in the trees. In joy, you cease to age and will live forever, for life is no longer a drudgery but a wondrous adventure that you only hunger for more of. When joy is apparent, you are at one within your kingdom of self. In a state such as that, you have found utopia.
How do you become joyful? By knowing that every moment of your life gives you the freedom and opportunity to express joy, if that is your desire. And by knowing there is nothing that is ever worth separating yourself from happiness and joy. ..and God. Nothing! And by loving yourself completely, through and through-for you love God when you do.
