DAY 47 - Breath enemy (1)

Life and death is only a breath away.
Why not fearlessly live and love to the fullest? Yeah!

What hurts? 

Breath hurts. 

Huh?! A breath?! A mere breath hurts?!

Yup. It can and it does again and again when one's careless.

When one's breathing out with hostility, looking out with contempts and speaking out with insults, those breaths hurt.

They hurt others and the environment, but first oneself.

One first hurts oneself in the soul with assaulting breath, in the head with contempting look and in the heart with insulting words.

This is called self-punishment. Yet instead of punishing oneself it'd be best to destroy the hostility, contempts and insults with gentleness, compassion and generosity.


Watch yourself to see when and how often that happens. It's best to obliterate your own impatience and pride with cheerful patience and honest humility. 
                                                           * * *
All human violence come about only due to one problem: one has not yet died to oneself. 


Whether or not you accept or acknowledge the reality of death, it's happening.


Once again, it's best to die to oneselft along with the breath and be fearless. 


Everytime one thinks, breathe out with the breath of gentleness.
Everytime one looks, breathe out with the breath of compassion.
Everytime one speaks, breathe out with the breath of generosity.


Then let go of the self and breathe out . . . now  into the everlasting Holy Spirit of joyous serenity.


God bless y'all

DAY 46 - SEEN vs SEING.

I'm knowing myself....
Ain't my hair cool?! It's O.K. Don't worry!
Once y'all decide to know yourself, you'll turn purple and beautiful like me too.

Knowledge essentially is looking back at the past. By nature knowledge is the past and the past is knowledge.


Yet how do you accumulate knowledge? 


- By perceiving or seeing. You can see with every sense you have. Yup, you can see with your eyes, ears, nose, tongue, skin and ultimately your soul. 


Look and see. Listen and see. Sniff and see. Lick and see. Touch and see. Breathe and see for yourself.


Nevertheless, the mysterious human soul is not limitted only to the 5 senses. There are more, infinitely more ways to see or perceive this world and the others.


So the prerequisite for the past is knowledge, for knowledge, perception, for perception, senses and senses, the soul.


- Huh?! 


Please take a breath then breathe out . . . before you continue.


The problem is your individual soul perceives this physical world through the senses and your senses in essence are unstable and most of the time, unreliable. That's why as scientists we look at the same thing over and again and again and again to the Nth times before we can dare to say we really see, and even when we say we see, what we think we seem to see is still not perfect. Hence our perception of this world is ever incomplete.


So what's the use of the above clearly convoluted observation?


- Simple, just to know oneself. Thence to merticulously watch oneself. To watch oneself in both senses of the word. That is to say, (1) to watch so one may know and  (2) to be watchful or extra careful when one's forming a mental conclusion.


Practically speaking, sadness comes from quick mental conclusions of negatively selected and perceived past events. Sadness just means you constantly live in the neg past. 


From there you project those negativities everywhere in your mind and life then decide that will be the future - your future, and hence induce worry and stress. Obsession with the future also leads to mental break down.


Basically, all the problems boil down to forgetting where and that you are in the present. Instead of rewinding and watching the already-seen past events and projecting them into the imaginary unknown future, just watch what is . . . now. 


Be in the now then all worries and stress and sadness just stop.
Be in the now then all the burden of attached past just drop.
Be in the now then all the fear of confused future just disappear.


Be now in your breathing . . . . 
Be now is breathing . . . . 
Be now is breathing . . . . out into the pleasant presence of the Most Holy Spirit of infectious joy and passionate peace. I like that! 


God bless y'all. 

DAY 45 - The Mysterious You.

Hold your horses. There's only one of me and two of you . . . Take it easy!

"You" are mysterious. 


"You" have the capability to be in many worlds at the same time and in many time periods of the same world.


- Hmm!?


Yep, look and see. 


You, yes, you yourself are in both worlds at the same time. You're in the physical world, which is your body and simultaneously in the spiritual world, which is your soul. 


On the other hand, you know up to now "you" have been living in different time periods of the same world. You're born, grown up, get old and then you die. Yet "you" are always "you." Even when you move on to a new world or new reality, you still remain "you."


So "you" are mysterious.


Even more mysterious is the law that governs you. Yep! There are mysterious principles which guide and protect you. 


For instance, the law of the past and future. The future lies in the will. Individual and community's will create the particular future in this world and the divine will creates a complete and comprehensive future in the all-encompassing world. 


Whereas the past lies in the mind or knowledge. It's knowledge that creates the past. Isn't it so?!


- Huh?!


Without knowledge you have no past. For instance, do the words you're reading on this screen right now know they have a past? Or the PC or Laptop or phone you're using to read this blog knows it has a personal history?! 


You know the two (2) above mentioned questions are rhetorical. They portray a point, that is to say, without knowledge or consciousness you have no past. So the past, or rather your past history always involves knowledge. 


So what does this mean?!


It means "you" are capable of being in and creating the past and the future. Aren't you glad now?!


But what is most important does not lies in the capability to be and create the past and future, nor in the knowledge of the past and future. Rather it is "being in the present." 


In fact, all is in the present. Your past was once your present and your future also is now, for you don't live in the future but now!


So how do you stay in the now?!


You already know how. Simple, just breathe out . . . now.


May the Breath of God, the Almighty Holy Spirit bless you with His peace, joy and compassion.


Breathe  . . . out . . . now.


God bless y'all.
