Light of Awareness

"A human being is a part of a whole, called by us “Universe”, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest; a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

~ Albert Einstein ~ 

I often ask myself what went wrong with humanity, is the chaotic and violent world we live in a reality we must accept without questioning? Is the path for individual and social transformation based on complaining, blaming and the maintenance of the same life style? Or each one of us should look within to comprehend what sustains our daily choices, what motivates our thoughts and actions towards life and other living beings? 

Our existence is limited in time and space. The human form comes into being with the birth and ends with the death. In between those days, there's the thing we like to call "my life". "My life" and every human being's life is the very content of the mind, the accumulation of experiences, knowledge, personal stories, memories, anxieties, fears, emotions, hope, expectations, dreams, beliefs and the perception of this content. Somehow, the content, a.k.a. movement of thought, determines our existence, shaping how we perceive and treat the world. In stepping out the idea of "my life" a new dimension arise, a perception not attached to self-motivations and interests. There's a wider living dimension beyond our limits, called Reality.  

When we bring the light of awareness to our daily choices, we make wiser and healthier decisions. Direct the light of awareness to the mind's content, so you can illuminate the structure that guides you through existence. In comprehending how the content is born and held we refine our sensibility and become aware of our inner motivations, what kind of conditioning or belief system is supporting a certain hidden pattern. Once we’re intimate of our thoughts unnecessary fear and suffering are dissolved and not suppressed anymore.

One must inquiry the pertinence of those questions and how understanding the human mind can improve life in this Planet, not ideologically but factually. One must inquiry the level of willingness and commitment present in the intention to transform oneself, not ideologically but factually.
