If we at all times, regardless of our outer circumstances, are in the core of our self then we always will be at peace. The core of our self is the true spiritual being that we are which eternally exists in the spiritual dimension. It is the one thing that we never will loose. We will always have our self. Nothing can harm it, it’s beyond the reality in which harm can be.

The astonishing light of our being blesses everyone that sees it. Be that light, it is who you are.

Being who we are is of highest importance. It’s the foundation for success in any area of life. No matter what we are trying to do or pursue it always starts with us.

All that we ever will accomplish or do comes from our being. The stronger connection we have to our selves the stronger our ability will be to do what we want in the most harmonious way.

Everything emanates from being. All that is have its roots connected to eternal existence, to the being and the source that is completely transcendental and beyond this world.

Be yourself and bless the world with your unique qualities. Success is guaranteed. It’s the top of success to be who you are.

Nothing in the outer reality can bring lasting contentment or happiness. Any person’s life is an example of this. We might achieve or get what we think will satisfy us but after a time it becomes insufficient and the search begins again.

It’s not a matter of what is happening out there, it’s all about our inner state. Our soul has much higher standards than what is found in the material world. Therefor we will never be content with what we can find here.

When we find the wealth of love and happiness within it will be radiated through us to the world. Then automatically how we see and experience the outer reality will change and match our inner state. It’s all within.

The physical creation is spirit in disguise. Spirit takes form and the world is born. The same relationship is true to you and your body. Your body is not who you are, it’s only a temporary manifestation. You are a spirit soul that exists eternally beyond the material world.

Being Lost

Without a clear connection to and awareness of our spiritual self we become lost in this world. When we are lost it’s like dreaming an uncomfortable dream without knowing it’s a dream. We live through our senses and are not aware of what’s beyond them and therefor drowns in all impressions from the material world. In this state we are stuck and are trying to get things in certain ways with the belief that it will make us happy and set us free. We are trying to change our outer circumstances when it’s our inner state that determines how we feel and how our experience will be.

Being Free

Freedom is in the spiritual dimension which is found by looking inwardly. To wake up from the uncomfortable dream we need to step out of the false identification with our bodies and our minds and realize our self beyond the material world.

When we at all times are conscious of our true self nothing in the material world can move us. Being fixed in transcendence we are living from a place beyond it and therefor it has no power over us.

Nothing is harder or more painful than loosing something we love. It could either be fame, a position, relationships, money, health or something else that matters to us. When we experience lack or loss we grieve and can’t believe why it’s happening to us. In the midst of the sorrow of loosing something we love we can’t see that it is of any good. It only feels painful and wrong. How can there be any good about it?

Liberation

The material world is bound to time. Everything in it has a beginning and an end, it is not lasting. Sooner or later we have to leave everything we have here so why not now?

Experiencing loss will ultimately push us to this realization and it will push us in a new direction. It will show us that what we are looking for is not in the temporary physical creation but in the eternal spiritual world. This is the greatest spiritual lesson we can have. Sometimes to learn the most we have to go through the most difficult lessons. Once they are passed we will feel that it was worth it. Loss is a suchlike lesson.

Loss deepens us, it makes us see from a new perspective. Many successful people have experienced a great degree of loss and sorrow because of it in their lives. It brings something to us and out of it inspiration arises. Look at the word inspiration, there is an explanation in the word itself: inspiration, in spirit. To have inspiration we have to be in spirit and that is what the lesson of loss will show to us. It will help us look inwardly to our spirit instead of only looking outwardly to the world.

To be fully liberated we need to be unattached to the material world and not cling to anything in it. Loss teaches us unattachement and helps us in our path of liberation. What seems to malefic will eventually turn out to be something benefic for us. Death is a good example of this. It is the last loss before our liberation from the material world. It might seem malefic from our current point of view but I am sure it will be of greatest good when the time is right. That is not to say that death by itself automatically will set us free. Self realization will set us free and if we are not self realized at the time of death the quest continues.

Spiritual Connections

We have spiritual connections with souls that we are together with in this lifetime. We have in many cases most likely also experienced many life-times with some of them before. To loose someone close to us is probably the most difficult loss. It is tough to say but we have to know that this is how it works on planet earth. We also have to remember that it’s temporary. The love we have for souls that we are deeply connected with will continue to be. True love will always be. It is above the temporary quality of the material world. Our lifetime here at earth is nothing compared to our eternal existence. We will have many opportunities to meet again and we are always connected through spirit.

The Lesson

Our soul never looses anything. It’s because we don’t know who we are that we experience loss. That sense of loss will ultimately push us and help us to see who we are beyond the material illusion.

There are always something good with everything that happens to us even if we can’t see it. It is as the Ying & Yang symbol; even in the dark side there are still a dot of light within it. Where ever we are the light is always accessible.

If you have something, enjoy it. If you loose something, let it go. This is the nature of the material world, it’s how it works here, it’s temporary. Look for the eternal love beyond the physical creation and you will find what you really are looking for.

Everything changes in the material world. In fact every moment is a totally new moment. Even if you have seen a flower a thousand times before, looking at it again will be a whole new experience. A child lives in this way. They live in a way as if what they are doing is the first time they have ever done it. It’s a great secret and it is true, it is the first time, always. The now is always new. That is why children are excited and happy because anything that comes to them are of interest. It means something to explore, something to experience, something to interact with, something to play with. We can live our life in this way too. That don’t mean that we become childish but it means that in the curiosity for life we become childlike again.

There really aren’t a multiple of moments, there are only one, this one. With the knowing of the constant change and newness within the now we can always change with it in a positive direction. It is our choice what to do with it.

This moment is amazing just as it is. Children are amazed about every moment, it is a miracle to them. We can also see the miracle, and we will do when we enter the now.

The miracle of life is happening now. It will always be happening now, it’s the only place for it to happen. The past and the future are also in the now, just seen from different points of views. In this moment you are seeing the now from this perspective.

Nothing exists outside of the now, there’s no outside of it, it’s all-embracing. The miracle will never go away, it will always be right here right now.

There will always be room for a negative or critical view within the material world. That’s how the material realm is, it’s fallible, but it’s only fallible until we balance it by bringing the spiritual quality to it, then it becomes whole.

We are here to balance the outer material with the inner spiritual. We do this by being ourselves and in that way allow ourselves to be channels in which the inner can manifest itself in the material world.

Our view of the world can either be negative or positive depending on our state of consciousness and how we choose to see it. Even the most beautiful house with a perfect garden and amazing views could be negatively criticised and not enjoyed. That’s how the material world is. It all depends on us. We think we are finding the joy in the material world and that’s to some degree true but it’s only temporary.

Real happiness lies within and don’t require any circumstances to be in a certain way. It’s all about our state of being, our state of consciousness. We can choose to be happy at any time. It’s all within us.

The more lost we are in the material world the more trouble we are having with finding joy and happiness because we believe we have to find it out there when it always is right here right now.

Never loose you inner happiness. Once you acquired the power to be happy and not be negative you will not loose yourself in the material world again, not even if you became a multi-millionaire.

The most dangerous thing currently present on our planet is the human psyche. Watch the news and you will understand what I mean. It’s not only responsible for the terrible chaos and dysfunction it creates on a collective level, it’s also responsible for our personal disharmony and suffering within our own life experience. The two go together; what’s on the individual level is what makes up the collective. To achieve lasting peace and happiness both individually and collectively we need to heal the root of the problem. The root of the problem is lack of consciousness resulting from false identification with the illusory mind-made sense of self. When this false identification happens our human psyche runs our life instead of we using it for what it is, a tool.

Your Mind Is a Tool

You are not your mind, it’s only a tool. As a matter of fact it’s a wonderful tool. It enables us to think, perceive ideas and decode things in the material world. We can’t live here without it, we need it to be able to put food in our own mouth, still this article is entitled “Surviving the Human Psyche”. Let me explain why.

With too much attention on our minds we are falling in the great suffering trap of humanity. We loose ourselves and drowns in the mind-made picture of how everything is. It also, and this is what’s most dangerous, makes us believe that it’s who we are. When we are at this level it runs our lives. The tool has taken control. Of course, a tool without anyone controlling it can be very dangerous.

Beyond Our Mind

Seen from the minds perspective life can be hell. It has so many beliefs that limits and thinks that it has to do everything itself. It think it’s in charge and tries to do a job it’s not designed for.

Our real self is beyond our mind. Our mind is a part of us, but it is only a part, it’s not our whole being. There are higher aspects of our being but through false identification with our mind these are not seen and are not fully channeled into the material manifestation.

How to Survive the Human Psyche

To survive the human psyche we need to step out from our identification with it. We need to transcend the mind, that means to go beyond it. It’s not that we have to stop using our mind, it needs to be used and it’s nothing wrong about using it. What we need to do is to start observing it. Observing it means that we are conscious. It means that we are stepping out of the identification and have our eyes opened which let’s us see everything from a higher perspective. This opens up a new dimension. Our dream in thought is observed and our eyes are being opened. This will let us see the world in a new light. When this transformation happens our minds will loose their grips around us and we will feel free. All limitations and false beliefs our minds are making up will loose their importance and will no longer affect us. From this free state we have the potential to be who we are and it enables us to create a life and a world we wish to live in.

It’s not always things comes out the way we would like. We maybe have good intentions behind our actions and our behaviour but even then things might surprise us in a negative way. From our part we see only that we did the best thing we could do. Most of the times this is the case, assuming our intentions behind our behaviour were to do good. Even though this is so people around us might not agree. At the time, in our state of consciousness what we were doing was the best thing we saw we could do. So don’t feel bad if this happens to you, you were to your ability probably doing the best you could do. The great spiritual master Jesus understood this when he said:

“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” (Luke 23:34)

He could see, that they couldn’t do better because of their lower state of consciousness. They believed that they were doing the best thing they could do. Even if what they were doing was wrong Jesus out of love forgave and told us to do the same.
