COURAGE IS THE HEART OF ALL VALUES - IMBIBING VALUES
HYPNOTIC TRANCE OF INDOLENCE
Life is about choices. We make poor choices, we fail miserably. When we make good choices, we succeed beautifully. If we choose to live in the past, we ruin or miss the boat of the present. And by choosing to live in the present at all times we secure the future too. Another critical factor is TIME. We have only this life, so we got to act now. Death is on our heels, we can die anytime, hence the urgency to decide right now. What is to be decided? We have to choose between, AWARE and CONSCIOUS, or unaware, and unconscious. We have to wake up from our slumber and sleep. We got to shake out from our EGOS the cover of inflated ego. We have to shed away our hypnotic trance of worldly matter and choose to be fully aware of everything around us at all times.
AWARENESS: means how much we eat, and what we eat. Do we keep on smoking and drinking without brakes? If we do then we got to smoke every cigarette with total awareness and concentration as if it is a meditation. Go slow on love making and do it with complete awareness. Love making should last three to four hours instead of ten or fifteen minutes. Then it becomes a meditation. Meditation is forced stillness INITIALLY, no mind, no thoughts. Total stillness! afterwards it becomes a NATURAL state of BEING.
FUNDAMENTAL CHOICE: DESIRE FULL OR DESIRE LESS
If we choose desire fullness, we are asking for trouble, bondage, and slavery. We make ourselves into slaves of our desires. We have hundreds of desires and there are two outcomes of every desire that you have. Either they are fulfilled or unfulfilled. A couple of desires do get fulfilled and they bring you happiness, joy for a short period of time. This creates greater greed for more desires to be fulfilled and thus the vicious cycle begins and it never ends too. Now for the other part! Most of your desires will be unfulfilled causing you to become angry, irritated, agitated, with yourself and your circumstances, situations, and people. Your sadness, anger, rejection is long lasting type. The vicious circle begins here too. Being desire full makes you greedy, jealous, atheist, hateful, and very angry.
On the other hand when we choose to be desire less, then we choose to be free, happy, and masters of ourselves. We already have what we need. We never use up 90 % of the possessions we own. They just lie there and rot. What we desire or want is not what we need. When we choose to be desire less we have positive feelings of joy, love, spirituality, abundance, and equanimity. These emotions are responsible for our good health and make us disease free.
