IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY

Seems like just yesterday when I walked through Central Park, enjoying the landscape and tranquility. But while I'm back home, I left behind all the green (the place where I live is a very arid area, with little vegetation), when I looked around me, I remembered that integration is possible, a green lung in the middle of the city!. There are many examples of integration between nature and man, not enough in my opinion (but I'm glad to know that there will always be people interested in this integration and continue to keep that purpose in the future).

This is what I'm trying to do, integrate my spiritual side to my everyday life. Continue to expanding my particular “synapse” to the ends of my being.

Spirituality in the way I see, it is a state of life, a state of mind. This state of mind at least in my case is steeped in "love", I feel is the most energy akin to my being. Funny, but again I see that everything is connected, that one thing leads to another and improving any aspect of my life, all other "facets" will improve simultaneously.

-Love is the key to acceptance and acceptance bring you love back into your life.-

(This could be extrapolated to any other thought, feeling or emotion)

SPIRITUAL SYNAPSES

Creating spiritual synapses

Since I started to work my inner world, joining points, working situations and assimilating the content learned, I created a kind of spiritual "synapses". (Leaving aside the cognitive synapses). This spiritual synapses is more subtle, barely unexplored map, some areas I start to know them, something better, especially the "acceptance". But most of the spiritual map remains a mystery, almost unexplored areas. My knowledge expands as ramifications that inevitably will connect me with new situations, especially with emotional and transcendental nature. Personally I think this kind of awakening that I'm experiencing (I do not think an enlightened, much less) is something inebitable. I'am sure that when the critical mass is reached, this same awakening, spontaneously will emerge from a along the entire planet. 

"I'm curious to know where it will take me all that."

Now I feel that at least in my case, all this knowledge is expanding in all directions equally, as an intelligent system, seeking to find the next piece I have to understand and assimilate with the highest priority.

We are all connected in some way, we are a "collective consciousness" and all the "individual" think or do, affect to a greater or lesser degree in this great "hive mind". So I try to take care of all my actions and thoughts, raising them to love, peace, and of course to the "unconditional acceptance."

This kind of network, the contrary to confuse me, inspires me confidence and peace of mind, because it is for my own good.

CONSTANTLY BLOOMING

(The picture belongs to the flower of a Lithops spp)

Yesterday after meditating for a few hours, I confirm to myself that, stop trying to control everything that happens in my  life has been the right choice, it has been somewhat liberating, I certainly feel as if I would have taken a huge weight off.

Now I am aware of what I've learned, because as I said in my previous post, "everything is a learning experience" both the good and the bad.

Since now I have the opportunity to change my attitude towards certain issues and implement what I have learned, all this work is also helping me to regain confidence in myself and prove that I can do whatever I set my mind.

Every day new challenges will arise and I will have to face them, some more difficult than others, but all surmountable.

ON MY WAY, SLOWLY BUT SURELY

Not always one gets or achieves what you want, there are days when everything is crazy and a whirlwind of emotions, a day starts great in a few minutes can turn into a nightmare. Who has not ever felt that way?.

There are thousands of reasons and circumstances that can Shoot down all your plans. Many times, however much you try to rationalize it and try to give due importance to the problem, you can not, it's as if your body and mind 

were by separate ways, your head tells you to try to relax, nothing happens and your body seems who refuses to accept his orders. Everything I say is because just the last few days something similar is happening to me. 

I have to be patient, because I'm sure I have something to learn from this experience. Also I have to keep my mind in a positive state, because otherwise it would attract more negative energy or incompatible and that's 

the last thing I need right now. I try to focus on listening to "my inner voice" to find out why I feel this way and take action on the matter.

Will be I have to rely more on myself and let it all happen as it should be, stop trying to control everything that happens to me?, Quite possibly this is a good answer to why I feel so obfuscated. I will continue going deeper

 in that response, to see where it takes me.

On my way, slowly but surely...

AMONG THE CROWD

"Acceptance does not mean that you placidly acquiesce to the myriad injustices that are all around you. In fact, that you are incensed about these injustices is the very reason you need to try your level best to 'right' these 'wrongs.' "

I GIVE THANKS

I give thanks for being alive another day, to be able to enjoy all the wonders that nature provides me. And all those beautiful things I'm finding that during the passage of the days.

 I thank also to continue working on this project and for the inspiration that gives me my "inner voice" and my other great tool, my camera, in recent months has become an extension of my body. Has been commissioned to show me life from another perspective and awaken my creativity. Without this attraction that I have to the photography I think this project would not be possible, or it will look a very dull and flat way.

 We all have ways to try to be inspired, some people meditate, others go for a walk, or while cooking some people feel that "spark" which shines brightly in their minds and makes it possible almost as if by magic, synchronize everything for a while and creativity arises, this state of peace and clarity of mind where all these amazing ideas emerge, who were buried under the amnesia which causes us daily routine.

 As I mentioned in my previous posts, this illusion that makes us feel that our lives are scheduled for the second, since we wake up until we go to bed, can be controlled or eliminated.

 But in 90% of cases, who prevents us to change that routine that we perform every day of the year, like an obligation?, nobody stopping us, we ourselves that we stuck to live this routine.

 Acceptance also means "accept" that we can all "change", that we can express ourselves and despite everything, we put the "rules" in our lives. Personally every time feel less afraid and day after day I try to be more "I" and less "they"

 Thank you all for visiting my gallery and my blog, without you none of this would also not be possible!.

ALL IN DUE TIME

"Accept and don't judge" is a phrase that comes to my head every day, I practice it every day and I feel I slowly costs much less to practice this exercise. It is so difficult to "unlearn" all these patterns that limit us and let us not aspire to be more "complete" beings, at least in my case the judge everything and everyone and always look for a guilty  I have deeply rooted in my life, that often seems to be an impossible mission, get rid of all that garbage that nests in my mind.

Lately, I feel something sensible in every way and problems thought solved resurface again, it is necessary, but the truth thereare is some days when I feel that all this is beyond me, since I started to work more deeply in my inner world, all this has been intensifying more and more, but in a way, is the price I have to pay to heal.

"I hope that eventually, my mind and soul will completely open like a rose, releasing all her perfume until reaching its heyday"

Much love to you all
