Profoundness…

“Soon the child’s clear eye is clouded over by ideas and opinions, preconceptions and abstractions. Simple free being becomes encrusted with the burdensome armor of the ego.

Not until years later does an instinct come that a vital sense of mystery has been withdrawn. The sun glints through the pines, and the heart is pierced in a moment of beauty and strange pain, like a memory of paradise.

After that day, we become seekers.” ~ Peter Matthiessen

A terrific post about Wise Owls and Old Fools…

Today I read a post on intenseexperiences.com about wise owls and old fools that I highly recommend you read. Let alone that I absolutely love and am so much fascinated by the owls, but the above mentioned article goes much deeper than one might think. There are many old fools among us that are pretending to be wise owls, and when one knows how to distinguish the two, than falling as a pray to the old fools will not be that easy anymore…

Law of Attraction Cravings…

At times I really do not get it. The teachings about the Law of Attraction, and how to make it work I mean. Because of the cravings for material things – these teachings are putting you back in your mind, and these cravings are everything but pleasant. If you compare these Laws of Attraction teachings with the teachings of Eckhart Tolle, and of Frank J. Kinslow – the writer of Quantum Living and The Secret of Instant Healing among other titles – and their point regarding Awareness, and shutting down the egoic mind – than I start to see the difference between playing the game of life within yourself, or without yourself…

If you haven’t read Eckhart Tolle’s “The Power of Now,” or prefer to listen to this same book instead of reading it – here is a link to the audio’s of this book to listen for free. And I highly recommend to listen to this audio book. It will really change you, and how you perceive this world of ours.

“Inflexibility with regards to our goals can lead to stubborn behavior. Meanwhile, logic can free us from our fixed ideas. However, fear of change can also lead to reactionary behavior as we resist the unexpected. Holding on to the status quo can be useful, but only to a point; knowing when to let go is crucial…”

The above quote was on a text file for a few years, and only now it feels like the right time to post it on totally useless.

Can We Get to the Real Truth?

Totally — Wed, 19 May 2010 06:09:44 +0000

By not knowing how to get deep down to the real Truth is such a mood killer. You know – THE TRUTH? The one and only, and with no excuses whatsoever? What angered me, was the fact that two people are viewing the truth differently from one another, and claim that the real truth is theirs. How can I, or we, or you, be absolutely sure to have the real and only truth, and not the other one instead?

The thing is – we cannot choose for the absolute truth. The absolute truth would always have two sides. And the only choice that we have is to utter the less undesirable one. Or we pay the price by separating us from the part of the truth that we cannot accept.

And if we cannot get to the real truth – than what is the point of searching for a way to get to it? And if the day exists, than there is also night? And if there is good, than there is also bad? Is truth necessarily good? Or you think that the truth is bad? It always depends for what means it will be used, and by whom, and this is so frustrating…
