Kid illusions

We are two sisters, Rebecka 19 and Mikaela 21, moving away from what we´ve been taught, awakening from the materialistic world, searching for the purpose we seem to have forgotten growing up in the western society. This is a blog about being fully human, an inspiration to see beyond all beliefs, awaken from the ego, love kindness and dare to truly see and meet all the limitless wonders awaiting us.

What is moral, is it something we should strive for, that pattern of control, of being moral. Is that being good, doing well, or is it merely laziness and fear of having to take responsibility for one’s life and actions. For what is moral but a social conduct, what does it know about reality, about life, death, love, suffering and peace? It knows nothing about those things. Moral is lack of faith, it is fear and it is doubt. It is to put a label on reality, choose an illusion and stubbornly hold on to that image, thinking in good and evil, feeling safe in feeling good.  ‘

But there exist no given good or bad, only moment and action, and the action might be wise or stupid, and if we are wise we have once been stupid and if we are stupid we can be wise. We just need to be attentive, in every moment, to be, simply be, and we will become one with the intelligence of the universe, with life, death, love and all those things that are really just the same thing. We can be a little more in contact, a little wise and a little stupid, but if we start to observe, to pay attention, the stupidity will turn into understanding, and with that comes life and all that beauty which lies in the nothingness of yourself, in you not existing. To find truth you need to be like a grain of salt desolving into the vast ocean.

Conciousness is a dreamer.

Everywhere I go people ask me about my plan for life and my desired work or education. They often become confused or even irritated and disappointed when I reply that I don't want to plan my life, but I want to live it, and that I only aspire what will give me happiness and love. The answers I get is that these are a typical youth dreams, that this teenage phase will disappear as soon as reality catches up and when you grow up to realise what life's really about. However, a few days ago I came across a book written by a palliative nurse that have been recording the most common regrets of the dying and put them in her book “The Top 5 Regrets of The Dying”, and what I found was the same youth dreams that are being stupefied and rejected as “just a teenage phase”. The number one was regretting not having had the courage to live a life true to oneself, but instead living the life others expected. The following deals with related feelings like regretting having worked to hard, not having had the courage to express ones feelings or not letting oneself be happier. This shows that how we're being taught to live our lives today is in fact just the phase that will pass as reality caches up and we grow in to realise, or rather remember, what life's really about. Don't make decisions you'll regret when its too late, and live based on your own knowledge of what life's about!

A time of tension, a great time.

We're in a time of great tension. People all around the world are questioning their way of living, inequalities are becoming more visible and many are searching for the greater meaning of life. At the same time the western countries has serious financial loans and debts, socioeconomic disparities as well as youth unemployment are continuously increasing. Only this summer we have seen peoples frustration from all corners of the globe in what's been happening in Egypt, Brazil, Turkey and more. Regardless of how you choose to interpret these events, as a political awakening, a social awakening or a spiritual awakening, they are actually the same phenomenon explained in different ways. These riots are all the expression of a desire for change and the affects of a shift into a greater time on earth. So, try not to emphasize with the heavy and moody aspects of these occurrences. Explore the new, feel grateful, and welcome these changes instead of fearing them.

These are galaxies seen from the Milky Way. In these galaxies are about as many stars, more or less as in our galaxy, about 400 billion stars. One of these stars in our one galaxy of perhaps hundreds of thousends of million galaxies beyond is called the sun. It is a normal star, looking like most of the 400 billion stars in the Milky way, and it has some planets around it. The earth is one of them, and on it we live, somewhere in the suburbs of our vast galaxy, hopefully at least pondering our existence, as a very very small part of the whole, that does not know much about anything of this vastness, only using a bit more than 5% of our DNA getting on with our day to day lives, damaging Earth, this little wonderful blue dot in the vastness, ignoring the reality of life and existance.

Taking this fact to heart makes it pretty easy to leave the pity ego behind and embrace the wonder that is waiting in reality, activate your heart, your brain, your unused DNA and evolve to a being that is humble, loving and that experiences the real, grand life. I want with all my heart to be one of those, exploring this beautiful vastness of the universe and I hope that as many as possible wants to join and that we humans want to awaken after our numerous lifetimes in darkness.

From this time forth—until I become a Buddha—I shall keep, even at the cost of my life, a mind wishing to attain complete enlightenment, to free all living beings from the fears of samsara and solitary peace.

Why war, why manipulation, why killing, why extortion, why destruction, why ignorance? How can humanity break free from this pattern that has been so present throughout our history? Could some people come together to form a new way of living, to lead the way and allow others to follow them as the modern ways gets worse and worse? Or will we all have to await a catastrophe to be the outcome and savior?

I found a interesting letter from Einstein to Freud regarding this human situation, written in 1931:

The craving for power which characterizes the governing class in every nation is hostile to any limitation of the national sovereignty. This political power hunger is often supported by the activities of another group, whose aspirations are on purely mercenary, economic lines. I have especially in mind that small but determined group, active in every nation, composed of individuals who, indifferent to social considerations and restraints, regard warfare, the manufacture and sale of arms, simply as an occasion to advance their personal interests and enlarge their personal authority. … Another question follows hard upon it: How is it possible for this small clique to bend the will of the majority, who stand to lose and suffer by a state of war, to the service of their ambitions. … An obvious answer to this question would seem to be that the minority, the ruling class at present, has the schools and press, usually the Church as well, under its thumb. This enables it to organize and sway the emotions of the masses, and makes its tool of them.

Is it possible to control man’s mental evolution so as to make him proof against the psychosis of hate and destructiveness? Here I am thinking by no means only of the so-called uncultured masses. Experience proves that it is rather the so-called “intelligentsia” that is most apt to yield to these disastrous collective suggestions, since the intellectual has no direct contact with life in the raw but encounters it in its easiest, synthetic form — upon the printed page. … But … here we have the best occasion of discovering ways and means to render all armed conflicts impossible.est occasion of discovering ways and means to render all armed conflicts impossible.

Healing

"The bald fact is that with respect to cognitive liberty and the use of visionary plants, the authorities and mainstream opinion leaders in today’s societies are coming from places of fear, ignorance, and control and are standing in the way of spiritual tools and healing medicines that have remarkable potential to shift the dominant paradigm away from the primitive and arrogant assumption that we are the entitled top dogs granted unrestricted sovereignty over an unsentient planet in a soulless cosmos."
