Chapter 6 Section five

※※※ Moments of catastrophe allow you to perceive truth as it is.Dreams are fragile, everyone is in danger, it's just that in normal times, you are asleep, you don't see it, you've been dreaming, you've been dreaming of some beautiful things in the future.When danger is approaching, you suddenly become aware that maybe there is no future, no tomorrow, and this moment is the only moment you have.Moments of catastrophe are very enlightening, they don't bring anything else new into the world, they just make you aware of the world as it is, they wake you up.If you don't understand this, you can go crazy; if you understand this, you can become sane.

Worrying is useless because it will only make you miss the moment and it will not help anyone. So the secret to transcending danger is this: to start living more fully, more fully, with more awareness, so that you can find within yourself what death cannot touch. It was the only refuge, the only security, the only security. So the question is just how to use each one.Whatever it is, you have to use it correctly. The disaster is great, the danger is great, but the opportunity is also great. ※※※ No illusion can resist the real existence, and the real existence will crush the illusion sooner or later.

※※※ The function of a father or a mother is great because they bring a new guest into the world who knows nothing but who has some potential in him.He will remain unhappy unless his potentialities grow; no parent thinks that their child will remain unhappy. They want their children to be happy, but their thinking is wrong. They want to say that if their children can become doctors, engineers, or scientists, then they will be happy.They don't understand. They can only be happy when their children become what they should be.They can only become the seed they carry within themselves. ※※※

Judgment is ugly and it hurts.You go on hurting them, hurting them, and on the other hand, you want their love and respect, and that's impossible. Love them, respect them, maybe your love and respect can help them change many of their weaknesses, and many of their failures, because love will give them new energy, new meaning, new strength. Love will give them new roots and enable them to stand up against the wind, sun and rain. ※※※ Whenever faced with a choice, we cannot choose the head against the heart.The heart is your relationship to existence, and the mind is your relationship to society.

※※※ Be happy, be happy, enjoy the fact that you are not in a painful situation, and when I say that, I have a purpose. That purpose is that you must be an example to those who have completely forgotten that life can rejoice, despite all the darkness, you can let go of the darkness, you can dance, the darkness cannot stop you from dancing, it There is no power to stop it. To me, that's real service. ※※※ If you are sad then you are wrong; if you are happy then you are right. ※※※ The mind must be trained to be the servant of the heart; logic should be used in the service of love.

Then life can become a celebration of the light. ※※※ There is an ancient proverb that says, "As above is so below." Or vice versa.This statement contains one of the most fundamental truths of mysticism, which means that there is no upper and no lower, that existence is one. Divisions are created by the mind. Existence is indivisible. Separation is our projection, and because we become so identified with separation, we lose touch with the whole. Our mind is but a small window into the vast universe, and when we keep looking through the window, the frame of that window frames the outer sky.Although the sky has no frame, to your perception, the frame of the window becomes the frame of existence.

※※※ Sometimes it's like some people who wear glasses, they put them on their nose, but they are looking for glasses, they have even forgotten to say that they can't see without glasses, so if they are looking, they must have them on Glasses. If you have been using glasses for several years, it will slowly become a part of you, it will become your eyes, you will not think that it is separate from you, but every pair of glasses will make it Adds its own color to what it sees.You are the "seeer" behind the glasses, the glasses can't see by themselves, the things outside don't have the color added by the glasses, but you have become very identified with the glasses...

Similarly, the human mind is just a tool. The glasses are outside the head, but the mind is inside the head, so you cannot take it off every day.Since you are very close to it within, that closeness becomes identification. So whatever the mind sees is considered the truth.The mind cannot see the truth, the mind can only see its own prejudices, it can only see its own projection shown on the screen of the world. ※※※ The greatest enemy in the world to truth is the learned man, and the greatest friend is the man who knows what he does not know. ※※※ We have been told, taught, conditioned that even something like love has to be a matter of the mind.

Love is basically of the heart, but our whole society tries to bypass the heart because the heart is illogical, the heart is irrational, and our minds have been trained through education to say anything that is illogical. Everything is wrong, anything irrational is wrong, only logical things are right. In our educational programs the heart has no place, our education is of the mind, the heart has been almost removed from our being, silenced.It has never been given a chance to grow from potential to reality.We are always controlled by the mind. As far as money is concerned, mind is good; as far as war is concerned, mind is good; as far as ambition is concerned, mind is good; but as far as love is concerned, mind is utterly useless.Money, war, lust, ambition -- you cannot put love in the same category as these things.

Love has a separate source in your being, and in that source there is no opposition. ※※※ A real education will not just teach you the mind, because the mind can only give you a good livelihood, not a good life.The mind cannot give you a good livelihood, but it can give you a good life, and there is no reason to choose just one of the two.Use your head when you should use your head, and use your heart when you should use your heart. ※※※ Religion, politicians, businessmen, fighters, they all want the mind to be trained, and the heart can become a disturbance, it can become a disturbance.

If you are a soldier, and if you have a heart, then you cannot kill the enemy.As soon as you pick up a gun and try to kill, your heart says, "It's as if you had a wife waiting for you--your child, your mother and father--the poor man's wife must be waiting for him; His kids, his mother and father must be waiting for his son to come home." He didn't do anything to you, but you wanted to kill him, why? To get an award from the Military Academy?To get promoted? ※※※ If you want society to become an ideal society, to become a paradise, it seems impossible, because there are so many conflicts and there seems to be no way to reconcile them. A harmonious human society is possible, and it should be possible, because that will be the best opportunity for each individual to grow, that will be the best opportunity for each individual to be himself, and each individual will be able to achieve the greatest enrichment possibility. So as it stands, society seems pretty stupid. Those utopians are not dreamers, yet your so-called pragmatists condemn those utopians as stupid, yet they both agree on one thing - society must be transformed. They both care about society and that's why they fail. In my opinion, utopia is not something that will not happen, utopia is possible, but we have to find the cause, not just the symptoms. And that reason lies with the individual, not with the society. ※※※ Man has forgotten who he really is, he has almost hypnotized himself with a certain concept of himself, which he carries with him all his life, without knowing that it is not him, but his shadow.You cannot satisfy your shadow. ※※※ No need for any war, no need for any fighting, no need for hate.Life is very short and love is precious, you can fill your life with love, with harmony, with joy, you can make your life itself a poem - if you miss it, only you have to be responsible , no one else will take this responsibility for you. It is just a matter of understanding; it takes a simple insight to keep yourself from being pulled down by those dark forces, negative forces and destructive forces. All it takes is some vigilance to dedicate yourself to creativity, love and sensitivity to make this short life a series of songs so that you can dance in your life and your death will be your The climax of the dance; so that you can live as much as you want, and die as much as you want, without complaining, only gratitude, only gratitude for being. ※※※ Everyone wants to be loved, and that is a false start. It starts because the child cannot love, he cannot say, he cannot do, he cannot give anything, he can only receive. The love that a child experiences is earned love—from mother, from father, from siblings, from guests and strangers, it is always earned.So that initial experience stayed deep in his subconscious mind that he had to be loved. But then a problem arises, because everyone was once a child and everyone wanted love equally, and no one was born any other way, so everyone is asking: "Give us love." But no one gives, because others are brought up in the same way. So one has to be very alert, very aware: this nascent accidental state should not be constantly in your head, instead of asking, "Give me love." Start giving love, forget about getting, just give; I Assure you, you will get more. ※※※ Evolution works through polarities, just like you can't walk on one foot, you need to walk on two feet, existence needs opposite poles - man and woman, life and death, love and hate - to create Impulse, otherwise it will appear too quiet. On the one hand, the opposite attracts you, and on the other hand, it makes you feel dependent.No one wants to be dependent, so there is a constant battle between lovers, each trying to dominate the other. It's love in name, but that game is politics. The man's effort is to dominate the woman, to bring her down to a lower position, instead of allowing her to grow, so her growth is always at a standstill. The emancipation of women from the slavery of men is also a freedom that men can experience. So I say the women's liberation movement is not just about women's liberation, it's also about men's liberation, and both will be liberated. The way of servitude binds the two of them together, so there is a constant struggle.A woman finds her own strategies to upset her husband, to nag him, to blow him off, and a man has his own strategies.Between these two battle camps, we kept hoping that love would happen.Many centuries have passed, but love has not yet happened, it happens only occasionally. This is the case of ordinary love, which only has the name of love, but not the essence of love. ※※※ If you ask me about love...it is no longer a matter of pros and cons working together or against each other.Men and women are different and complementary.Only a man is half, only a woman is half, and only when two people are together, in a deep sense of unity, do they feel whole, they feel complete for the first time. ※※※ The fact that men have been doing to women for thousands of years is absurd. She cannot imagine herself equal to men. She is so conditioned that even if you tell her she is equal to men, she will not believe it.It has almost become her mind, the conditioning has become her mind, she thinks she is lesser in every way, whether physical or intellectual. A man who reduces a woman to this state cannot love her, for love can only exist in equality and friendship. ※※※ If you can love without jealousy, if you can love without attachment, if you can love someone until his happiness is your happiness -- even if he is with other women and he is happy, it is It will also make you happy, because you love him so much that his happiness is your happiness.Because he is happy, so you feel happy.You will appreciate the woman who makes your lover happy, you will not be jealous, then the love becomes pure. This love creates no chains, this love just opens your heart to all the winds and to the whole sky. ※※※ Jealousy is very complex and involves many factors.Weakness is one of them, so is the egoistic attitude, the desire to possess -- not an experience of love, but just possession; There are so many factors involved with jealousy.
