Day 493 | The Power of Imagination Makes us Infinite


As I was looking for some pictures for my previous blog posts (see Day 491 | Are You Travelling Without Moving? and Day 492 | Travelling Without Moving -part 2) I found the following image

and I really would like to address this point, also to show an example how we are mesmerized by ‘beautiful’ words and ideas, without however seeing, let alone considering, the consequences that the implications of such accepted words/ideas have on ourselves, our world, our reality.

Now let us for instance for a moment accept that ‘The Power of Imagination Makes us Infinite’. 
What happens when and as we accept such statement? 
Doesn’t that for one create the desire of ‘being infinite’, of somehow being ‘more than’ what we are, here and now? 
And doesn’t it prompt us to go ahead and use our imagination to create a ‘greater’, ‘infinite’ version of ourselves?

But does that version of ourselves really exist? 
And how much can we then truly CARE for the actuality of our reality, if most of the time we are busy in our imagination, travelling without moving?

Is it, you think, a coincidence that the religions of this world promote an ‘afterlife’ and push people into projecting their ‘salvation’ and a ‘better world’ into ‘life after death’? 
Who benefits if the PEOPLE of this world are caught up in their minds, ‘living’ in imaginative realities, separating themselves from what is here as this one reality we share?


So I’d suggest to anyone reading this now to ask yourself these/such questions and to investigate how you use your imagination and why.

Day 492 | Travelling Without Moving -part 2


image source


Continuing from Day 491 | Are You Travelling Without Moving? 

So another point that came up from my previous post is actually an interesting observation in terms of the literal meaning of the words ‘Travelling Without Moving’, and there’s two dimensions I’d like to share here:

‘Travelling Without Moving’ –
whereby the ‘travelling’ is in the context of actual, physical travelling and thus actual-physical movement BUT, have you noticed how even if we are physically moving we often remain stuck when it comes to points we are facing within ourselves /our minds.

To give an example, say you are attending school and then college or university which means you are moving in your physical reality and space-time, but at the same time there is for instance a point of anxiety or inferiority within you – in your mind and inner experience – that you are not addressing and thus even though you are moving physically and continuing with school/college, this one point will at some stage ‘reveal itself’ and show you that you weren’t able to actually really move and expand yourself;
Because for instance every time you were directly confronted with this point of anxiety or inferiority you did not want to face it and thus you suppressed/ignored it, and so the point has compounded and now your anxiety/inferiority is even greater, preventing you from being as effective and successful as you could be and would like to be.


The other dimension of the words ‘Travelling Without Moving’ would be where the ‘Travelling’ is done in the Mind / within Imagination.

We all are aware of what it is to day-dream or to just sit around imagining future scenarios and indulging in projections and hopes about how things could/should be.
Now imagine if that’s all you do – Travelling in the Mind – only thinking and wishing/imagining things, actions, situations, developments; without actually Moving physically, practically, and in fact in this actual physical world where reality is created.


So here I share these points to emphasize the importance of actual physical movement and of aligning ourselves and our living to this physical reality, dealing with and directing points in our life/world AS they come, step by step, breath by breath, point by point, instead of allowing them to accumulate and compound as consequence.
Because what exists within us AS us we are going to have to face sooner or later, so here I am saying it’s preferable to face what is here sooner than later, best even: immediately, directly; making thus sure that we do not live in our minds while we disregard/ignore reality, but that we are HERE, in every moment, with every step, regardless of where we are. Wherever we are, we are always here with ourselves, and ourselves is the only point we truly have influence on, take responsibility for and direct.


And I mean, imagine a world where every living being stands in self-responsibility and takes directive responsibility of any and all points that come up in one’s reality: Wouldn’t that be a world where reality is managed with real care, in real consideration, regard and respect, before consequences manifest?!

Day 491 | Are You Travelling Without Moving?

image source


Today I was travelling, something I quite enjoy doing, and so now I’m taking the opportunity to look at this word ‘travelling’ and looking at the sounding of it to reveal any preprogrammed connotations that it may contain.

So when I sound the word ‘travelling’ the first thing I hear is ‘try’-‘veiling’, and it’s interesting how often when we travel we kinda veil our reality and use travelling-the travel as an excuse or ‘time off’, an escape from our reality. I used to do that a lot. But then there’s also the opposite polarity, and often when I’d travel I’d have rather the feeling of being ‘more’ into reality and it makes me wonder – because wouldn’t that mean that one can get so caught up within one’s routine that one kinda misses reality?

‘Travelling without moving’ is another thing that comes to mind, that’s a song by Jamiroquai if I remember correctly, and if I look at it, the way we use our imagination is like ‘travelling without moving’, and isn’t that too a way to escape our reality?

So what’s wrong with reality? Well there’s nothing wrong with reality per se, rather there’s something wrong with our relationship to reality, and alas this may be just the point that shapes our reality into something that we feel we ‘need to escape’.

Another interesting point that comes to mind when I sound the word ‘travel’ is ‘trouble’, and that reminds me of how I’d often try and consider all possibilities and situations that may arise when-while travelling to try and control them before-hand lol, as if in a way trying to anticipate ‘trouble’ to then try to avoid it. I mean it’s a thin line between taking the necessary common sense precautions and expecting trouble as such, so here one has to look in self-honesty and see what applies to one’s own starting-point when it comes to travel.

So here are some points to ponder on, though here and now I am living the world ‘travelling’ as equal to reality, meaning: not using it to escape my reality or veil it with something ‘more profound’, no, but rather living it - using it to look at my reality from a fresh perspective, a broader perspective, and to see how I can expand my reality-considerations in practical-pragmatic ways.


Enjoy : )

411 | Spiritual Seeking & Mental Instability - or Why do we Seek THERE when we Are HERE?


ART by Matti Freeman



People who claim to be ‘spiritual’ but not religious are often struggling to cope mentally, according to this study:

They are more likely to suffer from a range of mental health problems than either the conventionally religious or those who are agnostic or atheists, found researchers at University College London.
They are more disposed towards anxiety disorders, phobias and neuroses, have eating disorders and drug problems.
In addition, they are more likely than others to be taking medication for mental health problems.
Professor Michael King, from University College London, and his fellow researchers wrote in the British Journal of Psychiatry: "Our main finding is that people who had a spiritual understanding of life had worse mental health than those with an understanding that was neither religious nor spiritual." 

The study was based on a survey of 7,403 randomly selected men and women in England who were questioned about their spiritual and religious beliefs, and mental state.
Of the participants, 35 per cent described themselves as "religious", meaning they attended a church, mosque, synagogue or temple. Five in six of this group were Christian.
Almost half (46 per cent) described themselves as neither religious nor spiritual, while the 19 per cent remainder said they had spiritual beliefs but did not adhere to a particular religion.
Members of this final group were 77 per cent more likely than the others to be dependent on drugs, 72 per cent more likely to suffer from a phobia, and 50 per cent more likely to have a generalised anxiety disorder.
They were also 40 per cent more likely to be receiving treatment with psychotropic drugs, and at a 37 per cent higher risk of neurotic disorder.

The researchers concluded: "We conclude that there is increasing evidence that people who profess spiritual beliefs in the absence of a religious framework are more vulnerable to mental disorder.
The nature of this association needs greater examination in qualitative and in prospective quantitative research."



...Well, duh, here we have been exposing this point for more than 5 years now, and I personally have written many blogs about spirituality, from personal experience, and about the obvious reasons for any religious or spiritual ‘seeking’:

-We do not want to face the reality of ourselves HERE;

-We feel that we are or the world is empty and meaningless, thus we seek for meaning, purpose and fulfilment in ‘outer realms’, never considering sorting out THIS one reality HERE to have meaning and abundance for ALL; 

-We feel ‘inferior’ but we would never admit that, so we seek something that would make us feel ‘superior’;

-We do not want to take responsibility for ourselves, our lives, and our world, thus we seek for someone or something to ‘save’ us;

-We do not want to experience, see or face the ‘negative’ within ourselves and our world, thus we make ourselves ‘blind’ and create alternate ‘positive’ realities in our minds where we can ‘escape’ the actuality of reality;

-We are so brainwashed through all the fear points about ‘negative energy’ and all the ‘evil stuff’ that is supposed to exist outside of you, thus you create the need to ‘protect’ yourself, by enclosing yourself in a mental bubble of ‘positive energy’...


...All of which is quite a problem, because, firstly – how are we ever gonna GET REAL if are constantly busy escaping reality?!
And secondly – how is this world about which we complain and which we find ‘negative’ and ‘evil’  and ‘bad’ ever gonna CHANGE if those that would normally be able to stand-up and do something about it are busy with their ‘enlightened’ self-interest?!


Now – you don’t need a study to show you that whatever you suppress will ‘grow’ and whatever you resist will ‘persist’.

You do however require common sense to see in self-honesty that everything you experience is due to your own acceptance and allowance, due to your fears and desires, which are not even your own but based on the concepts and ideas of ‘superiority’ and ‘inferiority’ we’ve all been indoctrinated by and into.

Whatever you deny and suppress is what creates your reality and your experience out of the secret chambers of your mind, so well ‘hidden’ even from yourself because you didn’t want to SEE.

Ultimately, what we fear is in fact ourselves. Does that mean we fear LIVING?

I mean, if we were actually Living, and truly placing VALUE in LIFE – we would be in-Fact doing everything in our power to make this world a place that Values LIFE!
