The most intrepid Journey

The world is your projection… it is and does all that you are and do

Like a shadow that follows the being perfectly. The will to raise yourself towards the higher areas of the being, to undo the knots, must be fed every day… otherwise it becomes cold and you see the reality outside of yourselves become rigid, threatening, violent.

“You climbed mountains, forded streams, crossed oceans and prayed in mosques, temples and churches, followed gurus and teachers, studied in schools and universities, created businesses and enterprises, and stumbled, stood up and walked again until you came to realise that all that which you believe you have experienced in Time is only a pale reflection of what is deeply hidden within you, something more real than reality itself: your timeless, omnipresent and omnipotent Now.”

The inner journey is a very hard, dangerous task. You find within yourself mountains, oceans, deserts, forests, precipices and abysses to overcome, wild beasts, horrible monsters and impossible battles to win just like the most arduous, adventurous expeditions on earth that only very few men have been able to face. Self-discovery is the very reason to begin such a journey, and Self-Mastery is the incredible, wonderful achievement to which every man on earth should aspire.

When pain comes, don’ t try to interpret it, don’t try to change it, or to go beyond or to be free of it. Just be totally aware of it. Pain can only exist in time. If you observe the pain very attentively, the boundaries of time will come to an end.

To be aware or attentive means to look or to listen without any interpretation, without any judgement or criticism, that means to look without all the conditionings of the one who is in pain without his fears, his anxieties, his worries, and enter into a totally different vision-dimension.

You are the only one responsible for all that happens, for all living beings, for all the good and bad in the world.

There is no one in the world outside of now and no world outside of yourself. The moment creates in all directions — 360 degrees.

Vastness, eternity and the infinite are only in this instant. Think what power -the birth of worlds, the creation of infinite generations of beings, disasters and apocalypses. All is compressed in the little eternity of this instant, in the agony of the present moment that seems to disintegrate in the past, continuously eroded, yet infinite.

You only believe in the external world and constantly fill your mind with an ocean of data -‘memories and imagination’.

You believe that planning is life.

When you are convinced that you did something yesterday, that something happened, and you remember it, it is impossible to believe that nothing really happened and that everything is happening now, here , in this instant. How is it possible to believe that the world is being created now, that there has never been a moment before nor after Now?

The pattern you have inside made of thoughts, habits, likes and dislikes is creating your entire past and future…now…in the immensity of the moment…. The past and the future are the same. One is as imaginary as the other.

Our belief system, believing in planning, eludes us that we are meeting and doing the things that we keep stored in our time-organized memory.

The thought that past and future are the same thing and that both are the projection of this instant, is a powerful thought capable of suggesting to us every step of the way what to do.

Even success doesn’t come from planning but from the instant. It is in the dream, in the absence of time that one can have success.

Success is now!

Wealth, happiness, is only ‘Now.’

Success is the absence of death and fear and can only happen in the moment. In an hour or in one month, when you are immersed in time, you’ll find all the things you programmed in this instant.

The illusion of being able to plan, the obstinacy of believing to be born, of having a past is the fall of divinity, the loss of omnipotence. We are afraid of wealth and happiness, yet they are every man’s right.

The moment is empty — a field in which to plant that which you desire. Plant the seed of well-being — of beauty. They will be your harvest. But for a humanity that thinks and feels negatively it is easier to plant worrying and fear. The world reflects and gives back weeds.

Study memory. If you observe it, you annul the power it has over you.

When you don’t make plans, when you don’t affirm memory anymore — you gain access to intuition, to dreaming.

Poetry is born.

Music and art bridge between consciousness and apparent reality.

You create words, expressions, new images. You discover that nothing exists outside of this moment. That you are alone. It is this realization that permits you to build the universe — contain it, own it.

And this is just what a top leader needs today.

“In solitude, a true leader finds solutions, decides things and overcomes impossible issues, in silence he wins battles and conflicts, and in stillness he climbs mountains and crosses oceans. His team is just an expression of his inner responsibility and it is as faithful and intelligent as his own commitment to the dream. He never asks for anything because he knows that no help can come from outside. He knows that within himself he’s got all the capacity and power to attract all the resources he needs. He knows that the only tool necessary for his success is his own inner integrity.”
