Journey To The Inner

I don’t want to brag about it, but I get this beautiful feeling knowing that Someone is watching out for me and making sure that my wishes come true.
I’m lost for words. In fact I find it looses most of its beauty if I try to put into words. It’s worth it to make the effort in order to become aware the Someone loves you!

Some time ago I read an article about Emoto Masaru’s experiments with water. He made a series of tests on water onto which were projected different thoughts, for this the took a picture of the water crystals before and after the thought was projected onto the water. Following experiments with different thoughts and sounds of music, Emoto Masaru concluded that water is influenced by the thoughts projected onto it. Positive, loving thoughts and harmonious music result in beautiful crystals, while negative, violent thoughts and music produce chaotic crystal growths. For example this crystal is the result of the thought “Love and Gratitude”.
If we take into consideration the fact the we, humans are made up of about 70-90% water, one could draw an interesting conclusion: the same laws that apply to the water on which Emoto Masaru made his experiments, apply to our bodies. This means that the nature of the thoughts we project onto ourselves as well as onto others determines the structure of the water molecules from our bodies and the bodies of the people we interact with. Harmonious molecular structures determine good physical and mental health, while chaotic structures generate diseases.
Emoto Masaru continued his experiments to furthermore prove that thoughts influence the way we develop, as in the nature of thoughts could cause an accelerated growth or on the contrary, it could impair it.
The Japanese scientist made a series of experiments on which he draw many interesting conclusions, the main idea being that we should become aware of the thoughts we generate because they effect everything in and around us.

Positive attracts negative, female attracts male, night attracts day, cold attracts warm, and so on, opposites attract. However true this is, the law of attraction doesn’t refer to this type of attraction, but to an attraction of energies. The other day I mentioned that the whole universe is made up of energy and that our thoughts actually generate mental energy. This is the basis on which the theory of the law of attraction is founded on.
In short, this theory says that the thoughts we have attract the events that happen to us. However, this doesn’t work just as you would think. If you have a thought with a negative form, for example “I don’t want my wife to leave me” the mental energy that will be projected in the universe will attract the event of “my wife to leave me”. The element of negation is lost. So if that is your wish, then you should think something in the lines of “I want my wife and I to stay together”, or any other positive form that will attract that action. In fact, what you need to do is adopt a positive thinking.
I’m sure you’ve heard of those self-help books that promote positive thinking as the way to a happy life. Well they are right, because by thinking about what you want instead of what you don’t what, you will experience those things that will make your wishes come true. This means that all you have to do is create an image in your mind of what you would like your life to be, next keep this image alive and you will see it taking shape in reality.

This theory is more thoroughly discussed in the film The Secret: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0846789/

We are all made of energy! The peoples of the Far East all know this, just look at the people who practice Tai Chi, they move this invisible energy that is all around us and in us. In fact, as quantum physics shows it we are not even made of mass, we are a form of energy as everything around us is. And this form of energy is controlled by our mind, by the thoughts we project.
Quantum physicists argue that if we could control our mind and if we believed that we have the power to reshape the reality around us, then we could actually do this. We could create the world around us according to our desires.
The Newtonian theory states that everything around us is a result of hazard, that even though you take the right decisions, the events in your life are independent of your actions. In contrast, the quantum theory goes to say that the universe responds to the mental energy we project out to it, meaning that the thoughts we constantly feed inside our minds shape the events in our lives.
Every thing has an energy field and as a result every interaction is in fact doubled by an interaction of energy fields. Once this aspect is understood, then we can move to a new level of understanding of the universe we live in.

How many people do you know who have A blood type, who work too much and suffer from stress related diseases and can’t calm down? They don’t calm down because they use all sorts of habits to distract themselves and they reduce their life to its practical aspect. They do this to avoid reminding themselves how insecure they are about their life.
In his book Redfield draws a sort of timeline showing our evolution through time. About a thousand years ago people’s lives were ruled by a sort of blind faith in God and in the Church. However, with scientifical discoveries people began to doubt that God is all mighty. As a consequence scientists were sent out to discover the truth. In the meanwhile, people shifted their attention to a new purpose, a material one and they began to concern themselves with ensuring their personal comfort and security. So this became a purpose to life, this is the issue we have to rise above. And rising above it implies realizing that this material purpose is not the real purpose of our existence and as a result we start searching for the real goal of this existence.
This is something I strongly believe in, especially because it gives deeper meaning to life.

I have a notebook where I write down all quotes I hear, read or see that I find insightful. I always keep it at hand, because I frequently run across a line that strikes me as worth keeping in mind. Being so close at hand I read a few pages from it until I stumbled across a quote from one of Redfield’s books, the one I was talking about the other day.
The quote goes something like this:
Working to make our survival easier has become a reason for living by itself and we have forgotten, bit by bit, the primordial question. We have forgotten that we still don’t know why we exist!
I wonder how many people ask themselves this question? And how many are to busy with their day to day life to even care why they exist on this planet?
Studying the people I come in contact with I noticed that a vast majority thinks that they live to go to school, get a degree, earn a living, find a partner, get married, make a few children, grown them up, see them settled at their own home, and then? Then what? Die? That’s it? Is that all there is to life? Really is that all? There has to be more!
Sometimes I wonder what does an old man think looking back to the life he has lived and forward to the years he still has to live, looking forward, expecting only to die. This might sound more or less morbid, but it’s a fact of life we have to deal with. What’s life all about, from the moment we are born till our last breath?
Interesting question, for now I don’t have the answer. At least I have a question.

For some time now I’ve been trying to get my hands on a book, actually on a trilogy. I’m talking about a group of books written by James Redfield.
One day at the office, I was just returning from the copy room when something caught my eye. In my neighbor’s drawer I spotted a green book with its title containing “SH”. I immediately thought it’s a book by Redfield, so I asked him to show me the book. Little was my surprise when it turned out to be the last book of the series. In addition, he also owned the first book and he was glad to lend them to me so I can read them.
This book reveals a series of insights that I found very interesting, especially since a part of them I have experienced. And, if I can overcome my inertia I might experience the rest.
The story goes that we, humans are on a continuous journey of evolution from the beginning of time till the present day and onward. Nowadays we have reached a point where the next step that we have to make is to wake up from our slumber of ignorance to become aware of the reality around us. The signal of this moment of evolution consists of noticing coincidences happening in your lives. These coincidences come as a sort of answer to the problems you are facing in order to help you move forward.
I found that becoming aware of the fact that “coincidences” actually happen for a reason gave me meaning and made my experiences full of beauty and love. However, lately I haven’t been aware of anymore coincidences taking place in my life. In fact, awareness is the keyword here, since most of the time we are like sleepwalkers. We move through life without noticing what’s around us.
So, to put it short: wake up, be aware of life, enjoy it and soon you’ll live this insight.

Once I said pleasures are important in life. Another little thing I enjoy doing is traveling.
Each and every time I have to travel I have a sort of “Friday feeling” careless of the day of the week. It starts with a sense of serenity, everything takes on a new light and all my cares disappear. Yes, every other thing looses all its importance, not even packing becomes a priority. Somehow I take a few things with me and then I’m gone. Soon a new experience unravels and it feels as if it all takes place in an extended weekend. And as Monday follows the weekend, when I return and I have to get back to may day to day activities I begin to feel that depressing Monday feeling…
I do love my Friday feeling and I can’t wait until I’m off again.

Among the many stories that I have heard one stands out. It’s the story of Milarepa.
Milarepa is a Tibetan Saint, who during his youth learnt the craft of black magic and destroyed an entire village, killing many souls only to satisfy his mother’s thirst for revenge. Realizing the immense wrong he had committed, Milarepa went out to seek someone to help him release himself from the chain of karma he accumulated. Under the guidance of Marpa he endured many years of physical hardship to burn his negative karma and finally through meditation he reached enlightenment.
Milarepa’s life stands as an example that anyone can free himself from their karmic chain of cause and effect, no matter how low they find themself.
Also during his life, Milarepa made a blessing saying that whomever would hear or speak his name would not be reborn in a lower life form than his present one.

Here’s a movie illustrating the first part of Milarepa’s life: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0499238/

I want answers! Yes, for some time now I’m in need of answers.
While reading from a book I run across this line:
“The problem in life doesn’t lay in receiving answers, but in finding the question for the moment in which you find yourself. Once you know what to ask – and it is something useful for you – the answer will come.” (James Redfield)
Quite the insight, but the problem is now shifted to finding the right questions.
For now I still wallow in inertia, waiting for something to wake me up from this state.
