Time is just an illusion of the mind that a person uses as a guide in space. There is only the moment now, and the past and future are just figments of our imagination.
When we wake up, we are still in the now, and tomorrow never comes. The illusion of time is mainly used by people to speculate and force other people to act in a certain way by making them believe that time is limited.
We all know that matter has a lifespan and that everything material will inevitably collapse. Therefore, the world of people is in a constant rush in pursuit of desires, guided by the fear that they will not succeed in something in life.
Time is a very profitable commodity for traders. It was they who came up with the phrase “time is money,” forcing the masses to shift their focus in time and exchange their lives in the now for a tool with which we exchange material and intellectual goods.
Everything is alright. No matter if time is important or not. What has to happen, will happen for sure.

From the moment I open my eyes in the morning, I am convinced that everything is in perfect order, as it should be, no matter how sad or joyful reality may seem.
Maintaining inner peace, I begin my daily activities. What I do every day is do it in different ways to avoid repetition and the slightest hint of routine; that’s how I feel alive. No matter how urgent the matter is, I always avoid rushing.
Sometimes the mind, carried away by a problem, tries to force the body to speed up processes, which often leads to confusion and results in new problems that only add stress.
Under such circumstances, solving one problem in a hurry can create an even bigger problem or a series of problems for yourself.
My advice to someone would be: under any circumstances, do not rush into making decisions or taking actions.
It may turn out that nothing else is needed other than just being at that moment.
I overheard someone’s formula for a happy existence: first you need to be, and only then do it if there is a need.
Say no to rushing and allow yourself to enjoy this endless and beautiful moment now.
May love be with you!

What is a special day for you? Why would you celebrate it?
Every day there is a holiday, and no matter what the occasion, it is described in the holiday calendar.
In the culture where I grew up, there were many days a year that were considered holidays, and people celebrated them following certain traditions.
Until a certain age, I looked forward to some of them, but the older I got, the clearer the meaninglessness of these holidays became to me. Even my own birthday has ceased to be a special day. After all, these days are like any others.
Then I came to the conclusion that for me, there is a holiday every day, and if I am in the mood, I can celebrate it with dinner in the company of loved ones or even alone, visit a place that is significant to me, visit a person, or buy myself or anyone around a gift.
If suddenly you want some Christmas cheer in the middle of summer, I would say, Why not? What is stopping you from giving it to yourself? Life itself is the greatest holiday.
May it be so for everyone who reads this post.
May love be with you!

The more pain we experience, the greater our dependence on bliss.
Mass media and the internet demonstrate that the short way to satisfaction of a need is to artificially influence the release of certain hormones using all kinds of drugs and substances or experiencing an orgasm, which in turn depletes the body mentally and physically. This is how we find the way to an imaginary balance and avoid inner pain.
After all, the world into which we came is perfect and beautiful, but some creatures inhabiting this world, for some reason, created conditions to make newborn creatures suffer and suffer in the first and subsequent years of life, causing defects in the psyche and body that led to addictions.
As an individual matures under such conditions, it will inevitably be susceptible to the weakness of the addiction to achieving a change of state using the methods offered by the market.
This is how the populations of entire continents are looped into artificially created need or dependence, sometimes weaving it into the consciousness of those nations as a national feature.
Hence, many nations are at a low level of development, which is accompanied by endless mass suffering; therefore, their addiction to drugs and genital pleasures elevates the idea and meaning of life, and the result of such a lifestyle inevitably leads to aggression and war.
They sell their lives for pennies in order to get rid of suffering in the ways that are sold to them by those who cause this state in their psyche. An ingenious scheme for eternal enslavement.
Ask yourself if you have an addiction that helps you escape from a seemingly painful reality?

Everything is cyclical in our lives, and many things that we supposedly understood come back to life again, and we seem to go through the same lesson.
A lesson can be learned by repeating it many times until there is not a single question left and no one reacts. This is a test of how much you have learned from the last turn of the spiral of reality.
Don’t lose trust in the process; live and learn the facets of yourself and the world around you, and thank everything and yourself for what you experience. Everything exists for you and your growth.
Remember that the world is your reflection, what you give to it, it reflects, refracting the reflections with the edges of endless mirrors in the form of people and situations.
Refracting the light of consciousness may seem like something new, but everything new is a forgotten constant.

You are winter in summer, and I am summer in winter—the obvious difference between me and you.
This is the illusion of the duality of the world. In it, we dance passionately and playfully. Sometimes dancing seems like a fight. It’s a fight for life and death.
After the fight, we became one loving, feeling being.
There is no difference between up and down now.
We are illuminated by fire and love. Everything seems as it was before, but something is different.
There is no pain, and we don’t cry anymore. We laugh together now with the kindness of love in our hearts and everything looks so beautiful and unique.
There are no tears, and the eyes are clear. We see the truth without fear without hiding anything. We sincerely sharing light with the world Illuminating everyone and everything.
May love be with you!

It happens that there are arguments in your head with yourself about something.
You notice that the mind is responsible for going dialogue. You just listen to your own thoughts and think that you are going crazy because the voice in your head expresses the good and the bad in you.
Furthermore, you clearly understand that at the moment you are not related to either one voice or another, you seem to be observing and witnessing the dialogue in your own mind, using the same mind at the same time.
At such moments, we notice the duality of the work of our mind.
Being a whole, the mind divides everything into opposites, including itself, and this is its natural function.
Managing your own mind is what I would recommend everyone do.
Do not suppress or encourage the mind, but use its functions for their intended purpose, and stop giving attention to the stream of endless thoughts about something produced by the mind when there is no need for it.
Otherwise, the mind becomes a frenzied copying machine of opposing thoughts.
I wish you to experience a calm mind.
Even if it seems like it’s not working out, don’t stop, just be and breathe. That’s enough.
Be still and observe youself.
May love be with you, dear friend!

Anyone who wants to get rid of something comes from a dual perception, seeing the object from the position of liking or not liking. Binary code is in everything, in every object, thought, wave.
From this endless repetition of opposites, another picture is created, which is part of another larger picture and there is no limit to this manifestation of reality, no matter what direction you choose.
Every end has a beginning, just like every beginning has the end of something. Whatever you think while reading the text, it is just your interpretation of the interpretation of the meaning from the infinitely possible.
There are no right or wrong because every thought is valuable, even the darkest and most terrible. The degree of beauty and horror can be laid out on a scale from infinity to infinity, but people, as limited beings, have a range in which it is necessary to find a balance.
Balance will not make you get rid of problems, but it will allow you to pay attention to what is happening so as not to miss the moment now.
By changing your attitude and your own reaction to everything that happens, you can gain new experience by performing even a pattern that is familiar to you.
May love be with you!

It is an interesting fact that many of us ignore that we don’t feel or see things like anyone else in this world. You were special from the beginning of your life. Nothing is the same; even if you make a copy of yourself, it won’t be the same as you. It will go through its own copy’s experience of existence.
The way you express yourself now can’t be repeated or copied by anyone. Those emotions and reactions are based on things that you went through, and they are so unique. From this point of view, respect for the self should increase in you.
Sometimes people undervalue or overvalue their own characteristics when they start to compare themselves with others. It leads to nonstop seeking of the self in the totally wrong place.
As you move further into search through comparison, the more desperate you become. Such a trick of the mind and reasonable reaction of the real you, who you suppressed for such a long time while you were trying to be like anyone around but who you really are.
Betrayal of the self is a really painful experience because of its unmeasurable price. By doing so, you ignore your natural potential that was given to you at higher levels of existence. It is so powerful that it can create ideas and things; it can influence matter and make new worlds, life forms, etc. In other words, we can call it divine power.
If during your life path you don’t realize this power in you and keep it suppressed deep in you, it might destroy you from inside.
If you are drawn into ignorance, you might see the reason for your failure in anyone but yourself. Others are just your reflection on the fabric of 3D reality.
You can’t hide anything from yourself.
May love be with you!

Fears, resentments, hatred of someone—this is all stagnant mental and emotional garbage. These are those parts of you that should have manifested themselves in certain situations, but you listened to your mind. You hid the emotion and pushed it deeper, where it had already taken root over all these years of living in you. It turned into a conviction and an automatic reaction to a certain type of situation.
Perhaps you were an inquisitive child and one of your close relatives told you everything to devalue any of your manifestations, even if it was a joke, and you, being inexperienced and incofident, took it and believed it, or took it and swallowed resentment or anger.
Now you are 30+ years old, and you notice certain patterns and cyclicalities of your ups and downs in the basic components of life: health, wealth, love, and happiness.
You start trying to find out the problem with the help of all sorts of psychological and spiritual practices. What is wrong with you? Why do you have a constant troubles in some areas of your life?
As a result, you find in yourself an eternally ongoing dialogue with someone you have been upset about or angry at since childhood. After decades, you still have this conversation in you, and maybe even your offender is no longer alive, but you still subconsciously look for him/her in everyone with whom you communicate.
The pity fact is that you find the offender even in those who are absolutely different from the one with whom you often have an internal dialogue all these years.
You are like someone who sees hallucinations, and you are convinced of the authenticity of your illusory vision.
Accordingly, any person in this case who interacts with you will experience an undeserved attitude towards themselves, which will lead to the breaking of the connection between both of you. For you, this will also cause a certain type of misunderstanding and disappointment, first of all in yourself.
Here, you will have to have a serious conversation with yourself. Perhaps it will even be very emotional and supported by “special effects” in the sensations of the body.
It sounds interesting, isn’t it? What to do, then?
If you are sincerely interested in my answer, then it means that you definitely haven’t be sincere with yourself; you haven’t spoken to yourself honestly, without any hypocrisy to which you conditioned, having identified you with your environment and pleasing it. You have ignored or suppressed your own feelings that are opposite to the imposed belief.
Carl Jung called these shadows; Eckhart Tolle called them the pain body, In different traditions, they are called demons or informational parasites that live in the psyche.
The most exciting fact is that all of them are you—those parts of you that want your love. So give yourself some love! What is the problem? Are you asking “how”? It’s simple. Love yourself.
May love be with you!
