Blinded by your Life?

psyche_Blinded_by_events

There are such things as reactions time, habits and a learning curve. Our minds are (sometimes) great to react quickly to something physical - but in social, political, personal, emotional or technical situations we are rather slow.

It takes for our psyche or so called egos VERY long to understand new situations, figure out new people in our life’s or even our own selfish desires.

Then we are blinded by our life’s - looking daft or simply continue to behave like nothing has changed. But we are often ‘behind’ our own situation - slowly adopting to change …

Don’t be startled. Don’t be ignorant. Don’t be a creature of habits.

Change is natural. Surprises are normal. Go deal with them. Go and experiment. It’s fun!

Insights into the female mind

modern_woman-foot-in-stiletto-x-ray

Even after millions of wrecked knees, broken ankles and harsh downfalls the female of our species refuses to wear normal and safe footwear.

Instead they spent huge amounts of their income for these contraptions - just to be a little bit sexier, just to be a little bit higher and just to feel a bit better about themselves.

Just as guys try to improve their penis by buying huge cars and guns, female try to expand their alluring sexual qualities by huge amounts of leather objects in their closets.

The Grumpy Sick Guy Myth

The Rhythm of Life

modern_rhythm_of_life

Yes, we are creatures ruled by time, rhythms and habits.

It start with our basic heart rate - the true rhythm of our lives.

The day & night pattern of our planet dictates our lifestyles, the need for sleep our awake times.

Our social life and whole society is built around rhythms, patterns, repeats and habits: work time, play time, quality time. We all have times and places for everything.

But there is the long time pattern of life itself: birth, life and death. We all sing and dance to that rhythm, either on a small human scale or cosmic one. Even suns and planets get born, have a life and burn out in the end. Even black holes end in another big bang.

Welcome to this Universe ruled by time, rhythms and patterns.

The true question is: do you design your own patterns of life or do you follow those patterns carved out for your by society, nature and other people’s expectations?

Time to rule your patterns, design your own patterns and enjoy time as long as it still ticks for you!

Those perfect people in advertising

modern_perfect_beauty

Everything is just perfect in advertising. Everything isn’t perfect in real life. But it seems to me that more and more people have lost the grip and reality - and think that their life’s should be more like advertising?

On the road to nowhere …

labyrinth_of_the_heart

Love seems a good that only gets more interesting the more complicated it is to get it. That might be more a game of the ego instead of the heart. Being nice, being loved and loving someone can be pretty easy - if your ego just could stop demanding stuff attached to love itself.

Cuteness can’t overcome Death

spiritual_cuteness_and_death

No matter who much cuteness, pink and kitsch you stuff into your life - it will end. The question is: How much real substance do you want? How much effort are you willing to invest into you own life? And how much pain are you willing to endure to reach your full potential?

Sounds to harsh? Well then choose the way of modern consumerism and try to get the easy & fluffy ticket until death.

The easy way out will always be there.

Life is all about perspective - if you can afford one

spiritual_pool_with_a_different_perspective

If you are poor and stuck in some backwater place your choices are limited. To have a choice is a luxury - not many people enjoy that privilege.

But to develop different perspectives on life you need to have the luxury of self observation and time to reflect. And some brains and some education help too.

Many of our fellow humans are still simply trying to survive and lead a decent life - without a break to think about themselves, learn more about culture and spirituality - or having the resources to start a ‘new’ or ‘different’ life.

If you can afford all these things and you can think - than use these gifts. Otherwise you are wasting yourself and the chance to improve society. Self improvement is not a one way street - as part of a bigger community all bonuses and deficits are added or subtracted from the ‘big picture’.

Pink as a Lifestyle

modern_pink_as_a_lifestyle

Pink has become a terrible lifestyle and attitude the recent years: just be happy, just be fluffy, just be nice. LOL LOL LOL …

Your life as a Kitsch object. Terrible!

Life isn’t a pink pony to ride. Life is a bit more colorful, exciting and terrible. Enjoy all the colors and attitudes. Thinking Pink is fucking boring.

Holy ceremonies suck!

spiritual_girl_first_communion

No matter how old, traditional and pompous your ceremony is, enlightenment and any higher spirits won’t drop down on you automatically.

Usually it has quite the opposite effect: having received some spiritual recognition via ceremony is often like a blank cheque for ignorance. Why bother - I already got my holy approval.

Winning the Game called Life?

spiritual_game_of_life

As a sperm you already won the race with your father’s other competitors. But in the end you can only exit the game like every other player - dead.

For all the competition in life there is no real winning, no real first prize or looser. All you can do is breath, develop your potential, maybe clone yourself and raise your kids. Have fun and enjoy yourself on the way to your grave - because that’s the most you get out of it.

Who are you trying to scare anyway?

spiritual_scary_shark_at_beach

Often when people try to be scary it’s rather pathetic or simply funny. But what if you are scaring people without even trying? Are you projecting a hate shield to keep people away? Or are you a Guru, who’s insights scare the ignorant and stubborn? Or are you simply a mean spirit?

Being scary is not a compliment - it’s usually an ego deficit transformed into fear and violence.

Life isn’t always a win-win situation

spiritual_mexican_standoff

New Age gurus and motivational trainers seem obsessed to hammer positive thinking and the idea of always constructing win-win situations in everybody’s minds.

Loosing or failing is one of the best ways to learn something. So failing is actually the best way to become a master at anything. Failure teaches us a lot.

But more important is the ‘deconstruction’ of the dualism of winning and loosing. Once you get rid of of the cultural and social pressure and concept of ‘being a winner’ or ‘being a sore looser’ life gets MUCH easier.

Once you get rid of this judgmental concept in your psyche you can go with your flow and open up your mind for creativity and collaboration without a ‘winning’ end result. Creating something excellent is not the same as winning a trophy.

There is a huge difference between being declared brilliant and being brilliant …

Extra Effort can pay off extra large

spiritual_busy_ant

Most esoteric types like to ‘go with the flow’. Extra effort or dealing with harsh obstacles or barriers don’t appeal to them. It’s always very cool and ZEN like to NOT want anything out of life or work to get SOMETHING.

But life is physical as well as metaphysical. Rewards for both planes of existence are worth some effort. And it is nice and rewarding to have accomplished something for yourself and others by NOT going with the flow.

People like Gandhi, Albert Einstein or Martin Luther didn’t go with the flow and waited for change - and they changed the world.

Achieving something means often to break your own comfort zone, work long hours and enduring serious pain. Often the result can be nothing, but sometimes it can be everything.

Public Knockout

Being defeated in public is embarrassing. A tough thing is hard to overcome. But people love the comeback kid - but only if you are brave enough to learn from your defeat, stand up and try again.

My Home is my Shell

spiritual_crab_at_beach

No matter where Mr Crab goes - he always is at home. We also carry often a lot of baggage with us, but sometimes our minds won’t rest, feel safe or at home - no matter where we are. Maybe it’s time to work on that mental shell and get rid of it. A human can survive in all ‘nakedness’ - Mr Crab can’t. It’s our advantage - let’s use it to live without fear and burden.

Transcending Laughter

spiritual_unhappy_gurus

Some spiritual disciplines are so focused on transcending everything that they can’t appreciate the silly side of life any more. If you can’t laugh no more, you are already dead and have to be reborn as a sitcom character. Laughter is good for the soul and an excellent tool to overcome fear.

Knockout Problems

spiritual_fat_boxing_ladies

Since their is no such thing as a ‘universal fairness’ clause we have to cope with pretty heavy problems from time to time in our life’s. Some people say challenges can make you grow, but some challenges simply knock you out. Not every bad situation has a ‘good’ aspect, not every problem will make you grow and help you to become a better or even happier person.
