Day 41: Duty Free - Are you free of your duties?

Have you ever asked yourself why Airports Duty Free shops mainly sell parfum, chocolates and alcohol?

I am starring at the shop and there's a golden light coming from all corners. Amazing how people buy gold in its different shapes.

Let me tell you why this business works so well: it plays with human emotions, yes, your emotions and we are the players without really realising it. Meaning, we don't realise the extent of emotional control that is used and abused by humans towards other humans.

Let's take the example of alcohol. Why do people drink in first place; is it social? Or is it to make you feel something that you perceive being separated from. Or is it because it "helps" at the meeting you will have? Or simply to forget about your problems at home...With alcohol, a moment of no-worries comes also for free.

Chocolates: wow this is a huge point that I see within myself. The comfort of eating it and the memories attached. Tha flavour is immensly good and the sugar hits you with energy.

How does a single parfum promote jealousy, comparison and competition? Look at the images: an elegant blond/brune woman or a green-eye man with the shiny lips  selling you a product. Buy a parfum and you will take happiness home, for free. We are limiting ourselves, for free. We are abusing our bodies for free.

These shops give you happiness as long as you accept what they offer you. The idea that you will be more/superior if you buy that parfum... Maybe that man will look at me. Maybe all the women in the world will feel jealous of my new parfum.

Make a wish and have a whisky. But note: if you drink the whole bottle someone will have to carry your heavy weight; someone will have the legitimacy to take decisions for you; someone will lie to you and you won't even notice. Feeding the mind with alcohol is a green light for abuse, internally and externally. In the end all these patterns simply create separation, isn't it?

So are we free of our duties? The duty of being self-honest, for example. What we accept within us, we'll accept outside us. Do you accept emotional breakdowns, anxiety, frustration, indecision, desire and finaly fast-pleasure? If so, Duty Free shops are for you! We are so consumed by the idea that we are making such a big deal just because is £5 cheaper, that we don't even look at what we are putting in our own bodies.It definetely feeds the patterns of the mind.

Potencial associations:

Parfum: desire/sex

Chocolates: feeling of comfort/an award

Alcohol: subconscious mind and memories

While I am writing, "she's the one" says by Robie Williams in his song. Well spoted Robie! Just another mind construct here. She's the one that what...? How come out of 6 billion people there is one single person that is special? Is it because of her parfum? Or the image that you have been feeding since childhood of a perfect women and now fits with what your eyes see -- just like an hologram. Can you see this?

How could you believe in that image of the mind in first place? Parfum, chocolates and alcohol.

Day 38: The root of the riots

Do we really think that everything was alright before the protests?

Do we believe in the apparent illusion that people were happy in silence?

This is an accumulation effect. What goes inside is now projected to the outside...

Unfortunately we are not educated to understand how we work (our mind and our body). 

Do we know where our thoughts come from? 

Do we know why do we react in certain ways?

Also, we are not educated to understand where the money comes from? 

Why is there poverty?

Why some have and others don't?

Why is Life on earth about paying bills and surviving, when all we want is to enjoy ourselves with fellow human beings, family and friends?

These manifestations of anger are the consequence of such accumulation of anger within each one of us. Everyone is tired of this system. Everyone is tired of survival, consciously or subconsciously. 

The way to see what's really going on is putting yourself in other people's shoes. What do you see? Lack of comfort, lack of housing conditions, lack of a stable income, lack of security, lack of respect, lack of opportunities and lack of equality. Politics should be about giving, not taking. The "taking bit" comes with the economic system...

The solution is not separation. It never was and it won't be. Because we are simply fighting with ourselves, whether is a police officer or someone else - The human race against self! There is a fight within each one that must be forgiven, self-forgiven. We will have to come to a point of deciding how we want to live on this planet and what do we want to create as our reality. Each one is creating already but we need to change the direction. It can't be destruction, definitely. We are to BEcome the living example of Life. That is self-empowerment, knowing that what you do is the best for yourself and for all.

How we want to be treated is how we must treat others.

People are angry because we have existed in this survival system for too long. Enough is enough. The biggest violence exists in silence, within. And it is each one's responsibility to stop so that we can build something together.

The other silence is the corruption of the system - that which we don't see but we feel it in our daily life.

The problem we know it already because it has been the same since ever. That is why I find amazing these new creative SOLUTIONS towards equality and self-honesty

Day 34: New fashion in prehistoric minds

Why do we feel great when wearing new clothes?
Why is there excitement when buying something new (even in second hand)?
Do my eyes need something new? But isn't fashion cyclical?...

New fashion in a pre-historical mind. What does this mean? Where is our focus going to... The mind is spinning around along with our likes and dislikes, ideas, beliefs, perceptions, images... and money feeds the pattern.
I see people on the street. I am part of the crowd and I find myself playing around with thoughts and comparisons towards what I see.
I see the so called London fashion style all around. The powerful marketing of the shops.

What about that which we DON'T SEE? The invisible thoughts. The secret mind. The constant back chats. The fears. The anxieties. Self-judgements. Judgements towards others. Just because we don't see it, it does not mean is not there. Quite the opposite: it has the biggest impact in everything around us. It has the origin of all the caos that surround, call it greed, competition, anger, envy, hate... And this is pre-historical, isn't it?

Why do men still think of women as the prey? Wearing the most expensive tie does not change anything really: it is only the belief and the perception that one may have about 'someone with a tie'.

Will an iPad remove one's inner fears? Buying another gadget will keep my I'eyes entertained for a while...so that I forget the secret mind and keep the illusion.

Will the high heels empower women? Superiority is a perception of separation. Why does one need to look like 'something'? Such a self-limitation. How come we still allow such slavery? For as long as each one participates in this mind possession, the human deception will be 'seen' to be acceptable.
To simply exist is not enough for a human being so we keep us entertained with conflict towards one another, between brands and companies, in sports and in politics: right-left polarity of the brain was copied and pasted to the Parliament room...
We are building layers around ourselves, make up, filling our lives with entertainment and avoiding looking at what we don't see - looking inside. Stop and realise oneself. Stopping the mind gives space for Life...


For how long are we going to ignore who we really are...
For how long have we been entertaining ourselves? - since ever.
If we had already realise who we really are, as human and as beings, then this world would be already a place of human-kindness.


Breathe with me. It is the same oxygen! We are made of the same matter. This is what really matters.

Day 30: Unpunctuality has a cure! PART 2

Following the Self-Forgiveness, my awareness about unponctuality and the practicality of leaving earlier from home is now into action. Ponctuality is a point of stability. Unpunctuality as self-distrust is a point that I am facing to transcend. 

I am in the bus. At the moment I am stable, no rush. No excitment. No anxiety. I breathe...
There isn't any feeling of uncertainty 'if I will arrive on time'. There isn't the feeling of comfort related with the thought 'I still have some minutes'. This polarity of rush vs comfort... But there isn't an ilusionary idea about time today. 
Since today I am giving myself time, I took a different bus for work and I am taking this road for the first time. I look around me, like a tourist.
By this I realise that being on a rush implies robotic movements as form of controling ti-me. Controling me.
... but today I am taking another direction. I never considered that. Time implies criativity.
When I am doing something new, time seems to be proportional to my enjoyment. Because I am here.

Unpunctuality is based on memories.


Repetition is based on memories. That is why, when one is in a rush and something unexpected happens, a crises and stress arise and the control becomes ineffective. There's no time to be creative.
I created so many memories of being late that in my mind that is the first feed of my imagination when I am thinking about the next day. It is exactly this starting point that is now being changed... Personality.

Day 25: I am a full-time job!

In some moments when I am in total breath-awareness I realise that this IS real - I am real - my movement IS real, time IS here and I AM HERE. This happened last week when I was going up the stairs in my room --- it was weird. I was walking because I was moving my body. I was making a sound because I was speaking. Nothing could stop me from walking.
In fact, I am the only one that stops myself really. Therefore I am the one that allows me to be here! So if I direct myself to walk the talk, I am pushing myself to walk in self-honesty, considering that this 'talk' is self-honest, supportive for me and for others. 

This is where the backchats come up. The thoughts are my biggest limitation. When I am of the mind, I am not aware of the movement and I am a robot: eating for the sake of eating, walking, reacting,... This is the secret mind - who I believe I am or I need to behave accordingly - just an amount of ideas, definitions and beliefs accumulated throughout time... An imense invisible ocean that polutes the air I breathe.
Considering this realisations through my personal experience (by following the backchats I end up repeating patterns and I miss-the-takes) I decided to take on the Desteni I Process. It has been the only education that provides me the practical tools to deal with myself, my thoughts, fears, emotions, always in self-responsibility - no one to blame.

It brought me the awareness that I am my full-time job! Since the moment I wake up, till I go to bed and even while dreaming, I am always dealing with myself -- self-honesties, self-dishonesties, transcendencies, patterns, mirrors, projections,... -- and the Process takes the 'glasses' out = for me to see what is really going on: both inside and outside me. By taking self-responsibility for me, I am being self-responsible within my participation in the world. Can you imagine if everyone were to take self-responsibility for each one's acts? What a real commitment and respect for everyone's lives!
It is a big challenge because much of the information around me ends by distracting me from myself. Each one is in its own bubble and there is no time and willingness to meet the 'other' in self-honesty.
Regarding the news for example, it became an enormous distraction -- watching things on the tv makes the problem seem to be far way, when in fact the same issue is possibly happening in our own houses. And yes! It is as important as the problem on tv! One has to deal with it, one has to be strong and trust oneself to overcome it.  
Everyone is equally important! We are all full-time beings, full-time alive! 
This is now applied to my direction and to look at who I have become to correct to who I want to be for the best of me and for everyone. I say 'who I have become' because it is just impossible to ignore the realisation that who I am is a result of the society and surroundings around me --- what I say, what I speak uffffff I became a sponge! Now I see that I have to be more like a filter --- not everything in the media supports me, not everything that was taught to me is beneficial to the life on the planet, not everything that people tell me is self-honest and so on...

So this is the challenge ahead of us. Making sure that we are the best we can be in this job called LIFE.
... breathing in self-awareness in every moment is a BIG challenge/change.
