I do not believe her, but she charms everyone her convincing speech because it seems all of us posses a certain degree of elaborate judgment. How easily we are enchanted by those who expose their beliefs if they sound convincing enough! Who cares about facts! I do! I do! I really do care about the truth! Why don&rsquo;t you? What is really good has to be based in truth, and that can only be found in a non-judgmental awareness within a whole we haven&rsquo;t yet realized yet. We are seeing the truth all the time, but don&rsquo;t realize it. Can you see the contradiction here?<\/p>\n<div class=\"important\">Someone did! A silent observer that will never be convinced. It was my grandfather, the observer, who once said that most people are asleep in a sea full of shrimp, but now because he is dead I can only hear the wind reminding me to follow my own breath rather than the chatty old Mam. In his silence, he found that through pure attention one can melt that which is supposed a vast ocean of belief into an icy truth that breaks all chains.<\/div>\n<pre>The mask\r\nof will blows\r\nour minds\r\nwith desire.\r\n\r\nThe winds'\r\nintentionality\r\nat its tightest\r\nformality,\r\na mask\r\nof necessity\r\nmarking our face.\r\n\r\nIn such heightened\r\nstate of belief,\r\none becomes\r\nthe slave of will.\r\n\r\nOne cannot see\r\nas our facade becomes\r\nthat which seems\r\nto be free.\r\n\r\nSo much it seems\r\nthat is no relief\r\nto the affliction\r\nof impotence,\r\nbut violence.\r\n\r\nWill in order,\r\nWill with reason\r\nto live in freedom,\r\nthey say,\r\nbut do not let\r\nthem know\r\ndesire itself\r\nand not\r\nthemselves\r\nwho owns\r\ncontrol.\r\n\r\nDo you think\r\nyou are free?\r\n\r\nBut have you realized\r\nfreedom is not in thought?\r\n\r\nThe most treacherous\r\ndelusion is being trapped\r\nin chants of independence\r\nwhile being chained\r\nto your own beliefs.\r\n\r\nBut first,\r\nrealize the trap\r\nso you can actually\r\nescape from your thirst.\r\n\r\nTrapped in the expectations\r\nof those beliefs,\r\ntrapped in the desires\r\nof those who grief,\r\ntrapped in the hush\r\nof untamed time.\r\n\r\nIn such state of affairs,\r\nthere is no place to run.\r\n\r\nIn a world of aggression\r\nwe inhabit for they say\r\nthat all that cannot\r\nbe possessed\r\nhas not been desired\r\nwith enough power\r\nand so they resolve:\r\nNothing is unwilling,\r\nonly keep billing\r\nthose willing.\r\n\r\nWhere does\r\nactuality lie?\r\n\r\nWhile the colorblind cry\r\nfor more power,\r\nthe attentive release their wills\r\nwaiting for the flower of reality\r\nto bloom through their\r\nmulticolored breath\r\nas one becomes one\r\nwith the wind.\r\n\r\nThe exhalation of perfection\r\nis the seed that gives birth\r\nto that which cannot be willed\r\nbut only attended\r\nas the opening of petals\r\nin a delicate flow\r\nof rivers and foam\r\nthat falls into\r\nthe ocean\r\nof love.\r\n<\/pre>\n<div class=\"important\">Is death the only bliss? I tend to disagree, but I never follow the rules because I contradict myself a lot. Ha, I have to confess I am a paradox who is not afraid of saying that I do actually agree with the Madame, but I also disagree. We need to reason our way through delusion, but at the same time paradoxes need to be felt and not reasoned in order to understand them. Perhaps you can solve paradoxes through intuition and not analysis or synthesis, but then how are you going to express immaculate understandings? Therefore, in the perpendicular point of the cross lies a paradox which is love floating in peace. Are you able to observe how the paradox is solved? Is it solved if there is no reason? No, but yes. Yes, but no. Both and none. Illuminate with love and observe with clarity, could that represent luminous love? No, but yes. Yes, but no. At the end, remove the mask and perhaps, this time when you will&hellip; It won&rsquo;t be desire, but consent that rips apart chains.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a retirement center, lives a grand Madame who tries to convince everyone that one can act within goodness through the use of reason which is the key to freedom.
