Paralda - Be Aware

Be Aware.
By Paralda

Where did mankind lose themselves, was it when electricity was invented? When the radio came, or when the television started filling our homes? Was it when we started inventing things which made us forget about the real reason why we´re here? Go back one thousand years and try and look at the world today. We have made this place one big playground for Ignorance, Fear, Anger etc. I could go on and on with what we have done to ourselves. Not only do we thrive to get power by hurting each other, but we actually enjoy it. Winning an arguement is a huge deal for us, it gives our ego a major boost, and in the process of feeding the egoic self, we´re suppressing the I Am. You can ask anybody to say the words I Am but nobody knows the deeper meaning of those words. I Am is being used to define how good you are at a certain thing. I Am good a ball games etc. When in reality, by understanding the meaning of I Am is a blessing. Its like saying, I Am not my thoughts, I Am not my psycial body, and truly to believe it, to understand it to the deepest level of consiousness. All we focus on is the "I", I did this, I did that. Boosting our ego to a degree which feeds our anger, fear etc.
We have forgot our true selves in the process of making Earth a better place to be. Its hazardous to think, because in fact, thinking is like lying to yourself.
You truly believe in your own thoughts so much that they start running your life.

In the words of Eckhart Tolle ´True intelligence operates silently. Stillness is where creativity and solutions to problems are found´.
Think about that sentence for a minute and try and think about the projects you´ve had through your life, when did your inspiration hit you the hardest? When you´re in that... divine silence right?
I´m not saying you shouldn´t use your head and think, because thats one of the important things to function and stay above waters so-to-speak. But you should take 20min a day and just stare at the trees, a flower etc and think about how Still it is. Thinking about stillness is being aware. (Eckhart Tolle).

Being aware is what humanity needs to focus on. Be aware of yourself, when you´re sad, be sad, flow with that sadness and think about the sadness; why are you sad? How does sad feels like? etc. When you´re aware of yourself you´re on the path to consiousness.
Be aware of the beauty of flowers, tress, the sky, the gound etc. Look at it as you see it for the first time. A, lets say, 4 month old baby has more awareness than any teenager or adult. I wish a baby could speak, and tell me how beautiful the world is. Or a dog, you can hit, kick, brutalize a dog to near-death, and the dog will still remain sane and loyal. Its aware that its not who the brutalizer is, its not in his nature to be evil, and the dog knows this. Why can´t humanity act the same and just laugh it off when we get a beating, instead we retaliate with weapons or invite more people to the disagreement.

Be aware of every situation that happens around you, be aware of every little thing in your life, and most of all, be aware that you´re aware. Look at yourself like you´re looking in a mirror and in time you will be aware of who you are. Examine your hunger, thirst, anger, pain, happiness etc. and you will eventually be blessed with awareness.

Hope you enjoyed the read and you will put awareness into your life on a daily basis.
