INTROSPECTION

People today often think of escape from civilization, considering that they will find freedom and peace somewhere in a wooden cabin deep in the wild nature, or on a remote island in the middle of the ocean. The very thought of it in us creating a sense of freedom and independence, away from all liability and collisions of modern life man could indeed find peace and serenity, and finally to devote to his own being.

Although such a vital life changing move would be really good for most of us, the real situation is still such that in 99% of cases it remains only wishful thinking, because our attachment to the commitments, career and people is often stronger even than the desire to follow our heart. But that is not reason to despair because the source of peace and freedom are certainly not in some kind of cabin or on a desert island but within ourselves, which means that if we want to be free and happy there is no need to go anywhere, because the source is always in our minds and our hearts, to be precise we are the source of all that we see and feel.

Doing purification of  our own subconscious of false beliefs and attachments, by reexamination our own hearts and getting to know one's self through introspection is possible to reach a state of absolute happiness and fulfillment that will make us free once and for all. All that is required is that we take every day at least half an hour so we could peacefully look and examine everything that we carry in our hearts and in our minds,this way of acting is called Introspection.

Honest introspection will lead us to the answer that will bring us back to ourselves, usually we will realize that all our beliefs that we have followed throughout our lives were completely groundless and incomplete, and results of such beliefs are our chaotic lives filled with constant struggle for existence, and negative feelings that have prevented us to be happy and free.

All of us have come into this world as pure and absolutely innocent beings, we did not have any knowledge about the world and what awaits us, we had to learn from the environment how to live this life. So we have be learned, step by step, absorbing habits of our parents and all of persons who are in any way involved in our lives, they have told us; what our name is, to wich nation and religion we belong, how should we live and what beliefs should we cherish.

So, all we know about life and about ourselves we have learned from someone, all of our beliefs are based on what we heard and not on what we have personally discovered learning from life itself. Also we were told that religions teaching must not be questioned nor doubted, because those learning comes directly from God.  All of us who come from backgrounds where religion was an important factor of community life, all we carry in ourselves mostly the same concepts and beliefs that are deeply rooted in our subconscious mind, and on the basis of these beliefs we are bringing all decisions in our lives, whether we do it consciously or unconsciously. But if we look a little more closely our lives from childhood until today, we can easily see that all our actions was conditioned by fear, because unfortunately that is what we were mostly taught in our homes, schools and churches.

Some of these beliefs deeply engraved in most of us are:

     -if you have no fear of God, you will go to hell!
     -If you do not follow religious laws, you'll go to hell!
     -money is the source of all the evils of this world!
     -the desire for wealth is a sin against God!
     -You're not capable to do such things!
     -it is only for the chosen!
     -money earned without the sweat is dirty money! ...

It is really sad to see how people spend their entire life blindly believing in many different doctrines and accepting suffering and poverty as something that is just as it should be because that's the way God intended for us. This is the biggest lie of mankind that keeps us in ignorance and prevents us to realize our own being and to become aware that we are the ones that with our beliefs and our thoughts create our reality, it is we who have the power to create our lives and to achieve whatever our heart desires, but to be able to act with our full capacity, first we have to reject all false beliefs and again reveal ourselves in our purest form wich we had when we came into this world. 

Remember, when we came into this world, we had no name, religion nor nationality. God created us to be masters of our lives, and society has taught us to be servants.

Get to know for yourself, who you are and what is true, only that cognition can lead you to liberation!
