Illusions that capture your reality


We all live in the illusions we create in our lives. The day to day drama of our life is the illusion we have created. The very aspect that we want so much drama is in itself a cry for attention.
At any given moment we want a lot of things, we imagine these and thoughts form. The thought that captures our attention is the one we pursue. We put in a lot of effort to make that thought concrete. It takes some time for the thought to manifest in our lives. By that time we have already moved on to other thoughts and other imaginations that have caught our fancy.
When these thoughts manifest we thing where did this come from, why now? I don’t want it now, cause now I am dealing with other thought and putting my effort in those. But the effort put by us, even half hearted one’s still have the force of our conviction and our will behind them. So they manifest, and we wonder why?
We live all our daily lives creating such illusions and when the real manifestation into reality happens we question it, because we have forgotten we had the thought and we have created this illusion.
If we step back and look at the illusion (the drama) and say ok, I created it let me enjoy it. We are not at cross-purpose with it, we are in sync with the flow. We do not have to put so much effort to swim against it, we can flow with it. We will be able to sustain it and find our banks. Isn’t that a better way.
Now, we need to understand that our illusions, our thoughts, our speech, all create a reality we live in. And that reality is our day to day life.

My goal in life


What is it that makes us want something? What is it that makes us desire something? What is it that drives us to go and achieve what we desire and want? Is this true living, just doing and achieving what we want and desire, or is there some purpose to our living on earth? What is that purpose? How do we know what we are supposed to do? What is our goal in life and what we have to finish before we exit? Who is to answer all these questions for us?
Why is it so difficult for us to understand our goals? If we know what we are supposed to do, most of us would get down to doing it. How can we recognize that this is what we need to do in this life time?
Too many questions, too little answers.
So help me find these answers.
What is it that makes us want something? – Desire
What is it that makes us desire something? – Greed
What is it that drives us to go and achieve what we desire and want? – Ego
Is this true living? – No                                           
What is that purpose? – Finding your true self
How do we know what we are supposed to do? – Self-knowledge
What is our goal in life and what have we to finish before we exit? – Knowing your self, your weaknesses and your strengths, not by someone else’s analysis but your own.
Who is to answer all these questions?- We ourselves when we sit in quititude.
Why is it so difficult for us to understand our goals? – We do not listen to our inner voice we ask for others opinions and there take on things we do. How can they tell us, when they are not  ‘me’?
How can we recognize that this is what we need to do in this life time? – When it is the easiest thing you can do with no effort on your part.
