What thoughts and opinions arise when you look in the mirror? Are these thoughts loving or judgmental? Is there such a thing as loving thoughts? Or is all thought based on the past, on memory, which is comparison.Comparison is duality, put into compartments of good or bad, so love itself is not thought, because it is not split into opposites. Try it for yourself, think of something or somebody and look at your thoughts to see whether or not you label it as good or bad? Therefore even positive thoughts are based upon judgments and ultimately not love.

Anything that divides humanity is destructive, even nationality is a division of one from another. These systems have created a ‘me’ and a ‘you’ and a ‘right’ and a ‘wrong’. The world is governed by systems based on duality and separation, whilst the real cry of humanity has been ignored. Nobody is truly listening.

How do we know this? When somebody is talking to you, do you truly listen or are you thinking at the same time wondering what to say next? Are you comparing, judging, forming an opinion? Is this love? Do you feel loved when you are not listened to? You cannot truly listen and think at the same time. If you truly listen, by allowing your thoughts to come forth
and move out without getting caught up in them, then you are committing an act of love. It would seem that love is not what you do, but when you stop  doing or trying, then it is there naturally.

When you were first born your mind was empty, you had no memory. You were sensitive to the world around you through scent, touch, listening and feelings. As you grew older you were influenced by your parents, their beliefs, opinions and conditioning. Education added to, and reinforced these beliefs, your likes, dislikes and reactions to pain or pleasure were being moulded by the society that you lived in. You were no longer the empty vessel, but rather something very far removed from that point, a product of beliefs, comparisons and judgments. Your journey into suffering had begun.

Who you have become is not the real you. Your parents, religion, education and society do not make you who you are, they only mould you into something that they believe you ‘should be’, and this has created a ‘false self’. Is it possible to know your ‘real self’? If there is something beyond your false self, then what is the first starting point to uncover this ‘real you?’ If we see that we have become something other than what we truly are, then this ‘observation’ is the first step. This looking at the self without judgment, will set you free, as this is real self knowledge. No guru, beliefs or religion can give you self knowledge.

Observing yourself just as you are, and recognising all the striving and desire to become something, releases the constant external search on a supposed path to ambition or spiritual enlightenment.

No-one can give you self-knowledge. Only you can discover you. This discovery is the realisation and observation of the conditioned false self and what emerges from this awareness is the truth. Where fear and illusion is not, love is.

So, be true to yourself. If you find you are jealous, angry and opinionated, see that as a fact. Do not try to justify it, deny it, hide it or change it. When you look at something without labelling it, you are accepting without judgment. This releases blame. When you see that blame is not love, then you can let go of it and the suffering will end. It is said that we learn through suffering, this is not true. We as humans have suffered for thousands of years and we have learnt nothing.

When will we say, ‘enough is enough?’ Until you love, you will always suffer. You personally need to take action to find peace, love, honesty and joy inside of you, or the chaos will ensue.

You are the world and the world is you. The chaos and suffering is not ‘out there’. It is not someone else’s problem. The problem exists in each individual, making you a key element for peace on this beautiful planet; that’s how important you really are.  Only the truth will set you free.
