Why Quitting Alcohol Was The Best Decision I ever Made In My Life

by 1 Comment

Over five years ago I decided to make a monumental life altering decision to quit drinking alcohol and I believe it to be one of the best decisions I have ever made.

I started drinking at the early age of 15 and alcohol grew to be a part of the routine, the cycle of endless binging every week. I became a bartender to continue getting my drink on and even becoming a DJ to feed my craving of drinking and partying.

Alcohol was my answer to solve all of my problems. I would drink to for the temporary release of stress. I lived in depression for most of my life, alcohol was my solution to drown my depression, not realizing that it was only temporary as the depression would float back to the surface, as the alcohol would only exacerbate the depression.

So I would continue the cycle of trying to drown my problems every week with alcohol. Numbing myself with alcohol. I would drink a bottle of liquor like tequila, vodka, bourbon, as if it was water.

I would go to the bars and nightclubs every weekend and just drink my nights away. When I moved to Puerto Rico, I would then drink my day away at the beaches and rivers. My days and nights would be a complete blur.

I also lived in Hawaii and I can say I never lived there because I would drink my days and night away.

I would drink to get totally wasted.

I came to the realization that alcohol was not a solution, but a burden and a problem.

 

An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools.

-Ernest Hemingway

For you see in my time drowning myself with alcohol, I was doing just that, drowning who I was. I would drink to dance, I would drink to be happy, I would drink to be someone other than who I was.

Because the fact of the matter is that I had no clue who I really was. I was too distracted and numb by the alcohol to even get to know who I was deep inside.

I was trying to find happiness through bottle of liquor, when happiness was lying deep inside of me dormant, as happiness and the self of who I am was being held captive as my prisoners.

I found the key by finding myself in nature. I stopped drinking alcohol and then something beautiful happened, I realized the beauty of who I was. I opened my eyes to finally see the beauty of the world around me. I noticed the sky above, the beautiful clouds, the sun. I noticed the trees around me, the birds singing. I noticed LIFE and the beauty of life.

If I was drunk, I would not truly have appreciated this beauty!

 

I realized that I am so much more than the alcohol that consumed me and that in life there is so much more than giving in to alcohol.

For me I had the strong will power and the beginning of my self discipline to quit alcohol overnight and I never once looked back because there is nothing to look back to because now I look forward. I look forward to many clear minded days of enjoying this beauty that goes unnoticed by the weary eye. I speak of the beauty inside us all and the beauty of life.

Being alcohol-free, my mind is clearer. I make better life choices. I eat better. I nourish my body and mind daily. My life simply flows better. I am more mindful and have a natural high on life. I finally have control of my life instead of giving control to the alcohol. Long gone are the days of me stumbling around with a slurred speech.

We have this one sole life and it shouldn’t be seen through the eyes of a bottle of liquor. It should be appreciated and cherished. Every moment we have should be truly valued.

I see people here in Puerto Rico and see that many go to the beach to drink. So I implore all of those people where ever you may be reading this who think they need alcohol, to just stop for a day and take the time to observe your surroundings. Listen and appreciate it. there is so much more to life than drinking it away.  It’s okay to say NO!

You have the key to stop the endless cycle, this never ending routine. So go to a place in nature and enjoy it and take the time to get to know who you are. Because who you are won’t be found through alcohol. Happiness will not be found through alcohol. It will be found in you!

I never felt better and more alive than when I quit drinking alcohol. I am more focused, I am much happier.

Time to start feeling fully alive and there is not better time than NOW!

I hope you found this posting inspiring and if anyone needs advice or someone to talk to. Please feel free to contact me.

Inspirational Quotes: G.I. Gurdjieff On Liberation

by Leave a Comment

“LIBERATION LEADS TO LIBERATION. These are the first words of truth — not truth in quotation marks but truth in the real meaning of the word; truth which is not merely theoretical, not simply a word, but truth that can be realized in practice. The meaning behind these words may be explained as follows:

By liberation is meant the liberation which is the aim of all schools, all religions, at all times.
This liberation can indeed be very great. All men desire it and strive after it. But it cannot be attained without the first liberation, a lesser liberation.

The great liberation is liberation from influences outside us. The lesser liberation is liberation from influences within us.
At first, for beginners, this lesser liberation appears to be very great, for a beginner depends very little on external influences. Only a man who has already become free of inner influences falls under external influences.
Inner influences prevent a man from falling under external influences. Maybe it is for the best. Inner influences and inner slavery come from many varied sources and many independent factors — independent in that sometimes it is one thing and sometimes another, for we have many enemies.
There are so many of these enemies that life would not be long enough to struggle with each of them and free ourselves from each one separately. So we must find a method, a line of work, which will enable us simultaneously to destroy the greatest possible number of enemies within us from which these influences come.
I said that we have many independent enemies, but the chief and most active are vanity and self-love. One teaching even calls them representatives and messengers of the devil himself. For some reason they are also called Mrs. Vanity and Mr. Self-Love.
As I have said, there are many enemies. I have mentioned only these two as the most fundamental. At the moment it is hard to enumerate them all. It would be difficult to work on each of them directly and specifically, and it would take too much time since there are so many. So we have to deal with them indirectly in order to free ourselves from several at once.
These representatives of the devil stand unceasingly at the threshold which separates us from the outside, and prevent not only good but also bad external influences from entering. Thus they have a good side as well as a bad side.
For a man who wishes to discriminate among the influences he receives, it is an advantage to have these watchmen. But if a man wishes all influences to enter, no matter what they may be — for it is impossible to select only the good ones — he must liberate himself as much as possible, and finally altogether, from these watchmen, whom some considerable undesirable.
For this there are many methods, and a great number of means. Personally I would advise you to try freeing yourselves and to do so without unnecessary theorizing, by simple reasoning, active reasoning, within yourselves.”

What Is The Meaning Of Spirituality According To Sadhguru

What Is The Meaning Of Spirituality According To Sadhguru

The Meaning of spirituality. I like to share this article because I could relate to Sadguru’s definition of spirituality and so it spoke to me because it was how I would describe it as well. Thus why the name of my website being the Cosmic Freedom. I am on that path towards that cosmic freedom as I have been removing the layers upon layers that has weighed me down.

Enjoy what Sadhguru has to say about the meaning of spirituality

Editor’s Note: This article is based on an excerpt from the December 2014 issue of Forest Flower.

Oscar-winning filmmaker Shekhar Kapur asks Sadhguru what freedom really is. Sadhguru explains that spirituality essentially means moving towards ultimate freedom, and breaking everything that limits us.

Shekar Kapur: Sadhguru, you have said many times that the highest goal is freedom. Freedom from what?

Sadhguru: Generally, before 1947 in India, if you said “freedom,” people only thought, “If the British go away, we are free.” That was the idea of freedom at that time. The British went away. Now, are we free? Not really. Politically free – yes. But in no other way are we really free. So, freedom may mean different things to different people, depending upon the context of their individual life at a certain moment.

But leaving the political, economic and other aspects of freedom aside, do you see that essentially, as a human being, as a piece of existence, we are living within certain limitations? That you are a limited entity? Do you also see there is something constantly longing within you to be a little more than what you are?

Shekar Kapur: Yes.

Sadhguru: There is something within you which cannot stand boundaries. Or, in other words, there is something within you which wants to become boundless. What can be boundless? A physical form can be small or big, but never boundless. There is something within you which is longing to touch a dimension which is beyond the physical.

There is something within you which is longing to be spiritual. “Spiritual” does not mean looking up or looking down, or praying or going to the temple. “Spiritual” essentially means you are in an experience which is beyond the limitations of the physical. That means you are in a boundless space. This longing is always there in every human being. Either you are approaching it in installments, or you are consciously going for the Ultimate.

Shekar Kapur: So why, in my mind, is the Ultimate so blurred? Why can’t I imagine it? The moment you talk about something measurable, I can imagine it. But how do I aspire for something that I am unable to imagine?

Sadhguru: That is why you should never aspire for something that you are unable to imagine, that you do not know. If you want to become free, you should never think of freedom. Only look at the ropes which bind you.

If you cut these ropes which bind you, there is some sense of freedom. Then you realize, there is another set of ropes that bind you. If you cut that, there is freedom. But then you notice there is another set. It does not matter how many sets of ropes bind you, there must be a point where if you cut enough of them, nothing binds you anymore, right? The number may be big, but still, it cannot be infinite.

Only freedom can be infinite. Bondage cannot be limitless. Only freedom can be limitless. This is not just semantics and ideas. In terms of life’s experience, don’t waste your time talking about or thinking about freedom or the Ultimate. The body is a limitation, the mind is a limitation, emotions are limitations – but they are also possibilities. Look at what binds you now, and see how to transcend this. This is growth.

“Mystic’s Musings” by Sadhguru offers more on spirituality through the mystic eye. Sadhguru keeps us teetering on the edge of logic and captivates us with his answers to questions relating to life, death, rebirth, suffering, karma, and the journey of the Self.

Poetry: Suzy Kassem – Coming Forth Into The Light (On transformation)

by Leave a Comment

COMING FORTH INTO THE LIGHT

I was born the day
I thought:
What is?
What was?
And
What if?

I was transformed the day
My ego shattered,
And all the superficial, material
Things that mattered
To me before,
Suddenly ceased
To matter.

I really came into being
The day I no longer cared about
What the world thought of me,
Only on my thoughts for
Changing the world.
― Suzy Kassem

Why The Definition Of God Should Be What You Want It To Be

Why The Definition Of God Should Be What You Want It To Be

What is the definition of god or could the meaning of god really be defined. We live in this world that we have allowed ourselves to be manipulated by others into what to think. Religion was created to control you, to control your mind.  As you now have groups among groups divided into believing in their god. In what someone’s thought of what a god is.

I was an “atheist”, but I feel that just divides us all into those groups I spoke of. That us against them mentality we still hold. I am more free thinking than I was before and  I always say our perceptions should change into a new reality. Stubborn thoughts lead us no where, but to our own decrepit demise.  It’s all about shifting your perceptions, to see those windows, to jump through that window and free fall to see the other side.

“I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.”
― Albert Camus,

Before it was fuck your damn god because everyone shove’s religion down your throat, that mentality of  you must believe in what I believe in or something is wrong with you. Like how we choose a political side and say the left is mightier than the right or vice versa as we stay bickering among ourselves into the divided groups and categories, that proverbial box that we have closed ourselves in.

 “God is a circle whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere.”
― Voltaire

Being an atheist was being closed into that box as well. It was the same bickering among each other. It was that same thing as what religious people would do but in the reverse. No you must believe that there is no god, and the going back and forth and we all know it’s not going anywhere because of those stubborn thoughts that we hold and don’t want to let go of because we fear change, we fear thinking differently, we conform to a routine and that is how we have made life. Life has become a routine, just like our mindset and we just keep regurgitating those thoughts.

“God has no religion.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

Now I think a bit more differently, thus this blog posting. Now what is the definition of god? I think “god” should be whatever you define it as. Not what we all think or know as god, but god should be something true to them. God is whatever you want it to be, god could be the universe, god could be the stars, god could be Gaia, nature and with that being said, god could be CANNABIS! God could be FREEDOM, or it could be that god is in YOU! Collectively inside all of us. The trees, the rivers and oceans and all the species around us making us collectively one. God could be your conscious, god could be your soul. But whatever god you hold, should be true to you.

 

trippygod

There was a time where there were many gods and goddesses, before Christianity banished them all and spoon fed the world  into what the world NEEDED to think, usually by force or face condemnation, just like most religions do to this very day, as if somehow we still live in the dark ages. You must believe it and generation after generation, it was all passed down. Spoon feeding after spoon-feeding.

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
― Epicurus

So my question is if Christianity never told us what we needed to believe in. Never controlled and manipulated, Would that concept of a god creep into your head and would you have a definition of what it is and what it means to you on your own accord.  Would you question reality and keep asking questions instead of being born with that thought planted inside you, only to flourish into the same regurgitated thinking.

godatheitst

By no means am I trying to offend no one religious. But I feel that we need to unplug any thoughts we have been instilled with and plug ourselves with the what if’s and the how and why’s. Taking a step back and seeing the bigger picture and letting it all soak in. Letting go is true freedom. Freedom to what binds us. Let’s stop the cycle and let the next generations to think for themselves and to develop their own opinions freely.

“Religion is still useful among the herd – that it helps their orderly conduct as nothing else could. The crude human animal is in-eradicably superstitious, and there is every biological reason why they should be.
Take away his Christian god and saints, and he will worship something else…”
― H.P. Lovecraft

There are a wave of people growing to that concept, our children should not be regurgitated clones made in our image, I wrote a blog about raising betters seeds not clones which can be read by clicking here., they should have their own individuality instead of how we want to mold their mind to be, to follow their own path instead of your own.

Respect is what we need to grow, respect and tolerance to the intolerable things we deem in this world, our world. Starts with respect and consideration.  We need to respect and consider other people’s view of god but we must break from that dogma. Deep down question everything.

“I tried to believe that there is a God, who created each of us in His own image and likeness, loves us very much, and keeps a close eye on things. I really tried to believe that, but I gotta tell you, the longer you live, the more you look around, the more you realize, something is fucked up.”
― George Carlin

I mean we could have been made, engineered by aliens, shit, aliens could be our gods. They could be among us right now. That might sound crazy, but anything could be a possibility. We must think  it might be a possibility we don’t know.

“And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence”
― Bertrand Russell

We will never know and that’s the mystery of this beautiful sole life that we have , but I believe the bickering and this global divide we have with ourselves needs to end so we can enjoy this life in peace together. I know that sounds far-fetched but it’s a vision of wanting to see a better world where we have our own individuality as unique and special each that every one of us is.

god1

Our beautiful souls trapped in a shell with a conscious that has been trapped and enslaves with shackles of ignorance. We need to accept each other as we are. Accept that the way we all think, should be different because every thought should be embraced, peaking through the windows in life. To evolve further than staying in the same ol’ rut.

“Independence is my happiness, and I view things as they are, without regard to place or person; my country is the world, and my religion is to do good.”
― Thomas Paine,

Let’s spread positivity instead and even that could be the definition of god, instead of spreading and smothering ourselves into conformity. In a way people might view me as an atheist or agnostic, but I have my god and I won’t share what my god is because it’s my god and my sole definition of what god is and that is something special we should hold to ourselves.

religion

Maybe share it with a few other souls, but never to spread that my god is better than any other gods and never to spread a belief into others. But one true god that people now hold is the fact that money is now their god. Money is something people blindly worship a paper dollar. They hold on to a belief that without it they would perish, behold the mighty dollar. But by all means if you want money to be your god, then hold that god close and be true to yourself. Let it be special. But god is what you make it.

“Because here’s something else that’s weird but true: in the day-to day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship—be it JC or Allah, be it YHWH or the Wiccan Mother Goddess, or the Four Noble Truths, or some inviolable set of ethical principles—is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It’s the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you. On one level, we all know this stuff already. It’s been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, epigrams, parables; the skeleton of every great story. The whole trick is keeping the truth up front in daily consciousness.”
― David Foster Wallace,

In closing, if someone chooses not to believe in any god. Then that is their decision, just like it is your decision to believe in a god. We hold something that is beautiful, the freedom of choice, the freedom of decision and the freedom to think for yourself. No one should be stripped of those freedoms just because you believe in what you believe in because we are just limiting our own consciousness. If you need religion to live, if you need a god. That’s great, but don’t act as you are morally superior than anyone else because of it.  As stated by Thomas Paine above, To do good is my religion and I will go into that in a further post.

By the way this was a stoned thought of the day brought to you by purple widow blended with super silver haze. 70 percent sativa with that mild indica kick. Hai Karate!

Do you think we all must believe in a god?

Do you think we all must believe in one god? If you do believe in a god, why must you feel that everyone must worship your god?

Be The Buddha, Not The Buddhist

by 2 Comments

Be the Buddha, not the Buddhist

I had this thought for a while, so now i get to share it with the world.  Be the Buddha, not the Buddhist. Now what do i mean by this. Well,  The word Buddha is a Sanskrit word which means “The Awakened One”, one who is awakened to Reality, who understands true nature of the mind, the world, and all sentient beings.

The Buddha lived approximately 3000 years ago (some say 2500). He was an Indian prince named Siddhartha, who gave up his throne in order to search for the Truth, to find a way to bring relief to the sufferings of humanity. After many years of diligent practice, he reached Supreme Enlightenment while sitting under a bodhi tree. He then exclaimed, “Wonder of wonders! All sentient beings are inherently complete and perfect! But they do not realize it because of their delusions and cravings.”  

There upon He was known as Sakyamuni (or Gautama) Buddha, and embarked on an endless, compassionate journey to teach living beings how to see Reality, how to gain true wisdom, how to free themselves, and how to achieve true peace and joy. His teaching is known as the Dharma. The Buddha taught for 49 years until he entered nirvana at the age of 80.

Now what I mean when I say be the Buddha, be the Buddhist it can also be applied to be the Christ, not the christian,  same could be said about Confucius, Epicurus,  and all the other enlightened souls of the past. They all found their enlightenment, their own paths. I never read anything about the Buddha before, I walked onto the current path on my own. A path to better myself to better the world, a path to enlighten others and share any wisdom I might have with others that might be useful for their enlightenment.

But I don’t want any followers, I would like for the enlightened souls to walk their own path, to find their true selves, to go beyond their infinite minds. Go on your own paths in this world, but let’s walk it together as brothers and sisters side by side in unity. I always say it’s not about you thinking like me or following my ideas and ideals, but to take those ideas and make them your own by making it work for you.

 “I shall no longer be instructed by the Yoga Veda or the Aharva Veda, or the ascetics, or any other doctrine whatsoever. I shall learn from myself, be a pupil of myself; I shall get to know myself, the mystery of Siddhartha.” He looked around as if he were seeing the world for the first time.”
― Hermann Hesse

The same could be said about the Buddha or the words of any of the great thinkers of our time. Don’t follow in their footprints, take the good from everything and make your own footprints in this world.  Just like SOME words from the bible. Take the good words out, apply it to your own spirituality. The words are the seeds that should blossom, encourage and grow your own thoughts, to make you think. To look at their perspectives and create your own.

“One thing: you have to walk, and create the way by your walking; you will not find a ready-made path. It is not so cheap, to reach to the ultimate realization of truth. You will have to create the path by walking yourself; the path is not ready-made, lying there and waiting for you. It is just like the sky: the birds fly, but they don’t leave any footprints. You cannot follow them; there are no footprints left behind.”
― Osho

We often confine our infinite minds to doctrines, we say we are this or that and we only want to listen to one perspective. I think that is one of the problems with religions, we just stay confined with those thoughts and we don’t want to hear anything else and so we stay constrained to this constant frame of thought. Never expanding the limitlessness of our minds.

Our minds are like sponges and we should feed it with all the good it could take in. We could learn from those from the past and expand our consciousness further, we can be enlightened to the reality around us if we choose to broaden our horizons. We can enlighten others by our own true words that grows inside us like the majestic trees that surround us.

“All over the world, people are struggling with these new conditions and have been forced to reassess their religious traditions, which were designed for a very different type of society. They are finding that the old forms of faith no longer work for them; they cannot provide the enlightenment and consolation that human beings seem to need. As a result, men and women are trying to find new ways of being religious. Like the reformers and prophets of the first Axial Age, they are attempting to build upon the insights of the past in a way that will take human beings forward into the new world they have created for themselves.”- Karen Armstrong

I always had a notion that we are all telepathically connected in such a way where our thoughts are shared with one another from different parts of the world as many souls are becoming enlightened all over this world. Just like in that era where you had all these great thinkers, maybe we are telepathically connected or maybe we are awakening up to this illusion we continue to live in. Waking up to the suffering that goes on in this world. Awakening to the yearning for a better world.

What is taking place now is a revolution of the mind and has been brewing for a while since the age of Aquarius  in the 60’s up onto now and it has arisen by the turmoil this world faces.  But it seems like every time we are in the brink of the edge of pushing humanity forward to a better tomorrow, we continue to hit a plateau. We have had our creativeness and our potentials to unleash our mind tapped by this artificial world, masked by our selfishness, greed and our own ego. Masked by flags and borders.

One of the key elements missing from moving forward is unity. We will never move forward as brothers and sisters when we can’t see that we are all one. One of the problems we can’t see that have kept us divided and has tapped our true potentials are the governments that control us. They have and continue to control our minds. They have kept us away from each other. They have created racial tension among us when there should not be one.

“It isn’t by getting out of the world that we become enlightened, but by getting into the world…by getting so tuned in that we can ride the waves of our existence and never get tossed because we become the waves.”
― Ken Kesey

Religion is another tool to control our minds and a very outdated concept. If you choose to believe in a deity or a “god” then believe in whatever you want as I wrote about in this blog entitled the definition of god,  I say god is what you make it. God could be the universe to me and our  translation of what god is, should be respected as long as you harm no one into believing what god is and what we should or should not worship.

But what we have in this world is people who want to shove their god in people’s throat and that is no way of progression. It’s the hypocrisy of religion, where people want to worship a god and act all godly, but are the total opposite. We need a revolution of the mind and spirit.  We need to get rid of outdated concepts and start to evolve instead of being stuck in time.

“Enlightenment is man’s release from his self-incurred tutelage. Tutelage is man’s inability to make use of his understanding without direction from another. Self-incurred is this tutelage when its cause lies not in lack of reason but in lack of resolution and courage to use it without direction from another. Sapere aude! ‘Have courage to use your own reason!’- that is the motto of enlightenment.”
― Immanuel Kant

Ideas and shared thoughts are what we need more of. We have become afraid of new thoughts and ideas, we have become afraid of change. We have become afraid of our own shadows that often reveal who we truly are. We fear the unknown and we have sat comfortably in the box of conformity for far too long passing this world over to the next generations as we want no part in the change, as we wipe our hands clean.

When we must embrace change, embrace thoughts and ideas as they are the perspectives to see things in a new light. We must open up ourselves to these ideas even if you don’t agree with them, we are often looking to dispute other people’s ideas, so we create turmoil, these divisions with one another.  Just open your mind, your ears and yourself and as I said before you take those ideas and thoughts and take pieces that might or might work for you, just look at it as another perception to our reality.

Instead of bickering among each other, we can offer other ideas. It’s not all about following each others idea, that is what makes each and every one of us unique, to live according to your beliefs. Although in this world we have become a flock conforming to how society lives that we have lost our individual uniqueness.

path

So be the Buddha, not the Buddhist. Let’s push the boundaries of our minds and unleash the true potential of our minds. Let’s change ourselves, rethink our principles everyday, the same perspective I once had yesterday, can change today and that’s how we must keep evolving. Constantly thinking and rethinking and questioning everything including your own stubborn thoughts that dwell deep inside the abyss of our minds.

Change every aspect of our lives to change this world around us. Ultimately we are the ones who shape this world and we have shaped this world into a square box. It’s time to shape it into the paradise it could become instead of the hell we continue to make it!

Though you may travel the world to find the beautiful, you must have it within you or you will find it not.
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
