Living on a CHOICE

Morpheus: You take the blue pill - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.


Hi there folks, this posting has the purpose of wrapping up all the cognitive reasoning we have been doing till now. The upcoming ones will be dealing more with the practice of meditation itself, which, after all, is the key to open the doors of a more deep perception of reality.

By now, if you read and thought about all that that has been said here, you might be asking yourself: "ok, why should I care about all this after all?" "Is there something really worth in all this that can change my life for the better?"

To answer that, which really has to come from you, I invite you to investigate the following questions: In our pursuit of happiness what is the result we have achieved so far? Have we found it? Or we still running around like a fly that hits the window over and over because it is not seeing the glass? Is the question of happiness really clear to us? Is our pursuit based on our sensory sensations, whether I like, dislike, or I am indifferent to something, or it is based on feelings such as compassion, love, joy and equanimity? Can these feelings make us achieve peace of mind? Can our sensory pleasures help us achieve peace of mind? If none of those, then what can?

Therefore the next postings will be like an invitation to actually practice a way in which you can obtain YOUR OWN answers to these questions. After all, the only way we can really say we know something for sure, is by experiencing for ourselves. Otherwise we will just be like parrots repeating words we heard without never questioning them or being aware of their true meaning.









Neo to the Matrix at the end of the first movie: "... I don't know the future. I didn't come here to tell you how this is going to end. I came here to tell how it's going to begin. I'm going to hang up this phone, and then show these people what you don't want them to see. I'm going to show them a world without you. A world without rules or controls, borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there is a choice I leave to you"
