Relationship; Radial v Directional Love

Woah. 
If y'all wanna know what my thoughts are on relationships and love are right now, I present this Bentinho Massaro. The whole video is great, so watch to the end for sure, but I've just included quotes/transcription from the first 8 minutes. Golden.

///“When you find bliss in the feeling state, when you prioritize feeling good over the way it manifests, when you really gain that maturity, when you really bump your head into the wall of being attached to experiences ... you will learn that what is true bliss is the vibrational state itself, ... not the ways in which it represents itself…

“So it’s very self-centered, in a sense, but in a very beautiful way. You become a master of your state of being and of your reality --which you already are, but you regain it consciously, intentionally, and you clarify your vibrations. And then, everyone will love you. And you have more than enough to choose from.

“Then at least you have found that what you’re looking for is your true ability to activate bliss & union & unconditional love. And you will start to get this very subtle, distinctive sense that unconditional love feels amazing and conditional love, even slightly so, feels terrible.

At some point it’s just no longer worth it … if it’s not relevant, if it’s not true, if it’s not free, if it’s not radial and naturally reciprocated through the radial nature of love, then there is no need to go down that path.

"You don’t want to sacrifice the super-accelerated way of living for any dude or any chick or any relationship or any promise of a better future.

Because you know as soon as you believe in the promise of a better future, you’re actually lowering your frequency now, which will generate a worse future." ///

Hell yeah, Bentinho. Preach

Letting Go, a brief book review

After starting Letting Go, the Pathway of Surrender, by David R. Hawkins 6 months ago, I've finally finished today.
Wow. Cannot recommend this book enough.
Throughout the months, I experienced a few words or passage the strongly spoke to me.
This quote gives a summarizing idea of what the book is like.
"So, serious spiritual work is a continuous willingness to let things go as they arise. It is the willingness to surrender wanting to control everything as it arises, the willingness to surrender wanting to change it, and to have it our way. Very often there will be illusions about the nature of Reality that also have to be let go. That there's a good and a bad, a desirable and an undesirable; that's all in the mind. In Reality, the Sun shines and then the clouds come; the rain falls and the grass grows up and dies; the stock market goes up and down; age comes and goes; people arrive and leave. And, so, there's the ebb and flow. If you are at this one point of the cycle, there's no use in crying about it because the cycle will cycle itself out. By surrendering to whatever is cycling up, it eventually disappears. You disappeared by choosing to be one with it and refusing to want to change it as it arises. Do this continuously, no matter what, nonstop."
"Experience arises like a note of music. The minute you hear a note, it's already passing away. The instant you've heard it, it's already dissolving. So every single moment is dissolving as it arises. Let go of anticipating the next moment, trying to control it, trying to hang on to the moment that has just passed. Let go clinging to what has just occurred. Let go trying to control what you think is about to occur. Then you live in an infinite space of non-time and non-event. There is an infinite peace beyond description. And you are home."

The Kogi People

I came across two feature-length documentaries, created twenty years apart, on youtube about the Kogi people. The Kogi people have managed to preserve a culture from the pre-colonial era. (woah!)  They escaped during the Spanish Inquisition and tucked themselves away from civilization in remote mountains of Santa Marta, Columbia.

Some things I found fascinating about them:
They build with nature and do not cut down trees.
They consider the earth our Mother, their civilization being 'big brother' and us, 'little brother'
They raise their spiritual leaders in caves for the first 9 years of their lives. Can you imagine what it'd be like to have only a verbal & mental understanding of the world and then come out to a visual universe that you never could imagine? I'd like to think I'd have much more reverence and wonder for the mystique of the world--especially nature.

I learned so much about humanity and myself: highly recommend.

Breath

Something useful I have learned recently is the power of breath. My breath can calm me down, fire me up, or drift into the background as my thoughts take over. A constant; the deep breath flushes.
Like a window from the body to the unconscious, my breath lands me into the present.
