Emotional Rainbow

EMOTIONAL RAINBOW


                        Today I learned something new, thinking about how our brain absorbs information, emotions and feelings like a sponge, and at the same time filters them, a picture of a rainbow came into my mind. I believe I can use it as an example to make my point with the powerful lesson I've been given today.
                       First, I would like to define what a rainbow is, and according to Wikipedia I found this: 
                 "A rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that is caused by reflection of light in water droplets in the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicolored arc.
Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun.
In a "primary rainbow", the arc shows red on the outer part and violet on the inner side. This rainbow is caused by light being refracted while entering a droplet of water, then reflected inside on the back of the droplet and refracted again when leaving it."
                   Now the question is, what does a rainbow has to do with us? the answer can be quite complex, yet very simple. If you believe we are energy, and I truly believe we are, then you can see that a rainbow is a spectrum of light caused by light being refracted and filtered while entering a droplet of water. If we are energy, and we are enlightened beings full of light, in a body that has a large percentage of water, is it possible to have an emotional rainbow?
               The answer is YES, and it happens every single time we absorb and filter our emotions. 
              Many of us have heard about the gold pot at the end of a rainbow, and how fascinating would it be to find one, but I learned that in an emotional rainbow, the treasure to be found at the end of it is something better. It's a treasure from the universe, and it is the real YOU!
              Being spiritual beings having a human experience, we notice how the sun is responsible for the light that awakes planet earth every day, and earth absorbs light and filters it to make plants grow, give us oxygen and food. We do the same thing, in an emotional way, every time we wake up we receive light, we absorb it, we filter it, and it makes and defines our present moment and the rest of our day, and that is the seed for tomorrow, that leads your life.
              A rainbow has 7 colors, blue, yellow, red, orange, green, indigo and violet. Guess what? our emotional rainbow has the same, but they have a different meaning.
              Here is the meaning of them in an emotional perspective, taken from: http://crystal-cure.com/color-emotions2.html
              
             
Blue = SPIRITUALITY


blue energy stones
Blue is the color of distance - oceans, skies, the heavens. The energy of blue helps us to look beyond the immediate environment, expanding our perceptions towards the unknown.

Blue is the color of Divinity. It brings:
  • Peace and understanding
  • Enhances the easy flow of communication with yourself or others
  • Calms and relaxes
Yellow = WISDOM


yellow energy stones
Yellow is naturally associated with the sun itself, and so with its life giving and sustaining energy.

Yellow enriches, lightens and activates many of the systems of the body. It's bright sunny energy brings about:
  • clarity of thought
  • orderliness
  • memory improvement
  • better decision making skills
  • alleviates confusion
Red = VITALITY

red energy stones
Red is the color with the longest wavelength, being the nearest visible light to infrared in the electromagnetic spectrum.

We feel in red - ACTIVITY. The red ray furnishes sustenance for the physical body. It brings about:
  • energy
  • enthusiasm
  • interest and passion
  • security

When blue is in harmony with yellow and red, there is peace and balance in body and mind. From this trinity of primary colors emanate the secondary colors...

Orange = CREATIVE ENERGY



orange energy stones
Orange combines red and yellow. It contains the fiery energy of red with the wisdom and control of yellow. Orange is a dynamic energy like red but more thoughtful and controlled.

Orange brings about:
  • creativity
  • playfulness
  • exploration on a practical level
  • relief from boredom
  • equilibrium
Green = LIFE, BALANCE, NATURE


green energy stones
Green is the merging of yellow (mind) and blue (spirit). It is located exactly at the point of color balance - midway between red and violet on the color spectrum.

The human eye is able to recognize more variation in the color green than in any other color.

Its energy contains:
  • harmony
  • sympathy
  • health
  • abundance
  • balance
  • growth and expansion
Indigo = INFINITY


indigo energy stones
Indigo amplifies the energy of blue in a profound way. At a physical level, while blue is calming, indigo is sedating. It deepens and turns blue energy inward.

The indigo ray symbolizes the bridge between the finite and the infinite and opens the door to the mystical borderland.

While blue energy is fast, Indigo energy is more often lightening fast.
  • opens the subconscious
  • spiritual attainment
  • self-mastery
  • wisdom
  • sudden awareness
  • intuition
  • psychic abilities
Violet = HIGHEST ELEMENT OF SPIRITUAL MASTERY



violet energy stones
Violet is the ray of spiritual mastery. It is the highest and most subtle specialization of light, being at the opposite end of the color spectrum to red.

It should be viewed as both a completion as well as a beginning of the energy vibration beyond the visible color spectrum.

Violet is a combination of both red and blue and this is key to understanding this color. It brings a stabilizing energy to the fractiousness of red. It lends practicality to the undirected spaciousness of blue.

  • darker tones are associated with sorrow
  • deep purple signifies high spiritual attainment
  • pale lilac brings love for humanity
  • bluish purple brings idealism
  • sparks the imagination and inspiration
  • integrates other energies for healing purposes

              Enough said, I hope you understand that in life, we need to absorb the positive and optimistic thoughts, emotions and feelings, and filter or discard the negative ones that stop us from being, and blind us to acknowledge who we really are, and what we are really made of. I hope your emotional rainbow shines forever with such bright colors, that will remind you the treasure of being who you really are. Be thankful, be humble, be wise, but never allow the rainbow to fade or disappear.  God bless you all.

Namaste

Unlearning, the key to Emotional and Spiritual Detox



          Sometimes, the more you learn the dumbest you are, unlearning what becomes useless is a good way to really start learning.


                        Here I am again, in front of this white page, a mirror to my soul, another source of wisdom and a spot where I can freely express my emotions thru words in the form of letters. Maybe people get to read this, I really don't know, but it's a good exercise to help me understand and acknowledge many things.
                                Today I took a step back in order to keep moving forward. I decided to start a process that I call Emotional and Spiritual Detox or E.S.D. As usual I'll be very brief, I know many people don't like reading a lot, and they crave a message that goes straight to the point, that's what I call clear and precise communication, keeping it simple but powerful.
                                I have to mention that we are all spiritual beings having a human experience, and after you really understand and digest this fact, your life takes another dimension that leads you to a whole new truth.
                            We are born perfect, we are wide awake, but since that day, our human brain becomes a sponge, and it absorbs many things thru our senses, shaping who you become, not who you really are. And where you develop, and with who tells a lot about yourself and your close friends and relatives. That helps you figure out how you behave in certain ways, and what really makes you you, or why others make you. Everything becomes an influence, from media, to a whole collection of what I call "systems" that can be political point of views, religion, education as we know it, among others.
                         So at the end, humans created these systems in order to control people and society, that's how it has always been, and that is how it will always be, no doubt about it.
                             Now I understand why I felt like a rebel sometimes, I wasn't comfortable with many things and rules. Specially those that come from generation to generation. I was like, are we supposed to be like that or we have freedom to choose how I really want to think and act like?, understanding and embracing respect and moral rules of course. Well, I decided to believe in myself, and I take good things from those systems, they are not bad at all, but I keep away from the controlling part of them that put people in zombie mode and in a state of trance. I didn't want to be another robot, I wanted to have full control of my emotions, feelings, actions, and more importantly, about my FAITH.
                       That's how you become a leader and an agent of change for yourself, others, and to correct what you think needs to be corrected. So it takes one simple but firm step, emotional and spiritual detox. That's why I tell people that think that I'm a Buddhist that I am not.  I'm spiritual, it means freedom from religion, faith in yourself and a higher being, that I call God. So I might have some small Buddhas around my house for decoration, but to me Buddha means "the enlightened you" so I understand it's about me, not about someone else. I take full responsibility now for my feelings, actions and emotions. And I feel the main character in this human being role. 
                           Once you take this important detox step, you'll clean yourself from a lot of paradigms that kept you a victim of others, it will introduce you to your real self, the most perfect being in this universe, a mirror of god himself, and negativity and other things that were causing struggles in your learning process will disappear, and you will be lead with divine guidance to the root of everything, your REAL SELF.

Being Awake, the missing link, the key to everything


                            BEING AWAKE, THE MISSING LINK, THE KEY TO EVERYTHING
                                                   





            Today I feel blessed, I'm wide awake, I'm in a continuous process of living in a state of channeling pure and divine wisdom, and experiencing my infinite powerful soul trapped in this perfect machine called the human body.
           If something can define perfection, is the human body, the most amazing ship in which god and the universe sent us to enjoy this amazing trip called LIFE.
           I can notice the different person I've become after I realized this. To me it has been more than taking a spiritual path or getting to know myself better. To me this is about finding the biggest treasure someone can find, the missing link, this is the root of everything. Once you realize it, infinite wisdom and power takes over in your life, and miracles are just a part of your every day process. You understand the illusion of life, and the magic and beauty of who you really are. You stop being a puppet, a victim, you discover why you are a piece in a million pieces of this big and mysterious puzzle called LIFE.
           We all struggle and focus on the symptoms, that is what I call "our biggest mistake." That ignorance of life leads us to make mistakes after mistakes, to confuse things, to get away from the root, the only truth, we forget who we really are, what we are really made of, and we get trapped so easily!
          Life is simple, yet we make it so complicate it. We use our logical mind to fill it with external information, shaped by negativity, polluted by our parents, friends, couples and ancestors, by what we read, hear, see, or understand. We do all of this in auto mode, we are in auto pilot most of the time. We created the same system planes have to have a "safe landing." 
          Sorry to say this, but this is what I call being stupid and a good way to avoiding the real you, and killing your authentic and real self to stop yourself and others to show your real powers and abilities. The tools with you were sent here to CREATE. Which is the result of all the experiences you had from past lives, who makes and determines the power of your soul. And that, believe me, is what really matters and that will really matter forever and ever.
         That's how people get lost, make mistakes, get depressed, let negativity take over and kill their hearts and souls. They believe things that will never be true. They embrace religions as their path to god, or whatever they want to call it, forgetting that this systems are like politic, they were all created by humans, moved by fear to control others.
          Think twice when you say that you are a man of faith, are you for real? do you believe in yourself? yes? then why am I seeing that you are always lighting candles, praying and asking god for help and guidance? why bother him so much, why are you so lazy and don't look within yourself? all you need is inside of you, stop praying and start accepting life as it is and be a leader! use your own divine power to create and get out of the hole you let yourself to be in. Yes! everything that happens to you is because you let it happen or you let people to do it to you. Nobody can hurt you but yourself. That's one of the consequences of not being awake, and ignoring many things that stop us from being. 
         We are all blessed to be here, yet we don't care must of the time. We are living this journey as a destination, and it's so wrong! people are never aware of their surroundings, they have a hard time finding out what they want, what they care about, bust most importantly, they make sure their souls, hearts and real selves go in auto pilot, and go blind until they realize with time how wrong they were.
        I'm not trying to insult anyone or make anyone mad with these thoughts, it's what I believe in, and it works for me, I don't pretend to change who you think you are, I just want to share this with whoever wants to listen and acknowledged it.
        Once you start your life from scratch from this point of view, everything changes forever! you stop thinking outside the box, you get rid of the box, as Deepak Chopra says in one of his amazing quotes. Then you become authentic, you become real, you set yourself free for all those slave paradigms that make your heavenly life on earth a continuous hell.
        You learn the root of love, wisdom, spirituality, and that is the missing link we have all been missing. So stop thinking that external things are going to solve your "problems" or "needs" that's your ego (false and dumb idea about yourself) causing troubles in your negative mind, confusing your heart and soul, and leading you to mistakes after mistakes.
        Embrace being awake as your only reality, and this will be the only advice that will work for you, today, tomorrow and forever. It's the key to make that breach between your words, thoughts and promises into real and tangible actions. It's the root, the key to life and the universe, the bridge between human and divine, yourself and god (all our atoms of souls combined) it's the answer between ignorance and pure wisdom. It's not enough to be smart, you HAVE to BE WISE. Being awake is living in a never ending good advice that will lead you with your heart and divine guidance, without fear, full of courage and power, you stop avoiding change and accept it as the only possible way to keep growing!
      WAKE UP NOW, trust me, it will lead you to the real truth. God bless us all.

Namaste
