Lighter than Air

How are your wings coming along? How fast can you fly up high now? I certainly hope that at this point, you are practicing this yourself too. And if not, indulge me with your company while I take you on another trip. I promise it won't hurt, maybe just a little bit, as I'm in a bit of pain myself.

Exhale

Have you ever wondered why, before embarking on any meditation practice, you are advised to sit down and relax? The answer lies in one simple yet profound concept: Silence.

Our daily lives are filled with a cacophony of distractions, both external and internal. This noise creates turbulence in our hearts, making it difficult to connect with our inner source of power, vortexes, cores, and joy, which elevates our beings towards the divine beauty hidden across all creation.

Inhale

When you sit down, take deep breaths, and allow yourself to let it all go for a moment, you engage in a powerful ritual of regaining control and anchoring yourself in the present moment. Our attention often scatters—dwelling in past regrets or anxieties about the future. Yet, both the past and the future are mere illusions: visions that don't hold tangible existence. All we truly have is the present, the eternal now.

I plan on extending this further. There are some devices that could help me figure out which areas of my brain are processing all this information, which would shed some light and make the practice even more educational.

Focus

For instance, I recently faced a demanding week but managed to deliver most of the business projects I had pending. This gives me room to do this with more focus and absolute total joy. After a lot of meetings and progress made today, I found a moment to return to this beautiful present tense moment. Even if just for a few precious minutes, it is totally worth it.

This same grounding effect occurs when both Claudia and I take a few minutes early in the morning to walk under the sun or stand beside nature, which we are a part of. In these brief moments, we reconnect with the divine essence of life.

The more time I spend connecting with it, the more I want to stay up there, and the harder it is to return to the human-inherited roles and all unfinished business.

When you reach the source, you have already won the game.

These profound realizations have been swirling within me, touching upon the complexities of existence. Yet, such intricate concepts are challenging to convey fully in this sacred and beautiful ode to the Joy of Doing.

No matter how busy life gets, remember that tranquility and clarity are within your reach. Just sit down, breathe, and embrace the present moment. It is here, in the silence, that you can truly connect with your inner self and the divine.

Now, if you ask me, I don't 'breathe,' nor close my eyes, or get into a yoga position or asanas to meditate. No, I'm far beyond that, having bypassed those practices a very long time ago. I don't usually use my body to cast asanas, yet, there's this beauty of it whose memories go beyond my lifetime that I might one day retake.

Instead, I use music, which has been generously provided to me over the years. So many great musicians and artists have shared their material on platforms like YouTube that reaching a higher state of mind is as easy as pressing the Play Button and letting myself be carried away by the melodies where pure beauty lies.

If there's no music around, then, yes, relax your awareness and enjoy the music coming from within; it will make you fly even higher!

Matter

Matter is as important as spirit; in fact, everything is one and the same, just different polarities. When you touch a tree, you also touch its spirit, and vice versa. I won't bother explaining what spirit is, as this requires experimentation, intentionality, and determination. I can't force an egg to open nor force a seed to grow; it will all make sense when the elements are ready.

I can't help but observe everything when I walk. The 3D reality seems simpler every day, and keeping myself grounded becomes more challenging the deeper I delve into the core of things towards up high.

Imagine it is like going to a river with full tranquility, filled with cities of infinite life within, so interesting to see, watch, and observe—just as higher beings navigate through our 3D world to enjoy such beauty, with all its nuances. When you look at things from beyond, there is no longer good or evil; there is just matter and its dynamics. The journey to the absolute has all colors now. It all turns white; it all is known, and it all disappears, as there is no longer lacking of anything. So matter is now on the other side of the experience.

The material world is as divine as the spiritual realm. The fact that it moves slower and that matter behaves like a solid thing compared to how life is in the realm of thought or the others, doesn't make it wrong; it's just different, yet still beautiful, divine, unique, and truly loved.

Staying in the material world is to be part of The Forest, which was the original name for this chapter but later changed to what it actually feels like to see all this, lighter than air. The material world is the feminine part of existence; cultivation happens in the matrix of its core, where things stay to a certain point. Yet, divinity has multiple layers and reaches the other side of perfection when it goes beyond the edge of existence itself—where the feminine part of divinity polarizes towards the masculine part, which is now beyond matter, even beyond the thoughts realm. Many of the things that are tagged as spiritual are, in fact, still material, just extremely light and subtle.

So, I ended up talking about it; I guess I can't help it.

I'm writing this primarily for myself anyways, and right now I don't have the time to create another book, or... maybe I could? So these records will have to remain here for now, until I can perhaps make something else from them and make it make sense to the Joy of Doing later.

Someone was kind to me today and made my day. Yet, what I have to offer to the world, starting from what I offer myself, is this type of nourishment. Sometimes being the only one who can digest it makes the experience a little unidirectional. Yet, I write about it as it amplifies the signal a lot, my gain, and I'm sure such seeds will eventually come back to me, transformed and processed by others, who will pursue the divine within, just like me.

I can easily detect my signature in others, no matter the distance, nor the moment. There isn’t such a thing as secrets when you are beyond the material realm. I'm happy to be a little part of others' journeys, as others were part of mine without me even realizing it.

As for me, I can't help but give what streams through me, as it's a nonstop experience—it's infinite and endless.

Art and writing this helps me channel it. Most of my words are like hidden codes to the majority; still, I don't regret it. I would only regret not expressing any of this, which bursts out of my heart like an upward waterfall. I mean, it even hurts while it flows—I can't grasp how I managed to contain it before, which was dozens of times harder.

Seeing all this at some point makes my human experience feel a bit disconnected sometimes. When you experience these types of things, it takes a great deal of effort to take the human experience seriously. Nothing from this world impresses me, nor represents a challenge, compulsion, or desire. I mean, what can the world offer me that surpasses this?

Yet, I need to ground again. I thank my karma for that—sincerity and debts keep me here, for now. I will make sure to polarize all that with caution; I truly need this suit.

To Land

The Joy of Doing is about embracing every moment, whether it's in creating, connecting, or simply being in a type of pain, beautiful but still pain. Finding beauty and divinity in the mundane, in the chaos, and in the silence. These reflections, while deeply personal such as this one, underscore the importance of grounding ourselves, appreciating the present, and recognizing the interconnectedness of all things. In doing so, we find joy not just in the act of doing, but in the act of being.

So you see? It wasn't that bad.
