What is life about?

Life is balance.

Life is connectivity with oneself.

Life is energy.

And its purpose is love.

Its drive is love.

When you are connected to yourself,

When you are balanced,

Everything that comments and triggers you,

You can notice.

When you live in state of continuous,

Stimulus,

Continuous emotions,

There is no way you can recognize what's triggering you.

What means what?

When an emotion replaces other,

And on top of that emotion that is replacing it comes another emotion.

What is what?

What is that actually teaching you something here?

You got no chance to understand.

But when you stop,

When you realize you can come into balance by your own,

By your own inner world,

Your own soul,

It's not the mind doing it.

Just need to slow it down and you will be able to come to it with practice,

With knowledge and guidance.

It's there and it's always been there.

You've never learned how to use it.

Somebody teach us.

Somebody taught us that we are here to feed our egos and just feel joyful experiences and live comfortable.

Looks like this is the ultimate goal,

But it isn't.

Just came to happen,

To be better at evolution.

At some point we got lost,

We decided that evolving,

It's the most important thing,

No matter how much it costs.

But it's never too late to realize that this is just the means,

This is a surprise.

And evolution should not replace the main core features and I don't know,

I should call it features,

But the main parts of human nature,

Which is balance and love and compassion.

Not only for others,

But for ourselves as well.

We understand and we allow the base of life,

The rhythm of life to happen and express itself within us.

Pure perception and you have it all within you.

You can feel it.

You are it.

You are not part of it,

But you're it.

It's your own world.

You can reach this balance more than anyone can do because we all are in your picture as external.

How is something external that you reflect within your imagination ever bring you to balance?

Is it logical?

You can do it with your awareness.

I will ask you to not be skeptical about this because this is something that the mind cannot grasp only through experience.

You can realize it and once you realize it,

There is nothing that can take it from you.

You will know.

It's all the practice and experience.

The power you have within you.

It's over any kind of stimulus or experience you can have within this world,

Within this reality that we perceive through our five senses.

I want you to experience,

Even if it's for once,

What is balance without using your mind and justifying that everything is fine.

There is no reasoning involved.

There is nothing meant to be happening for you to be balanced.

You're balanced simply because you are and you are aware that you are.

That's it.

There may be an emotion popping up in your body.

There may be a thought crossing your mind,

But that's external.

That is not you.

Unless you understand this by experiencing,

You always have it within you.

Since I experienced this,

I could always rely on myself,

On my own capabilities as a human being to bring myself to balance again.

The outside world can help,

But it won't do it.

Only you do.

Only you can.

And this awareness will give you so much power because then you know what's happening to you every single time as soon as you're aware.

You understand what's driving you to do this or that.

And you allow life to happen.

You don't block it because you know.

This is how life is experienced through emotions.

And today I want you to take this seat with you.

Even if you felt this endless love,

Balance,

A compassion within you,

I want you to take this seat because sooner or later,

The moment of quietness,

The moment of reflection will come and it will be there to guide you,

To help you.

I just recorded this because it's been a moment of enlightenment for me and I want it to be able to access it if I want to share,

If I want to bring me back to balance when I'm lost.

It's just simply a process.

It's a way of living.

And you got this.

We all did.

We are all in the same journey.

And we're all one.

We are together and I'll be here for you to show you the way when you need me.

Because I know this has been tough to me for a reason and I must share this.

Namaste.
