Mindfulness, meditation exploited and exhausted. What’s next? The path of devotion.
Western mindfulness has destroyed and corrupted the path of no-mind through right meditation. The secret of meditation is the art of unlearning the programming of our minds and being able to drop the Ego. In this age of technology and information, just sitting back and doing nothing gets even tougher. Is the path of love and devotion the most appropriate for current generations?
Mindfulness has become the capitalization and industrialization of meditation. As in Yoga and other alchemy arts of the soul, the form has been maintained but the essence has been completely lost. Meditating is an act of being, the only intention allowed is to be in silence.
Observe the streams of thought in order at some point to wake up and realize that the mind is not you. It is a phenomenon connected to you but it is not your essence. When you enter a state of witnessing the flows of the mind, you will see the contradictions of the mind. If instead of giving your energy to the thoughts you observe them in a detached way, these thoughts will gradually lose shape and power. It is from that moment that the opportunity opens to connect with your spirit, higher self, inner shaman, soul, or whatever you want to call it.
To transcend the mind is to live in the present moment, in unconditional love, and in the totality of being.
The mind is the only one that works in the past and the future, that is, in time. The present, the only reality, is the ever-changing flow in which the being within you experiences life. All the problems and miseries you have are caused by the mind. If you let go and transcend it, you will begin to have an authentic life, full of love and happiness.
Mindfulness has simply become an activity to decorate the Ego. A mirage to delude yourself of wanting to be very spiritual when in reality you keep dreaming and believing that you are meditating while you continue sleeping.
The very definition of mindfulness indicates its incorrect interpretation of correct meditation.
Mindfulness only helps to keep the slaves of the system in a certain mental balance so that they continue to produce without causing problems.
Why did Buddha choose meditation instead of devotion?
Gautama Buddha lived in a period when the path of devotion and prayer through the heart had been exploited too much by the organizations and institutions of the systems. He was deprived of knowing that one day he would grow old. When the day came that Gautama came across an old man, that shock was like a great revelation. That made him deny and let go of everything he knew and knew in order to venture out on a quest to make sense of his life. That included the Hindu religion based on love, devotion, compassion, and prayer.
All paths to enlightenment fall into two categories: those that transcend the mind through meditation (no mind ) or those that transcend the mind through the heart (love and prayer).
Christianity has greatly corrupted the way of love. However, there is a large part of humanity that, although it does not believe in the hypothesis of God, does believe in universal love, in existence, in mother earth, in nature.
That is why after the prostitution of meditation by mindfulness, a new window opens to return to the path of the heart as primal and natural as possible. The path of devotion to mother nature.
Gautama Buddha foresaw that in his time a new path to self-realization had to be taken. Now is the same with meditation. Must be switched to the heart.
What is the path of devotion about?
The path of devotion pursues the same as that of meditation, transcending the Ego and connecting in totality. The difference is that on the path of meditation the mind must calm down and stop through observation to reach the silence and thus connect with existence through your being. n the case of the path of devotion, instead of stopping the mind through meditation, it is through total and absolute love existence. In this case, instead of avoiding using the imagination as in meditation, the fantasy of the mind is used completely in love for the whole.
It is the realization that everything is part of the same, by observing nature it is possible to reach this conclusion because it is harmonious, patient, loving, silent, alive. By feeling so much love and gratitude for life that you no longer start and end in your skin. You are part of the whole and therefore all life acquires an incalculable and irreplaceable value...
This path is the oldest and most primary. Our ancestors have revered nature since time immemorial. The path of love and devotion for Mother Earth, Existence, Nature was used by Shamans, druids, animists, tribal healers….
Civilization has reached a point of dehumanization that must be reversed. Technology and our superficial, frantic and abusive lifestyle have disconnected us from nature in ourselves and in the world. The concept of family conditioned by Christianity and the laws have further divided people. Well, we are all one big family, we are all the sons and daughters of Gaia, of existence. We must transcend the discriminations of the mind and unite again. Love is the bridge, the connection with existence is destiny.
Now that our mother earth is in more danger than ever, where there is more isolation than ever, the path of the heart must be resurrected and renewed at this time. A Neo Shamanic path without dogmas the wisdom of nature contains all the truth.
God's hypothesis is dead.
Existence is the real object of devotion.
The God or gods of religions are simply a false representation of existence. They have been monopolized and used to exploit humanity. The Christian church itself already took care of exterminating all paganism which was based on natural wisdom, which used sacred medicines.
The word God evokes Christianity, institutions and corruption. However, the word, existence cannot be monopolized, since there is only one. It cannot be defined or shaped as it is completely mysterious. We have it in front of our eyes because nature is the living representation of it.
It does not need to be imagined, there can be no intermediaries because anyone can access it. This existence resides in all things, for in all of it there is a spirit. The only difference is the quantity of consciousness since the quality is the same in all of them.
All the great scientific geniuses came to the realization that life is not logical and cannot be defined. Everything is relative, everything is consciousness. The age of the logic of the mind must end to return to our natural origins. We have too many objects and so little love. The life of many people is meaningless because there is no true love and freedom in it. The path of devotion, of the heart, is more necessary than ever and the object to worship we have always had in front of our senses.
In the same way that humanity is in danger, so is our planet, our world, our reality, our beloved home.
The differences between the path of meditation and devotion.
1 Meditation does not use imagination or fantasy. Devotion is based on it.
When you witness the mind it stops, it is impossible to focus the thoughts on an object and therefore be devoted to something.
2. Meditation transcends emotions, the path of devotion is pure emotion and passion.
The emotions of the heart are not important for meditation, indeed, they are transcended. On the path of devotion, passion, emotions are essential to bringing them into existence.
3. In meditation, there is no god. In devotion, he is the main object
Meditation does not need anything other than yourself. In devotion, the attention is completely and totally diverted to the deity and what she represents.
4. In meditation, "the other" does not matter. In devotion "the other" is everything.
Meditation will take you to silence, to nothingness. In devotion, giving yourself totally to existence will make you nothing, without Ego, you are one with existence.
5. In meditation you connect with existence through no-mind silence. In devotion in the total surrender of your thoughts by delivering totally to the deity.
If you hate each other if there are judgments about how to be or stop being. If you have to tolerate each other, you are not in love.
6. In meditation contemplation of the outside world is irrelevant, in devotion it is the essence.
Meditation watches the mind to transcend it. Devotion contemplates the outside world to fall completely in love with it.
7. Meditation does not use sacred medicines. In devotion, sacred medicines are essential.
Meditation only needs a space to practice. However, its development can take decades. Devotion uses the correct and natural tools available to it.
Seeking to master yourself?
Transcending duality on the path of devotion.
The passion that the heart feels is the bridge to connect with life and thus makes your body shudder when you feel it. Feeling and loving life are the fundamental basis of this path.
If When you give yourself fully into existence. When all your thoughts and actions are a total act of devotion and reverence to her. When you care more about "the other" than yourself. When you feel that you are part of the whole and it is part of you, it means that you are walking the path of the heart, of devotion and love.
In that moment of total surrender, the mind disappears and merges into the act of unconditional love. That is the secret of the path of devotion, educating your mind to surrender totally and completely to love.
Compassion is the transcending of the false love of the mind. You are compassionate to the whole for what you do to it you do to yourself. You have a spiritual empathy with all existing life, therefore, you love and respect everything without exceptions.
Devotion and prayer to existence does not understand social relations, nor all the false constructs that live in civilization. Nature is raw, loving, and also wild. It does not understand ideologies or doctrines, the natural order and its harmony is what matters.
Nature does not know about good or bad, everything is fine if it is natural and authentic. The Sun and the night, the light and the darkness are simple forms and states of the same thing.
That is why the path of the heart transcends the duality of indoctrination in a very simple and natural way, with hardly any knowledge. With the simple observation and silent contemplation of nature, it is enough to extract its wisdom.
Final words:
In today's modern western society, the passion of the heart is being negatively exploited, which is enslaved by the whims and selfish desires of the mind. It has always been this way, from the Roman Empire to the Viking, to the Arab and others. The passion has been negatively and selfishly focused on wars, power, and corruption. Exactly the same has happened with meditation, the essence has been transgressed, and apparently, the form has been maintained. For without the same essential intention of meditation or devotion, any form is wrong.
There are only two ways to enlightenment: Transcend your humanity through meditation or fully embrace your humanity by surrendering your mind to the heart.
Both the path of devotion and the path of no-mind are paths not suitable for cowards, the unknown is what will await you. It is impossible to know what seeds existence has placed in you and how you will feel the flow of life. Well, in the end, enlightenment is about feeling life, being totally spontaneous and not robotic. Use the mind as a tool, as if it were a limb but not be used by it.
Flowing with life means flowing with love. With meditation, you will be a super man who has transcended emotions and lives a stark reality.
With the path of devotion, you will melt in love and you will give yourself totally, being a servant of existence, leaving aside your selfish interests. Obviously, the first to be loved is your higher self, your spirit, your inner shaman, don't forget it. For a pure heart and connected with existence, all are his sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers ...
