Your essential nature

"No sacrifice, no service, no service, no satisfaction, no satisfaction, no happiness" (Guy Finley)

The essence of a flower is its perfume or fragrance, which differs from one flower to another. And, like a flower, human being also has an essence or essential nature,  inherent to who he is, at the core of his being. This essence is the Spirit of God in him.

But, contrary to human being, the flower does not have an ego and, for this reason, does not produce perfume for itself. Instead, all it does, is delivering unconditionally its fragrance for the appreciation of other creatures, including human beings.

That is, the flower is not so selfish to keep its fragrance just for its own use. Its joy lies in giving it away, all day long, to whomever is willing to appreciate its beautiful perfume. That is its job, and the reason for which it has been created.

Human beings had also been created for the same reason, which is to share unconditionally their essential nature, for the benefit of others. This essential nature is made up of qualities such as kindness, love, understanding, patience, peace, help, support, happiness, of his soul, joy, time, appreciation, gratitude, forgiveness.

But unfortunately, many people have been deviated from this destiny by their ego and put themselves and their interests at the center of their life; anybody else being considered as secondary. As a result, unhappiness has become their daily companion.

You have been created to serve and give unconditionally what you truly are to others. It is in this condition alone that you can experience it yourself, not another way around. The flower, however does not have such an opportunity; all it does if giving freely.

The most important in life

In life, what is for you the most important?

1. God: All That Is; Omnipresent, Omniscient, Omnipotent; Love; Joy; Abundance; Life, etc. God Is the only reality there is, has ever been, and will ever be. He is the stream of life you must go with. He Is the tree and you are the branches. So, like branches and the tree, your separation from God, is your death. The first death being psychological as you feel insecure, lost, unhappy, poor, not loved, powerless and so on, due to your feeling of separation with God, Who only Is, and nothing else.
2. Who we really are: We don't know it, but who we are is an absolute and perfect reflection of God. Nothing can be more important that being it and having this knowledge. And, from our part, only one thing should and must be done: manifesting gratitude to our creator moment to moment, for being who we are;
3. Knowledge: Knowing that God loves you, unconditionally and forever, gives you an immense joy. Because you understand that whatever occurs, comes from love, and can be only for your highest good. Also, you understand that the only reaction worthy of coming from you in return, is one of gratitude, and love. But, never a reaction of resistance to what is, which is a denial of God's infinite wisdom.
4. Life itself: it is simply the fact to be here now, able to appreciate the beauties and blessings available all around us with the magnificent five physical senses the Almighty has provided us with. Although very close to us, these are no longer paid attention to by many, lost are they are in their mind, in search of  what themselves consider to be more valuable than the paradise they live in;
5.  Good health : This is the most important thing ever, on the physical plane, and the necessary condition to perform if you are to enjoy life. Anything else is accessory.
6. Joy & Happiness: Whatever people are doing, they do it because they think it will make them happy. But the thing is, nothing outside will ever make you happy. Happiness is inside of you; it is at the core of your being, your true nature, and who you really are. But, keep looking for it outside and be sure you will never find it. Happiness is inherent to you, like the perfume of a beautiful flower, and  the flower cannot smell its own perfume. Its happiness lies in generously and unconditionally share it with other creatures all around. But, contrary to the flower, human being is capable of feeling his own happiness. The condition, however, is to share, like the flower, his happiness with others, in order to feel it inside of himself. Give freely and unconditionally your true nature and your qualities (joy, happiness, kindness, patience, peace, abundance, beauty...) if you want to experience them. That is the secret. 
7. Enjoy the trip: Don't be attached to the destination. There so many beautiful things to enjoy and appreciate alon the way. Go for them my friend, and enjoy! 
8. Others:  Someone said: "life is not about you, it is about life itself, or others" And: " there is only one person in the room. It is you, meaning, others". Another one said: "no sacrifice, no service; no service, no satisfaction; no satisfaction, no happiness". These affirmations are quite true.  And Jesus said: "As you'd like to be done onto you, do onto others".

What do you really want?

All of us, we desire so many things, for ourselves and people we care about. But, few among us know exactly what they really want in life. They may say they want a specific thing, when in fact it is something else that they want.

Usuasually, when people say I want this, or I want that, it is alway about what they want to get and keep for themselves. Here, I am not talking about what you want to take from life. This is unfortunately what the majority of people think about the most. I am talking here about what you want to give to life, or the universe, or God.

Why?

Just because it is your reason for being here. You are not on this planet to take and gather all the stuff you desire. You are here to give unconditionally to all, the fruits you produce, spiritually or physically, in order to contribute to the development of humankind. That's why you are here.

But If we don't know what we really want to give to others, if we haven't identified it clearly in our mind, how can we expect to give it? Is it possible to give something you don't know you have, or do not recognize as your contribution to the world?

The fact is, if you don't know what you want, you can have it, but not recognize it. It will be there, just in front of you, but you will not be able to see it, just because you don't know that it is what you want.

Now, what do you really want?

As I said earlier, what you want should not be defined as what you want to get, but rather as what you want to give. Why? Because giving comes first and receiving later. That is the order of things. It is by giving that you get in return; not the reverse.

In addition, some people may think that they want money, when in fact what they want is the sense of security and power money provides. Others think they want a new relationship, when in fact what they want filling the deep emptiness they feel inside of them, etc.

You see, sometimes money or relationships are not always what you really want, but may be something else. What you have to do first is clearly identify in your mind what are your personal strengths and abilities. All people have theirs, and these can be easily recognized by themselves or others. When you do, you have recognized what you can give to others also.

How could you know you have reached your destination if you didn't determined it specifically in the first place? And even when you get there, chances are that you will not recognized it as your destination.

Once you have identified your strengths and abilities, you know what to give to others, and what you'll get in return depends on the quality of what you gave. But if you want to feel safe and powerfull, what can you give and to whom?

Knowing that all security and power belong to God, you have to give Him something if you want to feel safe and powerfull. What you have to give Him is your total recognition that security and power belong to Him. You must GIVE Him your full ACKNOWLEDGEMENt that all power is in Him and Him alone, so that it returns back to you.

Know that God is like the tide, going high and low incessantly, and everything you throw into the waves comes back to you. You see, whatever you want in you, give it to God, by recognizing and aknowledging it in Him. It will come back to you multiplied.

Remember, you are a spirit, and not just a physical body, and a spirit only needs the spiritual. The paradox here is that it is only when you have given the spiritual that the material can follow; but never before.

Give and you will receive

They say, ask and you will receive. I say, give and you will receive. What do you prefer? For me, I believe that both giving and receiving are one, and there would not be one, without the other. But, the truth is that one precedes another.

Which is thus the one that precedes the other? It sounds like the story of the egg and the hen, isn't it? So, let's assume that as sons of God, we are and have already everything, and nothing is missing to us, right? That means, love, joy, happiness, abundance, wealth, and health, to list just a few, are our inheritance.

If this is so, and I firmly believe that it is, it implies that having already everything, giving then must come first to precede receiving which comes later. But generally, because they don't have the awareness of what their true reality, people have the tendancy to ask, in order to receive what they already have, not realizing that all they seek for is already in them.

When they keep asking, they reinforce in themselves the belief that they don't have what they are asking for. And doing so, they never get it. Because they look for it where it is not for having been confused with their fonction given them by God and which is to give and share with their brothers all the abundance that is in them.

You are a natural giver because of what you are. And, if you want to have some indicators of the things you don't give enough, look at those that are not enough present or are missing in your life.

Do you have enough love, respect, money, abundance, help, attention, kindness, promotion, happiness, joy, health and so on in your life? If not, that's the proof that you are a poor giver of the same. If yes, keep giving more and more so that you experience more also.

Remember, your function here is to give out and share unconditionally with the world the blessings given you by your father. Asking for them is a sign of poverty, which has nothing to do with you.

Don' worry about receiving, this is not your part and does not depends on you. What depends on you is what you are responsible of, or choose to give, through your will. That is the only thing that matters. Receiving, then, takes care of itself.

Be like de sun if you want to be happy

Most people believe that happiness is something to get outside of themselves. Something gained from or achieving a specific goal valuable to them. Such as getting a good job or a promotion, living romantic relationship, receiving lot of money, buying a new car or a big home, passing an important exam or receiving a degree, etc.

But, the truth is that happiness is not something you get from doing or achieving anything. Happiness is inherent to you, it's your nature, It's what you really are. The good feeling that emerges from you due to a particular event was already there in you, but not activated. It's only when a specific event is pleasant to you that this feeling is activated, which does not mean it comes from outside. Some time later, it is disactivated again.

The question is, if happiness is your natural state, why aren't you permanently happy?

Here are a few answers. First, you are unhappy because you do not focus enough on things that please you. People usually spend most of their time on things that generate in them feelings of worry, fear, anxiety, dispear and so on, instead of on those that make them feel good or make them happy.

They don't know how to use their existing environment as a pretext to activate the feeling of happiness in them, even for a moment. Instead, they let their attention wander everywhere and be focused on things they don't like, which generate only negative emotions and finaly make them feel bad. Thus, by not having the capacity to choose and focus only on what please them, they behave like victims of circumstances, instead of the conscious creators of their own life.

Second, you are unhappy because you are looking for happiness where it is not and can not be found. As stated earlier, happiness is not obtained in exchange of acquisitions, or achieved as a result of living specific circumstances or events. Happiness Is, already, in you, however dormant. What is required is merely your awareness of it, so that in time, little by little, it manifests in your life.

But, in order to be truly happy once you become aware of it as inherent to you, give happiness all over the places. Give it to every person you meet and love them all. Most of the time, people wait for something to happen in order to be happy. But, this is a big mistake. Happiness is not a reward. Don't wait for the change you desire in your environment to occur, so that you may be happy.

Doing so means that your happiness is external to you; which is not the case. Happiness implies proactivity. That means, being conscious of your natural happiness, you take it first with you wherever you go, and give it freely to the world, without expectations. Because as you give, so shall you receive. It is law. Expectations are one of our main obstacles to happiness, as they block the flow of positive energy flowing through us.

Look at the sun. Do you think that all over the world you see, there is something more happier than the sun? Day by day, it sends consistently its big smile and its light to all of us, unconditionally and without discrimination. That is true love.

Be like the sun, if you want to be happy. Become an unconditional giver, not a frenetic receiver. Give only the best that is in you, always, and you'll experience it in return in your life. There is no other way to happiness.

For a certain level of consciousness, certain experiences

Every living creature in this universe is intended to grow and evolve. Creatures of vegetable and animal kingdoms do it well, naturally and easily. Think of a tree, for example. Starting from a small seed , growing consistently moment to moment is its main task, until it becomes mature and produce fruits which later, will nourish other creatures.

Another good example is the butterfly. Its small egg develops to give birth to a caterpillar which, later also, will be transformed into a beautiful and colored butterfly. In these two examples, the process is operated with the great wisdom of the Infinite Intelligence that created worlds, without any slightest resistance.

The seed, in essence, "knows"what its final goal is: to be mature and produce fruits. Same thing for the egg, whose final goal is to achieve its full potential in the form of a butterfly, and become free, before spending time all day long, flying leisurely and joyously from one plant to another.

In their process of evolution, these two creatures do not worry, even for a moment, about how and when they will attain their mature state or respective goals. Never. They just keep growing and evolving in total abandonment to the infinite wisdom of the universe. They do not either get anxious or feared about the future, but instead, trust unconditionally the universe and its laws for everything.

That is the big difference between human beings and other creatures. Human beings live in doubts, worries, anxieties, frustrations and fears, while other creatures evolve in total confidence and unquestionned faith in the Infinite Intelligence that created them.

This attitude from human beings is pure nonsense. How hell can simple creatures like them have doubts about their creator? How could this be? Maybe human beings don't recognize God as their creator, and assume they created themselves as they are. Or, because they cannot perceive God directly, ideas about His infinite wisdom and powers seem too imaginary and, therefore, not credible.

This attitude is nothing else than a denial of God, their own source. They seem to have no other choice, but only count on their own forces. However, in times of difficulty, they get lost and feel desperate.

Why that? Why separate ourselves from our source by denying it, to be exposed to unnecessary sufferings in our life ?

The truth is, very often this attitude is not intentional. Something, call it ego or whatever name you give it, is standing between us and our creator. This thing prevents us from living in complete trust and confidence with our divine nature. It's the source of all our troubles and sufferings, and we can be free only by removing this impostor once and for all from our life.

Now, learning from example being one of the best known methods for acquiring knowledge, what lessons do we get from the seed and the egg?

Lesson1: As already discussed, the first lesson to learn is total, unconditional trust and faith in God, the Infinite Intelligence that knows and can everything. Because perceiving the all picture about your life, He knows exactly what is good for you or not, despite all appearances.

Your frustration and resentment for not getting something else, added to your strong will and persistance to obtain it, are only reactions from your limited ego. You cannot pretend, with such attitude, to trust God. On the contrary, it is a sign of pride on your part, meaning you know better than God about what is good for you.

Lesson2: It is patience and endurance ! My friend, do you know how to have everything you want? Do you know the secret for having all that you heart is longing for? Be patient. That's the secret.

If you look at your life now, you'll notice that many of the things you had desired in the past are already present in your life. Sometimes for years. You don't even remember having badly been craving for them. Today, they seem to have less importance. Because now, you are wanting something else that, one day, will also be yours, until it loses its value.

In life, many "obstacles" or "tests" may come your way, do not resist them. They are of great service to you, even when this seems difficult to accept at first. Don't complain and try to escape or run away from them.

Sometimes, problems persist because in your mind, you are not clear. It is as if your mind was troubled like troubled water. In this case, instead of resisting, just be still and wait. You will get clear, and in this clarity lies the truth.

The main intention of seemingly problems is to make you stronger than you now are. Therefore, be still and face them courageously. Let go of your ego completely and surrender to the Infininite Intelligence of All That Is to handle the situation, whatever it is. God's power wants to be expressed through you. Be open and release it.

Be no One ! The seed, for example, "knows" how to do it. When there is lack of water during the dry season, and not even a single drop of water can be found, can you imagine the seed complaining and crying all day long in front of its adversity? Never. The seed remains still and confident. It experiences calmly the permanent alternation of life's phenomenons, the "yin" and the "yang".

Lesson3: It is total abandonment to the infinite wisdom of the Infinite Intelligence. While faith and trust imply total confidence in God in achieving our goals, abandonment enables to completely let go and let God. In this state, you are carefree about details and outcomes. You know what you want, but don't care about whether or not you will get it. The result for you is the same. Because God's choice is already yours, and you accept it thanfully and joyfully.

Human beings are too attached to outcomes. Always wanting to achieve final results almost overnight, by transcending the natural laws of growhth and evolution. And when some delays are experienced in manifesting their desires, they get frustrated and mad.

Again, can you imagine the seed behaving this way for not producing fruits instantaneously? Or the egg, for not flying overnight? Only human beings do that! They cannot understand and accept that until they grow and evolve up to a certain level of consciousness, they are not yet ready for certain experiences. This would defy the natural laws of the universe.

Lesson4: It is about consciously living and accepting fully the present moment, without expectations. The seed or the egg do not care about whether they will achieve their respective goal or not.

Will the egg grow and be tranformed into a caterpillar that will one day become a beautiful butterfly? Noboby know. Maybe it will be eaten by another insect or animal. Will the seed grow and evolve to a big tree providing fruits to people and animals? Nobody knows. But the seed doesn't care about what will happen to its life the next moment.

The only thing that matters for both the egg and the seed is where their focus is NOW, and, moment to moment, evolve towards their goal. The question you, as human being, must ask yourself over and over and moment to moment, is this :

"Is what I am thinking, feeling and doing in this moment in harmony with my main goal in life, which is to grow and evolve to high levels of consciousness"? If the answer is no, correct the the course of your thoughts, feelings and actions immediatly, and align them with your life purpose. To be successful, do this inquiry many times a day.

Lesson5: It relates to the consciousness of perfection behind every step of our process of evolution. When growing or evolving to higher levels of consciousness, no step in the journey is more important than another. All are interdependent and perfect in their stage and at their time. Without the egg, no caterpillar; and no caterpillar, no butterfly. The same truth applies to the seed and the tree.

That means, every step in life is whole in its nature and perfect as it is. Applying to human beings, this truth can bring great relief to the resistance they have in their day-to-day life. In fact, they rarely accept fully their current point in life. Always, wanting to be somewhere "else" or have something "better". They never agree with their now, specially when some of its aspects are not as they would prefer.

For example, if they want a better car, a better home or a better job, they see the one they have as imperfect. If they are on the dole or single, they see their condition as imperfect. They judge it negatively. But you know what? This attitude is what maintains things as such, without any improvement.

Human beings have decided in advance that what they desire is "better" than what they have now. Therefore, they live with too much expectations for future changes in their life. Forgetting that where they are now is a necessary step to get where they want to be, and even when they get there, they will still be moving forwards, but always in their wholeness.

Have in mind that only perfection is, has always been and will ever be, despite all appearances. Our true nature, and the nature of everything, is perfect. For this reason, when God looks at you, the only thing He sees like in a mirror, is: perfection. That's all. If the reflected image was different, God would not be perfect. Because what we perceive is only the reflection of what we are. As God is perfect, He can only see perfection.

Refuse to be attached to outcomes or live with expectations for the future. That will release you from useless resistance and sufferings. Know that your life is already perfect the way it is, now. Nothing is missing to you in this very moment. Nothing is missing to an egg, nor to a caterpillar. Even the butterfly is still evolving by giving birth to new eggs.

Only your ego always tries to convince you of the contrary. Unfortunately, you let it win most of the time. But, if you had already a certain level of consciousness, this truth would be more clear to you. You are already perfect exactly where you are.

Another truth to remember is that this process has no end. As someone said: "you will never get it done". You will never reach a point where you will be said: "stop". Your life is an infinite journey in which every single step is whole and complete in itself.

Lesson6: It is about your ultimate goal in life, and also the ultimate goal of every creature and everything in existence : unconditional service. Whatever the conscious level you may achieve, it is intended to help and serve others.

But, the main point here is that, this service must be unconditional. Look at the nature, and you will agree that everything serves unconditionally. The fruit tree, the sun, the rain, etc. All of them serve the universe without reserve or condition.

Some people, even at an advanced stage of their life, always consider themselves as small seed. They always want to be served by others and keep willing to take, over and over, not realizing that time has already come for them to give in return.

They even don't wonder why, despite all their attempts to get more, they can no longer receive as they wish. The thing is, when a container is already full of water, it cannot take more of it. Make rooms in yourself by giving out something good to others, whatever it is. Then, they will be filled by good things also.

Stop for a moment and analyse yourself. Do you think you are already mature? If your answer is yes, then start giving more, instead of asking. There are so many things you can give, I assure you. Money and stuff aren't the only things to give.

What about your good will, your love, your kindness, your work, your smile, your help or support, your encouragement, your compliment, your time, your devotion, your advice, etc. Anybody can give something, no matter what.

To go even farther, know that the only thing we do in life in: giving!

Yes. It's the only thing we do, moment to moment all day long. But, we do it unconsciously. Our thoughts, feelings, emotions and deeds are sent out constanly in the form of energy and vibrations, which bring back to us corresponding experiences. Therefore, why not chosing by ourselves what we decide to send out?

Unconditional living is one of the keys to happiness. This way, you live without expectations from anybody or anything. You become totally whole in yourself and totally free. Your life does no longer depend on external events and circumatances.

With an unconditional life, you decide to live the way you wish. That is, you are happy for nothing, you are abundant for nothing, you give for nothing, you are kind for nothing, you love for nothing, etc. In a word, you live for nothing. No expections in return!

All these lessons, in fact, apply to every creature, and only human beings are not able to live in total obedience to their creator, due to the interferences of their egos. These interferences are what jams and retards the normal process of their evolution.

Ego creates doubts, worries, anxieties, frustrations and fears in human beings. For this reason, they must always pay attention to what is happening in their mind, moment to moment, so that when noticed, these negativities are automatically rejected and thrown away.
