We need to realize that money, power, and knowledge will not help us in learning about the true world.
We need to realize that, instead of helping us learn about the true world, money, power, and knowledge will only lead us in the wrong direction, separating us further from the true world.
In order for us to realize that we are extremely lucky to have come to have a physical body, we need to first realize with our heart how foolish and sad we must have been to have allowed ourselves to fall to hell.
To say that we ourselves allowed us to fall to hell may sound illogical; however, if the preceding statement sounds illogical, that is only because one has not yet come to properly understand it.
Why we choose the path to self-destruction and unhappiness, when in fact we are trying to become happy and find the joy of life, must be a mystery that no one had been able to solve until now.
Some people might say, "How dare you tell me I've chosen the path to self-destruction. Look at me, I've achieved all these things in my life. I can honestly say I am happy. In fact, I am in the midst of enjoying the spring of my life." However, honestly speaking, I believe one cannot enjoy his/her spring of his/her life without knowing his/her true self.
Anyone able to feel the vibrations sent out by people who make the preceding kind of statements should be able to tell that what I am saying is true.
Vibrations sent out by a person is not the words that he/she uses; it is more like the aura being radiated by the person. The vibrations that a person sends out bespeaks the person the best.
We are consciousnesses, energies, and existences invisible to the eye. Therefore, it is only natural that a person's vibrations, rather than his/her words or attitude, bespeak him/her most straightforwardly. However, this is not easily understood by a person who only believes the physical world as being the real world. Such a person would rather be able to judge a person by the words spoken by the person, as well as the person's attitude. Therefore, a person who believes the physical world as being the real world would naturally value others' words and attitudes. Consequently, he/she would feel betrayed and suffer from the feeling of being betrayed.
People can betray others with their words and attitudes. Words and attitudes can be manipulated. As is evident from the fact that there are such expressions as "double-tongued" or "ambiguous," we all choose our words and change our attitudes depending on the situation at hand. However, the same does not apply to the world of vibrations. We cannot betray another person with our vibrations. Vibrations cannot be manipulated. Understanding our surroundings, based on vibrations, is a fun thing to do. By doing so, one will likely realize that what we actually say and do sometimes does not necessarily match what we are actually thinking.
On another note, I believe all of us want to be happy. The intensity with which one hopes to be happy may differ from one person to another; however, I assume we can all agree that we want to be happy. I also assume that we can all agree that we have prayed for happiness at some point. Now, can you agree with me on the following statement: We all wanted to be the best person on the planet so that we could control others, and for that reason, have fought with others to be the best? Please look into your heart carefully and reflect on the thoughts that cross your mind. I assume you also can feel a history of fighting with others over who is better.
Now, where has our history of fighting with others brought us?
I wonder how many people can honestly say that they are happy. Do you know how it feels to be able to say, "I am happy," and to be able to say so not because you have something in particular? Do you know how it feels to be able to say you are happy although you possess nothing special in particular?
I wonder how many people realize with their heart how foolish it was of us to have prayed for happiness and fought with others over who is better.
I believe we still to this day pray for happiness and fight with others over who is better because we have never realized how foolish it was of us to do so.
If one really wants to be happy, I recommend simply quitting praying and fighting. However, as one would come to know if he/she tries, simply quitting praying and fighting is impossible.
The vibrations of praying and fighting will continue to fill one's heart until he/she realizes the following with his/her heart: "I have been radiating the energies of praying and fighting, and by doing so, I have allowed myself to fall into the depths of suffering. I myself allowed myself to fall into the depths of darkness, and as I had done so, I had also foolishly taken others along with me by radiating my dark energy on them."
