🟤 Quote by Osho: Illumination The moment you are illuminated, the whole of existence is illuminated. If you are dark, then the whole of existence is dark. It all depends on you There are a thousand and one fallacies about meditation prevalent all around the world. Meditation is very simple: it is nothing but consciousness. It is not chanting, it is not using a mantra or a rosary. These are hypnotic methods. They can give you a certain kind of rest-nothing is wrong with that rest. If one is just trying to relax, it is perfectly good. Any hypnotic method can be helpful, but if one wants to know the truth, then it is not enough. Meditation simply means transforming your unconsciousness into consciousness. Normally only one-tenth of our mind is conscious, and nine-tenths is unconscious. Just a small part of our mind, a thin layer, has light; otherwise the whole house is in darkness. And the challenge is to grow that small light so much that the whole house is flooded with light, so that not even a nook or corner is left in darkness. Then the whole house is full of light, then life is a miracle, it has the quality of magic. Then it is no longer ordinary- everything becomes extraordinary. The mundane is transformed into the sacred, and the small things of life start having such tremendous significance that one could not have ever imagined it. Ordinary stones look as beautiful as diamonds; the whole of existence becomes illuminated. The moment you are illuminated, the whole of existence is illuminated. If you are dark, then the whole of existence is dark. It all depends on you.

🔘 Surroundings Observation The whole sky is gray. In this, I see groups of small light clouds moving fast. In the grayness of the sky and clouds, I don't see any specific shapes, the wind carrying them away makes them change and more distant, Today is cold and rainy, usually I don't like this weather, but now that I sit and observe it, I see something more in it: I see calm uncertainty, I see change in the stillness. I hear cars passing by, which remember me of the fast paced world, running to chase something that is never found. I see the light drops of water, that fall fast from the sky; they're tiny, almost impossible to see, but if you focus, you can perceive the movement. In this moment of stillness I remember how difficult it is in this world to just stop. But now, I did stop. And I'm grateful for these little moments.

Trump said that when he will become president he will call Putin and the war will stop.. so that problem is off the list😂😂 We still have some time till climate change problema become irreversible. I am optimistic about this topic and I think we will take action. Maybe last minute, but we will. -
Truly a great video. Thank you Osho❤️

🟡 Investment overview In the last few days, the company's stock is going down. I am not feeling great about it, but I know it's part of the process and I don't have to discourage myself.

⚫ Journaling again I'm not feeling great right now; today I didn't do much, after many days of work and study I got extremely exhausted, and I am kind of feeling sick. But I just need to rest. I am keeping up with the meditation practice, and I'm happy I managed to do it also today that was more difficult than the other days. I stopped doing the Gateway Experience, unfortunately. It takes a lot, but I should still do it whenever I can.

⚫ Simple Journaling Lately, I've been feeling better. Honestly, I don't know what my body and mind really need, but I'm trying to be open and not stay home and do the same things. I still feel that life is difficult, and I need to learn how to navigate through all the challenges and feelings I have. I probably already said it in the past, but I was a weed smoker, I used to do it really a lot. in the last 2 or even 3 years, I did it regularly, on a weekly basis, and usually in the months of May, April, and June I would smoke every day. Really disgusting. But I get it, I was hurting, and that was a good way to numb myself and not think. I really like weed, the effect it gives, and the act of smoking, but I hate the fact that I get addicted so easily. I would love to be able to do it once every 2 months, same as psychedelics, just to have a good, profound, and insightful experience. But for my mind weed is a light drug, that yes can be spiritual, but also a great way to stop feeling. That's why I don't smoke anymore. I feel strong. I don't want to do it again. And I am proud of myself because I live in the Netherlands, where you can smell weed literally everywhere, and on top of that my flatmate smokes every day. I am grateful I say no every time I have the opportunity to smoke. It was easy to not smoke from June, because I was in Italy with my family, but once coming back here the real challenge started, and I'm doing good, I think. I say "I think", because a couple of times I drank beers, once I even did ketamine. I haven't drunk beer since December 2021, and in the summer I stopped the sobriety. But it's fine. I am aware of all this, and I decided not to drink either. Alcohol is not the same as weed, because I like it less, that's why it's not gonna be so difficult. Today though, I went to the park with my housemates to draw, and actually before leaving we were considering taking an HHC gummy I've been keeping here for some time; then we said to take mushrooms. After not taking anything, while going to the park we passed by my gf house, and I remembered that I left ketamine in her room, so I thought to go inside and take it. Now, thinking about this makes me feel kinda disgusted, or just sad about these thoughts. Eventually I didn't take any drugs, and I'm proud of that. I came back home and I'm journaling. I also talked about all this with Sara, my girlfriend, and that helped me. With her, I always feel loved, accepted, supported, and she is always here if I need it. She is a great person.

Even if these issues were solved, there would still be a big gap to reach enlightenment. And I don't think trump is the one who will solve these things -
I thought JR was not his supporter, why would he invite Trump

🟣⚫ YouTube & Guitar Practice I'm really happy about the fact that I am starting to practice more and better. I am getting back on track and playing good; I'm trying to be relaxed and focused. I'm also happy and grateful for the YouTube results. I got 59 subscribers in 26 days, I think that's a good outcome!
