TRUE INDEPENDENCE

Independence is a word in high fashion these days due to the advertising business which is liberally using it to promote mobile services of all sorts. I believe that this is a misuse of the word, leading people astray and making it even more difficult for them to grasp its true meaning. The proclaimed so-called independence of mobile networks and the electronical/digital equiment that goes with it, is infact a trap designed to make you fall into. By believing in the slogans of the advertisements you are turning your-self into a hostage who accepts bondage to their services out of his own freewill. Most people do not even realize this and joyiously walk into their traps, actually believing them-selves free and independent. Only to sooner or later feel very stressed out and unable to relax for even a short space of time, because the compulsion to always be "on duty" for possible messages, calls, emails is sapping their strentgh unobservedly. However, the modern technological comforts also have their advantages and good usesgiven they are used responsibly and in awareness of their hidden dangers.
One could say that in the modern world of today true independence requires a high degree of personal discipline.
True Independence is an idenpendence of Spirit, which does not bind itself to material things, nor people, places, emotions, thoughts...

The mastership of true loving is to attain the awareness of the first and to henceforth exist in this state even whilst passing through personal experiences of the love that separates.

TRUE SPIRITUALITY

True spirituality is a 24/7 task and not a weekend occupation to be enjoyed at leisure. Contrary to the view the purely materialistically minded individuals take, to be spiritual does not imply one dodges life's responsibilities. In fact, the opposite is the case. To turn one's steps towards the spiritual pathway in life is a sign of inner strength and means that one is finally willing to grow up and accept one's responsibilites. However atuning your-self to the Divine Light and reaching out to the spiritual heights does not have the immediate effect of instilling eternal light-heartedness and blissfulness in your heart and mind (- although the media are doing their best to promote this idea). In order to attain to such a state of Being, fortitude, endurance and faith are required, because along this pathway there are personal shadows to be faced and many a dark wilderness of the soul to be traversed. Especially at the onset of the spiritual path of Light it may appear ...
