BELIEF JUST HAPPENED----All introspection is a form of retrospection

Human needed to think and question life from within; and look for answers, not elsewhere, but within ourselves. As humans, we were always told what to do and what not to do but  we need not be instructed with steps of life, but merely awakened. The idea was to start anywhere and eventually reach the same place (within you, through life). Life itself is God, and every action manifested itself with God.Life itself is a movement of relationships, and we try to manipulate and control it even in the most common events of life. For example, when someone praises us, we grow in pride, when someone insults us we have rage filled in us; and what we do is behave in ways that increase positive reactions and decrease negative comments; the point being that we are only living a half automated life, and doing something habitually, total awareness, and continuous awareness, will lead to living a non-habitual life, and no amount of discipline will do it – and once again, discipline is not freedom from the known Problems that affect our behaviour cannot be resolved without awakening the creative intelligence or the intuition within us. That will, in turn, fully grasp the circumstance and liberate us from our miseries. It is a fact that all self-consciousness is painful and is absent in the states of ecstasy and fullness.
All introspection is a form of retrospection. Freedom is found in the choiceless awareness of our daily existence and activity.  Every human with a mind to think will have an interpretation of the same. To be aware might not necessarily mean to give up on life and look for the internal truth, but to be able to live peacefully with an understanding of the life one leads, the relations one shares with one's environment, and one's family and friends.
 Live your life the right way; do what you have to and be a good human being; and maybe that will lead to the final freedom.
