In the long history, there was a lot of explanation, for all the phenomena that was happening, and for the life itself. We aren't new at that; also, we aren't special, when we believe (so strongly) that we figure everything out. I'm sure people always believed, just as we do, that they figure everything out. The only thing that was constantly changing was the explanation.

]]> Life... http://mystic1800.com/blog/post/life Sun, 13 Jun 2010 22:04:55 +0200 http://mystic1800.com/blog/post/life The thing about life is, that you must fall in love with it, you must start perceive it, as lovers perceive each other -- with tenderness and awareness of every detail, with enthusiasm and expectation of every moment. To spend this time here is great reward; our life offering us so much possibilities, about which we're totally unaware, while being trapped in our everyday thoughs, which seems so important, but in reality are so insignificant.

In life - just like in love - is nothing to win and nothing to find, but just to experience. The greatness of being in love is the simplicity, the melting, of what we're calling reality, but actually what's happening, is just melting of our everyday ideas - which are mostly based on fear, and therefore are mostly negative. There's nothing but love or fear, - so when we fall in love, our ideas emerge from love, and therefore - they're not just positive, but actually limitless and, funny enough, insignificant.

Falling in love with life, means simply that our perception emerge from love, instead from fear. To put it more simply, it means: when we fall in love with life, life fall in love with us.

To have a good life, I think, we must love it - just like, to have a good relationship, we must love the person with which we're in relationship. We must be forgiving, patient, and mostly understanding. The recipe for good life, I think, is the same as for good relationship, but that's not coincidence, since what is life, if not the most important relationships of all - the relationship with ourselves, with God, with universe, ...

]]> Wind of change... http://mystic1800.com/blog/post/wind-of-change Sat, 15 May 2010 10:49:25 +0200 http://mystic1800.com/blog/post/wind-of-change This website has transformed couple of times. Back in 2005 when I registered this domain, I had in mind -mixing- page, -- place where I could present some of my creations (mixes) as I was "DJ" back then.

On some point (2006) I decided I really want to write my own blog, so I start writing simple blog, which was about everyday events and occasionally about design which was - on that point - my relatively new passion. Latter on, I start expressing more personal thoughts, and stories. I start publishing my creations (paintings), and wrote long description "about myself", - so page was as personal as possible.

In the beginning of this year, I translated page to English (which isn't exactly perfect, but good enough I guess). But, now it's time for another change - I want to depersonalize this blog, I want to make it general and pointed only and totally into new age topics. So in next couple of months (if time will allow me this), I'll made changes.

But why?

I have feeling that "me" -- things about me are noise, in the way of message I'm trying to communicate. Selecting one (very) particular topic, will make this blog more directed and clean, easier to understand and open to wider public.

So stay tuned - and check this site from time to time. New design is on the way too - but it will take some time.

]]> Welcome to Metus http://mystic1800.com/blog/post/welcome-to-metus Sat, 17 Apr 2010 22:56:47 +0200 http://mystic1800.com/blog/post/welcome-to-metus You better start running, find a place to hide, since things are different here. You can't fight back. You'll be lost, you'll be falling down, into infinite caverns. The air is polluted - almost impossible to breath. Men without faces will follow you, they'll get you - they'll eat your brains like zombies; women with hearts riped out - emptiness in their eyes - they'll try to get you, to get your heart. You better run. Your ancestries will follow you, whispering about the weaknesses, about diseases, about the death. And death - she'll follow you too, and she'll get you, and you'll suffer. The armies of other creatures, vampires and beasts will be crawling to you, will drink your blood and feast on your body, while you'll be tied up with chains. Dark water will swallow you, and you won't be able to swim, you'll be drowning, and downing will last forever. There's no fighting back.

]]> I once bought four yogurts... http://mystic1800.com/blog/post/i-once-bought-four-yogurts Thu, 11 Mar 2010 01:29:52 +0100 http://mystic1800.com/blog/post/i-once-bought-four-yogurts I once bought four yogurts - they seemed really delicious, I could have eaten them all at once. But don't know why, I decided I'll not eat them, I decided to save them instead. On some point they expired, so I couldn't do anything else, but throw them away.

]]> Know yourself http://mystic1800.com/blog/post/know-yourself Mon, 22 Feb 2010 15:51:26 +0100 http://mystic1800.com/blog/post/know-yourself We are, what we think we are, that's what the Buddha said - and no matter how you understand this statement, it's true - and you can take it literally. Now, here's the first problem: instead of trusting ourselves, and believing in ourselves - we believe what other tell us. You'll maybe say now, that a person is defined by his/her environment, therefore - there's no choice. That's not true of course; even though we're define by our environment - there's a choice, actually, a path on which we can step; the path of self-exploration, - self-realization. So, the exploration of our inner world. The realization who we are, and what's our purpose. And this realization shouldn't be just something shallow - but should be deep - philosophical and spiritual experience.
    When realize who you are, you won't need grasp on the words anymore - and hope people will say something good about you, so that you could feel a bit better, and you won't have to hope, that people won't say something bad, which could made you sad.
    This is the point on which you know who you are - they have right to their opinion - but you know, so you don't have to (and you don't) react emotional.

]]> Be Grateful http://mystic1800.com/blog/post/be-grateful Sat, 20 Feb 2010 21:00:26 +0100 http://mystic1800.com/blog/post/be-grateful There are so many things, for which we all can be grateful, if for nothing else, we can start, with the realization, that we're - by some miracle - alive, and conscious. Where is life and consciousness, there is always potential, of happiness (and even enlightenment), so we can be grateful, even if only for that potential.

In dark times of my life, I was grateful for light days and short periods of happiness; when things were much better, I slowly forgot to be grateful. Instead of that, I became greedy.

]]> To Be Alive http://mystic1800.com/blog/post/to-be-alive Sat, 13 Feb 2010 00:12:07 +0100 http://mystic1800.com/blog/post/to-be-alive The realization of reality would lead into liberation. People have no idea how far from reality they are. We have no idea, what a big illusion is this, what we perceive as "reality".
    I won't say I'm some kind of exception, some kind of superman, who is liberated, free, illuminated, enlightened in state of nirvana, - no, I'm not. I'm not even close.

It was truly healing for my soul in dark times, and I guess I don't have to explain why. Just read something he wrote,...

I'm posting one of his poems...

]]> The Relationship http://mystic1800.com/blog/post/the-relationship Fri, 08 Jan 2010 23:24:32 +0100 http://mystic1800.com/blog/post/the-relationship What I understand under word "relationship"* is simply willingness to share life with another person, it's just like friendship with little differences.
   * I'm talking about intimate relationships through whole post; so when I write -relationship- please have in mind, that I have in mind about this particular type of relationships.

First of first, I believe love should be part of relationship, however, love is much wider than relationship itself. I actually see quite a lot of selfishness and limitations (+hate,jealousy,etc..) in many relationships, while I consider love to be wide, open and pure (as I wrote about it).

We could imagine relationship as soup, and love is water. So it's (main) ingredient, but it's quite modified, and mixed with other things.
