Illusion

I am so high, I can hear heaven
I am so high, I can hear heaven
Whoa, but heaven...no, heaven don't hear me

Flashback....I was moved from nursery to the 1st grade. I moved from Dubai to AD. I had lost all my friends. I had barely done my alphabet when I was supposed to be reading some stupid books. All this due to the fact that my dad found it rather stupid that 3 of his kids would be in the same school while the youngest of the brood (moi) will be a distance away. He was basically too lazy to go to 2 places to pick us up. We weren't the bus types until much later. That's my dad!

That wasn't easy. I had a handicap. I just didn't know what people were doing in the class. Heck, I didn't even know which book to take out as I couldn't really read...I struggled but pulled up my socks (thanks to my mom) and managed...

Flashback again.....12th. I had a lot of family issues going on. Mom wasn't keeping well, plenty of other issues too. I know how I got through. I did.

Fast forward to present....MBA Finance - don't understand a shit. History repeats itself. I carry a handicap again. So, let it be.....inshallah....he pulled me out earlier. He will pull me out again...it is time to pull up my socks again.....

What am I waiting for? Miracle? Miracles reside in you. Believe this world is an illusion. There is nothing as 'reality'. The day you break this barrier, there is nothing stopping you. Think Matrix. This world does not exist. Not even you - it's an illusion which can be controlled/changed if you desire to do so. But you have to break the realms of 'reality'. 'Reality' is a barrier that you have created for yourself.

Look deep inside you and realize what you are doing and what you are capable of. An honest judgment of utilization of your capability will help you realize how much much more you can do. If I were to look at myself, I am quite sure I am utilizing myself at say, 3-5% of my mental capacity and that too, in a very haphazard manner. The rest 95%, too, has been given to you by God for use.

But you need to unlock the door first. Find the key. To each his own, I look for mine.

Mental capability is divided into stages. The first 5%-7% is 'unlocked' by default to almost all individuals if not all. And we do not even make use of this. Then the stages begin. I am unaware of how many stages exist but I would possibly put them as below:

below 7%
8-15%
15-30%
30-40%

I am not too sure of the stages beyond this. I do feel that that the 8-15% and 15-30% may be just one stage with one key. So, can you imagine how would it be if you enter the 8-30% bracket? Unbelievable....and that's just the beginning.

Now, the mind, brains etc.....is just fine but where does the heart stand it all of this. The capability to use your 'processing power' does not necessarily mean you know how to use it. This capability does not qualify you as 'wise'. Please understand - 'wise' is not how sharp you are, it's about how you use this capability. We are all prisoners in this world. His judgment on the day of resurrection will decide whether you were 'wise' or otherwise.

If the para above didn't make sense to you, it's ok. What you need to understand is that the heart and mind are controlling mechanisms over each other. If either goes out of synch with the other (and when I say, synch it means that one has lost 'influence' over the other - 'control' would not be an apt word as these two work in tandem and should not control each other) the person does not ever meet his complete potential. The person may do very well in a certain aspect with the strong processing power provided but the overall potential is lost somewhere. This is not about the last day. This is not about the Day of Resurrection. This is pure common sense.

So, as you unlock the secrets of the mind, there is a 'heart' angle to it. This, now, suddenly, brings me to the question of the potential of the heart. Why have we not thought about it. If , today, the mind and heart have a decent influence over each other in us and we are performing at <7% capacity then even the heart has stages of capability? Hadn't thought about that earlier. Interesting....quite interesting....

How do we open the heart? I donno. Not that I have an answer to the 'key' for the mind either......

This world is an illusion....watch as it changes every moment....He is sending a constant wake up call to us all about what we are capable of unlocking within us. Nothing more.

Watch....
