I've also learned that by letting go of all the mental value we've given "things" as if things equalled true success; which to me is being dettached and balanced, that way if won't matter whether you have or not material possesions, if will not affect you internally. The big house, the convenient cars, and the bank account which secures our future, in other terms also known as "The American Dream". That's no dream to me, it is only a system man has created period. The choice is yours to live that way as if GOD himself intended for us to spend our lives working hard for it. Suffering to achieve succes is what we've been lead to believe our purpose should be. Even world religions are about that, they've portrated Jesus suffering his whole life for us, so we have this guilt embeaded in our minds that if he suffered to that extent,ours didn't even compare and it's OK to spend life that way, and we relate life with suffering. So wrong. The day I stopped living that way, the way of the world and started to take it easier in life, I automatically felt relief, internal peace, I slowly removed the connection I myself gave things in the first place, because as the rest I also thought happiness came with material abundance, but only stress did, trying to keep up with more and more. Now I want to go back to the super humble life I had before coming to the US in pursuit of the American Dream. My energy and focus have rerouted torwards feeling that serenity of less stuff to worry about, and I'm loving it so much, I'm learning after years of EGO driven living; which only brought anger and suffering to not let anything outside of me affect me internally. Today on the way to work something incredible happened as if I created the situation for myself as a self test. Going at about 65-70 mph with the flow of traffic on the highway I was thinking of how wonderful all this was, we being responsible for our lives, how creation only puts in front of us situations that resonate with our internal vibrations, and as I'm driving I conciously started to create that vibration telling myself from now on every day will be as I wished it would, and even if something I didn't wish for came up, I would go throu it as though going thru water, and even picture a situation where on the side of the highway I saw myself with car trouble but still keeping my balance and still relaxed and feeling good about life, not cursing anyone for it, kept driving in a very relaxed state when another slide of thoughts crosses my mind, tires, how old are my tires, do I need to replace them soon, and so on....when all of the sudden a sudden hard rattle starts shaking the car badly, vibrating intensely and pulling the car in one direction, never paniqued, just went eith the flow the car was taking, slowly breaking and not resisting the pull until coming to a complete stop on the shoulder. What I had just envisioned a minute ago occured, and also went thru it as I intended to if it ossured. It took me 20 minutes to change that tire and didn't affect my day at all. It is true that when we lear to control our mind, then and only then we'll know enlightment. LOVE, PEDRO Simplicity and dettachment go hand in hand I think.

Her family was really poor, and eventhough we were a little better off, we never thought of asking for anything extra. When we could have half an orange or an apple, it was a feast for us children. Now my children won't wear anything that isn't fashionable. We are so full of 'stuff' that at times I feel I'm choking, but I can give away only my own stuff and I have to respect my family's free will. Sometimes, I need to go out just to breath. So, I understand what you mean. Dear Gloria,

That's my motto. Simple is not easy though, particularly in western civilization. That is our challenge. Let's face it, it's a fun challenge :) If it’s not simple it is not truth. That’s my motto.
