Repetitive Nonsense

Do whatever you believe you need to do, just don’t attach to it and watch how the repetitive nonsense of your thoughts dissipates as you’re simply not part of them…

Many think what happens in life causes their reactions, but what’s not understood is the reactions are already in place, they’re just being triggered by what’s occurring. There’s so much conditioning that it keeps people from understanding their own mind, and if you don’t understand your own mind it will control you. I know people don’t think their thoughts are nonsense and take offense to this being pointed out, but this is the exact energy that’s being projected out without an inkling of the repetitive nonsense. You may be abruptly responding right now to this by thinking who do I think I am to label thoughts as nonsense, but that’s what’s seen so that’s what’s shared. What was revealed to me was just how much of humanities thoughts are repetitive nonsense; just watch the news. Anytime anger is a response it causes your own suffering, yet it’s done all the time. That’s only part of it, what’s really crazy is it isn’t truly known why there’s anger. Stories are made up why there is, but that doesn’t mean they’re true.

There are many justified causes for anger, but they’re all just part of the repetitive nonsense; that it’s done without realizing it is why it’s nonsense. The list of attachments that are held onto are endless, this is what keeps the repetitive nonsense in place. Very few will really get what this article is about, it’s easier to say the writer doesn’t know what he’s talking about than to truly look at this. The only way sanity will return and anger won’t be repetitive is if it’s understood. Look around and see how attachment is the leading cause of all this repetitive nonsense. When you wake up you can pull away from this nonsense; which remains in control if waking up doesn’t occur. Do whatever you believe you need to do, just don’t attach to it and watch how the repetitive nonsense of your thoughts dissipates as you’re simply not part of them…

Uncontested Reactions

Most reactions that occur in life are uncontested as they’re put in place by your own conditioning. So if your life isn’t lived to its fullest potential it’s your own uncontested reactions that block it from being so…

Although things appear to be a certain way it’s not always as it seems. It’s difficult to see beyond your own mind when uncontested conditioning is brought into play. So much of what the mind holds in storage is used at particular times and this blocks life from truly being lived. We already have in place the way things are going to be handled, uncontested reactions are formed in this way. 

Sports is a billion dollar industry because of this. Politicians have people write speeches using certain words they know are going to sway people in an uncontested way. Supermarkets know exactly where to place products. It’s all based on putting things in a certain place so your uncontested reactions make them more attractive. 

This goes on and on because the Conditioned Mind determines it. If you had no previous conditioning none of the above methods would work. But this is not the case so one of the keys to not reacting uncontestedly is to develop some way to be in the present moment. The more you’re in the present moment the more you’re with what life has to offer. When this occurs there’s a peace that passes all understanding because there’s awareness of the uncontested reactions so they naturally lose their control…

I AM Energy

I AM energy comes from a sacred place, it’s not a place that’s associated with any activity, it’s a place which simply unites us all to I AM energy…

In my experience I AM energy doesn’t expand on its own, it needs others. Deepening a connection with others deepens I AM energy which is what unites us. If we were all connected to I AM energy, there would be no more hate and we would fall over each other in love; it’s in this space that the I AM of life is experienced. I AM energy manifest as a smile, a warm embrace, the magnificence of love, and the deepest connection of our hearts. Loving oneself and others is the I AM energy that connects humanity, this is experienced from the sacred place within.

I don’t really know what life is about, but I do understand how I AM energy when connected with others is sacred. When this is experienced it leaves one speechless. For me because of this I AM energy, I have been speechless many times in my life. I’m using the words I AM energy to describe this, but words cannot truly explain it. I watched in awe as I explained what I went through to someone and I saw the I AM energy in their eyes, to me this is our energy uniting. I AM energy comes from such a sacred place, it’s not something that any human activity can make happen. When our I AM energy is connected with others there’s unity with ourselves and with all humanity…

The Best Decisions

Since the mind that tells you to do something is the same mind that questions why it was done, there’s no way you can be sure the decisions you make are actually for the best…

You think every decision made is the best one. If you didn’t think that you wouldn’t make it, but just because you think it’s best that doesn’t mean it actually provides the most benefits. What’s of real importance is if the decisions you make are truly the best. Many decisions made aren’t always the best, why do you think this is so? If you were really in control of your life, you would never make a decision that wasn’t beneficial. Dream your dreams, do your good deeds, but the question always comes back to, what are the motives behind the decisions made? That will determine not so much if you make the best decisions, but if decisions made are a benefit to all beings.

To understand this you will have to investigate your own mind and the motives behind your decisions. Decisions will be made based on conditioning, that’s what applies the label of best. Because most people are controlled by their self-serving conditioning, decisions are usually of the self-serving variety. Most decisions are based on this and they’re not the always the best and most beneficial. But they’re the decisions made so live with it, accept it, and move on. Just understand the motives behind them and not only can you make the best ones, but you will also make the ones that are the most beneficial to you and to all beings…

Ignorantly Conditioned

When you’re ignorantly under the control of the Conditioned Mind, you behave in ways not because it’s the way you want to be, it’s because it’s the way you have to be…

It was a lack of understanding of my ignorance that caused me to remain unaware of the control my mind had over me. I wasn’t aware of how my mind was ignorantly conditioned to self serve. The problem with this ignorant conditioning is it causes your own demise because destructiveness is disguised as pleasure. This pleasure is pursued by many to their death. It was pursued by me in this way and I was at its mercy. It said to me to use drugs, alcohol, gambling, womanizing, lying, cheating, stealing and so on. This is how the ignorant conditioning is reinforced daily by many; there are those who are fortunate to wake up and see this at a young age.

The way I was ignorantly conditioned wasn’t the fault of anything in particular. It happened indirectly by the loveless distractions influencing my life which molded me to behave in the ways my ignorance dictated. This was not because this is how I wanted to be, but by not understanding my ignorance, this is the way I had to be. You cannot behave in any other way except in the way you have been ignorantly conditioned. Change the ignorance and change your entire existence, or not and remain ignorant.

The value of not being ignorantly conditioned is in the understanding there’s nowhere else to turn but inward; not to God, support groups, therapy, self help books, positive thinking, and so on. What I learned is when ignorant conditioning is understood, it’s no longer in control. I also learned its control slowly dissipates as discipline is developed; the mind actually slows down. Once this slowing occurs, the possibilities are endless because the distractions that keep you ignorantly conditioned are revealed. With this understanding of what you’re truly up against, you’re able to develop the discipline necessary so the ignorant conditioning eventually falls away…

Never Compromised

You can compromise and hope for the best in life by letting the so called chips fall where they may. Or you can take control of your life by never compromising and utilizing the most beneficial resources available…

You wouldn’t compromise on anything but the best doctor if you had a life threatening ailment. I know I would do the necessary research to find the best doctor available. Why is it that we compromise with answers from out there as our first choice when the most beneficial answers you’ll ever find are within yourself. We’re the best source to finding answers to what ails us once we have a proper diagnosis. This is when the necessary action can be taken to help heal our ailment. We have to use the most beneficial resources available for our answers, which are always within. Quietness is needed to understand this, without it the mind compromises and makes you think the most beneficial resources are out there somewhere.

This understanding will not occur on its own, it’ll take a willingness to allow this awareness. Without awareness it’s almost like picking a doctor through the old method of using the yellow pages in a phone book; remember them. Would you really compromise and take a chance like that? What is more important than your own life and having control over it? You can compromise and leave it up to chance, hope for the best and leave it at that, or you can use the most beneficial resources available to do what’s necessary to cooperate with life so you’re in harmony with it. Life can only be what it’s made out to be. Making it a masterpiece can only be done when it’s not compromised and the most beneficial resources available are sought out and utilized. Either you do this or you compromise and let chance determine how life will be. The choice is yours, it’s your life and using the most beneficial resources will allow it to not be compromised and lived to the fullest…

False Comfort Beliefs

Life will always be as it is regardless of your beliefs. Beliefs are used to provide false comfort and it’s really not needed if you simply live with what arises…

The definition of belief is a strong trust in someone or something that is assumed to be true. Is a belief wanting things to work out the way you think they should be or is it accepting things as they are and not wanting them to be different? The lack of being able to live by the accepting principles caused my entire struggle with life. Belief is a word attached to a story, there are many interpretation of beliefs. The way I used beliefs was as though there was something that was going to grant my wishes; it’s not a big surprise that this kind of belief caused many problems. I only had beliefs in the material world. I had to use things in order to feel good which meant I only had myself to rely on to get what I thought I needed for satisfaction.

At the time though it is what was inside me. I firmly held onto a belief that if God didn’t grant my wishes where was the need for it. If I didn’t get what I desired I didn’t need a belief for this; I could be disappointed without it. So this was the path that was laid before me so I took care of things myself;  I might as well, after all God wasn’t doing anything for me, but what I truly wanted was a magician.

It’s not this way today, but not because there is a belief in something else. Today the belief lie has been exposed and my trust lies in what is. Truth of what is isn’t a belief that everything is going to go my way, it means it’s the way it is and that’s the way it’s going to be. There’s no longer the need for a story in my life because I live life as it arises. Through the practice of being with what is, there’s a knowing that life will work out in life’s way, not mine; this doesn’t need a belief. I have stopped using a belief story of getting something or having someone that’s going to take care of my life. Life is life, it takes care of itself. I’m just one part and whatever happens; life is as it is not as I think it should be. This is the acceptance of being with the reality of what is. I don’t need a belief to live my life because life will always be as it is regardless of what the Conditioned Mind wants to use to make me think it should be different; a belief changes what is to what isn’t…

Engaged Energy

Engaging energy determines how you live. If your engaged energy is constantly towards yourself, you will be selfish. If you possess the whole world, but aren’t free from self, you’ll remain engaged in a self created prison…

Being free from the prison of self requires engaging your energy away from self serving thoughts. When the mind gets engaged on these thoughts there’s a freedom that allows the mind to become unstuck. What makes it get stuck is engaged energy that’s mostly on satisfying self in some way. Engaging on the sensation of mind, body, and mental formations helps to alleviate the bondage of self. This is a direct path to how one becomes free from suffering. You can only be free when the engaging energy is on what allows freedom, but it’s tricky because to master this takes constant vigilance. It will be your directed engaged energy that determines the extent of freedom and that will be the determining factor how your life is lived.

Freedom from suffering is not pain free, it’s learning to be with the pain that arises. You cannot hide from what’s happening, but you can engage on something that anchors you in the Now. To no longer have your engaging energy on self is the path to liberation. How this is done is by simply not engaging on self and engaging on what will set you free. The self is there and it has been given a name. It has so many other different labels attached to it, but it’s a prison because of the mere fact of the engaging energy of attachment. Freedom occurs when there’s an understanding of the lies of self; not in creating concepts or beliefs. Where your energy is engaged determines how you live. If that energy is constantly engaged towards self, you will be selfish. If you possess the whole world, but aren’t liberated from self, you’ll remain stuck in a self created prison…

A Quiet Mind View

When there’s awareness of a quiet mind view and you don’t engage in what comes from the noisy mind, it makes for a view of life most people will never experience…

A view from a noisy mind is very different than a quiet one; the noisy mind has a much different agenda than being quiet. Every conflict known to mankind has been because of a noisy mind. You cannot have a conflict when a mind is quiet. Although a quiet view aches at times, it’s where all compassion comes from. This is the understanding from a quiet view the noisy (conditioned) view can’t grasp. Mind seeing is strictly from the way one is conditioned. A quiet view arises from the space of Now. I can tell right away when someone comes from a noisy mind view because there’s attachment with what’s being said. Usually the sentences starts with I, me or it will be said, I see what you’re saying, but.

A quiet view doesn’t make you smarter than anyone, all it means is you’ve been granted the vision to see clearly. A quiet view is difficult to see from because of all the distractions in place. These distractions keeps you trapped to the reaching of a view from the mind. Reach, reach, reach, a quiet view needs no such reaching, it realizes its completeness as it is. When your view is quiet you become more of an observer than a reactor, at least that’s been my experience. I had a noisy based view existence for many years.  Even today the old conditioning resurfaces, but because of the awareness there’s less engagement with what comes from the mind. This naturally allows a quiet view to arise. When you live from here it makes for a view of life much different than most people will ever experience…

Inner Vibration

What occurs when you awaken is there’s an inner vibration from the mind to the heart. This allows the veil of ignorance to be removed so the truth that has always been there is revealed…

People think there’s a change when one awakens and truth is revealed, but the true essence of what’s happening is there’s an inner vibration that allows you to see what has always been there. It’s not a change that occurs, it’s awareness of an inner vibration from delusional thinking to an understanding of the true nature of life; starting with your own mind. You cannot see if you don’t know yourself and you cannot know yourself if you don’t understand the Conditioned Mind. The reason why it’s so difficult to look inward is because the mind never settles down. It tells you everything is okay, that you do enough to get by in life; as long as this is so you will not become aware of the inner vibration because you’re Conditioned Mind will tell you there’s no need to..

Experiencing the inner vibration and looking at yourself is not pleasurable, especially when it’s first started, that’s why many are hesitant to do it. It’s much easier to have an out there view and do what’s familiar, but there are only benefits when an honest self appraisal is done; a step into the unfamiliar will need to be taken so you can get to know yourself. 

The mind defaults naturally to what’s familiar because of a conditioned out there view, but honest appraisal self is what allows the inner vibration to be revealed; this inner vibration is where truth becomes familiar. When truth is revealed what happens is the veil of ignorance is removed and where you were once blind you now see. It’s not a change, it’s awareness of the inner vibration that allows the truth that has always been there to be revealed and become the familiar…

Piled Up Past

Most of the problems that occur in life are due to piling things up; carrying one thing into the other. Until it’s learned to not pile up the events of the past, you’ll be weighed down by self-created burdens…

I never understood piling things up until I was at work one day. I work twelve hour shifts and we were working a lot of overtime. This particular week I was on my fifth day in a row. I was talking to one of my shift mates and he asked me if I was tired, this being my fifth day of work. As I began to answer him, the thought that popped into my head was “What does the previous four days have to do with today.” As I reflected about this, I saw how so much of the burdens that are carried around are strictly formed from not understanding how to not pile up the events of life. It’s a skill that eludes most and makes life more burdensome than necessary.

Imagine a life without the piling up affect, it can become a reality with practice. Events would be like water running off a ducks back; things would never pile up and become an issue. These piling up is the very thing that makes life feel as it is a burden. If it was learned to truly live in the moment and not carry the past into the now, piled up burdens would never materialize and there would be freedom to deal with what arises. So the key to any happy, joyous and free life isn’t that it’s free of difficulties (it would be if it were not for the conditioning) is understanding although life is one continuous journey, the past has nothing to do with the present. Learn to not pile up the events of the past so you aren’t weighed down by self-created burdens…

Completeness Within

When there’s a belief you need something to provide completeness, you’re controlled by this thought. Until this is understood, you’ll remain controlled by the belief that your completeness is outside of you…

You will never experience completeness in your life as long as you’re controlled by the belief that completeness is outside of you. Completeness is something that’s already within everyone, but because of the way our minds are conditioned, we get controlled by the thought that completeness is something to find. Unfortunately this is what makes the very thing you’re seeking elusive. Beliefs are the reason one is constantly controlled by something, and until these beliefs are no more, you’ll remain controlled by the thought that completeness is in the next thing reached for. This can’t be stressed enough as this control has to be seen if you’re to ever experience true completeness. 

The thought of being complete isn’t completeness. What has to happen if completeness is to ever be experienced is, there has to be an understanding of how beliefs control you. The reason why completeness is so elusive is because of the inability to be aware of this. When the need to reach for something arises, being controlled by belief begins; this is a conditioned cycle that’s very difficult to break. Completeness isn’t something that can be manufactured so it’s in doing less that it arises. Many are controlled by trying to find completeness, but since it’s already within, the belief associated with finding it needs to be discarded so you can uncover the reason why you’re controlled by the belief you’re not complete…

Impermanence Reality

Holding on to anything is a prison, but the thing being held is only the sentence. The prison is the lie the Conditioned Mind creates that blocks you from seeing the reality of impermanence…

The reality of life is impermanence and because of this when there is holding on to anything, there has to be suffering. Suffering is directly related to what one holds onto and how tight the hold is. Impermanence is a natural phenomenon of life, and since the nature of it can’t really be changed, the only way for the suffering not to occur is to learn how not to hold on to things. You can still enjoy all that life has to offer, but if true liberation is to be experienced, holding on will have to fall away. I say fall away because many hold on to not holding on and thus stay glued to their suffering. Letting go isn’t really a doing, it’s why many remain trapped to the bondage of self. If true liberation is to be experienced, there will have to be awareness of the hold the conditioned mind has over yup. Few have this willingness to look inward because the conditioning in place to doesn’t allow it, hence the need to hold on to things constantly rears its ugly head; this causes suffering.

There’s holding on because the conditioning in place is based in a lie. When this lie is let go of, that’s when the truth of impermanence is revealed; it’s not a truth that can be explained. The moment it’s explained there’s holding on because it becomes an idea, concept, or belief. This is why in stillness truth is revealed. All I know today has been revealed to me. To truly stop holding on to the lie, it has to be seen that all holding on is a lie. If this isn’t seen, holding on continues along with its associated suffering. This moment needs no idea, concept, or belief to be. If you can see this, holding on is naturally lessened because right now exists free of its lie, and without the holding on lie revealed is the reality of impermanence…

A Loving Heart

Our human form is the what’s used to experience life so our human form should never be denied. Non attachment to it though is key if one is to truly experience life from a loving heart…

When life begins there aren’t any blocks developed to a loving heart. Slowly though as we grow, blocks are developed by attaching labels to our human form; this is how we experience life so we should never deny our human form. Non attachment to it is key to truly experience a loving heart. The more thought that’s applied to our human form, the less in touch we are with the true essence of a loving heart.

It would be easy to say “that’s just the way I am” but no one is just the way they are. We become the way we are by influences and conditioning. It’s very nice to say things like our true essence is to love, but with all the tragic behavior that goes on, it’s really difficult to see our true essence as anything but insane.

Everyone goes around forcing their will on whomever they come in contact with and it’s labeled as love. But a loving heart never forces anything, it doesn’t need to. The conditioning to labels goes very deep and why this is so is because it’s the foundation of the way most people exist. These labels are the reason why people reach outside themselves for fulfillment; all to satisfy a human form. Attachment to human form is the only block that one will encounter to their loving heart. Until there’s awareness of this, you will never truly embrace love through your human form. I’m not saying people don’t love, but there’s a lot of selfish attachment in the way most people love. Until the mind settles so one embraces their human form and lives from their loving heart, the Conditioned Mind will remain in control and living from a heart of love will be fleeting at best. So sit and be still and you just may see how it’s only in this moment that you can embrace your human form and thus experience life from a loving heart…

Awareness Opportunities

The more aware you are for life, the more it cooperates with you. This doesn’t mean everything will be as its wanted, but what happens is the opportunities for there to be cooperation increases…

Life will occur whether you are aware of what is happening or not. What awareness affords a person is the opportunities for a different reaction to what arises and thus a different outcome. It’s a given that what arises, arises. There’s not much that can be done in that regard, but what it affects presents different opportunities. Years ago there weren’t many opportunities for my reactions to be different. They were all based in a very limiting self-serving perspective; this was just how I was conditioned. I wouldn’t have allowed anyone to do half of the things I did to myself, but yet because I didn’t know any better, destructive reactions were normal for me. Without awareness of the conditioning in place, the opportunity for anything to be different was non existent…

Although today life is still life and what arises, arises, without the self-serving view not being as prevalent as it once was, it has opened up so many more opportunities in my life. What’s truly beautiful about this is my destructive reactions are less and less; on their own. Being aware of the way you react to what happens is where opportunities to be different arise from. When you’re stuck in one view, you‘re limited to that view; the opportunity of reaching your full potential is iffy at best. The more you’re in harmony with life the more life cooperates with you. This doesn’t mean everything will be perfect or go the way you think it should, but the imperfections (only because of a self-serving view) won’t limit your opportunities…
