Peaceful Awareness

Don’t allow anyone to take you from your peace. Let them think they’ve won, their satisfaction will be short lived before needing to win again; a solid foundation of peaceful awareness will last a lifetime…

We as humans are all created equal. It’s not that some have weaker minds than others, but some are more aware of themselves and this makes it seem that some have strengths that others don’t possess. The more unaware one is of themselves, the more you will be dragged around by the occurrences that happen in life; peaceful awareness is what one awakens to. It’s not an awakening to the great secrets of the Universe, but more so what pulls you from peaceful awareness. I would say in my own case one area where I’ve become more aware is in not allowing other people’s actions to pull me from my place of peace. At times my initial reaction is to get annoyed, but it’s usually realized very quickly that most people know not what they do so to allow their actions to control me is on me. Because all humans come into the world basically the same (unconditioned) it’s the level of conditioning that makes one appear weak or strong, but one is just more aware of their conditioning than another person.

Let the other person think they’ve won, that they’ve gotten the better of you. Except to the ego it means nothing; this is how unconscious energy is squashed. This doesn’t change the other person, but it does change you. It stops all the stories associated with the situation which festers as unconsciousness; I’m going to say this to them, or they are wrong, or don’t they know who I am, this is all the nonsense of the Conditioned Mind (ego) and nothing good comes from this energy. So as I said, let the other person think they’ve won, but you will know in your heart what the truth is because of remaining in your place of peace and not giving in to the Conditioned Mind nonsense. After all one can only be taken from their place of peace when it’s allowed and it only occurs when the ego is in control…

Deceptive Void

The Conditioned Mind creates a deceptive lie seen as a void, this void is a lack of love. Until this is realized, one will constantly need to reach for something to try and fill this deceptive void even though it doesn’t truly exist…

For many years I had a deceptive void in me that was created from a lack of love. That’s why I constantly reached for things to fill it, I have since come to understand this. This deceptive void isn’t a true void at all, it’s emptiness; this emptiness is the essence of love. It’s where life truly happens when one is busy making other plans. By not understanding this, I spent most of my life trying to fill a deceptive void with whatever I could get my hands on. This is an endless list as to what can be used, so each individual has to investigate for themselves what that is. It’s ironic though because now most of my life is spent in the space that for so long was a deceptive void; the truth of this has been revealed to me.

This deceptive void is the reason a person reaches for anything or wants life to be different. If this was understood humanity would be much different because contentment would be the way of the world. The void is a deceptive lie of the Conditioned Mind and it keeps one constantly needing the present moment to be different so it keeps you reaching to fill it. This will need to be understood if the reaching is to ever end. When it’s understood, the deceptive void transforms to love because the present moment doesn’t need to be different. When the present moment doesn’t need to be different, life reveals its true essence which doesn’t ever need to be filled with anything because the deceptive void is seen for the lie that it is…

Doing Mind Limits

A doing mind is a mind that has limited conditioned ideas based on a sense of self. Because of this there’s no space to just be…

As long as the doing mind is in control, there will be limited peace because at the core of this doing is the sense of self. The sense of self may be the hardest concept to let go of because it’s interwoven with just about every thought. Even though it has also been in place since existence began, it’s not the sense of self that limits, it’s the attachment to it. I have a sense of self simply because I exist, but the attachment to it has lessened significantly in the last few years. This has opened enough space to allow being instead of doing. This is not to say I don’t sometimes attach to the sense of self, but never like the first forty nine years of my life.

People who question what I write about don’t realize there’s an understanding of how my mind works because I’ve sat and investigated why I reacted and did the things that I did. Very few truly investigate their Conditioned Mind and this leads to doing mind limits. This doesn’t make me better than anyone knowing this, but by having an understanding of the lies that limited and controlled me for so many years, it allows me to not attach to them. I would have to say therein lies the difference between having doing mind limits or being free to just be. This also creates the difference between doing mind limits or the unlimited expansion of being…
