A Mystical/Practical Journey

Open Mind State

When a person awakens, an open mind state is provided which allows a truthful view of your actions. With this open mind state you become aware if your actions are truly beneficial…

Having an open mind state allows for the ability to decipher the immediate effects of your actions and your current view. An open mind state doesn’t allow a delusional mind state to arise. In seeing delusion for what it is and its controlling characteristics, you just may be able to pause for a millisecond. If this isn’t seen, these characteristics will continue their delusional mind control.

Observe the mind state of delusion and its polar opposites, truth, generosity, love, and wisdom; these are mind states most people fluctuate between. With an open mind state you see how your actions and the associated consequences are linked. What happens first is you can decipher the mind state associated with the action, and second it’s seen if the associated action is beneficial. It’s very easy to see rage and its association with the mind state of anger. It doesn’t take much intelligence to see how this action isn’t beneficial to anyone. Without awareness of this one remains trapped in the mind state of rage and hence the associated actions. Intelligence has no bearing on this whatsoever.

It also works this way with the action of giving. Giving with no attached expectation is an action associated with the mind state of generosity. You can definitely see how this action benefits everyone; to me this is what an awakening is. One isn’t rendered white as snow because of becoming awake. No one among us can cast the first stone, but by the mind settling your view becomes open and you become aware of your actions and the associated mind state of those actions. It can then be seen that your actions are based in truth and are a benefit not only to yourself, but to all beings…

Truth Sets You Free

Heart Truth

There’s existence through made up stories or there’s the bigger picture beyond the stories where one is free because there’s a heart truth in the way things are…

When the mind is settled existence becomes truthful instead of reliance on your limited stories. There’s a deep truth of a settled mind; it’s in this settling that you see the existence of life itself. When you’re in this mind state, the everlasting truth of the heart is there to quiet the mind noise which is the cause of all doubly.

A mind that’s settled allows you to live from a truthful heart. This connects you with the goodness of life, your own internal goodness, and the goodness of all beings. The connection is already there, it’s just not known how to be aware of it. The only reason there isn’t awareness of this is because the Conditioned Mind blocks the truth that arises from the heart; these blocks allow all kinds of made up nonsense.

When it’s learned to discipline an undisciplined mind your blocks slowly subside; what naturally remains is a deep unyielding bond with your truthful heart. This bond is what’s there beyond the noise of a Conditioned Mind. In this space there’s truthfulness because with a settled mind it’s known who you truly are. A truthful heart allows the mind to settle so you’re not relying on your made up stories to live life. When there’s truthfulness, life is lived in the most beneficial way; as the beautiful loving being that you truly are…

Dangling Prize Mind

A mind distracted by dangling prizes can’t quiet itself regardless of what’s used as a distraction. Dangling prizes reinforce the distractions because it blocks out the awareness they are there…

If a distracted dangling prize mind is in control and running your life, it doesn’t matter much what’s going on, it’s going to be difficult to be aware they are there. It’s such a dangling prize world because most people think their answers are outside them when the answers are within. What the dangling prizes actually are and how they’re created is by not being aware that they’re not needed. With a mind that’s conditioned to go after dangling prizes, you have to constantly look for them, hence the distractions. This is how Conditioned Mind dangling prize distractions are formed and how they block awareness of your inner presence. It’s distractions created because if you understood them, the need to look for them would be non existent and so would the dangling prize distractions.

The ability to understand the dangling prize mind lies in being aware they’re there, but it’s not something that’s going to happen on its own. It’s a beautiful thing the awareness of the worlds dangling prizes are in your hands and that it’s totally up to each individual how much awareness there is in your life. A little quiet equates to a little awareness so it’s up to each individual to do what’s necessary to become more aware of the dangling prize mind distractions. As you become more aware of being in the present moment the dangling prize distractions lessen and what remains is inner presence. If you’re waiting for anything else, you’ll be waiting a very long time as it won’t happen while your dangling prize mind distractions are in control…
