Inner Light View

It’s the outer view of satisfying “I” that keeps you from seeing the inner light of your own innate beauty; this beauty is a result of the light that comes from looking inward…

No one is more special than another in this existence, but there are some who do see their inner light beyond the outer view. Although no one is chosen, I would say what makes this happen for some and not others is some let go of the outer view which allows them to see their inner light view. I have lived two existences, one which was from the outer view where there was much self inflicted suffering. The other is the one I’m living now which is an inner view which allows me to see my own inner light. The differences in the two views is one created suffering and was done in ignorance, the one today is lived in awareness of the ignorance. Today my view is as it is because the outer distractions don’t control me as much as they once did. I’m still in the world, but I’m not as controlled by it.

The inner light view that is seen is a by product of awareness as the outer view is let go of. This opens up space to allow wisdom and insights to occur. This opening is directly linked to the letting go of “I”. It’s “I” that attaches and is the cause of all suffering. Ever so slowing when one begins to look inward the outer distraction of “I” falls away. To me, this is what was revealed to the great mystic’s that were considered special, but all they did was look inward. This looking inward is available to all, but you will have to overcome the outer view of “I” to not be distracted from it. It’s the outer view that keeps you from seeing the inner light of your own innate beauty which can only be seen when you look inward…

Noisy Mind

Understanding the nature of a noisy mind is one of the attributes of waking up. But it’s not the noise of the world that one wakes up from, it’s the noise of your own mind…

What is a noisy mind that runs your life? The noisy mind manifests because there’s attachment to your thoughts. The thought that arises about something doesn’t matter, it’s the attachment to the thought that forms the noisy mind. To understand the noisy mind one must be aware of its attachments, desires, confusions, and the way the mind works. Without this awareness the puppet on string patterns prevail; certain disciplines can turn one inward to see this. If what you’re doing doesn’t turn you inward, you’ll remain trapped to a noisy state of mind. This is why nothing from the outside truly changes a person because anything from the outside is part of the noisy mind. A noisy mind can’t fix itself; as long as it’s reaching for something on the outside, it remains trying to fix itself and thus it remains noisy. Until this truth is seen, things will stay as they are because nothing is being done to make it different.

We can only go beyond the noisy view if there’s awareness of it. What this means is one has to develop mindfulness of what they’re doing as it’s being done so there‘s awareness of what’s being done. If you know what you’re doing as it’s being done, it leaves little room for the noisy mind to arise. Mindfulness is probably the most important discipline to develop as it anchors you in the moment of what’s being done. A noisy mind only occurs when one lives in the story of a past or future. This noisy mind made constructs keeps the noise active. The present moment can be seen without making it a story even though it passes as quickly as it arises; the past and future can never truly be seen without a story. Because of the lack of discipline to be present, most people live a noisy mind existence…

Addictive Reaching

Don’t let addictive reaching keep you in an unconscious state. All addictive reaching (attachment) has consequences regardless of what’s reached for…

If you’re always addictively reaching it’s because you don’t think what you have is enough. If you don’t think you have enough, there will always be something addictively reached for. Reaching isn’t something that’s inherently a bad thing, why one reaches addictively is where issues arise; this is because one thinks something is missing. What is addictively reached for only matters to the degree in how the thing affects your life. The addiction to drink alcohol in access has consequences much different than the addiction to go to a program to stop using it. Make no mistake though, the addictions core is the same and that’s what needs to be examined. Don’t let the different consequences of addictive reaching lull you into unconsciousness because all reaching leads to bondage in one form or another.

You might say that’s not true, reaching to better yourself is a good thing, but that would mean you need things to be different to accept yourself. Accepting life exactly in the present is the only place the peace of not needing to addictively have things different is experienced. I’m not saying don’t better yourself, but if it’s at the expense of your peace of mind, where’s the benefit. I say go for the gold, just understand even if it’s attained you will find it’s not providing the benefits you thought it would; shortly afterwards more gold will be addictively reached for. Investigate this and see how addictive reaching arises from desire, and desire causes bondage (attachment) which causes suffering. Break free from the addictive reaching of desiring things different and you will inevitably stop suffering…
