Conditioned Mind Insanity

Only the insanity of a Conditioned Mind cares about winning and losing, and it’s because when it applies one of those labels there’s attachment to the emotional energy of like or dislike…

The insanity of the Conditioned Mind has begun for the 2024 presidential election in the USA. The smugness of who’s in office, the push by the wanna be president. Why this is insanity is because it’s all created from within each individual and it keeps us all divided. We think our division is with others, but it’s only with ourselves that we’re divided. In truth there is no such thing as a winner or loser, there’s only the applied label that makes this so. One person will get more electoral votes than the other so they get the position that will be up for grabs in November. The label that one applies to the circumstances in all of life is what causes all the insanity because it makes one attach to the situations. Since attachment is the root of all suffering even if the one you labeled as your candidate was elected it will still cause suffering. Suffering is the natural energy of attachment; winning causes suffering as does losing.

This insanity goes on all the time not just in an election year. Election just makes attachment deeper because of all the focus on it that has been going on for a substantial period of time. This is why issues within families often arise because the attachment has been in place for a long time. There’s very little attachment with a stranger so there’s very little issue with them, and this is because there’s very little time spent with them. Awareness is a very valuable tool to use in understanding the insanity of the Conditioned Mind. Without awareness the conditioning remains as the reason why people hold onto not getting their way energy. It doesn’t matter who wins except to those who attach to the candidate of their choosing. And it’s only the Conditioned Mind insanity that really cares because it applies the label of winner or loser as it attaches to the emotional energy of like or dislike…

Life Teaches

Allowing life to be as it is and not needing it different, allows life to teach you the lessons that are needed to learn…

It order to not get caught up in making life about something, it’s very important to remain in the present moment. To me if the so called spiritual path is about anything, this is it because it’s the only place that actually exist. I have learned so many valuable lessons the last fifteen years, but regardless I’m always led to the same lesson; non attachment is the only way there will ever be freedom. And it can only be done when our state of being is anchored in the present moment. This is not a belief or concept, this is the lesson life gave me. I don’t really understand all the other teachings, they seem to be about some created answer instead of one that arises. Any teaching that is created to be about something is just a concept or belief. A true answer arises, it’s never created.

When you’re present, you’re with true reality and if there’s non attachment to this reality it will be impossible to lose your center of being; therefore one would never ever suffer. Look deeply at what is attached to. Even if there’s some behavior that’s not changed, if there is non attachment to it, you will remain free. Non attachment/non judgement is the only true state of being where one is free. Even trying to change the world for its betterment is a form of attachment. Allow life to be as it is and life will teach what lessons are needed to learn…

Limited Choices

Going through life without an understanding of how the mind works makes existence much more difficult because it limits your choices. Limiting your choices, limits your opportunities…

We discover the cause of all suffering when we’re truly able to see our thinking for what it is, and understand how it creates feelings and emotions that aren’t real. They feel real because of what our association is to them, but their reality is only relative to our thinking and the association to our identity. When this is discovered and we disassociate with this kind of thinking, we become more aligned with the Creative Intelligence of the Universe which to me is love; love is what gives us so many more choices in life.

When we stop believing in the nonsense of thought, we learn how to allow love to be our guide. This is when we’ll be able to see your thoughts for what they truly are, disassociate from them and separate the ones that cause suffering and limit your choices; this is when our suffering ceases to exist. This is not some belief, this is factual. I know this because it’s my direct experience. A thought cannot cause harm unless it’s given the energy needed to do so, and this is what determines if the thought is held onto or not. The more it’s held onto, the more it limits your choices. In the awareness of this is one’s freedom. It’s your own ignorance of this that creates suffering. This suffering is caused by going through life without an understanding of how the mind works and how it limits your choices; with limited choices you have limited opportunities…

Inner Child Awareness

The more the self-serving mind is in control, the more the light of your inner child is doused by the world, and the less awareness there is that your inner child light is even there…

Everyday, take the time to develop more awareness of your inner child light. We are all born of this light, but remaining aware of it determines how your inner child remains a part of life. There are many traps that takes a piece of your inner child light and locks it away; very few traps take it all at once. As the self-serving mind is developed, if it’s blindly followed the inner child will be there beneath the surface, but it will be unseen. The Conditioned Mind takes on the role of trying to constantly arrange life to be a certain way, this is the baby in us, not the inner child.

Make no mistake between these two, the baby is self-serving, wanting, and selfish. The inner child, is loving, caring, and innocent. Depending on your up bringing and whatnot determines how much awareness there is of your inner child. To understand this is to know yourself, and when you know yourself you can develop discipline to reverse the process that douses your inner child. The more discipline there is, the more your inner child shines forth as when life began.

If the light goes out, it can only be relit from within. Others can provide a spark to start this process, but it will be from the awareness of your own inner child that the process will expand. It’s up to each individual to develop awareness of their inner child, or not and remain trapped to a life that is self-serving, wanting, and selfish. Choose wisely because it will determine not only the awareness of your light, but also the light of the Universe…

Wasted Time

Wasting time on things you don’t know is wasted energy. By acknowledging you don’t know something and being okay with it, the minds usual state of unrest is quieted…

A lot of time can be spent on questions such as are we human beings having a spiritual experience or are we spiritual beings having a human experience. Either way it doesn’t matter much, unless your mind wants to waste time on a definition. Neither statement can’t really be factually proven; it’s like arguing over a parking space in the mall with both parties claiming that the parking space is theirs. Neither can prove the truth of their statement, the parking space is theirs.

Wasting time on something that can’t be factually proven doesn’t enhance life one bit, even to the mind that wants to make it so. So many thoughts that equate to nothing, 10, 15, 20 times the same thought comes in, it goes around in a circle and dissipates, only to return again and again. This is where the value of awareness will assist in making life different. No one is immune to anything that occurs due to being human, but with a practice in place resulting in some awareness, you’re not pulled in to make up a story that you’re a human being having a spiritual experience, no wait you’re a spiritual being having a human experience. It doesn’t really matter how it’s said because either way I Am simply is…

Unconscious Desires

The unconscious mind has a view based in the desires of the world. It’s difficult to break this spell because most of what goes on in our daily lives reinforce the unconscious desires. A free mind doesn’t desire the world…

The struggles with life have nothing to do with life. It’s the view based in the world of unconscious desires that causes the struggle because this view is controlled by the unconscious mind. When desires are fulfilled and things are going the way that they’re wanted, there’s not much of a struggle with life as it’s labeled as good. When things are going this way what causes life to be a struggle is forgotten. When this is done it makes life’s base centered in the world of unconscious desires; these desires pull you around like a puppet on a string.

The more this occurs the more suffering there is in life. Sometimes it is very subtle, but it’s there. As a matter of fact even if there’s some awareness of being controlled by an unconscious mind, it still produces suffering. The suffering occurs just by being in a state where the unconscious desires are in control.

The less the world of unconscious desires are allowed (which is wanting what is wanted when it’s wanted), the less struggle there is with yourself and with life. This is simply because unconscious desires aren’t in control. When this is forgotten and the unconscious mind is creating chaos, the suffering is immense. Desire less, suffer less, but only when an unconscious mind becomes conscious of itself…

Honest With Yourself

If one is to be an effective instrument for others, their foundation has to be based in a truth that’s provided by honesty. Life’s effectiveness is a direct result of how honest you are with yourself…

It’s impossible to be all things to all people, but to know your deepest inner truth allows you to be honest with yourself; when someone is drawn to you it’s from their own inner honesty. To know yourself is to develop the ability to be honest with yourself. Regardless of how you are perceived by others, it’s your own inner honesty that provides an effective foundation; the more honest you are with yourself, the deeper and more truthful your foundation.

We can learn from others, but not by trying to conform to the way they want us to be, we have to stick to truth, that is if it’s truly known. The Conditioned Mind creates a world of surface lies, without going to a deeper level to really understand truth, the surface lies become your truth and your foundation for living. Watch what is held onto with a steadfast grip because if it’s a surface lie, it doesn’t matter how much perseverance you have, it will not benefit you or others. Steadfast and perseverance are admirable traits, but only if they’re backed by truth. Not a made up truth, but a truth that’s found in the stillness of the moment that allows for the entering of a deeper place in the heart that few go. To truly know yourself you have to develop the ability to be honest with yourself…

A Different Future

Once you identify the coping mechanisms that have been put in place to deal with life, you can take action to stop using them which will make your future different…

Everything in life is learned, this is what makes up your life. Regardless if it’s beneficial for you or not, it will still be done because it‘s what you have learned; what is learned is used to cope with feelings. You spend a lot of time focused on learning to use tools you think are needed to cope with life. This is why alcohol is so widely used because it works so well as a coping mechanism. Drugs work well also, as does gambling, sex, work, food, music, TV etc. These are just some of the distractions used to cope with life. Understand this, when you can just be with the way things are with no needed coping mechanisms, that’s when you will not have the need to reach for anything. When this happens you will know a peace like no other; you will be in a place that few go. Be there regardless of how you feel and you will understand that feelings aren’t based in facts, they just are; the peace for knowing this is priceless.

Coping mechanisms are not needed to live, you would exist without them. The essence of a spiritual awakening is to stop using the coping mechanisms you have spent your entire life creating. They have been created to make you who you think you need to be, but when you start to become aware that these coping mechanisms have caused most of your problems, you can begin to undo what you yourself have put in place. The reason why people reach outside themselves for answers is to use the coping mechanisms that have put in place to deal with life. Once you are aware of this, you can take action to stop using your coping mechanisms; this is how your future becomes different…

Imperfect Perfection

Being stuck in a house because there isn’t awareness of an outside is like a person who thinks life is about what goes on between their ears…

The other day I was talking to someone about being stuck in a rut of wanting life different. My reply was this: You’re only stuck when you live in the space between your ears. As the road to happy destiny is trudged, your conditioning slowly changes, but contentment shouldn’t be based on this change. I’ve come to an understanding of life that it’s perfect when it’s accepted as it is; it’s perfect in its imperfections. Until this was understood my searching for perfection remained in place. That’s what one’s search is really all about anyway; trying to have things the way you think they should be.

For me my searching ended when I understood my conditioning is not me. I don’t try to be anything or achieve a certain state, I am what I am. This is my place of peace and the great thing about this is it’s not dependent on anything. Read your books, sit in meditation, go to the gym, do yoga and whatnot, but none of these things nor will anything else stop the searching. That is until it’s realized what’s here right now is what you are searching for…

Mind Awareness

A mind that’s not aware of itself can’t be changed with self help methods. Only through the quietness of the heart can one be set free from the questions that hold the mind captive…

A do it yourself self help mentality to a better life is like having directions to one place, but a trip to another place is planned. The directions have purpose, but their usefulness are limited. Even if the directions are used correctly it will never get you to your destination. I’m not insinuating there isn’t value in the directions, but their usefulness is limited, and they become useless if you’re not traveling to the place of the directions; self help methods and programs produce these same useless results. We are constantly trying to arrange life thinking we can fix ourselves by trying to fill an inner void with all kinds of things from the outside, and regardless of the fix the void never gets filled. This is not some theory I made up, it‘s factual because this is exactly what happened to me. Look around and you’ll see how the world is full of people doing this same exact thing; if you are truly honest with yourself you’re probably doing it too.

Think of this, the mind that creates the need for self help is the same mind that’s going to be used to fix it; this isn’t feasible. If this mind didn’t create a problem to begin with, the need for self help wouldn’t be required. It’s like rotating a flat tire, putting the flat side on top, and expecting the flat to be repaired. Something that’s broke cannot be used to repair itself. It would take a miracle for this to happen; if you want to rely on miracles so be it.

Another question to asked yourself, have you ever done something and questioned why it was done? Understand the mind that told you to do it is the same mind that is now questioning it; this is the mind that self help relies on. There’s no wonder humans are in the state we’re in. Humans have created the way the world is and the same humans are trying to fix it. And get this, with the same mind that made the world the way it is. A mind that is broke cannot fix itself because if it could, there wouldn’t be the need to fix it to begin with…

Guidance of Love

To be guided by love is natural and it puts you in harmony with life. Life never does anything to you, it’s you who stops being guided by love, and since it’s unnatural it will certainly seem like life is doing something to you…

The guidance of love is in place to put you in harmony with life and it’s also in place to offer protection against certain behavior. When one is guided by love it allows life to be lived to the fullest, but the mind has to be open and free flowing for the guidance of love to take place. There are also man made guidelines that align with love, but many of them are broken which blocks life from being as beneficial as it could be. The more one is guided by selfish behaviors, the less chance there is to be guided by love. When things are used and abused to satisfy self, this blocks love from being natural. The animal realm is guided by nature and because of this there’s perfect balance. Unfortunately the human conditioning relies on the intellect and not enough on what naturally occurs.

Life will mostly be lived in one of two ways, acting in ways so one is guided by love or not. A quiet mind can see this and slowly stops doing the things that block the guidance of love. As long as one is alive life will be lived, but in what way determines the actions and consequences. Take heed, it’s not life that does anything to you, it’s you who blocks the guidance of love, and since it’s unnatural it will certainly seem like life is doing something to you…

Blank Stare Mindset

Everyone begins existence complete, it’s just that not many realize it, hence the need to reach for it. People have many blank stare mindsets throughout their lives so the reaching seems natural, but it’s not…

Constantly having a need to reach for things keeps you in the grip of reaching because it creates a blank stare mindset. The reason why reaching is done is to try and remove the blank stare mindset, but the reaching is what keeps the blank stare mindset in place. Only by looking inward does the blank stare mindset begin to dissipate. What happens is it dissipates because the reachings hold weakens. Years of conditioning makes the blank stare mindset almost impossible to change and it’s unfortunate because many never get beyond this. I did say almost impossible because the slightest turning inward is all that’s needed. Once reaching outside ceases as the blank stare mindset is exposed, looking inward becomes the way and it has a ball rolling down a hill effect; it just naturally picks up momentum.

Outside reaching is used as a distraction so one doesn’t have to look at themselves. The greatest lie we tell ourselves and constantly reinforce it is we need things from the outside to be complete, but there’s nothing further from the truth. Everyone begins existence complete, it’s just that not many realize it, hence the need to reach for it. People have many blank stare mindsets throughout their lives so the reaching seems natural, but it’s not. We’re not meant to have a blank stare mindset, it’s only because of the conditioning we develop. Once the slightest opening occurs everything changes because the inward view reveals truth, and although we live a lie for most of our lives, when truth is revealed the blank stare mindset dissipates as truth sets you free…

Stuck Labels

Stuck labels keep you attached to a world where there’s very little freedom because there’s no room for truth. If you want freedom, the stuck labels will have to go…

The more you label something, the more you’re stuck to those labels. It’s difficult to experience the openness of something if you’ve already decided how it is. To remain open one needs to limit their labels. This is essential if there’s be alignment with the Universe and be free from the things that you’re stuck to. Being stuck to the things that have a hold on you will need to be let go of if there’s to be freedom; this hold is very subtle. Even the label on whether you like this post or not will keep you stuck in the same place. This post can resonate with you without a label, but labels seem to make the world go round. That doesn’t mean it’s a good thing, but that’s just a label.

I lived an existence that was label based for most of my life, this caused much conflict; wars are started over being stuck to labels. If you’re really honest with yourself you’ll see that every disagreement you ever had with someone was caused by being stuck in different label about something. I’m not saying you shouldn’t stand up for truth, but truly knowing about something and labeling it are totally different.

There is a place of no labels, if it’s not understood you’ll never become unstuck, and you’ll remain in an existence that’s stuck in labels. When this is the place lived from there’s very little freedom. When you can just be with life as it unfolds and not label it as this or that, you’ll be on the verge of truly experiencing life, label free. When you’re not stuck to everything by applying a label, there’s freedom to be with life as it is without the need of a label that just keeps you stuck in the same place…

Hidden Lies

There are many lies that are hidden which keeps you trapped to the lies. If these hidden lies aren’t exposed at least to where this is realized, your life will mostly be lived as a lie…

Hidden lies are what gets you in trouble. Thinking the grass is greener on the other side is one of these lies. Until it’s seen that this grass also has to be mowed, your hidden lies will continue to be in control. If you think when certain things happen you’ll be set, you will be sadly mistaken even if those things come to pass. This is very hard to see and as one clings to the hidden lie of needing life to be a certain way; the hidden lies are reinforce themselves. Case in point would be something as simple and seemingly innocent as playing the lottery. Here’s how this works. There’s the lie that’s hidden that makes you think if life is a certain way you will have it made; it’s the answer to your so called prayers. So you buy a lottery ticket just because the jackpot is a hundred million dollars. This seems innocent, but make no mistake, it isn’t.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with money, but whatever is hidden that makes a person think life would be better if this or that happens, it puts you in the chains of the hidden lie. Granted a hundred million dollars would make life different, but different doesn’t mean it will necessarily be better. The moment the hidden lie makes you think life needs to better, it means the present moment is wanted different. There are many hidden lies that keep you trapped to the lies, if these aren’t exposed life will mostly be lived as a lie. Money is only one hidden lie, anything can be substituted for money. Don’t take my word on this, investigate this and see the hidden lies that are in control. Or not and remain in bondage to the hidden lies that you’re keeping in place by thinking them to be true…

 

Constant Movement

Life is constant movement, it never stops. If this movement is noticed, it will allow much more understanding of life than if one is blindly controlled by habitual mind patterns that have a tendency to make life appear stagnant…

If the constant movement of life isn’t understood, that’s when the habitual conditioned mind patterns take over; it’s just the process in place. You can be in a state where you’re happy and out of nowhere arises something that triggers one of your habitual stagnated mind patterns. Depending on what these patterns are based in determines if you’re still happy after it’s attached to. This is how it works, we’re pulled around by patterns and the constant movement goes unnoticed so it’s controlling energy attaches to whatever pattern is associated with the moment. This is where everything arises from, feelings, emotions, sensations, judgements, hatred, and whatnot, hence the puppet on a string syndrome is king if the constant movement of life isn’t noticed. Think about this, you can’t have any feeling or emotional swing without attachment to movement, most people don’t really have any inkling of this and because of this very few truly understand life. I don’t say this in jest, I’m no different, I just notice the constant movement a little more.

Here’s something to do to possibly understand the constant movement a little better. Make a commitment to sit for a certain time, say thirty seconds, keep it real. In those thirty second just watch what arises, watch the constant movement, a thought arising and just notice it. Just sitting, looking, acknowledging, noticing, letting it arise and pass; all of this is just the constant movement of each particular moment. This should help in getting a better grasp on the constant movement. The committed sitting time is up to the individual or don’t sit at all and remain a slave to the constant movement as it arises, and habitually controls your life. It’s the constant movement that makes life what it is, and if this goes unnoticed so will most of your life…

Endorsed Conditioning

You can only do what the conditioned mind endorses. Until you wake up and notice what it is your mind endorses, it will remain in place and the mind endorsed nonsense will direct your existence…

Everything reached for is a coping mechanism your own mind has endorsed for you to use. And although endorsing different things will produce different outcomes, the core of all of this endorsed nonsense is the same; it arises from your conditioned mind. This is what causes one to constantly seek what isn’t real. The Conditioned Mind makes you believe it’s real, and the ensuing behavior manifest to fill this endorsed nonsense. The Conditioned Mind says, Hey, you need to reach for something, what is reached for depends on what the conditioning in place endorses; sit and ponder this for a while.

Until there’s awareness of what the Conditioned Mind endorses, suffering will remain because you will always have a need to endorse something to fulfill the arisen mind agitation. There’s nothing inherently wrong with this, but when it’s the driving force of existence, it will keep the mind in a constant state of an endorsed agitation. This cannot be seen by a mind that’s endorsing this state. Only with a quiet mind state will there be awareness of this. The reason why anything is reached for is because there’s an endorsement by the mind for the present moment to be different; this is the lie of the Conditioned Mind. You can only do what the Conditioned Mind endorses, and unless you notice this your conditioning will remain in place, and the endorsed mind nonsense will be the driving force of your existence…

Revealed Truth

Truth isn’t a created story, nor is it something that’s manufactured. It’s only revealed when the lies are revealed, so reveal your lies and truth will arise without the need to create it…

Here’s why truth is clear to me, fifteen years ago I began a different way to live my life and at the core of this was the revealing of the lies that were in control for so many years. I didn’t know much about anything at the time, but I did know something needed to be different. I understood one thing, my own mind was the cause as to why lies were the base of my existence, so I set out to find out why this was and if it was possible for this to change. As this process of self inquiry proceeded, my lies were slowly revealed. As this happened my life was controlled less and less by the lies. This doesn’t mean everything goes your way, it simply doesn’t matter how it goes because there aren’t the created lies of wanting or needing things a certain way; without the lies truth is revealed.

Truth is difficult to describe because versions of it are created, but I have found truth is in the space of what’s in front of you; truth is only dependent on what’s occurring in front of you. It can be horrible, beautiful, or neutral, the label doesn’t change the truth of what’s actually occurring. Being in the space of what’s in front of you changes it, and that’s because without a label there aren’t lies there’s only space. In this space there’s no lie and without a lie truth is revealed. It’s not a created version of truth, it’s the truth of just being in the space of what’s in front of you and not needing to add a lie to it. In this space truth is revealed, but it has nothing to do with creating it; it’s a revealed truth that arises when there’s awareness of your lies…

The Beauty of Life

The beauty of life can only be seen if that’s the view you have of the world. The world can only be seen through your eyes, and how quiet the mind is determines the beauty of the view…

The world is beautiful if you only take the time to see its beauty. You don’t have to go to a special place to see it. How about your own back yard or just taking a walk in the park, but if the mind isn’t quiet it will not matter where you are, you will not see the beauty of life.

So much of life is missed because of the noise in the head. Take the time to smell the roses before the roses are gone. If you keep saying tomorrow, my heart goes out to you because literally tomorrow never comes. Regardless of what goes on in your head, it’s always today. You may dream of tomorrow, but the dream can only happen today. You can hope or wish for tomorrow to be different than today, but at some point it will become today. It’s always today and that’s where the mind needs to be if you want to be with the beauty of what the Universe has to offer…

Take a step back before you miss one more second of your life. There are many distractions, that’s why if the mind isn’t quiet you miss the beauty of life which is always right before your very own eyes. It’s up to each individual alone to see the beauty life has to offer, but if you’re too busy to slow down, life will be over before you know it. You can accomplish many things in life, but that doesn’t necessarily equate to seeing the beauty of it. The Universe gives you a sense of awe, but it will only be seen by a mind that’s ready and quiet enough to see the beauty that is right before your eyes, if the time is taken to see it…

Love Sustains Itself

It is imperative to look within if you’re to awaken. The source of one’s strength is the love that is already within. Look within and you will never be without…

People who live under the guise of self fall victim to that self; this blocks the awareness of the love that is already within. One cannot sustain themselves with outer attachments forever, eventually they will fall victim to themselves and will cause their own demise. When one goes inward they find love, and as this love is processed it manifest outward. It’s the return of the love from others that allows for one’s own love to sustain itself.

Love is always self sustaining, it’s the Conditioned Mind that blocks this from occurring because of holding on to the concept of form; the I Self. The evil of this world are those who have put the distractions in place that block this from being known. The separation they created is mind made; the mind is the only place it exists. We are all from the same energy of creation so there’s no true separation. Evil only survives through the outer world and needs a constant state of chaos to survive. Love survives on its own and needs nothing to expand; it is self sustaining. Go inward to discover your light and it will be a beacon for others to discover their own light. As more of us do this, the present evil of this world will continue to wane as it causes its own demise…

Heaven Within

Look down at your feet, regardless of where they’re planted is heaven. If it isn’t it’s because the need to reach for it is in place and blocking you from seeing heaven within…

When all of a sudden you’re not in heaven, what is it that takes you from it? There are religions that tell you where to find it, but truth is if you’re not in heaven it’s because you left. For years I was constantly searching for heaven and except for brief moments (mostly drug induced), it always eluded me. Why this happened was because heaven was always contingent on something that was outside of myself, and it was always based on what I thought I needed to provide comfort. There’s no need to list what heaven was because there were so many things; the things reached for are numerous. False heaven comes in many forms, unless you truly take a step back to see this, the reaching for it will always be there, and seeing it will never happen.

The lies of the Conditioned Mind will dictate what you will reach for as your heaven. Until the conditioning to reach is changed, heaven will continue to be sought and never be seen. The only way this will change is by going inward to discover why there’s a need to reach outside yourself; once this is revealed therein lies heaven. Heaven isn’t from the thought realm, it comes from the still small voice within. It tells you it doesn’t matter where you are or what’s happening, all you have to do is look down at your feet and regardless of where they’re planted is heaven. If you need something else, it’s because the need to reach is still in place and is blocking you from seeing heaven is already in place…

The Only Thing There

As one becomes more and more anchored in the present moment, the created stories are needed less and less. Without a story, there’s a peace the mind settles into because it’s the only thing there…

There is surely nothing other that the single purpose of the present moment. One’s whole life is a successions of one signal moment. If this is fully understood, there will be nothing else to do and nothing else to pursue. Unfortunately this isn’t the way it is for most, so the past and future are constantly drawn on to satisfy the mind agitation of not being in the present moment. Many different stories are used as an alternative to this way; it’s not my place to label them as anything. I’ve found something that works for me and that’s what I share. It’s funny because it’s not a concern of mine if one agrees with what I share or not. I understand we all see things as they’re revealed to us, but people feel the need to tell me how their way is better. There is no right way, there’s living in a way that is truly beneficial to oneself which is living in a way that benefits all beings.

About all that I know is this, at one time my Conditioned Mind controlled me as if I was a puppet on a string. Because of this, I lived mostly a self serving existence and my life wasn’t much of a benefit to anyone. Some years ago this changed and the things that I did began to benefit others. I know I write a lot about the Conditioned Mind, but it’s what was revealed to me so it’s what I share; it’s the only thing I can share. As I become more and more anchored in the present moment, the created stories are needed less and less. Without the attachment to my story, there’s a peace the mind settles into because it’s the only thing there…

Narrow Minded View

It’s your own mind that keeps your view narrow minded. If at some point your mind doesn’t settle, the narrow minded view will remain intact and no new growth will be allowed…

If you only see through the view of your conditioning, a new view will never be allowed; this doesn’t allow the mind to go beyond its narrow minded view. It will take much investigation to see beyond the narrow minded view because the view itself is what keeps you from growing. If this isn’t understood it won’t be seen, and if it’s not seen, there’s no way to go beyond your narrow minded view. Faith, hope, and forgiveness are concepts that have been deeply embedded into the subconscious. You become conditioned by these concepts and until your own mind is understood, going beyond not only these narrow minded concepts, but any concept for that matter will be virtually impossible.

There is so much being held onto without really looking into if it’s truly beneficial. If you have a thought that is held, I guarantee you it’s not truly beneficial. You may wonder how I can say that since I don’t know you, but I don’t have to know you directly because I know me, and as long as I know me, I know you. I may not know what specific conditioning has you in its grip, but it doesn’t matter because the nature of all conditioning is the same and that’s what needs to be understood.

You can only respond to what’s in front of you with the narrow minded conditioning that’s in place. If you want to go beyond it, take a look and see if it unites or separates. Unity puts you in harmony with everything. Separation puts you in conflict with everything. These are two vastly different views, one binds and one frees. Although it may seem obvious which one does what, it will truly have to be investigated if you are to see how exactly each of these manifest in your life. Life is always what’s in front of you, and although things may not always be as they’re wanted, until the narrow minded view is let go of, new growth will not be allowed…

Conditioned Distortions

Because the past is held onto as if it’s needed, it creates an identify formed mostly of distortions from the past. These distortions only show where you have been, they don’t have to dictate where you are going…

Conditioned distortions show a view where you have been, they don’t show where you’re going. Everyone has a past and there’s plenty of things that have happened that leave distorted energy patterns, but when you awaken for that millisecond, it’s a breakthrough of a lifetime; in that millisecond your entire distorted existence becomes different. This is why it’s so important to understand the conditioning that’s taken place over the years because without this, understanding it will be impossible to change the conditioning that’s distorted. The only way life will ever change is when the conditioning that’s been distorted changes.

The most misunderstood thing about the process of life is how the distortions of the past dictate the future. It doesn’t have to be this way, but until you stop listening to your Conditioned Mind this won’t change. This doesn’t mean the distortions are to be ignored, on the contrary they need to be faced so they can be identified for what they truly are; distorted energy patterns from the past that are being held onto. They only exist and they’re only in control because of this. The Conditioned Mind is so subtle that it prevents you from seeing there’s only a distorted past because your mind attaches to it…

A Useful Direction

Providing a direction so others can find their way is important, but when the direction is used to only provide one specific path, it loses its usefulness…

There’s no such thing as only one direction to wake up from the sleep of unconsciousness. It’s just about impossible to see exactly what another person experiences because no one goes in the same exact direction in the waking up process. It’s quite amusing the way some people project their waking up direction as being the only way. This is not to say this isn’t the direction for that person, but that’s their experience, and it’s very unlikely that two people let alone many go in the same direction to wake up. I know for me I just try to direct people inward so they can come to their own conclusion in finding their way to peace. I seriously doubt that anyone went through exactly what I did to get to the place I’m in now, so why would I expect anyone to see my direction as I do.

One FB site always talks about there not being a self as if this is the only direction one can experience peace. Many others use religion as a direction. I’ve found there are as many directions to peace as there are people traveling, and none of them are wrong. I don’t really concern myself in the direction one is headed as it’s not my place to judge. Although I understand the Conditioned Mind, I find it amusing when someone adamantly goes against someone else’s direction. To me the bottom line is to use a direction that shows love and respect to everyone. The only reason someone shares anything is because they’re going in the direction that’s in place. It’s not up to me to judge it, but it is up to me to watch my own direction, and make sure it’s loving so others may see it as useful…

Clinging Lie

Clinging to anything is a prison, but the thing being clung to is only the sentence, the prison is the lie the Conditioned Mind creates that tells you clinging is needed to make life different…

The reality of life is impermanence and because of this when there is clinging, there has to be suffering. The suffering is directly related to what one clings to and how tight the clinging 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 cling to things. You can still enjoy all that life has to offer, but if true liberation is to be experienced, clinging will have to fall away. I say fall away because many cling to not clinging, 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 conditioned mind clinging that’s in control. Few have this willingness because the conditioning in place doesn’t allow it, hence the need to cling to things constantly rears its ugly head thus causing suffering.

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

Moment of Silence

A moment of silence is all that’s needed for the Universe to connect with the love of your heart. Silence is how the energy of love will make you and the entire world different…

If it was possible to have a moment of silence before every response, the world would be so different. Sit with this silence and envision it. Conditioned responses lead to most of the problems with people and with life itself. Life and people do their thing and most people respond instantly. The responses can be much more conducive to harmony if there’s a moment of silence between the responses and the reactions. It may not always be this way, and it isn’t this way all the time, but it’s becoming more and more the way many people react because of the silence when something happens; not always, but more often than before.

Silence happens because of the discipline developed by sitting. What this does is it stops the Conditioned Mind Patterns from its automatic responses based in the self-serving mind; silence allows for the possibility of those patterns to be broken. When this occurs it opens the heart to the truth that sets you free. Self-serving reactions will not fall away on their own, it will take much sitting to develop the necessary discipline for a moment of silence to occur. All it takes is silence for not only your existence to become different, but also the entire world. When responses to life are from silence, they arise from the energy of love and slowly but surely the world responds with love. This has to occur, it’s the law of love, and all it takes is a moment of silence…

No Easy Solution

Hold on to all your beliefs. March, protest, whine, judge and slander in the name of righteousness, just know this energy is unloving and there are no easy solutions in the waking up process…

There’s no easy solution in waking up from the sleep of unconsciousness. You cannot think your way to consciousness, but for some reason you can think your way to misery; all one needs to do is look around and see this truth. It will take what it takes for ever how long that is to wake up. For many that may be a lifetime as there’s no easy solution to this process. My experience of the shift of my view that took place was and is a happening not a doing. It’s the transformation of energy from an “I” view to one of quietness. I may do certain things now that puts me in alignment with this quietness energy, but the transformation remains a happening not a doing. To me this goes for Buddha, Jesus, and anyone else who has ever awakened, it’s something that’s bestowed upon a person, it’s not something that is chosen.

Many get stuck because an awakening is thought to be a doing, and because of this most people remain stuck in “I” which is form. Until it’s understood “form is emptiness, emptiness is form, “l” remains in control as it keeps trying to do. This is not what I think, this is what’s going on right now in my life and has been for the last fifteen years; there was total unconsciousness of this for forty nine years. Hold on to all your beliefs, do what you think needs to be done. Judge in the name of righteousness, just know this energy is unloving and there are no easy solutions in the waking up process…

Mind Discomfort

Although the pleasures of the world take on many forms, it’s the discomfort of the mind that makes one seek them. This discomfort can only be satisfied in stillness because when the mind is still there is no discomfort…

One aspect of the Conditioned Mind is how it’s in a state of discomfort most of the time. The discomforted mind likes to keep all the pleasure thoughts and discard the unpleasant ones; it spends most of its time doing this. Whether it’s weaving in and out of traffic, only to catch a red light and have all the cars you passed pull up to the same light, or doing something and asking yourself why you did it. The reason for doing this is to strictly satisfy your discomforted mind. That your own mind questions why you do what you do is how diabolical it is. But understand it’s only this way because of the way the mind has been conditioned to be in a constant state of discomfort.

The discomforted mind in seeking mode is not one which is in our best interest, but the Conditioned Mind doesn’t really care about that; control is all it cares about. It makes you think seeking pleasure is a necessity, but when the mind starts to settle and it loses its grip on you, you will see the fallacy of this. True pleasure is in stillness not in things; the pleasure of stillness is not the same pleasure that the world offers. The pleasure of the world is based in lies, the pleasure of stillness is based in truth. It’s only in stillness that the discomfort of the mind will subside. Not because it gets what it wants, but because in stillness the discomfort never materializes so there’s satisfaction that’s needed…

Delusional Base

A delusional base can’t be fixed with the same delusions. Truth doesn’t have to be known to change this, but the delusions will have to be known if they’re to cease being in control…

It’s difficult to explain truth because there’s so many different delusions in place. Instead of trying to explain what truth is, simply explore the delusions. Delusions don’t have real facts as their base. Perceptions aren’t factual, they are usually made up by the perceiver to suit some sort of delusion. People ask me if I believe in God, I answer that I believe in what is factual which is based in what I’ve experienced. That’s why I share only what has been experienced. I don’t see the benefit of making up a delusional story about something to suit a mind made need. It’s a fact that love is more beneficial than hate, patience more beneficial than impatience, kindness is better than being mean. I learned how to live a factual not delusional life, so it’s of maximum benefit to myself and to all beings to understand the delusions.

One of the biggest delusions in place is things will satisfy you, this is reinforced everyday. It’s a delusion which is at the core of our entire misaligned society. It creates all our issues of our society. Religions all claim to have the truth, no facts, just their truth. Politicians try to fix problems based in corruption with the same corrupt solutions. The entire entertainment and sports industry are delusional based, and create the impression of the haves and have nots; this creates separation in our society not unity. There’s also the delusion of social and career status. Delusion after delusion; a society base in delusions becomes a delusional society. Not because we want to, and not because we can’t know the truth, but simply because the delusional base in place isn’t understood…

Space of Assurance

There’s existence through made up stories or there’s the bigger picture beyond the stories where one is free of the stories because there’s space that radiates assurance…

When the mind is settled the space of assurance opens up instead of reliance on your own limited stories. There’s a deep assurance that radiates when the mine is settled and it’s in this settling that you see the existence of life itself. So when one is in the space of a settled mind the everlasting assurance of the Universe is there to quiet the mind agitations which are the cause of all your stories.

A mind that’s settled allows for the space to live from an assurance heart of love. This connects you with the goodness of all of life, your own internal goodness, and the goodness of all beings. The connection is already within, but it’s not known what it will take to be aware of it. The only reason there isn’t awareness of the space of assurance is because there are conditioned mind agitations blocking the assurance that arises from the space of our heart; theses blocks allow for all kinds of made up nonsense (stories).

When it’s learned to develop discipline so the mind settles, our agitations slowly subside; what naturally remains is the space of assurance in the Universe. This assurance is in the space beyond the noise of a Conditioned Mind, beyond your made up stories. In this space there’s assurance because with a settled mind it’s known who you truly are. So have assurance in the Universe with all your heart and allow the mind to settle so you’re not relying on your own made up stories. In the space of assurance life is lived in the most beneficial of ways; as the assured beautiful being of love that you truly are…

Happy Today

It may be the start of a new year, but it isn’t time for a resolution or big expectations because that’s just a method the Conditioned Mind uses to set itself up to fail. Today is always a new day…

Don’t say last year was a tough one unless you want to carry that burden around with you. That’s up to you, but it will not change anything. Life can only be lived right now. It doesn’t mean there can’t be plans, but the actions can only be applied now regardless of what the future holds or what happened in the past.

Life is one continuous journey, The mind has been conditioned to believe somewhere other then here is a better place, but here is where life occurs no matter what you’re doing or what resolution is made. As you wait for the results of your resolution to make your life complete, it’s passing you by. Life will never be any more complete than it is right now. This is something that needs to be realized if you’re to truly live your life and not wait for it to be perfect (perfect only in your mind). So enjoy the life that’s happening right now instead of thinking it needs to be in some other way. Happy New Today and please, Live the life that’s in front of you because it’s the only life you’ll ever have…
