Clear/Muddy Mind

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

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

A clear view doesn’t make you smarter than anyone, all it means is you’ve been granted the vision to see clearly. A clear view is difficult to see from because of all the muddy distractions in place. These distractions keep you trapped to the reaching of a view from the mind. Reach, reach, reach, a clear view needs no such reaching, it realizes its completeness as it is. When your view is clear you become more of an observer than a reactor, at least that’s been my experience. I had a muddy view 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 clear view to arise. When you live from here it makes for a view of life much different than those stuck in the mud…
