Repetitive Reactions

Most reactions that occur in life are repetitive and are put in place by your own conditioning. If your life isn’t being lived to its fullest potential it’s your own repetitive reactions that are blocking it from being so…


Although things appear to be a certain way it’s not always as it seems. It’s difficult to see beyond your own mind when repetitive reactions are brought into play. So much of what the mind holds onto is repetitive and is put in storage to be used at particular times; this is how most lives are lived. It’s as though we already have in place the way things are going to be handled; most reactions are formed in this way.


Advertisement is a billion dollar industry that keeps you in bondage. Politicians have people write speeches using certain words which they know are going to sway people in certain ways. Supermarkets know exactly where to place products. It’s all based on putting things in a certain place so repetitive reactive energy is triggered.


This goes on constantly because the Conditioned Mind loves repetition. If you had no previous conditioning none of the above methods would work, but this is not the case. One of the keys to not being controlled by repetitive reactions is to a develop some way to anchor yourself in the present moment as much as you can. The more you’re in the present moment, the more you’re with what life actually offers. When this occurs there’s peace because the repetitive reactions of the Conditioned Mind are no longer making it appear that things are different than what they are…

The Loneliness Vortex

When the mind settles creating a story that requires reaching for something lessens. In the process the loneliness vortex disappears and it’s simply because an “I” story of needing to fill it isn’t created…


The loneliness vortex only seems to get wider as one ages, it doesn’t really, what happens is there are just less distractions so “I” takes more of a hold. The natural process of life seems to be to stay busy trying to constantly figure things out and regardless of what exactly the figuring out is, it certainly creates many distractions. There are periods in between being busy where a person has some idle time and probably feels the loneliness vortex, but this idle time doesn’t usually last very long because the next distraction returns. A being busy mindset last most of your life, but there does come a time that the natural process of being busy lessens. At this stage many people experience a loneliness vortex that hasn’t been noticed before. It will either be addressed by looking inward or you will get busy again becoming distracted trying to figure out how to fill the loneliness.


Eventually being busy will end for whatever reason, and unfortunately for most people without being busy the loneliness vortex is in control. Many elderly people struggle with this because there just isn’t a lot happening. Kids are grown, retirement, house paid off, more time behind you than what’s ahead, yada, yada, yada, and the list goes on. I was busy for forty nine years using distraction after distraction filling the loneliness vortex. There were very brief periods of not having this loneliness, but these periods were far and few in between. That is until eleven years ago when all that was there was the loneliness vortex; I began to sit and simply look inward. This allowed me to see the distractions of my “I” needing to attach to the loneliness vortex story. As I sat my mind settled and thus the loneliness lessened. In the process the loneliness vortex actually disappeared and it was simply because the “I” story of being lonely wasn’t being created…

Knowing Your Lies

The more you know yourself the more chance there will be to know truth and break the chains of bondage to your lies. Without truth distractions will be used to keep your lies in place…

There are many truth seekers that know their answers are within their own heart, they don’t need a cheering committee from the outside to tell them this. All truth is within, inner truth cannot come from some outside inspirational source. The difference between being free and needing to keep your distractions in place is knowing your inner self as opposed to using inspiration from some outside source that’s only a distraction.

There’s so much nonsense that goes on in between our ears and it’s a lack of inner truth that causes it. This won’t be understood if you’re looking outside for your answers. Inner truth is not the truth of solving Universal secrets, it’s the truth of simply knowing what you do and why. I don’t share to inspire others, I share to simply convey a message of truth to people through my writings, which are a tool to point to your own heart, this is what leads to truth and freedom. It’s in the place of your own inner essence that you will be set free. This is the message that is conveyed to others, this is the next step in the evolution of humankind.

Someone suggested that I be like Mooji, but I can only see what has been awakened in me. I’m not trying to be like anyone but what I Am. If it’s truth that’s seen then that’s what’s written. I share from my heart, it’s what has been awakened in me. If you don’t understand your own heart you most definitely won’t understand what I share. I don’t really care how inspiring something is from the outside, it will not break the chains of “I” if it doesn’t arise from within. When you go inward and find quietness from your own heart, you’ll discover truth. This will allow you to understand what’s truly needed to be set free and stop needing to keep the distractions in place that keep your lies in place; in whatever form these lies manifest…

Cooperating Energy

Although everything is consciousness, when your energy is misaligned because of “I” infused desires, it puts you not only in conflict with yourself, but it also takes you out of cooperation with the entire Universe…




We begin our existence in this form in total cooperation with Universal energy. In the beginning stages we are basically in total cooperation with it; there isn’t really much to prevent this. We live mostly to fulfill our instinctual needs, not much thought going on. As we get older we start the process of becoming conditioned by whatever influences we are exposed to. In other words we start to form our story and this story is what takes us out of cooperation with Universal energy. This is why there are many references in the bible to become like little children, because as a child without the Conditioned Mind being deeply engrained, your energy remains in cooperation with the Universe.




Nowhere is it written that when you make a story to become something you remain in cooperation with the Universe. Matter of fact anything that is put before your cooperation changes your energy so it becomes misguided. This is how the Law of Attraction works, the change in energy puts you at a lower vibration and this is what you attract. Success is only a measurement of the standards that society endorses, not the Universe. There can be much success by worldly standards, but it doesn’t mean you’re a success by the standards of love. True success is determined by your energy being in cooperation with the Universe.




“Become like little children” not become a doctor, lawyer, a professional athlete, a writer or anything else, but if you have the heart of a little child you can become anything that you please because you will be cooperating with the Universe. This cooperation is your oneness and it’s what makes you complete regardless of anything else that you do. You will attract the things of the energy you live by and although you may fool some people by being successful according to worldly standards, the Universe will not nor can not be fooled as you only receive what your energy is in cooperation with…

Nothing to Forgive-Ever

If you truly knew how to love, wounds that you thought needed healing would never be produced and although you will do what you are conditioned to do, when this is seen there’s no need to make up a forgiveness story-ever…


The topic of forgiveness always makes for interesting discussions. To me the biggest issue with this word is people think its needed and that’s where the problem lies. If you understood your own mind, you would understand forgiveness is a made up story. It isn’t real, it’s created by your Conditioned Mind to hold you in captivity to the “I” wounds of the past; wounds that are held onto which are only there because they’re created by the lack of self love. This is what “I” does and because of this there’s attachment to the “I” wounds which doesn’t allow you to go beyond what occurred in the past. It all stems from thinking the past should be different which is impossible, if you didn’t think this there wouldn’t be a story to forgive. Everyone does what they’re conditioned to do, if this truth was seen there would never be a need for forgiveness-ever. If this isn’t true then why do you do what you don’t want to do and don’t do what’s more beneficial to you? So do what you do and if you don’t like what you do, learn to stop doing it so you can do something beneficial; nothing to forgive-ever.


If you understand the Conditioned Mind and you are aware of its controlling aspect, you will see there is no need for forgiveness because you and others behave the way your own mind tells you how to behave. So I ask where is the need to forgive if you are only doing what you have been conditioned to do? Understand this, it’s your own mind that tells you what to do, and the same mind makes up the story that what it told you to do now needs you to forgive. Is the need for forgiveness real or is it just a story? If you truly loved yourself your “I” wounds would have never been produced so there wouldn’t be a need for healing because you would already be healed and because now you understand that all you or anyone else could do was what the conditioning in place dictated you to do there’s nothing to forgive-ever…

Mindfully Aware

Whenever you are mindful of what is instead of just being aware of something, it changes the dynamics of the situation. Mindfulness is the deeper aspect of life. It allows for a connection that awareness doesn’t…


You may think awareness and mindfulness are similar, but they are very different especially when they’re used in describing the space of what is. Awareness is the recognition that something is occurring, you can be aware that you a feeling a certain way, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re being mindful of the feeling itself. Being aware you’re angry isn’t the same as being mindful anger has arisen. When you’re with the anger it is then that you become mindful of it. Awareness of going to the doctor to get a check up because you’re not feeling well can open the door to so many fears, but being mindful that you are not feeling well and simply making an appointment for a check up quiets the fears or story you are making up. Awareness is recognizing what’s occurring, mindfulness is being with it and understanding it’s just there.


When you’re aware of something mostly it’s in association with the identity of I or self. When you’re mindful of something there’s a separation from the identity to the I or self. Mindfulness itself is a wholesome quality because it connects you with what truly is. People are aware of all sorts of things, but it doesn’t make it a wholesome quality because it’s based in “I”.


Most people get stuck in staying in the awareness of the situation by not going beyond it to the state of mindfulness. Whenever you are mindful instead of just being aware of something, it changes the dynamics of the situation. Mindfulness is the deeper aspect of life. It allows for a connection that awareness doesn’t. This is a large part of the problem within our society, people are aware of certain behaviors that are based in satisfying “I” but they don’t go deeper to find out why this is and how to change it. In this you stay locked in the self-serving behavior, aware it’s occurring, but not mindful it’s occurring. When you become mindful of the behavior, you’ll see how it affects so many more people than just yourself and you’ll want to act in the appropriate manner of love. It is very difficult to be mindful and still behave in a self-serving manner so when it’s learned to be mindful of life as it is, you’ll be mindful of truly living…

Willingness Possibilities

There are so many possibilities in life when there’s no label applied to what’s happening in front of you. The Universe provides these possibilities when there’s a willingness that allows harmony with life by not labeling what arises…


Willingness is a beneficial asset because without it nothing arises or at least nothing that’s beneficial. Willingness leads to possibilities never experienced before, but when the mind is in control the gateway to these possibilities are closed. Whatever arises in life can be seen as it is with a willingness only if a label isn’t applied. In this way each moment can be experienced as the Universe opens up more and more possibilities. Even if some conditioned behavior arises, without the judgment of an applied label, it allows you to remain willing with the possibility to go beyond the label to experience something fresh and new.


Newness doesn’t always have to be a deep and profound moment, it can be the simple act of not labeling what’s in front of you and just experiencing that and moving on. Once something is labeled the willingness to remain open ceases and so do all the possibilities along with it. To experience all the possibilities that life has to offer is to not allow a label to be a part of what is being done right now. If it is labeled obviously it remains as something old not something new because it’s from a habitual mind pattern that’s in place; it’s old because an old label is being applied. Without applying a label the willingness to remain open and the possibilities that are provided by the Universe are beyond anything an old limited labeled mindset can conjure up…

Constant Problem Soliving

Through the way we become conditioned, we see life as if there are constant problems to solve because we need life to be a certain way, and because of this we are constantly creating problems to solve…

The issue with having to constantly solve problems to have life a certain way is it’s not real, even if life is exactly how you want it, the mind begins creating a new problem almost immediately. Life is continuous, it’s broken up by time by a mind that’s in a constant state of agitation. If this wasn’t true, you would see life as complete and it wouldn’t constantly need to create a problem so you have something to do. You don’t see this because the mind has been conditioned to problem solve instead of be okay with what is so your mind is only doing what it’s been conditioned to do. How can it not?

The Conditioned Mind creates problems all the time. From traffic to changing a light bulb, all this manipulating is strictly done so the mind has something to do; it tells you that solving your created problems will make life perfect. Let’s say everyday has eight problem that need solving, that would mean I solved roughly 175,000 problems in my life, all for one reason and that’s to constantly have life the way I think it should be. Nobody purposely creates problem just to have something to do, but if you didn’t constantly create problems the only thing that would really change is you wouldn’t have to constantly solve the problems that you alone create…

Blind Wanting

The Conditioned Mind creates a view based in the blind wanting of the world. It’s difficult to break this because most of what goes on in our daily lives blindly reinforces this. An awakened view is simply aware of awareness…

I understand life’s struggles have nothing to do with life, it’s an blind view based in the world of wanting that cause struggles, and this is because this view is controlled by a blind mind. When blind wanting is fulfilled and things are seemingly as you want them there’s not much of a struggle with life; life is considered good. When things are going the way that you want what causes your struggles are masked over and blindly pushed aside. When this is done it makes the base of your life blindly centered in the world of wanting and you’ll get pulled around by this like a dog on a leash.

The more this blind wanting is adhered to the more suffering there will be in your life. Sometimes it’s very subtle, but it’s there. Even if you’re not aware of being controlled by your blind wanting, it still produces suffering. The suffering doesn’t occur because you don’t get your way, it occurs by being in a state where the blind wanting is in control.

The less the world of blind wanting (I want, what I want, when I want it) is the base of your view, the less you struggle with yourself and with life; this is simply because blind wanting isn’t in control. When you’re unaware of this drama and chaos are created; there’s immense suffering in this unawareness. Practice being in a łspace of no wanting, with no wanting there’s no blindness. When you don’t have blind wanting you don’t reach and when you don’t reach, you don’t create problems that cause suffering; a free mind is free because there’s no blind wanting…

Follow Your Heart

If you truly want to follow your heart look no further then this moment. Unless the mind settles and there’s awareness of this, following your heart will never be realized because you will be caught in the delusion of a thought that’s not real…


I know many in society attach to following what they think ( I think therefore I am) but if this is looked at closely you just may see how this holds you in captivity to a mind that makes things up instead of following your heart. When you’re following the urge of a so called thought, the reality of the heart just passes you by. This doesn’t mean you can’t have your thoughts and go after them, just realize a thought is nothing more than a delusion. Even if everything is exactly how you think it should be and it becomes your reality, thinking this will make you happy is where the delusion arises from. This falls in line with the thought that the grass is greener on the other side, but that’s just another delusion.


How many people pick their spouse, their job, the house they live in, having children, or whatever else you thought you wanted, only to turn around and complain about it. Your choices are made because you think they’re what you need and yet when they become a reality it’s not long before you realize they’re not as fulfilling as you thought they would be, or you’re okay with certain aspects of your life, but you always find something else to complain about. If you truly want to follow your heart look no further then this moment and realize good, bad, or indifferent you are not your thoughts. Unless the mind settles and you become aware of this, your life will never truly be lived because you will be caught up in the thought of what you think you need instead of simply following your heart…

Heart Energy

The energy that unites humanity is heart energy. When you’re in this space others are attracted to it as it’s the one place where there’s unity simply because the heart’s energy is of love…


It’s extremely important to connect with the energy of the heart so you can be an example and show others there’s a place they can turn to. I know many people read the articles I write and they’re expected to be there, I don’t mind this because what is shared is from my heart and I know they will provide unity. Everyone needs a place of unity that provides a cushion from the unconscious world. It does matter where you go for this, if you go to a blind place it may feel like unity, but it’s not. If you’re blinded by unconsciousness the day will still go by because that’s the way life is, but if you’re spending the same day in the energy of the heart, you will experience unity with others and thus love.


Don’t be concerned with what others say, just connect with the energy of the heart; let nothing take you from that. Being connected to heart energy in a world that’s mostly based in “I” (the mind) will allow others to also connect to the heart which is where a true transformation occurs. The heart energy that unites you to someone is the energy that becomes a part of humanity. Life is an open experience and if you’re not learning from it, you’re most likely living from the mind. When you truly see these mind made stories aren’t needed, they disappear. This disappearance allows unity and when you’re in this space of heart energy, others will also be attracted to it as it’s the one place where there’s unity of all humanity and it’s simply because of love…

Non Beneficial Conditioning

The only way to change your non beneficial conditioning is to develop awareness that it’s not beneficial. This is where quietness comes in because without it you won’t notice what’s beneficial and what’s not…



Watching television is not my favorite way to past time, but the other night I watched a movie. When it was over I began looking for something else to watch. Twenty seconds on one channel, ten seconds on another, five on another, than another and another, you get the picture. It’s amazing how we stay fixated on something in this case the TV, when it comes to our conditioning. We’re so resistant to change the conditioning even though it doesn’t really benefit us. Actually what’s on the TV (the fixation) is mostly reruns, yet we’ll watch the same channel (our thoughts) over an over. Even though there are many channels (thoughts) we get stuck on the TV and don’t know how to change this.



Think of something you get fixated on and see how hard it is to see if it’s truly beneficial. Unless there’s total awareness of this, changing this conditioning will be just about impossible. The only way to change your non beneficial conditioning is to have something in place that will allow you to see that it’s not beneficial. This is where quietness comes in because without it there won’t be awareness of this. You may have repeated thoughts disguised with many different labels, but it’s still a non beneficial thought. Watch the subtleness of this and in time you’ll see the mind for what it is and how non beneficial thoughts really are. The issue is you can get so comfortable with this that it’s not realized the conditioning is not beneficial and needs changing; this realization will only occur if you have something in place that’s seen as non beneficial…

Past Entanglements

If you keep allowing the past to control the present the past will keep you entangled in those thoughts. This is unfortunate because all of the emotional pain of the past will also entangle the present…

The amount of times you relive something that entangles you to emotional pain is mind boggling because it’s your own mind that does this; it probably happens thousands of times throughout your life. This is why most people suffer because what happened in the past is constantly allowed to entangle the present and although the body is always in the present moment, the mind is entangled in the thoughts of somewhere else. This is the constant state most people live their life from and if nothing is done to change this, it will continue until existence in this form ends. This isn’t a philosophy or theory nor is it something I made up, you need only look at this for yourself to see this truth, but if you don’t you will most likely remain entangled in the past without a way out.

Many seem to be entangled in so much nonsense and it’s because looking at ourselves in an investigative way is not something that many people are willing to do. It’s so much easier to point the finger at someone else, but unfortunately when you point at someone there are three fingers pointing back at you; check this to see its truth. You can ignore this and remain entangled in the story that everything will work out on its own or you can take control of your life to some extent and stop attaching to the thoughts that cause you to be entangled to the past. After all it’s the same thoughts that constantly arise and if they’re not attached to eventually you’ll stop being entangled in them and the repeated emotional suffering they cause will also fall away…

Mental Formations

Wisdom arises when one is fully mindful because the distractions of the unwholesome mental formations fall away. It’s in being fully aware of this that the mind settles and allows you to live without obstructions…

There are mental formations of the mind that arise in each moment, they are wholesome, unwholesome, and neutral. The first is the unwholesome mental formation, this would be anything that leads to suffering. Wholesome mental formations are those that lead to peace and joy. The wholesome ones don’t need a belief to be so, they just need to be investigated to see the truth of their wholesomeness. The third mental formation is probably the most difficult one because it’s based in non judgement. It’s neither wholesome nor unwholesome, it’s neutral. It arises for everyone in the present moment and its function is to just see what is. This mental formation doesn’t interpret what arises, nor does it attach to it. Think of seeing a stranger on a platform at a train station, without judging there’s simply no attachment and neutral remains the mental formation of the moment. Once there’s judgement, the mental formation of the moment changes.

Unwholesome mental formations arise and are attached to and although there is mindfulness of this to a degree because it is happening, it’s labeled and thus attached to for the most part unconsciously. It’s the focus of these mental formations that determine their outcome. Being fully mindful allows you to see, but without needing a label. Being neutral allows you to recognize (perceive) but not necessarily be fully mindful. Wisdom arises when you’re fully mindful because the distractions of the unwholesome mental formations fall away. It’s in being fully aware of this that the mind settles and allows you to live without obstructions. Wisdom isn’t something learned, it simply arises when you are disciplined enough to remain fully mindful in the present moment more often than not…

Self Centered Energy

Reactions will arise, but they don’t have to control you. If there isn’t awareness of this, your reactions will selfishly be attached to which will allow self centered energy to be at the controls of your behavior…


If there isn’t awareness of your own selfish behavior, there won’t be anyway of knowing just how self centered you are and how much the self centered energy is in control. Without this awareness you’ll be selfishly taken on a self-centered ride. Life doesn’t do anything directly to anyone, but reactions arise and they determine what kind of behavior you’ll exhibit. Awareness of your arisen reactions is essential if you’re not to be controlled by them. Reactions are a natural part of life they will arise, to me there’s no way of controlling the reactions that arise, but I have found that awareness of them allows for a split second between thoughts that determines whether or not your behavior is self centered or not; remember it’s the attachment to “I” that causes suffering not your reactions.


The Conditioned Mind is diabolical and unless there’s some awareness of how controlling it is, your behavior will be based in selfishness; this has to happen, there’s really no way around it. So subtle is this that even if you are doing things that are labeled as loving, if there’s no awareness of your self centered behavior you’re being controlled; control is control regardless of what label is applied to it. This is why the Conditioned Mind is diabolical because of the subtleness in the way it uses whatever it can to remain in control. Reactions will arise, but they don’t have to selfishly control your behavior. If there isn’t awareness of this, your reactions and behavior will selfishly be attached to which will allow self centered energy to be in control…
