A Labeled View

Most people will label life as good as long as everything is going their way. There can always be peace regardless of the circumstances, but only if it’s seen how all things are impermanent, including life itself…


On life being labeled good or not, if you’re thinking it isn’t it won’t be, and even if you label it as so, it will still not be good if that’s not what you truly believe; I equate this to whistling in the dark to keep fear away . As long as you’re whistling the distraction will keep the fear in check, but the moment you stop it will return. The key is to identify why you think life isn’t good and be with it as it is. People say be positive, but being positive to me is still whistling to distract from fear. Some unpleasant things do happen in life and if it’s just masked over and ignored, it becomes ingrained as an energy pattern in the subconscious that never goes away; this is how life gets labeled. Life itself is always good, it’s people who are conditioned to make it something else, this is the lie of the Conditioned Mind.


Life will be good when it’s seen in the light of how all things are impermanent including life itself. Believe me I get it, being ill, losing a loved one, living in poverty, and many others things that occur in life are labeled as bad, but what makes one think it’s bad is the attachment to it. Labeling it as bad doesn’t change what’s occurring, it only changes the label used as life being good or bad. When the true essence of life (impermanence) is understood, it puts life at the top of the good scale regardless of what’s going on because it’s seen that one day life in this form simply will not be…

Heart Possibilities

There are so many possibilities in life when there’s no past labels applied to what’s occurring Now. The Universe provides these possibilities when there’s harmony with it by not living in the past…


Heart living is your greatest asset because without the heart nothing real arises or at least nothing that’s beneficial. The heart leads to possibilities never experienced before, but when the heart is closed and the mind is in control the doors to those possibilities are closed as well. Whatever arises in life can be seen as it is only if it’s not labeled. In this way life can be experienced anew as the Universe allows more and more possibilities. Even if some past behavior arises, without the judgment of applying a label it allows living from the heart which allows the possibility to go beyond the past labels to experience something new.


Newness doesn’t always have to be a blissful moment, it can be the simple act of not judging what’s occurring Now and just experiencing that and moving on. Once something is labeled, the heart closes and so do all the possibilities along with it. To experience all the possibilities the heart offers is to not allow the past to be a part of now. If it is, obviously it remains as something old not something new, and even though it may be from a past habitual mind pattern that’s in place, it’s only old because it’s labeled as such. Without applying a label, the heart remains open and the possibilities that are provided by the Universe are beyond anything a limited mind can make up…

Inner Struggle

All struggles are within, they arise from your own inner questions. Without the practice of discipline, the inner answers won’t be seen so you will have to look externally which will allow your inner struggles to continue…


Nothing causes you to struggle unless it’s allowed. If something can be changed change it, but if it’s being changed because of an inner struggle, it needs to be looked at why there is a struggle to begin with. This is because even if the thing is changed, you will just move on to the next thing that will cause you to become agitated and you will struggle once again.


All inner struggles are “I” based because they come from the Conditioned Mind. If you don’t think this is true ask yourself why you are struggling with what is written here, they are just words. It doesn’t matter if they are agreed with or not, but if they cause an inner struggle, that comes from within you, not from the writer or anything else. How we love to point at other things, but the only reason this is done is because of the lack of understanding of your own mind.


Everything that I have come to understand over the last twelve years has arisen from within myself. It has been through the practice of discipline that real answers have arisen directly from my inner silence. I can’t have anyone else’s answers because the one who questions is the one who has their answers. I do not have your answers because I do not have your questions. So everyone has their own questions to answers. Truth is the same for all beings, but how we come to understanding it is from the silence within ourselves. When you sit in stillness, revealed are answers to your questions, this is when the inner struggle with yourself and with the world will be no more…

Investigating Yourself

You are the root of your struggles, they go deeper than what is seen, they’re rooted in the structure of how you think. If you don’t investigate yourself nothing will ever be different…

Changing our mental structure is like turning an ocean liner, the intention to turn happens right away, but the turn itself is very gradual. It’s as though we know we need to start turning right away, but we’re not sure why it doesn’t happen. Here’s a simple suggestion if you want to get in touch with breaking free of this ingrained mental structure, when you do something, investigate yourself. No reason to go back and look for a traumatic incident, investigate if what is being done right now is beneficial.

If the need to reach for something arises because life throws you a curve ball and you don’t investigate yourself, you’ll probably succumb to it by using some kind of distraction. By doing this you will never be free because you will never get in touch with why the reaching was needed in the first place. Investigating yourself is the most important thing you can do when there is something needed to reach for that’s not in your best interest. If you don’t, you will just substitute one thing for another and in the process remain trapped to what’s causing the need to reach. You may not like this post and you may even ignore it, but don’t be surprised when the next curve ball comes and you find yourself reaching for something, you just won’t know why you’re doing so because you don’t understand yourself…

Closed Mind View

There’s not much life in something that’s stagnant, and this is exactly what happens when one has a closed mind view; the free flowing energy is cut off and unfortunately this causes suffering…


A closed mind view is what causes a person to get locked into only seeing things from one side. It matters little what the view is, as it’s the strictness of being closed minded that doesn’t allow one’s energy to be free flowing. This is what happens when a story is created and it becomes the closed mind view of what life is about in any particular moment. The closed mind becomes very deeply ingrained as one becomes more and more emotionally tied into whatever it is that’s being held onto. It’s very difficult to not attach to something that’s made up by a closed mind that has a story of it being dear to your heart, such as your children, spouse, parents, relatives, friends and so on. You can have compassion, passion, and genuine love for something without attaching to it and being closed minded.


To me the closed mind view is the normal view of most people and it’s why there’s unnecessary suffering. I’ve noticed this occurring in so many lives and the suffering it causes. Unfortunately those in the midst of a closed mind view can’t see it, nor can they pull themselves out of it until it’s seen as the cause of suffering. The closed mind view doesn’t allow the openness needed to be free from attachment and since attachment is the root of suffering, suffering is inevitable. The tighter the grip, the more closed minded one becomes and the less free flowing energy there is in one’s life. There’s not much life in something that’s stagnant and this is exactly what happens when one’s free flowing energy is cut off as the the closed mind view controls life and inevitably causes your suffering…

At Peace With What Happens

Be at peace with what happens and a story won’t be generated. If you’re at peace your energy will be transferred away from whatever it is that’s wanted different and hence an attached story won’t be created…


The stories that are created you become, and they take you from the peace of what happens and cement the energy used to create them. All stories are generated from something that happened in the past. There’s the story of your ______ (fill in the blank). There’s the story of just wanting things different and regardless the story shapes your life because of attachment, not because of anything else. These attached stories are where emotions arise from, they’re where fear, discontent, and anger form and gain their power. This is what attachment does, it takes the power away from you and hands it over to your conditioning; without attachment how things affect you lessen.


Throughout the day if there’s not awareness to remain present, the story begins and your energy gets transferred to attachment. It doesn’t matter what the story is, that you have transferred your energy to an outside source is what matters. As spring approaches you may not be able to get rid of all the weeds in your garden, but if you learn to be at peace with them, they won’t be a problem. Basically what has to be done in order not to create stories is to be at peace with what happens, regardless of what it is. If you want things to be different, your energy will be transferred to whatever it is that’s wanted different; this attachment becomes the controlling energy of your life. Watch your stories, be at peace with what happens and even though you may have a garden full of weeds, if there isn’t attachment you will be at peace with them and it won’t matter all that much…

Mind/Feet Connection

When your mind is somewhere other than where your body is, most of your life will be missed. Until there’s a mind and feet connection, the fog of the Conditioned Mind will continue its control…

I was vacationing in Florida recently and when it was time to go home there was a reflection to keep my head where my feet were. To me this is a very important because the mind goes to places where only the mind can go. You can be sitting on a couch or taking a shower and your mind will be everywhere except where your feet are. The mind is constantly going to a place that only exist in your head and although it may be a stored memory, it isn’t what’s occurring right now so you aren’t truly living life. Yes there is the physical existence and everyone who is alive experiences this, but just physically existing without awareness means you have a wandering mind and are in the fog of your conditioning. Watch the wandering mind as it bounces from place to place except where your feet are.

The point of this is to show how you may always be physically where your feet are, but if you’re not aware of this your mind will most likely be somewhere else. This isn’t a good or bad thing, it just doesn’t allow you to live life as it happens. When your mind is somewhere other than where your body is, most of life is missed. The breath is used to stop the wandering mind because it anchors you in the body. When this occurs you’re physically and mentally in harmony with life as it’s happening. In this place of harmony (the mind and feet connection) you’ll be more aware of the gift of life; the fog of your conditioning will fall away and probably for one of the few times in your life you will truly be living…

Every Life is Special

There’s nothing really good or bad in life, there’s only the story of good and bad. If you don’t think this is true, watch the story attach to what you like (labeled as good) and what you don’t like (labeled as bad)…

Think about how special life truly is. If you don’t think so you have to ask yourself why not. We have become a society that thinks things are needed in order for life to be good, but it’s such a fallacy. If you are alive today that’s the only thing that needs to be looked at. You have been given the temporary gift of life and it will last for as long as it last and not one moment more. What is done with that life is determined by the way it is looked at. The stories that are made up about this manifestation called life are mostly full of nonsense that are usually someone else’s idea of what life is suppose to be like. We poison our bodies and mind with so much useless nonsense that comes from what others believe. All the stories created are used to make yourself feel better. Give to charities, hold events to help others, volunteer to help the so called less unfortunate without seeing this is only a story to make yourself feel better. The word love is thrown around without truly understanding it and this is because a mind made definition is attached. Life doesn’t need to be defined to be good, there’s no true good or bad, there’s only the story of good and bad. If you don’t think this is true, watch the story attached to what you like (good) and what you don’t (bad); possibly this article applies.

Everyone is special because of the way we come into being without having any say in this whatsoever. The world has been around for billions of years and now is a time that conditions are conducive for you to exist, that’s basically life as it is, feel free to add your story if that’s what you need. There’s no true need to attach a story to this, it’s just something that happened. To notice this is when existence will truly be seen as special, not for any other reason than this. The mind makes up so much nonsense and it blocks you from seeing the specialness of your existence. You can never do enough to understand this, as a matter of fact any doing blocks this from being seen. It’s one of the reasons the world is as it is because people think they have to do, but to see your existence as special you just have to be without adding a good or bad story…

Blindly Led

When you are blindly under the control of the Conditioned Mind you behave in ways not because it’s how you want to be, you behave in ways because it’s how you have to be…

It was a lack of understanding of my conditioning that led me to remain blind to it, and what I was blind to was my own mind that was conditioned to self serve. The issue with this type of conditioning is it causes one’s own destruction because the destructiveness is blindly disguised as pleasure; this pleasure is pursued by many to their death. It was blindly pursued by me in this way and I was at it’s mercy. It said to use drugs, alcohol, gambling, lying, cheating, stealing and so on. This is how the blindness of the Conditioned Mind is developed except for some who are fortunate enough to see this at a young age.

The way I was conditioned wasn’t the fault of anyone in particular, it happened indirectly by the inner and outer influences of my life which molded me to behave in the ways my conditioning developed and blindly led me. Not because this is how I wanted to be, but by not understanding this it was the way I had to be. You cannot behave in any other way except in the way you have been conditioned. Change the conditioning and change your entire existence or not and remain the same. The value of knowing my own mind is in the understanding there was no where else to turn; not to God, support groups, therapy, self help books, positive thinking, or anything else, but inward. What I learned is when the Conditioned Mind is understood, you are no longer blind. Its control slowly dissipates as you develop discipline, the mind actually slows down. Once this slowing occurs, the possibilities are endless because there is no longer distractions that keep you blind to the conditioning. With this solid understanding of what you’re truly up against, you are able to develop the discipline so your conditioned blinders fall away…

Delusional Lies

Delusions based in lies can’t be revealed with the same lies. It’s not that truth has to be known to change this, but the lies will have to be revealed if they are to cease their control…

It’s very difficult to explain truth because there’s so many different perceptions of it. Instead of trying to prove what truth is, let’s explore what a lie is. A lie is something that has no real facts to its base. Perceptions aren’t factual, they are usually made up by the perceiver to suit some sort of delusion. I’ve been asked if I believe in God, I always answer I know what I know which is based in the facts of what I’ve experienced, and that’s what I share, my experience. I don’t see the benefit of making up a story about something to suit a mind made need. I know love is more beneficial than hate, patience more beneficial than being impatient, kindness is better than being mean so I learn what the blocks are to living a factual life so it’s of maximum benefit to myself and to all beings; truth is known when the lies are understood.

The biggest lie in place is that things will satisfy you, and this is reinforced everyday. It’s a delusional lie at the core of our entire misaligned society; it creates all our issues as a society. Religious sects all claim to have the truth, no facts, just their truth. Politicians try to fix delusions based in lies with the same lies. The entire entertainment and sports industry are based in lies that create the false impression of the haves and have nots, which creates separation in our society. Lie after lie after lie, and what happens to a society when lies are its base, we become a society of liars. Not because we want to, and not because we can’t know the truth, but simple because we don’t understand the delusion of our lies…

Surface Process

Nothing that’s done just randomly occurs so if the surface process in place that determines this isn’t understood, you will blindly live a life controlled by what occurs through the surface process…

Understanding how the surface process controls you is what allows you to understand what’s truly going on in your life. It’s very difficult to decipher what’s real and what isn’t, but it’s not all that difficult to understand the surface process that makes you view life as you do. Mostly one is led around blindly without understanding why what is done is done, this is the reason most never break free from their Conditioned Mind as the surface energy patterns remain in place. If something has you in its grip, if you don’t understand the surface process in place that causes this, you will not have the tools or awareness to go deeper and break free from it. This process mostly fluctuates throughout your life and it’s the unawareness of what’s truly going on that makes you pursue things that aren’t beneficial to your own well being; as stated before this is strictly because the surface process in place isn’t allowing it.

None of your behavior is random, it manifest in the way that it does because it’s what’s in place, you can’t get apples from an pear tree. Certain Universal Laws are in effect throughout life and regardless if the behavior associated with them is wanted or not, it will arise depending on the surface process that’s in control. The surface process in place makes you see things from every place other than love, this is the cause of all your problems. This is exactly why the world is as it is because the surface process in place makes people act as they do. Until the surface process that makes it this way changes, you will continue to get what you get even though what you get may not provide the most benefits…

Expectations Energy

The expectations you have for something are the expectations you have for yourself. Without a settled mind this will not be seen so expectations will continue to be the controlling energy in place…


There will be many unpleasant things that occur in life, but they’re considered unpleasant only because that’s your expectation and this is where suffering arises from. This expectation process is at our core, without it the creation that there’s a you who doesn’t like what’s happening would never arise. Also without the pleasant attached expectation, you wouldn’t need for things to be different so there wouldn’t be a need to try to make things pleasant; after all expecting life to be pleasant is how life is mostly lived. Always wanting life pleasant is why so many are in a constant state of discontentment, it has nothing to do with what’s going on outside, it has everything to do what’s going on inside. Nothing can cause discontentment unless it’s allowed and it’s only allowed because it’s not known how not to have expectations.


Because of the conditioning in place most people will just go along with what society and the so called experts have to say. To much is taken as the norm without looking to see the truth and this is why there’s so much expectation. The expectation you have for something or someone is the projection you have for yourself. Without a settled mind this will not be seen so expectations energy will continue to be the controlling energy in place. Expectation breeds expectation, always and suffering leads to suffering, always. To me suffering isn’t necessary and in the present moment I have found it doesn’t truly exist, not because unpleasant things don’t happen, but because there are no expectations that cause it…

Arisen Thoughts

Thoughts are a given, they’ll always be there. To think is human, but taking your thoughts to the next level to form concepts is when attachment arises as a belief thought to need life different…

If it’s not learned to just be with the thoughts that arise, they will control you. This is because of the conditioning of a mind that wants to push thoughts away and change them. How this works is, let’s say someone walks up to you and says something that you don’t particularly care for, immediately there’s attachment as there’s the thought of not caring for what was said, and where there’s attachment, there’s the tendency to react the way you always react when someone says something that’s not cared for. This is done again and again because of the conditioning in place. Someone says something you don’t care for and you wind up saying something back to them. What you do is take their dissatisfying thought and make it your own and then you throw your dissatisfied thought back at them. Now basically you are at war.

Thoughts aren’t right or wrong, there’s very little fact as to why they arise. The main thing is to allow their energy to remain free flowing so it doesn’t get bottled up and form a conditioned concept. These concepts are formed by attachment to mind patterns that change a simple thought into a story; the story being the thought needs to be changed. It’s not true your thought needs to be changed, but that’s what the conditioned energy does, it makes you believe a thought is unpleasant and a pleasant one would be better. This is energy that wants to push away when thoughts arise because it doesn’t understand they aren’t right or wrong, they are just what’s there, but you don’t have to attach to them…

Guided Direction

Being a guide to provide a direction so others can find their way is important, but when the guide is only there to provide a specific direction, its guiding effectiveness is limited…


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


One guide always talks about there not being a self very matter of factually as if this is the only way one can experience peace. Many others use religion as a guide to peace. I’ve found there are as many guides to peace as there people and none of them are necessarily wrong. I don’t know and don’t really care what direction one travels, it’s not my place to judge. To me the bottom line is to show love and respect to everyone, even if their way is not something I’ve experienced. The only reason someone shares something is because it’s what’s in place. Its not up to me to judge, but it is up to me to watch my own direction and make sure it isn’t limiting the guidance that others may be looking to…

Move On

Situations of life are always changing, one day regardless of your current situation it will also change so you might as well move on because change is simply the nature of life…

Since change is the nature of life it’s most beneficial to learn to move on as opposed to resisting change. Last month I went through some major changes with my health. Basically this meant I had to change some things that were in place for many years, but since change is the nature of life I had to move on to not get bogged down in changes resisting energy. This isn’t life doing anything, it’s just something that happens and I better move on because if I don’t the situation will take me for a ride on the emotional roller coaster of life; even though this is of my own doing. You see there is always a choice, but it takes perseverance to not allow the situations of what happens to be in control. Situations in life never stay the same, from being born which is a situation, to dying which is also a situation. The main thing to do when situations change whether they’re wanted or not is to simply move on.

This isn’t the key to happiness here because if something is unpleasant like getting sick, it will not make you happy, but it doesn’t have to control you and be allowed to take you from your place of peace. Many things happen in life, loved one’s die, people get sick, accidents happen, there are disappointments, heartache, there are also joys, and elations, but regardless of what occurs, move on because not only will it not last, but it doesn’t have to be allowed to control you. There’s a peace and balance in understanding “move on” and the key to this is understanding everything is impermanent as one day regardless of what the situation is right now, it will also change so you might as well simply move on…
