Unconscious Tools

There’s a pull that occurs in most lives that keeps unconscious tools in place without any investigation whatsoever. The issue with this is these tools are passed on to others so it becomes the blind leading the blind…

If there are only unconscious tools in your daily decision making process without any investigation, there will be many decisions made without knowing if they are truly beneficial. When these unconscious tools are passed on to others it equates to the blind leading the blind; very few people truly understand the Conditioned Mind. Without the discipline that provides some stillness, life becomes an though you are sheep walking; to the Conditioned Mind there’s no need to question this because it has all the answers. Saying I’m not there yet is a lie and it’s a created block that hampers the ability to truly live; there is no there to get to. What amazes me is how people settle for tools just because they’re comfortable and someone else says they works. Using the saying I’m not there yet is just a way the Conditioned Mind (ego) remains in control.

To me it’s just mind boggling how a person remains with what they have in place without taking into consideration there might be another way to see things; this is how the pull is held onto and keeps one in a self created prison that causes suffering. Life doesn’t cause suffering, the Conditioned Mind does and unless one is willing to investigate and allow the mind to settle, the pull of the conditioning will remain in place and one will continue to use unconscious tools that cause suffering. And here’s the real issue with this, these tools are passed on to others as it becomes the blind leading the blind…

Exposing Truth

If you are to get to the truth of who you are, it’s going to take studying the Conditioned Mind and the willingness to sit so the process of peeling away the layers of your conditioning can begin…

Nothing will ever change as long one continues to blame others and looks outside themselves for their answers. If you can’t get beyond all the conditioning that’s in place, getting to the truth of existence which requires nothing but being in its space, will be just about impossible; this is only because the Conditioned Mind doesn’t allow it. Using the onion analogy substitute the onion with humans and the core is truth. Every onion has layers, but unless the onions layers are peeled, its core will never be exposed. It will always be there as it’s a natural part of every onion, but without actually peeling the onion the core will remain hidden. The natural process of an onion is to cover its core. Humans have evolved the same. The Conditioned Mind provides the layers that need to be peeled so the truth can be exposed: very few people ever get to truth.

Underneath all the conditioning is the truth of one’s existence, there’s no blame and there’s no looking for answers anywhere but within this space. When one’s conditioning is peeled away one layer at a time, truth gets more exposed and one’s true nature takes hold, but if there isn’t awareness of this truth will never be exposed because it can’t. It’s like a force field is around the truth and without awareness it seems as though it’s impenetrable. Take heed because it’s not impenetrable, it’s just going to take some studying of the Conditioned Mind and the willingness to begin the process of peeling away the so called onion of one’s conditioning, so one can get to the truth of who you truly are…

Resulted Karma

Each of us gets back the resulted karma of our actions. Everyone is their own judge and jury and for the most part the verdicts are determined by the actions that are done when no one is looking…

The cartoons from years ago had a Devil and Angel pop up on a characters shoulders when a decision was needed about something. The figures that popped up were always in the image of the individual character, it was because that’s who the real struggle and conflict is always with. Nothing from the outside can do you the harm as your own thoughts; conflict arises when things aren’t lining up with the story of the way you think things should be. Karma is something that’s real. I can make it like I’m this spiritual guru and behind closed doors be selfish and unloving, but I’m not fooling anyone because wherever I go there I am. What is done behind closed doors shapes your life; “To thine own self be true”

Love can preached and recited with all the airy fairy nonsense that fits nicely into a so called spiritual box, but if you’re not showing loving kindness to all beings, it’s all being done to satisfy the Devil cartoon character (ego) on your shoulder. So many conditioned stories are made up about life and this keeps one in their own prison. You can get in touch with this simply by seeing how much love you show to all beings. Lip service means little here because it’s not only the world that gets hurt, it’s also yourself. So much arises throughout life as the Devil and Angel characters pop up, just make sure the one selected allows for the resulted karma of loving all beings…

Created Walls

Walls to an abundant life are created by a mind that’s conditioned to be selfish. The mind creates these walls by keeping you under the spell that the selfish mind is needed for abundance…

The walled mind is one that is conditioned to be this way; it can’t get over its own created wall so truth is hidden from its view. This blocks the ability to see the abundance that’s available so instead of being in the presence of what is, what isn’t is the minds defaulted view. Learn to be with what is actually occurring and the default setting of the mind becomes one of abundance because the created walls cease to exist. When this occurs the selfish mind isn’t in control and you’re free to live without walls; with the walls being created by your own mind.

Only a Conditioned Mind needs walls. To create walls is to put a limit on something or to control something, this is what a Conditioned Mind does. Even though it seems like we choose to do what we do, when anything is done that is based in selfishness it limits because no one not even the one doing exactly as wanted benefits. This is because not only is one out of alignment with the Universe, one is out of alignment with themselves. When you go beyond this conditioning, you go beyond your own mind created walls as abundance is naturally seen. To be without walls is to be aligned with the Universe and to be aligned with the Universe is to be aligned with ourselves without needing the walls of anything having to be different than what it is…

Desires Story

Desires are conditioned driven, it matters little to life or the Universe whether they’re fulfilled or not. You can make up a story that it matters, but that’s your story not life’s…

You can desire things a certain way, but to life this doesn’t really matter much. Life isn’t a respecter of desire, it allows things for its betterment so if you’re one of the instruments which are being used in this capacity, you’re truly blessed because you‘re probably assisting others in a unique way. This doesn’t make you special, but it does allow you to be free of the self centered “I” that holds most of the world in captivity. Desires are conditioned driven, it matters little to life or the Universe whether they’re fulfilled or not. You can make up a story that it matters, but that’s your story not life’s. Fulfill every desire in your life and at the end of it you will have exactly what you would’ve had no want been fulfilled.

It always makes me chuckle when I’m watching a ball game and a player hits a home run followed by pointing upward, as if something is watching and cares more about the person hitting the home run as opposed to the pitcher giving it up. What happens when the person strikes out which is inevitable? I’m waiting for the day when a person strikes out and points downward. All these stories mean nothing to the Universe and regardless if they seem to work out or not, they’re just stories. Things will always work out the way they work out until it’s realized the Universe (life) doesn’t really care if they do or don’t. Desires are only held onto because one thinks they’re needed, but because life isn’t a respecter of desires, suffering prevails because that’s the story you not life has in place…

Unconsciously Controlled

Thoughts are a part of life, but they don’t have to be a controlling part. If there isn’t awareness of your thoughts they will unconsciously be attached to which will lead you to unconsciously being controlled by them…

If there isn’t awareness of your own thoughts, there won’t be anyway of knowing how much you are unconsciously controlled by them. Without this awareness you’ll be taken on an unconscious ride. Life doesn’t directly do anything to anyone, but thoughts happen and they determine the kind of ride you will endure. Awareness of your arisen thoughts are essential if you’re to not be controlled by them. Thoughts are a natural part of life and there’s no way of controlling the ones that arise, but I have found that awareness of them allows for a split second of space that can be used to determine whether or not the thought controls you or not; remember it’s the attachment to a certain thought that causes suffering, not the thought itself.

The Conditioned Mind is diabolical and unless there’s some awareness of how controlling your thoughts actually are, they will control you as if you were a puppet on a string. So subtle is this that even if you are doing things that you label as loving, if these thoughts aren’t watched they will eventually also control you; remember control is control regardless of what label is applied to the thought. This is why the Conditioned Mind is diabolical because of its subtleness in using whatever it can to remain in control. Thoughts will arise, but they don’t have to control you. If there isn’t awareness of this, your thoughts will be unconsciously attached to which will allow them to unconsciously be in control…

Mind Agitations

The agitation in the head won’t quiet on its own regardless of what your belief is. Beliefs hinder the quieting because they’re just a response to a mind agitation that blocks inner silence…

If the agitation in the head is in control and running the show, it doesn’t matter much what’s going on, it’s going to be difficult to connect with your inner silence. It’s such a agitated world and what makes it so is most people are looking for an answer outside of themselves when the answer is within. So what the agitation actually is and how it’s created is by not being aware that you already have your answers. With a mind that’s conditioned to want answers, you have to constantly look for them, hence the agitation. This is how the agitation of a Conditioned Mind is formed and how it blocks awareness to our inner presence. The agitation is created because if you knew you had your answers, the need to look for them wouldn’t exist nor would the mind agitation.

When and if you come to the place where you understand this, the mind agitations may not stop completely, but they will begin the process of at least quieting. It’s imperative to understand this if inner silence is to be experienced in life. If you don’t understand this, the mind agitations will never stop, at least while you are alive; this is why it’s imperative to understand this now. Why wait to be at peace later when you can be at peace right now. It’s not like the mind agitations are needed to live life; they’re only there because they’re unconsciously allowed…

Fleeing From Yourself

To accept yourself as you are is such a relief because the only real misery is wanting you to be in some other way. When it’s realized you have only been trying to flee from yourself, there is peace…

When one awakens the secrets of the Universe aren’t revealed, although in a way they are, what really happens is you stop needing to flee from yourself. To me the main benefit of waking from the sleep of unconsciousness isn’t figuring out what life is all about, it’s not being concerned with what life is all about. The fleeing, searching, reaching, and need to do ceases as it’s realized what you have been fleeing from is yourself. It’s a great relief to accept yourself exactly as you are because the only real misery is wanting you to be in some other way. When this is seen the need to flee subsides as does the need to be right. Also the need for things to be different subsides, especially yourself. This doesn’t mean you don’t proceed forward to change, but it’s done so in a way that it doesn’t cause the very suffering that one is trying to avoid. When you stop escaping from yourself, you stop reaching, this occurs naturally. I had to flee from myself for forty nine years and it nearly killed me.

This was my awakening; to see that I was always fleeing from myself. It was revealed that I could stop this and I was going to be okay. This is a beautiful space, it’s the space where the peace that passes all understanding arises. It’s not a mystical place for a select few, it’s a place where everyone’s heart dwells, one just has to stop trying to flee to experience it. The possibilities when one stops fleeing are endless, there are no blocks here so creativity arises. No one knows what exactly may arise, but I can tell you this, when you stop fleeing from yourself and the reaching for things stops, life is lived in the peaceful state of accepting yourself exactly as you are…

Disguised Lie

The Conditioned Mind creates a lie disguised as a void, the heart sees this as love. Until this is realized, one will constantly need to reach for something to try and fill this void that even though it doesn’t truly exist…

For many years I said I had a void in me that was created from a lack of love. That’s why I constantly reached for things to fill it with, but I have since come to understand this differently. This void isn’t a void at all, it’s an emptiness, this emptiness is the essence of love. It’s where life happens when one is busy making other plans. By not understanding this I spent most of my life trying to fill a void with whatever I could get my hands on. This is an endless list as to what was used and each individual has to investigate for themselves what they use. It’s ironic though because now most of my life is life is spent in the space that for so long I considered a void; this is the truth that has been revealed to me.

This misunderstood void is the reason why anyone reaches for anything or wants life to be different. If this was understood for what it truly is, humanity would be much different because contentment would be the way of the world. This void is a disguised lie of the Conditioned Mind and it keeps one constantly needing the present moment to be different so it keeps one reaching to fill the so called void. This will need to be understood if the reaching is to ever end. When it is understood the void transforms to love because the present moment doesn’t have to be different. When the present moment doesn’t have to be different, life reveals its true essence as love which doesn’t ever need to be filled with anything because the lie is seen for what it is…

Changing Conditioning

Everyone has the choice whether to change or stay the same, but it’s only those who are truly aware it’s their conditioning that needs changing that have this choice…

What has became clear is my awareness of how everything that happens in life is a result of conditions being a certain way, and the only way something changes is when the conditioning changes. This is a fact, it doesn’t take a belief for this to occur; get water below 32 degrees and it will freeze. All things in life have certain operating properties and when conditions are in line with those properties it’s natural course of action will take place. It’s what happens with every living thing that begins life, whether humans, animals, plants, clouds, stars and so on, nothing truly happens independently on its own, it’s all has an association with something else.

In the case of behavior it’s the same way, no one acts a certain way just because, there is always the root cause behind every action and unless this root is exposed, nothing can change; it’s not that it won’t change, it can’t. This is why there’s suffering in the world, nothing inherently makes you suffer, your own mind does this and only because of the way it’s conditioned. When something happens many times people see it differently so it affects them differently, but there are some things that are the same no matter what. If there’s isn’t oxygen, you will stop breathing and die, if the heart stops, same result for the most part; this happens as a result of conditions. So everyone has the choice whether to change or stay the same, but only those who truly know it’s the conditioning that needs to be changed have this choice…

Harmonic Vibrations

Harmonic vibrations are always there just waiting to be aligned with. When we understand the stillness beneath all our stories we can stop and align with harmonic vibrations which are the essence life itself…

We’re not always aligned with the harmonic vibrations that the Universe provides to us and this our misfortune. It’s not that we can’t always be aligned, but we have to do the things that will allow its alignment. This alignment is in relation to how much we hold onto a lower self that tries to control life, this control is thought based and although certain aspects of life need to be controlled, it’s the parts that are beyond our control which we insist on controlling; that is the block to the awareness to harmonic vibrations.

There’s a part of us that’s controlled by the senses, this is our human aspect (thought based) of who we are, but there’s a self that is beyond the senses, that is beyond anything physical, beyond any thought, this is the self of no mind. This self can’t be conceptualized, it’s the harmonic vibrations beyond form, this is energy in it’s purest state. It’s only our thought process that needs to make things solid so it can have something to hold onto and make sense of; this is what thoughts are. Beyond thought is pure Universal Energy, it’s who we are before our existence in this form began and when conditions no longer allow this form to exist the form ends.

Our thoughts are energy, but this energy isn’t pure because it has attachment added to it, it’s based in the senses. To go beyond these sense thoughts one must go beyond their attachment. This will be when one is in alignment with harmonic vibrations. It can be called many things, but words are not needed to understand this, actually any word will hamper the availability to harmonic vibrations because words themselves are a form of thought. When we learn to just be and not attach to anything to make up the story of who we are (a thought) at this point one will understand who they truly are; thoughtless, formless, pure energy, this is the state that leads to alignment with harmonic vibrations…

Self Created Suffering

Nothing that happens in life affects a person unless it’s allowed. This is the insanity of a Conditioned Mind, its self destructive solutions are all from within which means one creates their own suffering…

The bottom line for me is this, when all is said and done, regardless of what it’s called, I have found a way to minimize the reactions in my life that cause my own suffering, which by the way my own mind tells me is needed to cope with life; a life that was controlled by this destructive mind set. My own mind created all the craziness that went on by choosing actions I thought I wanted to do, but my choices always caused suffering. I developed a mind that told me to do things that were destructive to my own well being. From relationships, to drugs, alcohol, gambling, and a slew of other things, nothing was ever chosen that was beneficial to my well being, it always seemed to cause more harm than good. How this mind set developed I’m not sure, but I do know this, it can be described as insanity at its best.

Thirteen years ago an inner shift occurred that wanted this destructive to end. I wasn’t sure what was going to happen, but I did know I needed to find a way to bring peace into my life or it was going to be a short one. I have no name for what happen, there isn’t a benefit in calling it something. A label needn’t be applied to what happened. All that was needed then and all that is needed now is for my behavior which was once totally self destructive, to no longer be that way. This is why labels and what others do isn’t a concern to me, because I know for years my own mind allowed itself to create suffering within myself and because of the shift that occurred there is an awareness that suffering doesn’t have to be created anymore.

Regardless of what it’s called or what attached label is put on it (by others) the bottom line for me is this, when I have conflict with something it’s my own self destructive mind that creates it and this means I am not a peace. Now because there‘s awareness of this, my mind doesn’t do this so there’s peace. All I ever wanted in my life was peace, but I didn’t know it was my own mind that was the cause of not being at peace…

Awakened Silence

When words are used to try and convince others that a certain way to live is right, it’s of the ego. A true testament of any awakening is demonstrated in silence because silence is what one awakens to…

Social media is a useful tools to connect with people and assist each other where years ago one was basically on their own as far as interaction was concerned. Books were always available, but books limit ones expansion to what’s written because you only learn what the content is that’s presented in the book. It’s very difficult for the expansion of the mind through knowledge alone. I find social media so comical at times because some of the content of the things written are as limited as the content of a book. People throw phrases around like the words really mean something; they do, but only to a Conditioned Mind.

When there’s an awareness there’s no explaining necessary to try and convince anyone of a correct view, that’s when freedom from the bondage of self can be realized. Everyone’s view is correct because it’s what’s provided to them and no two people are provided with the same exact view. The point of this post is to show words like enlightenment, no self, Nirvana, God, love, or whatever else one wants to use to define their great insightfulness, aren’t truly needed. Words are used to create a story made up by the Conditioned Mind; when true freedom is discovered it manifest as silence.

Everyone discovers what the Universe provides for them, nothing more nothing less, and as soon as this is realized it’s then that one will be truly free because there will be no words needed to explain or convince others that there’s a certain way to live. But the way will be seen by those who understand answers cannot be defined with words because answers can only arise when there is silence…

Hear the Call

If we seek what we think is needed to stop being asleep, we will probably remain asleep. Our awakening is from the Universe, but this will not be known if we are trapped in a self that thinks it knows what’s best…

We are a product of the Universe, we are not a product of ourselves. We did not call for our creation nor do we call for the time when it will end. Our existence is a product of the Universe and the energy transformed to awaken is from the Universe. This is why we can’t really do anything to transform ourselves. We can only do the necessary practice to allow our heart to open so the Universe can do its thing. This is not our doing, this is a calling from the Universe; we want to practice because the Universe is calling. The reason some practice and some don’t is because the noise in the head is too loud to hear the still small voice within. Even though it seems an awakening is from the outside, it can only be heard from within.

Through our Conditioned Mind we become trapped in very self-centered desires, this is also from the Universe, it just doesn’t produce love. Energy always is, it’s just a matter of listening so you can hear where you are directed. We seek because the Universe calls us, we see because the veil of a Conditioned Mind is removed and our energy is then guided by the heart. Spirituality is not magical for a select few who think they‘re special, it’s available to anyone who listens to the still small voice within. The Universe is always calling, but are you listening? If you think you’re listening, are you hearing the true message or are you making up your own message to fulfill your self-centered desires? It takes much quietness to hear the Universe’s call, the alternative is to listen and follow your own which is scary. Why may you ask is it scary, because most are trapped in fulfilling self-centered desires for their own benefit…

Stillness Contribution

If you can get beyond the story of contributing to life and just be in the stillness of the moment, your contribution to life and humanity will be beyond anything you could make up as being needed…

I see things much different than most, this doesn’t separate me though it just makes my view different. I don’t have a need to make up a story of helping others to contribute to life and humanity. All I found that’s truly needed is to do is what’s in front of me and be present. There’s nothing one can truly do to gain more self worth because that would mean there would be a need to have things different in order for you to be complete; this just isn’t so. If you aren’t complete as you are you have to ask yourself why. Putting out completeness energy is all the contribution life and humanity needs. If something else is needed, your contribution to humanity basically becomes non existent, your energy becomes taking. I know we all see things as the conditioning in place dictates, but the nonsense this taking energy generates puts one in the position to be controlled by taking energy not contributing. Even when it’s thought to be contributing energy, it takes a very settled mind to see if this is truly so.

This is not to say don’t help others or do loving things, just don’t attach to it, that’s all I’m saying. I’m real clear the world is as it is, I’m not really sure if it’s suppose to be this way or not. I do know in the space of stillness my life transformed. If I died tomorrow the world will go on. I won’t leave a legacy behind as this or that, I simply do what the Universe reveals and that is that. In this space of that is that energy is so much peace that it’s impossible to explain and if you can truly get beyond the story of contributing to life and just be in the stillness of the moment, your contribution to life and humanity will be beyond anything you could make up as being something that’s needed…
