Naturally Arising Truth

Truth isn't a made up story nor is something that can be manufactured. There‘s only awareness of it when the lies are exposed, so expose your lies and truth will naturally arise…

To me it's clear what truth is and here's why, thirteen years ago I started to look into a different way to live my life and at the core of this looking was the revealing of lies. I didn't know much about anything, but I did know I needed a different way to view life. I understood one thing, that my own mind was the cause as to why there were lies, so I set out to find out why this was and if it was possible to change this. As this process of self inquiry proceeded, my lies were slowly being revealed and as this happened my life become less and less about the lies. It didn't become about anything else, it just wasn't all about the lie of needing to fulfill my wants and desires; when this happens awakened qualities (truth) naturally arise. This doesn't mean everything goes your way, it doesn't matter how it goes because there aren’t the lies of a story of wanting and needing things a certain way; without a story truth is revealed.

Truth is difficult to describe in words because it's interpreted differently by everyone, but I have found truth is the space of what is. What is has many labels dependent on what's occurring at the time. It can be horrible, beautiful, or neutral, the label doesn't change what's actually occurring, being in the space of what's occurring changes it and that's because without a label there's aren’t lies, there’s only space. In this space there's no lie and without a lie is when truth is revealed. It's not a made up truth, it's the truth of just being in the space of what's here right now and not needing to add a lie to it. In this space is where you’ll become aware of truth, but it has nothing to do with you directly; it’s a truth that naturally arises when the lies are revealed...

Noisy Mind

A noisy mind is a mind that has preconceived ideas which are based on a sense of self, and because it's conditioned to always be noisy, there's no space created to see truth as opposed to noise…

As long as the mind is noisy it can't be at peace; at the core of this is one's sense of self. The sense of self may be the hardest concept to let go of because it's intertwined with just about every thought you have. It’s been in place since existence began, but it's not the sense of sense that's controlling, it's the attachment to it. I have a sense of self, how can I not I exist, but the attachment to it has lessened significantly in the last thirteen years. This has opened the door to what's in place today, this is not to say I don't sometimes attach to the sense of self, but never like the first forty nine years of my life.

The last couple of days I've had discussions with people about the content of a couple of the articles I posted and I can see why what was written wasn't grasped, it’s because the discussions were directly linked to the attachment to their sense of self. I don't take a stand that my way is right; this is because it isn't my way. But when what I write is disagreed with, where does the disagreement come from? I'm not judging anyone here, what I'm stating is factual, the more there’s attachment to a sense of self the less on sees.

What people don't realize is how the mind works. I've sat and investigated why I reacted like I did and why I did the things I did. Very few truly investigate their mind and this leads to the conditioning in place being in control. This doesn't make me better than anyone knowing this, but by having an understanding of the lies that I lived by for so many years, this does allow me to not attach to them. I would also have to say therein lies the difference between one being attached to the sense of self or one being free of it. This also creates the difference between not being limited by a self who has a noisy mind or one being limited by attachment to the noise…

Universal Trust

There’s the limited view where you rely on the world with all its conceptual nonsense or there’s the bigger picture beyond the nonsense where there’s reliance and trust in the Universe…

When the mind is settled your reliance is on the Universe instead of reliance on the worlds conceptual nonsense. There’s a deep trust that arises when the mind is settled. It’s in settling that all life arises from so when your mind settles in stillness, the everlasting trust of the Universe is there to replace the mind agitations which are the cause of all nonsense.

When the mind is settled it allows for one to live from Universal energy instead the conceptual nonsense. This is a connection with the goodness of life, your own internal goodness, and a connection to all beings. This connection is already there, it’s just not seen because it’s not known what will make it so. The only reason this isn’t known is because of the mind agitations that blocks you for trusting the Universe.

When this isn’t trust it opens the door for all kinds of nonsense. When it’s learned to discipline the undisciplined mind the agitations slowly subside. What you’re naturally left with is a deep trust provided by the Universe. This trust is what’s there beyond the noise of a Conditioned Mind, beyond the worlds conceptual nonsense. When the mind settles and you’re in the space of stillness, there’s trust because in the stillness of the Universe shows you who you truly are. Trust in the Universe with all your heart and allow the mind to settle so you’re not relying on the worlds nonsense to live life. Within this trust life can be lived as intended, as the trusting beautiful being that you truly are…

Inner Ignorance

As long as there's inner ignorance in place this will be the operating energy controlling your life. This operating energy arises as unconsciousness and it doesn't allow you to see what's truly going on…

Unless you’re awake how things appear isn't how they actually are. If you truly want to see what's going on getting beyond your inner ignorance will have to happen. If two people are looking at same thing there are usually two different opinions of what is seen. There's two sides to every story. There’s the view of inner ignorance and there’s the view of consciousness; this is the truth. To stop seeing from inner ignorance stop labeling what is seen. Stopping the labeling process allows the mind to slow to a point when consciousness is seen. It's imperative for this to happen if the inner ignorance that's been formed over the years is to lessen its grip.

Ignorance is so misunderstood and how this is known is because of the behavior that's exhibited. I look to my own reactions to know this and in the process I can see it in others. This isn't a judgement, it's factual. Know your own mind and you will know the mind of others. This is because we are all of the same energy. Creation is creation anyway it’s looked at. When ignorance is seen for what it is, its energy begins to transform in a direction that allows consciousness. As long as there’s ignorance of this, the energy of ignorance will remain as the operating energy of your life. This operating energy arises from inner ignorance and takes on many forms, but the bottom line is your inner ignorance doesn't allow you to see what's truly going on…

Form Attachment

When there's a need to reach for something because of an inner lack you become attached to form. Until this is seen, you remain attached as you seek to fill your inner lack with the next thing reached for…

You will never fill your inner lack by attaching to form because form is the creator of the inner lack. Completeness is something that's already within everyone, but because of the way our minds are conditioned you get attached to form which makes you think completeness is something outside of you. Unfortunately this attachment to form makes the very lack you are trying to fill impossible to fill. This attachment to form is the reason one is constantly reaching for something from the outside and until this is seen you will remain attached to a form that thinks completeness is in the next thing reached for. Alcohol, gambling, drugs, sex, religion, social status, programs, therapy, self help books, politics, and on and on, this reaching is proof that there is attachment to form. I can't stress this enough as this attachment to your form has to be seen if you are to experience completeness in your life.

It's impossible to think your way to understanding this. What has to happen if there’s to be an understanding of this is why you’re attached to a form is because of the inability to just be. When the need to reach for something arises, the attachment to form begins. This attachment to form is a vicious cycle that's very difficult to break. Breaking free of form and experiencing completeness isn't something attained or achieved so it's in doing less that completeness is experienced. To many people get lost (attached) in trying to find completeness through the attachment to form, but since it's within you attachment is a circle because it becomes about finding what’s already there. This is not easy to see, but it's why I share so the attachment to form can be seen for what it is; the cause of why you think you aren’t complete…

Silence Unity

There’s a unity that comes from a deep place, it’s not a place that’s associated with any thought, it’s a place which simply unites us all in the silence that arises from the heart…

In my experience the silence of my heart cannot expand on its own, it needs others. Deepening a connection with others deepens the silence of the heart which is what unites us. If unity were to happen there would be no more greed, hate, or war because the silence would be deafening; it’s in this silence that the magnificence of life is experienced. A majestic sunset, a cool summer breeze, the magnificence of the ocean, a starlit night, loving oneself and others, unity with to all humanity, these are experiences that arise from a silence deep within.

I don’t really know what life is about, but I do understand how silence deepens our connection to each other. When this is experienced it leaves you speechless. For me because of all of you I have been speechless many times. I’m using the word silence to describe this, but to feel this unity words cannot truly explain it. To watch in awe as I’m speaking to someone and as I explain what I went through, I see a sparkle of silence in their eyes, to me this is our hearts connecting. There’s unity that comes from such a deep place; it’s not something that a thought can make happen. Only when there’s a deep connection to others through silence can there unity from the heart. This is when there will be unity with ourselves and with all beings…

Focused Energy

The quality of life is determined by the energy focused on, and as this energy builds on itself this focus determines what the base of this life will be…

This is very important to see, the energy focused on will either come from the heart or the head; this is seen or it isn’t. When this is seen, living from the heart naturally becomes the way you live. Energy builds on itself regardless of what it is, to me this is a basic understanding of the “Law of Attraction” that’s been revealed to me. When focused energy is based in stillness what becomes life’s attraction is all derived from stillness. This isn’t a doing of mine, it’s a transformation occurring from stillness itself.

What’s unfortunate about this is the opposite is also true, at least this has been my experience. For years my focused energy was based to self serve and although I mostly got what I wanted, there wasn’t much satisfaction. This self serving energy built on itself and it doesn’t take a genius to see why my life was the way it was; the focused energy to self serve manifested in the only way it could. What energy is in place will be what’s manifested, there’s no way around this; life can only be what the focus of your energy is.

Sit with this and investigate what is the focus of your energy and see how it builds on itself. Life doesn’t make it what it is, the focus of energy makes it what it is. To a large degree we are all the creators of our own reality and that reality will be determined by where our energy is focused. It’s not up to the outside circumstances that determines life, when energy is focused on outside circumstances this determines how they are dealt with, how they are built on, and the way future circumstances will be dealt with. You can only build upon the energy in place and that’s determined by what your focused energy is based in. The life you build is up to you, you alone are the creator of your reality because your focused energy builds on itself…

Belief Fallacy

Beliefs are made up stories to make life better. If this was all there was to it we could just go around making up belief after belief whenever life wasn't the way we wanted it…

There are very few hard line facts maybe even none in a belief. So what makes a person think a belief is needed to make life better; it doesn’t really make it better. The only reason they're made up to begin with is because of the way our minds have been conditioned. They’re used to keep the mind in a state of agitation by making you believe things need to be different for life to be better. It's what the ego uses to keep you in bondage to a self that doesn't exist. This is why most wars are started, because of an ego that forms beliefs. Whatever the belief is in, whether it's in a God that's going to make things better, or a superior race or the annihilation of one that will make things better, or if it's a belief that if I didn't write my post on this site things would be better. It all stems from your own conditioning of believing if things were different life would be better.

To believe or not to believe, that is the question. It really has nothing to do with the belief, but it does have everything to do with arranging life and thinking if things were different it would be better. This is what needs to be uncovered if the fallacy of a belief is to be revealed. If attaching to a belief is found to make life better, by all means believe, but for me I would have to say life is better without forming beliefs, especially that they exist only in the mind. If they're seen to be real and have some facts to back them up, believe them, attach to them, use them, but don't be surprised when they’re needed to fall back on to make life better, they don't do what was believed they were going to do…

Unknowingly Attached

When you’re under the control of the Conditioned Mind you behave in ways not because it's the way you want to be, you behave in ways because it's the way you have to be…

It was a lack of understanding of what I was truly up against that caused me to remain attached to it, and what I was attached to was my own mind that was conditioned to self serve. The problem with this type of conditioning is it causes your own destruction because the destructiveness is disguised as pleasure. This pleasure is pursued by many to their death. It was pursued by me in this way and I was at it's mercy. It said to me to use drugs, alcohol, gambling, womanizing, lying, cheating, stealing and so on. This is how 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 was instilled indirectly by the inner and outer influences of my life which molded me to behave in the ways my conditioning dictated. 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, and so on. What I learned is when the Conditioned Mind is understood, the world is no longer in control, it's control slowly dissipates as one develops discipline; the mind actually slows down. Once this slowing occurs the possibilities are endless because there are no longer the distractions that keeps you attached to the conditioning. With this solid understanding of what you’re truly up against, you’ll be able to develop the necessary discipline so the conditioning eventually falls away…

I AM Direction

Existence is naturally spiritual so choosing I AM allows for you to come home, and although the mind will often wander, having I AM as a direction will keep you from getting lost…

All of life is a spiritual path and this is so even though a person may not be aware of it. When you do become aware of this it doesn't mean life becomes all that much different. What does become different is your view of life and this makes all the difference in the world. If your stuck in the trance of unconsciousness it's very difficult to see from the perspective of I AM and without developing this you’ll remain in the trance of unconsciousness. This is the trance of the world (form) and it's also the trance of suffering. It manifest in many ways this trance, but its base is in the form of worldly desires. I want this or that, buy this, use that, attain this, go here, go there, win this, learn that, and on and on. It's the way of the world which is form and it's the way of suffering because you're held captive to what the world makes you think you need.

The only way to break this is to constantly choose I AM when you notice you're in the trance of form. Since our existence is naturally spiritual choosing I AM allows you to come home. Although the mind will wander more often than not, with a practice in place to choose I AM when it does wander it gives you a solid direction instead of being lost; grasping for something the world of form makes you believe you need to feel at home. Since home is where the heart is in choosing I AM that's where you will live more often than not, but understand that’s only if I AM is chosen…

Thinking Delusion

Thinking manifest as whatever energy it’s given and self serving energy makes it delusional. This delusion blocks the natural inner resource of love from manifesting the truth that sets you free…

Nothing can truly deceive you unless it's allowed and what allows it but the energy given to thinking whatever it is that's occurring. When you understand the true nature of thinking you will see it’s only energy, not who you are. Thinking has no control whatsoever over you unless it's allowed, but understand it's only allowed because it isn't known how not to allow it. It's simplistic yet very difficult for this to be understood. We've been programmed to believe we are who we think we are,
but if you investigate this you'll see this delusional fallacy. Thinking occurs as energy like, attachment to it is what gives it the energy needed to become a delusional story; an outright lie.

Look at why you think what you think is you. Freedom from attaching to thinking is freedom from your I Self. When this occurs no thing can hold you back from reaching your true potential and understanding who you truly are. You can only love yourself when you know who you are and you can only know who you are when you realize you are not who you think you are.. Even then you may not know who you are, but by knowing who you are not it creates enough space to at least allow for the letting go of the delusional belief of an I Self that the Conditioned Mind energy makes you think is truth. When this letting go occurs, it opens the heart to Universal Truth, a truth that can only be known by being still in the thoughtless realm of what is; it's in knowing this truth that you’re set free…

Developed Conditioning

As we grow up we develop in a conditioned way which allows for our development to be as it is. To put it simply, if the development was based in love humanity would be much different…

As I reflect back I see how many of the Conditioned Mind Patterns I developed were just part of what was there growing up. Nothing particularly right or wrong in this, especially because there wasn't much that could have been done differently. It's very difficult to act in a loving manner if that's not what's in place as you grow up. Some things are learned naturally, but everything takes some kind of practice. If you're learning how to catch a baseball, at first it's probably awkward with no knowledge as to the best way to do it, but the more you do it the more natural it becomes. This is beneficial if what you're learning is based in love, but part of the problem is when what's developed isn't based in love, it too becomes natural; this is why it's so hard to change. I knew what was loving and what was selfish growing up, but doing what was loving was not what was developed so being selfish was natural to me and there wasn't anybody who could tell me different because that's all I knew.

This selfish development caused much suffering because with this conditioning, there wasn't any room for much else to be seen. This is the monkey mind most people unknowingly have and it's a direct result of why humanity is the way it is. If we all grew up with our development based in loved, humanity would be much different, it's that simple. I know this because thirteen years ago I began developing a different base (one of love) and lo and behold things began changing. It doesn't mean it's always this way, but just as it is with learning to catch a baseball, it takes practice, and in this case it's done so the loving behavior becomes as natural as the earlier development of being selfish was…



Change Your Station

The only way to change the station of the mind is to have something in place that will allow it to be changed. This is where quietness comes in because without it there won't even be awareness of what’s playing…

I really enjoy music, the other night I caught myself listening to music and catching the last half of a song. When the song was over I began station surfing, looking for something to listen to. 10 seconds on one station, 10 seconds on another 15 on another, than another and another, you get the picture. How quick to change the station without hesitation, but isn't it amazing how we stay on one station when it comes to the mind. We're so reluctant to change the station even though nothing is truly on. Actually what's mostly on are replays, yet we'll often to the same station (thought) over an over. It's as if we're stuck on one station and don't know how to go to a different one and in a sense we are.

Think of something you get fixated on and see how hard it is to change your mind when its got you in its grip. I would say unless there's extreme awareness of this, changing your station will be very difficult, not impossible, but difficult. The only way to change the station of the mind is to have something in place that will allow it to be changed. This is where quietness comes in because without it there won't even be awareness what’s on. It may be a repeat using some fictitious name, but it's still a repeat. Watch the subtleness of this and in time you will see your mind for what it is and how it likes to default to familiar stations. The issue is you can get so comfortable with familiar stations that it's not realized the station needs to be changed; this realization will only occur if you have something in place that's worth changing to…

Weighted Adjustments

If life has to be a certain way for it to be okay, it's as if a weight is being carried around because needing life a certain way creates the load of having to make constant adjustments…

Nobody knows what this life has in store for them between the time they are born and when it ends. Today you can be going along with what's considered the perfect life and in an instant it can change, and it will for someone. Some turn of events is occurring right now as I'm writing this that's turning someone's life upside down. Moments ago it may have been just the way that it was wanted, but now all that has changed. So the point of this writing is it will hopefully allow you to take a moment to reflect on life needing to be a certain way for it to be considered okay and how when it changes there's a weight that’s carried around.

So much time is spent trying to maintain a certain existence and when the moment comes that it changes, will you be ready for it or will the change be resisted and hence will you allow the change to create an unnecessary load. Life is life and without a moments notice it changes and can even end; this is occurring right now for someone. The question to ask yourself is what weight are you carrying around that you deemed so important? If life ended right now, everything and I do mean everything you are carrying around will be let go of like it or not. It all goes away, none of it matters whatsoever from concern for children, parents, the state of the world, your favorite team, jobs, and so on. So why is it being carried around and allowed to weight you down? That's the million dollar question to ask yourself if you are ever to be free, or not and remain attached to the weight of needing life to be a certain way, creating the load of having to make constant adjustments…

Delusional Reality

To expose your created delusions, why they're being created needs to be understood. If this understanding doesn't occur the delusions remain as your reality which in turn makes your life delusional…

The way the base of your thoughts are formulated determines if you see what actually occurs in life or if life becomes the made up reality of the formulated thoughts. Because of the lack of clarity of truth in most peoples lives, this creates two realities occurring at the same. One is what is actually occurring and the other is your thoughts of what's occurring. The more unaware a person is of this the more their thoughts make up a delusional story of life instead of living a life of what's actually occurring.

If this is how you’re living it makes for a very unproductive existence because a made up life is being lived; when this is done your entire existence is delusional. It's like a magic trick, no matter how real it seems it's not. To expose what makes a delusion seem real and how the trick is done needs to be understood. It's the same with our life, to expose the created delusions, why it's being created needs to be seen. If this understanding doesn't occur the delusion remains as your reality.

Thoughts are the base of all delusions because without the belief of something (thought) it's impossible for the delusion to exist. All delusions start with a thought that it‘s real, but the thought isn't what's actually occurring so two realities are happening at the same time; one is created (the thought) and one just is. The one you live your life by determines if it's based in what's actually occurring or if you're living a life of delusions created by the Conditioned Mind. There's living your given life (what is) or there's life made up. It can be a delusional creation of your thoughts or it can be the reality of what is. There are always two realities to choose from, to expose the delusional one why it's created needs to be understood. If this doesn't occur the delusions remain as reality which in turn makes life a delusion…
