Corrupted Reactions

Most reactions that occur in life are corrupted and are put in place by a corrupt government system. If your life isn’t experienced to its fullest potential, it’s your attachment to corrupted reactions that block it from being so…

Although things may seem to be a certain way, they’re not always as it seems. It’s difficult to see beyond your own mind when corrupt conditioning is brought into play. So much of what the mind holds onto is corrupt and is stored to be used at particular times, this blocks life from truly being experienced. Most people already have in place the way things are going to be handled, corrupted reactions are formed in this way.

Sports is a billion dollar industry because of this. Media uses certain words they know are going to corrupt people in a predictable way. Stores know exactly where to place products. It’s all based on presenting things a certain way so your corrupted reactions make them more attractive.

This occurs because the corrupted Conditioned Mind determines it. If you had no previous corrupted conditioning, none of the above methods would work, but this is not the case. One of the keys to not corruptly reacting is to develop some way to be in the present moment. The more you’re in the present moment the more life is experienced. When this occurs there’s a peace that passes all understanding because there’s awareness of the corrupt government system and your corrupted reactions are no longer seen as beneficial…

One-sided Opinions

One-sided opinions keep you attached to a world where there’s very little unity because there’s no room for truth. If you want to know the truth, the one-sided opinions will have to go…

The more one-sided you are about something, the more you’re attached to that opinion. It’s difficult to experience the openness of something if you’ve already decided how it is; to remain open one needs to limit their opinions. This is essential if there is be alignment with the Universe and see the truth beyond the things that you are attached to. Being one-sided on the things that have a hold on you will need to be let go of if the truth is to be seen; this hold is very subtle. Even the one-sided opinion on whether you like this post or not will keep you in the same place. This post can resonate with you without an opinion, but opinions seem to make the world go round. That doesn’t mean it’s a good thing, but that’s just an opinion.

I lived an existence that was very one-sided for most of my life and this caused much conflict with people who weren’t of the same opinion; wars are started over one-sided opinions. If you’re really honest with yourself you’ll see that every disagreement you ever had with someone was caused by being one-sided on an opinion about something. I’m not saying you shouldn’t stand up for truth, but truly knowing about something and being one-sided about it is totally different.

There’s a place of no opinion. If it’s not understood, you’ll never see truth and you’ll remain in a one-sided existence; when this is the place lived from there’s very little unity. When you can just be with life as it unfolds and not label it as this or that, you’ll be on the verge of truly experiencing life, multi-sided. When you’re not attached to everything forming a one-sided opinion, there’s truth to be with life as it is without the need of a one-sided opinion that just keeps you locked in the same place…

Truly Content

The only way one will ever be truly content is without the story that something other than this moment will provide contentment. When this is understood so will true contentment be understood…

Everyone has a story, no one goes through life storyless, but the story really isn’t the issue, it’s how the story becomes your controlling energy; that’s when issues arise. There other day there was a discussion going on about one of my post. How this affects me is how it’s made into a story, but it isn’t really a story, it’s just what’s happening. Since there are many who read my post there are many different versions of their story, none are the right or wrong one, they’re just what each one who reads them perceives because of the conditioning in place.

Here’s why storied energy creates an issue, someone posted yesterday how they were really looking forward to going on vacation tomorrow; this would mean right now they’re not content. Although this seems innocent it’s not because this simple statement blocks out truly living life and being content with life right now. This is the issue a story creates, it doesn’t allow you to be with the fullness of the life you’re actually living in this moment; it’s always when this or that happens. Create your own story, but that story is your block to your own freedom. The only way one will ever truly be content is without the story that something other than this moment will provide contentment; when this is understood so will true contentment be understood; without a needed story…

Made Up Purpose

The Conditioned Mind needs to make up a purpose for life. In the space of stillness everything just is and it’s clear that the purpose of life is to live with whatever’s there…

When this part of my life began it was with one thing in mind and that was to find a way to bring peace into my life. It has pretty much remained this way, but it seems to be naturally going to a different more deeper level. Our made up needs become our prison. I carefully watch how the mind, at least mine, wants to make up a purpose for life. These made up purposes are plentiful, but they’re all just made up; when the mind settles this will be seen.

Just be with what’s there is, don’t think about it, let it become a part of you. The first forty nine years of my life were lived to satisfy my I Self without much thought of anything else; this was done because that’s what was there. You will do what you do because of what’s in place and until this is realized, a true purpose will never be understood because a made up one will always be needed; that’s just how the Conditioned Mind operates. When the mind settles into quietness, no labels need to be applied to life. Only the Conditioned Mind needs to apply labels and make up a purpose. In the space of stillness everything just is and it becomes clear that the purpose of life is to just live with whatever is there; without the need to make up a purpose…

 

Imagined Disconnect

Feelings that aren’t based in facts are just a figment of the imagination. Stick with the facts and stay connected to life, or not and live a disconnected state of existence…

There are times that it seems there’s more of a connection with life than at other times, but it isn’t life that changes, life just is; it’s something in us that causes our disconnect. This is the same when we feel disconnected with people, it’s always something within ourselves that causes the disconnect. Even if there’s interactions with the most evil person alive, when you’re connected with life, you’ll have compassion for them because you’ll understand the prison they’re in. When a disconnect does occur, compassion is non existent and feelings turn to whatever your conditioning calls for. The more conditioning there is the more there’s a feeling of being disconnected, and what you’re disconnected from is Love.

No matter the circumstances, we only internalize our feelings and allow them to control our emotions when we come from a place to self-serve. The more the minds default setting is to self-serve, the more disconnected one feels from Love. Our connection to life is related to living in the present moment and how we rightly relate ourselves with that moment. The connection is because in the present moment the mind isn’t allowed to roam around in the past or future so by being present, you’re in full cooperation with what is, which puts you in cooperation with life. When you cooperate with life you’re connected to Love which connects you to life. So live now and live life, or not and live life in the imagined state of feeling disconnected…

Past Filter

Although what occurs always happens now, when it’s seen through the filter of the past you’re not with what’s actually occurring; you can’t be present when the past is being used as a filter to live now…

Living from past energy patterns isn’t something that jumps out at you, the patterns are a filter waiting for their opportunity. They don’t have to be glaring, nor do past energy patterns always manifest as totally destructive actions, but it’s destructive in the way it doesn’t allow you to be with what’s occurring right now; it takes you away from truly living life. You end up living the same life over and over, doing the same thing, getting the same results, basically it’s as if you’re stuck which only gets tighter each time the past filter is grabbed and brought into the present. You can’t be present for the present when the past is being used as a filter to live now. Much quietness will be needed to see the past filter and how it’s used.

Our past filtered energy patterns are very subtle and are deep, noticing this is the first step in one’s liberation from this energy. This energy is so controlling because it’s brought into the present and blocks the ability to live now; not many truly live in the moment of what’s actually occurring. Although what occurs now happens now, when it’s seen through the filter of the past one isn’t with what’s actually happening now. There’s so much past energy and only when there’s awareness of this can the past filtered energy patterns even begin to be broken. Watch the mind and how it constantly uses the past to filter living now. How you can tell something is being used from the past is by the label being applied to the present moment; when it’s all said and done, the present moment needs no past filter to be…

Delusional Reality

Understanding the nature of a delusional reality is one of the attributes of waking up, but it’s not the delusional world that you wake up from, it’s the delusional reality that runs your life…

What is the delusional reality that runs your life? A delusional reality manifest as you attach to your thoughts. The first thought about something is inconsequential, it’s the attachment to the second thought that forms the delusional reality. To understand the delusional reality there must be awareness of your attachments, desires, confusions, and the way your mind works; without this the puppet on string pattern prevails. Certain practices turn you inward to see this, if what you’re doing doesn’t turn you inward, you will remain a slave to your delusional state of mind. This is why nothing from the outside truly changes a person because the outside is part of the delusional reality. A delusional mind can’t fix itself, and as long as it’s reaching for something on the outside, it remains trying to fix itself and thus it remains delusional. Until this truth is seen, things will remain as they are because nothing is being done to change it.

You can only know what is known if there’s awareness of it. What this means is you have to develop mindfulness of what you’re doing as you’re doing it so there’s awareness of what’s being done. If you know what you’re doing as you’re doing it, it leaves little room for a delusional reality to control. Mindfulness is the single most important discipline to develop as it anchors you in the moment of what’s being done right now. Delusions only occur when you live in the story that there’s a past or future; mind made constructs keep the delusional reality in place. The present moment can be seen without making it a story (even though it passes as quickly as it arises) but the past and future can never truly be seen without a story; without the discipline to be present, the world is seen through a delusional state of mind thus reality is delusional…

 

Wanting Heart

Wanting from the heart is from the urging of the moment of what is as opposed to wanting from the head which is from a wanting to fulfill some Conditioned Mind desire of the flesh…

A want is a want is a want. There isn’t much difference between the want of a drink of alcohol, heroin, a piece of candy, sex, money, a certain social status, notoriety, enlightenment, and on and on. Why I say this is because whenever a want arises it means the mind has become agitated and it is looking for something to quiet the agitation; this means life is wanted to be in some other way. When this occurs and wanting is the base of a given moment, it makes what’s occurring in that moment arise from a mind that’s discontented.

By wanting the moment in some other way, what is being implied is that something is missing and is needed for completeness. If this wasn’t true there would be no wanting. There would be no wanting if one realized they already had everything that was needed for completeness. But want if that's what’s there, enjoy it and don’t want the wanting to be different. Just learn to understand it and be with it so you don’t want it to be in some other way. Want to your hearts content and then the wanting will not be from a mind that wants. It will be from the heart because when something comes from the heart it isn’t wanting because its comes from an urging of what’s there…

Unity Energy

Existence began as energy and out of that energy humanity arose. Although we may not look and talk the same we’re all from the same unity energy so our differences are only superficial…

The value of the mind settling is priceless because it allows you to be aware of the unity energy of life. Here’s a story to show what can happen. It’s a story about a pumpkin patch where everyday the pumpkins fight with each other. The gardener who takes care of them would keep the peace as best he could, but to no avail the moment he left, the fighting would commence. One day the fighting was really out of control and the gardener suggested meditation to the pumpkins. Although the pumpkins were reluctant, they did it. The fighting finally subsided as the pumpkins settled down and became quiet.

As this quietness took hold, one of the pumpkins noticed there was something on top of his head. As this was investigated it was noticed that it went to the pumpkin that it was just fighting with. As these two discussed this and investigated this further, it was discovered that all the pumpkins in this patch were connected. It was also understood that this meant they were all connected. The awareness of this which arose from the quietness of meditating, showed their bond. No longer did the pumpkins fight, matter of fact they become one of the best producing pumpkin patches of their time.

Substitute the pumpkins with people and it really isn’t that far fetched. Without something in place that allows the mind to settle, most of the drama that occurs in life wouldn’t happen. The only way anything new is allowed into your life is if the old isn’t taking up all of your minds space. Space is needed to see what’s truly going on and if there isn’t any nothing new will be seen and the old will continue to run the show. Our connection as humans isn’t seen because of all the noise going on. Unfortunately it will continue until people notice as the pumpkins did, that we’re all connected and created from the same energy…

Objectionable Expectations

Objectionable expectations are noticed when things aren’t as they are wanted, but even when things are in your favor, the Conditioned Mind still controls because of how it clings…

Let go and be free or hold on and suffer, those are the choices. Expect things a certain way, but when they’re not, it produces the next step in the process to react to the results of objectionable expectations. When there’s expectations there’s labeling, and when there are labels, there’s clinging; this is how an objectionable mind is developed. The more you label, the more there’s expectations which make you cling. Even when things work out the way they are wanted there’s still clinging, but it’s not noticed as a problem because the situation is as it’s wanted. The objectionable mind clings to everything that’s labeled, and it labels everything so there’s clinging to everything, but it’s not noticed because of the focus on the things objectionable.

Life is one continuous expectation; it’s the disappointing ones that most think their mind clings to. Most people are unaware of the moment by moment labeling process. When the mind quiets enough to understand this, the labeling process of everything as this or that lessens and so do the objectionable expectations. This results in a mind that is free of clinging to the effects of objectionable expectations; without these expectations it’s impossible to suffer…

Awareness of Energy

The quality of life in this form is determined by the awareness of your energy output. As this energy builds on itself, awareness determines what the base of your life will be…

It’s very important to have awareness of the energy you live by, it will either come from the heart or the mind. There will either be awareness of this or not. When there’s awareness of this, living from the heart naturally becomes the way you live. Energy builds on itself regardless of what it is. To me, this is the “Law of Attraction” as it has been revealed. When there’s awareness of energy, there’s stillness which determines life’s direction; life arises from this stillness. This isn’t a doing, 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 not being aware of this based my life with self-serving energy, and although I mostly got what I wanted, there wasn’t much satisfaction. This self-serving energy built on itself also and it doesn’t take a genius to see why my life prior to my shift was the way it was; the energy to self-serve manifested in the only way it could. What energy is in place will determine what manifests, there’s no way around this; you can only be what your energy is.

Sit with this awareness of energy and see how it builds on itself. Life doesn’t make it what it is, awareness makes it what it is. To a large degree we are all the creator of our own reality, and that reality will be determined by the energy you’re awareness of. Positive, negative, noisy, quiet, one of these will determine the direction of your life. It’s not up to the outside circumstances that determines this. Awareness of energy determines how what happens is dealt with, how it is built on, and the way future circumstances will be dealt with. You can only build on the energy in place and that’s determined by what your awareness is based in. The life you build is up to you, you alone are the creator of your reality because energy builds on itself…

Peace of Now

The only way you will ever be truly at peace is without the attachment that something other than this moment will provide peace. When this is understood so too will your peace be understood…

Everyone has attachments, no one goes through life without it, but attachment isn’t the real issue, the issues arise when the attachment becomes your controlling energy. A few years ago my mom was sick so I wrote the story of my mom not doing well. How it affected me is how I could have made it into an attachment, but there wasn’t attachment, I understood it was just what was happening. Since there are five siblings in my family, we all have a different attachment to my mom, none were the right or wrong one, they were just what each of us perceived.

Here’s why the controlling energy of attachment creates an issue. Someone posted how happy they were that in a few days they were going on vacation; this means right now they’re not happy. Although this seems innocent, it’s not because this simple statement blocks out truly living life and being at peace now. This is the issue attachment energy creates, it doesn’t allow you to be with the fullness of the life that’s actually occurring in the moment. It’s always the attachment to this or that. Fill in your own attachment, I will be at peace when______, whatever is added is the attachment energy that blocks your peace. The only way you will ever truly be at peace is without the attachment that something other than this moment will provide peace. When this is understood so will your peace of now be understood…

Impractical Tools

There’s an energy that occurs in life that keeps impractical tools in place without investigating them. The issue with this is how these impractical tools are passed on to others…

If there are impractical actions and reactions in your daily decision making process without investigation, there will be many decisions made without knowing what is truly practical. When these 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, impractical energy is followed simply because it’s in place. To the Conditioned Mind there’s no need for questions because it has all the answers. Saying I’m not there yet is just crazy, and it’s a created block that hampers the ability to live in a practical way. If you’re not there yet wherever there is, you will never get there. What amazes me is how people settle for a place just because it’s comfortable and someone else says it’s practical.

To me, it’s mind boggling how a person holds on to what is impractical and doesn’t even consider there might be another way to see things. What’s mind boggling about this is how this impractical energy keeps you in a self created prison that causes suffering; life doesn’t cause suffering the impractical Conditioned Mind does. Unless you’re willing to sit and allow the mind to settle, the impractical energy of the Conditioned Mind will remain in place and you’ll continue to use impractical non beneficial tools that cause suffering. Here’s the real issue with this, these tools are passed on to others and this makes it as though the blind are leading the blind…

Unwavering Resolve

A solid footing and strong roots are essential in trying times as well as in good ones because there will be test. And if an unwavering resolve isn’t firmly in place, the test will throw you for a loop out without hesitation…

The test of life will never cause defeat when an unwavering root system is in place. Standing on solid ground and having strong roots are essential in trying times as well as in the seemingly good times because the test will come regardless. How unwavering the roots are will determine how much can be withstood. Being on solid ground when the test comes sometimes seems as though they hit a breaking point, but an unwavering resolve to stay firmly rooted in truth will return you to your strong foundation. This occurs not because you’re strong, it occurs because you’re unwavering rooted, this provides the support needed in the midst of any test. 

Many things will test your resolve in life, but understand it’s not life doing it, it’s just the nature of how things are. The important thing is to have unwavering roots strong enough to bend but not break. Circumstances and other people’s belief will test you, without unwavering roots you will succumb to the pressure. It will be difficult to resist and it will be as though you become uprooted, but understand you are as strong and as resilient as your root system. Make it as unwavering as possibly so when a test comes your way, you may bend a bit, but you will have an unwavering resolve not to break…

Being Who You Are

The value of knowing yourself is priceless because it allows the mind to settle into who you are instead of needing to pretend to be something that you’re not…

One of the insights revealed to me is having the awareness of my own presence. What is meant by this is to be aware of who I am and not try to be who I am not. When my book was published I was thinking of ways to get its message to people. Just by the fact that it was written I knew there was a valuable message to share about how my view of life became different. Shortly afterwards I started writing and posting articles on social media sites. One day I was contacted by a site to write articles for them, I thought this was a great way to get my books message some exposure. After about six articles the admin of the site said people were contacting her about my articles, saying they were like teachings and asked if I could make them more inspirational. I thought about it and decided I couldn’t compromise the message revealed to me. I told her I wouldn’t change my style; I didn’t write another article for them.

It was important for me to stand my ground on what was revealed to me then and it’s just as important today. The value of knowing who you are is priceless because it allows the mind to settle instead of needing a pretending story. I don’t pretend to be this loving spiritual head in the clouds person; I am what I am. If there was such a thing as a spiritual labors union, I would be the head of it; I’m a blue collared spiritual person. I understand many things, but my feet are always planted where I am so if it’s not happening now it doesn’t really matter all that much to me. I’ve learned early on not to live between my ears trying to be something that I’m not. What this allows is to not have any pretending energy within myself and in the process just be at peace with who I am. Not everyone agrees with my style of writing or what I write, but at the end of the day it’s me who I’m with and I’m grateful there’s no reason to pretend to be something that I’m not…
