Hate is a Story Love is Natural

Hate isn’t somethings that’s needed to live our life, that is unless it’s the story one wants to make up. When hate is let go of and it releases the grip it has over you, love naturally becomes what grips you.

Hate is created, love is natural, so anytime a thought of hate is allowed to fester and become an action, our ability to give and receive love is compromised. In a state of hate there’s no way one can give or receive love, which is our true nature, because our created hate of whatever it is we are hating is blocking it. When we let go of the thoughts of our created hate, our focus naturally returns to love and hate relinquishes its grip because we aren’t giving it anything to adhere to.

Hate is not natural, it’s created by our delusional identity to a fictitious self; a self that sees things through a pair of eyes that wants everything to fit nicely into a created world, hate arises when something threatens that world. One hates what makes them think they’re going to lose something that makes their world right. Beliefs are formed that reinforce this hate and are lived by. All hate is self created, it’s not natural. Make up the story that there’s justified hate that’s needed to live by, but like I said its created to fit nicely into a made up world. Hate is not a requirement needed to live your life, unless that’s the story you want to make up. When this is realized and you stop living life through the energy of hate and love naturally takes it place, it is then that love becomes the base of your life, not because it’s created, but because it’s natural.

The Space of Silence

In the space of silence, the Universe is one’s guide and will manifest in ways for the betterment of all beings. In this space one isn’t swayed by anything and can remain on the spiritual path regardless of what’s going on around you.

It seems that it’s so much easier to be spiritually connected when one thinks things are the way that they’re wanted, but what happens when it changes and things aren’t as wanted? One’s whole demeanor can change instantly from being at peace to discontentment just by a person saying a certain thing to you. And here is the craziness of this, what the person says only changes your demeanor because it’s something triggered inside you, the deliverer of the trigger doesn’t really matter. Nothing can control you unless it’s allowed and it will only be allowed because it’s not known that it’s happening. The conditioned triggers are deeply embedded in the subconscious mind and the more history one has with something the deeper it’s embedded. These triggers are manifested in many different ways, but what they have in common is they cause one to suffer unknowingly.

Let’s say you’re at home in a good space and your spouse comes home from work in a not so good space, as soon as they walk in the door the energy in the room changes. If there isn’t awareness of this, a trigger will be activated within you and this encounter will probably end up in an argument. But when there’s awareness of this, one can remain silent (which is golden) and just be with the moment as it is and not feed someone else’s energy. Not wanting the moment different is key here and allowing it to be as it is doesn’t activate a response triggered by someone else. To me when the moment doesn’t need to be in some other way, no triggers are activated and one is truly free. In this space of freedom, the Universe is one’s guide and will manifest responses for the betterment of all beings. In this way one isn’t swayed by anything and can remain on the spiritual path regardless of what’s going on around you.

The Keepers of Our Reality

There are choices to what one’s reality will be, but only if it’s seen there are choices. Therein lies the issue because options are needed for there to be a choice and not many truly see them.

We are the keepers of our reality. For each individual, reality becomes the energy that’s given to the moment that’s occurring and this energy determines what our reality will be. I’m not talking positive or negative energy here, what I’m talking about is not labeling the moment that’s here and being with it as it is. There are three conventional choices, good: I want it to remain this way forever, bad: I want it different than what it is, and indifferent: it has no bearing on my life whatsoever. Can you see how any one of this three produce attachment and thus suffering. The good and bad are fairly easy to see, but you may ask what about indifferent, how is that attachment? To me it’s attachment because even seeing the moment as it is and saying it doesn’t affect me gives energy to a story. Everything affects everything because it’s all energy so when one can be with the exact moment as it is and not label it as good, bad, or indifferent, than that will be the energy of one’s reality. If this isn’t seen, your reality will be chosen for you and unfortunately you will be the keeper of this reality.

There are choices to what one’s reality will be, but only if it’s seen there are choices. And therein lies the issue because options are needed for there to be choices. This is why not labeling the moment as anything has value because it doesn’t lock you into the label and it gives you options. It allows for you to be with what’s occurring as it is and this allows it to pass and see it for what it is. Nothing last forever unless that’s the label which one applies and so the reality that one keeps is that of their label. Or not and experience reality as never before because there will be choices that weren’t there previously. This reality occurs for no other reason than it’s the reality that you see and the one you are choosing to keep.

Higher or Lower Nature

Life consist of a lower and higher nature and the one that’s most prevalent in your life is dependent on how much the master puppeteer ( I ) is in control. The more I controls, the more one’s lower nature will dominate.

There are two natures that one can live by, a lower one or a higher one, I know this now, but it wasn’t something I was always aware of. Nine years ago this changed because I become tired of being controlled by my lower nature, which to me is to be controlled by the senses. This control keeps one in captivity to Conditioned Mind Patterns that lead one around as if they were a puppet on a string. The only way one’s higher nature will be present is when these strings are cut. It’s very unfortunate because this isn’t understood nor is the fact of who the puppeteer is, and this puppeteer controls just about every human life form to some degree. The puppeteer is I and until this is realized, the strings will never be cut and I will continue its onslaught of control.

To me this is why it matters little who becomes President of the US, both are puppets controlled by I. It’s just the way it is, but this isn’t isolated to only the US, look around and if the mind gets settled enough you will see this is the way of the world. It’s run by I, the people in their assigned roles are just puppets, and until more people wake up, the lower nature will continue its dominance. At the lower natures core behavior is greed, hate, and delusion, and at the higher nature is love, kindness, and compassion, both of these can be added to accordingly. You can see the differences in the two natures and how one’s life would manifest outward depending on which nature was lived by. This is a very practical way of looking at this so it should be easy to see which nature is dominating your life. If it isn’t your higher nature only you can change it by cutting the strings of I, that is if it’s known I is in control.

The Thought of You Isn't You

Thoughts manifest as whatever energy they’re given and self serving energy makes them delusional. This delusion blocks one’s 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 the thought of whatever it is that’s occurring. When you understand the true nature of any thought you will see they are only energy, not who you are. They have 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 our thoughts, but if you investigate this, you’ll see this delusional fallacy. Thoughts occur like passing clouds, our attachment to them is what gives them the energy needed to become a delusional story, an outright lie.

Look at why you think you’re your thoughts. Freedom from attaching to your thoughts 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 your thoughts. Even then you may not know who you are, but by knowing who you aren’t 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 will be set free.

Life's Meaning

The search for meaning to one’s life is what keeps meaning from being revealed because when searching it means the mind is busy. Only a settled mind reveals the true meaning of life.

One will never find the meaning to their life alone, it will only be through the love of others that it will be revealed. Part of the problem of the endless search for meaning to one’s life is it’s thought the answer is locked up in some safety deposit box inside you and it will be unlocked by reading another book, running around aimlessly trying to save the world, some self help method, or attending a program of some sort, but meaning will only be revealed when it’s not looked for, at least this has been my experience. The search itself is what keeps meaning from being revealed because when searching, it means the mind is busy. Only a settled mind reveals meaning, and it will be seen in the love that others have for you.

Imagine if there was no one who loved you, it would be the loneliest way one could ever exist, and without love there’s no true meaning to anything whatsoever. How could there be if one is alone? It’s not my responsibility to save the world and run around being so busy that I don’t have time for stillness. Stillness is vital because it’s in stillness that one is guided to connect with all beings. I spoke to someone on the phone yesterday for the first time and I never want to lose that connection with people because this type of connection is at such a deep level. In this connection is where loves energy intertwines and it’s in this energy that the meaning of life is revealed because in the energy of love, we are one.

Changing the Channel

The only way to change the channel 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 you’re watching a rerun.

Watching TV is rare for me, but the other night I caught myself sitting in front of the boob tube, catching the last half hour of a program. When the program was over I began channel surfing, looking for something to watch, 20 seconds on one channel, 10 seconds on another 15 on another, than another and another, you get the picture, how quick to change the channel, without hesitation, but isn’t it amazing how we stay on one channel when it comes to the mind. We’re so reluctant to change the channel even though nothing is truly on. Actually what’s mostly on are reruns, yet we’ll watch the same channel (thought) over an over. It’s as if we’re stuck on one channel 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 channel will be very difficult, not impossible, but difficult. The only way to change the channel 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 you’re watching a rerun. It may be a rerun using some fictitious name, but it’s still a rerun. 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 channels. The issue is you can get so comfortable watching the reruns that it’s not realized the channel needs to be changed, and this realization will only occur if you have a program in place that’s worth changing to.

Light is Love

The Conditioned Mind is grounded in darkness and the world is the way it is because not enough people see the light. The light is always there, it just needs to be noticed so one can turn towards it.

All light has transforming properties to it, that’s why when one sees the light, they’re transformed. Look at a plant, it begins as a seed, it has potential, but it’s still only a seed. You can put it in soil, water it and give it all the nutrients possible, but without a source of light (energy) the transformation from seed to plant will not occur. This transforming light is the source of most of life, there are exceptions to this rule as with deep sea creatures or those in caves, but for the most part it is light that transforms. Go into a dark room and turn on the light, there’s an instant transformation of the room. The walls come alive with color, the furniture and design of the room are also intensified. Without the light the room still exist, but its vibrance is hidden.

When one wakes up to experience this hidden vibrance, it’s the lights energy that transforms just as it is with a plant or a room. You can be in the dark your entire life, but once there’s light, the darkness is gone. It may return somewhat because of one’s conditioning, but it will never be as dark as it once was, it can’t because there will always be some light. This light is truth revealed, (one’s internal energy of love) and it’s impossible to consciously turn it off. As stated before it will turn off only because of one’s unconscious conditioning, but this light is always on beneath the conditioning because it’s the light (the source) of our existence and the true essence (love) of who we are. The Conditioned Mind is grounded in darkness and the world is the way it is because not enough people see the light, but the light is always there, it just needs to be noticed so one can turn towards it.

Believing Your Lies

There are many lies that are believed which keeps one entrapped to the lies and if these aren’t exposed at least to the point where it’s realized this is occurring, one’s life will mostly be lived as a lie.

Believing our lies is what gets a person in trouble. Thinking the grass is greener on the other side is one of these lies and until it’s seen this grass also has to be mowed, one will continues to believe this. If you think when a certain thing happens you will be set, you will be sadly mistaken even if this thing comes to pass. This is very subtle to see and as one clings to this mind set of needing life to be a certain way, the lies are reinforced. Case in point would be something as simple and seemingly innocent as playing the lottery. Here’s how this reinforcement works. There’s the lie of I that first makes one think if life is a certain way you will have it made; it’s the answer to your prayers. So you buy a lottery ticket just because the jackpot is a hundred million dollars. This seems innocent, but make no mistake, it is not. This is a reinforcement of I because you of I wanting things different and it keeps one in their self centered prison.

There’s nothing wrong with the tool of money in and of itself, but whatever the thing is that makes a person think life would be better if this or that happened, puts them in the chains of bondage to I. Granted a hundred million dollars would make one’s life different, but different doesn’t mean it will necessarily be better. The moment one thinks better, it means one wants the present moment different. There are many lies that are believed which keeps one entrapped to the lies and if these aren’t exposed, one’s life will mostly be lived as a lie. Money is only one, anything can be substituted for money. Don’t take my word on this, investigate this and see the lies you’re clinging to, or not and remain in bondage to the lies that you’re keeping in place as truth.

Truth Just Is

The main thing to understand about truth is this, you will know what you see is truth when there isn’t a story needed to define it nor is it the result of any doing on your part. Truth arises from stillness and just is.

The point of yesterday’s post “Stop Thinking” arose from my experience of searching for something for most of my life, but not really knowing what I was looking for. Today I understand what I was looking for as truth, but it’s not a made up truth that is mostly used by people to make themselves feel better, it’s a truth that arises only when the mind settles. This is difficult to explain because of the way one is conditioned to understand what truth is. Truth realistically can’t be defined. If you define it, it’s made up. Truth is truth as love is love and God is God, no definition truly defines any of these; they’re basically one in the same.

One does not find truth by a doing or making up a story of what it is. Truth is only revealed when the mind settles. In this settling what was previously hidden by Conditioned Mind distractions becomes known, but not known in the sense where it needs to be defined. I don’t know what happened to me nine years ago, but I know I begin noticing the lies that I lived by, and the more known these become, the more peace I experienced in my life, and as a result of this, the more peace there is in my life, the less stories (lies) have to be made up to live by. Although I never tell anyone how to live, I know the way I write touches on arrogance to some people because of my assuredness with what I write about. A person’s ego will not relinquish its control without a fight, so someone’s view of me really has nothing to do with me. When the ego deems something as a threat to its very existence, it acts accordingly. The main thing to understand is you will know truth when there isn’t a story needed to define it nor is it the result of any doing on your part, it just is.

Stop Thinking

There’s no path, program, or way that can enhance life because life doesn’t need enhancement, life is life. If life isn’t accepted exactly as it is, the I attaches it’s story to what it thinks will make it enhanced.

I was in a discussion with someone yesterday about whether or not belonging to a program is a choice. This is part of how someone responded in the discussion: “I choose to belong to a program like I choose to workout or kiss my wife or walk the dog … because all of these activities contribute to my life … and you telling me what is “truth” whether it’s seen or not, is just plain arsey” I, I, I. The word arsey had to be looked up, lol. I’ll touch on this as it has been revealed to me, but please before you respond, sit with it first. Because of my experience this is what’s seen and try to understand this point, the bondage to I is very subtle and whatever one attaches to that makes you think it will enhance your life, it’s only I that makes you believe this. I’m not going to mention specifics here because every path is only a pointer, but nothing, no program or person’s way should be attached to, they can be investigated to see the truth they reveal, but if it becomes “your so called way” it’s only your I that’s attached to it and it now becomes your prison (bondage).

There’s no path, program, or way that can enhance life because life doesn’t need enhancement, life is life. If life isn’t accepted exactly as it is, the I attaches it’s story to what it thinks will make it enhanced. Everything in life is a pointer to make you look within and as long as there’s one iota of I attachment, something will be reached for out there and one’s own magnificence will never manifest; it can’t because I is blocking it. Please see this and basically just stop thinking, period. Get very very still so there’s no I story. Thoughts come and go, live life as it is and don’t make it into something that it’s not because it doesn’t need to be any other way. Don’t make it someone else’s way, or a programs way, make it totally your way, but that will only happen when I doesn’t attach to any other way but what comes from within oneself.

A Noisy Mind is Unpredictable

One day St. Peter and God we’re discussing the current state of humanity and what to do about it. St. Peter suggested maybe another great flood was the way to go. God replied, we don’t have to do anything, they (humans) are destroying themselves.

Learning to sit to give one’s mind a lot chance to possibly settle and see things in a different light will probably be the most difficult thing one will ever do, that is if they even do it. The first step is to become aware that sitting is needed, this in itself is a huge break through in breaking free from Conditioned Mind Patterns that control just about every aspect of one’s life, mostly these patterns remain in place until the day one dies without any awareness whatsoever. Unconsciousness is the norm in our society and if you just look around without judging or labeling, you will notice this, and if it really resonates with you, a commitment will probably be made instantly to start sitting.

A noisy mind is scary because it’s unpredictable, there’s no rhythm or reason behind the things that are done when one is unconscious. From the Roman Empire, all wars, murder, rape, abuse, slander, hate, greed and whatnot, these are all the result of a noisy mind. Look at yourself to notice your own noise and see if this isn’t so. The scary thing is nothing will change until something is put in place that will allow the mind to settle. We already have all the resources and money for poverty and starvation to end, yet it’s still a huge part of our world. Why is this so? We have two people running to be the leader of the USA, but it will not matter who wins because both are unconscious, so nothing will really change. Maybe this is the way it’s suppose to be, I’m not here to say it is or it isn’t, but when one wakes up from their unconscious sleep and the noisy mind settles, what is seen is the love in their own heart, but unfortunately this makes one aware of the lack of love in others due to still being a sleep. Maybe starting over isn’t such a bad idea.

Lead Us Not into Temptation

Temptation only arises because I wants to satisfy some pleasure it’s making you believe is needed, and it will win out every time until there’s awareness and discipline to stay out of the so called lions den.

The old saying if you don’t play with fire you can’t get burned is so true when it comes to being tempted. If you can stay out of the lions den you will remain safe. It’s so important to not put yourself in harms way when it comes to temptation, but it’s done because the way most minds are conditioned, there’s a lack of awareness and discipline to stand up against temptation for a long period of time. I see this in myself although very slowly my conditioning that attaches to I is losing its grip. There’s so much of our make up associated with temptation that one should sit with this to see how much control it really has over you. Why this is so is mainly because of the temporary pleasure that’s gotten from giving in to the temptation. Food, alcohol, drugs, sex (alone or with someone) gambling and so on, many things are used to satisfy the sense pleasure and if there isn’t awareness of this, it will be difficult not to get pulled around by the temptation.

For myself, I was controlled my entire life because of never having the awareness or discipline to stay out of the lions den per se, so in essence I was always in harms way. Of course satisfying I is at the root of this and whenever a temptation is given in to initially it feels good, but it only last until the mind that told you to give in to the temptation poses the question why did you do that. It has taken a few years to finally stop giving into temptation and it’s only because there’s the awareness of I wanting pleasure. Grab that cookie and see how long the satisfaction last, by the way sugar is as addictive as cocaine, maybe more so. The point of this isn’t to say the pleasures of life can’t be enjoyed, just watch who is attaching to them and why. See if you are putting yourself in harms way which reinforces I to remain in control. If this is done you just may be able to stay out of the lions den and lessen the control I has over you so you can truly live life happy, joyous, and free. Free from what? The alluring temptation of the control of I.

The Greatness of Others

Greatness is measured by how one helps others to see their own greatness. Even if you possess the whole world your own greatness won’t arise until you touch someone to see the greatness in themselves.

To me there’s only one reason for my existence and it’s why I post my writings, it’s to assist others in recognizing their own greatness. There’s nothing more to it, there’s no other reason to write except for this. If one isn’t assisting others in establishing their own greatness then you’ll be stuck in trying to help yourself establish your own greatness, and if you look around you will see there are plenty of people already doing this and the results is why the world is in the state that it’s in. It matters little what anyone achieves in life for themselves, but those who are truly great assist others to discover their own greatness. This is what all the great masters did and do, they assist others in reaching the potential of their own greatness, but assistance can’t be done if there’s one iota of selfishness involved. You can only give away what is within yourself.

A person may achieve great worldly success and there’s nothing wrong with this, but if others aren’t being reached out to so they can see their own greatness what good is it. You may have great wealth and notoriety, but if there isn’t at least one person who has seen their greatness because of being tied into what you do, life will remain only as a shadow of your own greatness. To me it seems as though life dictates if one lives in the shadow of greatness or if one discovers their own innate greatness, but either way it means nothing until there’s assistance in helping someone from there own shadow of greatness into the greatness of who they truly are. Sit and visualize this and it will come to pass and what will come to pass has nothing to do with your greatness, but it does have everything to do with the greatness of someone else.

Desires Energy

When one isn’t looking to derive pleasure from an arisen desire, the desire loses its control and without being controlled by desire, one is able to be with what’s actually in front of them.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with desire in the sense that it’s good or bad, but because of desires nature, the mind gets pulled into a view of whatever desire arises and one loses touch with what’s in front of you. Desire can be draining because of the energy it needs to remain active. It’s one of the reasons why after the desire runs its course, there’s some guilt and remorse that follows. Giving in to desire takes a lot of energy, its an energy of a lower nature and what I mean by this is it can’t sustain itself, it needs constant reinforcement because the self of desire is never fulfilled. Love on the other hand is just the opposite, it’s of a higher energy because it needs nothing to sustain itself. It’s neither draining nor does it need reinforcement because it arises from the stillness of the Universe just as everything does. Think about it, everything arises from the energy of stillness and hence that’s where it returns, except plastic, lol.

Fulfilling a desire that arises is very satisfying or it wouldn’t be so enticing, but because of the nature of desire the fulfillment doesn’t last and more energy needs to be spent when another desire arises. These desires usually occur one right after the other, some are more glaring than others and some are subtle, so it’s difficult to really notice all desires. The glaring ones seem to have more of an affect on one’s life than the subtle ones, but make no mistake, desires energy is all the same and it’s only there to satisfy I. I have found by not attaching to results it really helps in not being overcome by desire, as is the case with my writings. I write and that’s the end of it, it’s what’s in front of me so it’s what I do. When I’m not looking to derive pleasure from an arisen desire, the desire loses its control and without being controlled by desire, I’m able to actually be with what’s in front of me.
