Light of Truth

When you’re aware that darkness is a made up story light takes its place. This light is a beam for the world and is always there, but it’s not seen because of the unawareness of darkness…

Without darkness everyone would view life through light which by the way is the doorway of harmony; because of darkness this isn’t seen. The view of darkness is made up by the energy of unconsciousness, this makes everything that happens in life seen through the unawareness of your darkness. Through this view truth or light is missed; this makes life about nothing in particular except the darkness that’s are formed by the Conditioned Mind.

Darkness is what makes the mind attach to thoughts and those attachments are the cause of the unaware thoughts that control your life. What’s factually happening is this, life just happens it’s not personal, it’s not about anything you think it is. It’s not about right, wrong, love, hate, good or bad, it‘s mostly about learning to understand your minds true nature of light and not being lead around by your made up darkness; whatever you happen to make it. When there’s awareness of this you will truly be a light to the world; a light that has always been there in the space of Now, but it was never experienced because of your darkness not allowing you to see this truth…

Selfish Mind Conflicts

When the selfish mind is in control you may think you have real conflicts, but the truth is the only thing there's a conflict with is the selfish mind wanting what it wants when it wants it...

There's so much conflict in our world and although it's all pointed outward, it’s the selfish mind that causes a conflict when it wants what is happening or has happened to not only be different, but to also want it to be in the way it thinks things should be. You cannot have a true conflict with anything but yourself regardless of what happens. I often sit to develop discipline. The other day I was sitting in quiet when the thought arose, how would I react if I was going to die? What benefit would fearing death have? Would it change what was happening? The only reason this would be considered a problem is because the selfish mind would want what was happening to be different and preferably the way it thinks things should be. I know this is pretty drastic, but this is the way it is with everything in life.

Someone made a remark to me that not being conflicted about something means I don't care, but the lack of conflict is because the selfish mind isn’t in control; the selfish mind is where all conflicts arise from. In the case with death, the cause of the conflict would be the selfish mind dying. Death is going to happen anyway at some point so the conflict is caused by not wanting it to happen; that will not stop it from occurring. The death analogy can be substituted with anything, if you’re honest with yourself this will be seen. When the truth of this is revealed it can have a deep impact on letting go of the selfish mind because it will be seen that it does nothing but cause conflict with itself; unfortunately because of ignorance many actually believe they need to be this way. Whether it's facing death, needing Now to be different or just about anything else you can think of, when the selfish mind is in control you may think you have real conflicts, but the truth is the only reason there's a conflict is because the selfish mind wants what it wants when it wants it...

Natural Mind Expansion

Being intelligent doesn't make you wise. Wisdom is something that occurs naturally as you learns to understand your own mind. With this understanding wisdom arises and goes beyond the intelligence of what you think...

Until you truly understand your own mind, not much will ever be different in your life. This won't happen because you don't want it to happen, it will happen because in order for things to be different it has to be understood why they are the way they are. Waking up is not something that one makes happen, it's something that occurs. How you will know that it has occurred is by the awareness you have that your mind was based to self serve and now it's based in stillness. Very simple to see this once it occurs, very difficult to see it if it doesn't. The key to a continued expansion is to know the true nature of your own mind.

One day it was revealed to me that at the core of all my issues was my own mind and nothing was ever going to be different in my life if there wasn't an understanding of this. I had to understand why I had to always be busy before I could be still; before stillness was experienced in my life I had to find out why there wasn't any. Stillness doesn't have to be attained for one to acquire it, all that's needed is to be aware of why it's not there. Once this occurs there’s a starting point they can be established and the process of naturally expanding the mind begins, but for this to occur it needs to be understood.

When it's said the world needs to different, it should be understood why it's the way it is. If a problem arises find out why the problem arose in the first place and therein lies the answer. Things will always be as they are and the only way they'll ever be different is when it’s understood why they are as they are. Once this is known what needs to be different already is because of the understanding of your own mind...

Higher Vibration Connection

A higher vibration is always waiting to be connected to. When we understand the stillness beneath all our stories we can stop, align, and connect with a higher vibration which is the essence of life...

We're not always aligned with the higher vibration that the Universe provides to us and this is our misfortune. It’s not that we can't always be aligned with it, but we have to do the things that will allow one to be connected to it. Our alignment is in relation to how much we hold on to the self who tries to control life, this control is thought based and although certain aspects of our life need to be controlled, it's the parts that are beyond our control which we insist on controlling, this is what blocks out our awareness to a higher vibration.

There's a part of us that's the self who is 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 process, this is the higher vibration self; this self can't be conceptualized. It's our vibration 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 grasp and make sense of; this is attachment to thoughts. Beyond thought is pure Universal Energy. It’s who we are before our existence in this form begins and when conditions no longer allow this form to exist. When we learn to just be and not attach to anything to make up the story of who we are (a thought) that’s when one will understand who they truly are; thoughtless, formless, pure energy, this is the state that leads to a higher vibration...

Treadmill Mind

The Conditioned Mind keeps you on a treadmill using the same mind to create and solve problems. A quiet mind allows you to get off the treadmill accepting what life gives as opposed to wanting it different…

When the mind becomes agitated, if the agitation is to be quieted the cause of it needs to be identified. An agitated mind can’t do this so you’ll need to get off the treadmill if there’s to be quiet. When it’s understood the problems you have are created by your own mind, it will also be known that the problems created cannot be solved with the same mind that’s creating them. Simply put, a mind that creates a problem cannot be used to fix the problem that it has created. An example would be a person who uses alcohol as an escape mechanism. At first it seems as though it provides the sought after release, but as time goes by it affects life in a way that it no longer provides the escape. It actually becomes the reason an escape mechanism is needed, but the person still uses the alcohol as the solution to escape the harm the alcohol is causing; insanity at it’s finest. The alcohol can be substituted with anything, what is used doesn’t really matter. How you get stuck on the treadmill of life is the point of this.

It’s the Conditioned Mind that keeps a person on the treadmill using the same mind to create and solve problems. I did this for years and today it’s not this way. It’s not that I have a different mind, but there’s a difference in the way it processes information. In a sense it’s different with the difference being there’s now quietness instead of constant agitations. What quietness allows is the awareness of the present moment and living and accepting what life gives as opposed to wanting it to be in some other way. Getting off the treadmill is the way it has to be if there’s going to be peace in your life…

Memory Phenomenon

Understanding the phenomenon of memory is very important in breaking the chains of suffering because it's the attachment to “I“ that wants to only remember what's pleasurable...

The phenomenon of how we remember things and constantly bringing them into the present is simply that, a phenomenon. Although this happens without it being realized, when it is realized it changes the way existence is viewed. The memory of how things truly are gets distorted in a way because they are viewed through the conditioning in place; conditioning that mostly manifested in constantly seeking pleasure. Think of this, when someone dies no one gets up and says the person was a SOB, what's usually said borders on making the individual a saint regardless if when alive the person was a SOB. This is the memory phenomenon in place and until it’s realized life is spent constantly seeking making up pleasurable memories; the mind doesn't like unpleasant memories so it makes up one's to remember things pleasurable. This is part of the survival instinct engrained in us. Those who remember painful events also use them to find something pleasurable, even if to just push them away, hence this is why one reaches outside themselves for comfort.

Nobody reaches for anything for any other reason but to provide comfort, in this comfort seeking there’s so much unconscious suffering. Comfort pleasure, pleasure comfort, these two go hand in hand and until this is understood they'll continue to cause unconscious suffering. Understanding the phenomenon of memory is very important in breaking the chains of bondage because it's the attachment to “I“ that makes one only remember what's pleasurable. Even to the points of its own destruction “I” seeks pleasure, just look in any rehab or detox. Every drug or drink of alcohol taken had the lure of pleasure associated with it or it wouldn't have be taken. Understanding this isn't limited to just those things, this goes for anything that's reached for. The mind defaults to what's familiar and it uses pleasure as it's lure. Until this is realized you will continue to use memory to make everyone a saint; at least that's what's said when they die...

Labeled Limits

Any label used to describe a path limits that path to whatever label is being applied. Judgements, concepts and beliefs are all labeled limits that block the awe inspiring magnificence the Universe has to offer…

The Universe needs no permission to do what it does. It only responds to things out of necessity, but it does so unconditionally, without thought. It doesn't label or form concepts or beliefs, it exist as it is with nothing added because it needs nothing, it's self sustaining. It creates, it destroys, it neither loves nor hates in the sense of emotions, but its beauty is awe inspiring and arises from a love that can't be described. It's pure energy and it is from this energy that we are created.

This is existence in its purest state. The moment this is labeled it loses it sense of purity. Humans apply all kinds of labels to life, but life needs no labels. Label whatever it is you think is needed, but understand it's derived from a concept made up by the thought “I” not life. The more “I” needs to label life the more conceptual it becomes and the more life's true essence is missed; even the label of no label is from “I”.

The place of no labels, concepts, beliefs, and non emotional attachment is one's true place of existence; it's in this place in the midst of the Universe that our true essence is. It's a place that is here, there, and everywhere, but not labeled as such. Stillness exist as life and if a label is needed apply it, just understand every label has a limit. Once something is labeled it creates a block, so be in the unlimited space of what is and be with all the Universe has to offer. All the beauty of the Universe is within each and every person, it is where everyone arose from, but only the label applied by “I” limits the awareness of the Universe's magnificence…

A Be-neficial Life

To live the most beneficial life there has to be alignment with love so this can happen. This is only an issue because through the Conditioned Mind there’s mostly alignment to self serve...

There is one very simple rule that allows a person to live a truly beneficial life and this rule is; learn to do what's necessary to be in alignment with love. If this rule isn't followed, it will be difficult to live a full and beneficial life, by beneficial I mean being an instrument of love. This isn't done by doing certain things, it's done by being a certain way which allows for this to occur; you can't love anymore than what's in your heart. Doing endless good deeds will not add one iota of love to your heart unless the good deed intentions are done from a base of a loving heart. With intentions of love, doing good deeds opens the heart opens and love fulfills its potential. This is not the conventional way of approaching life, but it is the way I have found that is the most beneficial for putting one in alignment with love.

The major block to living a beneficial life is learning through the Conditioned Mind to think in ways to self serve not to be. When you think like this, there's no time to be and think of others because you’re too busy thinking about yourself; so much time is wasted on thinking of and finding ways to satisfy yourself. Even if your journey is to help others there has to be awareness of the attachment that the self serving mind conjures up to make it about satisfying the self; there’s a very fine line between the self serving mind and the love serving mind, but with discipline the mind will settle so one can see the differences and stop doing what doesn't really benefit your life or the life of others. You can learn to just be, but the dilemma to this being is if all you’re thinking about is doing things that are strictly a benefit to yourself there won't be any room for being a benefit to others. If this is the rule you’re living life by, you won’t be doing what's necessary to be so there won't be alignment with love and life will not be lived to the fullest or be as beneficial as it could and should be...

 

Perfect As It Is

Most people consider life perfect if everything is as it is wanted so make all the changes you think you need, just understand you are trying to change what’s already perfect because life’s perfection is in as it is...

It's said that no one can have the perfect life, but everyone has the perfect life because it’s always as it is. If it’s only perfect when it’s as it’s wanted the saying is true because no one can have the perfect life as it will hardly be the way that you want it. But even if it was, that wouldn't mean it was perfect, it would just mean it's the way that you want it. The perfect life is life as it is because It can't be any other way except as it is.

This is where struggles are derived from, thinking if life was different it would be perfect. But how can something that is as it is be improved upon; perfection cannot be improved upon. When a perfect game is pitched in baseball, nothing will make it more perfect. If a basketball player makes ten shots that he tries, he is perfect. Now you can say the pitcher could have thrown less pitches or the basketball player could have made every basket without hitting the rim, but it would not have changed perfection as it is.

We look for all kind of ways to improve on life’s perfection, but regardless of what is done it doesn't change the perfection of the way it is. No outer circumstance can change the perfection of what is. This is the main reason people are in constant "seeking perfection mode" and use so many different things to try and attain perfection, but it’s never attained because perfection is as it is so to seek perfection is to want to change something which is already is. Life is always the way that it is and that's what makes it perfect. It cannot be altered in a way to make it more perfect because that means it wasn’t perfect to begin with. Be with the perfection of life as it is. Make all the changes you think you need, just understand you are trying to change what’s already perfect because life’s perfection is in as it is...

Truly Living

When the body is used as an anchor to remain present, you begin truly living your life. In this space you find true love, not a story of love, but the love of the present moment where nothing else exist...

There is no reason whatsoever that a person has to suffer in any way today because there is enough info available to prevent it, but this is a truth that one must find for themselves. No book, video, guru, religion, self proclaimed enlightened teacher, program: 12 step or otherwise, or anything else can show you truth, they can only point the way and that's it. I know today what I've always known and although I've been pointed in the same direction for years, it's message did not click with me until I was ready to see it thirteen years ago. It may not always be understood why I do what I do or say what I say, but if you knew what I knew, you would do what I do.

I see much needless suffering in the world around me (and I say it's needless) and that's even with those who proclaim they're awake. It doesn't take much to know whether one is truly awake, all that needs to be seen is where the attachments are and suffering will not be far behind. If you want to stop suffering, stop using the mind and learn to use the body. The body is always in the present moment, it’s why the breath is used in meditation, you can't take a past or future breath, you can only breathe now. When the body is used as an anchor to remain present, the mind made suffering dissipates and lo and behold you begin living your life in the only place it exist; where your feet are. In this space you find true love, not the story of love, but the love of the present moment where nothing else exist...

A Moment's Beauty

The beauty of life is in the newness of each moment. This beauty isn't observed by many because of the view developed by the Conditioned Mind, but this doesn't mean the beauty isn't there.

Our disillusionments come in many forms and they're all used to reinforce the disillusionment of “I”. It's like one big circle. The way the mind has been conditioned makes us perceive life as if we're on a merry-go-round; you can't get off it until you realize you are on it. Think about it, look and see how time is used and how fast it goes by. The days of the week are used like this, along with the work week. There are so many things used that keep us on the merry-go-round; look and see what it is that keeps you on the merry-go-round of the Conditioned Mind.

Our life becomes one task after another and we basically do the same things over and over. Our disillusionment is that this is the way it has to be, but this isn't so, it doesn't have to be this way. Every moment of everyday is different unto itself. You may make it the same because of the Conditioned Mind, but it's impossible for any moment to be duplicated. Once it's in the past it can never be repeated.

The newness of each moment can only be understood by a mind that is quiet enough to become aware of it. The burdened disillusionment is a result of our conditioned thinking. To get off this merry-go-round you must be free of this type of thinking, and to be free of this conditioned thinking, the newness of each moment must be understood. Nothing done yesterday or even one second ago has anything to do with right now unless it's made so. Enjoy the newness of life by living each moment unto itself. Or not and carry around the burden of each moment and stay on the merry-go-round; you can get off anytime you want to, but that will be up to you...

Reaching Addiction

The true addiction of humanity is in the need to satisfy a false self; this is the addiction, we’re all addicts. The things you reach for don't really matter, understanding why you reach does...

Reaching itself is humanity’s dependency regardless what’s reached for and the reason there is a failure rate and not a success rate in treating addiction is because the true cause of reaching isn't identified. When a person needs to reach for anything not just drugs, alcohol, or gambling, the reason why there’s reaching needs to be identified if there’s ever going to be freedom. The answer has been provided to me and it’s my obligation to share it. This isn't some ego trip, these answers are real. My writings explain are from my experience and why this reaching is so and what can be done to stop it. The reaching is based on an influenced Conditioned Mind that is formed and controls you as if you were a puppet on a string. Through ignorance most people are controlled by the Conditioned Mind until the day they die and far too many die before they are provided with an answer. The Conditioned Mind is in everyone; we’re all addicts we just reach for different things.

I’m only the instrument in all of this, but it‘s my obligation to get this message out to as many people as possible. A real answer has been provided to me with a practical solution to end the human condition of reaching (addiction), not by substituting one dependency for another, but by truly learning to be free in the present moment. The true addiction is in the need to satisfy a false self; that is humanity’s addiction. The things reached for don't matter, but why they are reached for does. Learn this truth because it’s only this truth that will ever set you free...

Light Energy

Light energy is naturally free flowing because there's no resistance, there's no trying to make it different than what it is. Darkness energy stops the flow because it's based in trying to manipulate what is...

Being aware of light energy at the precise moment it happens minimizes the darkness stories that are needed to make life the way you think it should be. Awareness stops the darkness stories of the way you think something should be and allows the light of the way it is, this becomes the beautiful view of the way it should be. After all wanting what is different is where all darkness discontentment arises from. When one is simply aware of light as it arises there isn't a need for a darkness story and selfish energy doesn't come into play as the love of your heart naturally becomes the beautiful operating energy of life.

Darkness energy becomes a created prison because it doesn’t allow for a natural flow of lights energy; you become entombed in the energy of the darkness. It's the Conditioned Mind that cuts off the light energy flow of as it becomes the energy of the lower nature of self centered nonsense. Why this darkness energy causes issue is because it bombards light with an unnatural energy flow and doesn't allow harmony. Light is naturally free flows because there's no resistance, there's no trying to make life different than what's there. Darkness energy stops the flow because it's based in trying to manipulate what’s happening so what's there is resisted to the point where the natural flow of what is energy is cut off. The only thing needed for liberation is awareness aware of awareness, there's no darkness energy here, there's just the energy of light...

Being Led Unconsciously

Thoughts will arise, but they don’t have to control you. If there isn’t awareness of your thoughts they will unconsciously be attached to which will lead you to automatically being led by them...

If there isn’t awareness of your own thoughts, there won’t be anyway of knowing how unconsciously led you are by them. Without this awareness you'll be unconsciously taken on an unconscious ride. Not that life does anything directly to anyone, but thoughts do arise and they determine what kind of ride you will be on. Awareness of your arisen thoughts is essential if you’re to not be unconsciously led by them. Thoughts are a natural part of life, they will arise, to me there's no way of controlling the thoughts that arise, but I have found that awareness of them allows for a sliver of space that can be used to determine whether or not the thought leads you or not; remember it’s the attachment to a thought that causes suffering not the thought itself.

The Conditioned Mind is cunning and unless there's some awareness of how much your being led by your thoughts, they will and this has to happen, lead you around as if you were a puppet on a string. So subtle is this that even if you are doing things that are labeled as good, if these thoughts aren't watched they will eventually control you; remember control is control regardless of what label is applied to the thought. This is why the Conditioned Mind is cunning because of its subtleness in using whatever it can to lead you. Thoughts will arise, but you don’t have to be lead by them. If there isn’t awareness of this, your thoughts will unconsciously be attached to which will lead you to automatically being led by them...

The Slightest Push

An awakening can be likened to a cart at the top of a hill, nothing else is needed than the slightest push to get it rolling, and it will just keep on building momentum until something stops it…

Once a cart is placed at the top of a hill and it’s pushed ever so slightly, it naturally begins rolling in the only direction it can go and its momentum builds without one ounce of exertion. It does take some effort in the beginning to get it going, but not much more than the slightest push; this is what happens when one wakes up from the sleep of unconsciousness. There’s not much that needs to be done for one’s awakening to expand, as a matter of fact most people don’t wake up fully because of trying to hard. If you are awake the push has already occurred so all effort is futile. Books, programs, videos, and whatnot make you knowledgeable, but none of it makes you anymore awake than the initial push.

This is one of the reasons I emphasis using the body as an anchor in the awakening process because it doesn’t take effort, it only takes being with what is actually here which is the present moment. All kinds of stories can be made up about what needs to be done, but it doesn’t expand the awakening one bit. Either you’re awake in the quietness of the present moment or you’re asleep in the noise of somewhere else. The slightest push reveals this truth and as with the cart nothing else is needed than the slightest push to get it rolling, and it will just keep on building momentum until something stops it…
