Life's Purpose

Only when there’s mindfulness of the present moment is life’s true purpose fulfilled because in the moment there’s no Conditioned Mind nonsense to block the Universe from using you for its betterment…

For me, life is meaningless only to the point where I make up a purpose so it’s the way I think it should be. Look at all the so called unfortunate people in the world that need my help, to me anyway. Who would I be doing this for, them or to satisfy my purpose? If we all lived in a state of abundance and there was no one less unfortunate than me (in my mind anyway) what would my life’s purpose be? I’m not saying don’t help others, but does it need to be made into a purpose or can it just be something to do without adding a label to it?

I guess life has purpose, but whatever that is it isn’t what one makes it out to be and it doesn’t really matter what that is because it would only be done to fulfill some inner lack. Life has its own intentions and purpose and when the mind is quiet there can be alignment with it. But when there’s living for a self created purpose, one is in alignment with something the Conditioned Mind makes up, not life. Only when it’s realized to be mindful of the present moment is life’s true purpose fulfilled because in the moment there’s no time, days, years, decades, centuries, or whatever else the Conditioned Mind uses to block the Universe from using one for its betterment. The only thing needed for this to occur is to be still. Once there’s stillness you can be used as the Universe sees fit for its betterment, not to fulfill some Conditioned Mind purpose…

Security of Silence

The energy that unites and draws humanity together is the energy of silence. Because of the security of this space others are attracted to it. It’s the one place where there’s unity simply because there’s security in silence…

It’s very important to be secure in the energy of silence so people know there’s a place to turn to. Many people read my articles and it’s expected they will be there, I don’t mind this because of what has been revealed to me; I’m grateful for this energy. Everyone needs a place where they know they can go for security from the unconscious world. It does matter where you go for this security, if you go to a place that’s used as a distraction it may feel like security, but it won’t be. If you get lost in something menial, the day will go by simply because time waits for no one, but if you’re spending the same day in the state of awareness you will become secure in the energy of silence and people will turn to you.

Don’t be concerned with what others think about you, just be secure in what you know as silence energy and let no one take that away. Being secure in the energy of silence in a world that’s mostly based in “I” (ego) and this will allow others to also be secure which is needed for any transformation to occur. The unity that draws you to someone is the silence energy that becomes a part of humanity. Life is an open experience and if you’re not learning from it you most likely have your mind made up already what you think it’s about. When you truly see these made up stories aren’t needed they fall away; this falling away allows silence energy to arise. When you’re in this space others are attracted to it. It’s the one place where there’s unity of all humanity and it’s simply because of there’s security in silence…

Intention of Life

Life has its own intention and when the mind is quiet enough you’re in alignment with it, not to satisfy a self created made up intention, but strictly for the betterment of the Universe…

You do what you do because the Conditioned Mind tells you what to do. You wake up in the morning and the day begins. You do whatever it is that you do and around sixteen hours later it’s time to go to sleep so you can do it again tomorrow. We say tomorrow, but the reality of life is it’s one continuous journey, there aren’t really any breaks in it. Time, days, years, decades, centuries, are all made up concepts. They’re needed to the extent of establishing some structure in life, but we hold on to them way to much; actually they’re allowed to control life.

I’m not saying nothing matters, but does anyone living really know the intent of life and what truly matters? Life’s intention is relatively unknown, sure we can make things up and as a species we’re actually very good at it. Intentions can be made up about helping others, or loving others, raising a family, being kind, awakening to a made up intention, working on this or that, or whatever it is that‘s used to justify existence, but the bottom line is one day just like that and without permission, BANG existence ends. In the blink of an eye it’s over and whatever it is that’s used to make up an intention is let go of it…

Created Mental Structures

The mental structures that are created to form your identity of self are actually the very thing that blocks you out from being in the space of your true self…

Hold on to your degrees, roles, wealth, social status, and an array of many other labeled things; you think this self is who you are. These created mental structures are nothing more than a story and none of them are truly who you are. Whatever you do in life only matters to the extent in how it allows you to love. An individual’s so called success means little except to the created mental structure that labels its so. Ok, so you’re a doctor, lawyer, school teacher, psychologist, life coach, athlete, author, spiritual guru, or whatever label you think you need to apply to make you into something, except what is created is only a mental structure of you. You are the stillness beneath any label that’s applied regardless of the story you tell yourself.

If this is seen, space is created that’s allows awareness of this so you can remain in the space of stillness. There’s so much attachment to the labeled mental structures that this space is entered very seldom; matter of fact it’s non existence in most lives. Created mental structures are incessant mind noise. This is the never ending attachment to form; an identity to self that begins at birth as soon as one is given a name. There’s nothing inherently wrong with forming this identification until there’s no more space to be your true self, beneath all the attachments. We spend most of our life unconsciously forming an identification and wrestling with our true self. There’s mostly unawareness of this, that is until there is. Once there’s awareness of this space you will spend as much time as possible here because when you’re not in this space it results in creating the mental structure of someone who you are not…

Mental Structures

Wisdom arises when one is fully mindful because the distractions of the unwholesome mental structures fall away. It’s in being fully aware of this that the mind settles and allows you to live without distractions…

There are mental structures of the mind that arise in each moment, they are wholesome, unwholesome, and neutral. The first is the unwholesome mental structure, this would be anything that leads to suffering. Wholesome mental structures are those that lead to peace and joy. The wholesome ones don’t need a belief to be, they just need to be investigated to see the truth of their wholesomeness. The third mental structure is probably the most difficult one because it’s based in non judgement. It’s neither wholesome nor unwholesome, it’s neutral. It arises for everyone in the present moment and its function is to just see what is. This mental structure doesn’t interpret what arises, nor does it attach to it. Think of seeing a stranger on a platform at a train station, without judging there’s simply no attachment and neutral remains the mental structure of the moment. Once there’s judgement the mental structure of the moment changes.

Unwholesome mental structures arise and are attached to and although there is mindfulness of this to a degree because it is happening, it’s labeled and thus attached to for the most part unconsciously. It’s the focus of these mental structures that determine their outcome. Being fully mindful allows you to see, but without needing a label. Being neutral allows you to recognize (perceive) but not necessarily be fully mindful. Wisdom arises when you’re fully mindful because the distractions of the unwholesome mental structures fall away. It’s in being fully aware of this that the mind settles and allows you to live without distractions. Wisdom isn’t something learned, it arises when you’re disciplined enough to remain fully mindful in the present moment more often than not…

Truth of Lie Mind State

The mind may seem complex, but it’s really very simple to innerstand. It can be split into two mind states, truth or lies and everyone who is alive will be guided by one or the other…

There are a lot of things that goes on that determines what mind state you will be guided by; when it’s broken down you’ll be guided by either truth or lies. To me everything that happens is the result of previous conditioning; the results of living in a state of true or lies are vastly different. This isn’t to apply a label that one is right and one is wrong, but if investigated it can be seen how truth produces results aligned with love, kindness, peace, harmony, joy, and lies aligns you with results of anger, greed, hate, unhappiness, discontent and so on. I had a mind state of lies for many years and this resulted in much suffering of feeling isolated and alone most of the time. As a result of this I used many different things to try and not feel this way, but to no avail because not matter what the mind state of lies would always return.

Some years ago I began innerstanding the different results of these two mind states and started developing certain things that put me more in line with truth. A mind based in lies is selfish in nature and produces selfish results; desirable results if you’re based in the lie of the material world. A mind of truth has no selfishness to it and the results are obvious. This doesn’t mean the lie mind is gone for good, but it does lessen to a large degree and hence there’s very little feeling of isolation or hate. If the difference of these two mind states aren’t seen it seems the mind state of lies controls more; it’s because the lie is influenced by the material world. Even though by being alive you are part of the world when you finally wake up what is seen is you don’t have to be a slave to the selfish mind state of the lie…

Beneficial Thoughts or Not

You will go through life with two kinds of thoughts, those that are beneficial and those that are not. If you want to understand the difference your mind will have to settle enough to observe your thoughts…

Watching your thoughts is simple, but it’s not easy and will be the hardest thing you will ever do. If it can’t be distinguished what the difference is between a beneficial and non beneficial thought, it’s more likely the non beneficial ones will remain as your default thoughts. This is because whatever you frequently think about and ponders upon, that will become the inclination of their thoughts. Most people are taught to cultivate thoughts that are non beneficial because mostly what’s developed is based in fulfilling self serving desires. Developing a true discernment of your thoughts is what’s needed for the beneficial thoughts to overcome the non beneficial one’s, if there isn’t observations of your thoughts, discernment will not occur. This is one of the main reason many remain unconscious with non beneficial thoughts.

Watch your thoughts, don’t label them, don’t resist them, just observe them. See them arise and fall away away, wise restraint is our practice. It’s at the heart of our practice, the wisdom of saying no; see what arises with discerning wisdom. The questions to ask are what’s helpful, what’s necessary? What are the thoughts that you’re investing in? Do they further enforce I? Make it that the mind of this great being (you) will not move from what’s beneficial…

Wanting More

While you’re busy making plans life happens. If you’re not careful most of your life will be missed because you’ll be too busy wanting more to enhance life as opposed to living it as it is…

The only thing that makes a person think wanting more will enhance life is their own conditioning; until this is realized this conditioning will keep you wanting more. This searching for wanting more seems to be continuous for most, this means most are missing what life truly offers. If a person is alive life will be experienced, but ask yourself is your life being fully lived or are you under the spell of your own Conditioned Mind that makes you want more to enhance life. If this is the default setting of your mind (unfortunately it is for many) so much of life will be missed because you‘ll constantly in a state of wanting more. This is a mind agitation that keeps the search for more in place which doesn’t allow any contentment with what’s actually taking place.

Life is never personal, it just continues on regardless of what happens. Humanity has become its own worse enemy mostly because of always wanting more instead being content with what’s there. Grab more of whatever you want, but except for a few brief moments your contentment will be fleeting. Sit and visualize having all the riches of the world and being the most intelligent person who ever lived and see what this really changes in your life. It will only be a matter of time before you will want more because regardless of what you have or what’s going on if there isn’t some level of contentment with the way things are, life will constantly need to be different and the search for more of what one thinks will make life better will make discontentment and wanting more the norm…

Masked Comfort

When your comfort is pursued from the outside, it’s only a mask to keep you from knowing that your comfort can only come from within. Look within or you will always be without…

To be awake is to stop using something from the outside to provide comfort. This is very difficult to see because of the way we have been conditioned. Alcohol is something that is used by billions of people for comfort, but what if it wasn’t available what would be used? How about food, sex, working out, getting ahead in life and so on, these are all on the outside, but the need for comfort is on the inside. So why do we constantly go outside to find internal comfort? Find this answer and you‘ll discover a peace never experienced before. Even the so called spiritual journey is on the outside. The ability to look within gives the feeling that you will never be without.

The only way this truth can be revealed is by developing a mind quiet enough that allows this truth to be seen from within. I talk to many people about this as they are smoking a cigarette or are in the grip of some other form of dependent behavior, and they just don’t see how destructive their own behavior is. We can’t see our own unconsciousness because of our Conditioned Mind.

We are dependent on outside things to fill our inner discomforts. Truth revealed is ignorance removed. The world of outside comfort is a world of delusion. When you’re quiet enough to look inside and your reaching subsides, it will be innerstood how much you have been controlled by delusion. Probably for the first time you’ll be able to cut the strings that have been controlling you like a puppet on string. You will either control your reactions to life or they will be controlled for you by outside things…

Attaching Labels

When your existence is based on the labels that you or society attach to, it blocks your ability to reach your creative potential and locks you into the identity of whatever label is attached to…

From the time existence in this form begins there are many different labels that are taken on. Some are temporary and some last your entire existence, but regardless of what label is used at any particular time, it’s only a label, it’s never who you truly are. It can and is made into who you think you are, but this is the great delusion of life because it blocks the ability to see things beyond the label.
The first label taken on is of a son or daughter with a name attached. From there the surface existence expands as does the labeling as school is attended and certain attachments are developed. There are labels associated with athletics, intelligence or seeming lack of, hence the label of the class clown; this labeling continues for the rest of your life. High school, college, occupation, spouse, parent, social status, and on and on, it’s a label that always defines what’s on the surface which blocks your true essence from being known.

Constant labeling caused much difficulty in my life because the labels were always associated with a role and with this surface role taken on the ability to ever get in touch with my natural creative energy was virtually impossible. This creative energy is the I AM beneath the surface that allows life to be as it is, not as the label the Conditioned Mind conjures up and makes you think this is who you are. Nothing from the surface will ever allow your creative potential to be reached because from there a label will always be applied, but and this may be the most important but of your life, if for some reason you become aware that these attached labels are nothing but an illusion, it will be at this point the surface labels can be let go of and the true potential of life becomes what’s at your core with no attached label needed…

Inner Beauty of God

The beauty of God is the beauty of all creation. When we know ourselves we know God and when God is known our inner beauty is revealed…

The created cannot be separated from their creator so we are as beautiful as the entire Universe. Know this truth and know the vastness of the unlimited beauty and love of God. You are the only limit to knowing how beautiful you truly are; this is the eternal energy of which we are all created. To know this is to know God. If you’re to ever experience your true inner beauty you’ll need to innerstand what your limits are and how they can be overcome. At this point you’ll be able to tap into your birthright of Universal Love and not allow your limits to block you from the beauty of your creator and thus the beauty of yourself. The beauty of God is the beauty of all creation and it is where we are all from and who we truly are…

Giving Everything Its Freedom

Enlightenment doesn’t make you free, Enlightenment is you giving everything its freedom. The more this is adhered to the less chance there is of returning to some previous state of inner discontent…

Years ago as my day would begin, at some point I would become discontented and reach for something to quiet it. I would be satisfied for a little while become discontented again reach for something, be satisfied again. Over and over this cycle was repeated and basically this controlled the way I lived my life. The objects mean little except in the fact that the more destructive the thing reached for is the more it affects life in a negative way. This is going on today for millions of people, it’s why I have such a passion to get the message of what happened to me out to as many as people as possible; because it doesn’t have to be this way. Young, old, male, female, ethnic backgrounds, not to many people aren’t affected by this cycle; this is the puppet on the string cycle. The origin of the discontentment needs to be innerstood if this cycle is to be halted. Its origin is the self serving mind which keeps a person entrapped to the self serving mind.

Imagine this, for forty nine years my life was spent in this cycle, but it isn’t this way today. It doesn’t mean the cycle doesn’t happen, but just the awareness of this fact is so freeing; its so important to remain aware of this fact. I have no idea what others have gone through in their life so it matters little if what I see is what someone else sees. The important thing is to know that it was my own mind that created the cycle that kept me discontented for far to many years, and its not enslaving me the way it did. I have learned many things in the last few years and one of them is to not compare my life with anyone else’s. Whatever someone sees I may or may not see, but regardless what is seen is through the view the universe has given me. What I have found as a valuable innerstanding to keep me from returning to my previous cycle is “Enlightenment doesn’t make me free. Enlightenment is me giving everything its freedom.” The more I live by this the less chance I will have of ever returning to my previous state of discontentment…

Reaching Addiction

Regardless of what occurs in life nothing makes a person reach for alcohol, drugs, or anything else. It may seem like it does, but only the Conditioned Mind makes you reach for anything…

What happens in life happens, good, bad, or indifferent, but as you allow what happens to control you, a void is created and this is why the need to reach for something occurs; this is the reason everyone on this planet is an addict to a degree. Most just don’t use many of the devastating things as alcohol, drugs, gambling, cutting, and so on to fill their created void.

If you really want your reaching addiction to end, the real issue needs to be addressed and that is stop creating the void and the reaching addiction will be no more. Until this message is addressed, your reaching we never end. People will continue to die and suffer because of the ignorance of those in control of the information being put out to the public. I may begin working on my next book and the title: The Ultimate Truth: Freedom From the Self Centered Perspective. This is the only truth needed to break free from the hold of addiction. This is the freedom from the bondage of self. This one and only truth will eventually be seen and that’s when the reaching addiction will end…

The Story of Forgiveness

If you have wounds that need to be healed by forgiveness, innerstand they are only there because you want your past to be different, but the past never changes even with the story of forgiveness…

In a world where there is so much anger towards one another, it’s only there because of the anger you have towards yourself. If you truly loved yourself there would only be love in your heart for all beings. Because of this lack of love for self it has to be passed onto others because you can only give to others what’s in your heart. You cannot give what you don’t possess so if you don’t truly love you you can‘t love another.

This leads me to the topic of forgiveness. To me the biggest mistake of this word is people think its needed; that’s where the problem lies. If you understood your own mind you would understand this. Forgiveness is simply a story created by your Conditioned Mind to hold you in captivity to the wounds of the past. Wounds you hold onto that are only there because they’re created by the lack of self love in your heart. Because of this lack these wounds aren’t allowed to heal, this all stems from not allowing yourself to truly love who you are. You think the past should be different, if you didn’t there wouldn’t be the need to forgive.

If you’re aware of the control the Conditioned Mind has over you, you’ll see there’s no need for forgiveness because you and others behave the way your mind tells you. There’s no need to forgive if you are just doing what you have been conditioned to do, and know this it’s your mind telling you what to do and the same mind makes up the story that what it told you to do now needs forgiveness. Who acts and who forgives: it‘s one in the same. My question to you, is the need for forgiveness real or is it just a story? If you truly loved yourself your wounds would have never been produced so they wouldn’t need healing because you just did what you were conditioned to do; there’s no one to forgive…

Velcro Expectations

Velcro expectations are mostly noticed when things aren’t as they are wanted, but even when your expectations are in your favor the velcro mind still controls because of how it clings…

Let go and be free or hold on and suffer, that is the dilemma. Expect things a certain way and when they aren’t in that way the next step in the process is to react to the results of what is expected. When there’s expectations there’s labeling and when you attach labels you cling; this is developing a velcro mind. The more you label the more there’s expectations which is the velcro that makes you cling. Even if expectations work out the way you think they’re suppose to be there’s still clinging, but it’s not noticed as a problem because the situation is as it’s wanted. The velcro mind clings to everything that’s labeled and it labels everything so there’s clinging to everything, but it’s not noticed because you mostly only focus on the things that don’t go your way.

Life is one continuous expectation, but it’s only in the disappointing ones that you think your velcro mind clings; most are unaware of this moment by moment labeling process. When the mind quiets enough to innerstand this the labeling process of everything as this or that lessens and so do your expectations. This results in a mind that is free of clinging and minus the effects of velcro expectations; without this velcro effect it’s impossible to suffer…
