Unconsciously Stuck

If you’re stuck in a thought based world, most likely you’ll be stuck in an unconsciously based existence. This is a prison that you will only become unstuck from by going beyond your unconscious thoughts…

It’s impossible to be unconsciously stuck in your life unless your own mind allows it to occur. When there’s awareness of this it doesn’t mean things won’t occur that you don’t like, it just means that regardless of what happens it’s your mind that creates the unconsciousness about it and it comes from within yourself. Lots of things happen throughout the day and each time there’s a choice to hold onto it or not. Everyone has the ability within to cease creating their own unconsciousness, it just takes a certain amount of discipline for this to occur. What discipline does is it slows down the thought process that runs continuously. This slowing down is the beginning of truth being revealed. Without it the necessary quietness that allows less unconscious attachment will not happen.

If there’s continuous thought and no quiet all there will be is thought and this will not afford you the ability to watch your unconscious thoughts unfold. If this isn’t seen your mind will never slow down and there won’t be any space created between your thoughts. Life will simply be thought based and you’ll remain stuck unconsciously. When life slows down you’ll see how it’s your own mind that takes something that happens and puts it into a unconscious category. When there’s awareness of this you can break free of the hold your mind has over you and you’ll innerstand you’re not the mind, you’re beyond the thought base of being unconsciously stuck….

Created Space

In the space between your thoughts there is oneness with yourself, life, and all of creation. The more space that’s created the more love infiltrates not only your life, but the lives of all those encountered…

In each moment there’s a decision to be made and that’s to either create a story about what’s going on in the Conditioned Mind or to create space between your thoughts. These places of existence are vastly different on an individual and collective level. If the decision is to constantly create a story, your mind will never settle and your true essence of love will not be allowed to infiltrate your life or the lives of others. Love isn’t the decision of most because of the ignorance of their own conditioning. It’s what we’ve been taught so it’s what’s in place. There’s nothing right or wrong in this, it’s simply what’s in place. It will take much quietness to make a different decision, with the quietness affording the opportunity to wake up and become aware of your own conditioning.

When the decision is made to create space between your thoughts, it’s so different because it involves no conditioning at all. It’s your place of oneness with yourself and others. This is the result of what’s needed if our individual and collective state is to change. When there’s oneness with yourself you will cease fighting anything or anybody. You will not regret anything we have done in our past, you will be at peace. You will help others through the compassion of your awakened heart; self seeking will become non existent. The space between your thoughts is where it becomes known that your struggles are just what’s created by a Conditioned Mind that has been in control for far to long. So when the decision is made to create space between your thoughts, what’s discovered is love for yourself, others, life, and all creation…

Inward Silence

If you’re looking for answers when questions arise, truthful answers aren’t going to just be revealed. You’ll most likely be distracted and bounce around making up answers until there’s awareness of the inward silence that reveals truth…

Truth is beautiful and when you look for your answers inward the beauty of truth is revealed. This occurs naturally, but you need silence within to discover this; this is the only way truth will be revealed. Truth is always there, but unfortunately we have been conditioned to look in the wrong places or not look for it at all. Our outward conditioning justifies so much of our behavior and blocks inward silence from revealing truth.

Lie to yourself, justify whatever it is you want to justify, but the sad truth of our society is most people’s existence isn’t based in truth. If you’re not looking inward for your answers, you are living a lie. Truth will only be discovered through the silence from within. Why most don’t look for their inward silence is because the Conditioned Mind tells you it’s not necessary, that you are doing okay with the way things are. Besides it’s much easier to point the finger at someone else, but the truth is people aren’t doing okay with the way things are and this is because most think their answers are outside of them.

Our politicians look outside, the judicial system looks outside, religion looks outside, the economist look outside, drug and alcohol counselors, psychologists, psychiatrist, and on and on all look outside. There are no answers outside, there are only distractions to keep you from the your inward silence and getting real answers; those answers when looked for inward are based in truth. Most people live the lie that their answers are outside and to look inward is unnecessary, know this lie and it will set you free, but only if there’s inward silence…

Surface Attachments

When you can only see and attach to what’s on the surface, the root of all suffering follows. It’s in letting go of surface attachments that you see there are many parts to the whole; this reveals the emptiness of all things…

When you’re attached to the surface level of existence, life becomes thought based and although we all experience life in the human form, it’s why it’s seen differently by everyone. Except by those who don’t see it through thought, this state is of emptiness which doesn’t need thoughts, yet existence still is. Everything is a constellation of parts that make up the whole, so nothing is truly what a thought makes it out to be because it’s only seen and categorized as the whole. When you look at a tree and attach the thought “tree” the surface parts, the trunk, limbs, branches, and leaves meld into one and the true nature of the tree is lost. If you can see this with the tree, you can see it with everything, including yourself. Without the attached thought of you where is the you and that’s just the surface you I’m asking about, most don’t even think about the parts of you on the inside.

There is much freedom in seeing this because it allows for the emptiness of all things to be revealed. When you see there’s nothing to attach to no matter what, you’re free. You attach to something that keeps track of time; the thought of a watch. There are so many parts to a watch, but which part is truly the watch. Surface attachments will keep you marred in ignorance because they will block you out from seeing the true nature of emptiness in all things, you will only see the whole. When this happens you can only see and attach to what’s on the surface and therein lies the root to all suffering. It’s in letting go of surface attachments that will allow you to see there are many parts to the whole which when seen reveals the emptiness of all things…

Cemented View

There’s not much life in something that’s unmovable and this is what happens when free flowing energy is cut off by a cemented view; the cemented view causes suffering…

A cemented view is what causes you to get locked into only seeing things from the side of suffering. It matters little what the cemented view is; it’s the rigidness of being unmovable that doesn’t allow free flowing energy. This is what happens when a story is created and it becomes the cemented view of what life is about in any particular moment. This view becomes deeply embedded as you become emotionally tied into whatever it is that’s being focused on. It’s very difficult to not attach to something that is held dear to our hearts, such as our children, spouse, parents, relatives, friends and so on, but you can have compassion and genuine love for something without attaching to it or being cemented by it.

To me this cemented view is the constant view of most people and it’s why many suffer unnecessarily. I’ve noticed this occurring in so many lives and I can see the suffering it’s causing. Unfortunately those in the midst of this cemented view cannot see it, nor can one pull themselves out of it until the cemented view is seen as the cause of their suffering. The cemented viewed doesn’t allow the openness needed to be free of attachment and since attachment is the root of suffering, suffering follows. The tighter the grip of something the more cemented it becomes and the less free flowing energy there is in your life. There’s not much life in something that’s unmovable and this is exactly what happens when your free flowing energy is cut off; the cemented view controls life and causes suffering…

The Box of Society

What’s considered the box of society entraps most people to the idea of what others consider normal and unless this can be seen so you can go beyond it, there will be acceptance of someone else’s idea as your own…

Stepping outside the box of what is considered normal as far as society goes is a must if you’re to go beyond the trap of the ideas of others. You may ask why would a person want to go beyond what’s considered the box of society and here’s why, the so called box is based in form and to be attached to form is the cause of suffering; it’s as simple as that. With the attachment to the senses (form) life will still occur, it just won’t be experienced as fully as it can be. There will still be experiences, how can there not be with one being alive, but they will be dictated by form and there’ll be much nonsense associated with them. The so called box entraps you the ideas of what others think is considered normal and unless you can see this to go beyond it, you’ll accept someone else’s idea as your own. It’s an easy trap to get snared in because the bait is so enticing.

This plays right into the reward system that‘s considered the society’s box. Who does anything that doesn’t have the reward of pleasure associated with it? This can be applied to just about anybody and anything. When was the last time you purposely did something that you knew was going to be unpleasant with no reward attached to it? This is pivotal in understanding the process of the Conditioned Mind because until you can just be with whatever arises without judging it or associating it with pleasure, the society box syndrome will be what dictates the life you’re living and it will probably be someone else’s idea of what’s considered normal…

Being an Asset

When you don’t have the constant pull for pleasure the mind settles and the Universe works with whatever talent is in you for its betterment; you become its assets…

Remove the things that cause you to suffer, they are greed, hate, and delusion and it’s because of their essence that there’s suffering. Addiction to sense pleasures is of a lower vibration. The core of this belief is the more the sense pleasures are satisfied the happier you will be. Satisfying these pleasures are not an issue until they produce craving, that‘s when problems arise. Remove this mask and what you will be left goes beyond anything you can imagine.

The bondage of seeking pleasure is not only sought by just about everyone, it has been in place for eons. Forget about getting beyond it, it’s no small feat just becoming aware of this. When there is awareness of this and you’re able to go beyond the pleasure seeking, the results are miraculous. There’s no telling what may arise and what may be experienced when pleasure seeking takes a back seat. Your creative energy will go in a direction not previously known and this is because the pleasure seeking that’s been in place has been blocking it from arising.

When there’s not the constant pull for pleasure, the mind settles and the Universe works with whatever talent is in you for its betterment. There may be a musician, a painter, a gardener or botanist, or even a writer inside you, who knows a book may even come out of it. I guarantee you this, whatever it is that comes from your creative energy it will be based in love which will make you an asset to humanity because that’s just the way the Universe rolls…

Beneath the Surface

Beneath the surface of mind activity there’s nothing but space. This is difficult to see because life isn’t about what you think it is, in fact life is everything you think it isn’t, but it’s not seen because of trying to figure it out on the surface…

Round and round it goes where it stops nobody knows. This is a perfect example of the surface mind activity that’s in place for most people. One thought after another, no space, no quietness, just the surface mind activity of the world manifesting as thought. If you could just sit back in the space where the noise subsides, there’s a chance to truly see what Jesus and the Buddha spoke of. If you think you have an idea of what life is about, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but that’s just noise. There are no answers to what life is about, but the more solid you make existence, the more you will think you have life figured out. I’m not saying I know what life is about, but I do know what it isn’t about and that it has nothing to do with what is seen on the surface. The more controlled you are by the surface senses, the less life is experienced. Below the mind activity of the senses is the only place where life is truly experienced. You can travel all around the world and make up the story of all the beauty around you, but it’s only a story conjured up to provide surface pleasure and store it as a pleasurable memory. Beneath the surface no story is needed, no pleasure is needed, in fact nothing is needed because this is where true life exist.

Think about it, your entire life is a story until one day it isn’t; every storied experience is taken with you as if they never occurred. You may have thought them to be needed so you could make sense of your life, but really they mean absolutely nothing because they’re all created from the mind activity of the surface senses. Buddha talked about of delusion, Jesus spoke of not being of this world, what do you think they were talking about? If you remain trapped to the surface mind activity, you will remain in your suffering. Beneath the surface mind activity there’s the possibility of truly seeing what life is about. Why there’s difficulty in seeing this is because life isn’t about anything that you think it is. In fact it’s about everything you think it isn’t and this is because of the trying to figure it out with what’s on the surface…

Surface View

If you can develop some awareness of inner stillness, the surface view will have less control as your mind distractions subside; without these distractions you will never have a need to reach for anything…

If you’re always seeing life from the surface view of what the eyes see, what is seen will be judged accordingly and what’s going on beneath the surface will not be noticed. Although with an surface minded view life still goes on, but it’s very limited almost to the point of being delusional; I say this because it’s how I lived for forty nine years and it caused my life to be a constant struggle. The constant struggle was self created and controlled by the surface view, although this wasn’t understood at the time. A surface view is one where there‘s constant reaching and the reaching is caused by the mind distractions which aren’t seen. This is why someone will reach for something without giving it much thought regardless if it’s beneficial or not. In that moment the Conditioned Mind declares it beneficial, but this is a big fat lie.

The surface view will only be noticed when the Conditioned Mind stops its incessant distractions. You will have to be able to just be for the distractions to subside; you will not see the essence of the forest from the trees if the mind is distracted from being focused on the forest. This surface view is strictly mind based, hence the reason it’s not conducive to your well being; there are so many things on the surface to cause distractions one right after another. This is why the big fat lie is in the forefront of most lives and stillness takes a back seat. If you can develop some awareness of inner stillness, less and less the surface view will be in control because the mind distractions will subside. It will be at this point that the need to reach for something will be lessened as it’s probably the first time in your life that the surface view has taken a back seat…

A Delusional Reality

To expose your created delusions why they’re being created needs to be revealed. If this innerstanding doesn’t occur the delusions will remain which in turn will make them your reality…

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

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

Lost in Belief

When there’s a belief you need something to provide peace, it means you’re lost in this thought. Until this is innerstood, you’ll remain lost in the belief (thought) that peace is something to find…

There will never be peace in your life if you’re lost in the belief of finding peace. Peace is something that’s already within everyone, but because of the way our minds are conditioning, we get lost in the belief that peace is something to find. Unfortunately beliefs are what makes the very thing you’re seeking (peace) elusive. Beliefs are the reason there’s constant reaching for something from the outside, and until these beliefs are no more, you’ll remain lost in the thought that peace is in the next thing reached for. Reaching for anything is the proof that you’re lost. I can’t stress this enough as being lost in the beliefs of your thoughts has to be seen if you’re to ever experience true peace.

The thought of being at peace isn’t peace. What has to happen if you’re to ever experience peace is there has to be an innerstanding of what’s blocking you from peace; the reason why there isn’t peace is because of the inability to just be. When the need to reach for something arises, lost in belief begins. This is a conditioned cycle that’s very difficult to break. Peace isn’t something that can be grabbed so it’s in doing less that peace arises. Many get lost in trying to find peace, but since it’s something that’s already within, the belief associated with finding it needs to be discarded so you can see it’s there. This isn’t easy to see so I assist where possible, but this isn’t offered to help you find peace, it’s offered so you may possibly uncover the reason why you’re lost in the belief you’re not at peace…

Conditioned Wants

All wants are conditioned driven, it matters little to life or the Universe whether they’re fulfilled or not. You can make up a story fulfilling your wants matters, but that’s your story not life’s…

You can want things a certain way, but to life this doesn’t really matter. Life isn’t a respecter of wants, it will allow things for its betterment at times. If you’re one of the instruments which are being used in this capacity you’re truly blessed because you are probably assisting others in a unique way. This doesn’t make you special, but it does allow you to be free of the self centeredness that holds most of the world in captivity. Wants are conditioned driven, it matters little to life or the Universe whether they’re fulfilled or not. You can make up a story fulfilling your wants matters, but that’s your story not life’s. Fulfill every want in your life and at the end of it you will have exactly what you would’ve had had no want been fulfilled.

It always makes me laugh when I’m watching a baseball game and a player hits a home run followed by pointing upward, as if something is watching and cares more about the person hitting the home run as opposed to the pitcher giving it up. What happens when the person strikes out, which is inevitable, I’m waiting for the day when a person who strikes out points downward. All these stories mean nothing to the Universe, they’re like prayers, regardless if they seem to work out or not, they too are just stories. Who’s suppose to answer them anyway, God, good luck with that. Things will always work out the way they work out; the Universe (life) doesn’t really care if they do or don’t. Wants are only held onto because they’re thought to be needed, but because life isn’t a respecter of wants, suffering occurs because that’s what you not life has in place…

Past Emotions

If you keep bringing the past into the present, the past will be where you live your life. Why this is unfortunate is because all of the emotional pain of the past will also be carried into the present…

The amount of times one relives something that causes emotional pain is purely mind boggling because it’s your own mind that does this; it probably happens hundreds maybe even thousands of times throughout your life. This is why most people suffer endlessly because what happened in the past is constantly brought into the present and although the body is in the present moment, the mind is constantly somewhere else. This is the constant state that most people live their life from and if nothing is done to change this, it will continue until existence in this form ends. This isn’t a philosophy or theory, nor is it something I made up, you need only look at this for yourself to see this truth. If you don’t look at it, you will more likely remain stuck in the maze of your thoughts without a way out.

Humanity seems to have lost its way and it’s because looking at ourselves is not something that many people are willing to do. It’s so much easier to point the finger at someone else, but unfortunately when you point your finger at someone there are three pointing back at you; check this to see its truth. You can ignore this and keep your head in the sand in the hopes everything will work out or you can take control of your life, at least to some extent and stop attaching to the thoughts that cause your own suffering. After all it’s the same thoughts that are constantly arising and if they’re not attached to, eventually they’ll stop and so will the repeated emotional suffering they cause…

Observed Energy

The quality of any life in this form is determined by the observed energy, as this energy builds on itself this determines what the base of that life will be…

This is very important to observe the energy you live by, it will either come from the heart or the head; this is observed or it isn’t. When this is observed, 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 to me. When my energy is observed in stillness what becomes my life’s direction is all derived from stillness. This isn’t a doing of mine, it’s a transformation occurring from stillness itself.

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

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

The Fulfillment Chase

For most seeking fulfillment is something that’s constant and it’s a direct link to what keeps the mind in a state of agitation. When things are accepted as they are seeking fulfillment is no longer needed…

We live in a fulfillment cultured society, when it’s cold we desire warmth, when it’s hot we desire to be cool. Chasing after this fulfillment is how many people spend their entire lives, and if it’s not learned to be with the discomforts of what happens and not constantly push them away, there will be very little peace in one’s life. We life mostly in a place where we’re afraid of this discomfort because it means facing ourselves. Although our true essence is the love of all creation this isn’t seen because the Conditioned Mind doesn’t allow it.

Once awareness is developed that allows some discipline to at least slow the mind down, it can be seen how chasing after fulfillment occupies most of our waking hours; we’re in a constant fix it mode trying to have things the way we think they need to be in order to be fulfilled. The problem with this is nothing stays the same so we have to constantly make adjustments. It’s truly exhausting to live this way, but it’s the way most people live. It doesn’t have to be this way, but the only way it won’t be is if you can be with what occurs and not want it any different than what it is. This doesn’t mean you can’t have fulfillment, just understand fulfillment isn’t what allows you to be at peace, only accepting things as they are will and that’s only because you see the fulfillment in that…
