Automatic Reactions

Most reactions that occur in life are automatic; they’re put in place by your own conditioning. If your life isn’t lived to its fullest potential, it’s your automatic reactions that are blocking it from being so…

Although things seem to be a certain way, they’re not always as it appears. It’s difficult to see beyond your own mind when automatic reactions are brought into play. So much of what the mind holds onto becomes automatic and is put in storage to be used at certain times; this is how most minds are conditioned. Conditioned to automatically have in place the way things are going to be handled is how conditioned reactions are formed. They’re all based on putting things in a certain place so automatic reactions are triggered.

This goes on constantly because the Conditioned Mind makes it so. If you had no previous conditioning, automatic reactions wouldn’t arise, but this is not the case. One of the keys to not living an automatic reactive life is to be anchored in the present moment. This is important because the more you’re present, the more you’re with what life offers. When this occurs there’s peace because the automatic reactions are no longer controlling you as things don’t need to be any different than what they are…

Made Up View

Everything in life passes and that’s a fact, a made up view is what makes everything permanent. Only when the mind is settled will the made up view be seen for what it is, and only then will it fall away…

Holding onto a made up view even when there’s evidence it’s false is the greatest of all delusions. Basically delusions occur as made up views, believing what’s seen, the mental reactions to what’s seen, and holding onto what’s seen even though it’s proven not to be true. These first two made up views are the ones that occur the most, many people learn from these to a large degree. The third made up view is where delusion becomes deeply embedded in the subconscious. It grabs hold of you and makes you do all kinds of nonsense. There are many ways made up views manifest, just look at all the things that are reached for. The delusion here is things will bring satisfaction, but as soon as it’s grabbed it’s gone so the next thing made up view arises; this is delusion at its finest.

To me this is how a made up view operates. You think someone is following you, that’s the beginning; it starts with a delusional thought. Now the mind takes over and the mental reaction view occurs, or as I like to say, the nonsense begins. If the person thought to be following you passes you, the made up view will simply fall way, but if you’re in the grip of this type of view, you‘ll think the person passing you is just part of the plan. The made up view will always have to run its course before subsiding. No matter what it is in life, it will pass away, that’s a fact, but a made up view makes everything permanent so it can remain in control. Only when the mind settles will you see the made up view for what it is, and only when this is seen will it fall away…

Fake News

The Conditioned Mind creates a lie seen as a fake void, this void is a fake lack of love. Until this is seen, one will constantly need to reach for something to try and fill this fake void that doesn’t truly exist…

For many years I had a fake void in me that was created from a lack of understanding love. That’s why I constantly reached for things to fill it, I have since come to understand this. This fake void isn’t a true void at all, it’s emptiness; this emptiness is the essence of love. It’s where life truly happens when one is busy making other plans. By not understanding this, I spent most of my life trying to fill a fake void with whatever I could get my hands on. This is an endless list as to what can be used, so each individual has to investigate for themselves what that is. It’s ironic though because now most of my life is spent in the space that for so long was seen as a fake void; the truth of this has been revealed to me.

This fake void is the reason why anyone reaches for anything or wants life to be different. If this was understood for what it truly was, humanity would be much different because contentment would be the way of the world. The void is a fake lie of the Conditioned Mind and it keeps one constantly needing the present moment to be different; it keeps you reaching to fill it. This will need to be understood if the reaching is to ever end. When it is understood, the fake void transforms to love because the present moment doesn’t need to be different. When the present moment doesn’t need to be different, life reveals its true essence which doesn’t ever need to be filled with anything because the fake void is seen for the lie that it is…

Sheep Mentality

There’s so much of a sheep mentality in our society today that it’s almost impossible to break its hold. The reason for this is because the thing being followed is attached to by the sheep mentality of "I"

The sheep mentality will drag you along unconsciously unless there’s some awareness that it’s happening. To me the only thing that allows this awareness are your thoughts slowing down enough to where there’s a millisecond of space between them; in this space the pull of a sheep mentality lessens. The only thing I’ve found that allows this space is being present. It’s very important to understand this because people sit for hours with other intentions and the moment they’re finished, the sheep mentality returns. Understanding this is beneficial because it allows for a clear vision which keeps the mind open to lead instead of follow. If everything stays in the head as sheep intellect, it will be difficult to break free from the energy of this. The more attachment there is to sheep energy, the harder it is to pull away.

One example of this is in the Bible, the masses grew and grew as the Pharisees publicly tried Jesus. As more people were pulled into the sheep mentality to crucify, the sheep energy intensified. If you research some of the conquerors of the past, you will see exactly how the sheep mentality works. As their reigns widened and their tyranny expanded, the sheep mentality deepened. There’s so much of this energy in our society right now, and it’s reinforced daily. It’s so hard to break free because of the attached sheep mentality of “I” that keeps it in place. This even includes many trying to help others if the sheep mentality is focused on “I” instead of the intuitive love of the heart. Until “I” is addressed, few people will ever truly break free from the sheep energy because the attached mentality won’t allow space between your thoughts as the energy of “I” remains in control…

Inner Blindness

As long as there’s inner blindness in place, this will be the operating energy controlling your life. This energy arises as unconsciousness and it doesn’t allow you to see what’s truly going on…

Unless you’re awake, how things appear isn’t how they actually are. If you truly want to see what’s going on, getting beyond your inner blindness will have to happen. Even though many people may be looking at same thing there are usually different views of what is seen. Many views happen because of inner blindness, but there’s also the view of consciousness; this is the view of truth. To stop seeing from the view caused by inner blindness, stop labeling what is seen. Stopping the labeling process allows the mind to slow to a point so consciousness (truth) arises. It’s imperative for this to happen if the inner blindness that’s been formed over the years is to lessen its grip.

Inner blindness is so misunderstood, and how this is known is because of the behavior that’s exhibited. I look to my own reactions to know this and in the process I can see it in others. This isn’t a judgement, it’s factual. Know your own mind and you will know the mind of others. This is because we are all of the same energy. Creation is creation anyway it’s looked at. When inner blindness is seen for what it is, its energy begins to transform in a direction that allows consciousness. As long as there’s unawareness of this, the energy of inner blindness will remain as the operating energy of your life. This operating energy arises and takes on many forms, but the bottom line is it’s your inner blindness that doesn’t allow you to see what’s truly going on…

Tyrannical Lies

Understand the tyrannical lies and there won’t be anything left but truth. Not a made up story of truth, but a real honest to goodness truth based on facts not tyrannical lies…

The biggest lie we are told by tyrannical people is they do what they do to benefit humanity. This is reinforced by their tyrannical global structure in place. Believing their tyrannical lies are at the core of humanity’s misaligned existence; their lies create all our issues. Religious sects all claim to have the truth, no facts, just their truth. Corrupt politicians fix problems based in tyrannical lies with solutions based in their lies. The entire entertainment and sports industry are based in tyrannical lies that create the false impression of them and us. This creates separation, but there will never be truth in separation. There’s also the “Great American Dream” lie of owning things, the Central Bank no doubt created this tyrannical lie. Lie after tyrannical lie, and what happens to an existence based in these lies, it becomes an existence of tyrannical liars. Not because this is wanted and not because the truth isn’t known, it’s simply because the tyranny isn’t understood by the people. No one who believes the lies will ever know truth unless the tyrannical lie and liars are exposed.

The truth will set you free when the tyrannical lies are understood because there will be nothing left but truth. Not a made up story of it, but a real honest to goodness truth based on the facts of what’s really happening as opposed to the story the tyrannical fake news media creates to suit the lie and the evil liars (Tyrants). It’s a tyrannical lie that has been handed down for eons and it’s been the base that we’ve been living from for most of, if not all our lives. Very strong language, but true. Look inward and you just may see truth, but it will only happen if you can see the tyrannical liars and their governmental organized crime syndicate…

Unity of Our Hearts

If you think individual energy changes things, you will be disappointed. Not in your effort, but in the result of things not changing. Unity of our hearts is needed for true change…

A large part of the problem when it comes to changing things is how it’s tried on an individual basis. There’s way too much energy wasted on this; if things are to change it has to be done with the love that comes from the unity of our hearts. We all need to have our hearts united with the hearts of others. This is from the Universe and it’s a united heart that realizes this. When there’s unity of our hearts, we’re not limited to certain beliefs or made up concepts; we’re open to anyone who has an open heart. The only way for the heart to be united is to remove its pollutants. An example of this would be polluted water: Nothing has to be added to polluted water to return it to its natural state, all that needs to be done is to remove the pollutants.

The only thing that matters is to remove all your pollutants so the united heart energy is emitted to all beings; this is a Universe doing. What I share is a message of unity of our hearts, but it’s not my unity, it’s the unity of the Universe. It’s through the surrendering of individual doing that the Universe finds the best possible way to use you; what that results in is up to the Universe not some individual doing. Unity of our hearts is our strength, it‘s the self-serving mind that keeps all beings from the love of the unity of our hearts…

Effective Tools

Are the tools you have in place truly effective to allow you to love yourself unconditionally and thus love all beings? The key word here is all, not just a select few…

For many years I did things that I considered effective for my wellbeing. After forty nine years of doing this, I found myself at such a low point that wasn’t sure if I was going to rise up. There was no I think I can chants, no positive thinking, no meditation, no loving myself. There was much confusion and despair, and the insanity of this is my own mind that developed these tools and deemed them effective. Now I know not many get to this place of total despair so it’s difficult to understood how low I was, but I will say this, I’m fortunate beyond words and I will tell you why. When I was twenty eight years old I was hanging in a bar in Newark NJ with eight men. All of us were using alcohol and drugs as effective tools, seven of those individuals are dead. What’s tragic about this is the tools that each of them accepted as effective for their wellbeing were the cause of their death. Think about how insane this is and how often this is repeated today; insanity to say the least.

When I look back at what I thought were effective tools for my wellbeing, I see nothing but this insanity. I alone, although not intentional, caused all my own suffering. Now you may not think this applies to you, but every self destructive thought one ever has comes from within yourself. It may have been put there by some outer influence, but it was attached to by you and you saw it as effective to give it the energy to manifest. I’m not a big on negative/positive, my experience is more in line with quietness as an effective tool. There’s a question to ask yourself if you can muster the courage to do so. Are you willing to truly face yourself to see if the tools you have in place are effective to allow you to love yourself unconditionally and thus love all beings? If not, new tools are needed…

Uncluttered Mind State

When one awakens, an uncluttered mind state is provided which allows a clear view of your actions. With this uncluttered mind state you become aware if your actions are truly beneficial…

Having an uncluttered mind state allows for the ability to decipher the immediate effect of your actions and your current view. A uncluttered mind state doesn’t allow greed, hate, and delusion, to arise. In seeing the affects of greed, hate, and delusion for what they are and their controlling characteristics, you just may be able to pause them for a millisecond. If this isn’t clearly seen these characteristics will continue their monkey mind control.

Observe the different mind states which are greed, hate and delusion and their polar opposites, generosity, love, and wisdom. These are the uncluttered and cluttered mind states most people fluctuate between. With an uncluttered mind state you see how your actions and the associated actions are linked. What happens first is you can decipher the mind state associated with your actions, and second you’ll see if those actions are beneficial. It’s very easy to see anger and its association with the mind state of hate. It doesn’t take much intelligence to see how this action isn’t beneficial to anyone. Without awareness of this you remain trapped to the mind state of hate and hence the associated actions. Intelligence has no bearing on this whatsoever.

It also works this way with the action of kindness. Kindness with no attached expectations is an action associated with the mind state of love. You can definitely see how this action benefits everyone; to me this is what an awakening is, although one isn’t rendered white as snow just because of becoming awake. No one among us can cast the first stone, but by the mind settling your view becomes uncluttered, and you become aware of your actions and the associated mind state of those actions. It can then be seen if your actions are truly a benefit not only to yourself, but to all beings…

Harmonic Energy

Existence is one energy. When individual energy is out of sorts because of selfish desires, it puts you not only in conflict with yourself, but it also prevents harmony with the entire Universe…

We begin our existence in total harmony with Universal energy. In our beginning stages we’re in harmony with it; there isn’t really much to block this. We live mostly fulfilling our instinctual needs, not much true thought goes on. As we get older we start the process of becoming conditioned to whatever environment and influences we’re exposed to. In other words we start to form our story; this story is what changes our harmonic energy. This is why Jesus made many references in his teachings about children, because as a child without the Conditioned Mind being deeply entrenched, your energy remains in harmony with the Universe or as Jesus called this, Father.

This is why Jesus said “become like little children.” He didn’t say get a career or make up an identity because if you have the heart of a child, you can become anything that you please as you‘ll be in harmony with the Universe. This harmony is oneness, and it’s what makes you complete regardless of anything you do; you will attract the things of the energy you live by. You may fool people by being successful according to worldly standards, but the Universe will not nor cannot be fooled as you will only receive what your energy is in harmony with…

Judgement Limits

The incessant need to judge life limits it. Understanding is different than judging because it allows for the awareness of exactly what’s there instead of the thought of what’s there…

Most of what happens in life is unexplained, but that doesn’t stop the mind from judging it. I have found the unexplained is best left alone because an answer wouldn’t really make a difference. As things occur, judgements associated with existence don’t really assist it. When judging is allowed to control your life, it limits your life and becomes your master puppeteer. 

Most people are limited by the incessant need to judge. Understanding something is different than judging it because it allows for the awareness of exactly what you’re up against (your own mind). This awareness allows the mind to settle and lessen the need for judgements which aren’t truly needed. Judging addiction doesn’t stop one from being an addict, but understanding addiction may; as a matter of fact this is exactly what happened to me.

The Universe needs no judging in its process nor does the origin of our thoughts need to be judged. The understanding of how thoughts are attached to and what behaviors manifest from their attachment, is the difference between being at peace with life or struggling with it. Some will judge this and it’s their right, but I know by understanding my behavior and how it was based to self-serve, it gave me something tangible to use to lessen how much control my judgements had over me. Past tense is used on purpose because their control is much less today. Judging why this occurs doesn’t enhance the ability to be free of the Conditioned Mind, but an understanding of this certainly does. It’s through the discipline of sitting that the mind can settle enough to become aware that applying a judgement to what happens in life, will not enhance it in the way that understanding our own mind will…

Lying Thoughts

When truth is revealed no longer do you listen to your lying thoughts because you understand there’s no reason to believe anything without the facts…

Don’t believe everything you think because your thoughts tell you things that are lies. Your lying thoughts will tell you the past is real, yet the only place it exists is in the mind. Your lying thoughts will tell you to fear, yet the only thing you have to fear is fear itself. Lying thoughts tell you to hold onto the belief of a self that’s a solid entity, but the form that’s being occupied needs no such attachment to exist as it’s always changing in a constant state of flux. Lying thoughts will tell you I think therefore I am, but thinking has nothing to do with I am. Lying thoughts make up beliefs that everything desired on the outside is needed, but if none of those desires comes to pass, nothing happens. Even if the desires do get fulfilled, the satisfaction is fleeting at best. Then there’s the lying thoughts of the so called ego, this is like the bogeyman under the bed, it’s real until one looks under the bed.

There’s an image in the mirror with a name given to it for the purpose of identification. If the name is different we think we are someone else, but that’s only a lying thought because the form remains the same. There will be many lying thoughts held onto that just aren’t true. Unfortunately, the more they are attached to, the more real they seem. To be free, your lying thoughts will have to be exposed. This doesn’t mean you don’t exist, you just don’t exist in the way your lying thoughts tell you. When this truth is revealed, no longer do you listen to your lying thoughts because it’s understood, you shouldn’t believe everything you think because most of it is a lie…

Selfish Mind Patterns

If the world is ever going to change, the selfish mind patterns in place will have to change. This will only happen when it’s seen these mind patterns aren’t providing beneficial results…

A selfish mind develops patterns to do certain things, and it will do just that whether you want it to or not; it has to do what patterns it has developed. Our mind becomes selfishly patterned the same way an operating system works. Unless it’s changed or at least upgraded to some degree, the selfish mind patterns will remain. It’s imperative to understand this so first the selfish mind patterns in place can be identified, and second the patterns that may not be serving you in the most beneficial way can be changed. Selfish mind patterns controlled my life for many years (forty nine years to be exact) until it was realized these patterns weren’t really benefitting me or anyone else for that matter. This realization is the beginning stages for the possibility of the selfish mind patterns to change. This will take some effort because of how ingrained they are, but the effort is more of about awareness than an actual exertion.

Once one becomes aware there may be another way to live, the process of changing the selfish mind patterns in place has begun. This is difficult because the mind wants to hold onto the familiar even if the familair isn’t providing much of a benefit. It’s how the dog chasing its tail syndrome remains in place; even at the point of its own destruction. Selfish mind patterns developed many tools and influences to do this, some inner, some outer. This is why when a person acts in a particular way, they‘re accountable, but not really responsible for what they do. If anything is ever going to change in our world, the selfish mind patterns in place will have to change. This will only happen when it’s seen the selfish mind patterns are doing what they were designed to do, but they aren’t providing the most beneficial results…

Lacking Identity

Creating a lacking identity is all part of the Conditioned Mind with life setting the stage for it to be played out. In silence you’re still on stage, but the lacking identity isn’t needed…

Most of the things that are reached for throughout life are used because of a lacking identity. It’s as if you’re on stage and your identity is being created from conditioned lack. Taking on whatever the assigned identity you think is needed at the time. Each person studies their lines and creates the lacking identity in whatever way their conditioning has been developed; there are many roles used in creating a lacking identity. This lacking identity is associated with the things reached for to make your part in the play more interesting; not many want to be in a play where everyone sits around in silence. It would seem there is needed drama for life to be more interesting, but this is the lacking identity the Conditioned Mind creates.

Only in silence can life be lived to the fullest. Without a lacking identity, you’re still present on the stage of life, but you’re not controlled by the rehearsed conditioning. It’s this conditioning that creates lack that makes you use it to make an identity. In silence with the stage already set, a lacking identity doesn’t have to be taken on nor do you need to create one in the puppet show of a conditioned life…

Intuitive Awareness

Intuitive awareness isn’t something created so life fits nicely into a made up story of how you think it should be. Awareness is intuitive and is already in place, it doesn’t need to be created to make it so…

Although awakening is a process of becoming aware of what blocks your intuitiveness, it will only expand each day by developing a daily mindfulness and sitting practice. For me, no longer does the world revolve around me, it more so revolves around others. Each day I bring a vision of how I can be a benefit to others by writing and posting daily articles. This has been done everyday for the past nine plus years. There is intuitive awareness into my day to day existence and although there are some mishaps because the Conditioned Mind is relentless, the process is a continuation into the expansion of intuitive awareness; with this expansion comes the expansion of love into my day to day life, and the life of others.

Awareness of this intuitive expansion doesn’t take thought, it takes a settled mind. The subtitle of my book: “You Are Not Your Thoughts” was chosen for this reason. All created stories of intuitive awareness are only attached thoughts. When this was understood my conditioning was understood, and it was the beginning of the end of the life of lies I lived. This brought me to the realm of the unknown (intuitive awareness). This realm is not something that thought can bring about; thought actually blocks it. Stillness is where the realm of the Spirit and our intuitive true nature arises. It’s where one connects to all of life and feels the intuitive awareness of the Sunlight of the Spirit. It’s our home, our place of a peace that passes all understanding; it’s the intuitive awareness of existence. This needs no story to be, you only need to stop thinking and intuitive awareness will arise…
