Everythinj is Temporary

Life is dynamic, but sometimes we make things a burden as if it’s always going to be this way. This makes life a delusion that what’s happening will never pass, but everything is temporary…

Making something that’s occurring in the moment as if it’s going to be this way forever, is why one gets swept away by a made up storms. They’re not truly storms, they take on the energy they’re given as if what’s occurring right now is always going to be this way. Once the energy of it’s always going to be this way is seen, the tool of “Everything is Temporary” can be applied. When one is struggling with something the greatest understanding you can have is that it’s your own mind that creates every obstacle to your inner peace regardless of how life unfolds; if this isn’t understood inner peace will never be had.

Everything is temporary even if what occurs is made permanent by your mind. This goes for everything including life itself so no matter what it is one day it will not be so. Here is one of my favorite examples of this: If you visit a doctor because you’re not feeling well and are told you have a year to live, do you want to die 365 times or once? A mind that‘s settled can see the truth of this and hence the freedom and value of only dying once. Or not and die everyday until the time comes when conditions that support living in this form are no longer met. We are only visitors here regardless of what happens in life and no matter how tight the hold is on something, everything is temporary…

Non-Factual Beliefs

When you can only see and attach to non-factual beliefs, therein lies the root to suffering. It’s in letting go of these beliefs that you will see there are many parts to the whole, this reveals the factual emptiness of all things…

When you stay attached to non-factual beliefs, life becomes stagnant. Although life is still experienced, it’s seen this way by everyone except those who don’t see life through a belief; this is the state of emptiness which needs no belief. Everything is a part of the whole so nothing is truly what a non-factual belief makes it out to be. When you look at a tree and apply the belief the tree is its parts, the trunk, limbs, branches, and leaves, 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 a belief of you, where is the you? Most don’t even think about the parts that make up this you.

There is much freedom in seeing this because it allows for the factual emptiness of all things to be revealed, and when you see there’s nothing to believe in no matter what so you are free. Another example is you give a form that keeps track of time and call it a watch. There are so many parts to it, which part is truly the watch? Beliefs will keep you in ignorance because they will block out seeing the true nature of factual emptiness in all things. With beliefs you can only see and attach to form and therein lies the root to all suffering. It’s in letting go of your beliefs in all forms that you will see there are just parts which reveals the emptiness of all things…

Past Controlled Present

If past thoughts are constantly repeated they’ll control the present; this means the past will be where you live your life. This is unfortunate because all the emotional pain of the past will be carried into the present…

The amount of times a past thought is repeated with its emotional pain is mind boggling because it’s your own mind that does this; it probably happens thousands of times throughout your life. Most people suffer endlessly because past thoughts are repeated constantly. This allows them into the present, and although the body is always in the present, the mind is constantly in the past. This is the constant state of most people 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 most likely remain stuck in the past without a way to stop it.

We as a species seem to be lost, to me it’s because looking at ourselves in an investigative way is not something most are willing to do. It’s so much easier to point the finger at someone than look at yourself, 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 repeating the same story that everything will work out or you can take control of your life; at least to some extent and stop repeating thoughts that cause your own suffering. After all the same thoughts constantly arise, and if they’re not attached to, eventually they’ll stop and so will the repeated emotional suffering they cause…

Surface Viewer

The root of all struggles are deep, they’re not just at the surface level. They’re rooted in the structure of how you think. If you don’t investigate this beyond being a surface viewer, nothing will ever change…

Changing the surface viewer mind structure is like turning a ship. The intention to turn happens right away, but the turn itself is very gradual. It’s as though we know we need to start turning right away, but we don’t see below the surface. Here’s a simple suggestion if you want to get in touch with breaking free of this ingrained surface viewer structure, and it’s not complicated. When you do something, investigate what the surface viewer sees. No reason to go back and look for a traumatic incident, why it’s seen only from the surface viewer level is sufficient.

If the need to reach for something happens because life throws you a curve ball, and you don’t investigate why the need to reach arose, you’ll probably use a surface distraction not to succumb to it. By doing this you’ll never be free because you’ll never get in touch with why the surface viewer is in place. Investigating why you’re a surface viewer is the most important thing you can do for yourself when something is done that’s not in your best interest. If you don’t, you will just substitute one thing for another and in the process remain trapped to what’s causing the need to reach. You may not like this post and you may even ignore it, but don’t be surprised when the next life curve ball comes and you find yourself reaching for something, you just won’t know why because you’re seeing it as a surface viewer…

Specific View Limits

No view is inherently wrong, but if you only have a specific one, it limits life and in the process it doesn’t allow any other results except those from that specific view…

Changing views is what makes life different, but it doesn’t make what happens in life different, it only makes the view of what happens different. If you’re locked into a specific view, this only allows one way of seeing things. The more a view is intellect based, the harder it will be for there to be a shift to see things from another view. Not that there’s anything inherently wrong with the intellect, it just doesn’t allow for much openness. When one sees things from a specific view, it limits life to that one view. Most times this view isn’t even your own, it’s formed from someone else’s opinion, teaching, book, video, or discussion.

To be fixated on a specific view keeps you entrapped to the results of only that view; think about how limiting that is. No possibility of another view, always going down the same path, never allowing anything new. This is so limiting, but with only seeing things through a specific view how limiting this is will not be seen. Sitting and developing discipline so the minds grip lessens can assist in possibly altering a specific view mind set, but there has to an inkling there’s another way to see things. It’s not that any way is wrong, it’s just that having only a specific view limits life, and in the process it doesn’t allow any other results except those from the specific view…

Controlling Energy

When you aren’t being controlled by energy based on outer things, therein lies your freedom. It isn’t freedom because life is the way that it’s wanted, there’s freedom because you’re with life the way that it is…

The energy that control your life make your life what it is. It doesn’t make life what it is because life just is, but it makes YOUR life what it is and until the energy in place puts you in harmony with life there won’t be any, and hence your life will be the way that it is because it’s the way you are making it. It’s actually a beautiful thing when you become aware of this because it puts your life in your hands; there’s nothing more satisfying. When you aren’t being controlled by energy based on outer things therein lies your freedom; freedom because you’re with life the way that it is.

What happens with the mind that has energy not based in love is it gets hijacked by its own conditioning so you’re held hostage by your own mind. I know this sounds crazy, but this is exactly what’s happens, and it’s all because of the energy based to self-serve. When the energy in place is controlled by a me, me, me mind, crazy is the norm because of this energy. When the energy changes, the craziness subsides. When you sit and see what the base of your energy is, you just may be able to change them. It will take time though because of the conditioning in place, but the alternative is to remain the way you are; being controlled by energy that holds you hostage…

What's Next Impermanence

When impermanence is understood, the craving for fulfillment of what’s next is replaced with acceptance because one day what’s next will never occur and prove just how impermanent life really is…

Nobody knows the future, but what does the future matter if the present isn’t being lived to the fullest. No one really know what’s going to happen next, but we all know death at least in this form will one day happen next, its just not known when that is. This is just a factual part of life regardless of any belief, one day this body will cease to support life as it is known today. We can make up a place that we are going to go to when life in this form ends, but the body is going to become void of life, and it will either be cremated or decay 6 feet underground. If this one truth can be understood nothing else would truly matter because the impermanence of all things would be seen. And once this is seen life takes on an entirely different dynamic.

No longer is there something needed for fulfillment when this dynamic occurs because it’s realized life is already fulfilled. How can it not be with the understanding that all you need you already have and all that you have has no lasting substance to it. If everything is impermanent, everything is temporary, so nothing will bring fulfillment to life except an understanding that life is already fulfilled. Everything is a temporary fix that’s why things are constantly reached for. If there wasn’t a craving to be fulfilled, there wouldn’t be a need to reach for an impermanent fix. Why the understanding of impermanence has so much value is because the craving for fulfillment is replaced with acceptance of what happens next because one day what happens next will never occur; just something to ponder…

Beam of Light

When you’re aware that all opinions are a made up story, love takes their place. This love is a beam of light that’s always there, but it’s not experienced because of the conditioned opinions that block it…

Without opinions everyone would view life through the eyes of love which by the way is a beam of light of peace; because of opinions this beam of light isn’t seen. The view of opinions are made up by the energy of unconsciousness, this makes everything that happens in life seen through the conditioning of your opinions; through this view life is missed. This makes life about nothing real except for the opinions that’s are formed by the Conditioned Mind.

Being unaware of opinions are what makes the mind attach to thoughts and those attachments are the cause of what controls your life. What’s factually 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 simply learning to understand your minds true nature of quietness and not being lead around by your conditioned opinions; whatever they may be. When there’s awareness of this you will truly love. A love that has always been there, but it’s never experienced because of your conditioned opinions not allowing you to see your beam of light…

Needing Always Needs

When there’s a needing for something for satisfaction, it has to be addressed or you‘ll remain in the grip of the needing and you’ll always be trying to satisfy some inner need…

What’s missed by most people is the understanding that all needing is the same regardless of what’s needed. The needing itself is all the same and make no mistake when you need you’re in prison. There are so many prisons, from ayahuasca, to Heroin, a Hersey chocolate kiss, love, God or whatever; the needing is what should be focused on. Nobody just has a need for something, there’s a hole to be filled so a need arises. This is where the misunderstanding occurs because one thinks needing ayahuasca is different than needing Heroin. The true nature of needing isn’t identified so you remain the same even though the things used are different. It’s easier to justify when there’s a need to help others than when there’s a need for Heroin, but it’s still a need to be fill. I share my experience on why there’s a need to need. It was revealed to me that needing is the cause of all my problems because self-centeredness is the needing supportive energy.

You may think it’s crazy how the need for God is the same as a need for a drink of alcohol, or that needing ayahuasca is the same as needing Heroin, but it’s because it all arises from the inability to truly be with things as they are. If there’s a need, it will be reinforced by giving into the need; if this isn’t understood you’ll remain in your needing prison. Understanding this is difficult and it’s why I don’t push to develop a program or why I don’t become a life coach; it’s just not needed. I will point anyone to look within to find their own inner beauty; the only thing that matters is to learn to live with what’s here now. This is what should be pointed to, but because needing isn’t understood, there’s a need to fulfill the next need so you remain a prisoner…

Awareness Energy

The quality of life in this form is determined by the energy output. As this energy builds on itself this determines what the base of your life will be…

It’s very important to be aware of the energy you live by, it will either come from the heart or the head; you are either aware of this or you’re not. When there’s awareness of this, 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. When I’m aware of my energy, there’s stillness which becomes my life’s direction, life is then derived from this stillness. This isn’t a doing, 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 being unaware 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 be aware of your energy and see how it builds on itself. Life doesn’t make it what it is, awareness energy makes it what it is. To a large degree we are all the creator of our own reality, and that reality will be determined by your awareness energy. Positive, negative, noisy, quiet, one of these will build your life. It’s not up to the outside circumstances that determines this. Awareness energy determines how what happens is dealt with, how it is 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 energy is based in. The life you build is up to you, you alone are the creator of your reality because awareness energy builds on itself…

Space of Silence

The space of silence reduces the noise between your ears. This reduced noise comes from life itself, but it’s not a doing or it would already be so. The space of silence is where life opens to its true essence…

The space of silence is where life truly occurs. Silence reduces the noise between your ears. Be with what’s in front of you no matter what it is simply because that’s what’s there. What’s there cannot be changed until it’s not there; accept life as it is. Don’t suppress it, let it flow. Any change needed will come from the space of silence, it’s not a doing or it would already be so. Sit in quiet, see who is sitting, who wants life different. When this self is no more, that’s when life becomes different. With the difference being, no longer will what goes on between your ears matter because silence reduces the noise and takes over.

Sitting allows the mind to settle because it allows the noise in the head to subside. It will settle on its own when there’s alignment with what is. Don’t think about who you are, be who you are. Your “I Am“ needs nothing added to it to be. It’s your true essence; anything added is a story created. The more one lives by this created story the less silence there is and the less love there is to reduce the noise between our ears. When the noise is reduced we are swallowed up by love without a story.

Just be with whatever life offers. No second thoughts of why this or that is done. Just be with it, don’t suppress it, let it flow. Sit often, don’t attach and the mind will settle, or not and it won’t. Either way life occurs, it’s just that in the space of what’s there, silence reduces the noise of what goes on between your ears…

Enslaved by Beliefs

When there’s a belief you need something to provide peace, you’re enslaved by this thought. Until this is understood, you’ll remain enslaved in the belief that peace is outside of you…

There will never be peace in your life as long as you’re enslaved by the belief that peace is outside of you. Peace is something that’s already within everyone, but because of the way our minds are conditioned, we get enslaved by the belief that peace is something to find. Unfortunately enslaved beliefs are what makes the very thing you’re seeking elusive. Beliefs are the reason one is constantly searching for something outside themselves. Until there’s awareness of this, you’ll remain enslaved by the thought that peace is in the next thing attained. This can’t be stressed enough as this enslavement 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 peace is to ever be experienced is there has to be an understanding of how beliefs enslave you. The reason why peace is elusive is because of the lack of awareness of this. When the need to reach for something arises, becoming enslaved by belief begins; this is a conditioned cycle that’s very difficult to break. Peace isn’t a doing so it’s in doing less that peace arises. Many get enslaved in the thought of finding peace, but since it’s already within, the belief associated with finding it needs to be discarded. This is so you can uncover the reason why you’re enslaved in the belief that you’re not at peace…

A Moments Magnificence

The magnificence of life is in the newness of each moment. This magnificence isn’t observed by most because of view developed by the Conditioned Mind, but this doesn’t mean the magnificence isn’t there…

Our delusions come in many forms and they’re all used to reinforce the delusion of “I”. The way the mind has been conditioned makes us perceive life as if we’re on a roller coaster; you can’t get off it until it’s realized you‘re 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 roller coaster; look and see what it is that keeps you on the roller coaster of the Conditioned Mind.

Our life becomes one task after another and we basically do the same things over and over. Our delusion is 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 magnificence of each moment can only be understood by a mind that is quiet enough to become aware of it. The burdened delusions are a result of conditioned thinking. To get off this roller coaster you must be free of conditioned thinking, and to be free of conditioned thinking, the magnificence 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 magnificence of life by living each moment unto itself. Or not and carry around the burden of past moments and stay on the roller coaster; you can get off anytime you want, but that will be up to you…

Life Events

Life is eventful, it’s your own Conditioned Mind through what you think that gives them control. Your mind creates your entire existence through the manifestation of a single thought…

There are events that one would rather not happen, but they happen anyway; they have to be accepted or there will never be peace in your life. This is true at least to where you can be with the events instead of getting bogged down in wanting things different. Although the small stuff can seem difficult, life altering things are seen as devastating if there isn’t awareness of how it’s your own Conditioned Mind that makes this so. Loss of loved ones, homes destroyed along with all your possessions and memories, accidents, and illnesses, these are just some of the events that can alter your state if they’re not accepted for what they are; and what they are is nothing but a thought.

Life is eventful and through your thoughts they appear as the mind makes them appear. There is nothing to life except what the Conditioned Mind makes it out to be. The mind uses thought to create an entire existence that is only real to you. The more life is lived in this manner, the more difficult it is to accept life’s daily events. This lack of acceptance is only because of a lack of understanding of one’s own mind. It’s your own mind that creates the appearance that life has difficulties. This happens because of being entrapped to the thought that everything is as it appears, but only because of the conditioning that makes this so…

A Heart Transformed

You can never repay the love that you are given, but you can allow the Universe to transform your heart and share it with our entire human family, unconditionally…

The Universe, God, Abba, Father, Allah, Mohammad, Jesus, or whatever name you use, is the energy of a love so deep it’s difficult to understand unless the mind gets quiet. Using a name to try and describe the indescribable is just noise. Once it’s truly understood how much you are loved by the Universe, your heart transforms. When this occurs you will want nothing more then to dedicate the rest of your life to returning the love that you have been given.This is when you will understand what it means to have a heart transformed. 

It’s the love of the Universe that does the transforming because when the love of the Universe opens your heart, you have no choice but to do the only thing you can, and that is to dedicate the rest of your life by being grateful for the love you have been so freely given. You can never repay the love that you are given, but you can allow the Universe to use you to share it with our entire human family, unconditionally.

We are not a product of ourselves, we are a product of the Universe. We did not call for our creation, nor do we call for the time when it ends. Our conditioning is also a product of the Universe, so is the energy of a transformed heart; there is no separation. This is why we can’t really do anything to transform ourselves. We can only do the necessary practice that allows the heart to transform so the Universe can use us for its betterment…
