Irrelevant Wanting

The Conditioned Mind creates a view based in fulfilling irrelevant wanting. It’s difficult to break free of this because irrelevant wanting is reinforced daily. A mind aware of this is aware of awareness…

To me, life struggles have nothing to do with life, it’s the view based in irrelevant wanting that causes struggles; this view is controlled by the Conditioned Mind. When irrelevant wanting is fulfilled and things are going your way, there’s not much of a struggle; life is considered good. When things are going the way that you want, what causes your struggles are pushed aside. When this is done it makes the base of life centered in irrelevant wanting as you get pulled around by the Conditioned Mind like a dog on a leash.

The more control the Conditioned Mind has, the more suffering there is in your life. Sometimes it’s very subtle, but it’s there. As a matter of fact even if you’re not aware of being controlled by your irrelevant wanting, it still produces suffering. The suffering doesn’t occur because you don’t get your way, it occurs just by being in a state where the irrelevant wanting of the Conditioned Mind is in control.

The less the irrelevant wanting which just wants what you want when you want it, is the base of your view, the less you struggle with yourself and with life. This is simply because irrelevant wanting isn’t in control. When you’re unaware of this, the Conditioned Mind creates chaos by irrelevant wanting; there’s immense suffering in this. Practice being in a space of presence where there is no irrelevant wanting. In this space. you don’t have irrelevant wanting so you don’t entertain the energy that causes suffering; a free mind is energy free of irrelevant wanting…

Doing Nothing

Without awareness of the mind becoming stirred up in the absence of something to do, the Conditioned Mind will create story after story just to do something…

The most difficult thing I have ever done in my life is to learn how to do nothing in spite of the conditioning in place telling me to do. To not give in to the stirred up mind that tells me to do this, do that, reach for this or reach for that is so difficult because of the lack of discipline to do nothing and also the lack of understanding of why it’s so difficult to do nothing. Even with discipline and this understanding, it’s difficult because of all the outer influences and inner conditioning. To do nothing is not something many master. I’m not talking about sitting in meditation or taking a nap, I mean being wide awake without having to do something. For forty nine years this wasn’t noticed by me because I was never still long enough to be aware my stirred up mind. I like so many was a doer; a slave to my Conditioned Mind. 

For some this doing doesn’t seem like much of an issue because the doings aren’t noticeably destructive, but make no mistake a doing is a doing and one is a slave to doing regardless how productive or subtle it may seem. Without awareness of the mind becoming stirred up in the absence of something to do, the Conditioned Mind creates story after story just to do; the stories will be based in whatever conditioning you have in place. You can only do what the conditioning in place dictates and without the stirred up mind being noticed, the conditioning is usually based in doing something for selfish reasons. Even if one wants to save the world, who says the world needs saving. Not doing allows for one to truly be an instrument of love by simply being, but this will only occur if you notice you don’t have to do…

Imaginary Void

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

For many years I had an imaginary void that was created from a lack of understanding that love was within me. That’s why I constantly reached outside myself for things, I have since come to understand that love is within. This imaginary 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 an imaginary 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 an imaginary void; the truth of this has been revealed to me.

This imaginary 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 an imaginary lie of the Conditioned Mind that keeps one constantly needing the present moment to be different; it keeps one reaching to fill it. This will need to be understood if the reaching is to ever end. When it’s understood, the imaginary 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 imaginary void is seen for the lie that it is…

Lack of Common Sense

There’s so much lack of common sense in our society today that it’s almost impossible to break its hold. The reason for this is because the things followed are attached to by the lack of common sense of “I”…

The lack of common sense 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 lack of common sense 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 lack of common sense 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 intellect, it will be difficult to break free from the energy of this. The more attachment there is to thinking that lacks common sense, 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 energy that lacked common sense to crucify, the lack of common sense energy intensified. If you research some of the conquerors of the past, you will see exactly how this lack of common sense works. As their reigns widened and their tyranny expanded, the lack of common sense 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 lack of common sense of “I” that keeps it in place. This even includes many trying to help others if the focus is on “I” instead of the intuitive love of the heart. Until “I” is addressed, few people will ever truly break free from the lack of common sense energy because the attached mentality won’t allow space between your thoughts as the energy of “I” remains in control…

Heart Opportunities

Your center of being is in your heart and what’s in your heart is determined by how opportunities are used to either fulfill self serving desires or being an instrument of goodness that comes from the heart…

When a heart opportunity presents itself to help a person to possibly reduce some of the suffering the Conditioned Mind produces, there’s an obligation to be a benefit to that person. But tread lightly as the person can only take advantage of the opportunity if their heart is to awaken within them. If nothing happens nothing is lost, but what if something clicks and their view of their heart changes; their gain is the worlds gain.

Understand this, you cannot give away what you don’t have, so get it and give it so the world becomes a better place. As long as people are kept in the dark of a self serving mind, darkness rules, but when there’s awareness of the heart you become a light. There is no greater reward than to be an instrument for goodness, a light in a world that has the shades pulled down. Those shades are what keeps people in their ignorance (darkness). To watch a person change right before your eyes is amazing, but the opportunity will only present if your center of being is of the heart…

Your Own Energy

We’re all products of someone else’s energy so no belief, idea, concept, or view can truly be called our own. These are all derived from some outer energy so someone else’s life is mostly lived…

The view that’s developed over the course of time makes life what it is, but this isn’t to say one is right and another is wrong or that one is better than the other. I’m just stating a fact that we’re mostly a product of someone else’s energy and what view we have in place is only there because of that energy in our life. Not one single moment that’s in the past can be changed so there’s no reason to ever give someone else’s view a second thought. Giving it a second thought is just a waste of our limited precious time, unfortunately that’s the base of the energy most people have. The past will always be the past and nothing will ever change it, but we don’t have to be controlled by it.

There comes a time in every life when you know the only place to find what you’ve been looking for is within yourself. When there’s awareness of this, what’s usually revealed is what’s been sought has always been there. This is the inner view that needs to be cultivated if you’re to ever be free of the energy that was put in place by others. There’s so much energy that molds and shapes our entire existence, until there’s awareness of this, the view in place will be someone else’s. Truly look at this, mom, dad, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, teachers, friends, tv, radio, and so on, everyone of them had some energy directed on our current view; no belief, idea, concept and view can truly be called our own.

The importance of awareness is it allows the breaking free of this conditioned energy. How you do this is by sitting and allowing a settled mind to become your energy. This won’t happen overnight, but with perseverance the energy of others will slowly lose its grip and the energy of the heart (love) will become your new view. This just so happens to be who you truly are without the energy of anyone else; this is the energy that allow you to begin to truly live your own life…

Addictive Reaching

Don’t let addictive reaching keep you in an unconscious state. All addictive reaching (attachment) has consequences regardless of what’s addictively reached for…

If you’re always addictively reaching for something it’s because you don’t think what you have is enough; if you don’t think you have enough, there will always be something to addictively reach for. Addictive reaching isn’t something that’s inherently a bad thing, why one reaches addictively is where issues arise; this is because one thinks something is missing. What is addictively reached for only matters to the degree in how the thing affects your life. The addiction to drink alcohol in access has consequences much different than the addiction to go to a program to stop using it. But the addictions core is the same and that’s what needs to be examined. Don’t let the different consequences of addictive reaching lull you into unconsciousness because all reaching leads to bondage in one form or another, and as stated this includes all addictions.

You might say that’s not true, an addiction to better yourself is a good thing, but that would mean you need things to be different to accept yourself. Accepting life exactly in the present is the only place the peace of not needing to addictively have things different is experienced. I’m not saying don’t better yourself, but if it’s at the expense of your peace of mind, where’s the benefit. I say go for the gold, just understand even if it’s attained you will find it’s not providing the benefits you thought it would; shortly afterwards more gold will be addictively reached for. Investigate this and see how addictions arise from desire, and desire causes bondage (attachment) which causes suffering. Break free from the addictive reaching of desiring things different and you will inevitably stop suffering…
