Inner Tension

The inner tension that keeps you from your peace has nothing to do with life. The inner tension is a creation of your own mind that makes you believe you’re not at peace…

There are practical ways to minimize the inner tension that causes one to sabotage their own existence, but it has to be understood that the mind creating the tension can’t undo what it creates. You’ll have to find out why your own mind is telling you tension is needed to cope with life; a mind that is controlled by the conditioning to create inner tension. Your own mind creates all the inner tension you have by choosing to attach to thoughts that give the tension energy; this unconscious conditioning is why inner tension arises. The Conditioned Mind creates this as you do things that are destructive to your own well being. Why this inner tension is developed I’m not sure, but I do know it can be described only as insane because your own mind creates it.

I know now it was my own mind that created inner tension which arose from within myself. Because of the shift that occurred some years ago there‘s now awareness so tension isn’t created the way it was in the past. I sit for the sole purpose to develop discipline which allows the mind to settle. If there isn’t discipline, your conditioning won’t be understood nor will the reason inner tension arises. This will lead you to being led around like a puppet on a string. Life does nothing to you, it’s your own mind that creates your life. Living in a place of tension as opposed to a place of peace will never be different until the conditioning that makes it so is different. All I ever wanted was to be at peace, but it was always elusive because I wasn’t aware it was my own mind that created the inner tension that made peace elusive…

Corrupt Mentality

There’s so much of a corrupt mentality in our society today that it’s almost impossible to break its hold. The reason for this is because the thing being held onto is attached to by the corrupt mentality of “I”…

A corrupt 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 corrupt 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 corrupt mentality returns. Understanding this is beneficial because it allows for a clear vision which keeps the mind open to honesty instead of corruption. If everything stays in the head as corrupt intellect, it will be difficult to break free from the energy of this. The more attachment there is to corrupt 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 corrupt mentality to crucify, the energy intensified. If you research some of the conquerors of the past, you will see exactly how the corrupt mentality works. As their reigns widened and their tyranny expanded, the corrupt 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 of it because of the attached corrupt mentality of “I” that keeps it in place. This includes trying to help others if the corrupt mentality is focused on “I” instead of the intuitive love of the heart. Until “I” is addressed, few people will break free from the corrupt energy because the attached mentality won’t allow space between your thoughts as the energy of “I” remains in control…

Internal Source

Nothing external has ever given anyone a true answer. Answers are always provided internally. Add one plus two, where does your answer come from? Know your internal source and all your answers will be provided…

Although we look externally for answers, the source to all our answers is internal. True answers will never be provided from an external source because one doesn’t exist. Our internal source is the Universe of which we were created, so to search for answers externally is the first misstep in the delusional grasping that causes humanity’s suffering. This searching for an external source is why we reach outside for our answers. There is no source externally, that’s why we’re in a constant state of flux. We think answers are outside of ourselves, temporarily it seems as they are, but because there is no true external source our mind agitations return and so does our state of flux. When our true internal source is known, our mind agitations subside along with the state of flux.

You cannot know your true self if you don’t understand the internal source of whence you came. You will still exist, but that existence will not be based in truth. It will be based in the delusion that there’s an external source responsible for existence. Think of this, if there was no Universe you would not exist so how can anything be external from you because everything arises from the internal source. The Universe is the very nature of existence, it’s the only reason we exist. If it’s not internal then it isn’t real because creation itself is internal. The Universe is the source of all creation so creation cannot be from anywhere but the source. The source and creation are one, internal to each other; this is our existence, the internal source of all that is…

Delusional Reality

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

The way the base of thoughts are formulated determines if what’s seen 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 the delusional thoughts of what’s occurring. The more unaware you are of this, the more your thoughts use a delusional story 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 delusional life is being lived; when this happens a persons entire existence is one delusional after another. 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 the thought they’re real, but the thought isn’t what’s actually occurring so two realities are happening at the same time. One is delusionally 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 a delusional life. 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 will remain which in turn makes your life a delusional reality…

Eyes Closed View

Accepting everything as it is seems like a very tall order, but the alternative is to not accept it and look at things from an eyes closed view (wanting things different) and in the process cause your own suffering…

Nothing stays the same so it’s not the changes that occur in life that throw you for a loop, it’s the eyes closed view that things will always be a certain way, this is what makes change much more difficult to accept. If everything could be accepted as it is, you would never be thrown for a loop because the eyes closed view that tells you things should remain as they are wouldn’t occur. Accepting everything as it is seems like a very tall order, but the alternative is to not accept it and look at things from an eyes closed view and in the process cause your own suffering…

For one to get beyond their eyes closed view, it has to be understood that it’s your own mind that’s causing it. Life is what’s seen through the way it’s created and it’s created through how it’s viewed. Why a view is considered closed is because of how the mind reacts when changes occur and it isn’t accepted. This view keeps the mind closed to the conditioning that sees things blindly; if this conditioning isn’t changed nor will the eyes closed view change. It’s not that a certain view needs to be implemented, all that’s needed is to be aware of the eyes closed thinking. Awareness is key if there’s to be change because it allows for acceptance, and when the world can be accepted as it is, good, bad, or indifferent, just maybe one will view life without an eyes closed view…

Storied Labels

Every story made to label something limits it to whatever storied label is being applied. Concepts and beliefs are storied labels that limit what the Universe has to offer…

The Universe needs no permission to do what it does. It responds to things out of necessity, and it does so unconditionally; without a story of what label to apply. It exists as it is, adding nothing because it needs nothing; the Universe is self sustaining. It creates, it destroys, it neither loves nor hates in the sense of emotions, what it is doesn’t need a story label. It’s pure energy and it’s from this energy that everything is created. This energy is existence in its purest state. The moment a storied label is applied, it loses its sense of purity.

Humans apply all kinds of storied labels to life, but life doesn’t need them, humans do. The place of non labelled attachments is the only true place of existence; it’s in this place, in the midst of the Universe that our true essence is. It’s a place that is here, there, and everywhere, but not because of a storied labeled. Stillness exists as life. If a storied label is needed, apply it, just understand it limits. Once a storied label is applied it creates resistance. If a storied label is needed, make it to be about the unlimited space of what the Universe puts in front of you. The Universe is within each and every person. It’s where everyone arises from, but it’s a storied label that limits the awareness of what the Universe has to offer…

Holding On Limits

The incessant need to hold onto things limits life. Understanding this 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 holding onto things. I have found the unexplained is best left alone because an answer wouldn’t really enhance life. As things occur, what’s held onto is associated with existence, but only if they’re allowed to control your life like a master puppeteer. Most people hold onto the incessant need for labels, but understanding something is different 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 holding on which isn’t truly needed. Holding onto addiction doesn’t stop one from being an addict, but an understanding of addiction may; as a matter of fact this is exactly what happened to me.

The Universe holds onto nothing in its process so nor do the origin of our thoughts need to be held onto. The understanding of how thoughts are held onto and what behaviors manifest from the holding on is the difference between being at peace with life or struggling with it. Some will disagree with 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 see how much control my Conditioned Mind had over me. Past tense is used on purpose because its control is much less today. Holding onto why this occurred 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 holding onto what happens in life will not enhance it in the way understanding your own mind will…
