Thought Trap

Thought traps are endless, but understand the traps come from your own mind. Even though there are conditioned triggers, it’s because of the attachment to thoughts is why there are traps…

If you’re practicing living a spiritual life, but you don’t know your own mind, it’s like wanting to be healthy, but not reducing the amount of junk food you eat; your results will be non existent. If you don’t notice the thought traps, the whole point of any practice will be missed. This is because the trap of thoughts for things outside makes looking inward difficult. There are so many things in place that prevent looking inward from happening, if it doesn’t happen you’ll remain in bondage to your thought traps. The traps aren’t real because when there’s even the slightest opening to allow what’s within to be seen, the expansion beyond the thought traps begins.

Thought traps are very enticing, if they weren’t the percentage of conscious and unconscious beings would be reversed. It’s not this way because the thought traps are in control; these traps are only real because of perception. There’s no denying they’re there, but they’re in control because there’s a fictitious belief the traps are needed. We alone are the creators of this and if one doesn’t have an open mind, the thought traps will continue their onslaught of control. To me, the only way around this is to develop awareness of the thought traps…

Hearing Life

If things aren’t done that put you in harmony with life, it will be impossible to hear what life has to say. For this to change it’s imperative to learn about one’s own mind which will go a long way in allowing one to hear what life is saying…

Just observe how the mind justifies all that it does. It has never been trained to be still so it creates most of our problems just so it has something to do. It says to do something and turns around and questions why it was done. It should be treated as a separate entity as if it’s the enemy because upon further review it will be seen that it is. The mind is not truly the enemy, it’s the way it has been conditioned, that’s the true enemy. 

This conditioning blocks the true nature of the mind from arising. It’s only conditioned to be this way because of all the surrounding noise, but it is we ourselves (unconsciously) who listen to habitual mind patterns. Learning about one’s own mind is a way to undo what we ourselves have done. This learning of one’s mind is not about great secrets, it’s more so about getting an understanding of why the things that are done don’t put one in harmony to hear what life is saying. When this is understood, why one responds to things a certain way will be known. After all, if one doesn’t do the things in their life that allows harmony with it, one will never hear what life has to say…

Never Ending Chase

The belief that the next thing attained will make you complete is what keeps you in the mode of the never ending chase. The chasing stops when it’s realized you’re already complete…

There will be completeness when this happens next, the next fix, the next satisfaction, or the next whatever is used for the never ending chase. Chasing what’s next goes on to infinity, it never ends until it’s realized there is no end and one will always be chasing that which is already here; who is the chaser and why all this chasing. Either there’s completeness now with the way things are or there isn’t. You may think chasing the next whatever will bring utopia, but it never ends because there’s nothing to truly attain that ends the chase. The Conditioned Mind will tell you different and that’s why there’s chasing. What really needs to be asked is who is doing the never ending chasing and why? The fictional character of self that’s been made up to think things need to be a certain way for completeness is just that, fictional and this is why there’s the never ending chase.

The self that makes up this nonsense that you’re incomplete is just a story of incompleteness; this is what keeps one chasing. The dream of attaining a certain status, the next promotion, the trophy partner, the next book, the next, the next, the next, whatever keeps you in the never ending mode of the chase. A chase that will either end because this is realized or because life in this forms ends. The chase will end one day. How it ends will be determined if you spend your entire life chasing after that which is already here or if you stop chasing because it’s realized you‘re already complete…
