Inner Disturbance
All disturbances arise from within yourself; they’re from your internal mind chaos. Without discipline, the mind will never settle nor will the disturbance of needing things different…
The world is in a state of chaos, but not with each other as you may think, it’s with ourselves. The lack of understanding of your own mind is the cause of all disturbances; most people haven’t a clue this is the cause of all external chaos. We lash out at people, have road rage, try to change people, constantly seek to alter the way we feel because we were never taught how to just be with life as it is, and be with who we are as we are. There would never be a need for anything to be different if you had the ability to just be with life. If you don’t neutral accept how the way things are, what makes you think that if things were different there would be acceptance; you would still have disturbances that make you reach for things externally.
There’s external reaching because you want to alter how you feel. My mind was always disturbed, and because there wasn’t an understanding of the Conditioned Mind, my disturbances weren’t understood. It didn’t matter what happened, by not having the ability to just be the mind becomes disturbed and chaos arises. Nothing causes a disturbance unless it’s allowed. If something bothers you and it can be changed by all means change it, but it needs to be looked at why you’re disturbed to begin with. Even if the thing is changed, without an understanding of your own mind, you will just move onto the next thing which will just cause you to become disturbed once again…
Inner Lights View
It’s the outer view of satisfying “I” that keeps you from seeing the inner light of your own innate beauty; this beauty is a result of the light that comes from looking inward…
No one is more special than another in this existence, but there are some who do see their inner light beyond the outer view. Although no one is chosen, I would say what makes this happen for some and not others is some let go of the outer view which allows them to see their inner light view. I have lived two existences, one which was from the outer view where there was much self inflicted suffering. The other is the one I’m living now which is an inner view which allows me to see my own inner light. The differences in the two views is one created suffering and was done in ignorance, the one today is lived in awareness of the ignorance. Today my view is as it is because the outer distractions don’t control me as much as they once did. I’m still in the world, but I’m not as controlled by it.
The inner light view that is seen is a by product of awareness as the outer view is let go of. This opens up space to allow wisdom and insights to occur. This opening is directly linked to the letting go of “I”. It’s “I” that attaches and is the cause of all suffering. Ever so slowing when one begins to look inward the outer distraction of “I” falls away. To me, this is what was revealed to the great mystic’s that were considered special, but all they did was look inward. This looking inward is available to all, but you will have to overcome the outer view of “I” to not be distracted from it. It’s the outer view that keeps you from seeing the inner light of your own innate beauty which can only be seen when you look inward…
