Settled Mind Truth

Meditation allows for one to go inward so truth is revealed. A truth that requires a settled mind so it can arise…

When there’s no need for reading, writing, reciting prayers, attending meetings, helping others or anything else for that matter, it allows for the so called mud in the lake (the mind) to settle. The mud will never settle and the water will remain cloudy until there’s stillness that allows the water to stop moving. Most ignorance arises from thinking the mud will settle on its own although the lake is constantly being stirred up.

The Conditioned Mind creates ignorance, this ignorance creates suffering which blocks truth from being seen and keeps one on the Merry-go-round of the Conditioned Mind. Until this is seen the mud in the lake will never settle and one will never be able to get off the Merry-go-round as you remain a slave to the conditioning and ignorance of yourself and others. But if it’s learned to say yes to what is, what stirs the mud (the mind) that holds you captive to your own ignorance will settle…

Conflicts Within

Existence is continuous until one day it’s not. It becomes conflicted within because of the attachment to self. Without this attachment, the beauty of life unfolds as the conflicts within fall away…

The real cause of any issue with life is not with what actually happens, but how we attach a self to it. Life occurs regardless of the self, but what attachment does is it makes it conflicted within by isolating it and making it personal. Life is neutral until it’s attached to, then it becomes an event that’s all about the self. Without self, conflicts within don’t happen, life just occurs. I’m not insinuating a self exist or not, all I’m saying is the attachment to self is at the root of all conflicts within; if you want to be free of the conflicts within, you‘ll have to be free of the attachment to self…

Created Shackles

Whatever it is that holds you captive becomes your shackle. If you don’t stop making what arises a shackle and make room in your heart for love, you’re the one who will suffer the most…

The choice to hold on to something and make it a shackle is the cause of suffering. There really isn’t a choice in this because of the way the Conditioned Mind controls. Suffering is inevitable when the Conditioned Mind makes everything a shackle. If this is to change, you’ll have to make room in your heart so your shackles are replaced by stillness and love. There’s no way around this, make whatever you want a shackle, but understand when it passes something else will replace it. Today it’s politics, tomorrow it’s the job, the co-worker, traffic, or something else; this will never change until there’s room in your heart for love. If you hold on to a person and loathe them, you’re blocking the space for a loving heart, this is strong language, but it’s true.

Love of the heart can only happen without any conditioning. The Conditioned Mind doesn’t allow most to see this, it prefers to create shackles. I can say I have love for all beings, what I don’t love is the conditioning in place. I understand it and I choose not to create shackles and feed into conditioned nonsense. To hold on to things is to suffer regardless of who or what you’re holding on to because it becomes your shackle. This is truth; you cannot be separate from the energy that is in you. Stop creating shackles and make room in your heart for love. If you don’t you’re the one who will suffer the most by creating shackle after shackle of what you’re holding on to…
