Distracted Distractions

You cannot see anything other than the way you see it. This doesn’t mean you have to remain this way, but if you’re unaware of the way you see things, there will be very little room for anything else…

As situations occur daily in life, the reactions will be determined by the distractions in place. There’s nothing wrong in the reactions themselves, we can only live our life with the distraction that are developed. You can take a situation with ten people involved in it and you will probably see ten different ways of reacting to the situation. The more unaware you are of your inner spiritual nature, the less love there will be at the core of your reactions. This is just the way it is. It can’t be any other way. Your reactions can’t be based in love if you’re distracted of the love that’s in your heart. The love is always there, but since there’s not awareness of it, it’s impossible for it to manifest.

Our reactions become what they are because our Conditioned Mind creates distractions to the love that’s in our heart. The more we are distracted by things, the less we are in touch with our heart. To be loveless it seems is to be heartless, but not really, to be heartless is to be distracted; love is always there. This is why the practice of quietness has so much value, because it lessens the distractions, and with less distractions we become more aware of a life that’s based in love. It’s a love that is and will always be there, but by being distracted by distractions it’s very difficult to be aware of this. These distractions are formed from thought so thought is at the core of all distractions. Don’t give the thought energy and it will not create a distraction. All distractions are mind noise, that’s why learning to be still is invaluable. The distractions will never cease on their own, discipline is needed to allow them to dissipate. Noise is what’s there so the distractions have to be there. When it’s learned to be still the distractions will quiet and the love in your heart will naturally manifest…
