Delusional Reality

Understanding the nature of a delusional reality is one of the attributes of waking up, but it’s not the delusional world that you wake up from, it’s the delusional reality that runs your life…

What is the delusional reality that runs your life? A delusional reality manifest as you attach to your thoughts. The first thought about something is inconsequential, it’s the attachment to the second thought that forms the delusional reality. To understand the delusional reality there must be awareness of your attachments, desires, confusions, and the way your mind works; without this the puppet on string pattern prevails. Certain practices turn you inward to see this, if what you’re doing doesn’t turn you inward, you will remain a slave to your delusional state of mind. This is why nothing from the outside truly changes a person because the outside is part of the delusional reality. A delusional mind can’t fix itself, and as long as it’s reaching for something on the outside, it remains trying to fix itself and thus it remains delusional. Until this truth is seen, things will remain as they are because nothing is being done to change it.

You can only know what is known if there’s awareness of it. What this means is you have to develop mindfulness of what you’re doing as you’re doing it so there’s awareness of what’s being done. If you know what you’re doing as you’re doing it, it leaves little room for a delusional reality to control. Mindfulness is the single most important discipline to develop as it anchors you in the moment of what’s being done right now. Delusions only occur when you live in the story that there’s a past or future; mind made constructs keep the delusional reality in place. The present moment can be seen without making it a story (even though it passes as quickly as it arises) but the past and future can never truly be seen without a story; without the discipline to be present, the world is seen through a delusional state of mind thus reality is delusional…

Wanting Heart

Wanting from the heart is from the urging of the moment of what is as opposed to wanting from the head which is from a wanting to fulfill some Conditioned Mind desire of the flesh…

A want is a want is a want. There isn’t much difference between the want of a drink of alcohol, heroin, a piece of candy, sex, money, a certain social status, notoriety, enlightenment, and on and on. Why I say this is because whenever a want arises it means the mind has become agitated and it is looking for something to quiet the agitation; this means life is wanted to be in some other way. When this occurs and wanting is the base of a given moment, it makes what’s occurring in that moment arise from a mind that’s discontented.

By wanting the moment in some other way, what is being implied is that something is missing and is needed for completeness. If this wasn’t true there would be no wanting. There would be no wanting if one realized they already had everything that was needed for completeness. But want if that's what’s there, enjoy it and don’t want the wanting to be different. Just learn to understand it and be with it so you don’t want it to be in some other way. Want to your hearts content and then the wanting will not be from a mind that wants. It will be from the heart because when something comes from the heart it isn’t wanting because its comes from an urging of what’s there…

Unity Energy

Existence began as energy and out of that energy humanity arose. Although we may not look and talk the same we’re all from the same unity energy so our differences are only superficial…

The value of the mind settling is priceless because it allows you to be aware of the unity energy of life. Here’s a story to show what can happen. It’s a story about a pumpkin patch where everyday the pumpkins fight with each other. The gardener who takes care of them would keep the peace as best he could, but to no avail the moment he left, the fighting would commence. One day the fighting was really out of control and the gardener suggested meditation to the pumpkins. Although the pumpkins were reluctant, they did it. The fighting finally subsided as the pumpkins settled down and became quiet.

As this quietness took hold, one of the pumpkins noticed there was something on top of his head. As this was investigated it was noticed that it went to the pumpkin that it was just fighting with. As these two discussed this and investigated this further, it was discovered that all the pumpkins in this patch were connected. It was also understood that this meant they were all connected. The awareness of this which arose from the quietness of meditating, showed their bond. No longer did the pumpkins fight, matter of fact they become one of the best producing pumpkin patches of their time.

Substitute the pumpkins with people and it really isn’t that far fetched. Without something in place that allows the mind to settle, most of the drama that occurs in life wouldn’t happen. The only way anything new is allowed into your life is if the old isn’t taking up all of your minds space. Space is needed to see what’s truly going on and if there isn’t any nothing new will be seen and the old will continue to run the show. Our connection as humans isn’t seen because of all the noise going on. Unfortunately it will continue until people notice as the pumpkins did, that we’re all connected and created from the same energy…

Objectionable Expectations

Objectionable expectations are noticed when things aren’t as they are wanted, but even when things are in your favor, the Conditioned Mind still controls because of how it clings…

Let go and be free or hold on and suffer, those are the choices. Expect things a certain way, but when they’re not, it produces the next step in the process to react to the results of objectionable expectations. When there’s expectations there’s labeling, and when there are labels, there’s clinging; this is how an objectionable mind is developed. The more you label, the more there’s expectations which make you cling. Even when things work out the way they are wanted there’s still clinging, but it’s not noticed as a problem because the situation is as it’s wanted. The objectionable mind clings to everything that’s labeled, and it labels everything so there’s clinging to everything, but it’s not noticed because of the focus on the things objectionable.

Life is one continuous expectation; it’s the disappointing ones that most think their mind clings to. Most people are unaware of the moment by moment labeling process. When the mind quiets enough to understand this, the labeling process of everything as this or that lessens and so do the objectionable expectations. This results in a mind that is free of clinging to the effects of objectionable expectations; without these expectations it’s impossible to suffer…

Awareness of Energy

The quality of life in this form is determined by the awareness of your energy output. As this energy builds on itself, awareness determines what the base of your life will be…

It’s very important to have awareness of the energy you live by, it will either come from the heart or the mind. There will either be awareness of this or not. When there’s awareness of this, living from the heart naturally becomes the way you live. Energy builds on itself regardless of what it is. To me, this is the “Law of Attraction” as it has been revealed. When there’s awareness of energy, there’s stillness which determines life’s direction; life arises from this stillness. This isn’t a doing, it’s a transformation occurring from stillness itself.

What’s unfortunate about this is the opposite is also true, at least this has been my experience. For years not being aware of this based my life with self-serving energy, and although I mostly got what I wanted, there wasn’t much satisfaction. This self-serving energy built on itself also and it doesn’t take a genius to see why my life prior to my shift was the way it was; the energy to self-serve manifested in the only way it could. What energy is in place will determine what manifests, there’s no way around this; you can only be what your energy is.

Sit with this awareness of energy and see how it builds on itself. Life doesn’t make it what it is, awareness makes it what it is. To a large degree we are all the creator of our own reality, and that reality will be determined by the energy you’re awareness of. Positive, negative, noisy, quiet, one of these will determine the direction of your life. It’s not up to the outside circumstances that determines this. Awareness of energy determines how what happens is dealt with, how it is built on, and the way future circumstances will be dealt with. You can only build on the energy in place and that’s determined by what your awareness is based in. The life you build is up to you, you alone are the creator of your reality because energy builds on itself…

Peace of Now

The only way you will ever be truly at peace is without the attachment that something other than this moment will provide peace. When this is understood so too will your peace be understood…

Everyone has attachments, no one goes through life without it, but attachment isn’t the real issue, the issues arise when the attachment becomes your controlling energy. A few years ago my mom was sick so I wrote the story of my mom not doing well. How it affected me is how I could have made it into an attachment, but there wasn’t attachment, I understood it was just what was happening. Since there are five siblings in my family, we all have a different attachment to my mom, none were the right or wrong one, they were just what each of us perceived.

Here’s why the controlling energy of attachment creates an issue. Someone posted how happy they were that in a few days they were going on vacation; this means right now they’re not happy. Although this seems innocent, it’s not because this simple statement blocks out truly living life and being at peace now. This is the issue attachment energy creates, it doesn’t allow you to be with the fullness of the life that’s actually occurring in the moment. It’s always the attachment to this or that. Fill in your own attachment, I will be at peace when______, whatever is added is the attachment energy that blocks your peace. The only way you will ever truly be at peace is without the attachment that something other than this moment will provide peace. When this is understood so will your peace of now be understood…

Impractical Tools

There’s an energy that occurs in life that keeps impractical tools in place without investigating them. The issue with this is how these impractical tools are passed on to others…

If there are impractical actions and reactions in your daily decision making process without investigation, there will be many decisions made without knowing what is truly practical. When these tools are passed on to others it equates to the blind leading the blind; very few people truly understand the Conditioned Mind. Without the discipline that provides some stillness, impractical energy is followed simply because it’s in place. To the Conditioned Mind there’s no need for questions because it has all the answers. Saying I’m not there yet is just crazy, and it’s a created block that hampers the ability to live in a practical way. If you’re not there yet wherever there is, you will never get there. What amazes me is how people settle for a place just because it’s comfortable and someone else says it’s practical.

To me, it’s mind boggling how a person holds on to what is impractical and doesn’t even consider there might be another way to see things. What’s mind boggling about this is how this impractical energy keeps you in a self created prison that causes suffering; life doesn’t cause suffering the impractical Conditioned Mind does. Unless you’re willing to sit and allow the mind to settle, the impractical energy of the Conditioned Mind will remain in place and you’ll continue to use impractical non beneficial tools that cause suffering. Here’s the real issue with this, these tools are passed on to others and this makes it as though the blind are leading the blind…

Unwavering Resolve

A solid footing and strong roots are essential in trying times as well as in good ones because there will be test. And if an unwavering resolve isn’t firmly in place, the test will throw you for a loop out without hesitation…

The test of life will never cause defeat when an unwavering root system is in place. Standing on solid ground and having strong roots are essential in trying times as well as in the seemingly good times because the test will come regardless. How unwavering the roots are will determine how much can be withstood. Being on solid ground when the test comes sometimes seems as though they hit a breaking point, but an unwavering resolve to stay firmly rooted in truth will return you to your strong foundation. This occurs not because you’re strong, it occurs because you’re unwavering rooted, this provides the support needed in the midst of any test. 

Many things will test your resolve in life, but understand it’s not life doing it, it’s just the nature of how things are. The important thing is to have unwavering roots strong enough to bend but not break. Circumstances and other people’s belief will test you, without unwavering roots you will succumb to the pressure. It will be difficult to resist and it will be as though you become uprooted, but understand you are as strong and as resilient as your root system. Make it as unwavering as possibly so when a test comes your way, you may bend a bit, but you will have an unwavering resolve not to break…

Being Who You Are

The value of knowing yourself is priceless because it allows the mind to settle into who you are instead of needing to pretend to be something that you’re not…

One of the insights revealed to me is having the awareness of my own presence. What is meant by this is to be aware of who I am and not try to be who I am not. When my book was published I was thinking of ways to get its message to people. Just by the fact that it was written I knew there was a valuable message to share about how my view of life became different. Shortly afterwards I started writing and posting articles on social media sites. One day I was contacted by a site to write articles for them, I thought this was a great way to get my books message some exposure. After about six articles the admin of the site said people were contacting her about my articles, saying they were like teachings and asked if I could make them more inspirational. I thought about it and decided I couldn’t compromise the message revealed to me. I told her I wouldn’t change my style; I didn’t write another article for them.

It was important for me to stand my ground on what was revealed to me then and it’s just as important today. The value of knowing who you are is priceless because it allows the mind to settle instead of needing a pretending story. I don’t pretend to be this loving spiritual head in the clouds person; I am what I am. If there was such a thing as a spiritual labors union, I would be the head of it; I’m a blue collared spiritual person. I understand many things, but my feet are always planted where I am so if it’s not happening now it doesn’t really matter all that much to me. I’ve learned early on not to live between my ears trying to be something that I’m not. What this allows is to not have any pretending energy within myself and in the process just be at peace with who I am. Not everyone agrees with my style of writing or what I write, but at the end of the day it’s me who I’m with and I’m grateful there’s no reason to pretend to be something that I’m not…

Stories Block Truth

When you hold onto beliefs that are created by stories which is noise, you can’t hear regardless of how much truth there is in what’s being said…

What’s the difference if you make up a story that you believe in evolution or if there’s a supreme being, it’s really only a story that you make up and attach to. Or how about this, one day your story is there’s a God and one day your story is there’s no such thing as God; it’s the same mind creating both stories. Do what you may, but understand you make up your entire identity and attach it to a story created by your Conditioned Mind. This is a powerful truth that most people will not see because there isn’t the silence necessary to see it. There are no real facts associated to any of your stories, they’re just a collection of thoughts. When there’s a lot of thinking that’s when your Conditioned Mind is able to create a story. The story that I am this or that, they’re all just a story.

It’s like an addict, some use alcohol, some drugs, some gamble, some use sex or even success. This is another one of those list that goes on and on, but the main thing to understand is we are all addicts regardless of the story of what’s used. It’s only being used to quiet a storied mind agitation. You may or may not understand this, but stories are created for the same reason. God, no God, maybe God, alcohol, drugs, success, who cares; the stories are all created to quiet a mind agitation. Agree with me, don’t agree with me, it’s your story, but if you can become quiet, that’s when you will hear what is being said beyond your story. When you hold onto to you storied beliefs which is noise, you can’t hear regardless of how much truth there is in what’s being said…

Confused Mind

A confused mind can’t free itself with the same programming that causes the confusion. The same programming is a hinderance because it’s just another confused response that blocks freedom…

If a confused mind controls your life, it doesn’t matter what’s going on, it’s going to be difficult to be free. It’s such a confused world and what makes it so is most people are looking for outward fixes when the answers are inward. What the confused mind actually is and how it’s created is by not being aware that you already have your answers. With a confused mind that’s conditioned to want answers, you have to constantly look for them, hence the confusion. This is how the confusion of a Conditioned Mind is formed and how it blocks awareness. It’s confusion created because if you knew you had your answers, the need to look for them would be non existent, and so would the confusion.

Everyone has the ability to develop awareness of a confused mind, but it’s not something that’s going to happen on its owns. It’s a beautiful thing that your life is your hands and it’s totally up to each individual what is done with it. A little awareness of a confused mind equates to a little freedom. It’s up to each individual to do what’s necessary to become more aware of the confused mind. As you become more aware of being present, the confused mind lessens and opens; what’s left is freedom. If you’re waiting for anything else, it won’t happen while you’re alive in this form as the confused mind will remain in control…

Repeated Habits

The repeated habits of a Conditioned Mind can be devastating if they’re not understood. The repeated habits manifest in many ways, but when the mind is quiet many fall away; that’s when life truly begins…

The reason why it’s so difficult to change is because the mind defaults to repeated habits; even to the point of its own destruction. The conditioning must be changed if the repeated habits are to be changed. If this isn’t identified the habit is repeated over and over, that is until the necessary practice is cultivated to initiate change. If nothing changes nothing changes. If the conditioning is changed the repeated habits become non existent; you don’t change the habit because it’s a by product of the conditioning. When there’s quietness instead of conditioning there won’t be any repeated habits associated with the conditioning.

This is immensely valuable in understanding the habits of the mind. If quietness isn’t brought into your life, the habits in the head will continue to run the show; it’s really that simple. You have been conditioned to act in habitual ways, whether those ways are beneficial to yourself, others, the planet, and the Universe as a whole, depends on what the base of those habits are. Their base is what determines the actions of our decisions and how they affect the entire Universe. You may not think acting in a self-serving way affects the Universe, but how can it not. Energy is energy, never created or destroyed, simply transformed.

No act is isolated from itself, whether based in love or greed, hate, and delusion; it affects the whole. But the real issue is getting to know how the repeated habits of your mind makes your decisions for you. Change comes when this is realized and than different actions can be selected. Your own mind will fight you on this, it makes you think the unknown is not good, but it’s only a story because everything that is known today was once unknown at some point. So learn to quiet the habitual mind so the repeated actions aren’t on automatic pilot. You’ll be amazed with the way life changes because when you start to do things differently and act in ways that are conducive to love, suffering lessens. Its truly that simple, but because the mind likes to revert to its habits, change is not easy…

Past Influenced Present

For many, the past has way too much influence on what is done in the present. Until the past influences are identified, they will continue their control and make the present a thing of the past…

Understanding that truly living life in the present as opposed to living it by bringing past influences into the present is the difference in being at peace or being controlled by the conditioned past. When you’re with what’s here in the present you’re with true reality, not an influenced past present reality. When there isn’t the reality of the present, there’s the influenced state of the past, which makes for very little if any peace in your life. 

Reality occurs in the present so that means if you’re reading this post, that’s reality. There’s nothing else going on beyond what’s happening right now. There may be something going on between your ears, but that’s the influenced present state of the past; the bottom line is it’s not the reality of what’s truly occurring presently. The mind has been conditioned to think it has to create a life from a past pleasure, this is what keeps you from truly living life.

I’m not sure why this is, but I do know it has to do with the influences beyond your control. To me what matters is to develop a disciplined method of sitting which allows you to break free of the control of these past influences. Control is control so the more you continue to be controlled by the past influences, the less present reality there will be. Unless you live with the reality of what’s occurring presently and learn how to identify the past influences, it will be impossible to ever be free because you’ll remain under the spell of your past pleasures…

Thought Observation

We go through life with two kinds of thoughts, those that are skillful and those that are unskillful. If you want to understand the difference you will have to get quiet and observe your thoughts…

Observing your thoughts is simple, but this will be the hardest thing you will ever do. If it can’t be distinguished what the difference is between a skillful and unskillful thought, most likely the unskillful ones will remain as one’s default thought. This is because whatever one frequently thinks about and ponders upon, that becomes the inclination of their thoughts. Most people are taught to cultivate thoughts that are unskillful because mostly what’s developed is based in fulfilling self-serving desires.

Developing a true discernment of our thoughts is what’s needed for the skillful thoughts to overcome the unskillful ones. If there isn’t an observations of our thoughts, how do you think this is going to occur? This is the main reason one remains unconscious with unskillful thoughts. Watch your thoughts, don’t label them, don’t resist them, just observe them. See them arises and fall away; wise restraint is our practice. What’s at the heart of our practice is the wisdom of no. See what’s arises with discerning wisdom. The questions to ask, is this helpful, is it necessary; what are the thoughts that you’re investing in? Do they further enforce “I”. Make it so that the mind of a great being (you) will not be moved by an unskillful thought and become a blessing to all beings…

Truth Transition

What occurs when one awakens is there’s a transition from the head to the heart; this is a truth transition. With this transition you no longer have a surface view, it’s now from the inside out…

People think they change when they learn something new, but the essence of what is happening is there’s a truth transition the has always been there. It’s simply the transition from a delusional surface view, to the view of understanding the true nature of life; looking inward at your own mind. You cannot know truth if you do not know yourself and you cannot know yourself if you do not know your own mind. The reason why it’s so difficult for this truth transition to occur is because the Conditioned Mind will not transition without a struggle. Your mind will tell you looking through a surface view is needed to get by in life; as long as it’s thought to be pleasurable…

Self investigation is not pleasurable especially when it’s first started, that’s why so many are hesitant to do it. It’s much easier and pleasurable not to investigate and do what’s familiar, but there are only benefits when there’s a truth transition and an honest self appraisal is done. A transition into the unfamiliar will need to happen so you can get to know the truth of who you aren’t.

The mind defaults naturally to what’s familiar because it’s what’s on the surface, but an honest self appraisal allows for truth to be transitioned and rise to the surface; this is how truth becomes familiar. When the transition of truth is what’s on the surface, what happens is the veil of ignorance is removed and where you were once lost, you are now found, and where you were once blind, you now see. It’s not a change, it’s a transition that allows the truth that has always been there to be seen…

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, but it can stop if it’s realized you’re already complete…

The belief is there will be completeness when this happens next, the next fix, the next satisfaction, or the next whatever is used in the never ending chase. 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, but what you really need to ask yourself is who is doing the 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 you 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 the never ending chase because it’s realized you‘re already complete…

Surface Interpretations

If you can develop some awareness of inner stillness, the surface interpretations will have less control as your mind agitations subside. Without these agitations you’ll never have a need to interpret anything from the surface…

If you’re always seeing life from the eyes of surface interpretations, your actions will be accordingly and what’s going on beneath the surface will not be noticed. Although with surface minded interpretations, life still goes on, but it’s very limited almost to the point of being delusional; I say this because of forty nine years of surface interpreted experiences which caused much suffering. The constant suffering was self created and controlled by my surface interpretations, although this wasn’t understood at the time. Surface interpretations happen when there’s constant internal lack which is caused by the mind agitations that aren’t seen. This is why someone will reach for something without giving it much thought regardless if it’s beneficial or not. In that moment, the Conditioned Mind deems it beneficial, but this is a big fat lie.

Surface interpretations will only be noticed when the Conditioned Mind stops its incessant busyness. One will have to be able to just be for the busyness to subside; you will not see the essence of the forest from the trees if the mind is busy being focused on the surface interpretations of the trees; surface interpretations are strictly mind based. The reason surface interpretations aren’t conducive to one’s well-being is they’re unstable as there are so many things on the surface to interpret; one right after another. This is why the big fat lie is in the forefront of most lives and stillness takes a back seat. If you can develop some awareness of inner stillness, less and less the surface interpretations will be in control because the mind agitations will subside. It will be at this point that you can say “No” to the need to reach outside for something; this may be the first time in your life that this has happened…

Attached Opinions

Attached opinions keeps you stuck in a world where there’s very little freedom because there’s no room for truth. If you want freedom, the attached opinions will have to go…

The more opinions there are about something, the more you’re attached to that opinion. It’s difficult to experience the openness of something if you’ve already decided how it is. To remain open one needs to limit their opinions. This is essential if there is be alignment with the Universe and be free from the things that you’re attached to. Being attached to the things that have a hold on you will need to be let go of if there’s to be freedom; this hold is very subtle. Even the opinion on whether you like this post or not will keep you attached in the same place. This post can resonate with you without an opinion, but opinions seem to make the world go round. That doesn’t mean it’s a good thing, but that’s just an opinion.

I lived an existence that was very opinionated for most of my life and this caused much conflict with people who weren’t of the same opinion; wars are started over being attached to differences of opinions. If you’re really honest with yourself you’ll see that every disagreement you ever had with someone was caused by being attached in a difference of an opinion about something. I’m not saying you shouldn’t stand up for truth, but truly knowing about something and having an opinion about it is totally different.

There’s a place of no opinion, if it’s not understood you’ll never become unattached to your opinions and you’ll remain in an existence that’s attached to opinions. When this is the place lived from, there’s very little freedom. When you can just be with life as it unfolds and not label it as this or that, you’ll be on the verge of truly experiencing life, attached opinion free. When there’s no attachment forming an opinion, there’s freedom to be with life as it is, without the need of an attached opinion that just keeps you stuck in the same place…

Truly Supportive

Reaching itself is always the issue not the thing reached for. Not everything one thinks is healthy is truly supportive. It will take a very settled mind to see if what is considered supportive truly is…

Doing what’s thought to be healthy for your well being needs to be investigated to see if what you’re doing is truly supportive and not just a story of what you think is supportive. Many people play the lottery to become rich so to become rich becomes supportive. Sex is often seen as supportive as is the spiritual path. Drugs, alcohol, gambling, and also their counter parts (their programs) are used as supportive, but as the results of these valued actions may be different, the prison they keep you in is the same. Working out and healthy eating habits are supportive, but many attach a story to them and negate their true value. I know many people are vegans and I have no opinion either way, but no where have I ever read that Jesus or the Buddha valued this as part of their supportive practice. All I’m saying is what I’ve found to be truly supportive needs no story or attachment for certain results.

I can only share my experience and I’ve found reaching for anything in whatever form it takes on is not supportive; the reaching is the issue, not the thing being reached for. To me in the space of just being with what arises in the present moment is truly supportive. Not everything that’s considered healthy is truly supportive in life. It will take a very settled mind to see the subtleness of the attachment to things that are deemed supportive. I say if you‘re reaching for something regardless of what it is, it has no value to your well being and this is because the reaching itself is the issue: this is what keeps you in an unhealthy and unsupportive prison…

Delusional Mind

Understanding the nature of a delusional mind is one of the attributes of waking up. But it’s not the delusion of the world that one wakes up from, it’s the delusion of your own mind…

What is a delusional mind that runs your life? The delusional mind manifests because there’s attachment to your thoughts. The thought that arises about something is inconsequential, it’s the attachment to the thought that forms the delusional mind. To understand the delusional mind one must be aware of its attachments, desires, confusions, and the way the mind works. Without this awareness the puppet on string patterns prevail; certain disciplines turns one inward to see this. If what you’re doing doesn’t turn you inward, you’ll remain trapped to a delusional state of mind. This is why nothing from the outside truly changes a person because anything from the outside is part of the delusional mind. A delusional mind can’t fix itself and as long as it’s reaching for something on the outside, it remains trying to fix itself and thus it remains delusional. Until this truth is seen, things will stay as they are because nothing is being done to make it different.

We can only go beyond the delusional view if there’s awareness of it. What this means is one has to develop mindfulness of what they’re doing as it’s being done so there‘s awareness of what’s being done. If you know what you’re doing as it’s being done, it leaves little room for the delusional mind to arise. Mindfulness is probably the most important discipline to develop as it anchors you in the moment of what’s being done. A delusional mind only occurs when one lives in the story of a past or future. These delusional mind made constructs keeps the delusion active. The present moment can be seen without making it a story even though it passes as quickly as it arises, but the past and future can never truly be seen without a story. Because of this lack of discipline to be present, most people live a delusional mind existence…

Listening Heart

If you seek what you think is needed to open your heart, it will probably remain closed. An awakening is from the Universe, but this will not be known if you’re listening to the Conditioned Mind instead of your heart…

We are all a product of the Universe, we are not a product of ourselves. We didn’t call for our creation nor do we call for the time when it ends. Our existence is a product of the Universe and the heart energy transformed to awaken is from the Universe. This is why we can’t really do anything to transform ourselves. We can only do the necessary practice that allows the heart to open so the Universe can do its thing. This is not our doing, this is a calling from the Universe; we practice because we’re listening to the heart. The reason some practice and some don’t is because the noise in the head doesn’t allow you to listen to your heart. Even though it seems an awakening is from the outside, it can only be heard from within.

Through the Conditioned Mind we become trapped in very self-centered desires that don’t allow a listening heart. Energy always is, it’s just a matter of listening so you can go where you’re directed. We seek because the Universe calls us, but we’ll only see when the veil of the Conditioned Mind is removed, and our energy is guided by the heart. Spirituality is not magical for a select few who think they‘re special, it’s available to anyone who listens to their heart. The heart is always calling, but are you listening? If you think you’re listening, are you hearing the true message or are you making up your own message to fulfill some self-centered desires? It takes much quietness to listen to the heart call, the alternative is to listen and follow your own call which is scary. Why may you ask is it scary, because most people are trapped in fulfilling self-centered desires that block you from listening to your hearts call…

A Delusional Reality

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

The way the base of thoughts are formulated determines if what is seen actually occurs in life or if life becomes a delusional reality of fictitious thoughts. Because of the lack of clarity of truth in most lives, this creates two realities occurring at the same time. One is what’s actually occurring and the other is a delusional reality of what’s occurring. The more unaware you are of this, the more you make up a fictitious story (a delusional reality) 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 reality is in control; when this happens a persons entire reality is delusional. Thoughts are the base of all delusional lies because without the belief of something (thought) it’s impossible for a delusional reality to exist. All delusions start with the lie they’re real, but the delusional reality isn’t what’s actually occurring so two realities are happening at the same time; one is created (the delusion) and one just is. The one you live your life by determines if life is 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 reality. Life can be a delusional reality 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 reality, why it’s created needs to be revealed. If this doesn’t occur the delusion remains which in turn makes your life a delusional reality…

Selfish Division

There’s no harmony when selfish energy is running the show. Simply put without harmony we have everyone going in different directions trying to attain a certain selfish status…

Nothing really means all that much in the grand scheme of life when it comes to achieving a certain status in our society. Not that there’s anything wrong with this, but it doesn’t equate to anything except to selfish energy. This energy is what actually makes selfishness what it is; it creates division. When selfish energy is embraced, it creates an I am special aura or a look at me persona, but the truth of the matter is, when it’s time to leave this world nothing is taken with you. I’ve learned one very important lesson in my life and that is my life has nothing to do with me. I say this in the sense of what any life is about. Life itself doesn’t really care what occurs, it’s selfish energy that makes it important by the story it creates of “I”. It attaches to “I” and adds all kinds of things that creates a look at me persona. A celebrity status goes to most people’s head, but it doesn’t really mean anything. Just loving and keeping things in their proper perspective is what gets it done for me, with the “it” being a level of quietness that doesn’t need a selfish story to be.

Anything added to life doesn’t really enhance it in any way. Being with life as it is and not needing it to be of a certain status is so much more beneficial as an energy than putting out selfish energy. So much of selfish energy is reinforced by ”I” and it’s why the world is the way it is. Selfishness can’t exist without a certain energy that feeds it. Without awareness of this, just by the design of idolizing, selfish energy is constantly reinforced. I’m right and you are wrong energy is also the kind of energy that’s in place and it makes for many selfish charged situations. There’s no harmony when selfish energy is running the show. Simply put without harmony we have a world divided trying to attain a certain selfish status…

Energy Output

You can’t be different from your energy output because it comes from within you so there’s no where for you or it to go. Love and you will be love because that’s the energy within…

Simply put, the energy you put out is the energy you will live by; you can’t be different from what is in you. This is a Universal Law that has to occur. It’s no different than pressing down on the gas pedal in your car, the car will go faster; it has to there’s no way around it. Put out the energy of hate and that will be your energy whether you want it to be or not. It will take you over, it’s how energy works. You can’t really show hate to someone and love another. That’s not happening, it can’t because as stated before the more you press down on the gas pedal, the faster the car will go. If you truly want a loving heart, learning to love all beings is a necessity. This simple but profound law isn’t really understood by many people; all one needs to do is look around. The energy you put out is your own energy so it becomes your responding action. 

Nothing from the outside causes any emotion to arise. You may think it does, but that’s only because you don’t understand your own mind and how energy works. It’s really unfortunate because it’s not understood how any energy except love causes your own suffering. Although unloving energy may affect all of humanity to a degree, the effect it has on you is where most of the harm is. You can’t run away from your own energy output because it comes from within you so there’s no where for you hide. This is why acting in unloving ways constantly repeats itself because you can only be the energy that you are. Until there’s awareness of this unloving action will be the focal point of your actions. Love and you will be love or not and that’s the energy you will be because you can’t be different than what you are…
