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…
