Truth Potential

There is so much potential in life when truth is applied to what’s occurring in front of you. The Universe provides truth potential when you’re in harmony with life and not living a lie…

Truth is your greatest asset because without it lies arise and there’s nothing beneficial in a lie. Truth leads to fulfilling your potential never experienced before, but when you’re living a lie the mind is closed and in control. Whatever arises in life can be seen as truthful only if it’s not seen through a past label. In this way life can be experienced anew as the Universe opens up more and more truthful potential. Even if some lies arise, without applying a past label it allows the heart to remain open and the potential to go beyond the lies to experience truth.

Truth doesn’t always have to be an aha moment, it can be a simple act of not judging what’s in front of you and just experiencing that and moving on. Once something is labeled, the heart closes and so does your truth potential along with it. To fulfill your truth potential that life offers is to not allow the lies to be a part of what is being done right now. If it is, obviously it remains as something old not something new, and because it’s from a past habitual mind pattern, it’s old because it’s labeled as such. Without applying a label, the heart remains open to truth potential provided by the Universe beyond anything a lie limited mind can conjure up…

Conditioned Emotions

Nothing from the outside either real or made up truly controls you regardless of what it is. It’s the conditioned emotions attaching to what happens that causes them to control…

Staying with the flow of what arises in our daily life has immense value in the process of waking up from the sleep of unawareness. What happens if awareness isn’t expanded upon is the conditioned emotions become embedded and control you; they become the master and you the slave. Conditioned emotions are what causes one to react to life in the way that they do. Nothing from the outside truly controls you either real or made up. It’s the conditioned emotions attaching to what happens that causes one to behave in a certain manner. When one awakens, the attachment to conditioned emotions lessens and their control lessens.

This is how it is with all our emotions, fear becomes crippling when it’s from conditioning that takes over. It’s doesn’t mean things won’t scare you, but it’s doesn’t have to be given the energy that turns it into fear. This applies to any emotion you become attached to. When associated conditioned emotions become embedded, there’s no telling what behavior will arise. I guarantee you it’s not going to be behavior that has love flowing as its base. Emotions will arise, it’s the way the brain seems to be wired, but our energy doesn’t have to give them more power than they’re worth. We can cry our conditioned tears or be fearful of the future. We may dislike that things aren’t going the way we think they should be, but the bottom line is it’s only when the conditioned emotions become embedded that they’re given the energy to stop the flow of lovingly living life. This causes not only our own suffering, but the suffering of all beings…

True Assets

Only true assets can be beneficial to others. Being selfish or of love is what determines this. To have true assets that are based in love is to ensure an existence that’s beneficial to all beings…

When there’s a clear view of the true assets in your life, it’s at this point that you’ll see what’s beneficial. If your values are based strictly for self-serving purposes, this is the cause of all the so called issues you have with life. Your true assets direct the course of your behavior and if they’re of love you’ll behave in ways that are beneficial to all beings. If your values are aligned with a self-serving direction, this is what will manifest in the ways you behave. It has to be this way, but if love is what’s truly valued in your life, you’ll have love based assets and you’ll behave in ways that are aligned with love.

You can only act in the ways that are valued, you can’t be anything else. You can never be what you aren’t; your values determine this. It’s so important to have a clear view of your true assets so you can see if they’re aligned with Universal Love. This is when existence can be of maximum benefit to yourself and also the Universe. If this isn’t clearly seen this won’t be clearly known and you’ll behave in ways that aren’t truly an asset. So what‘s valued is how a person will behave and to know that your values are true assets based in love will ensure your existence is a benefit to all; it has to be this way…

Lying Mind View

There’s not much life in a lying mind view. What happens with a lying mind view is the free flowing energy of truth is cut off; this view always causes suffering…

A lying mind view is what causes one to get locked into only seeing things from the side of suffering. It matters little what that lying mind view is, as it’s the rigidness of being in a liars mode that doesn’t allow free flowing energy. The is what happens when a story is created and it becomes a lying view of what life is about in any particular moment. The lies become deeply ingrained as one becomes emotionally tied into whatever the lying view is focused on. It’s very difficult to not attach to things that makes up a story that is held onto, but you can have compassion, passion, and genuine love for something without attaching to it and being controlled by a lying mind.

To me, being of a lying mind is the normal view of many people and it’s why many suffer unnecessarily. I’ve noticed this occurring in so many lives and I can see the suffering it’s causing. Unfortunately those in the midst of this lying mind view cannot see it. Nor can one pull themselves out of it until the lying mind view is seen as the cause of suffering. The lying mind doesn’t allow the openness needed to be free from attachment, and since attachment is the root of suffering, suffering is inevitable. The tighter the grip of something the more one is trapped in a lying mind view and the less free flowing energy there is in one’s life. There’s not much life in a lying mind view because what happens is one’s free flowing energy of truth is cut off; this view always causes suffering…

Loving Heart

Our human form is the what’s used to experience life so our human form should never be denied. Not clinging to it though is key if one is to truly experience living life from a loving heart…

When life begins there aren’t any blocks developed to experience our loving heart. Slowly though as we grow, blocks are developed by clinging to an identity to our human form, but this is how we experience life so we should never deny our human form; not clinging to it is key to truly experience a loving heart. The more thought that’s applied to our human form, the less in touch we are with the true essence of a loving heart.

It would be easy to say “that’s just the way I am” but no one is just the way they are. We become the way we are by influences and conditioning. It’s very nice to say things like our true essence is to love, but with all the tragic behavior that goes on, it’s really difficult to see our true essence as anything but insane.

Everyone goes around forcing their will on whomever they come in contact with and it’s labeled as love, but a loving heart never forces anything, it doesn’t need to. The conditioning to an identity goes very deep and why this is so is because it’s the foundation of the way most people exist. This identity to form is the reason why people reach outside themselves for fulfillment. Clinging to human form is the only block that one will encounter from their loving heart. Until there’s awareness of this, you will never truly experience love through your human form. I’m not saying people don’t love, but there’s a lot of selfish clinging to the way most people love. Until the mind settles so one loves their human form and lives from the heart, the Conditioned Mind will remain in control and living from a heart of love will be fleeting at best. So sit and be still and you just may see how it’s only in this moment that you can embrace your human form and thus embrace your loving heart…

Blind Mind Lies

A blind mind can’t understand truth regardless of the beliefs place. Beliefs hinder the understanding of truth because they’re just a blind mind response that blocks truth…

If your blind mind lies are in control and running your life, it doesn’t matter much what’s going on, it’s going to be difficult to understand truth. It’s such a blind world and what makes it so is most people haven’t a clue that truth is inward. What the blind mind actually is and how it’s created is by not being aware the truth is already in you. With a mind that’s conditioned to reinforce lies daily, you have to constantly lie, hence the blind mind. This is how the lies of a Conditioned Mind are formed and how they block awareness. It’s lies created because if you knew the truth was within, the need to lie would be non existent and so would the blind mind.

Everyone has the ability to consciously be aware of the blind mind lies, but it’s just not something that happens on its owns. It’s a beautiful thing when your life is in your hands; it’s totally up to each individual what is done with it. Even little lies equate to little usefulness so it’s up to each individual to do what’s necessary to become more aware of the sheepish mind lies. As you’re more aware of being present, the blind mind lies untangle and you’re left with truth. If you’re waiting for anything else, it most likely won’t happen as the blind mind lies will remain in control…

A Greater Existence

A greater existence cannot be understood by a mind that has been conditioned to make the world fit nicely into a limited box of space and time…

The limited box of space and time is our so called comfort zone. The more we stay in this box, which is the world of thought, the more we limit ourselves to a base of Self (ego). It isn’t that we truly understand everything when our mind becomes quiet, but we stop questioning the external and start looking within which allows us to exist the way it was intended; as the loving beings that we are. This allows for the shift from a self-serving existence to one of love. This doesn’t mean we get answers to the great secrets of the Universe, what we get is an understanding of our Conditioned Mind and how it was developed.

Once the Conditioned Mind is understood, there’s awareness of what blocks love from being the default setting of our mind. With this awareness it’s learned to control a mind that has been out of control for most of our life. When you have this control which manifest as quietness, there won’t be a need for answers because the greater existence of our questions is seen providing all the answers that are needed…

Mind Annoyances

Although the pleasures of the world take on many forms, it’s the annoyances of the mind that makes one seek them. These annoyances can only be satisfied in stillness because when the mind is still there are no annoyances…

One aspect of the Conditioned Mind is how it’s in a state of annoyance most of the time. The annoyed mind likes to keep all the pleasant thoughts and discard the unpleasant ones; it spends most of its time doing this. Whether it’s weaving in and out of traffic, only to catch a red light and have all the cars you passed pull up to the same light, or doing something and asking yourself why you did it, the reason for doing this is to strictly satisfy the annoyed mind. That your own mind questions why you do what you do is how diabolical it is, but understand it’s only this way because of the way the mind has been conditioned to be in a constant state of annoyance.

The annoyed mind in seeking mode is not one which is in our best interest, but the Conditioned Mind doesn’t really care about that; control is all it cares about. It makes you think seeking pleasure is a necessity, but when the mind starts to settle and it loses its grip on you, you will see the fallacy of this. True pleasure is in stillness not in things; the pleasure of stillness is not the same pleasure the world offers. The pleasure of the world is based in lies, the pleasure of stillness is based in truth. It’s only in stillness that the annoyances of the mind subside. Not because it gets what it wants, but because in stillness the annoyances never materialize so there’s no satisfaction that’s needed…

Continuous Motion

Life is one continuous motion, it never stops. If this is noticed, it will allow much more understanding of life than if one is blindly controlled by habitual mind patterns that have a tendency to make life appear stagnant…

If the continuous motion of life isn’t understood, that’s when the habitual conditioned mind patterns take over; it’s just the process in place. You can be in a state where you’re happy and out of nowhere arises something that triggers one of your habitual stagnated mind patterns. Depending on what these patterns are based in determines if you’re still happy after it’s attached to. This is how it works, we’re pulled around by patterns and life’s continuous motion goes unnoticed so controlling energy attaches to whatever pattern is associated with the moment. This is where everything arises from, feelings, emotions, sensations, judgements, hatred, and whatnot, hence the puppet on a string syndrome is king if the continuous motion of life isn’t noticed. Think about this, you can’t have any feelings or emotional swings without attachment. Most people don’t really have any inkling of this and because of this very few truly understand life. I don’t say this in jest, I’m no different, I just notice the continuous motion a little more.

Here’s something to do to possibly understand the life’s continuous motion a little better. Make a commitment to sit for a certain time, say thirty seconds, keep it real. In those thirty second just watch what arises, watch the minds continuous motion; as a thought arises just notice it. Just sitting, looking, acknowledging, noticing, letting it arise and pass; all of this is just the continuous motion of each particular moment. This should help in getting a better grasp on life’s continuous motion. The committed sitting time is up to the individual or don’t sit at all and remain a slave to the continuous motion as it arises, and habitually controls your life. It’s the continuous motion that makes life what it is, and if this goes unnoticed so will most of your life…

Unseen Energy

What the unawareness of unseen energy does is it keeps the opposite energy of what you’re making a stand for in place, and in the process it doesn’t change anything…

The unseen energy of life is in place to grab you and pull you deeper into an unconscious state. Not many break free once unseen energy is set, but if you know the unseen energy (generated from your own mind) is there, it’s less likely to grab you; not being aware is what activates this energy. Not many investigate what their unseen energy is so it’s set unconsciously. By the time it’s noticed it’s usually too late and you become a prisoner to the unseen energy. This has been going on since humanity began, today’s world is just as insane as a thousand years ago, there’s just more news coverage and social media to spread the insanity; make no mistake that’s what’s being done. This cause, that cause, I don’t like this or that, all the unseen energy being put out, I have been unfriended by some because they have chosen not to look at this. The insanity in place cannot be seen by the one who is insane; strong language, but true.

Get unseen energy into the story of the injustices that appear to be going on, but understand this is nothing new. It has been and will continue to occur because of the unseen energy being put out by all. This isn’t to say the injustices aren’t there, but taking a stand against them feeds them with energy to allow them to continue. If you don’t think this is true, what has changed in the last three years or even the last thousand years in the way humanity reacts to things? This article isn’t about the last few years because this unseen energy has been in place for eons. This is what the unawareness of unseen energy does, it keeps the opposite energy for what you’re making a stand for in place. And in the process although this energy makes one think they have to stand up for what they believe, unseen energy doesn’t change a damn thing…

Thought Trap

When there’s a need for something outside yourself it’s because of a thought trap. Until this is seen you will remain trapped as you seek to satisfy the thought with the next thing you think is needed…

You will never find the peace you’re seeking because seeking is a thought trap. Peace is something that’s already within everyone, but because of the way our minds are conditioned, the seeking of peace becomes a thought trap. Unfortunately a thought trap makes the very thing you’re seeking impossible to grasp. A thought trap is the reason you constantly look for something from the outside. Until this is seen you’ll remain in a thought trap thinking peace is in the next thing reached for. Alcohol, gambling, drugs, sex, religion, social status, programs, therapy, self help books, politics, and on and on, this is proof that there’s a thought trap. I can’t stress this enough as this thought trap has to be seen if you‘re to experience peace in your life.

Why there’s a thought trap is because of the inability to just be. When the need to look for something arises, the thought trap begins. This thought trap is a vicious cycle that’s very difficult to break. Breaking free of the thought trap and being at peace isn’t something attained or achieved. It’s by doing less (letting go) that peace is experienced. Too many people get lost (thought trap) trying to find peace through outer attachments. Since peace is something that’s already within you, the thought trap is a circle because it becomes about finding what’s already there. This is not easy to see, but look inward so the thought trap can be seen for what it is; the cause of why there’s a need to seek a peace that’s already in place…

Chaos Within

Existence is continuous until one day it’s not. It becomes chaotic within because of the attachment to self. Without this attachment, the beauty of life unfolds as the chaos within falls 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 chaotic 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 the chaos within doesn’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 chaos within, and if you want to be free of this chaos within, you‘ll have to be free of the attachment to self…

A Created Gap

Creating a gap is due to the misunderstanding of what love is. If you fill the gap with the things of the world it will never be filled. If you fill the gap with love for others it will never exist…

I had a gap in my life for forty nine years that always needed to be filled. I didn’t know this at the time, but it was the absence of love that created this gap. This is a very simplistic yet profound explanation of the nature of this gap. Without love this gap is the cause of most dysfunctional behavior in life. It makes you view life from the material realm and the gap cannot be filled from this realm. It uses whatever it can to be filled, but until it’s filled with love, you will keep trying to fill it. This is why dysfunctional behavior manifest because when your view is from the material realm it’s self-serving and isn’t based in love. You will use whatever you become conditioned to use. You will even use a false concept of love to fill this gap.

This view is developed because you think your answer to fill the gap is in the form of some object. Nothing this gap is filled with is lasting because whatever you use is limited. Think about this, any object that you use from the material world has a limit to it. Nothing of this world last forever except eternal love so the gap will never be filled with anything materiel. Any object used is limited so the amount of time the gap is filled will be limited. The gap will never stay filled for long unless it’s filled with love…

Path of Light

You will only be on a path of light when you stop trying to force it and allow it to manifest itself. It’s not something to possess or attain, it‘s only revealed when you stop trying to get it…

The so called spiritual path is the exact opposite of the material path. On the material path, the more you accomplish as an individual the more successful you’re considered to be by others. Also the more you possess, the more material success becomes the path of your life. On the spiritual path, individual accomplishments don’t assist in being more spiritual; you can’t possess spirituality. Unlike a material existence, the spiritual existence is not a doing. The more you think you need to do something to be spiritual, the less spiritual you will be. Spirituality is not something to possess, it can never be attained. On the material path, the more you have the more you are held in esteem. On the spiritual path, the less you have the more you are held in esteem. Not because of you, it’s because of the light of Universal Love that is emitted to others. You are held in esteem because of the path within, not because of anything possessed.

Those conditioned by the material path are attracted to possessions. Spiritual people are attracted to the path of light. The light of Universal Love is the only possession on the spiritual path, but it’s not a real possession; it’s given freely by doing less and becoming a channel to emit light to others. It isn’t a doing at all, actually the more you try to do to possess the path of light, the less it shines. It’s in stillness that light shines and becomes the path your life is guided by. The quieter you become the brighter the light shines and the more attracted others will be to it, but you can only be on a path guided by light when you stop trying to force it and learn to Just Be…

Thought Awareness

Thoughts are neither right nor wrong, but there are some that are more beneficial. If there is thought awareness and they are not attached to, the non-beneficial ones will dissipate as passing clouds…

Thoughts come and go just as passing clouds. If you’ve ever sat and observed clouds, you’ve noticed the clouds eventually dissipate; here one minute, gone the next. It’s the same when there’s thought awareness, they arise, there’s no denying that, but unless there’s attachment to them, they dissipate. The question to ask is are your thoughts beneficial? Your answer is a key factor in how you will live your life. Let’s say you have a thought to do something unhealthy, if you’re not aware of the thought, the benefit factor of it and the next step becomes an unhealthy action.

There’s no way to be in the thoughtless realm continuously, at least this has been my experience, it’s more so to learn if your thoughts are beneficial or not. If there isn’t thought awareness this won’t be noticed and non-beneficial actions will be more in control. This is because most minds unconsciously default to satisfying yourself which doesn’t allow the objectivity one gets from thought awareness. When there isn’t thought awareness, they arise one right after the other and the mind gets cloudier and cloudier. Eventually there will be attachment; most likely it will be to a non-beneficial thought. Only with a settled mind can there be thought awareness, and when there is it allows for the energy to live life in the most beneficial of ways…

Presence Energy

Presence energy comes from a sacred place, it’s not a place that’s associated with any activity, it’s a place which simply connects us to our own heart…

In my experience presence energy doesn’t expand on its own, it needs synchronization with our own heart. A presence connection deepens our heart energy which is what connects us to love. Presence energy connects us to our heart, when it does there’s no more hate because we expand in love; in the space of presence, heart energy is experienced. A smile, a warm embrace, the magnificence of love, these are the deepest connection of our hearts. Loving oneself is the presence energy that connects humanity, these are experienced from the sacred place within.

I don’t really know what life is about, but I do understand how presence energy is sacred. When this is experienced it leaves one speechless. For me, because of this energy I have been speechless many times in the last seventeen years. I’m using the words presence energy to describe this, but words cannot truly explain it. I watch in awe as I explain what I went through to someone and see presence in their eyes; this is our hearts uniting. Presence energy comes from such a sacred place, it’s not something that any human activity can make happen. When there’s presence energy there will be heart unity with ourselves and with all humanity…

Harmonic Intuition

When there’s not the constant pull of needing form satisfying pleasures, your harmonic intuition works with whatever creativity is within you for the betterment of humanity…

Let go of the stubbornness that causes you to suffer. It arises as greed, hate, and delusion; it’s the out of sorts energy of stubbornness that causes suffering. Holding onto form pleasures is an out of sorts non-harmonic energy. The core of holding on is stubbornness, it manifest as the belief that the more your form pleasures are satisfied, the happier you will be. Satisfying these form pleasures are not an issue until this out of sorts non-harmonic energy takes hold, that’s when problems arise. Remove this mask and what you will be left with goes beyond anything you can imagine.

The fulfillment of form pleasure is sought by everyone and has been in place for eons. Forget about going beyond it, it’s no small feat just becoming aware of it. When there‘s awareness of the energy of form pleasure seeking, the results are miraculous. There’s no telling what one may experience when form pleasure seeking takes a back seat. Your energy will go in a direction not previously known because the pleasure seeking that’s been blocking harmonic intuition falls away.

When there’s not the constant pull of satisfying form pleasure, harmonic intuition arises for the betterment of humanity. There may be a musician, painter, gardener, botanist, or even a writer inside you; who knows a book may even be written. I guarantee you this, whatever it is that comes from your harmonic intuition, it will be based in love because that’s just the way harmonic intuition manifests. I only say this because this has been my experience…

Inner Annoyance

All annoyances arise from within yourself; they’re from your internal mind chaos. Without discipline, the mind will never settle nor will the annoyance of needing to reach for something externally…

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 inner annoyances; 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 that 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 to have anything or anyone different if you had the ability to just be with life. If you don’t somewhat acceptance with the way things are, what makes you think that if things were different there would be acceptance; you would still have annoyances that make you reach for things externally.

There’s external reaching because you want to alter how you feel. My mind was always annoyed, and because there wasn’t an understanding of the Conditioned Mind, my annoyances weren’t understood. It didn’t matter what happened, by not having the ability to just be the mind becomes annoyed and chaos arises. Nothing causes an annoyance 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 annoyed 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 annoyed once again…

United Agenda

If you think an individual agenda will change the world you will be disappointed, not in your effort, but in the results of the world not changing…

A large part of the problem when it comes to the world changing is individual agendas. There’s way too much energy wasted on these; if the world is to change it has to be done as a united agenda to love. We all need to have a united heart and give that agenda to the heart of others. This agenda is from the Universe and it’s the awakened heart that realizes this. An awakened heart is not limited to certain religious belief or made up concepts, it‘s open to anyone who has a united agenda. The only way for the heart to be pure is to remove its pollutants. An example of this would be polluted water: Nothing has to be added to polluted water to return it to its natural state of purity, all that needs to be done is to remove the pollutants.

Certain religious belief and concepts are actually a deterrent a united agenda. Although religion is a way to develop the discipline needed to quiet the mind, it’s the Universe that is of unity not some dogma or doctrine made up by what someone thinks. The Universe is our guide, but the mind has to be very quiet to see where the guidance leads. I don’t mean a made up guidance to make an individual feel they’re doing their part, I mean a guidance that is united and nothing else. When you die all you leave behind is the unity you have with others. Nothing else really means that much. If the world ended tomorrow and who’s to say it won’t, what did all the individual agendas accomplish, except maybe to say “I know I did my part” whatever that means.

The only thing that matters is to remove all your pollutants so united energy is emitted to all beings; this is a Universe doing. What I share is a message of unity, but it’s not my unity, it’s the unity of the Universe. Of myself I can do nothing but self seek. It’s through the surrendering of your own agenda that the Universe will find the best possible way to use you; what that results in is up to the Universe not some individual agenda. In unity is our strength, it‘s the self-serving agenda that keeps us from being united with love…

The Best Choices

Since the mind that tells you to do something is the same mind that questions why it was done, it’s very difficult to be sure the choices made are actually for the best…

You think every choice made is the best one. If you didn’t think that you wouldn’t make it, but just because you think it’s best that doesn’t mean it actually provides the most benefits. What’s of real importance is if the choices made are truly the best. Many choices made aren’t always the best, why do you think this is so? If you were really in control of your life, you would never make a choice that wasn’t beneficial. Dream your dreams, do your good deeds, but the question always comes back to what are the motives behind the choices made? That will determine not so much if you make the best choices, but if choices made are a benefit to all beings.

To understand this you will have to investigate your own mind and the motives behind your choices. Choices will be made based on conditioning, that’s what applies the label of best. Because most people are controlled by their self-serving conditioning, choices are usually of the self-serving variety. Most choices are based on this and they’re not the always the best and most beneficial, but they are the choices made so live with it, accept it, and move on. Just understand the motives behind them, and you will not only make the best choices, but you will also make the ones that are the most beneficial to you and to all beings…

Made Up Beliefs

When you can only see and attach to made up beliefs, therein lies the root to suffering. It’s in letting go of these made up beliefs that you will see there are many parts to the whole, this reveals the true emptiness of all things…

When you stay attached to made up beliefs, life becomes stagnant. Although life is still experienced, it’s seen this way except by those who don’t see life through a belief; this is the state of emptiness which needs no belief. Everything is a part of the whole so nothing is truly what a made up belief makes it out to be. When you look at a tree and apply the belief the tree is its parts, the trunk, limbs, branches, and leaves, the true nature of the tree is lost. If you can see this with the tree, you can see it with everything, including yourself. Without the belief of a you, there is no you. Most don’t even think about the parts that make up this you.

There is much freedom in seeing this because it allows for the true emptiness of all things to be revealed, and when you see there’s nothing to believe in no matter what, you are free. Another example is you give a form that keeps track of time and call it a watch. There are so many parts to it, which part is truly the watch? Made up beliefs will keep you in locked in ignorance because they will block out seeing the true nature of the emptiness in all things. With made up beliefs you can only see and attach to form and therein lies the root to all suffering. It’s in letting go of your made up beliefs that you will see there are just parts which reveals the emptiness of all things…

Fantasy Mind

The value of knowing yourself is priceless because it allows the mind to settle instead of needing a fantasy 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 I began writing I was thinking of ways to get the message revealed to me to people. Just by the fact that I was writing I knew there was a valuable message to share about how my view of life became different. Shortly afterwards I started 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 message some exposure. After about six articles the admin of the site said people were complaining my articles were more like teachings than inspirational, the admin 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 the admin I wouldn’t change my style; I didn’t write another article for that site.

It was important for me to stand my ground on what was revealed to me; 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 to make up a fantasy. I don’t fantasize about being this loving spiritual head in the clouds person; I am what I am. If there was such a thing as a spiritual laborer that would be me; I’m a blue collared spiritual person. I understand many things, but my feet are always planted firmly where I am. To me, if it’s not happening where I am it doesn’t really matter all that much. I’ve learned early on not to live in the fantasy mind trying to be something that I’m not. What this allows is to not have any fantasy 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 fantasize about being something that I’m not…

Awareness Tools

Awareness is what happens when the tools that allow it are used. Once the tools of noise are changed, awareness naturally arises because it’s what’s there…

If you think you have tools that need to be changed, there are tools that have been revealed to me to assist in doing this. I know I don’t have the only tools and by the way they actually aren’t mine, I borrowed them from people who came before me; I share them in my articles with the compassion from my heart. So if you do have tools that aren’t beneficial know this, they can be changed. This is my aspiration, nothing more. It’s not something that I strive to do, because striving to be or do something leads to suffering.

Awareness is what my new tools allowed once the old ones were changed; lack of awareness causes suffering. I sit a lot which has sharpened my tools more and more, but this also caused me heartache as it’s observed that people suffer needlessly. What I know is this; I can only change myself, but I can share the tools I use that allow me to change. Some of the tools I use are sitting, sensation of touch, guided meditations, bowl mediations, watching the breath, walking, etc, basically I use whatever allows present moment awareness. Whether you want to use any of these is up to you, but if you don’t use mine find your own. Please make sure the tools you use make your behavior a benefit to all beings. And keep sharpening your tools so you can keep on expanding your awareness and bring more love into a world that can definitely use it…

Expansion of Awareness

Intellect doesn’t make you wise. Wisdom is something that occurs as there’s an expansion of awareness. With this expansion of awareness wisdom arises and goes beyond intellect…

Until there’s the experience of the expansion of awareness, not much will ever be different in your life. This is because in order for things to be different there has to be the awareness why they are as they are. Awakening is not something that one makes happen, it’s something that occurs. How you will know that it occurred is by the awareness you have that your mind is based to self-serve. Very simple to see this once it occurs, very difficult to see it if it doesn’t. The key to the expansion of awareness is to know the true nature of your own mind.

One day it was revealed to me that at the core of all my issues was my own mind and nothing was ever going to be different in my life if there wasn’t awareness of this. I had to become aware why I had to always be busy before I could be aware; before awareness was experienced in my life I had to find out why there wasn’t any. Awareness doesn’t have to be attained for one to acquire it, all that’s needed is to be aware it’s not there. Once this occurs there’s a starting point that can be established so the process of awareness can expand, but for this to occur awareness has to be aware of itself…

Irrelevant Wanting

The Conditioned Mind creates a view based in fulfilling irrelevant wanting. It’s difficult to break free of this because irrelevant wanting is reinforced daily. A mind aware of this is aware of awareness…

To me, life struggles have nothing to do with life, it’s the view based in irrelevant wanting that causes struggles; this view is controlled by the Conditioned Mind. When irrelevant wanting is fulfilled and things are going your way, there’s not much of a struggle; life is considered good. When things are going the way that you want, what causes your struggles are pushed aside. When this is done it makes the base of life centered in irrelevant wanting as you get pulled around by the Conditioned Mind like a dog on a leash.

The more control the Conditioned Mind has, the more suffering there is in your life. Sometimes it’s very subtle, but it’s there. As a matter of fact even if you’re not aware of being controlled by your irrelevant wanting, it still produces suffering. The suffering doesn’t occur because you don’t get your way, it occurs just by being in a state where the irrelevant wanting of the Conditioned Mind is in control.

The less the irrelevant wanting which just wants what you want when you want it, is the base of your view, the less you struggle with yourself and with life. This is simply because irrelevant wanting isn’t in control. When you’re unaware of this, the Conditioned Mind creates chaos by irrelevant wanting; there’s immense suffering in this. Practice being in a space of presence where there is no irrelevant wanting. In this space. you don’t have irrelevant wanting so you don’t entertain the energy that causes suffering; a free mind is energy free of irrelevant wanting…
