Actual Reality

Ever so slowly the Conditioned Mind loses its control when discipline is developed. It’s this discipline that allows you to be with actual reality instead of needing to make something up…

At times it’s difficult to be with actual reality because the mind constantly wants to make something up; this is the dilemma the Conditioned Mind creates. It has nothing to do with nothing, but it has everything to do with everything. Through developing certain discipline this constant needing to make something up can be tamed. Ever so slowly the Conditioned Mind will relinquish its control if discipline is developed. My writings may open some eyes, but it’s the development of discipline that allows the mind to settle which will lead to lasting insights that are used to enhance life.

Most people have tools in place that have nothing to do with developing discipline or enhancing life. The tools in place actually reinforce the conditioning which keeps one entrapped in a self created prison. With the prison being a mind that’s everywhere but the only place that truly exists; actual reality. If you’re not with actual reality, you cannot truly live life to the fullest. Of course there’s existence because you’re alive, but being alive doesn’t equate to living life to the fullest. Only being with actual reality will ensure this and only with discipline will the mind settle enough for you to be with actual reality instead of needing to make something up…

Loving Moments

Loving moments occur in the present, self-serving desires disrupt the awareness of this. Only a mind that’s settled to be present can understand a loving moment…

Sometimes it’s difficult to know what the right thing to do is. I’m not talking about clearly recognizable things, sometimes it isn’t so clear as to what should be done. It’s especially difficult when it involves other people. For myself, letting go allows me to be more focused on love; this is all part of the learning curve of letting go. It matters little what your intentions are if your reactions aren’t of love.

This learning curve should be used to stay open to expand a view of love and not get caught up in a self-serving view. Love and tolerance have to be at the forefront when others are involved. It’s not always easy to understand where others are coming from so it’s better not to judge and to try and deal with situations from a loving place. This is much easier said than done, but by practicing quietness it gets easier to decipher what the right action is. We shouldn’t be too hard on ourselves because of our Conditioned Mind, the slow process of awakening has to be accepted if there’s to be peace. On the other hand our conditioning is not to be ignored because we won’t learn from it and the same reactions will be repeated over and over again.

Although our journey may seem mundane at times, it’s only a self-serving mind that makes it seem this way; life can never be mundane. Each moment of each day is new unto itself, and when it’s lived in the present it’ll be realized what a gift life truly is. It’ll be understood what our learning curve affords us is not the mundane life of living in the past or future, but the ability to live in the present and respond to life from a place of love instead of reacting to it from a self-serving mind. The more this is done, the less mundane life will be and the more loving moments one will have for themselves and hence for all beings…
