Deceived by Beliefs
When there’s a belief you need something to provide peace, you’re being deceived by that belief. Until this is understood, you’ll remain deceived by the belief that peace is outside of you…
There will never be peace in your life as long as you’re deceived by the belief that peace is outside of you. Peace is something that’s already within everyone, but because of the way our minds are conditioned we’re deceived by the belief that peace is something to find. Unfortunately beliefs are what makes the very thing you’re seeking elusive. Being deceived by a belief is the reason one is constantly reaching for something outside. Until this is no more you’ll remain looking for peace in the next thing reached for. This can’t be stressed enough as this deceived believing has to be seen if you’re ever to truly experience peace.
Being deceived that you need a belief to be at peace isn’t peace. What has to happen if peace is to ever be experienced is there has to be an understanding of how your deceived beliefs block your peace. The reason why peace is elusive is because of the inability to see clearly. When the need to reach for something arises the deceiving by belief begins; this is a conditioned cycle that’s very difficult to break. Peace isn’t something that can be manufactured so it’s in seeing this that peace arises. Many get lost trying to find peace, but since it’s already within the deceived belief associated with finding peace needs to be discarded so you can uncover the reason why you’re deceived by the belief that you’re not at peace…
Truth Assets
Only truth assets can was be beneficial to others, selfishness or of love is what determines this. To have truth 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 truth 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 truth 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 truth based assets and you’ll behave in ways that are aligned with love.
You can only act in 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 truth 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 a truthful asset. So what‘s valued is how a person will behave and to know that your values are truth asset based in love will ensure your existence is a benefit to all; it has to be this way…
Allowed Distractions
You will be distracted by what your mind allows. Until there’s awareness of this, the distractions of what’s allowed will remain in place and will be the driving force of your existence…
Everything reached for is a coping mechanism allowed by the distractions of your own mind. Although allowing different things will produce different outcomes, the core of all of the mind allowed distractions are the same; it arises from your Conditioned Mind. This is what causes one to allow distractions which aren’t real. The Conditioned Mind makes you believe they are, and the ensuing behavior manifest to fill these allowed distractions. The Conditioned Mind says, Hey, you need to reach for something, what is reached for depends on the conditioning in place; sit and ponder this.
Until this is understood and the diabolical Conditioned Mind is seen for what it truly is, suffering will remain because you will always allow something to fulfill the arisen mind distraction. There’s nothing inherently wrong with satisfaction, but when it’s the driving force of existence, it will keep the mind in a constant state of allowing distractions. This cannot be seen by a mind that’s locked in this state. Only within a quiet mind will there be awareness of this. The reason why anything is reached for is because there’s an allowed distraction by the mind for the present moment to be different; this is a distraction of the Conditioned Mind. You can only be distracted by what the Conditioned Mind allows. Unless you wake up to see this, your conditioning will remain in place and mind allowed distractions will be the driving force of your existence…
Miracle of Life
The miracle of life is in the newness of each moment. This miracle isn’t observed by most because of the view developed by the Conditioned Mind, but this doesn’t mean the miracle of each moment isn’t there…
Our delusions come in many forms and they’re all used to reinforce the delusion of “I”. The way the mind has been conditioned makes us perceive life as if we’re on a merry-go-round; you can’t get off it until it’s realized you‘re on it. Think about it, look and see how time is used and how fast it goes by. The days of the week are used like this, along with the work week. There are so many things used that keep us on the merry-go-round ; look and see what it is that keeps you on the merry-go-round of the Conditioned Mind.
Our life becomes one task after another and we basically do the same things over and over. Our delusion is this is the way it has to be, but this isn’t so, it doesn’t have to be this way. Every moments miracle of everyday is different unto itself. You may make it the same because of the Conditioned Mind, but it’s impossible for any moment to be duplicated. Once it’s in the past it can never be repeated.
The miracle of each moment can only be understood by a mind that is quiet enough to be aware of it. The burdened delusions are a result of conditioned thinking. To get off this merry-go-round you must be free of conditioned thinking, and to be free of conditioned thinking, the miracle of each moment must be understood. Nothing done yesterday or even one second ago has anything to do with right now unless it’s made so. Enjoy the miracle of life by living each moment unto itself. Or not and carry around the burden of past moments and stay on the merry-go-round; you can get off anytime you want, but that is up to you…
Blindly Conditioned
When you’re blindly under the control of the Conditioned Mind, you behave in ways not because it’s the way you want to be, it’s because it’s the way you have to be…
It was a lack of understanding of my conditioning that caused me to remain blind of the control my mind had over me. I wasn’t aware of how my mind was blindly conditioned to self serve. The problem with this blind conditioning is it causes your own demise because destructiveness is disguised as pleasure. This pleasure is pursued by many to their death. It was pursued by me in this way and I was at its mercy. It said to me to use drugs, alcohol, gambling, womanizing, lying, cheating, stealing and so on. This is how the blind conditioning is reinforced daily by many; there are those who are fortunate to wake up and see this at a young age.
The way I was blindly conditioned wasn’t the fault of anything in particular. It happened indirectly by the loveless distractions influencing my life which molded me to behave in the ways my conditioning dictated. This was not because this is how I wanted to be, but by not understanding my conditioning, this is the way I had to be. You cannot behave in any other way except in the way you have been blindly conditioned. Change the conditioning and change your entire existence, or not and remain blind.
The value of not being blindly conditioned is in the understanding there’s nowhere else to turn but inward; not to God, support groups, therapy, self help books, positive thinking, and so on. What I learned is when blind conditioning is understood, it’s no longer in control. I also learned its control slowly dissipates as discipline is developed; the mind actually slows down. Once this slowing occurs, the possibilities are endless because the distractions that keep you blindly conditioned are revealed. With this understanding of what you’re truly up against, you’re able to develop the discipline necessary so the blind conditioning eventually falls away…
Created Tension
The inner tension that keeps you from your peace has nothing to do with life. The tension is a creation of your own mind that makes you believe you’re not at peace…
There are practical ways to minimize the inner tension that causes one to sabotage their own existence, but it has to be understood that the mind creating the tension can’t quiet itself. You’ll have to find out why your own mind is telling you tension is needed to cope with life; a life that is controlled by the conditioning to create inner tension. Your own mind creates all the inner tension you have by choosing to attach to thoughts that give the tension energy; this unconscious conditioning is why tension arises. The Conditioned Mind creates this as you do things that are destructive to your own well being. Why this tension mind set is developed I’m not sure, but I do know it can be described only as insane because your own mind does this.
I know now it was my own mind that created tension which arose from within myself. Because of the shift that occurred some years ago there‘s now awareness so inner tension doesn’t have to be created anymore. I sit for the sole purpose to develop discipline which allows the mind to settle. If there isn’t discipline, your conditioning won’t be understood nor will the reason why tension arises. This will lead you to being led around like a puppet on a string. Life does nothing to you, it’s your own mind that does this. Living in a place of tension as opposed to a place of peace will never be different until the conditioning that makes it so is different. All I ever wanted was to be at peace, but it was always elusive because I wasn’t aware it was my own mind that created the inner tension that made peace elusive…
Inner Turmoil
All turmoil arises from within yourself; it’s from your own internal mind. Without discipline, the mind will never settle nor will the inner turmoil of needing to reach for something externally…
The world is in a state of turmoil, 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 turmoil, and most people haven’t a clue this is the cause of their internal turmoil. 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; 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 have a certain contentment with the way things are, what makes you think that if things were different there would be contentment; you would still have inner turmoil that makes you reach for things externally.
There’s external reaching because you want to alter how you feel. My mind was always in a state of turmoil, and because there wasn’t an understanding of the Conditioned Mind, my turmoil wasn’t understood. It didn’t matter what happened, by not having the ability to just be, the mind becomes disturbed and inner turmoil arises. Nothing causes turmoil 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 there’s turmoil 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 cause a state of inner turmoil to arise once again…
Outyer View Limit
If you only see things from an outer view it limits your view of life because it doesn’t allow for any other results except those from that outer limit…
Having more than an outer view is what makes life different, but it doesn’t make what happens in life different, it only makes the view of what happens different. If you’re locked into an outer view, this only allows the outer limit of the way things are. To me, the more a view is based in thought, the harder it is for there to be a shift to see things beyond the outer view. Not that there’s anything inherently wrong with the thought, it just doesn’t allow for much openness. When one sees things from the outer, it limits life to that one view. Most times this happens when the view isn’t even your own, it’s formed from someone else’s opinion, teaching, book, video, or discussion.
Being fixated on an outer view limits the results to that one view; think about how limiting this truly is; no possibility of another way. Always going down the same path, never allowing anything new. This is so limiting, if you only see things from the out there this will not be seen. Sitting and developing discipline so the grip of the mind lessens can assist in possibly altering an outer limited mind set, but there has to an inkling there’s another view beyond what’s out there. It’s not that the outer view is wrong, it’s just that seeing things this one way has limits which in the process doesn’t allow any other results except those from that outer view limit…
Addictive Reaching
Don’t let addictive reaching keep you in an unconscious state. All addictive reaching (attachment) has consequences regardless of what’s reached for…
If you’re always addictively reaching it’s because you don’t think what you have is enough. If you don’t think you have enough, there will always be something to addictively reach for. Reaching isn’t something that’s inherently a bad thing, why one reaches addictively is where issues arise; this is because one thinks something is missing. What is addictively reached for only matters to the degree in how the thing affects your life. The reaching to drink alcohol in access has consequences much different than the reaching to go to a program to stop using it. Make no mistake though, the reachings core is the same and that’s what needs to be examined. Don’t let the different consequences of addictive reaching lull you into unconsciousness because all reaching leads to bondage in one form or another; this includes all reaching.
You might say that’s not true, reaching to better yourself is a good thing, but that would mean you need things to be different to accept yourself. Accepting life exactly in the present is the only place the peace of not needing to addictively reach to have things different is experienced. I’m not saying don’t better yourself, but if it’s at the expense of your peace of mind, where’s the benefit. I say go for the gold, just understand even if it’s attained you’ll find it’s not providing the benefits you thought it would; shortly afterwards more gold will be addictively reached for. Investigate this and see how addictively reaching arises from desire, and desire causes bondage (attachment) which causes suffering. Break free from the addictive reaching of desiring things different and you will inevitably stop suffering…
