A Viewing Heart

When there’s awareness of the heart view instead of the mind view and you don’t engage in what comes from the mind, it makes for a view of life that is much different than the view of most people…

A view from the mind is very different than a heart view; the mind has a much different agenda than the heart. Every conflict known to mankind has been because of the mind. Even when Jesus trashed the market place, it was from the mind; the proof of this was that he didn’t like what was going on; you cannot have a conflict from the heart. The heart aches at times and all compassion comes from the heart, but there’s an understanding from the heart that the mind just can’t grasp. Mind seeing is strictly from the way one is conditioned. Heart seeing arises from the space of stillness. I can tell right away when someone comes from their head because there’s attachment with what’s being said. Usually the sentences starts with my, I, me or it will be said, I see what you’re saying, but.

Seeing from the heart doesn’t make you smarter than anyone, all it means is you’ve been granted the ability to see from the heart. It’s difficult to see from the heart because of all the mind based distractions in place. These distractions keeps you entrapped to the reaching of a view from the mind. Reach, reach, reach, the heart needs no such reaching, it realizes it’s completeness as it is. When your view is from the heart you become more of an observer than a reactor, at least that’s been my experience. I’ve lived a mind based existence for many years, and even today the old conditioning tries to resurface, but because of the awareness of the different mind views there’s no engagement with what comes from the mind and this naturally allows a view from the heart to arise; when you live from the heart it makes for a view of life that’s much different than the view of most people see…

Inner Space

It’s the outer view of satisfying “I” that keeps you from the inner space of seeing your own innate beauty. This space will only occur when your view comes from the inside out…

Although no one is more special than another in this existence, there are some who do see things from inner space instead of the outside view. What makes this happen for some and not for others? I wouldn’t label some as chosen, but I would say some are more inclined to not attach to a outside view which allows for much more inner space than if you‘re in the grip of a Conditioned Mind based view. I have lived two existences, one which had an outside direction where there was much self created suffering and the other that I’m living today which is in the direction of inner space. The differences in the two views is the outside view created suffering and was done in ignorance and the inner space one allows awareness of the ignorance. Today my view is as it is because the outer distractions don’t control me as they once did. I’m still in the world, but I’m not as controlled by it.

The inner space that occurs is a by product of awareness as the outer view is let go of. This allows wisdom, insights, and space to occur. This is directly linked to the letting go of “I”; it’s “I” that attaches and causes all suffering. Ever so slowing when you begin to look inward the outer distractions of “I” fall away. To me this is what was revealed to the great mystic’s; they were considered special, but all they did was look to their inner space. This inner space is available to all, but you’ll have to overcome the outer view of “I” to not be distracted from it. It’s the outer view that keeps you from the awareness of your own innate beauty and it will only be seen when you’re aware there’s inner space…

Truth Revealed

If you’re to have the truth revealed of who you are, you’re going to have to study the Conditioned Mind and have the willingness to sit so the process of revealing the layers of your conditioning can begin…

Nothing will ever change as long you continue to blame others and look outside yourself for answers. If you don’t become aware of all the conditioning in place, having the truth of existence revealed, which requires nothing but being in its space, will be just about impossible; this is only because the Conditioned Mind doesn’t allow it. Using the onion analogy substitute the onion with humans and the core is truth. Every onion has layers, but unless the onions layers are peeled, its core will never be exposed. It will always be there as it’s a natural part of every onion, but without actually peeling the onion the core will remain hidden. The natural process of an onion is to cover its core; humans have evolved the same. The Conditioned Mind provides the layers that need to be peeled so the truth can be revealed; truth is revealed for very few people.

Underneath all the conditioning is the truth of existence; there’s no looking for answers anywhere but within this space. When the conditioning lies are peeled away one layer at a time, truth gets revealed more and more and your true nature takes hold, but if there isn’t awareness of this truth will never be revealed because it can’t. It’s like a force field is around the truth; without awareness it’s as though it’s impenetrable. But take heed because it’s not impenetrable, it’s just going to take studying the Conditioned Mind and having the willingness to begin the process of peeling away the so called onion (lies) of your conditioning so you can get to the truth of who you are…

The Elusive Now

The body is an anchor for the Now, when this alignment occurs there’s harmony, but if the body isn’t used as an anchor, the mind will continue to reach for objects and the Now will remain elusive…

Although life only happens Now, Now is probably the most elusive place for one to not only remain in, but also to get to. To me the reason for this elusiveness is because of trying to get there with the mind and most minds aren’t disciplined enough to get there, let alone stay there. Because of the way we have evolved as a species most minds are in a state of constant flux trying to figure out how to make life more pleasurable; although pleasure is attained at times it never last for long. This is how the mind views Now, it knows it’s where life happens intellectually and there’s much pleasure here, but it doesn’t fully grasp what this means so it never settles. It’s one of the reasons objects are used and until there’s a shift that allows Now to be seen through the body, the Now which allows peace remains elusive.

The body becomes the source of light for the awareness of Now when this shift happens. There’s nothing more to do with this shift except to practice becoming more aware of the source of light of the body. There are many objects the mind uses to keep Now elusive, but the body regardless of the object the mind reaches for is always in the Now. When a thief cases out a place to rob it’s happening Now, but he’s in the mind. The body is what anchors you in the Now; when this alignment occurs there’s harmony. This is as natural as life itself, but if the body isn’t used as an anchor for Now, the mind will continue its reaching for objects and Now will remain elusive…

Thinking Addiction

If there’s awareness of how much you think about yourself you just may be able to settle in a place where your emotions aren’t in control and hopefully you’ll come to realize life isn’t really about you, you just think it is…

As long as you’re alive life happens, actually life happens even if you’re not alive there just isn’t awareness of it. Life isn’t really about what happens as much as it’s about how much you relates your thinking about what happens. This is where the conditioning steps in and determines the relation to what happens next. It can be of love, it can be of hate, but for most it teeters between the two. Very few go to the extreme of either one of these emotions so the results for most humans are balanced. When these emotions do hit an extreme level the results are very noticeable and this is all contingent how much you’re conditioned to think about yourself; this thinking is what manifest as emotions. If you had love as the main influence in your life, obviously you will love more than a person who had hate as their influence. This all arises from inside the individual so if you truly notice the base of your actions you may be able to alter those actions, besides relying on divine intervention which will probably not occur, it will take some practice to allow the mind to settle so this is noticed.

The true addictions in society is thinking and when you’re the main subject of that thinking, it makes your existence very irrational. Now multiply this by billions of people and hence you have the world we live in; billions of people constantly thinking about themselves strictly for personal gain. There’s no one to blame for this because it arises from within each of us. From the mass murderer to the person who is a people pleaser, it’s the thinking mind that causes extreme emotions and everything else in between. So sit often with the intention of developing the ability to notice how much you think about yourself and you just may be able to settle in a place where your emotions aren’t in control and hopefully you’ll come to realize life isn’t really about you, you just think it is…

Unconsciously Stuck

If you’re stuck in a thought based world, most likely you’ll be stuck in an unconsciously based existence. This is a prison that you will only become unstuck from by going beyond your unconscious thoughts…

It’s impossible to be unconsciously stuck in your life unless your own mind allows it to occur. When there’s awareness of this it doesn’t mean things won’t occur that you don’t like, it just means that regardless of what happens it’s your mind that creates the unconsciousness about it and it comes from within yourself. Lots of things happen throughout the day and each time there’s a choice to hold onto it or not. Everyone has the ability within to cease creating their own unconsciousness, it just takes a certain amount of discipline for this to occur. What discipline does is it slows down the thought process that runs continuously. This slowing down is the beginning of truth being revealed. Without it the necessary quietness that allows less unconscious attachment will not happen.

If there’s continuous thought and no quiet all there will be is thought and this will not afford you the ability to watch your unconscious thoughts unfold. If this isn’t seen your mind will never slow down and there won’t be any space created between your thoughts. Life will simply be thought based and you’ll remain stuck unconsciously. When life slows down you’ll see how it’s your own mind that takes something that happens and puts it into a unconscious category. When there’s awareness of this you can break free of the hold your mind has over you and you’ll innerstand you’re not the mind, you’re beyond the thought base of being unconsciously stuck….

Created Space

In the space between your thoughts there is oneness with yourself, life, and all of creation. The more space that’s created the more love infiltrates not only your life, but the lives of all those encountered…

In each moment there’s a decision to be made and that’s to either create a story about what’s going on in the Conditioned Mind or to create space between your thoughts. These places of existence are vastly different on an individual and collective level. If the decision is to constantly create a story, your mind will never settle and your true essence of love will not be allowed to infiltrate your life or the lives of others. Love isn’t the decision of most because of the ignorance of their own conditioning. It’s what we’ve been taught so it’s what’s in place. There’s nothing right or wrong in this, it’s simply what’s in place. It will take much quietness to make a different decision, with the quietness affording the opportunity to wake up and become aware of your own conditioning.

When the decision is made to create space between your thoughts, it’s so different because it involves no conditioning at all. It’s your place of oneness with yourself and others. This is the result of what’s needed if our individual and collective state is to change. When there’s oneness with yourself you will cease fighting anything or anybody. You will not regret anything we have done in our past, you will be at peace. You will help others through the compassion of your awakened heart; self seeking will become non existent. The space between your thoughts is where it becomes known that your struggles are just what’s created by a Conditioned Mind that has been in control for far to long. So when the decision is made to create space between your thoughts, what’s discovered is love for yourself, others, life, and all creation…
