Natural Truth

Truth isn’t a created story nor is it something that can be manufactured. There‘s only awareness of it when your lies are exposed so expose your lies and natural truth will arise without creating it…

To me it’s clear what truth is and here’s why, fourteen years ago I started to look in a different way to live my life and at the core of this looking was the revealing of my lies. I didn’t know much about anything at the time (still don’t) but I do know I needed a different way to view life. I understood one thing, my own mind was the cause as to why there were lies so I set out to find out why this was and if it was possible to change it. As this process of self inquiry proceeded, my lies were slowly being revealed; as this happened my life become less and less about the lies. It didn’t become about anything else, it just wasn’t all about the lie of needing to fulfill my wants and desires; when this happens awakened qualities (truth) arise. This doesn’t mean everything goes your way, it doesn’t matter how it goes because there aren’t the created lies of wanting or needing things a certain way; without a created story truth is revealed.

Truth is difficult to describe in words because people create versions of it, but I have found truth is in the space of what is without labeling it; although what is has many labels it’s only dependent on what’s occurring at this time. It can be horrible, beautiful, or neutral, the label doesn’t change the truth of what’s actually occurring. Being in the space of what’s occurring now changes it and that’s because without a label there’s aren’t lies, there’s only space. In this space there’s no creating a lie and without a lie is when truth is revealed. It’s not a created version of truth, it’s the truth of just being in the space of what’s here right now and not needing to add a lie to it. In this space is where you’ll become aware of truth, but it has nothing to do with you creating it; it’s a natural truth that arises when your lies are revealed…

Process Awareness

Nothing arises randomly so if there isn’t awareness of the processes in place that determine your view of life, you will blindly live your life as if you were a puppet on a string…

Awareness of your processes in place is what allows you to be aware of what’s truly going on in your life. It’s very difficult to decipher what’s real and what isn’t, but it’s not all that difficult to innerstand the processes that make you view life as you do. Most people are led around blindly without any awareness of why and this is the reason most never break free from their Conditioned Mind; as the same energy patterns remain in place. If something has you in its grip and you don’t have awareness of the process in place that causes this, you will not have the tools to break free from it; it will mostly fluctuate throughout your life. This unawareness of what’s truly going on makes you pursue things that are not truly beneficial to your own well being, and as stated before this is strictly because the process in place isn’t allowing it.

None of our behavior is random, it manifest in the way that it does because it’s what’s in place, you can’t get oranges from an apple tree. Certain Universal Laws are in affect throughout life and regardless if the behavior associated with them is wanted or not, it will arise depending on the process that’s in control. If the process in place makes you see things from any place other than love, this will cause problems. The world is exactly the way it is because the processes in place make people act as they do. Until the processes change that make it this way people will continue to get apples from the apple tree even though oranges just may be better suited…

Delusional Attachments

Understanding the nature of delusion is an attribute of waking up, but it’s not the delusion of the world that you get entrapped to, it’s the delusion that runs your own life…

Most people are unaware of the delusion that runs their life; this delusion manifest as one attaches to their thoughts. The first thought about something is inconsequential, it’s the attachment to the second thought that forms the delusion. To understand delusion there must be awareness of attachments, desires, confusions, and the way your mind works, without this the puppet on string pattern prevails. Certain practices turn you inward to see this, if what you’re doing doesn’t turn you inward you’ll remain entrapped to your delusional state of mind. This is why nothing from the outside truly changes a person because anything from the outside is part of the delusion. A broken mind can’t fix itself and as long as it’s reaching for something on the outside it remains trying to fix itself and thus it remains broken. Until this truth is seen things have to stay as they are because nothing is being done to change it.

We can only know what we know if there’s awareness of it. What this means is you have to develop mindfulness of what you’re doing as it’s being done so there’s awareness of what is being done. If you know what you’re doing as you’re doing it, it leaves little room for delusion to arise. Mindfulness is probably the most important discipline to develop as it anchors you in the moment that what is being done occurs. Delusion only occurs when you live in the story that there’s a past or future. These mind made constructs keep the delusion alive. The present moment can be seen without making a story, even though it passes as quickly as it arises, but the past and future can never truly be seen without a story. Because most people lack the discipline to be present, most lives are lived in a delusional state of existence…

Spiritual Nonsense

Sit often and watch your thoughts come and go, eventually there will be more and more space between them. It’s in this space that you see all the spiritual nonsense holding you captive…

With the emergence of the internet there’s so much information available on spirituality that it really needs to be investigated before you consider using any of it to assist in your development. Here is the definition of Nonsense: Words or signs having no intelligible meaning. Absurd behavior and or subject matter, language that’s foolish. To see if the information you’re using to develop is authentic and truly beneficial, there can’t be anything associated with it that forms attachment. Methods, programs, guru’s, life coaches, teachers, or any other form of propaganda that is used to keep you attached, just keeps you entrapped to the very thing you are trying to break free of. Just as there’s a lot of “fake news” out there today, there’s also a lot of fake information on spirituality. Being held captive is not something that’s truly understood by many people and because most of the information out there is nonsense it holds you in captivity in some way. Those telling you to buy their book, pay for retreats run by paid speakers, or follow a program (instant captivity) are clever to a fault, with the fault being keeping you in captivity.

The only thing you need to do is look within yourself so one millisecond of space is created between your thoughts. Once this occurs and there’s awareness of it more and more space will slowly be created; it takes nothing but awareness to create this space. The nonsense out there that a program, book, method or whatever has your answer, will keep you held captive to the very thing you trying to break free from. I know people defend their so called guru or people they follow adamantly, but it’s only because there’s no awareness of the captivity they’re in. Sit often and just watch the thoughts come and go, eventually there will be more and more space between them. It’s in this space that you will see all the spiritual nonsense holding you captive…

Know Your Mind

Learning to be still is how you get to know your own mind. This is something that first occurs while you begin sitting, and as this is innerstood its knowing slowly expands into your daily living…

The most important thing you can learn in life is the innerstanding of your own mind. This priceless knowledge reveals truths that all the money in the world can’t buy. One of these truths are it’s your own mind that creates its own agitations by wanting what is occurring right now or what has occurred in the past to be in some other way; hence the created agitation. And this is done so many times throughout the day that it literally seems the mind is in a constant state of agitation.

Red lights, favorite teams not winning, traffic, spouse, Facebook post, money, job, boss, coworker or workers, children, government, waiting in any line, weather, people in general, someone who’s religion is different than yours, the next right thing, wishing for this or that (this has a list all its own), opinions not agreed with, and so on. Although it may seem constant, no agitation is. Some last longer and some have more affect on what’s going on, but the bottom line is a mind agitation usually occurs because one doesn’t know their own mind. It’s difficult to stop something that isn’t known its happening and one way you can make the truth about your own mind become known is by sitting in quiet and just observing your thoughts. Don’t judge them or attach to them, don’t make up a story about the sitting, just sit and observe the thoughts; seeing how they come in, drop off and repeat the cycle. Through this process, slowly you’ll get to innerstand your mind and how it operates. This is something that first has to be known while you’re sitting and as it does become known it will slowly expand into your daily living…

Autopilot Reactions

Most reactions that occur in life are automatic and are put in place by your own conditioning. If your life isn’t lived to its fullest potential of love it’s your own autopilot ideas that are blocking it from being so…

Although things appear to be a certain way it’s not always as it seems. It’s difficult to see beyond your own mind when autopilot ideas are brought into play. So much of what the mind holds onto becomes automatic and is put in storage to be used at particular times; this is how most lives are lived. It’s as though we already have in place the way things are going to be handled; automatic reactions are formed in this way.

Advertisement is a billion dollar industry because of this. Politicians have people write speeches using certain words which they know are going to sway people in certain ways. Supermarkets know exactly where to place products. It’s all based on putting things in a certain place so automatic reactions are triggered .

This goes on constantly because the Conditioned Mind makes it so. If you had no previous conditioning none of the above methods would work, but this is not the case. One of the keys to not living an autopilot life is to a develop some way to be anchored in the present as much as you can because the more you’re present the more you’re with what life has to offer. When this occurs there’s peace because the autopilot ideas put in place by the Conditioned Mind are no longer making it appear that things are different than what they are…

Now Reality

Many get stuck seeking because the lie of “I” is never innerstood and life becomes about the story that’s made up as the reality of Now is missed…

The definition of emptiness is a lack of inherent existence. When it comes to the mind this is its true state, the reason I say this is because there is nothing in the mind that is inherently there. In this emptiness arises the conditioned nature of “I” but there also is no substance to “I”. It exist strictly from the story that’s made up; there’s no inherent existence. There’s the body that exist and all it’s labeled components, but if each component was unlabeled, the body would still exist, just not as an “I” form. Look deep within to see if you can truly find where “I” is. Form is emptiness and emptiness is form. It doesn’t mean if the form is reduced it disappears, it means in its reduction is the form itself; these are opposites sides of the same coin. Everything that makes up “I” ideas, concepts, memories, feelings, emotions, judgement, likes, dislikes, opinions, experiences, is attached to as the body, hair, limbs, ideas, and so on, but if you look for “I” behind all this it’s doesn’t inherently exist. This is what stillness is truly all about, stripping away the layers of all the false identification. We identify with all the wrong things and ignore the reality of Now .

The only reason to look within is to expose this lie of “l” there’s no other reason. A reason can be made up, but this is why many remain stuck seeking because the lie of “I” is never innerstood. Life becomes about whatever story is made up, but the reality of what’s here Now is missed. “I” is a story nothing more. It’s seen as real, but the realness of it can never be grasped. It just creates story after story with itself always at the core. Truly investigate this to see if you can find “I”, remember though not the story of “I”, but the reality of Now…
