"I" Addiction

If it wasn’t for the attachment to an “I” that creates bondage, addiction would be non existent because the craving of an “I” based life to be in some other way would never occur…

Each day most of our waking hours are spent trying to arrange the day to an “I” liking, the only problem with this is most of our day is wasted trying to arrange the day to an “I” liking. This occurs because we have been conditioned to believe there’s an “I” that needs things to be different. This conditioning keeps the mind addicted to this “I” which creates a constant state of agitation; when the mind is agitated it will use whatever tools it has developed. Not so much to quiet the agitation, but more so to distract from it. The distractions in this case manifest as Conditioned Mind Patterns that are constantly trying to arrange life by using whatever it deems necessary to satisfy ”I”.

If it wasn’t for the need to satisfy “I” the cravings to want life to be in some other way wouldn’t exist. This agitation is the cause of the constant rearranging of life and it’s because of “I” needing life to be a certain way, but something would exist without the addiction to a this “I” and that would be peace; the peace of just being because the addiction to the “I” wouldn’t exist. If you don’t think this is true, it’s probably because of the addiction to “I” that’s not allowing your mind to settle so you can be aware of the peace that passes all understanding and go beyond the cravings brought on by “I” wanting things to be in some other way. Until this changes, nothing changes…

Conditioned Scars

Because the past is held onto as if it’s needed it creates an identify formed mostly of scars from the past. These scars show where you have been, but they don’t have to dictate where you are going…

Scars only show where you have been, they don’t show where you’re going. Everyone has a past and there’s plenty of things that have happened that leave scarred energy patterns, but when you awaken for that millisecond it’s a breakthrough of a lifetime; in that millisecond your entire existence becomes different. This is why it’s so important to understand the conditioning that’s taken place over the years because without this understanding it will be impossible to change the conditioning that’s creating scars. The only way life will ever change is when the conditioning that makes scars changes.

The most misunderstood thing about the process of life is how the scars of the past dictate the future. It doesn’t have to be this way, but until you stop listening to your Conditioned Mind this won’t change. This doesn’t mean the scars are to be ignored, on the contrary they need to be faced so they can be identified for what they truly are; energy patterns from the past that are being held onto. They only exist and they’re only in control because of this. The Conditioned Mind is so subtle that it prevents you from seeing there’s only a scarred past because your mind attaches to it…

Harmonic Energy

Although humanity is one consciousness, when individual energy is out of sorts because of selfish desires it puts you not only at odds with yourself, but it also prevents harmony with the entire Universe…

We begin our existence in this from in total harmony with Universal energy. In our beginning stages we’re in harmony with it; there isn’t really much to block this energy. We live mostly fulfilling our instinctual needs, not much true thought goes on. As we get older we start the process of becoming conditioned to whatever environment and influences we’re exposed to. In other words we start to form our story and this story is what changes our harmonic energy. This is why Jesus made many references in his teachings to children, because as a child without the Conditioned Mind being deeply entrenched, your energy remains in harmony with the Universe, or as Jesus called this, Father.

This is why Jesus said “become like little children.” He didn’t say become a politician, doctor, lawyer, professional athlete, writer or anything else because if you have the heart of a child you can become anything that you please because you will be in harmony with the Universe. This harmony is your oneness and it’s what makes you complete regardless of anything that you do; you will attract the things of the energy you live by. You may fool people by being successful according to worldly standards, but the Universe will not nor can not be fooled as you only receive what your energy is in harmony with…

Seeking Satisfaction

For many satisfaction is something that’s constantly sought and it’s a direct link to what keeps the mind in a state of agitation. When things are accepted as they are, satisfaction is no longer a necessity…

We live in a satisfaction cultured society, when it’s cold we desire warmth and when it’s hot we desire to be cool. Chasing after this satisfaction is how so many spend their entire lives, and if it’s not learned to be with the dissatisfaction of what happens and not constantly push them away, there will be very little peace in one’s life. Most live in a place where they’re afraid of this dissatisfaction because it means facing themselves. Although our true essence is the love of all creation, this isn’t seen because the Conditioned Mind doesn’t allow it to be so.

Once discipline is developed that allows you to at least slow the mind down a bit, it can be seen how chasing after satisfaction occupies most of your waking hours; you’re in a constant fix it mode of trying to have things the way you think they need to in order to be at peace. The problem with this is nothing stays the same so you have to constantly make adjustments. It’s truly exhausting to live in this way, but it’s the way most live. It doesn’t have to be this way, but the only way it won’t be is if you can be with what occurs and not want it any different than what it is. This doesn’t mean you can’t have satisfaction, just understand satisfaction isn’t what allows you to be at peace, only accepting things as they are will and that’s only because you see the satisfaction in that…

Storied Beliefs

When there’s awareness that your beliefs are a made up story, contentment takes their place. This contentment is always there, but not experienced because your storied beliefs block it…

Without storied beliefs everyone would view life through the eyes of contentment which by the way are the eyes of peace, but because of these stories this view isn’t seen. The view of storied beliefs are made up by the energy of unconsciousness, this makes everything that happens in life about your beliefs, but it isn’t truly ever about what is seen, it‘s not about anything in particular except the storied beliefs that are formed of what it’s about.

Storied beliefs are what makes the mind attach to thoughts and those attachments are the cause of the associated thoughts that control your life. What’s really happening is this, life just happens it’s not personal, it’s not about anything you think it is. It’s not about right, wrong, love, hate, good or bad, it‘s mostly about learning to understand the minds true nature of quietness and not being lead around by your storied beliefs; whatever you make them. When there’s awareness of this you will truly be content; a contentment that has always been there in the space of quietness, but it was never experienced because your storied beliefs didn’t allow you to see…

Always Needing More

While you’re busy making plans life happens and if you’re not careful most of your life will be missed because you’ll be too busy needing more to enhance it as opposed to living life as it is…

The only thing that makes a person think something more is needed to enhance life is their own conditioning; until this is realized this conditioning will keep you in the state of needing more. This need for more is continuous for most so this means most are missing what life truly offers. If a person is alive life will be experienced, but ask yourself is your life being fully lived or are you under the spell of your own Conditioned Mind that makes you think you need more to enhance life. Needing more is the default setting of most mind; unfortunately so much of life will be missed because of this. This is a mind agitation that keeps needing more in place which doesn’t allow any contentment with what’s actually taking place.

Grab more of whatever you think you need, but except for a few brief moments your contentment will be fleeting. Sit and visualize having all the riches of the world and see what this really changes in your life. It will only be a matter of time before you will need something more because regardless of what one has or what’s going on, if there isn’t some level of contentment with the way things are, life will constantly need to be different and the need for more of what you think will make life better will make discontentment and needing more your norm…

Heart Silence

There’s existence through made up stories, but there’s a bigger picture beyond the stories where one is free because there’s heart silence in the way things are…

When the mind is settled existence becomes of silence instead of reliance on your own limited stories. There’s a deep silence of a settled mind and it’s in this settling that you see the existence of life itself. When you’re in this settled mind state the everlasting silence of the heart is there to quiet the mind agitations which are the cause of all doubt and noise.

A mind that’s settled allows you to live from heart silence. This connects you with the goodness of life, your own internal goodness, and the goodness of all beings. The connection is already there, it’s just not known what it will take to be aware of it. The only reason there isn’t awareness of this is because there are conditioned mind agitations blocking the silence that arises from the heart; these blocks allow all kinds of made up nonsense.

When it’s learned to discipline an undisciplined mind your agitations slowly subside; what naturally remains is a deep unyielding bond with your heart silence. This bond is what’s there beyond the noise of a Conditioned Mind; beyond made up stories. In this space there’s silence because with a settled mind it’s known who you truly are. Hear silence with all your heart and soul and allow the mind to settle so you’re not relying on your own made up stories to live life. When there’s silence life is lived in the most beneficial of ways; as the beautiful being of love that you truly are…
