Two Energies

Higher energy has to be understood so the bondage of self is truly let go of and your higher self can reach its true potential to be an instrument of love instead of an instrument to satisfy selfish lower energy…

The are two energies to just about everything in life and although many times only the one is seen, in order to go beyond the small self energy the other energy which is if love has to be noticed. This is just about the only way you will be able to go beyond the limited view of self serving energy. If your human existence is viewed only from the human side, the spiritual won't come into play and life will seem very dull. But when you start looking at life from the energy of love which doesn't require human attachment, another view opens to the true beauty of what life has to offer. This beauty manifest in different ways for people, but what it has in common is it comes from the energy of a higher self. We exist in the form of energy and one energy is selfish, the all about me view. This is a lower energy that doesn't allow one to reach their true potential. The other energy or view is the energy of stillness which manifest as love, this is a higher energy which allows the beauty of life to manifest and thus our true potential is maximized.

Learning to understand these two energies will assist in truly letting go of the blocks that keep the lower selfish energy in place. The higher energy is always there to tap into, but if there isn't alignment it cannot manifest. This isn't to deny our human side because it's the form we are in, but attaching to it and making it an end to a means is where the expansion of consciousness ceases. The tighter the grip of the human side the less the higher energy is manifested. This is a Universal Law that has to be understood so the bondage of self is truly let go of. When this occurs one's higher self reaches its true potential as you are an instrument of love instead of an instrument to satisfy selfish lower energy…

Hamster Wheel Path

As long as there is seeking there will always be seeking and one will remain on the hamster wheel path exerting all kinds of energy, but not really getting anywhere…

What keeps a person stuck on the hamster wheel path of seeking is trying to manufacture peace, love, kindness, mindfulness, spirituality, and so on, instead of aligning yourself with the present moment which allows these attributes to arise naturally. This is what keeps the hamster wheel energy in place. The energy of this seeking is circular (like a dog chasing its tail) so it’s never going to produce anything that’s going to get you off the hamster wheel. You may bounce to a seemingly different energy because it’s given a different label, but as long as one thinks they have to do something to manufacture a certain desired result, hamster wheel energy will continue regardless of what it’s called and so you will remain on this circular path.

This seeking of desired results makes a person use an an array of things, from sweets, drugs, alcohol, gambling, tv, success, sex, programs, another book, retreat, a path, meditation, and many other things. What these all have in common is they keep you ingrained in the hamster wheel energy of seeking which is attached to by the Conditioned Mind. A true transformation of the spirit cannot be manufactured. Repeat: A true transformation of the spirit cannot be manufactured. This is because seeking energy is the exact energy that blocks the alignment which allows energy to transform. Only when you get off the hamster wheel can a transformation or shift occur. As long as there is seeking there will always be seeking and you will remain on the hamster wheel path exerting all kinds of energy, but not really getting anywhere…

Unconsciously Controlled

Without recognition of the unconsciousness that’s formed, you’re blindly controlled by it. It tells you to jump and the only thing you can do is jump; the level of unconsciousness determines if you ask how high…

If you want to understand your mind you will need to sit down and observe it. Whatever you think and ponder upon, that is what becomes the inclination of your mind and hence this is what becomes your unconscious actions. If there is no sitting, there’s very little chance for the mind to settle so it can be observed. As unconsciousness is formed it becomes so deeply imbedded in the subconscious that there’s very little observation of your mind activated actions. These unconscious actions are different for everyone, but they are common at their root. They all arise in some way from the desire to seek pleasure. It matters little what’s used to fulfill this pleasure seeking desire and because there’s very little awareness of this it’s in control. There needs to be an understanding that your actions become automatic and are conditioned by how you think. This is what determines whether your actions are wholesome (loving) or unwholesome (selfish). Simply put, loving actions should be cultivated so they become automatic.

If there isn’t any sitting to allow the mind to settle, an understanding of it will be difficult and so observing the unconscious conditioned patterns will not be recognized. Without recognition of this you’ll be blindly controlled by them. They say jump and the only thing you can do is jump. And depending on the level of unconsciousness, you may even ask how high. This is why things are done that aren’t in our best interest without hesitation. Without the ability to observe the thoughts that arise one is like a puppet on a string. Sitting allows the mind to settle so there can be an observation of this and one by one the strings can be cut. If nothing is in place to allow this settling, the Conditioned Mind puppeteer will continue its unconscious control without hesitation and do things that aren’t in your best interest or what’s best for others…

Always on the Beach

Look down at your feet. Regardless of where they’re planted this is your beach. If it isn’t it’s because the need to reach is in place and it’s blocking you from finding the beach you’re already on…

When all of a sudden you’re not at peace, what is it that takes you from it? The Corona beer commercial that tells you to “find you beach” always reminds me if I’m not at peace it’s because I left my beach. For years I was constantly searching for my beach and expect for brief moments, my beach eluded me for most of my life. Why this was so was because my beach was always contingent on something that was outside of myself and whatever its form, it was always a beach based in what I thought I needed to provide comfort. There’s no need to list what these beaches are because there are so many; they are the things reached for. These beaches come in many many forms and unless you truly takes a step back to see this, the reaching will always be there. But finding your beach will never happen.

The lies of the Conditioned Mind will dictate what you will reach for as your beach. Until the conditioning to reach is changed your beach will continue to be sought and never be found. The only way this will change is by going inward to discover why there’s a need to reach and once this is revealed, therein lies your beach. Your beach isn’t from the thought realm though, it comes from the still small voice within that tells you it doesn’t matter where you are or what’s happening, all you have to do is look down at your feet and regardless of where they’re planted this is your beach. If you need something else it’s because the need to reach is still in place and it’s blocking you from finding the beach that you’re already on…

Programmed Reactions

Most reactions that occur in life are programmed and put in place by your own conditioning. If your life isn’t being lived to its fullest potential of love, it’s your own programming that’s 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 programmed ideas are brought into play. So much of what the mind holds is from programming and it’s 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; programmed 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 programmed reactions are triggered .

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

Ray of Light

When you’re aware that all opinions are a made up story, love takes their place. This love is a ray of light and is always there, but it’s not experienced because of the conditioned opinions that block it…

Without opinions everyone would view life through the eyes of love which by the way is the ray of light of peace; because of opinions this ray of light isn’t seen. The view of opinions are made up by the energy of unconsciousness, this makes everything that happens in life seen through the conditioning of your opinions; through this view what is true is missed. This makes life about nothing real except for the opinions that’s are formed by the Conditioned Mind.

Being unaware of opinions are what makes the mind attach to thoughts and those attachments are the cause of the what controls your life. What’s factually 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 simply learning to understand your minds true nature of quietness and not being lead around by your conditioned opinions; whatever they are. When there’s awareness of this you will truly love. A love that has always been there, but it’s never experienced because of your conditioned opinions not allowing you to see your ray of light…

Beneficial Operating System

If anything is ever going to change in our world, the operating system in place will have to change. This will only happen when it’s seen the operating system isn’t providing beneficial results…

Operating systems are used to do certain things and they will do just that, whether you want it to or not. Every operating system can only do what it’s programmed to do. Our mind becomes an operating system in the same way and unless it’s changed or at least upgraded to some degree, it will remain as originally designed. It’s imperative to understand this so first the operating system in place can be identified and second if it isn’t serving you in a beneficial way it can be changed. The operating system that ran my life for many years was a self serving one and after a long period of time (forty nine years to be exact), I realized it wasn’t really benefiting me or anyone else for that matter. This realization is the beginning stages for the possibility of your operating system to change. This will take some effort because of how ingrained it is, but this effort is more about awareness than actual exertion.

Once one becomes aware there may be another operating system so to speak to live by, the process of change has begun. This is difficult because part of the original operating system is to hold onto the familiar even if it’s not providing much benefit. It’s how the dog chasing its tail syndrome remains in place; even at the point of its own destruction. There are many tools and influences to do this, some inner, some outer; it’s just part of the operating system. This is why when a person acts in a particular way they’re more accountable than responsible for what they do. If anything is ever going to change in our world, the operating system in place will have to change. This will only happen when it’s seen the operating system although doing what it was designed to do, isn’t providing beneficial results…
