Unobstructed View

The view of satisfying yourself keeps you from seeing your own innate beauty unobstructed. This unobstructed view will only occur when your view comes from looking inward…

Although no one is more special than another, there are some who do see things more unobstructed than those with a selfish view. What makes this happen?  Although I wouldn’t label some as chosen, I will say some are more inclined to not attach to selfish desires which allows for more of an unobstructed view than if you have a view that’s mind based. I have lived two existences, one which was in the direction where there was much selfish suffering and the one I’m living now which is an unobstructed view of non attachment. The only real differences in the two views is one creates suffering and is done in ignorance and the other is lived in the awareness of ignorance. Today my view is as it is because the selfish obstructions don’t control me as they once did. They’re still there, I’m just not as controlled by it.

The unobstructed view that occurs is a by product of awareness, and as the selfish view is let go of, it opens up space to allow wisdom and insights to occur. This opening is directly linked to the letting go of selfish attachments. It’s the self that attaches and it’s the cause of all suffering. Ever so slowing when one begins to look inward the obstructions of selfishness fall away. To me this is what was revealed to the great mystics who were considered special, all they did was look inward. This looking inward is available to all, but one will have to overcome the obstructed selfish view to not be controlled by it. It’s the selfish view that keeps you from seeing unobstructively your own innate beauty and it will only be seen when you begin to look within…

False God Attachment

There are many false gods out there that are used as an idol which keeps you in a self created prison, and although it may appear that the false god creates the prison, the prison is to “I” that attaches to the idol…

There are many traps that create a prison in the world. To me, this is where this gets tricky because anything that is made into a story and is attached to is a false god because it becomes a prison to the one who is attached to the story. God is made into an idol by most people and becomes a prison although most don’t see this. Just look at the different religions and how all the followers of a particular one think their God is the right one. Many of these religions have beautiful teachings, but in the way they’re attached to it actually takes away from them. This isn’t to say there isn’t value in them, but there’s never value in attaching to something because it enforces an I am right and you are wrong idol.

I found this false god attachment happening to me yesterday, someone didn’t agree with my article so right away I felt I had to defend it. I always have to look at myself so I can identify what form my false god is taking on. I’m not saying there is or isn’t a God, this is just to show how attachment to anything becomes a prison a blocks the heart from remaining open to allow everything its freedom. False gods take over when they get control of “I” as “I” becomes your god. I am right is a god as is anything that’s reached for. The world presents many false gods disguised as attachment, until this is identified, the god of “I” will remain and so will your suffering…

Connected Hearts

The greatest gift of life is when we connect with another heart because this energy not only connects one heart, it connects many. It’s this transforming energy that makes a difference and changes the world…

What does it matter if you gain the whole world but in the process you lose the love in your heart. What happens if this occurs is you lose your connection to others and without this connection the connection to life is lost; you could be a billionaire, but you would still be lost. A person cannot truly live without a heart connection to others, they can only exist. There’s harmony with every heart when one is connected, this is the energy of unconditional love; loving with no attached expectations. There is no greater gift bestowed upon a person than connecting with another person’s heart and making a difference in their life; no material attainment compares to this. 

Connecting to a heart doesn’t mean you will automatically be loved back, but if someone is truly connected to you to the core of their heart, their transformation has begun; there will be transforming energy emitted and one will never be as they previously were. Connecting to another’s heart and making a difference in their life is the greatest gift bestowed upon a person because it opens the heart energy to a deep and lasting fulfillment. This energy is not a doing of the human will trying to attain something, it’s a love that’s not truly understood, but it’s so freely given that it has to be shared. Love energy transforms hearts so when you give love and connect with someone, it makes their life different and their transforming energy of love is returned to you. This is why and how it becomes the greatest gift because there’s not only one heart connected, but many are connected. It’s this connected energy that makes a difference and changes the world…

Established Heart

When there’s unconscious blaming it’s unloving, it has to be as it’s the nature of blaming. It matters little how it’s justified and for what reason the blaming is done, all blaming separates as it arises from unconscious energy…

What’s done is done and for the most part it can’t be undone, but the cause of what’s done can be different so it’s not repeated, especially when what’s done is unloving. How this takes place is by establishing your heart so what’s done comes from a place of love more often than not. If this establishing sn’t a constant in your life a lot of what’s done will be from an unloving place of the Conditioned Mind. It may not be an intentional act that produces results that cause a glaring conflict, but a simple act of talking about someone behind their back is also unloving. Don’t blame another if you can’t cast the first stone, that’s all unconscious unloving behavior is; blaming. Conditioned Mind blaming is formed unconsciously just because of all the energy one is exposed to, it’s why establishing the heart is needed; although it has been my experience that the establishing of the heart is more of a not doing than it is a doing.

As I have become more aware of the self-centered I that was in place for so many years of my life, this awareness has resulted in an ever so slowly transformation of energy from unloving (all about me) to stillness (loving) energy. There’s really nothing to do to become more loving because it will just be another story instead of being genuine and natural. In the space of stillness where thought isn’t in control, the establishing of the heart takes place as one’s innate goodness arises; there’s no unconsciousness here. When there’s blaming it’s unloving, it has to be, it’s the nature of blaming. I don’t care how it’s justified and for what cause, any blaming arises from unloving energy. Blame not and you shall not be blamed, but if you are, with your heart established to love, it won’t really matter…

Allowing What Is

You can be with what is or you can be with what isn’t, only one is true, but either way life will be lived. The benefit of being with what is far out weighs the delusion of what isn’t…

When standing on the beach facing the ocean it seems as though the water stretches endlessly. Obviously because of what you have been taught you know this isn’t so. Those early explorers had no way of knowing what was on the other side, they simply went into the unknown. It can be scary, but there is also a certain excitement associated with the unknown, if it’s allowed. Most of the time your own inner fear will tell not to go there; remain with what you know. This knowing is limited, this is what leads to a what isn’t life. There isn’t anything wrong with this, but just understand life will never be truly experienced living this way because it will be controlled by your own what isn’t applied limits; safe is safe, but not necessarily better.

Imagine the what is joy when the early explorers discovered land after being out at sea for months. It’s not that being out at sea is needed to experience the relief of discovering land, but there is a certain what is appreciation of relief when it arises from difficulty. Joy can be experienced without the difficulties of life, but this takes much practice because of our conditioning. Joy is always there. There isn’t a special place called joy land that you discover one day and say now life is joyful. Joy is inward, people think there’s a place to experience joy, but understand wherever you go there you are. If your life isn’t joy filled, it’s not life’s fault, it’s simply because you’re with what isn’t instead of what is…

Actual Reality

Ever so slowly the Conditioned Mind loses its control when discipline is developed. It’s this discipline that allows you to be with actual reality instead of needing to make something up…

At times it’s difficult to be with actual reality because the mind constantly wants to make something up; this is the dilemma the Conditioned Mind creates. It has nothing to do with nothing, but it has everything to do with everything. Through developing certain discipline this constant needing to make something up can be tamed. Ever so slowly the Conditioned Mind will relinquish its control if discipline is developed. My writings may open some eyes, but it’s the development of discipline that allows the mind to settle which will lead to lasting insights that are used to enhance life.

Most people have tools in place that have nothing to do with developing discipline or enhancing life. The tools in place actually reinforce the conditioning which keeps one entrapped in a self created prison. With the prison being a mind that’s everywhere but the only place that truly exists; actual reality. If you’re not with actual reality, you cannot truly live life to the fullest. Of course there’s existence because you’re alive, but being alive doesn’t equate to living life to the fullest. Only being with actual reality will ensure this and only with discipline will the mind settle enough for you to be with actual reality instead of needing to make something up…

Loving Moments

Loving moments occur in the present, self-serving desires disrupt the awareness of this. Only a mind that’s settled to be present can understand a loving moment…

Sometimes it’s difficult to know what the right thing to do is. I’m not talking about clearly recognizable things, sometimes it isn’t so clear as to what should be done. It’s especially difficult when it involves other people. For myself, letting go allows me to be more focused on love; this is all part of the learning curve of letting go. It matters little what your intentions are if your reactions aren’t of love.

This learning curve should be used to stay open to expand a view of love and not get caught up in a self-serving view. Love and tolerance have to be at the forefront when others are involved. It’s not always easy to understand where others are coming from so it’s better not to judge and to try and deal with situations from a loving place. This is much easier said than done, but by practicing quietness it gets easier to decipher what the right action is. We shouldn’t be too hard on ourselves because of our Conditioned Mind, the slow process of awakening has to be accepted if there’s to be peace. On the other hand our conditioning is not to be ignored because we won’t learn from it and the same reactions will be repeated over and over again.

Although our journey may seem mundane at times, it’s only a self-serving mind that makes it seem this way; life can never be mundane. Each moment of each day is new unto itself, and when it’s lived in the present it’ll be realized what a gift life truly is. It’ll be understood what our learning curve affords us is not the mundane life of living in the past or future, but the ability to live in the present and respond to life from a place of love instead of reacting to it from a self-serving mind. The more this is done, the less mundane life will be and the more loving moments one will have for themselves and hence for all beings…
