Intuitive Shift

The shift that occurs in an awakening is the inner opening of the heart which allows intuitiveness from within to arise. When this occurs where you would once look only on the surface you now look within…

People think they change when they learn something new, but the essence of what is truly happening is there’s a discovery of what has always been there. It’s not really a change that occurs, it’s a shift from delusional surface thinking with the shift being an intuitive understanding of the true nature of life; starting with looking inward at your own mind. You cannot know truth without intuitiveness, and you cannot be intuitive if you don’t know your own mind. The reason why it’s so difficult for the heart to open so you can live differently is because the Conditioned Mind will not settle down without a struggle. Your mind will tell you to look on the surface to get by in life as long as it’s seen as pleasurable…

Self investigation is not pleasurable especially when it’s first started, that’s why many are hesitant to do it. It’s much easier and pleasurable not to investigate and do what’s familiar, but there are only true benefits when an intuitive self appraisal is done. A step into the unfamiliar will need to be taken so you can get to intuitively know the truth of who you aren’t. 

The mind defaults naturally to what’s familiar because it’s what’s on the surface, but an intuitive self appraisal allows for truth to be revealed and rise to the surface, this way truth becomes what is familiar. When truth is intuitively on the surface, what happens is the veil of ignorance is removed and where you were once blind you can now see. It’s not a change, it’s a shift that allows intuitive truth to be revealed because you are only seeing what has always been there…

Opinionated Prison

When there’s awareness your opinions put you in a self created prison, freedom can take over. This freedom is always there, but not experienced because you think your opinions have value…

Thinking your opinions have value puts you in an opinionated prison. Without this attachment life would be viewed through the eyes of freedom which by the way are the eyes of peace; because of an opinionated prison this view isn’t seen. The prison of opinions are made up by the energy of ignorance, this makes everything that happens in life about your opinions, but it isn’t truly ever about your opinions, it‘s not about anything in particular except the prison your opinions put you in.

Opinions are what makes the mind attach to thoughts and those attachments becomes the prison that cause the associated thoughts to control your life. What is 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 your minds true nature of quietness and not be imprisoned by made up opinions. When there’s awareness of this you experience freedom; a freedom that has always been there in the space of quietness, but it was never experienced because your own mind forms an opinion that imprisons you because you think it has value…

Aimless Thinking

The thoughts you think can be cultivated to be based in love, but it’ll take much practice to develop the discipline to watch your aimless thoughts, and it will only happen if it’s allowed…

There are as many different views of life as there are people. Not any one is entirely right or wrong. We each have our unique way of perceiving and interpreting life, but that’s not where our differences manifest from. The base of what is perceived and our interpretations is where our differences start to create separation in unity and that’s when conflicts ensue, but the real conflict is always with yourself. If we all viewed life from the base of love then love would be the base of existence. Life is Universally base in love, but each individuals perception and interpretation blocks the awareness of this. This is where the break down occurs. Because the mind isn’t taught discipline as we are growing up, our thoughts are mostly aimless; trying to satisfy pleasures and desired that are created by an undisciplined mind. These aimless thoughts are the greatest misgiving to ourselves and to all beings.

Because of these aimless thoughts you become your own worst enemy. If all you had were thoughts of love, conflict within yourself would be non existent; if you have no conflict with yourself you wouldn’t have any conflict with others. No one can harm you the way you can do to yourself, but when the mind gets quiet, you start becoming aware of your aimless thoughts and stop being your own worst enemy. You can then start loving yourself the way the Universe intended, and in the process love all beings…

Muddy Mind

Do what you think you need to do, but any doing is actually an undoing because it keeps the mind in a muddy state. And as long as the mind is muddy, the view will never be clear…

It may be better if you did less in your life if what you are doing is muddy like in a pond; only when the mud settles will the water be clear. So it is with the mind, when it’s muddy it’s stirred up and it’s very difficult to see what’s really happening. This mud can be identified as what you think is needed to make you complete; you see when the mud is settled the mind is clear. When the mind becomes stirred up it becomes muddy and all kinds of stories are created about what’s needed to make you complete. Reading another book may be used, another 12 step meeting, another person to help, losing another pound, more money, and on an on. So many things are used that cause a muddy mind and the truth is none of it is truly needed because you’re complete as you will ever be right now; in the clarity of a settled mind is completeness.

Stories are created to make the mind muddy and it’s because of the conditioning that’s in place. Clarity will never be as long as one thinks there is something needed to do that will make you complete. Doing only keeps the mind from settling; the more one does the more muddy things are. Do whatever you think you need to do, but understand there will never be clarity until there’s no mud. Be the light, be the instrument to spread love, be whatever you want, but this doing is actually an undoing because it keeps the mind in a muddy state, and as long as it’s muddy the view will never be clear…

Our Own Path

Although we’re all the same in the way we exist, our road travelled is our own path to go though life with what seems to be designed specifically for us to learn from…

There is a need to understand your own path in regards to life so it isn’t compared to what someone else’s path may be; this is so your life is lived to its fullest potential. We all have our own path which is the same in regards they all have a beginning and an end, but each path is different because where we begin is different. Take twenty people from all walks of life and go out in twenty different directions from the same starting point. Each one has a different vehicle varying in year and reliability with a map to get to their destination; no one path is designated and it constantly changes because of circumstances beyond anyone’s control; everyone selects what they think is the best path for them.

We develop some tools that are useful and some that aren’t. Some things are pleasant, some not. There is fun experienced along the way and beauty to behold, but there are also difficulties, road blocks, detours, unexpected hazards, health issues, accidents, disappointments, death. Through all this we remain true to our own path, we go forward because it is what’s in front of us. We need not compare our life with others because in realty the only thing that’s the same is birth and death (the final destination at least in this form) death is Universal. So my friends as everyone reaches their final destination it’s discovered the destination didn’t matter as much as the ride, it was also discovered that it was the experience of the ride that makes life what it is and regardless of what happens the joy of any life is in what is experienced, and it’s our own path travelled that makes it so…

One Sided View

A one sided view keeps you attached to a world where there’s very little truth because there’s no room for expansion. If you want to know the truth, the one sided view will have to go…

The more one sided your view is about something, the more you’re attached to that view. It’s difficult to experience the openness of something if you’ve already decided how it is; to remain open one’s view needs to expand This is essential if there is be alignment with the Universe and see the truth beyond the things that you are attached to. Having a one sided view on the things that have a hold on you will need to be let go of if the truth is to be seen; this hold is very subtle. Even the one sided view on whether you like this post or not will keep you in the same place. This post can resonate with you without attachment, but attachment seems to make the world go round. That doesn’t mean it’s a good thing, but that’s just my view.

I lived an existence that was very one sided for most of my life and this caused much conflict with people who weren’t of the same view; wars are started over one sided views. If you’re really honest with yourself you’ll see that every disagreement you ever had with someone was caused by being one sided on a view about something. I’m not saying you shouldn’t stand up for truth, but truly knowing about something and being one sided about it is totally different.

There’s a place of openness. If it’s not understood, you’ll never see truth and you’ll remain in a one sided viewed existence; when this is the place lived from there’s very little unity. When you can just be with life as it unfolds and not label it as this or that, you’ll be on the verge of truly experiencing life, multi-sided. When you’re not attached to everything forming a one sided view, there’s truth to be with life as it is without the need of a one sided view that just keeps you locked in the same place…

Love Intentions

When intentions are aligned with love, this opens the heart to loving all beings. Not because it’s wanted, but because this is the way love rolls when intentions are aligned with love…

Having love aligned intentions is worth more than all the books combined on what it means to be spiritual. Why this is so is because your aligned intentions are yours and the content of any book is someone else’s. Someone else’s idea of you will never be you, no matter if their way is copied exactly. This is why many remain in the struggle because they’re trying to be someone else’s idea of who they should be. You can use books, methods, and whatnot as a tool, but the deep seated intentions of why you do what you do will need to be reflected upon to see if the results of your efforts are aligned with love. Not the story of love, but the love that arises not from effort, but from one’s inner alignment. This is where effort is meaningless if it’s not aligned with love; love aligned intentions result in true meaning. 

There are as many books as there are people practicing, but everyone who reads a book and practices doesn’t necessarily wake up. This is because the intentions aren’t of the necessary energy that allows the alignment with a loving heart. True intentions need to be seen if there is to be harmony with all beings. This doesn’t mean a person won’t harm you or animals and insects won’t bite you, but it’s less likely you will put yourself in those type of situations with having the intentions of a loving heart. In the space of stillness one learns to see their true intentions and in the process have those intentions aligned with love. When this occurs one will love all beings, not because you want to, but because this is the way love rolls when one’s intentions are aligned with love…
