Life's Purpose

Only when there’s mindfulness of the present moment is life’s true purpose fulfilled because in the moment there’s no Conditioned Mind nonsense to block the Universe from using you for its betterment…

For me, life is meaningless only to the point where I make up a purpose so it’s the way I think it should be. Look at all the so called unfortunate people in the world that need my help, to me anyway. Who would I be doing this for, them or to satisfy my purpose? If we all lived in a state of abundance and there was no one less unfortunate than me (in my mind anyway) what would my life’s purpose be? I’m not saying don’t help others, but does it need to be made into a purpose or can it just be something to do without adding a label to it?

I guess life has purpose, but whatever that is it isn’t what one makes it out to be and it doesn’t really matter what that is because it would only be done to fulfill some inner lack. Life has its own intentions and purpose and when the mind is quiet there can be alignment with it. But when there’s living for a self created purpose, one is in alignment with something the Conditioned Mind makes up, not life. Only when it’s realized to be mindful of the present moment is life’s true purpose fulfilled because in the moment there’s no time, days, years, decades, centuries, or whatever else the Conditioned Mind uses to block the Universe from using one for its betterment. The only thing needed for this to occur is to be still. Once there’s stillness you can be used as the Universe sees fit for its betterment, not to fulfill some Conditioned Mind purpose…

Security of Silence

The energy that unites and draws humanity together is the energy of silence. Because of the security of this space others are attracted to it. It’s the one place where there’s unity simply because there’s security in silence…

It’s very important to be secure in the energy of silence so people know there’s a place to turn to. Many people read my articles and it’s expected they will be there, I don’t mind this because of what has been revealed to me; I’m grateful for this energy. Everyone needs a place where they know they can go for security from the unconscious world. It does matter where you go for this security, if you go to a place that’s used as a distraction it may feel like security, but it won’t be. If you get lost in something menial, the day will go by simply because time waits for no one, but if you’re spending the same day in the state of awareness you will become secure in the energy of silence and people will turn to you.

Don’t be concerned with what others think about you, just be secure in what you know as silence energy and let no one take that away. Being secure in the energy of silence in a world that’s mostly based in “I” (ego) and this will allow others to also be secure which is needed for any transformation to occur. The unity that draws you to someone is the silence energy that becomes a part of humanity. Life is an open experience and if you’re not learning from it you most likely have your mind made up already what you think it’s about. When you truly see these made up stories aren’t needed they fall away; this falling away allows silence energy to arise. When you’re in this space others are attracted to it. It’s the one place where there’s unity of all humanity and it’s simply because of there’s security in silence…

Intention of Life

Life has its own intention and when the mind is quiet enough you’re in alignment with it, not to satisfy a self created made up intention, but strictly for the betterment of the Universe…

You do what you do because the Conditioned Mind tells you what to do. You wake up in the morning and the day begins. You do whatever it is that you do and around sixteen hours later it’s time to go to sleep so you can do it again tomorrow. We say tomorrow, but the reality of life is it’s one continuous journey, there aren’t really any breaks in it. Time, days, years, decades, centuries, are all made up concepts. They’re needed to the extent of establishing some structure in life, but we hold on to them way to much; actually they’re allowed to control life.

I’m not saying nothing matters, but does anyone living really know the intent of life and what truly matters? Life’s intention is relatively unknown, sure we can make things up and as a species we’re actually very good at it. Intentions can be made up about helping others, or loving others, raising a family, being kind, awakening to a made up intention, working on this or that, or whatever it is that‘s used to justify existence, but the bottom line is one day just like that and without permission, BANG existence ends. In the blink of an eye it’s over and whatever it is that’s used to make up an intention is let go of it…

Created Mental Structures

The mental structures that are created to form your identity of self are actually the very thing that blocks you out from being in the space of your true self…

Hold on to your degrees, roles, wealth, social status, and an array of many other labeled things; you think this self is who you are. These created mental structures are nothing more than a story and none of them are truly who you are. Whatever you do in life only matters to the extent in how it allows you to love. An individual’s so called success means little except to the created mental structure that labels its so. Ok, so you’re a doctor, lawyer, school teacher, psychologist, life coach, athlete, author, spiritual guru, or whatever label you think you need to apply to make you into something, except what is created is only a mental structure of you. You are the stillness beneath any label that’s applied regardless of the story you tell yourself.

If this is seen, space is created that’s allows awareness of this so you can remain in the space of stillness. There’s so much attachment to the labeled mental structures that this space is entered very seldom; matter of fact it’s non existence in most lives. Created mental structures are incessant mind noise. This is the never ending attachment to form; an identity to self that begins at birth as soon as one is given a name. There’s nothing inherently wrong with forming this identification until there’s no more space to be your true self, beneath all the attachments. We spend most of our life unconsciously forming an identification and wrestling with our true self. There’s mostly unawareness of this, that is until there is. Once there’s awareness of this space you will spend as much time as possible here because when you’re not in this space it results in creating the mental structure of someone who you are not…

Mental Structures

Wisdom arises when one is fully mindful because the distractions of the unwholesome mental structures fall away. It’s in being fully aware of this that the mind settles and allows you to live without distractions…

There are mental structures of the mind that arise in each moment, they are wholesome, unwholesome, and neutral. The first is the unwholesome mental structure, this would be anything that leads to suffering. Wholesome mental structures are those that lead to peace and joy. The wholesome ones don’t need a belief to be, they just need to be investigated to see the truth of their wholesomeness. The third mental structure is probably the most difficult one because it’s based in non judgement. It’s neither wholesome nor unwholesome, it’s neutral. It arises for everyone in the present moment and its function is to just see what is. This mental structure doesn’t interpret what arises, nor does it attach to it. Think of seeing a stranger on a platform at a train station, without judging there’s simply no attachment and neutral remains the mental structure of the moment. Once there’s judgement the mental structure of the moment changes.

Unwholesome mental structures arise and are attached to and although there is mindfulness of this to a degree because it is happening, it’s labeled and thus attached to for the most part unconsciously. It’s the focus of these mental structures that determine their outcome. Being fully mindful allows you to see, but without needing a label. Being neutral allows you to recognize (perceive) but not necessarily be fully mindful. Wisdom arises when you’re fully mindful because the distractions of the unwholesome mental structures fall away. It’s in being fully aware of this that the mind settles and allows you to live without distractions. Wisdom isn’t something learned, it arises when you’re disciplined enough to remain fully mindful in the present moment more often than not…

Truth or Lie Mind State

The mind may seem complex, but it’s really very simple to innerstand. It can be split into two mind states, truth or lies and everyone who is alive will be guided by one or the other…

There are a lot of things that goes on that determines what mind state you will be guided by; when it’s broken down you’ll be guided by either truth or lies. To me everything that happens is the result of previous conditioning; the results of living in a state of true or lies are vastly different. This isn’t to apply a label that one is right and one is wrong, but if investigated it can be seen how truth produces results aligned with love, kindness, peace, harmony, joy, and lies aligns you with results of anger, greed, hate, unhappiness, discontent and so on. I had a mind state of lies for many years and this resulted in much suffering of feeling isolated and alone most of the time. As a result of this I used many different things to try and not feel this way, but to no avail because not matter what the mind state of lies would always return.

Some years ago I began innerstanding the different results of these two mind states and started developing certain things that put me more in line with truth. A mind based in lies is selfish in nature and produces selfish results; desirable results if you’re based in the lie of the material world. A mind of truth has no selfishness to it and the results are obvious. This doesn’t mean the lie mind is gone for good, but it does lessen to a large degree and hence there’s very little feeling of isolation or hate. If the difference of these two mind states aren’t seen it seems the mind state of lies controls more; it’s because the lie is influenced by the material world. Even though by being alive you are part of the world when you finally wake up what is seen is you don’t have to be a slave to the selfish mind state of the lie…

Beneficial Thoughts or Not

You will go through life with two kinds of thoughts, those that are beneficial and those that are not. If you want to understand the difference your mind will have to settle enough to observe your thoughts…

Watching your thoughts is simple, but it’s not easy and will be the hardest thing you will ever do. If it can’t be distinguished what the difference is between a beneficial and non beneficial thought, it’s more likely the non beneficial ones will remain as your default thoughts. This is because whatever you frequently think about and ponders upon, that will become the inclination of their thoughts. Most people are taught to cultivate thoughts that are non beneficial because mostly what’s developed is based in fulfilling self serving desires. Developing a true discernment of your thoughts is what’s needed for the beneficial thoughts to overcome the non beneficial one’s, if there isn’t observations of your thoughts, discernment will not occur. This is one of the main reason many remain unconscious with non beneficial thoughts.

Watch your thoughts, don’t label them, don’t resist them, just observe them. See them arise and fall away away, wise restraint is our practice. It’s at the heart of our practice, the wisdom of saying no; see what arises with discerning wisdom. The questions to ask are what’s helpful, what’s necessary? What are the thoughts that you’re investing in? Do they further enforce I? Make it that the mind of this great being (you) will not move from what’s beneficial…
