Thought Restrictions

When thoughts are used as the primary means to live by, there will be a restricted view provided by the minds content. But when the mind settles the restrictions are lifted which provides unrestricted content…

Humans have wars against each other because of the nonsense of our thinking. Because of this thinking, there’s very little unity with ourselves and with the world. Everyone thinks they’re right which arises from what is heard or what’s read somewhere; all this does is restricts one’s view. These restrictions are the only view of reality that is seen until the mind becomes quiet enough to allow the restrictions to be lifted.

What happens when the mind settles is it allows for two views of reality to be seen, one is the reality of the restricted stories of one’s conditioned thoughts, and the other is the unlimited reality of just doing what’s in front of you because it’s what’s there. Both realities are from the same mind, but there will only be one until the mind settles. When this settling occurs and you see the reality of an unrestricted view, the limitations provided by the restricted view of thought falls away. It will be at this point that you will go beyond the restricted view of thought to see the unrestricted view of just doing what’s in front of you without the need to think about it…

In Sync With Life

When you’re in sync with life it’s because you’re in sync with the present moment. When you’re out of sync it’s because the Conditioned Mind nonsense has begun…

Spirituality isn’t magical, it’s everyone’s true essence. Being alive is being spiritual regardless if there‘s awareness of this or not it doesn’t take away from the fact that your true nature is spiritual. Lets take a practical approach to spirituality so the blocks to awareness can be narrowed down. Look at one of the most common realities of life, to me that would be everything that happens does so in the present moment. This is such a common reality of life, but it’s so hard to live in this moment. We hear it all the time, live in the now, all we have is now, be present, yet it is so hard to remain present.

The point of this is the mind will not stay in sync to the present moment on its own, there will be a need to develop some discipline so it becomes the minds default way. It’s only because of the way one’s mind has been developed to begin with that being out of sync occurs. And understand this, the mind will not become reconditioned on its own, it needs help. It’s in the reconditioning of a settled mind where one becomes aware of their spiritual nature because when you remain in sync with the present moment you’re in sync with the Universe. If there’s the development of awareness of what takes a person out of sync with the present moment, it will be discovered what takes one out of sync with life itself. When this is discovered the default setting of the mind will be of one’s true nature of the spirit because you’re in sync with the only thing in place…

Life Happens

Living in a house and being stuck on the inside because of being unaware there’s an outside is like a person who thinks life is what goes on between your ears…

Someone mentioned to me in a post about being stuck in the rut of wanting life to be different. My reply was this: You’re only stuck when you live in the space between your ears. As the road to happy destiny is trudged, your conditioning slowly changes, but contentment shouldn’t be based on this change. I’ve come to an understanding of life that it’s perfect when it’s accepted as it is; it’s perfect in its imperfections. Until this was understood my searching for perfection remained in place. That’s what one’s search is really all about anyway; trying to have things how they are wanted.

For me my searching ended when I understood my conditioning is not me. I don’t try to be anything or achieve a certain state, I am what I am. This is my place of peace and the great thing about this is it’s not dependent on anything. Read your books, sit in meditation, go to the gym, do yoga and what not, but none of these things nor will anything else stop the searching, that’s until it’s realized what’s here right now is what you are searching for…

Hidden Past

What occurs now happens now, but when it’s seen through the eyes of the past you’re not with what‘s actually occurring. You can’t be present for the present when the past is being used to live now…

Living from hidden past energy patterns isn’t something that jumps out at you, the patterns hide under cover waiting for the opportunity to be used. The patterns don’t have to be glaring nor does the hidden past always manifest as destructive actions. But it is destructive in the way it doesn’t allow you to be with what’s occurring right now; it takes you away from living life now. You end up living the same life over and over, doing the same thing, getting the same results, basically it’s as if you’re stuck in a rut which only gets deeper each time the hidden past is grabbed and brought into the present. You can’t be present for the present when the past is being used. Much quietness will be needed to see the hidden past and how it’s used.

Our hidden past energy patterns are very subtle and are deeply ingrained, noticing this is the first step in the liberation from this energy. This energy is so controlling because it’s brought into the present and blocks the ability to live right now; not many truly live in the moment of what’s actually occurring. Although what occurs now happens now it’s mostly seen through the eyes of the past. There’s so much hidden past energy and only in awareness of this can these patterns even begin to be broken. Watch the mind and how it constantly uses the past to live now. How you can tell that something is being used from the past is by the label being applied to it in the present moment. When it’s all said and done, the present moment needs no hidden past to be…

Being Human

Our walk of life is not one of a made up perfection where it has to be a certain way. Whatever arises has to be accepted exactly as it is with seeing the perfection in the desire of wanting things different…

Being human means having desires. Unless this is accepted exactly as it is without needing things different so one can get a better seat in heaven or move up on the angelic chain of command, life will seem to always have some kind of struggle associated with it. One of the common traits I notice when I talk to people about the Conditioned Mind is they don’t accept themselves exactly as they are; a self imposed label of imperfect is usually applied. There are so many conditioned desires ingrained in each of us and if they’re not accepted as they arise one will live a struggled existence needing those desires to be different than what they are.

Accept yourself and all your desires and just watch as they arise. This isn’t a right or wrong thing, it’s just part of being human and it has to be accepted if there’s to be peace. Today there is much opinionated energy all around which causes much suffering as there are desires for what’s wanted to play out the way one wants it. This wanting usually manifest as individual energy, but at times it will be both individual and collective energy. If results aren’t accepted as they are it’s because the opinionated desires are in control wanting different results. Anything that happens has to be accepted as it is if one is to be at peace. This is made difficult because nasty things occur and because one is human an attached label is applied to what arises as being unpleasant. This makes one want whatever arises to be different and as long as one’s energy doesn’t accept their human desires as they are there will never be peace…

Spirit Within

A person doesn’t wake up because something from the outside shakes them, it occurs because the spirit within awakens; everyone has this spirit within…

When a person has an awakening from within, they wake up from the spirit being asleep and unaware of what truth is. When this first occurs the implications of what has happened aren’t truly realized. In my own case I knew something happened because my view of life changed, but I didn’t know what it meant. I did know for the first time in my life that I was going to be okay. I likened this awakening as though I was dead spiritually, but I had the spirit in my heart that I wasn’t aware of. I didn’t wake up because something from the outside shook me, I woke up because I discovered the spirit within that I already possessed. I didn’t know the value of this at first, as a matter of fact I didn’t even know I had this spirit in my heart. Even when some do become slightly aware of it, it very easily could be mistaken for an ordinary event; for me life was this way for many many years. As I look back throughout my life, I had an inkling this spirit existed, but it was dismissed as just being nonsense. Because of this I kept looking for what was already in me.

Nothing is given to us from the outside that the inside doesn’t already have in its possession, but because of the conditioning in place, there’s no awareness of this. Obviously we’re not talking material possessions, I’m strictly talking about the spirit of love that we all possess. This is worth more than anything in the world and it is also the thing most readily available to everyone, it’s just that the conditioning in place keeps one looking for their answers out there when all along you already have what you’re looking for…

Mind Thirst

Although the pleasures of the world take on many forms, it’s the thirst of the mind that makes one seek them. This thirst can only be quenched in stillness, because when the mind is still there is no thirst…

One aspect of the Conditioned Mind is how it’s in a pleasure seeking mode most of the time. Even when we get down on ourselves, it’s a perverse form of pleasure. The mind wants to keep all the pleasure thoughts and discard the unpleasant ones; it spends most of its time doing this. Whether it’s weaving in and out of traffic, only to catch a red light and have all the cars that you just passed pull up to the same light, or doing something and asking yourself why you did it, the reason for the doing is strictly to seek some form of pleasure. That your own mind questions why you do what you do is how diabolical it is, but understand it’s only this way because of the way it has been conditioned.

The pleasure seeking mode is not one which is in our best interest, but the Conditioned Mind doesn’t really care about that; control is all it cares about. It makes you think seeking pleasure is a necessity, but when the mind starts to settle and it loses its grip on you, you will see the fallacy of this. True pleasure is in stillness not in things, but the pleasure of stillness is not the same pleasure that the world offers. The pleasure of the world is based in lies, the pleasure of stillness is based in truth. The parable in the bible speaks of quenching a thirst that only God (stillness) can satisfy. This thirst is the self seeking pleasure of the world, this is the thirst the world creates, but it cannot be quenched. It’s only in stillness that this thirst is satisfied, not because it’s given something to quench it, but because in stillness a thirst never materializes so there is no thirst to quench…
