Conditioned Mind Insanity

Only the insanity of a Conditioned Mind cares about winning and losing, and it’s because when it applies one of those labels there’s attachment to the emotional energy of like or dislike…

The insanity of the Conditioned Mind has begun for the 2024 presidential election in the USA. The smugness of who’s in office, the push by the wanna be president. Why this is insanity is because it’s all created from within each individual and it keeps us all divided. We think our division is with others, but it’s only with ourselves that we’re divided. In truth there is no such thing as a winner or loser, there’s only the applied label that makes this so. One person will get more electoral votes than the other so they get the position that will be up for grabs in November. The label that one applies to the circumstances in all of life is what causes all the insanity because it makes one attach to the situations. Since attachment is the root of all suffering even if the one you labeled as your candidate was elected it will still cause suffering. Suffering is the natural energy of attachment; winning causes suffering as does losing.

This insanity goes on all the time not just in an election year. Election just makes attachment deeper because of all the focus on it that has been going on for a substantial period of time. This is why issues within families often arise because the attachment has been in place for a long time. There’s very little attachment with a stranger so there’s very little issue with them, and this is because there’s very little time spent with them. Awareness is a very valuable tool to use in understanding the insanity of the Conditioned Mind. Without awareness the conditioning remains as the reason why people hold onto not getting their way energy. It doesn’t matter who wins except to those who attach to the candidate of their choosing. And it’s only the Conditioned Mind insanity that really cares because it applies the label of winner or loser as it attaches to the emotional energy of like or dislike…

Life Teaches

Allowing life to be as it is and not needing it different, allows life to teach you the lessons that are needed to learn…

It order to not get caught up in making life about something, it’s very important to remain in the present moment. To me if the so called spiritual path is about anything, this is it because it’s the only place that actually exist. I have learned so many valuable lessons the last fifteen years, but regardless I’m always led to the same lesson; non attachment is the only way there will ever be freedom. And it can only be done when our state of being is anchored in the present moment. This is not a belief or concept, this is the lesson life gave me. I don’t really understand all the other teachings, they seem to be about some created answer instead of one that arises. Any teaching that is created to be about something is just a concept or belief. A true answer arises, it’s never created.

When you’re present, you’re with true reality and if there’s non attachment to this reality it will be impossible to lose your center of being; therefore one would never ever suffer. Look deeply at what is attached to. Even if there’s some behavior that’s not changed, if there is non attachment to it, you will remain free. Non attachment/non judgement is the only true state of being where one is free. Even trying to change the world for its betterment is a form of attachment. Allow life to be as it is and life will teach what lessons are needed to learn…

Limited Choices

Going through life without an understanding of how the mind works makes existence much more difficult because it limits your choices. Limiting your choices, limits your opportunities…

We discover the cause of all suffering when we’re truly able to see our thinking for what it is, and understand how it creates feelings and emotions that aren’t real. They feel real because of what our association is to them, but their reality is only relative to our thinking and the association to our identity. When this is discovered and we disassociate with this kind of thinking, we become more aligned with the Creative Intelligence of the Universe which to me is love; love is what gives us so many more choices in life.

When we stop believing in the nonsense of thought, we learn how to allow love to be our guide. This is when we’ll be able to see your thoughts for what they truly are, disassociate from them and separate the ones that cause suffering and limit your choices; this is when our suffering ceases to exist. This is not some belief, this is factual. I know this because it’s my direct experience. A thought cannot cause harm unless it’s given the energy needed to do so, and this is what determines if the thought is held onto or not. The more it’s held onto, the more it limits your choices. In the awareness of this is one’s freedom. It’s your own ignorance of this that creates suffering. This suffering is caused by going through life without an understanding of how the mind works and how it limits your choices; with limited choices you have limited opportunities…

Inner Child Awareness

The more the self-serving mind is in control, the more the light of your inner child is doused by the world, and the less awareness there is that your inner child light is even there…

Everyday, take the time to develop more awareness of your inner child light. We are all born of this light, but remaining aware of it determines how your inner child remains a part of life. There are many traps that takes a piece of your inner child light and locks it away; very few traps take it all at once. As the self-serving mind is developed, if it’s blindly followed the inner child will be there beneath the surface, but it will be unseen. The Conditioned Mind takes on the role of trying to constantly arrange life to be a certain way, this is the baby in us, not the inner child.

Make no mistake between these two, the baby is self-serving, wanting, and selfish. The inner child, is loving, caring, and innocent. Depending on your up bringing and whatnot determines how much awareness there is of your inner child. To understand this is to know yourself, and when you know yourself you can develop discipline to reverse the process that douses your inner child. The more discipline there is, the more your inner child shines forth as when life began.

If the light goes out, it can only be relit from within. Others can provide a spark to start this process, but it will be from the awareness of your own inner child that the process will expand. It’s up to each individual to develop awareness of their inner child, or not and remain trapped to a life that is self-serving, wanting, and selfish. Choose wisely because it will determine not only the awareness of your light, but also the light of the Universe…

Wasted Time

Wasting time on things you don’t know is wasted energy. By acknowledging you don’t know something and being okay with it, the minds usual state of unrest is quieted…

A lot of time can be spent on questions such as are we human beings having a spiritual experience or are we spiritual beings having a human experience. Either way it doesn’t matter much, unless your mind wants to waste time on a definition. Neither statement can’t really be factually proven; it’s like arguing over a parking space in the mall with both parties claiming that the parking space is theirs. Neither can prove the truth of their statement, the parking space is theirs.

Wasting time on something that can’t be factually proven doesn’t enhance life one bit, even to the mind that wants to make it so. So many thoughts that equate to nothing, 10, 15, 20 times the same thought comes in, it goes around in a circle and dissipates, only to return again and again. This is where the value of awareness will assist in making life different. No one is immune to anything that occurs due to being human, but with a practice in place resulting in some awareness, you’re not pulled in to make up a story that you’re a human being having a spiritual experience, no wait you’re a spiritual being having a human experience. It doesn’t really matter how it’s said because either way I Am simply is…

Unconscious Desires

The unconscious mind has a view based in the desires of the world. It’s difficult to break this spell because most of what goes on in our daily lives reinforce the unconscious desires. A free mind doesn’t desire the world…

The struggles with life have nothing to do with life. It’s the view based in the world of unconscious desires that causes the struggle because this view is controlled by the unconscious mind. When desires are fulfilled and things are going the way that they’re wanted, there’s not much of a struggle with life as it’s labeled as good. When things are going this way what causes life to be a struggle is forgotten. When this is done it makes life’s base centered in the world of unconscious desires; these desires pull you around like a puppet on a string.

The more this occurs the more suffering there is in life. Sometimes it is very subtle, but it’s there. As a matter of fact even if there’s some awareness of being controlled by an unconscious mind, it still produces suffering. The suffering occurs just by being in a state where the unconscious desires are in control.

The less the world of unconscious desires are allowed (which is wanting what is wanted when it’s wanted), the less struggle there is with yourself and with life. This is simply because unconscious desires aren’t in control. When this is forgotten and the unconscious mind is creating chaos, the suffering is immense. Desire less, suffer less, but only when an unconscious mind becomes conscious of itself…

Honest With Yourself

If one is to be an effective instrument for others, their foundation has to be based in a truth that’s provided by honesty. Life’s effectiveness is a direct result of how honest you are with yourself…

It’s impossible to be all things to all people, but to know your deepest inner truth allows you to be honest with yourself; when someone is drawn to you it’s from their own inner honesty. To know yourself is to develop the ability to be honest with yourself. Regardless of how you are perceived by others, it’s your own inner honesty that provides an effective foundation; the more honest you are with yourself, the deeper and more truthful your foundation.

We can learn from others, but not by trying to conform to the way they want us to be, we have to stick to truth, that is if it’s truly known. The Conditioned Mind creates a world of surface lies, without going to a deeper level to really understand truth, the surface lies become your truth and your foundation for living. Watch what is held onto with a steadfast grip because if it’s a surface lie, it doesn’t matter how much perseverance you have, it will not benefit you or others. Steadfast and perseverance are admirable traits, but only if they’re backed by truth. Not a made up truth, but a truth that’s found in the stillness of the moment that allows for the entering of a deeper place in the heart that few go. To truly know yourself you have to develop the ability to be honest with yourself…
