Light Portal

The Conditioned Mind is grounded in darkness, this is why most people don’t see the light portal. The light portal is always there, but it needs to be noticed so one can turn towards it and allow it to transform…

All light has a portal with transforming properties, that’s why when one sees the light portal, they’re transformed. Look at a plant, it begins as a seed, it has potential, but it’s still only a seed. You can put it in soil, water it and give it all the nutrients possible, but without a source of a light portal, the transformation from seed to plant will not occur. This transforming light portal is the source of most of life, there are exceptions to this rule as with deep sea creatures or those in caves, but for the most part the light portal transforms. Go into a dark room and turn on the light portal, there’s an instant transformation of the room. The walls come alive with color, the furniture and design of the room are also intensified. Without the light portal the room still exists, but its vibrance is hidden.

When one wakes up to experience this hidden vibrance, it’s the lights portal that transforms just as it is with a plant or a room. You can be in the dark your entire life, but once there’s a light portal, the darkness is gone. It may return somewhat because of one’s conditioning, but it will never be as dark as it once was. It can’t because there will always be some light. This light portal reveals truth, (one’s internal energy of love) and it’s impossible to completely turn it off. As stated before it will turn off only because of one’s unconscious conditioning, but this light portal is always on beneath the conditioning because light is the source of our existence and the true essence (love) of who we are. The Conditioned Mind is grounded in darkness and the world is the way it is because not enough people see the light portal. The light portal is always there, it just needs to be noticed so one can turn towards it and allow it to transform…

Conditioned Cravings

All cravings are conditioned driven. It matters little to life or the Universe whether those cravings are fulfilled or not. You can make up a story fulfilling your cravings matters, but that’s your story…

You can have a craving for things to be a certain way, but to life this doesn’t really matter. Life isn’t a respecter of cravings, it allows things for its betterment. If you’re one of the instruments which are being used in this capacity, you’re truly blessed because you’re probably assisting others in a unique way. This doesn’t make you special, but it does allow you to be free of the self-centered cravings that hold most of the world in captivity. Cravings are conditioned driven, it matters little to life or the Universe whether they’re fulfilled or not. You can make up a story fulfilling your cravings matter, but that’s your story not life’s. Fulfill every craving in your life, at the end of it you will have exactly what you would’ve had if no craving was fulfilled.

It always amusing watching a game and a player does something good, it’s always followed up by pointing upward as if something is watching and cares more about that person as opposed to the opposition. What happens when the other team loses, which is inevitable? I’m waiting for the day when a team loses and points downward. All these stories mean nothing to the Universe, regardless if they seem to work out or not, they are just stories. Who’s suppose to answer them anyway, God, good luck with that. Things will always work out the way they work out; the Universe (life) doesn’t really care if they do or don’t. Cravings are only held onto because they’re thought to be needed, but because life isn’t a respecter of cravings, suffering occurs because that’s what you not life have in place…

Compulsive Mind

Although the pleasures of the world take on many forms, it’s the compulsive mind that makes one seek them. This compulsion can only be quieted in stillness, because when the mind is still, a compulsion can’t exist…

The compulsion aspect of the Conditioned Mind is how it’s almost always in pleasure seeking mode. Even when we get down on ourselves, it’s a perverse form of pleasure. The mind wants to compulsively keep all the pleasure thoughts even if this causes its own destruction; 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 satisfy some compulsive 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 how the mind has been compulsively conditioned.

The compulsive 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, it loses its grip on you. True pleasure is in stillness not in things; the pleasure of stillness is not the same pleasure that the world offers. The pleasure of the world is based in compulsive lies, the pleasure of stillness is based in truth. There are many pointers that speak of quieting a compulsive mind that only stillness can satisfy. This compulsion is the self seeking pleasure of the world, this is the compulsion the world creates; it cannot be satisfied. It’s only in stillness that this compulsive mind is satisfied. Not because it’s given something, but because in stillness a compulsion never materializes so there is no compulsive mind that needs to be satisfied…

Inner Unification

Inner unification results in your ability to love; it’s a simple decision to be made. A self-serving mind generates inner chaos with itself, love generates a mind that’s united with itself…

The simplicity of life is related to your ability to love which allows for inner unification with your own mind. That’s why it’s imperative to understand not the great secrets of the Universe, but your own mind. When the mind is united with itself, there’s unification with all that is; it’s as simple as that. The same mind creates inner chaos and inner unification, which of these is manufactured determines the outcome of your life.

Inner chaos is generated by the energy of a self-serving mind and doesn’t make life conducive to love. If chaos is what’s being created there won’t be much unification or simplicity. What direction the mind goes in is the energy that it generates, and to that extent will there be inner unification. Inner unification is simply your ability to love. This is the hearts direction, hence it becomes the direction of the mind. When love is generated, it produces much different results than when the energy generated is self-serving. Inner unification on the other hand generates the results of being in unity with all beings. Love is the simplest form of life, simply love and inner unification will be. Or not and life will remain a struggle, but don’t blame life for this because it’s your own energy that directs what’s chosen. Inner unification is simple to understand, but it’s not easy to generate…

Self Honesty

Self honesty means what you do when nobody is looking is the same as what you do when you’re being watched. If this isn’t the level of your honesty, it’s because there’s a lack of self awareness…

One way to alleviate suffering is to develop honesty with yourself. Here’s a definition of honesty “the quality of being truthful” to me this is strictly about being true to yourself because when I’m true to me, there’s no way I can’t be true to you. I’ve learned a lot about self honesty over the years; it’s something that eluded me for most of my life. Honesty isn’t about what is shown to the world, it’s about what is done when no one is watching. The world is easily fooled because of the conditioning in place; what does it matter if one gains the whole world, but loses themselves.

Honesty is a huge hurdle in breaking the chains of the Conditioned Mind, without it truth cannot be revealed. If I don’t know what blocks me from being honest with myself, the blocks will remain. Without establishing self honesty, one remains stuck in their old habits because there’s no room for anything new. Certain things trigger certain thoughts and if those thoughts are attached to, it’s usually because self honesty has been compromised. Although there’s no right or wrong in this, this does make someone act in ways as if nobody’s watching which they wouldn’t necessarily do if someone was watching.

To thine own self be true because it’s only yourself that keeps you in a self created prison. This self honestly is tied in with loving yourself; when you’re honest with yourself, you’re truly loving yourself because you’re making room for the mind to expand. This allows for the honesty to do what you do when no one is watching just as you would if someone was. Difficult yes, but only because self honesty isn’t in place…

Temporary Existence

All existence is temporary and the wanted satisfaction associated with whatever is reached for is also temporary. This is the exact reason why one is constantly reaching for something and remains unsatisfied…

Not being satisfied is so subtle and how you will know being unsatisfied is in place is by the reaching for something. The misunderstanding of the temporary nature of all existence is what makes one constantly reach for satisfaction. If it was known the reaching wasn’t going to quench the satisfaction thirst, it most likely wouldn’t be done. You’ll reach for whatever your conditioning deems as needed, and even though it may temporarily quench the thirst, it doesn’t last and hence the reaching commences. When the temporary nature of all things begins to be understood, one becomes aware of the nonsense of reaching. This doesn’t mean the reaching will magically end, but you will start to understand the true nature associated with reaching. If there wasn’t the satisfaction associated with food, dessert, tv, drugs, alcohol, gambling, yoga, meditation, ad infinitum, reaching wouldn’t be done. Everyone who reaches for something assumes there’s going to be some sort of satisfaction derived from it.

Existence is pretty stable as far as life being life, but the events that occur within life are not. There is constant change in everything, but the mind is mostly blind to this because it wants stability (permanence). It defaults to making you believe the next fix will be it, but I guarantee you the next fix only leads to the one after that and so on. It never ends because there’s nothing permanent that allows it to end. Because everything that exist is temporary, the wanted satisfaction associated with whatever is reached for is also temporary. This is the exact reason why one is constantly reaching for something and remains unsatisfied…

Happy Present Moment 2025

Life happens in between the plans that are made. Plans can be planned, but the results are not always in our control. A resolution to live in the present moment is a true resolution for life…

It is the start of a new year, but it isn’t time for resolutions or big expectations because that’s just the way the mind sets itself up to fail. Don’t say last year was a tough year, unless you want to carry that burden around with you. That’s up to you, but it won’t change anything. Life can only be lived in the present moment. It doesn’t mean there can’t be plans, but the actions can only be applied in the present moment regardless of what the future holds or what happened in the past.

Life is one continuous journey, the mind has been conditioned to believe somewhere other than the present is a better place. But here is where life occurs no matter what you’re doing or what resolutions are made. As you wait for the results of your resolutions to make your life complete, it’s literally passing you by. Life will never be any more complete than it is right now. This is something that needs to be realized if you’re to truly live your life and not wait for it to be perfect (only in your mind). You can enjoy the life you’re given instead of thinking it needs to be in some other way. Happy Present Moment 2025 my dear friends and please, live life as it arises in the present moment because it’s the only way life can be truly experienced…
