Depth of Stillness

The depth of your stillness is what determines the depth of your love. Without depth there is just what’s on the surface and this flip flops so easily because of the dependency on things…

The deeper the stillness is your foundation, the more love will be emanated in your life, and obviously the more love you have, the more love you can give. Also the deeper the stillness, the less your conditioning is in control. Go to the depth not known and go to a place of purity. This will take a tremendous amount of understanding of why you aren’t this way already. The transformation that occurs with this understanding from the head to the heart will determine the depth of your love. It’s essential to get to the heart, but without stillness one remains stuck in the head.

I’ve seen this played out first hand in my life so to me, when love comes from the head it benefits no one. It’s the heart of love that’s pure. The head is usually filled with some mind made concept of love; there are many conditions put on this type of love. This is the cause of the flip flopping between the head and heart. The lack of stillness creates a flip flop foundation so our emotions are very easily swayed by things; the things that sway us are allowed to occur because our emotions are that of an immature child. Why else are we swayed when things don’t go our way? Does not a child act in the same manner? Do not we as adults, act in the same manner of stamping our feet when we don’t get our way?

The purity of a child is different than the immature emotions of a child, so learn to go deeper than the surface and you’ll see a level of maturity not previously known. When this does become known, your life will be much more stable because you won’t be so easily swayed by the nonsense the world provides as a foundation. With a solid and mature foundation based in stillness which is beyond what happens on the surface, flip flopping ceases as the love of the heart is how life is lived…

Space of Love

To be inside the space of love the heart must be unlocked. Although this may not change what’s outside the space, it does change you from viewing life from “I” to viewing life from love…

Think of it as though life is a fenced in backyard, when you love you’re inside the fence and when you don’t it means you’re living mostly from “I” which automatically puts you outside the fence. Outside the fence was how the first forty nine years of my life were lived. Occasionally I was inside the space of the fence, but not very often. This was because my “I” conditioning kept my heart locked which didn’t allow me to access the fence. It’s nearly impossible to enter the fence from “I” because “I” is the lock that keeps that heart closed and thus the opening to the fence closed. When you see this, it gives you something tangible to work with which allows the heart to be unlocked. With an unlocked heart one can be inside the space of love more often than not.

Life and love are synonymous, but only when inside the space of love, and you can only be inside when the heart is unlocked and opened. The locks of the world that keep you outside the fence are many. Think of it as though you are on the outside of a house looking in through a window. Love unlocks the heart to see things that were previously unseen; this is what opens you to see as if you were inside the house looking out. When you’re on the inside looking out it’s because the heart is unlocked. With the heart unlocked it may not change what’s around you, but it does change your space from viewing life from “I” to viewing life from love…

Thinking Habits

Part of the process of a settling mind is noticing the incessant thinking habits that cause you and others harm and changing them in ways that are beneficial to you and to all beings…

For years I had thinking habits and acted in ways that weren’t beneficial to me or anyone else. I was perplexed by this for many years because I didn’t understand why this was so. I didn’t get why anyone would do anything that wasn’t a true benefit to their life, but it goes on all the time; just watch the news. Forget it don’t watch the news because there isn’t much benefit to that. We act in ways that harm others and ourselves. To me, this is truly mind boggling, but it’s where my passion to assist others in exposing thinking habits is derived from. I don’t blame me or anyone else for the way I developed; it‘s just the way I became habitually conditioned. 

If there is fault anywhere it’s with society as a whole, that’s the collective conditioning as opposed to individual conditioning, but there really isn’t fault anywhere because becoming conditioned is just the way life is. The type of conditioning is what needs to be focused on. If we were all conditioned to love the world would be much different. Since this isn’t the case we need to learn to develop thinking habits that make us act and think in ways the are beneficial to our well being and the planet as a whole…

Keep Your Side Clean

Life will always take care of itself regardless if you think you’re its self appointed spokesperson and you’re going to set everyone straight who doesn’t conform to the way you think things should be…

Some people are really full of themselves and all they can see is their own righteousness. They will hurt others and justify it as it being for the greater good, but it’s only their assessment of what that greater good is. I would say the greater good is to love, but that’s just for me; I do know this, there is no love in judging. No matter how right you think you are, love is always tolerant, it will never hurt another. If someone is doing something that you think is wrong, life will be their judge, but people feel it’s their right to take matters into their own hands. It’s utter nonsense to think I know what’s best for you when I’m not even sure I know what’s best for me, but how we can justify and really be full of ourselves in taking the inventory of others.

It’s truly amazing how quick people are to judge others, and the judgements are opinion based and only deal with what the person judging thinks. It matters little to the one judging how they affect the person as long as they can get it off their chest. After all, they have deemed themselves life’s spokesperson and they have an obligation to help others see the errs of their ways, so they think. Who is to say that what a person thinks is right for everyone and what makes one person think they know what’s best for someone else. I know I will never tell you how dirty your side of the street is because mine is also dirty; it’s just part of being human, but it amazes me how many people think they’re justified and perfect enough to tell someone else what’s right and what’s wrong. There’s only what’s right for you no matter how dirty someone else’s side of the street may be to you…

Trust Life

Happiness is a by product of love. It’s not something that can be forced to happen, it will only happen when you trust life to produce it as opposed to trying to force it…

You can try and force things to happen in your life, or you can simply trust life. When you trust life it produces a much different living arrangement than trying to force things. Instead of the constant tugging, there is a certain ease and peace when you trust. The tugging is produced directly from trying to force things. Trust produces the opposite, both are within your grasp, it’s a matter of what you truly want in your life; things your way or peace.

You will know what you want by what you pay attention to. The things that you pay attention become the base of life. If you always pay attention to wanting the pleasures of life than self serving energy will be your base. If you pay attention to how can you bring more love into the lives of all beings than that energy will be your base. To be free of the self serving mind is to stop trying to force happiness and trust life to produce it. To cultivate a mind that looks how it can love more produces a life that’s based in trust. When you stop trying to force your happiness, that’s when you will truly be happy because it’s a by product of love not of want…

Chasing Pleasure

Chasing pleasure is so deep and misunderstood that it actually leads one down the road to their own destruction; until the mind settles chasing pleasure will continue to rule…

I’m not writing this to say there’s anything inherently wrong with pleasure, but when it becomes the driving force of chasing it, it will most likely lead to destructive behavior in some way. This also leads to the destruction of society as a whole because society is a sum total of its individuals. If you don’t think this is true, please take your head out of the sand and look around. Understanding what’s reached for to satisfy the thirst of pleasure is where the difference lies in one being at peace or constantly chasing the next pleasure. For me there was always a chase for peace which was pleasure in disguise and it was always sought, but what I used in chasing is where my misgivings were derived from. My tools to quiet this became different some years ago, prior to that everything I used was of the material plane, today this isn’t the case because I understand my pleasure chasing mind enough to see the illusionary urgings arise.

Learning how to manifest a pleasure state of being without anything from the material world is key if you are to ever be free from the conventional pleasure chasing mind and open the doorway to true pleasure; pleasure that’s not dependent on anything from this world. When this is truly understood, pleasure will no longer be chased in a destructive way and you will actually be allowed to live life in the most pleasurable way possible; without attachment…
