Preparing

When we prepare we are responsible and when we don’t prepare we are procrastinating.  That's what gets drilled into us.  It isn't working that way anymore.  I can't prepare for anything and that makes me irresponsible according to society. 

The mind makes up problems that don’t exist and than solves them.  That’s how the mind keeps its existence.  

People are being played like a ping pong never noticing that they are at the mercy of their mind.   The mind says: “If you don’t do ‘this’ now, you wont have ‘that’ later,” and people listen.   Getting away from that philosophy seems like murder.  I find when I prepare I end up having to redo everything.  So I learned to pay attention to the moment and that prepares me for whatever shows up down the road.  This moment prepares me for the next.

The transition has not been easy.  The mental body puts so much angst into me....what if.  Trust comes with awareness and experience. 

  

This moment prepares me for the next.

Your mind will wear you out 24/7 with preparations for the future.  Can you stand up and sit down at the same time?  

People are nowhere to be found, they are always somewhere in the future or the past.

This moment prepares me for the next.  I always have what I need when I pay attention to what is happening in this moment but when I prepare for the future I am always behind and I live in lack.

Only the mind is moving - Part II

The idea of continuity is an illusion.  We teleport from frame to frame to frame.  And one of these days we will skip frames altogether thus appearing at the place of destination without having driven there.   Our lives will become stranger yet as illusion keeps falling away.

In the world of illusion that which is sane appears insane and that which is insane appears sane.  I am mostly out of my mind, which I find is a good thing.

Our five senses are not an accurate representation of reality.  Things are not as they appear.

Only the mind is moving - Part I

Three Bikkhus were taking a walk in the morning sun.  As they strolled along  they passed by a pennant blowing in the wind.  The first Bikkhu said, "Look at that – the wind is in motion."

"No, no, no." said the second Bikkhu. "It is the pennant that is in motion."

"But you are entirely wrong," insisted the first Bikkhu, "It is the wind that is moving. I can feel it."

"Nevertheless," replied the second Bikkhu, "all you need do is look and you can tell that the motion comes from the pennant."

The argument continued along these lines, with each man insisting he was right.

Finally, the third Bikkhu -- who had been silent all during this dialogue -- spoke up.

"Dear friends! I am afraid you are both mistaken," he said gently. "What actually is moving is your own mind."      ARGUMENT  – by Hui Neng

Manipulation

Humans are a primitive species and the universe tolerates them, lets them think that they are in charge.

Quantum physics is just another mental trick ‘that which is observed changes.’  Ha ha ha, it changes no matter what because change is all there is and humans have no control over it.  The universe does what she does.

Humans are always manipulating things so that they can dominate their world. EVERY conversation is a manipulation.   You want people to see things your way, want them to agree with you.  You are manipulating your spouse, your kids, your friends and God.  You are manipulating them into doing things.  Prayer is another form of manipulation.  You want something from God.

When you talk to someone, don’t have an agenda, watch what shows up naturally.   When I talk to my kids I never have a preset idea of what I am going to talk about or if I even going to say anything.  I allow it to arise naturally.  They are usually the ones who want something from me.

The self-help movement, taking courses to improve myself so that I can beat myself up even more because I never seem to get it just right.   Or the Law of Attraction, The big Secret, making sure I learn how to manipulate the universe into giving me what I want.  The universe is not going to support my illusion.  Reality is ever-present and all this ‘Doing’ keeps me from seeing it.

I watch the fragile flowers, they don’t resist, they just let everything happen to them.  And that’s what I am going to do.  I am going to allow everything to happen to me without resistance.  I am going to be that flower.

The matrix, the illusion, the dream

My life is making my mind sick.  My mind can’t handle my life.  I am living outside the illusion, outside the dream, outside the matrix.  My mind is being stretched to its limits.

Every day you force yourself to live inside the illusion and you wonder why you are sick.  And you expect God to help you with your problems.  You are expecting God to function inside the dream thus reinforcing the illusion.  God does not support us in our illusion.

True non-resistance is the ability not to expect God to function in the dream.  This does not mean that one lives without God, but rather, one finds his life to be eternally in God      Joel Goldsmith ‘The Infinite Way’

The Thunder of Silence

 

Today I shall not go anywhere.  I shall sit here and rearrange myself.

" When we achieve complete quietness and peace, the mind is no longer functioning, and we have transcended mind, and risen into the atmosphere of Soul, in which we are receptive and responsive to whatever Soul imparts.  As soon as we become unattached, that is, as soon as we are detached from thought...from hate, fear, want, desire or love of objects or people so that they can float in front of our eyes with the utmost indifference to us....we are no longer in the realm of mind:  We are then reaching, touching, or being touched by our own Soul, which is God/Goddess, and we are in an atmosphere where, when Soul speaks, we can hear.  When God/Goddess utters his/her voice, the earth melts, and all problems dissolve."      Joel S. Goldsmith

My life is about to change

My soul wants me to feel my own greatness.  The world that I have built is gone.  A new world is here for me, I will be stepping into it very soon.  

    “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”       ~Marianne Williamson

My Soul is wild and free

As children we get rewarded (retarded) for good behavior by our parents and in school.  We take this reward system with us into adulthood. 

We tell the universe I am doing a, b and c and now you owe me big time because I have been a good girl/boy.  

We can't manipulate the universe.  The universe operates by her own rules. Get comfortable in this present moment because that’s all we have. 

What works one moment won’t work the next.  The truth in one moment is an untruth in the next because the universe is not stale, it is incredibly flexible. Change is all there is.   

  

Traitor

"One should stick by one's soul, and by nothing else.    In one's soul, one knows the truth from the untruth,    and life from death.  And if one betrays one's own soul-knowledge one is the worst of traitors,"  D. H. Lawrence

Not my True Self

Every day you allow your mind to run (ruin) your life.  What you get is worry, repetition and boredom because that’s all the mind knows.  

The mind is like an alcoholic that needs its fix.  When the mind doesn’t get what it has always gotten it will go berserk.

Easy does it

Let the Universe take care of the logistics.  We are too fast to be slowed down by the mind.

Do Nothing

Austria

Inspiration comes from beyond the mind.  Sudden wealth can happen to anyone in an instant.  The patriarchal mind is trained to act and plan and use logic.

It takes nerves to wait for what shows up naturally. 

When the patriarchal mind is in charge much waste is created.  Resources are wasted including your own energy by constantly going after everything you think you need. 

When it requires maintenance it is illusion.

When you are in the present moment it seems like you will never accomplish anything.  There are no goals, no outcome, no anticipation, no agenda.  You just are, yet everything gets accomplished. 

The Portal Jumper

Only this moment is real.  The rest is fantasy.  Being Still will speed you up faster than a bullet.  Being Still will turn you into a Portal Jumper.
