When the mind is in charge

What your life looks like when your mind is in charge

If you bring something into this moment that doesn’t belong there it’s earth shattering, it’s like an earthquake.  If the flapping of the wings of the butterfly changes the weather patterns all the way across the continent in another country how much more shattering are the useless conversations people engage in?  Life is ok until people open their mouths.  People really think they are smart when they try to solve problems.  The mind makes up problems, that’s the only thing the mind is good at.  When I have an agenda for this moment my life looks like the desert; there is no abundance nor beauty because the mind sees only lack and ugliness.   

A still mind is the greatest beauty there is because then you can see the beauty and abundance that’s everywhere and the perfection that’s in everything.  The outside is the reflection of the inside.  What you focus on gets strengthened.  Stillness has no problems.  Before I interact with the world I sit in stillness until all the ripples have dissipated and have no effect on me, so that the ripples of the world can’t create havoc in my life.

When the mind is still there is only beauty and abundance

The mind delivers manure

Misthaufen

When your mind is in charge of your life you will have shitloads of manure delivered to your doorstep.  You will try to solve problems that exist in the imagination of your mind only.  This is not the imagination Einstein is talking about:  

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”

Each moment is veiled in the unknown.  The mind has a big problem with not knowing and fills it with its illusionary vision of what it knows, namely problems.  Nothing is possible to the mind. People plan their lives so that they can escape the unknown.  The mind always has to know where it stands.  Leaving things up to 'fate' is too horrifying.  

Relaxing into each moment, allowing it to unfold and embracing it, from day one we have been taught that it will spell disaster, that you will be destitute, end up as a pauper.  To the contrary.  You will have everything you desire, love you can't even imagine, wisdom, abundance, beauty, the world at your feet and than some.

Go Play

Kurt Wenner Chalk Art

In the present moment I always have what I need.  I don't have to go elsewhere to provide for myself.  I don't need to escape into my mind to prepare for the future.  People don't know that they can trust their existence to the present moment.  When you are not present you lack everything.

People think their existence depends on their mind.  The more mental they are the more power they perceive they have.  Same with money, the more money the more powerful. All of these are illusions.

When you need money it will show up because the present moment makes all things possible.  In the present moment there is a door to all the treasures of the universe, like a hidden vault. The vault is always open, you just have to know how to access it.  Your mind doesn't know the combination.  Pay attention to your body and it will show you how to BE there. It's child's play.

Die already, don't let the mind decide what's next

Lulu and Sabine

Never reach for the next moment.

The mind doesn't know anything, yet pretends to be the master of everything.   The mind is ignorant and you put it on the throne of your life, you made it your master, and you are its slave.  

The mind with its neediness and worries is incapable of seeing beauty and abundance.   It  can't see anything real.

Planning is a function of the mind.  When you can't look beyond the mind you are always planning and worrying about the future and you will waste your energy because you will always give in to your mind's fears.  

Without the mind's interference you can just Be, the observer of all things.  When you don't plan you will lose illusion.  You will never lose what is real.   In each moment let go of everything you know about anything.

No illusions allowed in the new world

Live doesn't require any thinking only relaxing into this moment, breathing fully.  When I have managed my breath the next step shows up.

I always have more than what I need.  My mind will tell me otherwise, but I am not listening.  With every experience I tune out my mind more and more.  The mind is a liar, it doesn't have a correct representation of what's going on.

If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich.  (Tao Te Ching, translated by S. Mitchell)

People are tired and weary of their senseless struggles, but we cannot take any illusions with us into the new world.  We are the freedom fighters by experiencing and transmuting the horrors that have taken place over the ages.  Its like sorting through piles of debris, only its not a physical pile.  By feeling the energies they are being transmuted, there is no doing required.  Any acting upon them will only prolong them.  We are the ones who get to experience all the fears and there is no one who will save us.  We have to walk through them.
