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

Reality check

People seek illusion because its safe and familiar.  Reality is too much to handle, you don't know whats next.  You get to experience the bliss of the moment and than it has to die to make room for the bliss of the next moment.  You are always hanging over a cliff not knowing if something will catch you.  You get to love what shows up instead of rejecting it.  Reality only knows beauty.

When you allow your mind to be in charge you close because the mind is afraid to open.  Anything mental is brutal.  The mind feeds on illusion.

This moment is full of this moment, just show up to the party, without death you cannot come.

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.

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.  

The sage does not do yet all is done.  Lao Te Ching

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.
