The mind is here for entertainment only



My mind will never again hold me back.  It will never again be in charge.  I have learned to listen to my soul and I am safe.  If people knew the havoc their mind is creating, but if I speak up I will be the one labeled insane.  The mind is giving people false security.  Misery feels safer than the unknown.   

The Tao Te Ching

2.  Therefore the Master acts without doing anything 
and teaches without saying anything.
Things arise and she lets them come; 
things disappear and she lets them go.
She has but doesn't possess, 
acts but doesn't expect.
When her work is done, she forgets it.  
That is why it lasts forever.

3.  Practice not-doing, and everything will fall into place.

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
