Its not what you think

You may think certain things are missing in your life; a certain amount of money, the appropriate course of study, the perfect home, the right partner or relationship, business deal, opportunity, or condition.  Look closer.  Be aware you cannot tell life what you need.  Life reveals timeless insight and wisdom to you based on what you think you want.

You may hear people say you are what you think or you are what you do.  Step back.  Get completely clear.  Nothing is ever missing in life.  When you think this is the case, you forget who you are. When you know who you are, anxiety falls away. Whatever comes and goes, changes of state or conditions do not bother you.  What awaits discovery and recognition? Notice the witness of desires arising and falling away.  Notice what witnesses the silence.

People often associate thinking with the brain. However, when the brain is fully lit up and in perfect use, there are no thoughts to shadow or obscure its sweeping vistas of grand canyons. This then is when the dreamer is fully awake and when everything is perfectly true. However, its as if the dreams of others overshadows the individual dream shutting down its production due to lack of a viewer. Thinking as many know it then actually shuts down the functions of the brain. It isolates specific regions based on preferential treatment in the external world. When nothing outside is preferable, or when everything is equally preferred, the inside world becomes the highlight where one becomes a bottomless abyss of uncensored wonder.

Bern, every thought is noise amidst the divine stillness. Yet behind all thoughts is absolute Mind. Behind all things that give rise to thoughts is this Mind.

Dear Liara,
I like your thoughts and your questions about life. Busy, busy minds. We all need to get back on track.
I'm not back to posting yet..... but soon. I miss all my bloggy friends and I do peep in once in a while.
Until that time, I send you love and peace. Manzanita

Manzanita, the essence of being is never off track. The mind would have you believe there is something to do, that there are goals to accomplish to get somewhere. Be yourself. Nothing has to come together. Imagine everything is already together in perfect balance. Be in that place where the mind cannot distract or fool you. Peace.
