Expand your vision

In life, how often do you allow yourself to experience frustration, impatience, or other apparent roadblocks when you are looking? To visualize something in the mind is to allow it to take form and shape in ways the mind can pin down or understand. You may not realize that you are conditioned to view the world and what is unfolding not as it really is but through your own filters of thoughts, beliefs and emotions. Consider this perspective:

A curious monk asks a MASTER, "What is the Way [to see]?"

"It is right before your eyes," said the master.

"Why do I not see it?"

"Because you are thinking of yourself."

"What about you: do you see it?"

"So long as you see double, saying I don't and you do, and so on,
your eyes are clouded," said the master.

"When there is neither 'I' nor 'You,' can one see it?"

"When there is neither 'I' nor 'You,' who is the one that wants to see it?"

The mind creates a problem and its the mind that finds the solution. Love is restored. Any judgement of how something is then creates a sticking point. This then is the beginning of disease. The point then festers and expands. However, through imagination and the use of the mind, one can release the point or problem by believing in a successful solution. It doesn't matter what concoction or creation or rationale it is. What's important then is to satisfy the mind into letting go of the problem that was created by the mind in the first place. With a happy ending, a greater sense of health and peace is achieved. One's vision is then expanded and continues to expand back into stillness as each pillar is consciously disassembled.

Bernie, in essence, love is like an accordion, or a slinky of the universe that is infintiely flexible and moves in all or no directions.

Hi Liara .. I used to let my mind sort my ideas out - I must get back to that creative release .. I shall feel so much happier to be using that side of life ... and not trying to hurdle everything in between - yet life is still slotting into place ..

My vision is 'desperate' to get out of the blocks .. or to be free of incumbents .. cheers and have a good weekend .. Hilary

Hilary, it may seem to be a revelation, but you are already free. Blocks only exist when you focus attention on them, talk about them and believe them into being. Past events have no relevance in this current moment in the heart. Notice the mind only focuses on past or future. You cannot think about the present. You can only feel in the now.
