When We get lost in mind’s activity-

-We take focus away from Our own Heart.

Mind’s busyness obscures the Silence of Our Heart.

Stop “going with” mind…

Be Aware of thoughts coming and going.

Relax back into the Silent Heart.

Realize that YOU- are the Love that mind seeks…

Our thoughts are made up of the same substance…as our dreams-

-so why do We take them so seriously?

Be AWARE of mind’s dreamlike narratives.

Don’t try to control.

Don’t try to change.

Don’t engage.

Relax.

OBSERVE…consistently.

Stop fighting with a dream…

Love arises out of Nothing at all…

Mind can search for Love in relationships until the end of time-

-but the Heart is only found within Our own Inner Silence.

Use relationships as a mirror…

…to reflect back the reactivity that obscures the Love You have always been.

Spiritual practice- is the unlearning of our conditioned identity…

Mind will want to judge our progress:

Are we “Awake” or “almost free”?

If there’s doubt…then there is identity.

Don’t worry about being so “clean”.

Keep relaxing.

Let thoughts come and go.

Be Aware…

Finding Ourselves lost within desires, attachments, fears or aversions-

-indicates that We’ve lost touch with Ourselves.

Mind’s reactivity…has overshadowed the Blissful Completeness of Our Heart.

Stop going with what mind offers.

Be Silently Aware of What Is.

Be YOU again…

The only Truthful version of Yourself- is Silent.

Silence is Your Original nature.

Mind can only parrot its societally programmed narrative.

Mind is conditioned subjectivity.

Mind…cannot be You.

Be Still.

Be Aware…

Let your societal facade drop.

Be Silent once again…

You’re not “good” at anything.

You’re not “bad” at anything.

You just ARE as You ARE.

Good and bad…are perceiver dependent.

Look at Life without “taking sides”.

When mind is not lost within its dualistic view- a beautiful thing occurs…

…Love arises from Within You.

We are the Deathless Void-

-imagining that we are individuals-

-who fear “dying” into the Void.

Relax.

“We” are momentary projections- within the Eternal Now.

There’s only ever…NOW.

We’re “flashing in and out” of the Now(Void).

Be AWARE of What Is.

Die…into each Now.

Don’t follow anyone else’s Spiritual pointings…

…not even my own.

Use what appears as guidance only.

FEEL what works for you.

Your Path is unique.

It can’t be rushed.

The moment mind mimics someone else’s approach- You’re lost again.

Be Intuitive.

Trust Your instincts.

When mind is Silent- You still are…

You don’t appear with a thought.

You don’t disappear when thoughts go.

Unwind this idea that “I am the thinker”.

Be Aware of a deeper Stillness.

See that in Silence- I Am…

Reflect.

Relax.

Take time to Be Silent.

Exhale.

Who ARE You?

The instant we try to OPPOSE the mind-

-we’ve lost.

This battle must be won…before it begins.

Consistent, passive non-reactive Observation will dissolve mind’s activity.

Mind is the past…projected into the future.

Stop FIGHTING with your past.

Relax.

Be AWARE of What Is.

Being “anti-social” is not a negative trait.

Life is asking Us to LISTEN.

Be Alone.

Don’t feel ashamed or worry.

Leave the noisy world behind.

Go inside.

OBSERVE thoughts, feelings, emotions and sensations.

Let them come.

Don’t react.

Let them go.

Be the WITNESS.

Heal.

“Anything which is troubling you, anything which is irritating you-

-THAT is Your teacher.”

~ Ajahn Chah

“Deciding” what makes us happy-

-creates unhappiness.

A desiring mind puts us in conflict…with What Is.

Conflict creates tension.

Tension creates unhappiness.

Let go of plans.

Let go of dreams.

Let go of expectations.

Remain OPEN to however Life moves.

Surrender to IT.

If something feels forced- then it’s not for You.

There’s a Divine Undercurrent beneath the surface of Life…directing Its Flow.

FEEL when there’s resistance.

Mental grasping or avoidance obstructs the Flow.

The Universe is conspiring…for Your benefit.

Relax into the Flow…

In order for a Spiritual concept to be helpful-

-it must be LIVED.

We may intellectually know that there is no individual “doer” who owns the experiencing-

-and yet, we grasp so tightly to our deep sense of personal responsibility.

LIVE It…

Surrender doership over to Life…

All our lives, we’ve been told to push ourselves.

Strive.

Achieve.

Be better than yesterday.

This is the societal mindset…not Ours.

Who were You BEFORE mind was programmed?

Push INWARD.

Be highly Aware.

Exhale…

Relax.

Observe.

Who REALLY are You?

Silently…I AM.

We may say that “All is One” or that there is “not two”…

…and yet, we keep striving externally for this or try to avoid that.

Mind divides.

Mind CREATES self and other.

We cannot think our Way to Oneness.

Relax the mind’s neediness.

Be Silently Aware.

Silence IS Oneness.

Other than core innate survival needs, fears and desires are conditioned inner narratives.

Stop chasing or running away from your programs.

Go Within, and use passive, non-reactive Observation to unwind them.

Be consistent.

Our programming ends-

-by Being highly AWARE of it.

Everything in Life comes and goes naturally, Gracefully, and without need for grasping or avoiding.

Trouble arises…only when mind judges an experience.

“I want or I don’t want that.”

Stop interfering…

Why make a passing moment into an imprisonment?

Be the Silent Witness…
