Unobserved Mind

An unobserved mind creates a whole world of suffering. 

Strongest Obstacles

Your strongest thoughts are your strongest obstacles. 

Mind's Addiction to Attention

 The mind's addiction to attention from the external world can only be observe through presence. Become still and notice the mind's addictions to seeking and avoiding. You become free through this simple non-judgmental observation of the reality of the nature of the mind. 

Problems are of the Mind

There are no problems other than the ones the human mind creates and perpetuates. 

A Step Closer to Truth

 One step closer to God (Truth) is one step away from the mind's judgment and one step closer to the mind's judgment is one step away from Divine Presence (Truth). 

Your Mind

You won't have to believe whatever your mind thinks - much of it is biased, incomplete stories conditioned by the environment and your past. By other people's limited perspective and beliefs. 

The Mind Seeks

The mind keeps seeking 

An optimized solution to the highest comfort and pleasure

so regrets the past or worries about a future that does not meet this ideal

The Mind Loves Seeking

The mind loves to seek, but it never really finds what it is looking for. 

You vs The Mind: Truth vs Survival

 You are designed for truth, the mind is designed for survival. The mind will never truly understand the practice of presence and surrender, even when it benefits from it. But you can understand it. At the level of pure presence, pure consciousness, presence and surrender make perfect sense. 

The Mind's Game for More

 Often we may lose ourselves in imagination and memories, wanting things to be a certain way, rather the way it is - wanting to have done things differently. The mind loves to maximise pleasure and minimise pain - thus this game it relentlessly plays. It wants to control. It does not ceases. But the moment you observe the mind's constant struggle for more, or for better, it loses it's power over you - it only takes a moment of presence to notice, non-judgementally and create space for the relentless mind. Peace arises from this act along.

Your Mind

Your mind may want to take you away from God, but your breath can always bring you back. 

The Human Mind's Business

 The human mind is constantly in the business of increasing its utility, pleasure and minimising its pain. It it's limitless pursuit, it create more suffering for itself and the world. 

The Unobserved Mind: Source of Suffering

The unobserved mind is the source of all suffering. 

The Only Reality is Now

 Only the now exists. Everything else is either memory or imagination. The only true Reality is Now.

The Mind's Preoccupation

 The mind is pre-occupied with optimising experience, maximising pleasure and minimising pain, or else the mind attaches itself to a set of rules or ideals that it will attempt to defend or attach to. It can also gain its sense of identity from these ideals and attachments. The former leads to hedonism, the later, leads to fundamentalism. It doesn't matter where or who - this is common to all humanity across the entire world. 

What there is

There is the voice in the head . Then there is everything else - the breath, the body, flowers, trees, stars, galaxy, the universe. Reality. 

But what dominates our lives ? The voice in the head . 99% of which is judgement of our delusional reality. 

Solution : become aware. 

The Trap of the Mind

Our desire to be liked by our own and other people's minds and egos is one of the major dysfunctions of our world and a great source of suffering. The mind and ego are designed for judgement, not for acceptance, not for compassion. That is the job of the heart. The moment you relinquish the need to be accepted by the human mind (yours and others'), you gain access to freedom. You also get direct access to the heart.

Everyone is a Mental Concept

Everyone you “know” , even the closest people to you are simply a mental concept in your head until you are fully present with them without thought. Then you get to know them for that moment you are fully present with them. 

Mind Creates Opposites

 Anything the mind creates, it will immediately create the opposite quality to reveal the original quality. 

when the mind ends...

When the mind ends, love begins.
