Doing without the mind

Posted on by philipdodson

When you try to do with the mind, as your thought and imagination engaged, then doubt comes. When all your energies are engaged with the future outcome, your ego steps in and we lose consciousness and are no longer in the moment, focus goes.

If you allow your mind to go silent and just go with the flow of thing you are doing, if let go of thinking about the outcome and result, you let the pressure go, your ego is no longer there, so you are not fearing failure, or ridicule or anything. The doing will flow through you and will happen without any resistance or negative thoughts.

The joy of the doing comes and what you are doing just unfolds with ease.

Look at me…I’m special

We can say, write, do and act in any way to grab attention.

The attention that it will receive is short-lived, because another person seeking attention can come along and go one better.

If it’s attention we seek, we will always be lacking within, as attention, like any form, does not last. The chemical-fuelled hit inside us feels good for the moment, but like any drug that alters our peaceful inner self, it goes and like any high, there is always the corresponding low. The longer it continues the less impact the drug has and there are only the lows.

The human race is now addicted to attention, stuck within its mind and ego, seeking solace from another. No sustained joy and fulfilment can come from seeking from another.

The best attention is to pay attention to the inner soul within us and be attentive to this present moment. Consciousness is true attention to our real life that is now and will bring calm, peace, love and light to us.
