Punishment

Posted on by philipdodson

It’s funny, the unconscious mind controls us to punish others for the perceived harm done by them to our self-image, to our ego, to the mind-created self. They only can harm us if we choose to, if we stay conscious we realise it does not matter.

The insane thing is, it all happens in our mind, and often the minds of others when they react to our punishing behaviour, and none of it happens or exists in the real conscious world.

Weirdly, punishing others or being a victim, or both, are things that inflict pain and suffering on the perpetrator, not the person they attempt to punish.

That is the madness of the mind and its unconscious behaviour. Peace is freely available to all who choose in the conscious moment.

Challenges

Posted on by philipdodson

What comes to challenge us helps to enrich us.

No matter what your path is, there is always something that will come to test us, it is the only way that we expand and grow.

It is easy to be in the moment and present when there is nothing happening, but perhaps when a challenge does occur, how we react and learn is what matters. Staying peaceful, present and conscious is not always easy. However, the more we recognise when we are not, the growth comes and we learn what triggers our mind and our pain bodies. The moment we realise we are becoming the reaction is the moment that we are returning to awareness.

Lastly, we can all afford to be patient with ourselves. Each moment is what matters, not the constant focus on a future goal.
