Trying is the mind

Posted on by philipdodson

When we try that is the mind and when we do it comes from the soul.

We are all creators of some kind, that is what we are here for beyond the primary purpose of simply being. We are here to create experiences.

However, when we try, the thinking mind takes over, and the ego is consumed by the outcome and all the fears connected to the fantasy that is the future.

When the mind is thinking it sabotages, manipulates and over-engineers. We will never create when we are caught up in our mindstreams of uncertainty and projections.

When we allow the creative flow of the universe to flow through our heart and soul, it manifests the ‘doing’ in this moment now. It is not blocked by thought, it just flows. When we are simply focused on doing without thought, our best creations simply flow.

Ignore the outcome. Just start doing and enjoy the process of doing.

Filters

When we make assumptions about situations or people, we create filters that block us from seeing situations and people in any other way than the filter we created about them.

This only then reinforces these falsehoods that we have created based on absolutely nothing other than our mind’s fantasies. The mind likes to have the beginning, middle and end of everything and when it only has bits of the story it fills in the gaps. However, it never fills the gaps with positive thoughts and assumptions, only fear-based negative assumptions.

The better option is to be curious and ask people what they mean or feel. Observe situations and resist the temptation to make judgements. Don’t fill in the blanks and stop the suffering. This removes the filters and then we can see situations and people as they are not as we have believed them to be.
