Seeing

Posted on by philipdodson

Other people are not what our mind wants us to believe.

When we see others through the filters and judgements of our mind, then we do not see them at all, we see only what’s in our mind.

Then we act or form further beliefs and judgments based on the story playing in our own head.

If we choose not to be absorbed by our thoughts and we choose to be present, then we see others as they truly are and act from our true essence and not from biases.

Equally, we become our true self too, no longer dominated by our thoughts.

We are not our mind and others aren’t either. Stop the mind and start seeing.

Knowledge is suffering

Posted on by philipdodson

There does not have to be an answer, there does not have to be a beginning, middle and end. The ego demands an answer so we know and can be superior over others who don’t know.

The mind always needs an answer and it feels out of control if there isn’t one, it feels threatened and it does not like it.

Knowledge isn’t power, it’s suffering. There will always be someone who knows more or something you don’t…it’s all about the mind and being superior. Wisdom comes from our soul and we have wisdom from the day we are born to the day we die. Knowledge is of the mind and is not relevant to anything other than the mind obsessed non-reality that we spend in our heads. Knowledge is always subjective and who really knows or cares what is right or wrong? It really does not matter but we are conditioned and controlled by it.

Ignorance is bliss, not knowing or caring. Letting go and just being is the route to inner peace, pure joy and consciousness.
