If you can’t see it

Posted on by philipdodson

In order to find our inner peace, we need to step away from the mind. We need to simply observe our thoughts, do not energise them by responding. The mind is like a magnet, it draws us into a vortex of unnecessary and often destructive thoughts.

The mind, however, has many strategies to deny us peace.

The majority of them are so normal, constantly there, like a static white noise in the background, that we are not even aware of them. The pattern just keeps repeating and we wonder why we stay stuck.

It is like a broken record that plays over and over with the same themes. It will tell us we are not good enough, a failure, not popular, not worthy, a bad this and a bad that and so on. The noise is there all the time and it is only when we become conscious that we can see them and hear them.

Our consciousness is a light and we can shine that light on the darkness of our thoughts that hide in the recesses of our mind.

If you can’t see it, you can’t change it.

Without it, what would you dare to do?

Without fear, what would you dare to do?

When I mean fear, I do not mean fear caused by a current physical danger, we do not know when they will occur and, to be honest, when someone or something physically threatens us right now, we are either going to freeze, fight or take flight. It is not imaginary, it is real. We deal with a situation that occurs now, we do not have time to think, we simply accept and do something, or not.

Psychological fear is what sabotages us doing things constantly throughout our lives. It comes from the mind’s incessant obsession with projecting an imaginary future for us, driven by the self-image and all its insecurities, the need to protect the precious ego.

Being driven by our endless thoughts leads to an imagined fear, one that prohibits us from doing. As it is not a fear caused by physical danger and is only imagined, it is not real, and therefore, we can not cope with it or deal with, as it has not and will not, ever happen.

So without psychological fear, so that means without thinking of the future and thus living in our real lives, right now this moment, what would you do? What would you try?

Crazy, the insanity of creating imaginary fear to stop us living our lives now in the present moment to protect a mind created self-image known as our ego.
