Forms

Autumn by Philip Dodson

All forms are temporary, both physical and mental.

Our attachment to them builds our own prison.

Freedom comes when we allow ourselves just to be conscious and accepting of this present moment and what is. When we surrender within and offer no negative internal resistance. We let go and just be.

The seasons in nature teach us that things evolve, flourish and go…however, the complete energy and life of the planet, the universe continues.

The only permanent thing is consciousness.

Seeing without the mind

Seeing the world, for the first time, with total wonder and amazement. Seeing that brings complete joy and euphoria. That’s how a baby sees.

It does not label from the mind as it does not yet have the words for what it sees. We however, label everything we see and as the mind sees it we look at things within the noisy mind stream. We look and the labelling word is spoken by the mind and it’s thoughts blind the vision with its unconsciousness.

If we choose to, we can look without labelling, without thought, as a baby does. Then we truly see with our soul and we can enjoy the wonder and amazement of pure consciousness and sight untainted by the minds story.
