A choice of reaction

Posted on by philipdodson

Search deep within yourself. All the wisdom you will ever need is within you, the universe put it there and it will never go.

Wisdom is not life experience stored in the mind, that is simply a temporary mental form of what happened in the past, that no longer exists and is not what might happen now. Well, if you engage your mind it will be, but if we stay within our essence and a very being, there is the guidance we need, not the answer.

Answers are for the mind, wisdom is peace, calm, love and joy, the key indestructible elements of every human soul.

Wisdom is within the formless and unmanifested that cannot be put into words. Deep within us all, there is space and there is somewhere that is always calm. The storm is on the surface of the mind-made exterior form and within our own heads. If the mind dominates, then that unconscious and unreal world, that we created, is all we will ever experience.

If we silence the mind, the mental noise, and become awake and conscious, then we can access the unmanifested dimension, then we can be free, at peace and indestructible and unaffected by the mind-made fantasy world.

It’s a choice we can make, suffer or not. We will not alter what is, just alter how we choose to react to it.

Beyond the mind

Posted on by philipdodson

When we become part of the collective mind and our own mind identifies with it, then we lose any sense of perspective. Negativity dominates the collective.

The more we have become dominated by the mind as a human race the more insane we have become, to the point that to our minds it seems normal. We live so far away from the real-life dimension that is now, the conscious moment, that it seems perfectly regular to be in our heads analysing the past and projecting to the future.

The only way to free ourselves is to realise that most of the 60,000 + thoughts we have a day aren’t needed to be taken seriously, 99.99% are the same ones we’ve been having most of our lives and they are just temporary mental forms. Once we realise that, we can then stop energising them by letting them float past, just being the silent witness to it all.

Becoming the observer helps us to realise the real person, the true being, the soul, the I that is us, is beyond the limit of thought and the mind. True intelligence and wisdom are beyond the mind.

Once we stop associating ourselves with the mind and its stories and ego, we free ourselves to become the true person and inner peace comes. The mind is a tool we can use for its creative functions, which are truly amazing, not to be possessed by its sabotaging thought and fragile and involatile ego.
