Do you want to be right or free and at peace?

Posted on by philipdodson

It’s a simple choice, being right or being free and at peace. You can’t be both.

When we are wrapped up with being right then others are wrong. We are winners and they are losers. There is the feeling of injustice when we enter the realm of right or wrong.

Our egoic mind state causes us to defend our views no matted what, we have to be right.

When we let go of the need to be right, we free ourselves from the battle, the negative energy and we remove the suffering we inflict on ourselves and others.

There is no right or wrong, just a view, a temporary mental construct. Views created by the unconscious mind, where our world view is tainted by the filters that our judgemental biased mind puts on everything.

When we choose to step away from that and become conscious and accepting of everything and everyone as they are now, then we can let go of the pressure to be right.

We can still have a view but we are no longer attached to it and therefore there is no more suffering.

Inner peace is a conscious state of unattachment where we realise that being right doesn’t matter.

When we stop the need to always be right then we free ourselves from the endless debilitating suffering that a sense of injustice causes. Injustice keeps us stuck in a maze of misery. Always wanting this reparations from another for being wrong and us being right.

If we stop the need to be right and others to be wrong, we can leave the maze and move forward with our lives.

All my life I wanted to be right and I finally seeing it simply doesn’t matter.

What would happen if I disconnected from the matrix?

Posted on by philipdodson

The collective mind comes to us via many different forms such as other people, the media both mainstream and social, the internet, and other forms of collective communication. It is a matrix of thoughts, all based on fear that is magnified from the individual minds to become one giant collective fear. 

This fear-based flow of thoughts, opinions, demands and hatred is totally invasive and leads to a complete overwhelm for most of us. However, because we are individually part of this matrix with our own mind feeding this collective and running on unconscious fear-based agendas, we actually need this collective mind. We are overwhelmed and exhausted by it, yet at the same time addicted to it.

What if we switched it off? Disconnected from it? What if we stopped watching the news and TV? Switched our phones off? Stopped reading the newspaper? Stopped listening to the radio news? Stepped away from the drama of others and their fears? What if we choose to disconnect from the collective mind? What if we left the matrix?

Well, from my experience and that of talking to others who have done that to a greater or lesser extent, the answer is you are happier, more joyful, more conscious, you are no longer overwhelmed or fearful, and you spend more time doing and just being.

Has the world ended? No. Did you miss anything that was important? No. When you do occasionally reconnect, is it the same shit just a different date? Yes.

Overwhelm and suffering within are self-inflicted by our choice to connect and stay connected to the collective mind and all its fears.
