We decide

Posted on by philipdodson

We alone choose the life we will live.

We control and create the reality that is the world.

It is ours and ours alone to manifest and yet we believe that it is made up of events and other people and their thoughts.

Once we realise that this conscious moment now is our life and we control completely how we choose to perceive this reality, then we can simply manifest exactly how we want to see now.

It is only the mind that makes things good or bad, happy or sad and so on, we can choose whether or not to listen and take seriously our thoughts, it is a choice we can all make.

Our mind is a part of us, it is not us, and when we detach from it and choose not to be our thoughts, then we can be free to allow the true essence and light from our soul to shine through, we decide that.

Numb it

Posted on by philipdodson

When we numb the bad in our head or life with drugs, alcohol, gambling, food…in fact, any addictive behaviour, we also numb out the good too. So everything starts to seem bad. We do not enjoy life.

Equally, whatever we are choosing to numb doesn’t go anywhere from temporarily blocking it. It get’s locked back in until the numbing wears off.

When we resist within whatever it is that is troubling us then that brings us pain, so we choose to lock it away and hope it doesn’t escape and resurface, we hope it gets lost in the recesses of our mind. It doesn’t, it waits and comes back even stronger.

It is better to always accept what is, to welcome the bad and to let it be there without resisting it. This way we do not need to suffer the pain of fighting it. Equally, if we just let it be without the fight, and do not energise it, then it will start to dissolve.

Always the fight and denial coupled with numbing it to make it go away for a bit leads to the suffering within, both mentally and eventually physically. In addition, our suffering boils over into the exterior and others suffer too.

The numbing also stops us from making the conscious choice within to let something go and to be free from the pain. It is just a patch. We choose how to react to everything within and in the exterior world.

Surrendering to what is, allowing a thought to be, allowing the bad to be, letting go frees us to be at peace.
