Jedi mind tricks

Posted on by philipdodson

They are everywhere and they catch many.

It is amazing that our ‘radar’ for things, our instinct, has been so overridden by our repeating mind patterns that we cannot see anymore when we are being led along by the never-ending tsunami of messages, collective thoughts and broadcasts.

Our wisdom doesn’t come from the mind it comes from the soul, from our very essence, but we can not employ that wisdom unless we are conscious and disassociated with our self-image, our story, our thoughts. We need to be connected with all that is, the universe, our essence, in order to tap into the wisdom.

The mindstream is powerful and it drags us along like a strong magnet from one thought and distraction to another. It is ready to pounce on anything that will trigger more of it too. The mind does not like the conscious present moment, it prefers the past and to hurry you along to the future, where everything will be better. The present moment is just a means to end and not to be enjoyed.

This means that our wisdom remains hidden within the soul and Jedi mind tricks work a treat on the unconscious mind.

Nothing but stillness

The simpler we make life the less pain there is.

When we focus on a few things that bring us joy, then a great deal of what occupies us normally goes away. By ‘normal’ that means the opposite, it means confined by the insanity of our minds and our egos.

We are conditioned to always be busy, never questioning the purpose of ‘busy’. Always be achieving something, consuming food, data, alcohol, drugs and any other form of instant, but short-lived, gratification/’happiness’.

Yet we feel most true to our real soul, to the real us, when we do less and keep it very simple. When we are relaxed, and going with the flow of life then all the stresses and anxiety flow away, positive energy comes and negative energy evaporates. Simply, where there is no drama, nothing to bother us, nothing to fight against, nothing to respond to, where we can be free of the mind and focus deeply on nothing but stillness.

Stillness is where we can be at peace.
