Them

Posted on by philipdodson

I talk about ‘them’ or ‘people’ as if it doesn’t include me.

It’s as if I’m above them or superior. I no longer do this or that. I’m enlightened!! I’m floating on my cloud in my zen like state.

Who am I kidding? I still have the same challenges as others. I’m still on a journey and I still throw stones in my glass house.

We are all on our journeys and no need to ever judge another or feel better or worse. We could choose to see ourselves as one and show compassion and love. Rather than see others as them.

When we stop to truly see others without the lenses of our mind then we are respecting the other person and allowing them to be seen.

We all want that.

Knowledge is suffering

Posted on by philipdodson

There does not have to be an answer, there does not have to be a beginning, middle and end. The ego demands an answer so we know and can be superior over others who don’t know.

The mind always needs an answer and it feels out of control if there isn’t one, it feels threatened and it does not like it.

Knowledge isn’t power, it’s suffering. There will always be someone who knows more or something you don’t…it’s all about the mind and being superior. Wisdom comes from our soul and we have wisdom from the day we are born to the day we die. Knowledge is of the mind and is not relevant to anything other than the mind obsessed non-reality that we spend in our heads. Knowledge is always subjective and who really knows or cares what is right or wrong? It really does not matter but we are conditioned and controlled by it.

Ignorance is bliss, not knowing or caring. Letting go and just being is the route to inner peace, pure joy and consciousness.
