Whatever comes

Posted on by philipdodson

What comes to us in life happens only in the present moment, not in the past, not in the future, it happens now.

Whatever comes, we can either deal with or not, we can accept it or not, we can allow it to affect our mood or not.

It is always a choice.

The universe brings us experiences, so it can experience itself through us, the universe has a consciousness and we are it along with all other living things.

In the conscious state, nothing that happens can affect us, only if we choose to make it matter and that comes from the mind. The mind and its story of ‘me’ is affected by everything.

Everything matters to our mind, however, the secret to a peace-filled and joyous life is that nothing matters. That does not mean we are always happy, it means we accept what is and are at peace inside.

Psychological fear

Posted on by philipdodson

Fear only works when we are unconsciously consumed by our minds.

There can be present moment situations of real-life danger that could lead to momentary fear. However, the fear we feel constantly in our minds is a psychological fear as it is based on a projection into the future.

The future does not exist and we can not deal with what does not exist, so it creates the emotion and pain in the mind and the body.

Present moment fear as in real danger, we can deal with.

When we are truly awake, conscious, without the noise of the mind and it’s repeating thought patterns, then we are free from psychological fear and all the debilitating sabotage that it does.
