Sabotage

Posted on by philipdodson

We worry about doing things and when it is the right time.

There is no right time when you just allow things to unfold and happen. If you put all your focus in on what you are doing right now, then there is no space for the mind to be thinking about doing or not doing, or when the perfect time is.

The mind’s agenda is to sabotage, as there is a risk when we do things to the mind’s fragile ego. The delicate ego can be easily bruised by a comment from others, or a look, or a thought that we may be ridiculed or we could fail. So the mind brings up good reasons to convince us not to risk it and stay stuck in thought.

If we are conscious and in the present moment, then there is no energy placed on thought and we are free from the mind, there is no space for thought if we are deeply engaged in whatever we are currently doing. The flow of each unfolding conscious moment free from sabotage allows us to just start doing and free of doubt we just do, we enjoy, the joy comes from within and we find ourselves freely doing all the things that the mind would have stopped us.

The only time that you can ever do anything is now, and if you are awake and focused you will do.

Jedi mind tricks

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.
