Nothing to defend

Posted on by philipdodson

If we start from a place of acceptance and no resistance to what is, then anything is possible, there are no barriers to what may occur and the exterior world will reflect our inner peace.

If we fight against the reality of the situation and how things are, then life is always a struggle. We are always looking for someone or something to blame or both and have them as an enemy. The thing is, all of this only exists in our mind. It is what we create no one else.

Surrendering does not mean you outwardly agree to everything, it means inner acceptance and inner peace, so when we respond, and we do not even always need to respond, we do so from a place of calm, our view is no attached to an egoic state, we are not defending a position and the universe works with us, there is only positivity. When we come from the position of the mind, the ego, a fight, a position to defend then everything works against us, negativity rises, others reflect our state.

There is nothing to defend when we are not attached to our egos and are at peace inside.

It is all a choice we can make.

Life is mainly without incident

Posted on by philipdodson

Our day to day life is mainly without incident in reality. If we are in the moment, that is now, our real-life and only life, there is rarely anything that is worth a worry or to be fearful about. After all, we can only experience life in this present moment, past and future are of the mind. Tomorrow, when we get there is now. Yesterday does not exist.

In fact, the more conscious we are and the more in this moment we focus, the more we can experience a life without any problems. If a situation arises, we tend to calmly deal with it or not. We accept what is, is, how can it be anything other than what it is and whatever has happened, has happened, it is in a past moment and therefore unalterable and only now exists as a memory in our mind, even if it was a second ago.

However, when we stay in our minds our life situation is made up of memories of the past or projections of the future and we are completely unaware of the present moment. Our lives are therefore in our mind and are full of worry, angst, fear, anxiety, jealousy, rage, emotions, suffering and all the other things that our mind will construct for us, blissfully unaware of the moment that we are in.

A simple, peaceful, calm and joyful life is here now for all of us in this precise moment, once we step into the mind, we choose to suffer.
