Nirvana and Hades

Posted on by philipdodson

They are not places of the exterior world. They are creations within us.

We can choose to be at peace and experience Nirvana here right now in this moment or we can create our own internal ‘hell’ or Hades within us.

The mind will create hell if we allow it and become our thoughts and the heart and consciousness will bring ‘heaven’, joy, awareness, life, energy and all things that we associate with bliss and a Nirvana.

We have the choice what we experience in every moment. We always have our own Nirvana and we create our own hell if we choose the suffering of the mind.

Conditioning

Posted on by philipdodson

It starts from the moment we are born to the day we die. Parents, teachers, the media, society and so on, condition our minds to a certain judgement, agenda, viewpoint etc.

What if we didn’t condition the mind, for example, English people are conditioned, even still in the 21st Century, not to like French people because of historic wars in the middle ages!!! People who live in Bolivia are conditioned to think very differently to people in America.

We can make judgements of people who we have never met based on the conditioning of our mind. Insane, when you look at that in a conscious state.

People are born the same all over the world, and if we taught ourselves to stop this conditioning process we could change the human race within a few generations.

Strange how we do not teach consciousness, or I don’t remember love or empathy lessons at school, where do we teach patience, compassion, and acceptance?

The real person that we all are beyond the conditioning is not part of the insanity that our mind and the collective mind has created. It’s like a double life.
