It’s an inside job

Posted on by philipdodson

Life is an inside job.

Our inner state is the foundation for what we manifest and perceive in the exterior world.

If we are consumed by our mind and all its repeating thought patterns, then we only see others, events and the exterior world through the judgmental filters that our unconscious mind has created.

Then based on that, we act and react. It becomes a vicious circle and our unconscious judgments are only reinforced, because that is all our mind will allow us to see in our never-ending righteousness.

If we choose to simply witness our thoughts and not energise them, we can then remain conscious and present in this moment. Thus allowing us to see the exterior world as it truly is and without the judgements that cloud all our actions.

We can then enjoy an inner state of peace and acceptance of what is.

Suffering comes from our unconscious righteousness that our fragile ego needs.

Our entire existence is only perceived and controlled inside us and we control that alone. It is our choice as to how we want to see the exterior world and what we want to manifest in it, act and react to.

Sort the inside out and everything is as it is and we can enjoy peace.

January the 1st won’t save us

Welcome 2024!!

A new start? A day to resurrect of lives and take action?

Interesting how we almost wait for the date to change in order to spur ourselves into action.

Often though, we go from not doing the things we feel we should to a state of frenzied activity only for that to fade away very quickly. The tsunami of new tasks we take on just because it is a new year exhausts us within a few weeks.

Change can only ever take place now, in this moment, so the date on the calendar is irrelevant.

Also, effective changes are only successful one small step at a time. Once we get to trying to take giant leaps, we fail, because the mind, and all its future projections brings psychological fear which paralyses us into inaction.

If allow ourselves to be present and away from the mind, then we won’t have these ups and downs in action bought about by a change of date.

January the 1st isn’t our saviour…now is.
