True Nature. Simplest Thing On Earth.
“If an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends. If broken by an inside force, life begins. Great things always begin on the inside.” ~ Amit Sodha
There are so many who take the dawn for the noon,
a momentary experience for full realisation, and destroy even the little they gain by excess of pride. Humility and silence are essential for a sadhaka (spiritual aspirant), however advanced.
Nisargadatta, I Am That, Chapter 26
I don’t regret anything, but I’m definitely aware of what I won’t do again. Life Lessons learned well through a simple recognition of patterns over time which when we pay attention to intention and understand where they may be coming from, these yellow flags reveal all. So Simply Pay attention, be astonished, tell about it. #PABATAI True nature is so obvious, as are the masks and facades that dis integrated egos hide behind. Witness the mind afflicted, those still heavily attached and projecting insecurities from a lack of internal space, still gunked up with a lack of clear consciousness. The ONLY open hearted response is to extend compassion. Witness, observe and be aware of any white static addictions of noise where loud external projection temporarily drown out the other voices they may still be ruled by. Extend compassion for those still afflicted by the mind or still presenting with attachment issues and possibly even labelled "illness". Simply listen, pay attention, ease their burden without harming your self and leave them feeling lighter for your presence. But don't put up with taking on their issues or problems of choices as your own. Let them be responsible for the consequences of their choices and NEVER enable them to continue to make poor choices that MAY be fucking up their life. Grown ass sovereign Beings, "adulthood" means to be responsible, be accountable, be wise enough to realize YOU get to Be The Captain of Your Ship, every waking moment, ever utterance, every choice. As do they.
Do you even know your own True Nature? #Atman
True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we REALLY understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us. The more those still attached to thought, the more those who THINK they know; the assumers, the gossipers, the insecure, the more nosy and noisy, the loud pretentious projectors, the more those still mind afflicted, dis eased, lacking wholeness.
These unconscious (NOT malicious) energies often innocently share wasted second hand stories, leak energy, The bucket with a hole, drip, drip, dripping everywhere trying hard to connect via those drips, to prove and justify and fill a still insecure inner void of NOT yet knowing their own True Nature.
So these mostly innocent leakers, the noisy projectors, the mind afflicted, the attached co dependents are still trying way too hard to fit into a heavily conditioned society, they are following expectations and following terms and conditions unconsciously inherited. Some innocent projectors, the creative, the unusual, the unique, the different, may even present as outliers, on an extreme edge of societies accepted spectrum and therefore acquire additional "labels" that society wants them to live with. Society (the moral majority, the dominant force, the rulers and power brokers) can then remain day dreaming in their heavily conditioned sanitized and homogenous bubble, a gated community that puts people in their place, a limited tiny societal box that ONLY has room for those who play by the leader's rules, the inherited family expectations and the now insecure individuals need to control. And project, And win, And accumulate, And exploit, And Judge and Victimize and freely project opinions about any topic when they still lack empathy, connection and understanding of Them Self. Do you even know who you are? Really?
Or have you self abandoned to Fit into a society that needs to control?
The more those still attached to and controlled by the dis integrated mind realize how futile that self abandonment really is, which leads to crisis, chaos and drama, the more they may question all conditions they still unconsciously live by. What is really driving their choices? Present moment or mind affliction? Present moment or inherited conditioning? Present moment or mind attachments due to anxiety, depression or any other label society may have felt necessary to give them?
Question everything. Don't settle for external labels, don't settle for dogma, stigma or living as a still mind afflicted inherited conditioning. Who are You? Really? Who Am I? Really? Get simple. Strip away the dross. What is it that may still be mossing? Self Knowledge? Real, beyond healing...
Why do that lack of self knowledge to your self?
Why keep choosing crisis? Why invite in Drama? Why continually create Chaos?
Why keep choosing ignorance?
All of these CHOICES stem from not yet knowing The True Self. The Whole Self. The Total Self.
Why do that noisy unsettled, anxiously hearing depressive voices to your self?
Do you even yet know your 100% grounded whole self ? #Atman
From moment to moment, Discerningly Choose The Energy That You Want to Align With, trust the felt energy, simply dismiss and detach from the rest. Be present, gracefully listen to even those who make no sense, listen to those who may have an insecure void to fill in their need to steal and dominate the space. They are still deluded by mind attachments, still lost in living, still over compensating for mental health afflictions. And that's ok. Hold The Space, self first and then others. Do you even know yourself ? #Atman Detachment doesn’t mean you don’t care, it means you are fully connected and present in community and still don’t absorb others projections, it means your mind remains clear in spite of any stress or pressure or insecure dis integrated energy that has to prove and project and simply create more static noise, less pure signal. And once you know your Own True Nature, #Atman rock solid and unwavering, #Atman is the wholeness of True Nature, there is never ANY pressure, no crisis, no drama, no stress when you know and CHOOSE to live aligned as your own True Nature. The wholeness, the totality, the unique completeness, not perfection. Welcome home, to you! Anyone can Be that. It's the simplest thing on earth. Once you get out of your own way and surrender to self knowledge... return to who you've always been... clean up the addictions, clean up the static white noise, clean up to being lost in living...
Do you even know yourself ? #Atman
Why convolute?
Why stress?
Why choose control and chaos and drama and gossip and self medicated by pass to attempt to alleviate mental attachments, other people's labels and afflictions?
Labelled or not?
By a so called "expert" or not?
Ready or not.
Here I Am...
No more hiding or seeking.
Warts and all. Exposed. Vulnerable. Boundaried.
A clear and simple and ever so gentle, Fuck Off to all that does not resonate
Dismiss all that insults your heart and soul.
Sure see through the remaining veils others are draped beneath, meet the illness with compassion.
Sure see clearly the by passers, the still stuck, the still stressed, the still unhappy, the still addicted, the still lost in living and trying ever so hard to keep up to an external imposed conditioning.
Have nothing but compassion for the societal illness, labelled or not, diagnosed or not.
There is never any cause to not have compassion for those sleep walking through life, bouncing from one crisis to the next, addicted to ritual, addicted to suppression, addicted to inherited patterns of mental health lasagna, burnt on layer upon layer, and then over compensating by people pleasing and over serving and coming from a facade, coming from a lacking leaky deficit, not an over flowing self care first wholeness... You always come first, remember that. It is ok to choose you, first. Then share from wholeness. Share from enoughness. Share from a bun dance... how absurd...
No meanness, no anger, no need to rant n rave and yell and tell and prove how lost in living you are when you lose your shit... for no real reason, other than not knowing your True Nature, yet...
Don't frequent The Noisy Drug addled wasted misaligned spaces.
When YOU know your True Self,
Why do that to your self?
Those misaligned spaces and places may be...?
Whatever FEELS off for you.
Trust the messages your body is constantly giving.
Are you receiving them?
Are you listening to true self?
Are you able to FEEL the real, or are you simply going along to get along with mind afflicted societal expectations?
So those spaces for each individual may be?
Which may be The Indoctrinated Chapel. For some.
Which may be The Alcohol Fueled Poker Machine Club. For some.
Which may be the zoned out quiet as fuck zen den. For some.
Which may be the bistro bat flies and bullshit hotel. For some.
Which may be The Turn On a Prophet Yoga Studio. For some.
Which may be a library of Who Ray? hoary olde books. For some.
It is all OK.
Choose YOUR poison, your life drugs, your addictions, wisely.
Just DON't fuck up your children..
If you've consciously chosen to have children as a priority, From Love, NOT for love.
And that somatic energy is inter generational.
The energy that created YOUR off spring, YOUR DNA splitting and replicating,
YOUR conscious BIG bang from Love NOT for love, to pro create and create new souls,
NOT lust or hedonism or a mistaken abandoned desperation or that's what everyone else is doing so I better squeeze one out before it's too late... tick tick tick ticking body clocks
well we hope and pray as a society that the creation of autonomous souls is always
From Love and Not For love...
be a pretty fucked up place to be if it wasn't the case...
All Children deserve to Be, from love, NOT for love.
And yes, even you deserve that as the whole inner child YOU still currently are
Hope you have re integrated it all... wholeness, not perfection,
make total peace with your parents as you re parent and dis cover your Own True Nature
as long as you are not STILL pissed off with your parents conditioning of you or still attached or still enabled by and co dependent lost in living addicted, still... that is...
Once you realize it's NOT about YOU and any selfish addictions to work, to not being present with your children, for what ever reason, you take the pressure off. No parent is perfect. How boring.
And from my POV, the bravest souls choose to have children. From love, not for love, remember...
Parenting is THE most wonderous unconditional love that there is.
No biggy if you didn't choose parenthood for what ever reason, I get it. Choice, no regrets.
But parents who connect as Love, from love, not for love, to extend that unconditioned love to THEIR consciously created off spring, float my boat. A Big time Awe. A number ONE in my world.
Thank you thank you thank you to all parents who consciously, discerningly, model and mentor as Love, NOT for love. Your children may well have far netter chances of coming through unconditionally unscathed and not attached to limited mental mind expectations and infections... which so many fucked up unconscious parents pass on to their children somatically as well...
Discerningly. DYOR. Pay attention, let it be exactly as it is in this One Moment.
Feel More. Feel It all. Let it in. Let it Be.
There’s a particular type of sadness you may feel when you catch up with someone you miss and realize that the version of them you were once friends with doesn’t exist anymore.
Their growth and yours have diverged like two roads in the wood. Each choosing their own path forward. And a life like that can only be beautiful. There is enough freedom and space for it all to co exist. You won't ever find the same person twice, not even in the same person. Bless and Wish them all the best. So remain, Eyes & Ears wide open. Mouth less so.
Life is not a problem to be solved BUT a beauty filled mystery to be lived
Start now.
Or when ever ready for no more crisis.
Your Own True Nature is The Simplest thing on Earth.
Be It, live it, embody it and choose The True You with each and every breath.
