Some basic contemplative points -
- You have no obligation to listen, believe, or have faith or hope in anything you hear. What you do with or make of what you hear is up to you as it always has been. Consideration is an awakened meditative contemplation. To float ideas and have them disappear is to see they’ve always fit even as we developed ideas that felt stuck - having no place. Once our thinking aligns with reality and truth contrary thoughts dissolve, they do not need to be re-solved.
- Thinking about what you see is seeing what you think. Thinking about what you hear is hearing what you think. Thinking of thinking itself can appear to become our self. The lens of thought is immediate to our experience but it does not condemn us to see things only as we think of them. This only appears to happen once we think our thoughts are true do we think all we become is what we think.
- The nature of a lie is the attempt to reverse the natural order of things. Lies only last as long as they are thought to be true - once a lie is admitted a lie it is no longer a lie. A lie only claims to be what it cannot be. This attempt to reverse the natural order once it is who we think we are has us think acting out of order and suffer disorders are happening to us rather than be caused by us.
- The uselessness of lies is the ability to apply them to productive, useful ends. Once we decide we are what we think struggling is natural since we've decided to fight reality and truth by claiming our own.
- Once the basis of our seeming existence is fundamentally and fatally flawed - since it has no life any more than our reflection in a mirror breathes - fraudulent and questionable experiences filled with doubt, insecurity, vulnerability, guilt and shame are guaranteed to occur.
- Thoughts cannot get the best of us when they are mis-utilized since they have nothing to offer but failure. We only grieve at a loss when we expect what we’re busy obsessively doing will prevent it.
- All efforts to prove a lie true cause disturbances, and the feeling that something is wrong - which is correct.
- Understanding is how we see substance, that which can seem invisible.
- Eyes can't see themselves and we don't need to think we know to know.
- Misunderstanding always creates imbalance, instability, disturbance, and discomfort as guides to help us correct wrong thoughts.
- Treating effects focuses on everything but the cause.
- Sick thoughts, sick actions. To say we don’t want results that are sick is the chance to understand that we can think that denial of what we think and do actually retracts what has been done to have what is happening, appear as something that isn’t or shouldn’t be happening while it is happening.
- We don’t need to locate any specific lie to concede there must be one or more for causing any doubt or disturbance.
- Absolute nature to nature cannot be lost as it is the nature of our foundation.
- MINDS cannot be blown but the shadows of doubt cast by the cloudy smoke and mirrors thought can project will dis-appear with every breath we take and every move we make - I’ll be watching you and my thoughts too.
