The Mind…

The mind is a tricky animal...

It seduces you with future fantasy, binds you with past memories, and steers you away from the awareness, absorption, and appreciation of the present moment..

It distances you from the pureness of the Heart, the vitality of spirit, and the higher intelligence of your body...

It is NOT consciousness....and the mind is NOT you...

when one sits in stillness one can see it clinging, projecting, and creating stories that don't even exist yet...

The Heart feels and absorbs...

the spirit activates and mobilizes...

the mind creates and distracts...

Do not be fooled by the difference

 Cutting Through Delusion / The Blade of Clarity:

Do Not be fooled. There is NO one magic formula or secret.  

Right Mind, Right Attitude, and Right Effort are the essentials.  

Self-respect contains Self Discipline and action is the change agent.  

Do not avoid these truths.             

Consistent effort and Clarity develop focus and keep the mind steady.

That is the alchemical engine....

Then...Working consistently from the Heart and treating all beings with respect and love is the whole package.

Don't overthink everything, stay steady, and don't expect the unreasonable....                                                   Your happiness does NOT live in self-criticism
