This Week's Reflection

 

You are the creator of your experience of everything, whether you like it or not!

 

Using your mind in normal mode, you actually experience nothing - you think that you experience what you think about what you think is going on or, should I say, who you think you are does all the thinking. It's not living, it's not even a version of it but it's "reality" for so many.

 

People - normal crazy people - will bemoan the things that have befallen them, will take refuge in being a victim, will excuse themselves when their "best" wasn't good enough and will blame anyone and everyone for their lot in life whilst, at the same time, being totally oblivious to the fact that, whatever happens in life, happens for us when we've taken responsibility for our own state of mind.

 

Two big words stand out from that last paragraph - blame and responsibility. We're not, never were and never will be talking about blame - blame is something attributable to the past or our conceptual self (or both) and, therefore, has no place in the here and now.

 

We are, however, talking - and always have been talking - about responsibility. You are responsible for the state of your life because the state of your life is a mirror image of the state of your mind. What's going on inside creates what you think is going on outside and, as a result, what is actually going on outside.

 

There's nothing good nor bad but thinking makes it so.

 

So, we'd all better stop thinking. We're at our best when we're not thinking. You can't get up one morning and decide "I'm not going to think anymore", you've got to experience what life without thought feels like and, once you've got the feeling, let that feeling grow on you.

 

Meditate, Meditate, Meditate.
