No mind: Your true nature.

 


    There is this term that has been adopted. This term is "mindfulness". It is a misleading term as it assumes that if a person is present, their mind is full. This is not true. When there is presence and present moment thinking, the mind is empty and awareness is above the lower level of incessant thinking. 

Thinking continuously is a disease. The most common disease on the planet. Endless thinking that never seems to end.

In January 2024 I experienced a being in the present moment for about 13 hours or so. Any thoughts that were alive were very quiet and were that of curiosity and I was immersed in presence and being. 

My nervous system was completely relaxed, which I had never experienced in my life up to that point, perhaps aside from intense meditation. This being immersed in presence happened after a conversation about the nature of love with a buddy of mine. I asked him if he would mind if we both stopped talking for about a minute and I fell into the presence that I AM. It is my true nature - connected with all that is, out of time. Time is an illusion andyways. If we are in the present moment there is no time.

Most of this 13 hours was an experience of no thinking, though sometimes soft thoughts of curiosity would arise such as, "Why do they smile at me so much?" "That baby is so cute." and "The talking in this place has reduced in volume."

Byron Katie has said, "There is no belief that is true." This world of agreement that we appear to live in, is the sum total of our beliefs. Our beliefs are trhe filter through which we perceive life. Life could be considered synonymous with thinking. However real life happens without thinking. Our heart beats without our effort. Our lungs breathe without our effort. Our being/spirit/true essence exists without any effort. And is wholly valuable, despite what we do or do not do.

In stillness you will know who/what you really are. How do you get to stillness? How might you get to stillness?

There is no such thing as "strangers". We are alike, more than unalike as an organic whole.

Embracing Our Shared Humanity Imagine the world as a massive, interconnected organic machine , and each of us is a vital piece making it run smoothly . From a spiritual standpoint, our similarities are the gears that keep this engine of humanity roaring .

You've got this brothers. The struggle is real. Reach out to other men.

  Top Left: Justin, Top Right: Daniel, Bottom right: Dustin, Bottom left: Tony (my brother) They all died in 2020 (not to the psyop flu, but due to mental health related reasons and most of them suicide). If you are low, you are struggling, you need help, reach out , please. If you need to cry, then cry - so what if you feel weak if you do. Talk with other men - talk with someone you trust - I would generally recommend talking to other men - however if there is a woman you trust, talk with her. Women generally can only offer sympathy. They cannot empathize with the male experience. However talking with ANYONE can help. You matter. You have an amazing life ahead. The worst kind of pain is in your head. The worst realities are in your head. Reality is actually better than the terible stories that can exist in your thinking.
