Re: Random T**ugh,s
^^ is that a random thought? lol
I read this today...........
"The mind is always seeking stimulation. We stimulate ourselves at the grosser levels with things like drugs, porn, junk food, violence; all the things that create instant stimulation but then leave us feeling unhappy afterwards.
We stimulate ourselves through emotional drama, through worry, through fear, through arrogance.
Even being involved with our thoughts is a form of stimulation. All of these things and many more excite our ego mind. We taste a brief joy that makes us feel good and it also distracts us from the mundane nothingness of this moment.
The problem comes that we have stimulated ourselves to the point where we are unable to experience what we are beyond the gross level of experience to the point where most of humanity
denies real spirituality even exists. And even if they do, it is only in belief. And a thought of a pink elephant does not make a pink elephant real.
But when we are able to be free of all of the stimulation & distractions, we start to become still enough & clear enough to feel what we truly are. We begin to feel the wondrous unconditional peace & bliss that is life itself.
But in order to do so, we have to be willing to be present in this regular mundane moment of nothing; without stimulation. We have to be willing to feel this moment completely. You move through a particular state of insanity in order to do this. Everything you are avoiding will come up. The mental, the emotional, the physical will all come to the surface.
And when that is done, you still come face to face with your own mundane nothingness and have to feel that too. (Before the nothingness reveals itself to be fulfillment itself.) There is no getting around that. It is one reason divine energy is so important.
Because it could be said to be a stimulation, but it is the stimulation of bliss that you are at your essence. It is not putting something on top of this moment to distract you. It is awakening you to what is here at the core.
And if you taste the bliss of this moment then you are willing to go through a little insanity to have more of it."
