What’s on my mind today? Is my Soul truly free? If it was truly free what’s on my mind today would be irrelevant because the mind would not be in the way of experiencing peace and joy in this moment.
The mind’s only concern is thinking about what I should do or what I have to do or what I forgot to do. Who upset me last night or today? How can I make more money? Do I feel sexual? What’s for dinner tonight? What movie should I see this weekend?
While peace and joy in the moment is being aware of what’s happening to my senses in this moment. What do I see? What am I am listening to? What am I touching? What are the tastes in my mouth? What do I smell? Am I feeling joyful? Do I feel peaceful? If I am not feeling joyful what can I do to create joy? If I feel peaceful how long can I remain peaceful?
The answer is found in our ability to control our mind. The Soul enters the body as peace and joy! This lesson can be learned from watching a new baby who is beginning to focus outward. As the mind develops and the senses become engaged in the outside world, the Soul is submerged into darkness and spends a life time trying to find the light, its peace and joy. The Soul knows its true self.
The material world of illusions and fantasies are the Soul’s greatest challenge to rediscovering itself. Hatred, anger, fear, greed, jealousy, and revenge are about mind stuff and darkness. It’s an abyss! The constant brainwashing of our mind by our media to consume and to experience mind stuff is brutal and devastating. The struggle to survive in the world of duality takes it toll.
The first step to being a recovering human is to become aware of this fact and start to get control of your mind. Learn to live in the moment now! Peace is possible every moment of the day and joy will surely follow. When you learn how to control your mind you will no longer sweat the small stuff, and you will realize it’s all small stuff. Peace.
