Crazy thoughts when trying to find Silence? It’s easy to deceive, Part 3

Featured by Science of Being, posted in Mindfulness, Practices, shaping your reality

Most of us can relate to feeling assaulted by crazy thoughts especially when we are on a conscious spiritual journey, trying to observe and know ourselves. It is so contrary to being in Presence, living in the present moment with silent alertness.

As an observer we can be very affected by what we bring with us, like expectations, interest, familiarity, and beliefs discussed in Part 1 and Part 2. And our perceptions as a witness can also become defective because of other factors. Yet we can rise above them.

Drama

Our emotions affect our perceptions. Being in lower levels of consciousness with fear related emotions makes observations unrealistic and untrustworthy.

If we are stressed out and fearful then our inner observations can be very swayed and even perverted. Guilt can lead to self-ridicule, anger to lying, arrogance to domination. Plus, these emotions can circle around unconsciously and surface as irresponsible choices.

The ego feeds on drama! And this is why in self-observation we quiet the thinking mind, the hurt, the sorrow, the resentment, and come into the present moment, entering the Silence.

We can feel the Presence of something greater than ourselves as we make the Mental Contact. In this state you become an unattached observer, and can courageously observe the good, the bad and the ugly without attachment to emotions like self-pity, regret or despair. You can observe that fearful temptations are just temporary, illusionary and irresponsible choices.

When you make the Mental Contact, you are in Authentic Power and guided to make responsible choices that are rooted in Love, helping you deliberately choose uplifting thoughts and emotions like Optimism, Transcendence and Gratitude. You can observe that these are your natural state which benefit yourself and everyone.

Physical Conditions

Most of us know that if we are tired, sick or short of breath it can affect our perceptions. Things become blurred, out of focus and even seem impossible to give attention to.

That’s when it’s critical to relax. Pause, take a deep breath and you will automatically begin to relax when you allow yourself to. It may take a few minutes, but the body will respond dispersing beneficial hormones.

Remember that wellbeing is natural for you. Relax and allow communication between your body and Source, making the contact with Source Energy, Universal Life Energy. Willingly open yourself. Feel It and Trust It.

Contrary to the way the ego sees it, any discomfort points to where we should give attention to. Physical discomfort points to emotional discomfort. Allow yourself to observe discomforts and temptations in an unattached state of silence.

We don’t necessarily need to know the cause of disquieting thoughts and emotions. That desire to know is a push from the ego. We are creatures of habitual thoughts, attitudes, behaviors and we resist living in the present moment …… in Presence.

Empower yourself by making a decision to focus on the Light of Source Energy in the present moment. Purposefully reach for higher levels of consciousness and emotions like acceptance, tenderness and compassion. This opens us to more Life Energy for healing, growth, Inner Joy and Peace.

And remember it can take some time for the billions of cells in your body to align with your natural wellbeing.

It’s easy to deceive: even for those of us on a conscious spiritual journey, Part 1

As recorded Aristotle once said: “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.”

But self observation can be very tricky. We can observe ourselves believing we are revealing facts about ourselves, all the while being narcissist and emotionally involved. And our perceptions become flawed, having been influenced by subjective perceptions.

Observation in an unattached state is critical for knowing ourselves, yet we should be aware that perception is very much affected by many different messages in our patterns of thinking. And we should be conscious of these possibilities in order to avoid them.

You see what you expect to see

We are generally creatures of habit. And we believe in the human perception of the Law of Cause and Effect ….. a particular cause results in particular effect.

Thus, if we expect to feel a certain way as a result of meeting a particular person, then we usually do feel as expected. When we believe we will stumble like we always do, then we do. If we expect to catch a cold when we are near someone with a cold and they sneeze spraying us, then we usually do.

The subconscious ego can be very convincing; it deceives us. What we believe tends to manifest. And what we except to experience we usually do.

To avoid holding on to beliefs about our observations, come to the moment within yourself fully and accept what is without prejudice to clear preconceptions. And if you are tempted to believe a habitual thought yet are conscious then put it in a mental trashcan, letting it go! Make the contact with Universal Life Energy and bask in the Light feeling grateful for such alertness and ability of action. This helps to become conscious and alert.

Interest & Intent can enhance or inhibit

When we have a sincere intent to be conscious and alert we are adding emotional energy to the intent. Sincerity opens doors for us to feel and recognize higher frequencies because of the Law of Attraction. Sincerity from our heart opens us to Love….. to feel and know Love within ourselves and the Unconditional Love of Source.

However, when we are just playing at being aware, we can be so focused on something that we are greatly interested in that we miss completely what is going on in the perimeter.

If most of us remain ignorant of ourselves, it is because self-knowledge is painful and we prefer the pleasures of illusion.

Aldous Huxley

For example, one can become so enamored with someone’s beauty or challenges that we ignore thoughts and feelings within ourselves. Or we can get lost in our busyness …… doing what is expected of us and demands of our attention without realizing we’ve allowed ourselves to become stressed out, angry or resentful.

Busyness is one of the biggest egotistic challenges of our human life. We got expectations of family, work and social tribes. The ego likes the drama and we get lost in it!

When you become conscious of getting too busy with stuff …… remember you can pause, take some deep breathes to relax the body and reengerize it, then relax your thinking. Allow yourself to enter Silence and feel Universal Life Energy flow through you in the Now. This will help bring you to the moment as it is, clearing your thoughts and emotions.

Planning and organization are tools for our human life that are planned and organized in the present moment. Let the rest of it unfold naturally, staying in the present moment, alert and conscious without relying on the human will to bend things as we planned. You can enjoy the unexpected so to speak as it happens ….. it’s all new.

Generally we see what we expect to see, hear what we expect to hear, and feel what we expect to feel. And when we do observe something within that is unfamiliar then we relate it to something that we have experienced in the past, obscuring the observation of the present moment. More to come…..

Too much drama in your life? The human mind will not help, but this will.

When I was a little child I experienced a lot of chaos and a lot of heart ache that I carried with me for many, many years into adulthood. I came to feel that drama and heartache was a living standard. It wasn’t until later in my life that I became aware of the importance I placed on stories I told myself and that I identified with. 

The stories we tell ourselves that are the hardest to let go are those with the most drama. Which we use to create more stories about ourselves and that we identify with.

The more importance you place on drama and the story of it, the more the subconscious ego imprisons you in a fixed self-identity. The less you’re able to freely experience unbound possibilities in the universe and your own innate Light.

So how can we step outside of the human ego’s drama story telling? 

We should allow ourselves to grow into the moment. Observe in a detached, yet involved state without all the thinking the ego circles in. That still, small voice you find in Silence will help you observe the way your personal mind works without harsh judgments.

 You can attain a clarity of mind in silence that can guide you in your choice of actions. While at the same time you are able to observe the subconscious ego’s desire to circle in what it is familiar with. With conditioned habits and behaviors.

The more you pause and become silent the freer you will be able to move into the moment. The more you become aware of things you hadn’t been conscious of before. 

Amazing things can happen that some would overlook or miss completely. Butterflies can fly by even when you’re at sea! Dolphins jump and the waves reflect your heart’s deepest longings.

The more you become silent and observe, the more drama leaves you. Not the memory of an event, rather the emotional drama the ego tells stories about. You can gain some perspective and understanding the lesson that life presented.  

In a state of detached state you are free to observe life constantly changing, yet remains steadfast. And backed up by a realm Unchangeable. Unknown. 

Contacting Universal Life Energy is a backup Force which can help you attain emotional and mental clarity. This is especially helpful just before sleep when the ego tends to review the day and create stories about it.

Instead of creating stories, mentally realize, “I feel Universal Life Energy flowing through me now.” You are aligning with the Light that you are and the Great Unknown.

 Your Heart slowly awakens from it’s imprisoned walls and becomes free to openly experience unbound love and compassion, gratitude, caring and sincerity.

The bravest thing you can do is to focus on your own Inner Love. When your focus mind in that sacred chamber of your Heart you become a spiritual warrior and express unconditional Love in your life. 

And this creates more opportunities for your happiness and unfoldment. 

If you’ve already experienced this, have you also experienced synchronicities to enjoy and expand your gratitude? 

In the hope that when chaos does come into your life that you will remember to come to a state of silent observation and free yourself of the ego’s crippling drama and stories. And that you step out of the ego into the realm of Being and unlimited possibilities, PortiaSLB
