Fooled by the mind

We are so easily fooled by our own thoughts.

Tricked into seeing reality in a warped up way.

Tricked into believing false things.

Tricked into all kinds of false thoughts.

Believing these thoughts.

Ceaselessly obscuring the underlying reality.

Oh, the craziness.

And the suffering.

It is likely that everything you believe, think and imagine is false.

How then does one discern truth?

Foolishness

It is the height of foolishness to exchange the peace of God for the troubles of the world.

Recognize the underlying peace of God. And having recognized, cease exchanging it for the troubles of the world.

Emotional healing

We mainly suffer in life when we are unable to manage dealing with our emotions.

Emotional discomfort can soon turn into emotional pain and suffering, especially if suppressed for long.

Hence learning to deal with emotions is probably the most important life skill.

Emotional healing begins with acceptance and allowing yourself to feel your emotions without suppression.

Dealing with emotions

Our core issues in life are generally emotional issues.

The problem is almost always in our emotional response to a certain life situation.

Emotion drives us.

Anxiety, loneliness, depression, malice, hatred, disgust, guilt, shame and so on are some of the emotional drivers.

And healing generally involves emotional clearing. 

To allow the emotions to pass through.

We feel better once the emotion is allowed to pass through.

So, the central issue of our lives is generally learning to deal with emotions.

And it actually takes years, even decades to get comfortable with this process.

Aligning to truth

The only thing that is needed to align to truth is intention.

Simply the intention to align to truth is all that it takes.

This simple intention is the seed to overcome lifetimes of accumulated psychological suffering.

But it takes time. Years, decades even. 

So be patient.

The call of God

The call of God is silent but absolute. 

The call of the world is loud and intrusive but ultimately powerless.

When God calls, the world cannot influence.

Coming out of hell

 All you need to get out of hell is the tiniest sliver of earnest intention.

When you feel stuck

When you feel stuck in life,

Do not forget to look at the big picture.

Embrace the larger perspective.

All is Well.

No matter what.

Ultimately, its all one.

The will of Life comes to pass.

So, don,t worry.
