Way to peace

The simple fact is that reality exists irrespective of your notions/desires/wishes/beliefs prejudices/miseries.

Surrender to the already existing reality. This is the way to peace.

We may never understand reality. But reality exists. There can be no doubt about this.

Surrender to the doubtless reality.

This is the simplest and surest way to peace.

In fact, there is no other choice. Reality wins always. It is impossible to go against reality.

The degree to which you are opposed to reality is the degree to which you suffer.

The more opposed you are to reality, the more you suffer.

The simple truth

Its really very simple.

Sensory experience indicates that you are a separate entity, distinct from the surrounding environment.

The fact is that you are not separate from the environment.

So, your experience as an entity separate from the environment is like an illusion.

The fact is that there is no actual separation.

However, knowing the fact does not change the experience of being separate. You are simply aware of the fact that your experience as a separate entity is not quite the way it actually is.

This is all there is really.

Since you are not actually separate from the environment, there is really nothing left for you to do or attain.

All is always well.

All is One.

Most valuable treasure

The most valuable thing is mental sanity.

If you can move through life with perfect mental sanity, that alone is enough.

If you lose your mental sanity, nothing else matters.

Hence, be grateful that you are mentally sane.

Sanity comes from wholeness. Recognize the wholeness of life and that you are not separate from this and sanity will be yours.

To be stuck in the unquestioned belief in separation can cost you your sanity.

The insane is one who is unable to recognize his own insanity.

The one who recognizes his own insanity has started his journey into sanity.

Sanity begins with the recognition of insanity.

Sanity above wealth.

Sanity above job.

Sanity above relationship.

Sanity above status.

Sanity lies in the recognition of wholeness and letting go of obsessive grasping.

Stuck in a negative thought loop

Mostly we are troubled by our own thoughts and responses to situations. In order to lead a sane life, below are some tips:

1. Don't believe your thoughts. Most thoughts are lies.

2. Remind yourself of something to be grateful for.

3. Realize that you re not perfect and will make mistakes.

4. Learn to let go and allow life to play out.

5. Just be as you are.

Sometimes, we get so caught up in our thinking/imagining that we fail to see that we are caught up in our own thought loop.

Hence it is good to have a practice of constantly checking in with the physical sensation of being.

And remind yourself that all things will work out and you will be fine.

The root cognitive dissonance

The key cognitive dissonance that lies at the heart of the human condition is the belief/sense of being separate from the environment. The sense of being a separate entity apart and distinct from the surroundings is the root cognitive error. 

Unfortunately, there is nothing that can be done about it other than keep reminding ourselves of our basic/root cognitive dissonance. To be aware at all times that our perception is flawed. Since our perception is relativistic.

To be conscious of this root error is all that is possible. Existence is non-relativistic. Existence is absolute. Existence is non-dual. But our perception is dual and relativistic. This is the holy miracle. That dualistic perception itself arises from the non dual reality.

On Existence

It is one single principle that holds everything together. A single principal that is actual.

And that is that non-existence cannot exist. Existence must exist. Existence is not optional.

It is the impossibility of nonexistence that allows existence to exist. 

Existence is absolute. There is no opposite to existence. Non existence is non-existent.

Existence is another word for the ceaseless processes that are ever occurring and interplaying.

Existence is activity. Existence is movement. Existence is the ceaselessly occurring processes that cannot be extinguished.

It is impossible for absolute stillness to exist. It is unallowable. Absolute stillness is identical with non-existence and is therefore impossible. 

Existence exists as the ceaselessly unfolding un-extinguishable processes that mutually and dynamically interact to generate all phenomena. It is impossible for phenomena to end. It can only be transformed.

Going too far into any extreme immediately generates the opposite process. There seem to be two forces at play. One is a concentrating force and the other is a diffusing force. Going too far into concentration creates the tension that results in the activation of diffusion. Going too far into diffusion creates the tension that activates concentration and this continues indefinitely without stoppage.

Existence is the ceaseless interplay between forces that keep generating all the phenomena that are seen.

And all is possible simply due to the impossibility of non-existence.

The impossibility of nonexistence results in the absolute inseparability of eternally occurring existence.

Get rid of worries and anxieties

The reason for anxieties and miseries is due to erroneous perception.

Errors in perception result in anxieties and worries.

To get rid of worries and anxieties, errors in perception have to be removed.

Dualistic perception is the root perceptual error.

Realize that reality is nondual.

There is no separation.

Correct the error of dualistic perception.

Once corrected, be free of miseries and worries.

This is the supreme wisdom.

The only grace required.

The chief gratitude.

All is One.
