The Story of Your Life Is Not What You Think It is
It’s difficult for the mind to consider there is a transcendent consciousness, something else out there. The physical senses are incapable of detecting the essence of much of anything. In other words, we don’t really see. What we see is really just stuff and stuff moving around. The senses are but instruments…to catch what you can from a transient existence. But this gets pretty exciting and amazing, so, let’s take a closer look.
Here at TruthSpring, we teach that the content of your mind, all of your beliefs are literally fictitious. And because it’s fictitious, it always results in a sense of meaninglessness, a sense of emptiness. It’s stuff you made up from observing all of the stuff moving around through all of the years. But it’s not real. Now, here, there’s a real problem. If it’s not real, then it doesn’t exist. If it doesn’t exist, then you can’t solve it. No matter how much you try to solve your particular issues, you can’t because they’re not real.
Said a different way, you can’t solve the problem because you don’t know what the problem is. Nonetheless, I’m the first one in favor of examining your mental, physical and emotional patterns but you won’t find truth. Make as many positive changes as you can. But truth is going to come from somewhere else.
The senses create a fictitious version not only of yourself but of the world. It’s a story that does not exist. But it may be the only story the individual knows. Because we do not understand the meaning of our existence, we do not understand the events of our life. Because we do not understand the events of our life, we do not know to respond to the events of our life. We are endlessly confronted the meaninglessness and purposelessness of our daily lives.
Addiction is not the problem. Meaninglessness is the problem. Depression is not the problem. Meaninglessness is the problem. Loneliness is not the problem. Meaninglessness is the problem.
The story that you think is the story of your life is not the story. Your story is not about your past. The true story is the story of your awakening. But until your existence thing is perceived correctly, you cannot exist appropriately.
So, as your mind is, so will your future be. All of the content in your mind has nothing to do with your existence but with your survival. Thus we come to witness, and times with amazement, a perfect correlation between our interstate and the outer conditions that befall us, as if life were no longer unfolding from outside in the from the inside out, the inward molding the outward, to the most trivial circumstances; though in fact nothing is trivial anymore, and everyday life appears as a network field with signs waiting to be recognized.
Your life, in order to be satisfying, must move from the physical to the metaphysical, from the outer world of being an individual seeking daily survival to the inner being of the invisible. And not only conscious of IT, but conscious in it. Said, differently you are not separated from God…no matter what. And yes, that includes Hitler.
Aspiring is not enough. Being motivated is not enough. Embracing the entire universe and all that dwells in it . That means learning not only to see but to understand and embrace all events in your life, joyful and tragic, as part of the unfolding of your life.
We praise God when everything is going well, we condemn life when it doesn’t, forever separating the real from the unreal, truth from self-oblivion.
So, if your story is not your story, then there is wonderful news! You are not who you think you are! And now, another story can begin. You’re going to have to figure out how to disrupt and dislodge your past and create a framework for the truth to be not just known but experienced. As we say, there is truth to live and work to do. The rest of your life can begin. The meaningless will begin to melt away. But that’s going to require some changes.
Each of us invests in different realities, realities of our own making. The worlds beyond exist…they have their own laws, their own just and luminous truths and their own Will. The individual lives at the mercy of God, so to speak. The individual lives by That but That does not live by the world. The existence of consciousness doesn’t depend on your recognition or realization of it. So, because the quality of your life is dependent upon learning the truth of this world even while understanding that the truth of this world is not dependent upon your being here, you might be interested in changing your mind.
In fact, anyone who has experienced even a sliver of this other world states that that reality is more real than this one…I am one of those people…in that world…no duality, no division, unified consciousness, all there is is love. And I’m going to trade that for my own personal insanity? From the beginning of time. All philosophies and religions are joined in the common thread that your kingdom of heaven is not here but elsewhere. And most people would enthusiastically trade their here for somewhere else.
There has always been a voice of suffering as a way of life, that this is how life is, of moving toward the spiritual but withdrawing from the world…leave the body, go to heaven. You may practice duality…of heaven and hell…but consciousness does not. But there’s always been the notion of this and that.
But consciousness unifies both, good and bad, black and white, suffering and joy, for everything is consciousness and is unified and in that movement, reality is restored for both cannot be real.
Truth does not fluctuate like we do.
Truth is not inconsistent like we are.
Truth is not confused like we are.
Everyone seeks a greater life, a greater and greater affirmation of their being but at the same time utilizing the vain repetition of mental, physical and emotional patterns to achieve it. So, I’ll say it again. The story you think your life is about…which is the past…is not the story of your life.
Said differently, the story is not about the crucifixion but the resurrection. The story is not about the struggle but the liberation. The story of our times that we are living through today in 2020 will not be about the ignorance, stupidity and waste but about the grandeur that was born out of it.
So, its’ time to write a new story, the story of your awakening and that is what our work is all about.
