Keeping sane during the fire and fury.

How do we keep sane in the midst of war, famine, flood, chaos, and fear? It’s very simple – go back to our true nature and embrace the silent stillness within. Know this, our true Self is closer than our next breath and closer than our own hearts. Our very essence is the only constant in the universe. You may be thinking, “Well what good is all that going to do me? I still have to live in the real world don’t I?” It seems so darn real doesn’t it? But it was designed with one very fatal flaw. No matter how much we have in the material world, it never seems like enough does it? No matter how much we have accomplished or collected, it will never give us all that we need. Even those that seemingly have it all still feel a void and a lack that they cannot explain. That lack is our inner being telling us something. It’s saying very quietly, “Look within.” and when we do look within we find a depth and vastness we could never have imagined. I invite you to look within right now and experience your true nature. What are you waiting for?

Keeping sane during the fire and fury.

Is it normal to feel sadness when embarking on this path?

The ego mind uses diversionary tactics to take our attention away from our natural state of being, which is peaceful, calm and relaxed. It uses emotions, thoughts and feelings to distract us and gain our attention. Once such emotion is sadness our mourning. When sadness arises we want to fall into it and feel depressed. But when we look closely we can see that we have only followed a train of thoughts that tells us to feel bad about ourselves our or situation. What happens when we stop following the train of thoughts? We can experience peace, our natural state and that natural state needs no acceptance or understanding from the ego mind. We only need to put our attention on the silent space in between thoughts to experience it first hand. The more we embrace our inner silence the more we shake the hold that the ego has on us and the less likely we are to follow thoughts that lead to sorrow. This topic is covered in depth in the new podcast titled” Is it normal to feel sadness?”
