Heaven in Thought: Alan Watts

"Instead of looking and listening, light and sound come to you on their own. Eyes see and ears hear as wind blows and water flows."

- Alan Watts

Heaven in Thought: Dalai Lama

"When we see objects existing in and of themselves, rather then being dependent on many circumstances, as they truly are, exaggeration sets in: If the object seems favorable, we become attached to it, thinking, 'This is really wonderful.' Once desire increases, anger will arise against whoever or whatever might interfere with our enjoyment. The problem is that both lust and hatred are based on bias, which makes true compassion impossible."

- Dalai Lama, How to Be Compassionate, p. 35

Everything, including yourself, is dependent on many circumstances. You do not exist in and of yourself. You are the result of many factors and circumstances surrounding you. This must be acknowledged so that you can be aware of personal bias which is a twisted perspective and not the actual reality. "It is as it is." - The Law of Psychegnosis

RECHARGE Your Awareness:

How can you be your past and how can you be your future when you are right HERE?

Everything is right here, right now with you. This is very simple but the mind complicates it: as in all your brain information and your physical body and your DNA and your emotions (inherited from our ancestors including what we add on top of that, therefore we are not at fault for what we inherit and also what we add to it but we are responsible, as in, we must respond) and the puppeteer along with your emotional seeds (seed afflictions are described in the 3-part series on the Puppeteer). This statement cannot be truly understood by using the mind, one must be truly present to understand the actual meaning. 'It is as it is'; and in that is the meaning. But most times we (the puppeteer) mistakenly attach the meaning to our experiences and this creates an illusion due to our twisted perspective and not actual reality, trapping us inside the mind/puppeteer. If, for example, a memory comes up, the ego mistakenly attaches its own meaning to that memory which you then believe to be true but it is not the actual meaning because it is bias. Our intuition and conscience is the only faculties that should absorb the meaning in what 'is' AS something happens. Therefore our intuition and conscience are the only real guide and guard. But this can only happen right HERE. The ego/puppeteer/mind is full of urges that try to have you think and act too quickly and that is why we need to strengthen Patience. We need Patience at all times in order to 'read' and 'hear' and 'see' the signs of our Intuition and Conscience. So before one can utilize and strengthen personal intuition and conscience, one must first acquire Patience. The puppeteer is at all times impatient and talking alot. We need to learn how to be human and stop the addiction to thinking to reach a kind of stillness, because thinking takes us everywhere but right here, therefore we need to Slow Down.
