The world is collapsing… imploding. Our greed has us pinned against the wall.

• Economic collapse
• Environmental collapse
• Moral collapse

Greed driven by mental chatter. Suffering.
We create our disease and try to cure it with more of the same disease.
Seeking things is driven by our internal mental chatter.

Mindfulness is our only cure. The cure is already in all of us.
Seeking. Seeking. Seeking nothing, but finding pain.

Can you feel it within you?
Its there. Waiting for you to see it.

The end of suffering.

Just listen. Listen to your chatter.

There’s another you in you. Not really YOU, but what you see as you.
You aren’t you really. You are we.

The chatter is constant. Stop and listen to your thoughts.

Just listen.

Don’t judge. listen.

Its liberating to find out what you thought was you… isn’t.
The identity you hold too is a sheet of glass. See through it.

The moment you see it is the moment everything starts to get better.

Starts… No instant cure.

That babbling bum in the street is no different from you. His chatter is just audible, more anti-social.

As I write this my chatter says “publish a book”, “be respected and well regarded by others”.
It makes me chuckle.
Our chatter wants us to be liked or hated. It wants us to be an object. Recognized as ME.

Can you see it now? Listen.
For 30 seconds see and hear your thoughts…

Watch them parade in front of you. It’s amazing when you see it.

Right now they own you. but they need not. It need not.

Just listen. For now.

Just see.

Its no secret that I am an avid follower of politics and am a very biased Democrat in terms of my political leanings. The more I practice, though, the more I find myself chilling out the fierceness in my points of view. That is not to say that I do not still get angry or scared or just emotional about politics, but I am realizing more and more the true import of my views versus reality. Its easier to see, I guess.

As I interact with those with whom I would previously have been angrily conversing, I realize that they live in an entirely different reality than that in which I live. When I hear them put forth a point of view, I am amazed and almost fearful that they can see things the way they do and that they don’t naturally see things the way I do through my lenses. It’s a simple intelligent analysis after all. How could they think anything else?

The more I see my attitudes and opinions for what they are – the ego grasping at straws for relevance – the more I can see the insanity of our existence, belief systems, and delusional behavior. Certainly I am not rid of my own, but I can see mine now whereas before I would plunge my existence into hateful rhetoric.

What becomes crystal clear is the amazing power of the ego to transcend our true reality.
