"I often get emails from people saying  
'My mind is too busy,
my ego is too strong 
to meditate and find peace'  

But such a statement
is only an idea,
it has no validity
beyond what you choose to give it.  

The mind will always tell you
why you cannot meditate,
why you cannot be free of it.  

The mind will always choose
to stay in control,
to stay in power,
it does not want you to be aware
because awareness is it's undoing.  

The mind will either play the trick
of stating that you are unworthy
or that you know it all and attained it all
and you do not need to be present.  

There really is no difference
between arrogance and insecurity.
They both are means
for the ego to maintain it's power.  

It is through perseverance
in awareness
that you break through this trap.  

Because the mind is
not going to be of help to you.   

It is those
that are humble enough
and courageous enough
to persevere day after day
in meditation
practicing awareness
that break through mind identification
and find freedom.  

For them it is not about
attaining some title or pleasure.  

Eventually it is the awareness itself
that becomes the reward.  

The delight in being free
of the identification with the mind.

The delight in enjoying
that which cannot be comprehended
in words or definitions,
in philosophical teachings,
understanding
or attainments.  

It all comes down
to be present here and now.

Because thinking about exercising
is not going to make you fit.  

Blessings,    


Kip"

"If you look
at your problems logically,
you will see that the past
is not your problem.
 
Whatever hurtful things happened
to you a minute ago,
a year ago,
a decade ago,
are no longer here.
 
But what happens
is the mind replays
the situation
over and over.
 
And you end up chewing on it,
being totally involved
and identified with it
without ever even
being conscious of it.
 
All of these incidents build up
& get replayed over and over
and it becomes your identity,
the program that determines
your experience.
 
By witnessing your thoughts,
and letting them go as they arise,
the thoughts still may come,
but they no longer
determine your experience.
They no longer
have any power over you.
 
If you are not
identifying with the thoughts,
then the whole thought process
loses it's power over you.
 
Everything slows down,
conflict dissipates,
and your identity as your past
falls away.
 
The memories can still be accessed,
but they no longer define who you
are in this moment.
 
 
Blessings,

"Life, existence,
is happening all by itself
in this moment.  

It is a flow of energy.  

Stress arises
because you try
and control this moment.  
You resist this moment.  

And the greatest way
you resist this moment
is through the identification
with thinking.  

Thinking is always
about the past or the future.

By being involved
with the thoughts,
you avoid
the present moment all together.  
You avoid life itself.  

You live in a mental world
that only exists in thought.

It is a dream world
and it is a completely different reality
to life in this moment.  

If you let go of control
through the acceptance and awareness
of what is
in this moment,

suddenly the mental world
with all of it's conflicts and desires
stops being real,
and you experience life itself.  

There may be fear
because the 'you'
as the controller
does not exist outside
of this mental world.  

But when you realize
this 'you' as the controller
is the source of all stress,
you become willing to give it up.  

Then you truly feel alive,
as life itself,
nourished
in the eternal radiance
of unconditional peace.  

Nothing dies
in this process.

Rather it is an awakening
to true living.  

You discover
what you truly are.    

Blessings,


Kip"

"The mind maintains
it's existence
through anticipation.  

It's program
is to always entice you
with some future fulfillment.  

That once you reach
a certain understanding,
attain a certain goal,
quench a certain desire,
then you will be happy.  

The problem is
that there is no end
to understanding,
no end to desire,
no end to attainment.

It is not like the movies
where the conflict
comes to a climax
and everyone lives
happily ever after.  

Anticipation itself
exists for it's own survival.  

Conflict, desire, understanding,
exists for it's own survival.  

But if you can take a step back
and see this tendency
and acknowledge
that there is no end to anticipation,
then suddenly this whole reality
based on some future happening
collapses,
and you are left
in this moment.  

You are alive
for the first time,
instead of resisting
life for some future fantasy.  

You are alive
in the full acceptance of life
as it is in this moment.  

This addiction to seeking ceases
and there is unconditional peace.

You see everything is taken care of.
That you are held and nurtured
by life itself.

Blessings,


Kip"
