Your thoughts are inevitable. 

They are determined by the circumstance you find yourself in and the biological and psychological make-up of your body and mind at the time.

The particulars of a circumstance you find yourself in, are never in your control. 

Your body and mind make-up is inevitable and determined by the genetics you have and your up-to-date conditioning at the time, both of which are factors out of your control. 

Your genetics are obviously outside your control and your up-to-date conditioning was imposed on you by life as it unfolds moment after moment. 

Your thoughts in each moment are inevitable and determined by circumstance, genes and up-to-date conditioning, all of which come before the thought. 

Your thoughts are inevitable and predetermined.

This is not just interesting information but essentially necessary information if life is to be lived with equanimity and peace of mind. 

That's why it's shared. 

Peace for now.

Thy Will be done.

It is the very 'Awareness' that is registering the letters on this page that mystics have been tirelessly pointing at for millennia
- THAT'S HOW CLOSE IT IS - right here, right now, it is never absent. It is that simple.

It is this very Awareness that is described as overlooked or obscured, unaware of itself. And yet, here it is, so close, ever present.

It does not require any thinking to register objects. Nonetheless, it is thought which takes centre stage for a while, and because of its unrelenting 'solo performances' appears to be that which is doing the registering of all objects. 

It is the loud and persistent nature of thought which for a while obscures the real hero. Only for as long though as it takes to dawn, that Awareness exists even without thought, and then, the real protagonist is recognised. 

The function of Awareness exists even without thought.

Just stop, and BE.

Question all your beliefs, none of them are true.

This is the foundational premise of mystical wisdom. This is the unlocked door you are standing at, the open secret. 

When this house of cards falls, you find yourself remaining, untouched, in your pristine beauty.

Thoughts and thinking by its nature can never be absolute.

Remember to take regular breaks from your expectations, and notice that whenever you do, life doesn't need to change as much as you thought. 

Next time someone knocks a glass of wine over or you drop your phone in the toilet, remind yourself "these things happen!", and maybe, even grin.

It may just become your new mantra. 

...it's not as important as you think.

Pain is circumstantial, suffering on the other hand is always only ever attitudinal.

If this distinction is not realised there is little hope of escaping the prison of Samsara. If it is understood deeply then the prison walls dissolve revealing the priceless real estate on which it was built.

The 'doer' identity is obsessed with winning and being right. The ingrained belief tells us that winning will make "me" more complete and ultimately is my happiness. 

Whereas in practice we will feel for ourselves that this mentality feels uncomfortable and is the very opposite of our happiness. It doesn't allow us to relax and let life flow, and is a wrong idea about who we are. 

With this in place we are forced to live life relating to the other as a competitor, rival or enemy, we will always feel an underlying suspicion and be fearful.

Our completeness is not to be found in outcomes, it already is when the belief it isn't falls away.
