It's Not About Adding But Subtracting

10/10/2019

 
When we have glimpses of peace we often get the wrong impression about it all. We think peace is caused by something because it seems to appear as a result of us adding something.

There are so many things we believe we need to add to try and experience peace –substances such as alcohol, nicotine, drugs, food or activities such as cleaning the house, watching TV, playing video games, finding someone to love, listening to music,  having sex, meditating, learning something …
the list is endless. 

And the reason we believe adding something will bring us peace is because it seems to work – in part at least.

Adding something seems to give us a hit – a temporary fix of peace -
but it never lasts.

So … I want to invite you to consider looking at this all from a completely different perspective – and then to test out this new perspective in your own experience.

Rather than the view that peace is caused when we add something  – 
be open to the possibility that peace is revealed (not caused)
when we subtract something.

When we walk in nature, listen to music, meditate or do any enjoyable activity and sense peace – we are not resisting anything. We have ‘subtracted’ all resistance to now. We are open and as that openness we sense peace – peace which is actually ever present, uncaused by anything at all.

And to discover if this is in fact so, 
I invite you to test it out within your daily life.

Let go of all resistance and trying to figure anything out -
and see if peace is here now ...

Not just when you are meditating but when you feel hurt by something someone did or said.

Not just when you are walking in nature but when you are walking into work.

Not just when you are reading spiritual material but when you are looking at the unwashed dishes or muddy floor.

Not just when you are eating something you enjoy but when you notice hunger and the desire to eat. 

When we are open enough to subtract all resistance to Now 
the peace and simplicity of Now reveals itself. 
​
When our eyes and heart are free of debris we can see and sense clearly.

    It is all very simple. Instead of seeing things imagined, learn to see them as they are. When you can see everything as it is, you will also see yourself as you are. It is like cleansing a mirror. The same mirror that shows you the world as it is, will also show you your own face."
      Sri Nisargadatta     Maharaj

      Einstein said,
    "No problem can be solved 
      from the same
       level of consciousness
           that created it."
      
     

     
    To see new solutions
       we must see differently.
