What is happening over there?

For centuries many teachers in spiritual, religious and self-help circles have been trying to point us towards an understanding, a fundamental truth of where our experience of life is coming from.
For centuries most human beings have suffered from a trick of the mind that has us believing that our experience of life is coming from something or someone out there, in reality.
But when we live this way we suffer.
Innocently for many of us we are blinded by a belief system that we are powerless, hopeless and even sometimes useless. Why? because we cannot get our realities to look and feel as we expect them to be for us in this moment, the last moment and the next moment. Which often leads us to feeling anxious, depressed, stressed and completely unworthy of a life that we are excited about and love.
So what if we slowed down for a moment, this moment. Really read what is being shared here and try for ourselves to see beyond agreement and disagreement of the words on display and simply listen to the inner wisdom that guides us all.
It is a common human trait that never serves us that holds us back from fully listening to anything and anyone. As we try and attach our own meaning to things, we internalize messages and add our own agreement and disagreement to them which then floods the mind with more thinking, to the point where we are no longer hearing a message.
While reading this do nothing but see the words and hear the message with no agreement or disagreement and no meaning of your own. Don't get sucked into your own stories about what is being shared, simply listen deeply and maybe if you're lucky an insight will appear and you may see what is being pointed at here.

What is it then that has been pointed at all this time that we human beings either cannot see it through our own misunderstandings or don't want to accept?
We think we are feeling the ride of life when we are actually feeling our moment to moment thinking. No exceptions. 100% of the time. The human mind is a projector and not a camera so it is impossible for anything, anyone, anytime and anyplace to make us feel any of emotions we experience.
So what are we feeling if no-thing and no-one and no-where or even no-time is making us feel what we are feeling in any given moment that we are feeling it?
Let me challenge your thinking a little more and ask a few really dumb questions.
Who does our thinking?
Who does our feeling?
Who does our behaviour?
Who does our actions?
WE DO!
Every single human being that walks this planet is living in a thought generated perceptual reality.
Meaning that everything we experience in life is generated through the power of Thought.
In order for us big brained homo sapiens to experience everything in this world we need to have a thought. Whether the thoughts are conscious or sub-conscious, thought is the artists brush of human experience.
Human beings are powerful creators of their own realities.
Yet we don't understand this universal truth nor do we even trust that it's the truth when we hear it because we often enjoy being the victims of circumstances.
If happiness is an inside job then wouldn't this mean that every other human emotion be it comfortable or extremely painful be an inside job also?
The answer is yes.
In fact a HELL YES!
And if you don't want to accept this because your misunderstandings are you're you and your sickness is you're you then I invite you to test drive this for yourself.
We would never buy a car without test driving it especially if it were worth a lot of money and our lives are priceless so with this invitation I would like you to test drive this simple understanding for yourself.
Become aware of your thinking and the feelings and emotions that follow.
And with these feelings and emotions I invite you to simply recognize them as a reflection of your thinking in the moment.
We don't have to act on or believe in every thought we have so when we simply recognize thought for what it is then we can recognize feelings and emotions for what they are. The by-product of Thought taking form in the moment.
There is nothing else we need to do with our thoughts or emotions in order to live a happy and fulfilling life. Much like the weather, I am sure the planet is not coming to an end every time a storm strikes, and neither is our peace and happiness.
We just innocently get blinded by our fundamental misunderstandings about where we think our experience of life is coming from. It's out there we proclaim.
When you look inwards and accept that you are the creator of life from the inside-out you may laugh yourself silly.
And fall back in love with yourself and your life.
