Diving in deep

To understanding and letting space into the mind, it allows us to be aware of suffering rather than judging it.  We can be present and enjoy every experience. We are the masters of our minds and we should never be intimidated by the mind. With more space in the mind we take our reaction less seriously and less attached to thoughts. We can watch them like children, knowing they will quickly wear themselves out. For example, lake water is much clearer when you don’t stir it up- which means let it be. To let things be and stay confident our whole being becomes very authentic and everything we do we become much more authentic in it.
We habitually think that is it better to gain than to lose, are mind always want to be in a good state of mind. We wonder what is wrong with ourselves if we feel troubled. It’s simply that we live in an unreliable world; just allow the emotions to be and let it pass naturally.  We see suffering as useless, but in truth the pain allows us to develop compassion. By feeling a connection to others we become empty and our happiness comes by helping others. We lose self-absorption and gain the insight to love others as our self. The path to Dharma leads us way from ego’s struggle for attachment to “self” and points us toward benefiting others. With this understanding we gain enlightened potential to grow. We must be true to our self and work with conflicting emotions- The attitudes that one has toward ones self- by cutting through any kind of emotion which has the slightest feelings toward separation.--------------------------------------------------------------------------  
 Everything is brief and won’t last forever, so experience life now! Ego wants you to believe that everything is permanent, but the truth is we all change. Even are thoughts and emotions are constantly changing.  Simplify life and when or mind is open and engaged we can awaken to each new day with the breath of love!
Reflecting more deeply into our minds and feeling of being with yourself; gives you clearer appreciation for living. This is Zazen,( The Art of Just Sitting) which all delusions, doubts, distractions drop off. This is the Buddhist faith. Concentrating your mind one-pointedly on God and everything will take care of itself. In deep meditation we see that the universe sustains us .We are now, always have been, and always shall be sustained only through the outpouring of God’s energy. We see past, present, and future lives clearly with the perfection of non-greed. Then there is no need to fight or being hooked by the world when we no longer feel insecure. We can be who we are and then we find our place in the world. 
Idiomatically emotions come up whether we like it or not, but these things are not within us. Nothing is given by others outside of us. We are only love. It’s easy to concentrate with the knowledge of presence of mind. In order to let go of attachments we must first be aware that emotions are not for you to absorb. That is self-importance- Attachments are nothing, but empty awareness. We can let them arise and let them go back and return to its source. We meditate to let go of inner conflict, or attachment; inner attachment, outer attachment, and attachment to “self” all together.
By love of God and love for yourself, through your devotion, you come to the awakening of you are one with the Divine always. We find fulfillment from within. Samadhi means bliss. It’s the union with everything in creation and finally with God. The whole of creation is made up of one light. Our nature is to be with God and cosmic Consciousness centers us, strengthens our powers of kinship with all beings. We have found focus of a meaningful life, which is the welfare of all living beings.
