I find myself troubled today. My mind is going over and over things that are already past. I am stuck, my mind is stuck, my emotions trapped and my body suffering as a result. My mind is on a circle of thoughts over and over again. What ifs, should haves, could haves, said or done and on and on. This becomes a cyclic behavior that reinforces itself. I am reliving over and over the emotions associated with these experiences. In all of this I am lost to right now.
Before me I see two paths. One path continues this behavior, keeps me stuck. Reinforces my anger, my frustration, my anxiety, by fear, my resentments, keeps me in the past. Supports and nourishes my suffering. I can stay on this path.
There is another path. One of release. One of forgiveness. One of tolerance. One of acceptance. This other path reduces my suffering. This other path nourishes my healing. This other path frees me from the past and allows for growth. This path brings me back to now. Now is where I want to be.
What path will I choose?
Now is what I choose.

Control
Control is an illusion. There is really no control, there is only ever right now. The control here is to experience here, now. We cannot control others, we cannot control elements, and so on. Each is individual and each is collective. Awakened state is not death to ego but ego in the awakened state not in conflict with the ever present moment. Awakens state is not death to anything, but realization that everything is of a neutral state and exists in itself as well as in the collective everything.
Positive and negative are all values of perspective and as perspective changes so does the value assigned. From this view there is no positive or negative, only the momentary perspective assignment of such.
All things have an individual and collective nature, seeing this does not diminish the capacity to experience them just helps us to experience them and let the moment pass and move onto the next moment.
Awakened state is not to become unfeeling, more becoming more feeling in the moment, not tied to the past, or in anticipation or dread of the future. Awake here and now, when you are in the past it is like you are asleep to the now, when you are in the future again it is like you are asleep to the now.
If you can be awake now, the whole universe is here for you, a universe of undiscovery or discovery.
Thank You
