Boredom is the neediness for something "exciting" to happen. It's the craving for drama. It's the attachment/addiction to experiencing physical sensations. It's the desire to satisfy the physical senses. It's the wantingness to satisfy animal urges, rather than spiritual peace. It's the choosing of a temporary instant gratification, over long term well-being. Boredom is the choosing of pleasure over peace, because peace is perceived as being "boring". It's the urge to DO something in hopes of finding happiness, instead of simply BEING that something (happiness).

Boredom is the inability to accept life for what it is, as it is in this very moment. Boredom is the inability to see the beauty of the world, as it is right now. It's the unwillingness to see the perfection of what's right in front of our faces. It's the faulty judgemental egoic opinion that something is "wrong" with existence. Boredom is the absence of acceptance, and the rejection of contentness. It's the neediness to change the situation because the mind refuses to be happy with what is. Boredom is the refusal of happiness in this very moment. When the mind is needy, there always has to be something more. With boredom, things always have to be different than how they already are. Boredom is intolerance and discrimination. Boredom is the absence of love.

Boredom is the anticipation of what could be, but isn't. It's the looking forward to what doesn't exist in reality. It's the indulgence in an illusionary dream of imagination, and the escaping of reality.

Boredom is a form of anxiety and stress. Boredom determines many of our erroneous actions, and is therefore the source of much of our suffering. Boredom is a psychological problem that is best to be let go of. When one lets boredom take control of them, one is never satisfied (happy/content).

Boredom is the false notion that happiness lies outside oneself. It's born from the unawareness that happiness can simply be chosen at all moments of life, despite life's circumstances. Boredom happens because of ignorance and unconsciousness. Boredom is the result of a lack of truth. Boredom is a negativity. Boredom creates problems.

Boredom is the identification with the autonomous cellular neural functioning/activities/thinkingness of the physical brain, instead of the identification with the formless spiritual awareness that silently observes the mind's automatic functioning/thinking from an "outside" perspective.

Boredom is the worry that something is being missed out on. It's the fear of doing nothing. It's the fear of silence, or more specifically, the fear of the silence of your own mind. It's the fear that one's life will come to an end if one stops thinking and experiencing physical sensations. It's the fear that the "me", "myself", and "I" might die. Boredom is the fear of death because the automatic thinkingness of the mind is incorrectly identified as being "me".

When one takes control of the mind (lets it go), instead of being controlled by it, boredom becomes non-existent, and happiness/joy/contentness/peace then becomes permanent, instead of just temporary. When one's happiness is no longer limited to only when experiencing external phenomena, one realizes that the true source of happiness is, and always has been, found and experienced within, as a choice. Happiness is an inner choice, right here, right now, and always, no matter what life's external happenings are. The outer becomes completely irrelevant as one becomes immersed in this permanent inwardly experienced happiness/joy/bliss/ecstasy. And this profoundly ineffable bliss/ecstasy/peace is far beyond any physical sensation that one could possibly imagine (and yes, that includes sex). All that one has to do is refuse the mind's activities, and choose to be it.

Do you ever experience sudden epiphanies, brilliant ideas, flashes of insight, or moments of profound genius? If not, there's only one reason - you're too caught up in your current thought processes, ideas, views, opinions, beliefs, perceptions, concepts, associations, thinkingness, and emotions.

Let them go. You may not be aware of it, but those thoughts are a major hindrance to you. Nobody can know the truth, or the next level of truth, as long as they think they already know the truth. Get out of the way, and all the unsolved riddles, mysteries, and answers of the universe will be yours. The thought and feeling of "I don't know" (humilty and egolessness at all times) will bring about radical beneficial changes.

Get out of the way. Let go. Give up. Surrender.

And whatever you do, don't take credit for those epiphanies and brilliant ideas. You did not make them happen. They happened by themselves when the mind was out of the way. They wouldn't have happened if "you" (the mind) was still occupied with it's own so-called "truth". They happened in the absence of the mind, not because of the mind. They happened in the absence of a personal individual you. They happen completely on their own without a person doing it intentionally. In fact, the mind's intentions, wishes, goals, dreams, neediness, wants, and controlism are keeping epiphanies at bay.

So, drop all intentions. Including that of experiencing epiphanies. All-knowingness comes as a result of inner silence. Silence is All-knowing.

What are epiphanies? It's the real "you" shining through. The real "you" is the All-Knowing Silent Awareness that shines forth when that which is in the way, is out of the way.

Get out of the way. Let go. Give up. Surrender.

Unless you are in this very moment, and every other fleeting moment, at least striving to be, loving, compassionate, peaceful, happy, content, joyful, accepting, forgiving, respectful, conscientious, kind, calm, serene, tolerant, patient, benign, neutral, unattached, responsible, honest, sincere, truthful, trustworthy, generous, grateful, modest, humble, egoless, selfless, courageous, optimistic, hopeful, and positive, you aren't solving any of your problems, nor the problems of the rest of the world.

Only those who give up and let go of stressful, negative, resentful, selfish, egotistical, righteous thoughts and emotions have a peaceful mind, and only those who have a peaceful mind are contributing to world peace.

"There is no path to peace. Peace is the path." - Ghandi
"For hatred does not cease by hatred at any time: hatred ceases by love. This is an unalterable law." - Buddha

How your mind works determines how you live your life. It determines whether you are at conflict with the world, or at peace with it. It determines what and how you eat, how you react to all situations, what you believe you are capable of, and what your limitations are. It determines what you can and cannot do without, what you do and don't do, what you are attracted to, and what you are afraid of. It determines what you consider to be important and unimportant, what you do with your life, and what you think life is about. It determines whether you blame or forgive, hate or love, and it determines your level of inner happiness, joy, and completion.

How your mind works determines literally everything about your life, and the relationship you have with the rest of the world.

Absolutely everything is a perception (that can be changed), and absolutely everything stems from the mind. It's not what's going on "out there" in the external world that matters. It's what's going on "in here" in your mind and heart that matters. Everything has to do with the ingrained programming of your mind.

Most people live their lives with their mind on complete autopilot, without even realizing that they have the ability to take complete control of it. These people basically live their lives in a state of sleep, completely unaware that they can change the way their mind works.

They believe they are at the mercy of how their mind works, and that their capabilities are limited. They think "this is how I am, and I can't do anything about it", when in fact nothing could be further from the truth.

Changing the ingrained flow of energy through the brain's cellular neural pathways (thought processes) is nothing more than a choice. The more you purposefully think and perceive in more positive ways, the easier it becomes.

Start by questioning society's beliefs and practices, and especially the validity of the workings of your own mind. What we think and believe to be true, is very often far from the truth, even if that opinion is held by the masses of society. The automatic consequence of that falsehood then, or even of limited relative truths, is what creates all of our suffering, individually and collectively.

So if you're tired of suffering, no matter what the shape or form of that suffering might be, seek truth, live that truth, and be that truth.

Why? Because the truth is the answer to every problem that ever has and ever will exist.

Celery is my friend
Healthy and low in calories
I could eat it to no end
Provides loads of cellular energy

Some like it with cheez whiz
Some with processed PB
Not so healthy this is
And so it's not for me

Perhaps if it were organic cheese
And without plastic trans fats
It would do more to please
Thanks, but I'll take it without formats

Some don't care about health
Controlled by their senses they are
Searching for external happiness and wealth
They believe it's afar

But if they would just look within
And realize happiness is a choice
Only then they might begin
To renounce and rejoice

Proper nutrition is food for the brain
Mentally and emotionally balanced I become
From the negatives I will abstain
All-knowingness and profound peace are awesome

Never before has one written a poem
Beauty and grace just flows
Closer and closer comes saintdom
For that's what I chose

Most focus on the "me"
Instead of the All
So inner turmoil there will be
This is man's fall

One can only help others
To the level they improve themselves
This celery not only feeds my hungers
It provides wellness for all yourselves

Neediness often pushes other people away. Love is not a fluctuating unstable emotion. Love is not greed, possession, owning, attachment, neediness, desire, infatuation, lust, craving, addiction, jealousy, anger, egotism, or control. That which is selfish can't be love because love is selfless.

Love is good intent.
Love is service.
Love is selfless.
Love is devotion.
Love is trust.
Love is respect.
Love is kindness.
Love is compassion.
Love is good will.
Love is forgiveness.
Love is acceptance.
Love is tolerance.
Love is neutrality.
Love is unconditional.
Love is non-selective.
Love is all-encompassing.
Love is pure.
Love is Divine.
Love is Eternal.

Love is something you are. It's a way of being. It's the full blown radical forgiveness and acceptance of absolutely everything, as it is right now in this very moment, always.

Love is an INFINITE resource. It cannot be exhausted or used up. The more you give, the more you are able to give. The more you love, the more you can, and everybody has to start with where they are right now.

Love should not be given because you expect something in return. It is done out of selflessness (the absence of self). It's not about getting. It's about giving with no thought of reward. Not even a "thank you" should be needed or expected because that's neediness. "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Love for the sake of loving.

Relationships "fail" because people are searching outwardly for happiness and love. We are meant to share and give the happiness and love that we ALREADY ARE, with others. In doing so, it grows constantly and continuously within the one who is giving and sharing it. Love is experienced by being it yourself. Love is experienced from within, which means the source of it is within, when it's chosen. We give and share the happiness and love that we are by simply BEING it, and when we choose to be it, it's automatically being shared with others. It doesn't require any "doing". Just be Love. In becoming a better person yourself (losing the selfish self), you will be helping all others in turn.

There is no longer a "special" individual to love when all is loved equally and unconditionally. Nobody and nothing is "special" when all is equal, and if all is equal then nobody is "more important" than anybody else. Real Love is all-encompassing. It's not selective, choosy, picky, fussy, judgemental, or discriminatory. Real Love, when unobstructed by false individual opinions, beliefs, perceptions, thought processes, and emotionalism is unconditional and non-selective, no matter what. No matter what. Hence the saying, "There is no such thing as a justified resentment."
