ARE YOU CONFUSED?

Was speaking with a friend a moment ago. And this is all so new to her. She says she is confused. It was explained that confusion with 'This' is wonderful. The limited mind is not structured to understand the Mystery of Life. The best advice seemed to be to ask her to RELAX. Periodically, throughout the day, stop, relax, watch the breath, become aware of Awareness, the on-looker. Just a second or two. This relaxation/Awareness creates an opening, the opening that is her True Nature. Life takes care of the rest. This "checking-in" is about effortlessness, ease of being, and "This" which is always aware, looking and at peace with whatever it sees. Only the mind will say it is hard to stop thought, hard to get this, hard to understand. Why stop thought? Relax, and what will be will be. Just this brief relaxation, becoming Present with what already IS...gives the mind a much needed rest. Mind can't live in the now moment. In the world of the mind, past is memory, future is imagination and the mind is always in agitation because of this. Mind needs the rest of Presence, but it will never understand it.
