The Game of Expectations

The Game of Expectations

The Only Things that Last are Connected in Energy

We play a game of expectations with our mind. That everything will be this way or that way. It has to be this way or that way. We won’t do this or that until something else happens. It is “the game of expectations”. When we play “the game of expectation”, we are lost. Never in the moment of the now. That is what lost is. Impossible to “understand” as “understanding” is a mind thing. That act of understanding is the very act of being “lost”. Not being in the now. The moment. Authentic.

What are we lost in? We are lost in our mind. Out of the energy connection that envelops everything. The timeless now.

We believe that expectations are real, or can be real. We have pain and suffering when the expectations don’t “materialize”.?

Our sensory experience isn’t just to trap us into a loveless relationship. It is there for more than just reproduction. It is the path to bliss if we can sustain it. How? By making the mind what it is. A recorder of experience. The experience itself happens in energy. Happens in the feeling bliss of the senses.

The mind will never understand the timeless now in terms of time. There is no “now” in time. Time is the way the mind captures and records experience. Experience is always happening in flow. The flow of experience is the timeless now. It connects the before and after. It is timeless in that way. It is the past, present and future. That is absurd for the mind. Why? Past, present and future is a mind thing to place experience in a “time file”.

All the files of the mind are in time files. All experience is not in any file of any kind. No time. No recording. Just now. Just the just is now. It makes perfect sense in the feeling experience. Especially, the greater the experience overloads the senses, the feeling neurons. The trigger ban be anything. The less mind the easier the trigger can be. The more mind, the more the trigger has to be to free the feeling firing neurons from the energy parasitic mind stuff. Thoughts. Empty energy stealing thoughts.

All the stress and anxiety are made up things, thoughts, that the mind you fixates on. The brain you only cares about solutions. The great secret of existence is that everything is in flow and anything at any “time” passes away in flow. Energy flow.

The greater secret is that in the flow of energy, in energy connection, there is no negative and positive, pain and suffering thing. The energy is not positive. It is just bliss. The rest is made up of vibrations created by thought. Can that happen in other dimensions, if other dimensions exists? Yes, but in fineer and finer vibrations of thought, mind stuff.

Really irrelevant as the energy of all that is is a bliss state of experience. The only thing that drops us out of the flow of energy and our connection to energy is “the game of expectations”. Thinking we can know that what is of everything. Discovering it all is the game of creative genius, but that game is the game of connection to energy. The unknown. The unknowable until captured by the mind. But the moment of capturing is when the flow of energy is disconnected and the connection lost.

That is the conundrum. We go in and out of flow by discovering and knowing. In the moment of discovery, we are connected to energy and the creative genius of that connection is working. When we bring that out for ourselves and others, the energy of connection is lost. The new and surprising connection to the unknown is broken. The experience is synthesized and reduced to an idea, concept and, eventually, belief. Good for knowing. Terrible for flow and connection. We are not connected to flow and energy with an idea, concept and belief. That is why we have pain and suffering. The idea, concept and belief leaves us stranded without the connection. Without the bliss.

Faith is the mind’s hopeful way of saying we can get there or the experience of connection will return. But it does not “return” to the mind. In mind, faith and hope are meaningless, save some emotional feeling that everything will be alright.

In connection to energy, everything is alright right now. There is nowhere to go when you are already there. That is the thing. If you are going somewhere in thought or desire or wanting, you are in the mind world of time and expectation. In energy, you are in flow. The experience of now is connected to the flow of nows. That is the fun part. You are in the feeling world of perfect right time, perfect place, perfect right action, but there really is no time thing. You wouldn’t want to change the now experience at all. It is perfect. Right now.

There is no more better fun than the now connection to energy. No reason or need to evaluate it. Judge it. Be other than it. Whatever you are in the experience of connected to energy. Bliss means no more to experience other than bliss. The weird thing, if I can call it that, is that small bliss or large bliss doesn’t really matter. Just bliss is the thing. In mind, I can measure it. In bliss, it doesn’t matter.

All the “states” of Samadhi and the like are mind stuff. Nonsense. It doesn’t matter one bit what state you are in when you are in the non-state bliss state. Ridiculous to have any judgment of the amount and type of bliss. That is an ego personality mind thing. That some guru guys use it to make belts and levels of accomplishment is The Universe Laughing.

There is no fixed just is. It is in flow and change. It cannot be captured by “the game of expectations”. The seeking this level, that level, is still “the game of expectation”. One or many expectations doesn’t matter. It is the presence of expectation, the mind, that makes the disconnection. That makes the pain and suffering. The wanting. Attachment is wanting. You can have anything in your life. It is the wanting that creates the disconnection to the energy of it. Of everything.

If you want to have great sex, disconnect from the wanting of it, the expectation. Let it be what it is. In the disconnection to the wanting and expectation you will find the magic miracle bliss the senses long for. That is connection. How much you get, depends on the tone of your Vagus Nerve and body neurons.

I had a guru, who since passed, who talked about the energy you going outside the body in order to experience even more connection to energy beyond feeling. Way more intense that way. But that is beyond what I want to talk about in this blog. This blog is about feeling the connection to energy in the walking around state of being in the body. Can it happen outside the body? Yes. Is it more intense? I tis way beyond any idea of “intense”. It is The Universe Laughing. That the body is the end all of experience.

What I talk about is not shutting down the senses, but revving them up. More. But it doesn’t take much to simply enter the flow. The connection to energy. Energy will do the revving when the connection is made. That is the good fun part. It takes you on the ride. The energy ride. New and surprising ride. How to take the ride is the thing.

Taking the ride is a fear thing. Overcoming or using the fear is the way. Overcoming is harder than using it. Using it simply means doing it anyway. The says “taking the risk”, but better to not even let the mind say that. Overcoming fear and “taking the risk” is just simply using feeling to find and take the ride in flow. It is only and always a feeling thing. Not an emotion. Fear is an in between thing. In between mind and energy. In mind, fear is an emotion. In energy, it is the feeling that you are dropping the mind, thinking and expectation and entering into the new and surprising unknown.

Is this “fearful”? It can be. For most it is the limit of the mind state. The wall. The jay. The box. The thing that keeps us in the we know everything we already know state. The fear in energy is the fear to not be all that we already know. That the other not known is powerfully not us. What do we do then? fear.

We do noting then. There is no “then”. That may be scary to the mind you, but it is freedom, power and usefulness to the energy you. The primal you. The getting over the fear, pain part, you. Finding the natural child you. Children are connected to energy. It is our natural state of beingness.

Children come into the body and world willing to take the ride where ever that ride takes them. That is the energy. The resilience. We train all that out of them and teach them to resent themselves if they aren’t having the perfect life. Being the perfect person. Looking the perfect way. That is total disconnection to energy.

We would all be better off is the world was in total darkness. No magazines and ads to show what we aren’t. In the total darkness, there is only the what we are, as energy. Nothing to compare. Just us in the energy of our beingness. We could still be bad, but it would be way easier to “see”. Feeling is powerful seeing. The feeling world in darkness would be an improvement over the game of expectation.

The game of expectation depends heavily on the moving lights of “seeing”. We become “blinded” by what we see. We develop wants out of the moving light things. Shiny stuff. The having and showing off of the shiny stuff. Bags, cars, watches, ego stuff.

So the easy way to the bliss is to turn off the pictures of the shiny stuff. How? Not letting the shiny stuff thoughts become “the game of expectation”. To not play the game. How? To find the feeling connection to energy and let that be the identity of fullness and a life well lived. It is easy as the bliss is the pay off for connecting. No bliss and it is just a wishful thought. An ego connection to energy. Just in the mind.

There are a multitude of those. Fully trained and espousing the words, ideas, concepts and beliefs of connection to energy. But little to no bliss. High in the mind, but not crossed over to the bliss. The feeling. The flow. The just is. Fullness.

Why? The mind is an insidious thing. By design. The insidiousness of the mind is in that it can never find its perfection. “Perfection” is a mind thing and as a mind thing it does not exist, only in the mind. “Perfection” is when there is no distinction between what is perfect and not perfect. That is perfection. It is a bliss state of not needing or having the differentiation judging of the mind as any effect to beingness. To feeling. To connection in energy.

Is that powerful, to be feeling connected to energy? There isn’t any more power than that. The guys running the big things seeking power kill themselves in many ways. Some even by suicide, addiction, stress and depression. Why? Disconnection to energy is not powerful in anyway, no matter what. The illusion of connection is what the mind calls “powerful”.

In the connection to energy, there is no need for “power” and “control”. There is no need to control flow and you couldn’t control it anyway. It is too powerful to be controlled. You become a part of that powerfulness. That is real power, freedom and usefulness. That is the magic part.

The mind uses the word “surrender”. That is the mind saying it can still stay as mind and ego and become subservient to something, anything. In energy you do not “surrender”. You become energy. You are energy. You connect as energy to energy. That is the love thing. The become one thing. Mind ways of talking about it. In experience, the oneness thing is meaningless. The “just is” is the closest way to capture, in mind, what the experience is. Just to be experience. Just to be it.

The bridge is “experiential awareness”. This is the real time watching of the energy you in flow experiencing what is happening in flow. This beyond “the game of expectation”, outside the mind. This is the fun place to be. The bliss part. The everything is perfect part, no matter what is happening.

One of my favorite ways to talk about it is from Viktor Frankl, who was in a Nazi concentration camp as a child. When he got the meager bowl of rice, with bugs in it, he would say to himself “Wow! Look at that! How wonderful”. In my own experience, one of the greatest times was when I got up and went out on my balcony an grabbed the rail and just vibrated saying WOW! And looking around in the dark night at what I has seen many thousand times before.

“The game of expectations” has the mind you thinking there is more than that. Good luck with that. It has never proven to be true. To want is to want more. It is an insidious never ending game of fake content and constant discontent. Disconnection to energy. No one is fully disconnected to energy. In fact, we are all fully connected all the time. The difference is in how much the mind expects and wants. The attachment thing Buddha talked about.

You experience in life is your own. I offer that there is an easy way to measure the freedom, power and usefulness. It is whether you can feel bliss or not. How often you feel bliss. How easy it is to return to bliss. That’s the thing. You will always have mind, but not playing “the game of expectations” is trick.

The difference between pain and suffering, stress and depression and bliss and fullness is in either playing “the game of expectations” or not playing the game of expectations and at least knowing the difference; and, even better, experiencing the difference in feeling connected to energy. Bliss.
