The battle for what Moses called the Promised Land; for what Jesus called The Kingdom of Heaven; and for what the Buddha called Nirvana is of an inner nature. Your whole life is an inside job. The flow of life is an inner one that goes outwardly, into the so-called outer world. But the outer cannot affect you like you think it can. The mind pulls you away, causing you to engage with the erroneous assumption that if you fix your condition, you can fix your emotion, your mind, and your spirit. Wrong! Fix your mind, fix your emotion, and fix your spirit in the direction of love, kindness, peace and the rest will be added to you.
The only place where you’ll find love, happiness, joy, truth, and peace is already in you. The so-called giants that try to stop you by invading that space with negativity. There are giants – parasites that try to eat away at your natural states of inner, heavenly rest. Thoughts, circumstances, other people, obstacles, etc., are all illusory. The outer world is a dream – harmless. The inner world can stand up to anything. You reign supreme, but you have to climb to the highest mountain in your spirit and stay up there. It is a struggle to overcome the demons of negativity, but meditation, prayer, soul-searching, solitude, and the inner work is where you start.
Stand firm on overcoming the world, as Jesus put it. You don’t have to ignore it, just overcome the temptation of being lured into what “bothers” you, or what “makes” you happy. Generate your own happiness, your own love, and your own peace and you’ll part the Red Sea. What a life – not to be affected by insidiousness. You would be a master champion and live a life of total bliss if you freed yourself from the world’s biggest giants.
