HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED how chatty the mind can be? The thing never shuts up. It constantly fires off unwanted, uninvited thoughts that distract, worry and concern you. Often at really inconvenient times. The mind throws you into states of doubt, fear, and frustration when it thinks it’s in danger.

What does it mean to you? (Jason) I grew up in a very conservative Christian household, and I am no longer abiding by the illogical rules and dogma that has held me back from experiencing my life to the fullest.

Enlightenment. It still seems odd to me at times…the word, that is. It has been since February of 2017 that I stepped into an enlightened state of consciousness. That’s almost two years of being on an enlightened path, and still, I have residual dogma and sometimes embarrassment about using that word. I mean, come on! I swear like a drunken sailor, I enjoy an amazing glass of red wine or three occasionally, and my children (I swear) would try the patience of Buddha or Jesus. I ain’t exactly the picture of a wise man on the side of a mountain,…

I recently received a wonderful message telling me that the way you get The Drunk Monkey to stop talking was through Mantra Based Meditation. Which I happen to agree with in spirit. But what happens after you stop meditating? After 40 years of meditation and inner work, I believe I have added a deeper layer to the concepts of mind, unconscious mind, consciousness, soul etc. In a nutshell, I have figured out a way to get The Drunk Monkey to stop talking altogether. 1.

[Enlightened Perspectives 07] When you practice these unprovable dogmatic statements, your mind starts to go quiet and you become present to your infinite nature. If you are going to make things up, you might as well make things up that empower you and feel good. It’s not about right or wrong, good or bad. It’s about feeling and living.
