At the Core of Mind’s Fear – Trusting Life
At the core of almost every psychological fear in the mind is a deep-seated mistrust towards life. I continue to use the word “mind” to represent the thinking aspects in our human self as well as our non-physical self (the soul). If you don’t believe, or are skeptical, about your identity as a soul, or […]

Hi Sen,
To move through mind resistance or unwillingness to move through fear and pain, is it fine to dedicate the suffering for a desired reality which I might not know already, but something that life would favor if only I could open up to it by dropping my lethargy and unwillingness to face the current suffering as it is.
I am asking this because I am not sure if it is selfish to have something desirable in the mind’s forefront so as to go through the current life experience/phase. Not to think that if only I impatiently strive to reach any desired reality then I will be free, but to channel or dedicate one’s suffering fully for it. Not sure if the mind will cooperate unless there is some sort of reason to go through suffering/pain/fear.
Any feedback from you might be helpful. Just asking because of some conflicts in mind regarding the same.
Thanks
Hi Sen,
Its great to see you have started writing the articles again. 🙂

Wow new article after a long time…Welcome back sen…Marvellous as always
Sen, currently I am going through the release but sometime the urge to indulge in distractions(youtube,gaming,browsing internet) become so high that i give in to the urge which makes me feel like all the progress i have made is lost and i feel bad about.
i also feel that i am making no progress allthough i have been in the journey 6+ months.how can i not give in to the urge when the pull is so powerfull to indulge in distraction?
Don’t stop writing! I love all your posts ad whether it’s life or as some of us may call trusting “GOD”–it’s very reassuring. Thank you for all you do!
Dear Sen,
I have been reading these blogs for quite some time. I find that life isn’t just about being in a joyous state 24/7 and unbalanced towards joy.
From reading the blogs I have overcome a lot of addictions and aligned with my natural expertise.
I seem to be having a problem with patience. My job now is trading stocks, and I just have no patience. I stare at the clock but I can’t sit still or do yoga or meditate or even read for long periods of time. My focus and patience are all messed up. I can barely eat because I can’t focus long enough.
I’m starting to trust life and resist less but it just seems like I’m at a war with using techniques and not using techniques and reaction and no action
I’m either a recluse or unproductive or I just want to watch movies all day instead of study for my job because I trust
That life will take care of me.
I know my quality of life depends on my decisions but I just keep making poor decisions.
I just resist when there is nothing to resist.
I self sabotage so much .
I like taking the hard path when there is no point.
If I don’t read the blog for awhile, my whole brain becomes out of whack .
I’m all over the place.
On top of that,
I used to unconsciously enjoy life / I would say 95 percent of day :
Now I consciously do not enjoy it for more than 10 percent a day or less
So delighted to see a new post 🙂
So nice to read a new post of yours ! All those years your thoughts and sharings have been like a compass to me and still are of a tremendous help. So grateful to come accross your amazing contribution. Just to say, from the bottom of my heart, Thank You Sen
Hey Sen!
Its cool reading your blogs again!
i am currently re-reading them and there are still awesome 😀 They help me understand and deepen my understanding of my current struggles, so… thank you 🙂
Hi Sen! Hope your well! I have been coming to your blog for years! I can’t believe my luck as I just checked it and a new post was available! Your guidance has helped me so much over the years, thank you!
I used to suffer terribly with low self esteem and confidence and I’m in such a different place within myself now (it took 11 years!) yet nothing around me seems to change, I don’t get it, I notice whenever I share what I’m learning with others to help them, they have physical manifestations happen and although I’m so happy for them I can’t help feel bitter. I struggle with how much inner work I have done yet my circumstances just don’t seem to catch up with me.
I’m practicing what I preach and I take action on what I want but I’m not seeing anything outside of myself change.
Please can you share any guidance on where I’m going wrong. Appreciate it so much!
Hello Sen…i had been continuously following your posts…But for last one year , i stop following spiritual posts..I understand everything,but i am not able to free myself from the grip of mind..I have been ardent follower of spirituality for last few years…
But day by day , my perception about spirituality changes..light and dark energy always co exist …Main thing is to accept everything as it is…But ego does allow us to accept everything as it is…
Very happy that you posted again, thanks Sen!
Dear Sen,
I came across your blog in the year 2014. I visit your blog atleast once a day even today. It has helped me a lot by the way of instigating right understandings about life and the mind.
But the issue still remain unresolved. I know it is an issue with the mind that you clearly points to time and again. The fears and insecurities in my mind can’t be balanced out or integrated with your pointers of — “don’t fear fear, don’t judge your mind, don’t fear your mind, life is one pure stream of wellbeing, self acceptance, self love, trusting life and etc.”
You have mentioned in your past posts that your sense of freedom doesn’t depend on trusting life since there is no certainty in life but your openness to what may happen or unfold. And you mention the same in this post. But how can the mind relax and embrace those dark polarities that come in the form of pain/hurt with the mere understanding of nature of play of life energy?
We say we are not our mind but the “being/soul”, but we even corrupt this “being/soul” part when we say we inherit imbalance from our grand parents/past life in the gene pool/cellular memory. If “awareness/consciousness” is only the thing that can be developed to disidentify ourselves from the tyranny of mind activities, how can this awareness/consciousness be associated with the balance/wellbeing of life?… because you even corrupt this “awareness/consciousness” when you say “mind-identified consciousness” in some of your past posts.
Where is the place in us if not our soul to build our trust upon for the love, wellbeing and goodness of life? If love and light has to be balanced with its opposing polarities as a nature of play of life, what about the sense of morality that we have? Does it serve any purpose? How can life be so rude to use the “mind” by entangling it with its play without any goal or destiny?

Sen, I’m curious what you think of synchronicities. As I’m becoming more open to what arises, I have been seeing the same numbers appear quite a lot.
…and you didn’t publish my comments. May be you find it useless or answerless. Thank u.
Sen when will you start making more content?
And have you ever thought about making a YouTube channel?
Dearest Sen,
First & Foremost, Happy New Year ! It is such a Blessing to have You back Active on this Incredible blog. Would You Kindly share how Life has been for You in the last 7 years ? Has much changed ? Are there any articles here that You would remove/modify now that You’ve had additional accumulative experience with the Flow of Life from an Enlightened Position (someone who has Successfully Freed Themselves from the grip of the Mind and is Rooted deeply in Beingness) ??
One of My all time Favourite articles You wrote on this blog (that I still refer to time and time again) is “Experiencing Abundance”. Do those Principles still hold True ? I have been Committed to the State of Allowing (although there are certain areas I do notice in hindsight that I’m not fully Allowing Consciously).. “Fierce Grace” – the term I Believed You used to describe how Life may orchestrate various events to overcome fear/resistance/instigate Growth………Though certain things have occurred, it took Me a while to break free/shift My reactions to Them (one I’m still working with in the Realm of Money)..
The Goal is to definitely become Free of the Mind, Realize the Oneness You describe on Your ‘about Me page’, and enjoy Life as a Deliberate Conscious Creator.
Your Blog was one of the first introductions to this very State as a Possibility – for this I Truly Thank You.
Since then I have been introduced to a few various methods/practices (Vipassana, The Release Technique/The Power of Quiet, Mama Earth medicines/elixirs, Neville Goddard’s “Live in the End – Feeling is the Secret” teachings etc. to Name a few).
I Realize that I’m Open to anything to “speed up” the process of Realizing total Freedom.
Do You still Believe/stand by the Practice of Surrendered Allowing to be the most Effective & Efficient method for a Being to Accomplish/Realize this State Experientially ??
I’m looking forward to any Insight You’re willing to share on My query + how Life has been like for You since You weren’t Active on this Blog. On behalf of all Your readers – We Thank You for leaving the site up and available for all of Us to come back and refer to !!!
