Mindfulness and Your Inner Fixer

5/18/2017

There is nothing to fix. Wherever a problem is perceived or being perceived, is where the physical mind or ego-self is hard at work projecting a reality of problems and veiling the reality of simultaneous solutions.

To say that there is nothing to fix or that there is nothing that needs fixing, isn't an encouragement for you to ignore the points and knots of tension in the energy flow of your reality. There being nothing to fix isn't an excuse for you to bury your head in the sand and pretend that nothing bothers you or pretend that you're not experiencing any challenges if that is indeed your experience. Suppression and avoidance are far away from the energy that this premise is guiding you toward. Rather, this is an invitation for you to examine and transcend your relationship to the problem/solution duality altogether by first taking a look at the terrains of your own psyche.

Every problem that appears to arise is one side of a two-sided coin. Creation is whole and every pattern that emerges is a pattern of wholeness. It’s not incomplete or partial. It's not unfinished. Meaning everything that arises as an apparent problem already has within it the resonant solution, it is one equation. It was actually never a “problem” but a whole pattern emerging in the field that you were only partially looking at. What obstructs your ability to perceive the solution before the problem or perceive both problem and solution simultaneously is the hard-wiring or habituated tendency that has you fixating on just the one side.

Solutions spontaneously emerge when you release the mental chatter that says there is something to fix right now or that there is something that needs fixing right now. Drop that entire lens of observation, drop that narrative, drop that tendency to want to project continuity of the partial pattern you’re defining as a problem and see what happens. The fixer that arises in your consciousness is a phantom self that pretends to be the solver of reality. See through this illusory authority and you’ll observe the inherent wholeness of every pattern that emerges before your eyes as an event, a situation, or a relationship.

Notice in your own experience where you are seeing problems, challenges, difficulties, conflict, friction, tension and the like. Just allow yourself to non-judgmentally glace at your own interior to see what narratives, judgements, and evaluations are being allowed to run in your perception and who it is that owns these judgements, evaluations and declarations of reality as it is right now being wrong. Witness this bundle of tendencies in yourself impartially and without resistance.

The mind chatter that declares and dictates what’s happening in and as this moment, the mind chatter that evaluates the patterns of your experience as desired or undesired is static noise you can silence with a quiet glance. Wholeness pervades your world if you would but notice it. Every positive has its negative and every negative contains its positive. Existence, no matter which way you splice and dice it can’t help but be whole and complete at every turn. This problem that you think you see? It was already solved and resolved before you even noticed it. It came that way.

Do you recognize that a problem never occurs as an isolated pattern in the field? Do you recognize the wholeness of everything that arises in your waking world? This pattern is whole and that pattern is whole and even that pattern over there that looks pretty hopeless is already whole. Can you allow yourself to notice that every pattern in your world is incapable of not being in union with its complimentary half?

The moment you become aware of the problem-focused chatter arising in your awareness, you can recognize it for what it is, and shift right into the recognition that this apparent problem, this drama, this conflict, this friction, this tension that you’re noticing has already been resolved. If you allow yourself to dwell in that recognition and let that be the lens you look through, let that be the energy you radiate, let that be the frequency you anchor, you will have a completely different impact on yourself, your relationships, and your world.

Ask yourself:

Am I aware of how I’m creating the perception that there is a problem here?
Am I in recognition of what I’m doing internally to create and maintain this narrative?
Do I recognize the definitions I’m casting before myself right here and now?
Can I awaken to the script I’m about to run or that I’m running as I’m observing this event, this situation, this relationship?
Can I step into the recognition that this event, this situation, this relationship has already moved into stability, equilibrium, coherence and resonant flow?
Can I shift my focus to its completeness, it's wholeness, it's coherence?

Train yourself to instantly see the other side of an apparent problem. Train yourself to immediately tune into resonant flow, coherent flow, completeness, and wholeness. Train yourself to tap into the whole potential of any pattern that is emerging. Train yourself to directly look into and access the boundless, timeless, and pervasive intelligence that is at the core of everything that arises in your waking reality. As you do that, you’ll establish and re-establish yourself, your relationships, and your world on the unshakeable ground of the Wholeness that forms all your moments and all your worlds.
