SHACK 4166 BABY MIND---- SATORI?

Courtesy Tenor

Who are you before you were named? Was this the first brain washing, I did not chose my name then followed by cultural, religious, Life style etiquette. Yes First nations are to some extent brain washed however I feel to more sharing, caring for one another and the planet. Could there be a correlation between baby mind and 'no mind' in Eastern Philosophy?

SHACK 4167 THE DARK UNIVERSE

Courtesy Webmovie

 It was a warm sunny day and yet I felt cold not the cold of tempreature but that cold of something so still and yet so dynamic, I felt the cold of the Universe at rest and clawing back the kudalini it had expended as if every soul was dredging out its negativity and karma. The stillness was dark and the heavenly host were on their knees bowing to the GREAT SPIIRT the Great Source of Life.

The stillness surrounded me and my body felt heavy and I felt dizzy my kneck stiff and there was a calm beauty and in that my beauty and in that calmness I was fully committed to feel 'feel committed to thee oh great spirit, take me now to your bosom and I surrender to your will and my will be willed to your will' slowly life and energy crept back into my inert body and I arose to go up and continue the day.

SHACK 4169 DESPAIR

Courtesy SciTech Daily

 I awoke and I felt a cold dark fear, a desperation and a crying in pain and torment. Hundreds nay Thousands of souls in human bodies, shuddering from the sound of bombs and wondering if they would survive, hungry and thirsty fearing the knock or bursting door staring at masked persons and at a rifle, stripped searched thrown out of the home and imprisoned, tortured and dehumanised. 

God help us and they feel they have been let down by God and their country and where do they turn in their despair, some choose suicide, others stoically, others rant and rage and can go mad, some look at their dismembered hand or leg, hand or eye and pray for their death or deliverance. 

The scars physical and emotionally may never be erased and even when taken to a tent or some sort of relief place, may never find peace or rest, some keep their prayer, others despair.

And I what can I do help or assist. I give money to charity. I silently pray in stillness not a prayer for deliverance but for those perpetrators of this violent assault be made to see the suffering and have mercy and compassion, I feel deeply their pain and oppression and I do a puja and there are such assets as Tonglen (a Tibetan mind imagery which converts negative energy to a more positive stance) the puja is a means with Tonglen that came to me as I presented so many workshops and therapy sessions and they seemed to help many and situations, so I do these when it seems appropriate to do so as I feel that rote can be mechanical and the right timing and feeling in stillness or a spontaneous prompt seems more efficient and meaningful. Of course Great Spirit knows our Hearts and Minds and with all that goes on today Great Sprit does not ignore the cries and it does not fall on deaf ears, Great Spirit, God Almighty feels this but has a purpose in not interfering and remains a mystery of which I can intellectually comment but this is my ego and I can only remain in stillness and see the outcome as much as it distresses me.

SHACK 4168 HEAVENLY HOSTS

Courtesy Etsy

Sometimes in my quiet times I can feel a sort of presence, not the presence which I humbly feel or recognise as the Devine. I feel there is an angelic presence, maybe it is imagination or wish, I would really love to see an angel and I feel that they exist and that the Great Spirit allots an Angel and I am told we all have a Guardian Angel, somehow I have the feeling this maybe authentic. I am also told that Angels can thwart certain attacks or help heal, this is true for me as I have been 'delivered' from certain incidents and illnesses in wonderful ways.

Anyway, I love the feeling and idea of Angels and I await such a time I maybe given a clue to their existence in real time in this body, although real time is an illusion and maybe Angels are not?

SHACK 4162 UNDERSTANDING

Courtesy  Got Questions

 In conversation with a Vicar he quoted me this as above from PROVERBS 3:5 and the rest of the text, as he felt I had Buddhistic and scientific leanings, I replied I am no authority of Buddhism or science and I certainly cannot speak for those in Buddhism or Science and can put forward my own view from my experiences.

I told him I felt that as far as I have heard read Jesus said ' "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid" (John 14:27, and I have heard it was said that peace that passes all human understanding.

Well of course you have heard and read of my feelings about inculcation, brain washing and the conditioned mind (In April 2026 I will be doing a full explanation on www.geoff freed.com or online) I then went into my spiel as in article in brackets and he went away with deep frowns and said he would get back to me.

Basically everything we know are other people ideas and modified over different epochs we are mostly cloned minds. When human understanding or thoughts are suspended in inner bliss and peace, we lean not to our own understanding.

SHACK 4165 SECRET PLACE

Courtesy  Christian Hem In'l

 Again as in previous Shack the Vicar and I got into 'the secret place of the Most High' He said in deep and earnest prayer he felt he entered a different Dimension, I felt the same in meditation and that Stillness was the highest form of prayer. We had a chat about deity and he prayed to Jesus and I have done on many occasions as well as Krishna and Buddha, however I felt the formless prayer or just to sit in stillness was for me the way I felt more comfortable.

The Secret Place for me was when thought naturally was absence not by suppression or act of will perhaps just surrendering to the quiet mind as natural as possible and perhaps acknowledging 'thy will be done or may my will be in tune with the Great Spirits Will' and the absence of images, not that Jesus, Buddha, Krishna images are displeasing but in that quiet empty space the spirt is felt behind the symbols that the pictures represent, they are human figures and images and in my view I need to get to the essence and feel the presence of that which is Most High.

We agreed to disagree and he felt I was a little if not wholly arrogant and that being a monotheist was somehow not a complete spiritual person.
