The
mind is very tricky, not pure mind which is mind without thought. Most think of mind generated from
conditioning and programming, in fact all minds are brain washed in a
sense. When we are born we have no
religion, cultural tendencies or in fact any agendas apart to be fed and looked
after.
This
is the mind of the child often quoted by spiritual masters, this is the Kingdom
of Heaven, however the trick is to become an adult, intelligent and wise, fully
intellectual and perhaps logical but fully aware that ‘mind space’ filled with
learning, knowledge of job and religion, politics and what else is only a
fabric, a sheet, a blanket which is covering the ‘empty child mind’, so there
is a knowledge of a very amazing experience, not taught or engineered of this
‘no mind or the empty mind’ which is so feared by many as boring and
vegetative.
However
on reflection the mind of a small child is alive, active, dynamic and creative
and if assisted by gentle guidance without laying on it layers of ‘stuff’ can
result in a very extraordinary being. A child like flowers and plants that KNOW
their true self, no one has to tell a daffodil or a rose, an oak tree or cherry
tree who they are, they have an intrinsic knowing a deep intuitive
understanding from their source as does the seed, as does the sperm and egg.
Then
there is a process where the blinkers cover over the child primal pristine mind
and the ‘mind empty space of the pristine child mind’ is forgotten and the
awareness is taken fully by the education, conditioning and programmes therein
and so ‘no mind’ becomes personality and character mind of whatever brain
washing ‘stick’ to the blinkers and so pure mind is filtered through a sieve, a
net and becomes an agenda, a plan for life and assumes reality.
Awareness
is narrowed down to the limits and manipulations and configurations that the
programmes and software allow, the clever alterations, the playing around with
combinations of the alive computer that has artificial intelligence created by
its own data and has to justify itself and so becomes an entity which in total
is the ego.
The
ego protects itself and has an arsenal of ploys which defend and attack and in
extreme cases is ruthless and cruel. If challenged it gives a graphic warning
‘keep out'—beware this is my space and I will take your space in order to become
larger and more dominant’. Weak egos,
the so called loss of confidence have to live in a diminished space and yet can
use the ploy of ‘poor me’ and so elicit sympathy or just fret and lament all
their life and feel their space constantly invaded and live in narrow confines. In contrast some egos know that they are weak(in fact they all do) and they arise and overcome their weakness to prove they are victorious and all conquering, most egos are bullies.
Needles
to say their are millions and millions of ego variants however only one singularity
awareness and pristine consciousness.
One
might say the spiritual journey so to speak is to uncover the ‘stuff’ of life',
live it if one can but not be attached to it and know and feel this is not me I am that which is not of the other.
The
problem most have is there is no definition to accurately describe or relate or
give to that ‘other’ it is a unique experience and that is for many the
quest----the quest is mainly to find out who I am not to find out who I am.
