Being
quiet and still is only a means to feel the source that is the essence of Life,
God the Almighty. It is not just being
still for one can experience the ‘spring’ that is the bubbling joy and the
happy chortling brook which is the stream and river of light spontaneously at random times.
When one is still and quiet then one’s thoughts
are quiet and settled down and sometimes they are not there at all. In this mode one seems awakened and a clarity
which seems to have light, harmony and a profound happiness.
Awareness is its essence which is consciousness
which thought and other processes are energised from, not so much from the
acquired mind which is a splinter and has its own agenda and siphons off some of
the energy for its functions.
By acquired mind I mean the mind that has been
conditioned by Earthly religion, culture and politics and general life
experiences.
The essence mind has always been there, it is the
life force and it is without beginning or end.
So by the dropping of thought not by suppression or destruction that the
source resides and can be experienced.
When the clouds of thoughts subsides the blue sky
of consciousness and the original mind is apparent even in pain it is possible
to let thought subside and feel a modicum of ease and joy. When the mists of confusion clears and the
forest of doubt make a path and the fog of illusion is blown away by the
winds of change then the clear light of Life shines through and then one knows
without words, pictures or explanations what is. Should one have to question or label what is
then one is back in the fog and into delusion.
The withdrawal from the fog can be a harrowing
experience because that was taken as an unquestionable reality which now has been shattered.
The habitual mind tries vainly to gather and claw
back and make ‘Humpty Dumpty’ together again.
So the round of karma starts off again, the reincarnation which is a
continuance of habits and routines.
One solution remains; be the unbiased witness to
the process of unfolding habits and routines and by observation in a
non-judgemental fashion the process itself will reveal what is to shed and lighten
the burden of such a heavy thought load.
