During my years as a psychotherapist, counsellor
and healer as well as teaching Judo, Aikido, Kendo and Tai chi with Qi Gong
along with Forensics and travelling many miles to do 670 workshops and
countless one to one sessions it maybe apparent that I picked up many tales,
stories, intrigues and much to contemplate, ruminate and generally mull over.
Meditation was the foundation to keep some sort of awareness and not get lost
or give up on humanity, sanity and despair for many of the populace and world
leaders.
Many who came to my horizon were like tumbleweed,
they had minds like tumbleweed almost as if the synapses and neurones were
entangled, messed up and a skein of entangled warp and weft (sometimes named
woof) of intermingled messed up yarn. I
know this because I have experienced this and through meditation and many years
of it particularly in my early teens the sharp awareness to gaze without
distraction kind of sorted out the tangles and enmeshments. As a therapist I
did not even try or communicate with many who came and I did energy healing which
often just produced anger, shouting and screaming.
Tumbleweed rolls and flays about and I could sense
and feel the torment of a tangled mind. A messed up scrambled process and the
person desperately endeavouring to get some sort of grip on the terror,
nightmares, the voices and pains which beset them. Nothing made sense and
madness took over.
In a way we are all to some extent like this; on a very
basic level those who follow a football team and go to fight and sometimes kill
the opposite supporters and break shops and cafe's. Those in religions who kill
and fight even those of the same faith but follow a slightly different
interpretation of the holy books, family feuds, relationship break up’s,
homophobia, paedophilia and so many other quirks such as necrophilia and so on,
satanic black magic, sadomasochism and all that, this I saw, smelt and felt in
Forensics and much more.
Then we come to persons who come to the UK or
anywhere else where their females are covered up in public and then coming to
the UK they may see scantily dressed females and there have been many rapes and
attacks as the are classed as whores in their native land and so are despised
and assaulted often by words but far more in some cases. I investigated with
the team some cut up female bodies that were parcelled up and posted around the
UK UK UK
This then comes back to ‘we are only what have been have
taught by our customs, culture, religion, politics, life experiences, trauma and so on’ very few question
who am I without my education, brain washing and free thought outside the box.
Can I leave the safety net of the known and live with a sparse known? The word skein as above has another meaning,
it can mean birds that fly in a V formation and like religion, politics and our
cultural adherence we make the herd our safety anyone going over a certain
degree of pendulum swing, the degree and line of tolerance becomes ostracised, marginalised and minimised.
The words mind set are so apt ‘set in concrete’
such are our beliefs which form our identities and we dare not break into the
concrete, it is firm, a foundation, a fortress against another fortress. So we
are unstoppable in our pursuit of gathering new members to the clan mind set
after all safety in numbers.
Looking at the men who dismembered their daughters
and the mind torn by trauma, drugs, accidents, horror and torture and becomes a
tumbleweed rolling over in mad hallucinations, nightmares and loneliness one is
said to be mad and the other murderer’s. In
a way both are mad to another’s culture, in some societies the tumbleweed's are
said to be inhabited by devils, demons. Some can be healed by prayer and other
means, some will be executed, some will be locked away in asylums and the some
sent to prison for life.
In a way as long as people are ‘taught who they
are and will become’ there is very little freedom and scope to question and get
back to original ‘Me / I’ and scary because there is no concrete, there is no security
of a solid or perceived foundation. So
in a way all mind sets are ‘fake’ because they are genetically hand me downs
mind sets. Some may enquire if there is no mind set what are you? A vegetable, a wandering homeless nobody, the great unwashed and unkempt. One who comes to this 'no mind' finds a consciousness of compassion and is in tune with the Universal Mind Set.
Native communities that are really almost
completely out of touch with Western Education and mind sets do have mind sets
of forest or jungle spirits and they are mainly to do with their connection
with Earth and natural healing and the deep Shamanistic essence which is very well
suited for their purpose. Yes they do have community however it is benign most
of the time and they have their ways of mediation. It’s not perfect yet it works,
there are tribal wars occasionally but they have the sense of co operation
otherwise the jungle and forest if raped and owned will not support their
ancient lifestyles. We in the West burn, scorch, hoard and fight and are
reluctant to share, our mind sets set us apart.
Then there are a rare set of minds that have a
mind set that is clear and they have reached the no mind no mind set, this is
pure awareness, they do have a basic survival mind set, enough to survive in
the world. They maybe found anywhere in any mind set, they are in the set but
not of it.
My wish and desire is to be as above in the no
mind set and to keep my awareness sharp as naturally as possible so as
not form a dogma of having a no mind no mind set and set this as a belief and
then become the identity I feel will build a construct and defeat the purpose
of the article.
