The mind, as a function of consciousness is designed to find objects know the mind
"What is wanted is to know the real and the mind does not satisfy that requirement.
assume that the functioning of the mind, to express thoughts sorted, we give you the answers, but those thoughts are sorted based on the structure that we have set. "R. Malak
Al know the mind and let go of interpretive error, understanding is shown as a flash, a glow that shines on its own, revealing reality.
This
week I've been absorbed in the development of a new mode of expression. It's a real enjoyment, entertaining, making this video. Sometimes reading can not fully grasp the meaning of what is said. Pictures, music, voice ... there are many tools at our disposal to communicate through this medium. Here is the first of these videos, which as planned will be 9 in total.
We've been talking this morning and R. Malak me via chat, as we do every time we have available, driven by a passion to make this understanding it accessible. And in fact, is what has enriched my life in recent years, this has been settled more and more ... precious ... deliciously. It all begins with a text that he placed on Facebook yesterday and last night and were talking to last night, where the fatigue was stronger and had to postpone some conclusions to temporarily close the issue because there is never the last word on these issues ... and this is what we are back today.
"For most life is complex and full of conflict, often in chaos and disorder. Each day there are new and more diverse needs resetting jail. It is the mind that causes delusion, it generates a data stream ... displayed on the screen of consciousness concealing our true nature. But the instrument is more sophisticated than we have. The mind as a function of consciousness is designed to find objects, the greatest difficulty that it is also a builder of wants and needs.
In these times the simplicity of life has been dissolved by new and more sophisticated habits and lifestyles. With attention turning out live covered by the shadow of the mind, unable to distinguish the way out of conflict. The various routes open to scholars say let out of the confusion. Of these practices and theories mentioned meditation, reflection, spiritual exercises, prayers, etc.. There are others who have to mind as nonexistent, it is certain that his work is not independent, making the ways of knowing.
The conflict increases when intended by knowing the real rationality. You can not know the source through the intellect, there is no way to understand the essentials. The mind is structured to meet attributes, conditions, forms, dimensions, the duality in general. Meet the absence or presence, you can not know the knower. Experiencing that presence is consciousness, one might say that is a state of happiness, or rather is what sustains all states.
The best advice to know what is real from himself to know the function of the mind, thus being better able to avoid confusion. The mind is the shadow of consciousness, if there is light of consciousness is impossible that the walk can not be interrupted, like what to do, what you did, what are you going to do next. In summary, Make it an activity of the mind. "R. Malak
newly awakened this morning, I began to write:
Our eyes are open to the world an initial condition of silence, of unity, not differences. Pass the film under the gaze perception. Start function that is achieved apply or associate sounds, symbols, concepts, what is perceived ... language appears. Memory begins to accumulate experiences and memories interpreted ... gradually saturates this look that was free, with partial ideas, trials and assessments. So there comes a time when life begins to live only through the interpretation and conceptual thinking.
Realize is an initial spark, pure consciousness, and in an extremely subtle interpretation occurs immediately. A conscious perception immediately adds conceptual ability, as a way of capturing the meaning interpreted, with this we define our preferences. It is like putting together a house of cards the whole structure of life interpreted and projected future design of what we experience, that we do not wish rule.
The mind is a function of consciousness can grasp the experience and turn it into memory with a particular meaning assigned to it. Labeling will experience. Is used for this comparison ... which was a good feeling, placidity, is to repeat and which caused contractions, suffering, want to reject. It is a protection mechanism of the instrument, the body and identity, the ego.
then shared it for the Chat:
R. Malak: If .... so .... wrote as Maria Luisa
: Realize a
is immediately converted into concept ... and not be able to distinguish the initial awareness of the experience, the subsequent interpretation of it is done ... to be confusing to realize the idea of \u200b\u200bsomething we have experienced recently.
R. Malak: Yes, it's what I call "subjectivise life." Maria Luisa
: This is how you condition the initial fullness is becoming a constraining river swings between desire and fear. We were looking through the concepts of life that we have devised, this is to look through the mind. Forget our be essential nature of consciousness and stayed attached to the identity that has formed in our imagination.
R. Malak: Yes, the name replaces the rose pink ... and attributed her beauty concept replaces the quality of astonishment ... and feel pleasant ... is replaced by the aroma of subjectivities identificatory. Maria Luisa
: Of course. The problem that immediately concerns us is that we live a world of relationships and communication, which usually gives priority to language.
And the main thing to communicate is the language today, we can not overlook the diversity and the world where we appear to be in these relationships ... not just a look from eye to eye for communication ... mime or gesture.
R. Malak: is that diversity and differences are not overlooked in this quality of view from the non-dual, but the roll is in the ideology of them. Maria Luisa
: What I mean is that the language is still necessary and there's the whole point.
R. Malak: What is
Maria Luisa : ... it is very easy to go from a concept to name something ... attachment and the need to be right.
Back to home is simply recover the look that is before thinking, and understand how This function of the mind, the ability to make vital concepts perceptions, which is experienced, lived, living ... is a function that aims reason life. Just giving more importance to the rational that what is alive. It is feared the pain and seeks pleasure ... and this is natural for survival, but becomes confused in control of what you want to live, to be consistent with the ideologies of life that have been implemented.
R. Malak: If so
Maria Luisa : You get to give conceptual vital ego, identity, as if it consisted survive.
R. Malak: is the identification sick with ego ... it is feared that if not protected will be destroyed ... and thus life. Maria Luisa
: Exactly and that is the crux of the matter
R. Malak: When one abandons the fear of facing it ... and mechanism of the mind that is delivering alert messages consistently and repeatedly, at that moment the mind stops its automation and allows it to be seen from the eyes and consciousness (before that is impossible)
Maria Luisa : yeah, no fear
R. Malak: Not that allow or not allow ... (The bad), but the mind, which is not independent of consciousness, let your automated ... both in intellect as active and moving ...
Maria Luisa : Yes, but the question is ... How can you leave your machine?
R. Malak: mind ... is not independent of consciousness, there is the key.
observation without trial ... "Stopped the automatic
Maria Luisa: I would say that confronted with the truth, heard or read ... again and again ... comes a time when the same reason is given to the obvious
R. Malak:
noooo reason is another automatic process
emotion is another automatic process
action is another automatic process
all of the mind
Maria Luisa : wait ... understand what I say ... comes the reason ... The delivery mind
R. Malak: not the reason ... is the consciousness that takes over
Maria Luisa : Exactly, that's what I say ... the reason is left of consciousness ... consciousness takes over
R. Malak: yes, that ... if
Maria Luisa : why I say ... comes the reason ... to awareness, understanding. You see before automation.
R. Malak: to be more precise ... intellective qualities ... whether they reason, intellect ... deduction, logic, etc ... all processes of the mind, highly specialized ... are in one way or another automatic and conditioned.
And conscience, to take care of them, proceed with intelligence ... since it is a factor of conscience:
management taking
Maria Luisa : self takes over, but the same free and identification,
identification is a product of conditioning
R. Malak : The self is the self ... or consciousness in motion
Maria Luisa : exactly, the ability or skill wise, all those skills you mentioned mental intelligence ... are inherent in the human manifestation as
R. Malak: no differentiations in consciousness, which is beyond space and time ... and any description is what the Hindus call
Parabrahman Maria Luisa : well ... This is even more important that the first thing we mention, it is recognized in the pristine source prior to any movement
R. Malak: but we are only on the qualities of mind, or the self back out
Maria Luisa : if ... is that this is what you can attempt to verify the beginning ... When someone starts to not want to suffer, you must first lose the fear of seeing these automated systems, to know the mind, knowing that he puts labels function to realize and know that has multiple modes of operation. Then ... to experience the look prior to any trial ... is grasped intuitively that no real movement from which everything is known ... it's like going to take steps backward.
R. Malak: If, after learning about the mind, qualities and states.
before it is plowed into the sea
Maria Luisa : Exactly the opposite of what the search engines assume that is going to take steps forward ... Nothing to add ... but rather could be subtracted
R. Malak: I see it as follows ... the guy is in a foreign country .... The China for example. Unknown customs ... unknown language, unknown people ... the ways, habits ... the dress ... food, all is ignored. Maria Luisa
: if
R. Malak: So when you do not know the mind
is not known for their products
not know the thoughts
not know the structure
not know the constraints that drive the thinking of a way or the other.
is ignorant is exposed ... forces that move from here to there
Maria Luisa: And just that you say of a baby who still does not know the structures of the social world that begins to live?
know ... I'm realizing that the baby, and is protected (your body, your life) by the parents ... can live the fullness of innocence, which then add up the ways it structured to move in society and be self-valent.
The problem is later, when attached to the modes of the structure he learned to use
R. Malak: live in the world .... of duality ... ignoring their origin
Maria Luisa : automatically learning a ... that does not support other forms ... that's how you separate the warring societies and enter
But ... also the case that comes to this life ...
acquired tendencies passions ... subconscious desires ... they bid to stay afloat ... for example ... some are dominant and others dominated, some serve to guide and others for guidance. The plot is complex conforms to the individual in a family ... out different characters between the brothers, even if the education received is the same
R. Malak: Yes it is. Everything is explained in this way ...
Explains ... but not enough ... is necessary for everyone to live ... the question ... from the self ... if it is not just a theory. Maria Luisa
: we are tapping a kind of journey back from the evening look at automatic mind you do not know ... to the origin of that mind, a source that is our essence, consciousness itself that supports the work of the mind. And not only that ... but the whole complex range of emotional and character drives, passions emerge looking through every speech. Power
view, in a friendly and aware, to avoid being drawn into the shadows,
but walking on his own and in any case that the shadow will follow you.
R. Malak: if
Maria
Luisa , and even beyond this life to walk ... is the one who wishes to recognize its essence as the only wish ... recognized as the Parabrahman,
all ... that is no longer the least bit worried or how to proceed to move the statement.
R. Malak: This map .... should be explaining step by step.
This is like the instruction guide that comes with electronic products, you have to go page by page reading ... and moving process by process. Failure to do so ...
people feel extremely confused ...
and may not leave the maze ... by not well read the output map.
Most power the device and not explained why you can not know what the matter since ignored instructions
Maria Luisa: If
R. Malak: confused by follow the last instruction, begin to read the Readiness to learn how to gather the letters of the kinder garden ... and then they want to do ....
atomic bomb
Maria Luisa: I'm clear what you say ... is very serious
R. Malak: If I wanted to be very accurate ... say ...
Meet mind ... and you're on the verge of carrying voice, but still have to cross the threshold.
Maria Luisa : How well ... beautiful ... is very accurate:)
Later someone asked: Ask, "CROSSING THE THRESHOLD IS GIVEN OR IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE TO DO TO CROSS?
To this I replied:
Malak I asked what he meant by that and told me that everything done is of the mind and that "cross the threshold" is a poetic way of referring to what is beyond phenomenal, that is, recognize your real nature.
last week and are the memories of yesterday lived two concepts as they dance before my eyes: Understanding. Understand. So start giving a breakdown of meaning.
understand, and reasoning ability to organize around a theme.
understand, and realizing it, become one with the object of attention.
Understanding requires
know the meaning of concepts and at what point.
Understanding implies empathy with some aspect or issue without having to build an argument about it.
The understanding allows dissect an issue and make a lot of words, descriptions, inferences and reasoning.
Understanding can remain silent simply embracing a situation, a stillness that comprises, includes notes without trial.
Understanding is linear. The understanding places no limits.
The understanding can reach a point when it comes to deep questions about the reality of being, which fails to set the tone on the sacred infinitude of the Divine. And then you may be going transcends understanding, the realization of the ineffable and indescribable. Understanding can occur in an instant, like a flash, without a rational process and not rely on memory products.
In my conversations with R. Malak, and are consistent and regular basis and converted into a practice Daily, I often like walking a tightrope.
Like two opposing samurai swordsmen or sharpening the dagger of self-knowledge, he is concerned with moving from side to side to achieve the balance that allows you to walk with ease on the tightrope of the expression of the essential. As can be seen in the specification that I just about these two concepts, comprehend and understand, "I'm fascinated by words and use them to convey something deep inside me moves. In this "turn to" ... look inside, listen to what is covered and content, latent, wanting to be lighting. Ideas flit, feelings, memories, impressions and emotions that are stained with them and need to be dropped, released, expressed.
What makes a volcano? Dump all their fiery contents. It can be fascinating to watch from afar a rash, but is devastating if you're at his side. And that's how I noticed that my face many times burn the wings of the birds that try to take their first flight near me. This worried me, and observing the ability of R. Malak, I'm finding some fascinating ways that can accommodate that is just opening the eyes, dazzle with some lights directly ahead of time, which can burn your retinas.
But something happens to me in these discussions. And not in terms of skills on the outside or the expression ... but about the very understanding. The linearity of thought can form an endless wire, as if a fisherman's line is infinite. Catch a fish, a concept, some way, and the line gets caught in it, and then stretched and stretched, tensions the cord may be enduring. There comes a time when discerning sound, which produces a blurring strain, because after all, the intention of catching the fish Truth, is unable to do so. The attention is engaged, and despite a lot of insight, understanding does not occur, and what happens is a wear and dulling. Drop the cane hurts so carefully has worked, when faced with the impossibility of so much pretension to Embrace the Truth with reason. The leaves dulling the senses, reason, and all capacity for empathy, as void, is a prison, a hypnotic situation where communication soon becomes impossible.
... ... ... ... ... ... ...
some ancient sages have said that the discernment Goldthorn serves to remove the thorn wood ignorance itself, but once this is done, removed the initial confusion, we must release both bones, and therefore have no use or meaning.
Another analogy with regard to use of a wooden stick to stir the embers. In the fire of understanding, to keep it alive, we use the rational discrimination suit, but once consumed the coals, the stick is released in burning them to finish.
... ... ... ... ...
Many search for years a clearly offering the certainty of what can be called as true, which is totally real. Behind studies, practices, teachers, lectures, and yet having perhaps arrived at maturity, hanging like a fruit tree diversity has not been charged enough this fruit to fall to the floor of the longed-understanding.
For these fruits on condition of softness, sweetness, and proper maturity, it's sat guru, and gives them the bite where finally the last lock to the confusion is annihilated. Satguru, the Sanskrit word for pure knowledge of Himself, whether in the form of teacher as outsider, or as either the own knowledge of Himself which rises in the candidate who is ready to release the last crust or skin : the idea of \u200b\u200bseparate self.
... ... ... ... ... ....
answer, with complete detachment of the cherished concepts, given the conceptual vacuum in the silent embrace of understanding, vertigo occurs as a delicacy, release and letting go into lit expansion of a diluted mind. Exquisite display of pure knowledge, which knows nothing of himself. As the wave that made its way into the ocean water was provided. Some waves gently dissolve, others burst at the edge of the limits, beyond repair.
As sleep happens without one it proposed, state of absolute rest, where nothing is known ... also happens to delivering essential knowledge. Liberation and total relief of all stress, that no state where there is only knowledge, not something, but as the absolute brightness of the power that allows us to know. A witnessing that was always there, shining all conscious contents, such as a flashlight in the darkness of a deposit is marking and highlighting all that is stored. The mind darkens, shade the whole produced the dual contrasts.
Yesterday Malak I described it as a window or a mirror. A window with clear glass, you can observe the diversity of the exterior, the street, landscape, people who pass through the pedestrian walkway. This glass, suddenly faced with a sudden situation of total introspection, it becomes a mirror, and when night falls and no one can grasp the content of external world, the senses are only for internal content. This mind, as a window of knowledge, shimmers, allowing the glow of light that comes from within, and reflects only my own image: light of knowledge ... and there ... it absorbs all the movement that was variable in reality permanent to be what we know , dissolved the image, dissolved the duality, not a separate entity, but the very light of pure knowledge, as Being-Consciousness dump complete happiness.
What I am writing today is the result of a deep soft interaction (which moved many contents of my understanding) lived in three hours Sunday with R. Malak talks given at different times day, and it was with this text that closed the busy day Malak:
" My ways are not theoretical descriptions fatten the mind, are foods that are to be consumed immediately, may not be combined, resemble the consuming fire, unstable and difficult to understand. Gather information seems important, but is in the books, there are thousands of them very well written. The words plant seeds that one day sprout in various plants producing flowers and fruits different, but it takes time, and it is time to cut the joints with the conceptual structures that keep us trapped and imprisoned ideas. The Self is different from that mentioned as you or me. The mind, as a function of consciousness, divides, makes judgments. All as manifestations is the only existence, this is a knowledge which he consumes read. The mind is complicated by reflections about the indescribable, and has no other choice of mirrors and stop being transparent to the gaze of Himself. When this occurs beyond their own boundaries and is lost in the light that is reflected in an endless harmony and intelligence. "R. Malak.
spent the night, the new day, and everything is crystal displays. After being placed on the grill of the penetrating inquiry, my dear concepts are cooked over low heat, and out of my hands, delivered, given, released today ... and I have resumed with another provision, a lighter open, loose for share this very exciting it is, first understand and then be pure understanding.
I made many trips and met many amazing places in this world. Caribbean beaches, towns and metropolitan cities exceedingly primitive splendor. Mountains, valleys, rivers, rain, snow, desert ... but lately I greatly enjoy the tranquility of being at home and make a case becomes exciting only to the extent that means going back to meet with the family. The geography of the planet is really wonderful, and when I get some pps with beautiful images, both natural and landscape works majestic architecture, I love to creativity and created no further need to look at the pictures and evoke the beauty in myself.
The world is vast and infinite as not to show their treasures, and yet, like a magic trick, our view of it can change and sometimes appear as something terrible, that threatens us. Both geography and the actions of men are both givers of beauty and horror. Just imagine to prove it, a hurricane or earthquake, a popular revolt or advancing troops, blue crystal beach or humanitarian relief efforts. Contrasts that have been around since I can remember.
This makes me see the world as we know, as the total set of territories, countries, peoples and societies on the planet's geography, there are two simultaneous movements, both in constant change and transformation.
- nature movement : The geography, natural world, biological, chemical, from stones, plants, animals to the closest thing is our body.
- The movement of men history to be putting together step by step with actions of individuals and social groups.
For some, regardless of world events and natural or historical interpret or how good or terrible, personal life in today's comfortable and even generous in abundance. For others it is full of problems, deficiencies and situations risk.
In a world that moves in both natural and historical, are constant hazards, and as a means of forecasting for the protection of life, body and our extended families or social, will forming structures, ideologies, and mindsets that are shared are the social collective. With one look a little sketchy, even to illustrate, note that while each individual with particular needs to fit into the ideological machinery, is participatory and not precede its own survival to that of others, being the partner as a bee in her hive, social group moves in line and prepared for contingencies. But when there is competition for power and dominance, is when societies live under the subjugation of the strongest and most powerful, undermining many expressive possibilities that are always potentially in humans. Hence the personal or collective ego can go from being a positive and creative tool to be destructive and producer of unhappiness and conflict.
There conditions given and shown as inevitable and there views that we can see, using a sensitive alertness, which are optional. If we review these issues in depth, it is possible to realize it yourself. This is a scheme that has helped show me what I see in this regard.
Conditions
conditions force us to live (interact) the world in a certain way.
geographical conditions How is the natural situation in the environment. Are you in a situation where survival is possible or is at risk of life?
social condition, education, cultural, economic and political:
the country or town where born, the family that we grow, the society in which we move, the education they receive, the prevailing culture, economic or political situation of the moment, if we have been loved or rejected, that shape the individual and is determined.
Physical Condition: A healthy body or genetic defects, or problems due to disease, accident or natural decay by age.
psychological condition: In this affects the genetic and acquired characteristics from birth, or affect or traumatic psychic impressions that are not covered by the person marking.
Under the conditions of formation of beliefs, morals, habits. It is forming a personality and mentality.
The view relates to the mood or attitude toward the given conditions.
The view is directly dependent on how or how much is involved understanding the facts and beliefs that are held, whether there is ability to see the events and conditions in an impartial manner, allowing the emergence of intelligence look essential or filtered through the mind is structured. The emotional and dependent relationship with structures, ideologies, projections and all that has shaped the mental conditioning to life, directly affects the enjoyment of happiness or suffering to the frustration.
The things we are forced. Situations and will give everyone the will to live. Usually we are sure that many natural and historical events are completely beyond our control or responsibility. However, many others we own, we become responsible, the load on the shoulders, either as fault or merit. In any case, the situations are, and once given, are as they are. It must live them, like it or not. For some, a situation can be beneficial, while the same can be harmful to others. Depends on how you judge if it is to benefit or disadvantage.
The world is in constant motion and change, whether by nature or by history of events. Nothing remains intact. In this sense, trying to maintain stable, fixed structures that we have accepted about life, as ideologies, it is counterproductive when it no longer fit with the given natural conditions. It is common sense, which is not as abundant indeed, to see how fair any idea, and see how it affects our relationship with the facts. Find happiness what is changing and transitional, offers satisfying moments certainly, but is subject to traffic to happen in every situation, this happiness and not find its raison d'etre. A joy throughout the changing sustained suffering happens.
The river of life that is based on the satisfaction of the ideals, in their affections, in achieving goals, obtaining resources, the knowledge, a vacation or a trip , has two sides: the pleasure and pain.
The feeling and interpretation of my situation and how I feel: happy or unhappy, full or miserable, depending on how I live I take as a burden or not. Apart from what is the immediate situation for me, maybe the way I feel vary much depending on my expectations or disappointments either the present situation, the past or the future that I imagine and hope.
The interpretation of events is not really in the hands of the person when it is driven by the conditions, that is, conditioned by the acquired views and wishes. This is directly related to the beliefs that have shaped their view of life, and the ability to understand things as they are and the reality of being or not involved in them.
The world and life, as considered external events, we want to move ... and we like it or not. At the same time, internal developments, which are abundant in the richness of the psyche, which also often move in a circular, unexplored and misunderstood. This is the movement of the desires that drive us to do, based on our intimate images of expectations or blame. When these movements, external and internal - agree there is no conflict and no conflict, no peace or happiness. When the movement of world and life does not match the desire, there is frustration, conflict and suffering.
reflect and look closely at it I certainly recognize that every human being, the primary need, apart from the natural obligation to ensure their survival, is the fullness. Call it happiness, love and peace ... that is what we all want, what we have in mind or not, that's what motivates all seeking in life.
sublime desire Against this common to all the conditions are given and supported structures, which are as varied as the people there, and show also varied desires. These desires make proposals that are little costumes that distract from the real purpose that drives us always, fullness, and deceive us into believing that the achievement of certain goals find happiness as a product. Conditioning, which initially might have the intention of protecting, it becomes a situation that confuses and mesmerizes when we consider the practical aspect of all learning, experience, structure or acquisition, to become an end in itself.
Happiness is not a product that is sought, if so would be as impermanent as everything in this world. On the other hand, discover that happiness is our real nature that is displayed every time there is total understanding and acceptance of a given, with everything that composes it, both in appearance and in the roots that have generated, thus ending the conflict, is the gateway to begin to see and understand clearly, free of hypnosis produced by the mind that judges. It is when he suddenly discovers the background in mind that we dare to call true fulfillment. The right to be aware.
Why the difficulty of knowing that always know what we are essentially ?
Malak the other day gave me a phrase to ponder its meaning: "Knowledge is always there ... the path points to dissolve the obstacles that prevent this knowing look."
Knowledge, by itself, is essential consciousness. Before self-definition, it is known. Always know that in essence ... we are. I always know I am, needless to say or remind. I know that Being is identical with consciousness, and beyond that, nothing and nothing. This is the absolute knowledge. Knowledge of self is deeply quiet and lacks nothing in itself, in terms of knowledge of self. In him the fullness and emptiness are identical, it is full of himself and void of any limitation. When not lacking, it is full, or even the word happiness needs to be pronounced.
Every talent finds its expression, the infinite colors to forget the ravages of the mind, as the living water of beauty comes from the heart without beginning or end. Time does not stop it, is the light itself, which presents its e XPRESSION well as their search, as you drink it transforms the diversity that Is It turns out that I am not the body nor the mind and love of self is the demonstration. Thus it seems that the essence is expressed, it is true that a witness that his light shines the illusion of external objects. R. Malak
How I can describe the fact that I seem to be somewhat limited and separate?
appears as self-expression an emanation in consciousness, as being in time and space, which is called: BIRTH. Born into the world and the world born in the self, as a multitude of conscious contents: COLLECTION. Body-mind-emotions as a tool of expression and perception ... receives and gives. And so it accommodates the REGARD , between self and other, between what I am and if it, in countless expressions Consciousness. This deployment is made possible because of the way they move and relate the content aware in a motion and order function called MIND, generating multiple contained in Unity of consciousness that I am, I see that I know. is made possible duality of perceptions in the non-duality of Being
My name (your name, names)
all know: I am. Is to ask: Who are you, that the answers appear. I'm John, I'm Maria, I'm Esther, we respond. The name they gave us, when we learned to associate, was clearly a word that I pointed out to me ... maybe the first two or three years, there was no rational discussion about exactly what he was naming with that word, Mary. The parents we see in our babies, usually not to be essential and indescribable, but a beloved creature with a hair, color of eyes, a way to laugh or to get attention, characterizing it. See also our expectations of all that this baby would be, in our desire, destined to do and achieve. With the name that we are designating a person, a little body, character and everything we hope for their future.
Dads they name him a little person who dreams that will meet your expectations. But the self, someone who is experiencing feelings of being in this world, only takes a name for himself.
How is centered consciousness
The little boy is, "when I was little, despite the constant surprise neat of my eyes, I heard only one name you should respond in this world to socialize was: Maria Luisa. And that was simple once assumed. Then time passes and begin to associate my name with the image in the mirror my body. Little by little ... my perception was filled with a way to view call: me and I'm world. Maria, this body, and everything I have to do. And that's when I forget ... not really forget, but I cover my whole person expression, which at first was just a constant discovery of shapes, sounds, textures, smells, tastes, touch, hunger, pain and pleasure, but still no name. I begin to learn names and manage a skill: reason. Over my innocence, right. Between games and hours of grooming, meals and sleep, I start going to school where I teach ... and I think are the "correct thought." Well, a story common to billions, right? Well, we overlook how important it is to see how this happens. With this process we lost the ability to surprise at every moment and enjoy it without effort, to live a life of ideas cloudy. And it is true that many of them are intended to learn to socialize, learn to move through space knowing protect our body, but many also set a record, a structure through which to judge everything we experience.
By giving to the ideas and thinking all the power, originality and wiped out the supposed truths written in newspapers, books, say the commentators, politicians ... or statements Play at home, or neighbor, or teacher on duty. Then to the contradictions between them, without knowing how or why, I must take sides. It seems that for defining, understanding and understand anything, I have to buy a way of thinking about everything. And I dress in a suit outside.
So when it comes to wanting the understanding of the essence, just guess I have to acquire some ideas to think about it. begin to investigate "who I am" through words, because I guess any idea what I am essentially expressed. This, to staunch the form, perhaps for years has practiced yoga, meditation, esoteric experiences, etc., And intends to go beyond words through experience, remains a stumbling block. The reason is always present, for the simple "reason" that is a potential in our form of expression: the human. Why is a stumbling block, a hindrance? For thought, as well as Descartes said, there's only because I am. And we overlook the fact that I am what I see the thoughts, therefore, no thought I can define. So when I do not think, no doubt emerges.
always "know that I am" ... and I can never define exactly and accurately "what is" what I am. believe in what defines me is to remain veiled under the mesmerizing influence of thought. So when the ideas are now so entrenched that it is difficult to remove the roots, is brave dare to question them, and above all, is invaluable to be able to ask if I think I am, I really am. Hence, the signal: where they come from is the first thought I .
in spiritual inquiry, the reason is not lost, is used deliberately, in a way alert and awake, with all his strength, but not dominate us. Use discernment and allow reasonable to show, without giving the value of being true. Applied with emotion and other benefits of the essence, we cleared the way for a trial free from observation, which shows itself as the background of all ideas, experience and emotion. And here it I remain as I have always been in which transcends time, space and every birth or death.
And for another day to figure out why I have no experience you have can not define who I am. But this advancement: I am what I presence of experience, just as I thought that presence.
who wants to know what he is. What "thing" is that? That ... "" what he is. Having discarded the body and any emotion as things that can define, is ruled out any thought, objects that refer to "what" he is. And if you discard all thought ... what could be the answer to what he is? It is easy to see that any response is a thought. If, for example say I'm the immortal soul ... what I mean? Do not be needed throughout a speculative development to respond?
The fire in a fireplace is always fire, and love, caught our attention ... thousands of forms are happening there, a constant movement and yet is always fire and nothing else. So fast, yet so quiet.
Stillness and movement, no matter how you take ... are supported in this awareness. Just the observer, observed and is just pure observation ... absorbed in itself. And yet it still remains .
At first it seems that it has joined the observer to the observed ... then discover that there were never two, apart from the mental interpretation. And this interpretation in turn is like fire ... thoughts like flames dancing in the consciousness that observes.
Thus the universe ... a dance of explosions and more explosions ... the supreme masterpiece, the mystery unfolded.
Maria Luisa:
I'm sticking my notes as they go out it is a day of writing.
R. Malak:
Think about it you will place ... that's what we talked a few days ago.
Maria Luisa:
to see.
R. Malak:
knowledge is always there ... the path points to dissolve the obstacles that prevent this knowledge to display.
Maria Luisa:
could also be like ... not knowing is always there ... and El appears to know everything that must be known at every moment.
R. Malak:
No, knowledge is always there ... is not something that is impermanent.
Maria Luisa:
Knowledge understood as pure consciousness.
R. Malak:
So ... is not a product.
Maria Luisa:
However, when an object is not known, or knowledge held ... there is nothing to know.
Knowing is latent and is identical to not know. It's like ... that are held in silence sounds. Sounds familiar and you say ... is listening. But when there are no sounds, since these are intermittent and sometimes do not come ... there is only silence and nothing to hear, however, is latent to listen.
R. Malak:
Explain
Maria Luisa:
is always light ... but if there is an object that is reflected, the light is not seen.
Knowledge is always, as the possibility of knowing.
However, in deep sleep ... What do we know?
There is nothing to know, do not even need to know, since there is not not know ... I mean, no doubt.
Hence .... know that the precious, treasured, this appearance as an object that reflects light ... not want to lose.
Beingness like myself illuminated by light, ie the self that appears as the knower, is the opportunity to know himself, not to the projection, but on introspection. But no single point of beingness .... there is neither extroversion and introspection .... latency only, the power still ... immanent ... without having exploded.
All these retired to his chores and I wonder if the thickness is due to reflection or that he was raving. I know I left thinking to build my weekly newspaper text. I realize the density of these reflections but I can not avoid. I understand that he asked me to meditate, or overhaul of the meaning of the Knowledge (of itself) is always there, and the path (of spiritual research we are proposing) is to dissolve the barriers that seem to prevent this knowledge is see so clearly.
When I enter into this thicket of reflection, the words are poured and poured, as the water from a bottle without a lid lying on the parched desert sand. In so thick, they can only be absorbed in the moment before the dry ground swallow them forever. More would be a little lighter in the expressions but again, it seems that I can not help. I do not feasible to stop the spilling spontaneous expression alone, like light, like water, like fire.
is true that the Saber (which I am) ... is always ... more ... still not understood as pure consciousness is nothing other than Being itself. We all know that we are, although they vary tremendously concepts about "what" we are. Who's out there wondering who I am? Only loquillo who have questioned what they tell us our ideas imposed. Friendly call to all those intense little crazy genius able to question the course. Returning to the subject: "the path points to dissolve the obstacles that prevent this knowing look." Well, ignoring the recommendation, I will come to meditate on this subject.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ....
Past the time, I realize I have repeated ad nauseam the subject, and as a task becomes obliged to make myself think that the issue is not something I emerge with spontaneity, therefore I am obliged to leave here a few extracts, and below, the link to our Web page, which has more than enough signals, in my view, expressing again and again the bottom line of this issue. And ended by saying that the path is not a process that leads to something new, but a way of looking back toward the source that has never been lost. Awareness is essential to know how I am and that spills over into joy, expressed as gratitude, joy, peace, beauty, creativity, spontaneous expression of "the thousand suns of existence" (a poetic metaphor ... I do not know what it means, but I like .)
"R. Malak: People have an inherent divinity, the essential nature of each and every one, and one is divine. This not known due to trends implanted to keep the vehicle (body), resulting in ignorance and confusion. In their ignorance, all, or most identify with the body, mind and emotions. To transcend these expressions (not delete), becomes one to be recognized in the Absolute, which is pure bliss. "(Non-Dual Glow 6.4)
" R. Malak: The lost sense their work, their relationships or the principles that sustain life, begins to question whether there is an authentic way that gives meaning and explanation to be viable, or mode of access to true happiness. The Nonduality may appear at first as a theoretical philosophy and not as an experience immediate and accurate. But even in that case is at least as a map or a signal. Observation without trial ... it becomes a possible path that can only be discovered doing it. "(Non-Dual Glow 21.14)
I read all the Harry Potter books and enjoyed like a child, delighted with every adventure. I particularly remember two anecdotes that can treat me to communicate later something I find very difficult to pose. One day he happens newcomers children, students of magic, had to learn to fly on their brooms. Teacher's instructions were simple: ride on her broom, and ... give a kick to fly! Without preparation, without preliminary, theories .... And there were all ... flew smoothly. The other story is when older ones should learn to disappear. Nor was theoretical instruction, only had to "do it." This cost a little more, so they had to try many times and running the risk of losing a member of the body on each trial. I leave this here and see you later allegory and rescued him as a reference.
These days we have been talking with R. Malak about a feature of the mind, the operator. "As people naturally do not express ourselves and surrender to the automation of the mind, processes, customs, ways and learned, the issues identified."
Many times, we mentioned that we consider the mind a function of consciousness whose specification is to present the dual, the comparison measures. Trials. And that is the construction of a personal self that moves in linear time, in three dimensional space of an everyday world where the schemes, paradigms, systems, organized to provide a virtual sense of existence. Just like a computer software. This feature is systemic management including the development of a DNA strand, or as the traditional construction of a brick structure ... the foundations first, then the columns, beams then occasionally a bow and hence the trusses that support upper floors. The whole mechanism to form these structures (world, planetary systems, bringing me to the macro, or atoms, molecules, cells, organs, bringing me to micro) is an automatically generated consciousness: the mind. And their bases are universal laws required as a prerequisite for the construction of this universe and this world.
"The mind is there ... There is no staff to do, is pure automation. When you look at it is assumed: "I do" and continues to believe that this is proper. "R. Malak
when he himself is projected" out "in a world, This whole mechanism is working to give a sense of reality. In fact the body (biological organism) is the first system in which the self defines itself as a pivot within the fabric of the world where "I come to exist." That is why blood is pumped and flows in the veins, the digestive system is responsible for feeding, excretory system plays its tricks, the senses are operating to receive signals, the brain receives impressions nerve and translates them into images and sensations, the endocrine system is responsible for presenting and releasing hormones into the circulatory system generating the experience of emotions, feelings, and so the whole unit is pre-organic, in spite of that I feel or believe I have a will on him.
What I try to describe is the instrument of expression, the body body-mind-emotions. But expression of what? Of fumes and manifestation of Himself through the instrument of conscience. Awareness that captures and holds, as a background medium, the entire fabric to make them all the experiences to be experienced. This instrument is a mechanism of conscious energy, where each part is related to other parties, such as a web mesh.
"Knowing how the mind is vital. While not known, believed, assumed, that is to be master of life, when only one is in the automatic version.
L to mind is working on a permanent basis and you think that is the thinker, when in fact it is identified with thought. This happens until you realize that thought and its chain of data is running automatically. People usually do not realize that automation is the mind.
There are several ways in which we represent how the mind automatically moves Satva, Rajas and Tamas. (Mind pure dormant mind, active mind) Persons not realize that these three features remain automatic alternate ways. "R. Malak
A pure mind, quiet, still mind. Its purity and tranquility can not be permanent. The functional feature of the mind is moving, generated by time, space, different feelings, that does not leave much time to pass. This work is submerged for a while, but then reappears, always there whether active or latent. The scholars have mentioned frequently a metaphor that says that the moon is clearly seen in a well of calm waters and clean, is not the moon but its reflection. What to look her directly.
What does this mean? Well, the question is to realize that Your Excellency's mind, noting that both its purity, its lethargy and its activity. That is permanent, is here now and we should not reach it, or wait to be revealed. It is showing at every moment. The waiting, expectation, purpose, setting a goal, the time ... that's all part of mental automatism. No way out of it by means of that system to continue to believe in time and achievement. And he asked, then how? Well simple: kicks the ground and fly!
I will recover the simile in the history of H. Potter. Children magicians, by their nature, are magicians. For just as the Self is conscious and aware, and this is its nature ... realize permanently. Not be achieved to realize. It is. What made them fly to the little wizards was the delivery and confidence in the instruction of their teacher.
"Do not aim to control the identity. Ours is rid of it and live what we really are. We are not the identity but we live like her and know the tool we use. By ignoring it works on automatic and thus prevents the instrument body is broken by carelessness or negligence. There are a number of instincts, habits, behaviors, processes, ways that make the instrument automatically moves and protected. These processes are directed by the law of karma or causality, which establishes general laws for this operation is not too ego-and leaves behind the constraints that govern life and can even be inherited from parents to children. "R. Malak
What happens is that the mind is like a language taster of delicacies but also ruled out bad tastes, and is behind the constant desire of pleasure. This is its constructive role. However, their dual nature and has its opposite constructive as destructive. And pleasure-seeking, reject the unwanted experience producing suffering. The search for a permanent pleasure, call it "la vie en rose of realization", is pointing to a myth, a utopia produced by the mental illusion. In contrast, the permanent peace joy and happiness that are not searched - because it is - it is appreciated when looking from Himself, knowing that the mind is there, presenting alternatives, but not caught in them.
Again and again, the habit of being an identity, formed by the data memory and the ongoing automation of the mind that develops and seeks to protect the ego, produce the appearance of something solid, it looks finite and vulnerable the perfection of an experience of wholeness. This automatic habit transcends recognize the nature of mind itself. View of mind, knowing that I am neither the purity or turbidity, I'm not such a vulnerability that appears so real, it is seen from what I've always been. Although attention is drawn like a magnet to the mechanical movements of ideas, feelings, emotions, and again back to the source is like the student's disappearing act advanced magic. (Simile) If the person is seen as an image that has no life of its own apart from that the Go is the disappearance of opposites that define me, doubts, fears and hopes. Or as we called with R. Malak: Observation without trial. And it always ended with Be Awareness ... ... and do not forget: Congratulations is experienced in this world that does not belong, but we are by the way, apparently we are. Temporarily people who are seen in the eternity of Being Because no two, not many, no mind ... everything is itself, really like undifferentiated stream of consciousness.
