Healing with Mind 2 of 2 2003, 02/19 If we ever are to have some good reliable answers we have to first understand this thing we call Mind or consciousness. Are we willing to ask some hard questions? Challenge the status quo? Keep going even when told we are wrong and half-baked by those who think they know better? You bet!! From my voracious reading I've come to appreciate Cayce, Keely and Russell. These guys had it right. There are others too such as Carpenter, Macvicar, Steiner and similar. Because Russell wrote so much so clearly in modern English I'm relying on him more than the others right now. As far as I've been able to determine there is ONE Mind manifesting in inifinite varieties of phenomena. This One Mind has two prime states: Quiet (still thought) and Active (active thinking). The Quiet Mind is sometimes called the Whole Mind and is that portion of consciousness we use when we KNOW something. Intuition and other gut feeling type thoughts come from here. The Egoic or Active Thinking mind is sometimes referred to as the Body Mind or Sensing Body Mind. Most of us are seemingly trapped into using only the Thinking Body Mind and only on rare ocassions access the Whole Mind. Jesus and Buddha, for examples, achieved a state of Mind same as the Whole Mind and we have called this achievement "Enlightenment" to Cosmic Consciousness or Christ Consciousness. The process of achieving this Higher state of Mind or Consciousness is sometimes called "awakening" or "enlightenment". Geniuses access this Whole Mind more than the rest of us. (PS: Nothing I'm writing here has anything whatsoever to do with religions. This is purely a scientific approach to Mind and/in Matter.) The Thinking Mind is caught up in the active material world. It is the Thinking or active aspect of this thinking mind that is the material world. Noise. Chatter. Stress. Chaos. This thinking mind is dominated by concepts of Time and Space. This mind sees everything as individuated centers isolated from each other. It lives in constant fear. The Whole Mind is the Still Mind the mystics and Great Teachers speak of. In this Whole Mind there is no Time or Space. Everything IS perfect, harmonic, whole and One with everything else. It lives in Love and does not know, cannot know, fear. We are sick and subject to chaos because we believe the lie of the material world. That everything is separate, isolated and doomed by Time and Space. When we achieve the mental state of Whole Mindedness none of these things exist in that mind and its belief system and therefore do not apply. Life Eternal and Peace Profound result. That is it in a nutshell. As for application (HOW) one can attain any desired degree of Peace and Harmony by controlling the body mind thinking or egoic thinking. Still the outer thinking to where there is only non-thinking KNOWING. Takes practice and application. The best method is through meditation which quiets the noisy and chaotic thinking. In other words stress is released because stress is caused by our thinking. Quiet the thinking and peace results. Dieing is buried deep into our memories. As is the concept of Time and Space. Illness and dieing is embedded in our thinking and belief systems but may be released through letting go of any and all fears born of the false ideas generated by outer thinking. Sound too simple? Try it. It may sound simple but the application of meditation to achieve Peace Profound takes consistent practice. Not many are able to release their addiction to fear, chaos and bodily sensation to let go of them. But even a modicum of success with meditation (quieting the outer thinking) can bring marvelous results. |
