The Mystic of 'MY MIND' 7


It is quite easier to define the meaning of ‘non-duality’ through a simile, without gesture. Imagine ‘the sky hidden by clouds of different shapes’. These clouds constantly whirl and change their shapes, and it is only when they disperse and disappear then one can see the blue sky again. The sky does not move or change. ‘The sky analogizes the brain’, and sometimes ‘hidden by clouds of thoughts’. The sky is permanent and always untouched; the clouds are transitory/ momentary/ temporary, coming and going view. THERE is a 'DEFINITE ZERO EXISTENCE' outsite the brain.

Thoughts, ‘people and events constantly come and go’ ( merely scratches/impulses/strokes within the mind), just like the clouds, while the ‘background/the Total Force’ is the One Eternal and Formless Spirit, which is always here and never changes. It is the only reality. To be aware of the One Spirit, and understand that everything else is transitory and dependent on it, is to understand what non-duality is.

While dreaming during sleep, the mind goes through all sorts of pleasant and unpleasant experiences. ‘The mind is dreaming anytime now and then whilst in the wake’. In the dream, everything seems so real, but ‘when the mind wakes up’ it realizes that these experiences were just a dream. They were not real, and lasted only while the brain was dreaming. The mind is always in its fantasy state throughout its existence.

Before, during, and after the dream, the brain is the same matter, having the same conditions and circumstances, but in dreams, the brain goes through all kinds of experiences, situations and circumstances, which don't really exist. In this case, there is one constant factor, ‘the activities in the dream are only illusions’.

It is like watching a movie and identifying with the heroes, and then, when it is over, the brain forget about it. In cases the brain’s consciousness (the spirit of the fantasies), is the stable factor, and all else just come and go. The mind is one with the One Real Spirit, which is Omnipresent, while everything else is transitory, like moving pictures projected on a screen.

What prevents ‘my brain’ from realizing and understanding non-duality?
The restless, thinking mind and the belief in the reality of the egos seem separated individual existences; prevent the mind from seeing what is beyond the obscurities and obsoletes the definition of ‘non-duality’
.
What can help you to realize and really understand non-duality?
Peeping within the mind, searching through the pages of the mind and its thoughts, where they come from, and discovering what is brain? Will induce the knowledge’s and understandings of what non-duality is.

What is the particular force that instigates thoughts?
Through concentration and meditation, and by learning to silence the mind, a "new" consciousness emerges. In this "state”, the mind learns what is non-duality means. Conclusively the brain will confirm that ‘it is not an ability of the mind’, it is rather
‘The Arouser’ forces the mind’s consciousness within its horizon.

When the mind is silent, there is just Oneness, ‘the Eternal Spirit ", without "me and my body", "me and they", but just ‘Oneness’.
