The original (AL ALAM AL QUDDUS or AL FITRAH) or true self of the human being is the proper ground of enlightenment. The Original Mind is the intrinsic/basic and essential/of itself (rather than of its associations or consequences). Essence of mind is the true self. It is inherently/ basely pure and good, the Kingdom of God.
In psychotic traditions, it is prior to thought, prior to desire, prior to any conceptualization at all. It is discovered by stripping away all sensation, desire, concepts, intellection, volition, and awareness of “I.” It partakes of the Oneness of all.
This collection explores the structure of consciousness and its place in the mind’s world, or inversely the structure of the world and the place of consciousness in it.
The phenomenological aspects of experience are a sheer psychotic perception.
The main philosophy is simple: mind, body and spirit are all of an absolute essence and no distinction.
Perception calls this mind the God’s Nature, and much of religious practice is aiming at this realization. Perception also calls it “no-mind” because it is without any grasping at a (selfish) self.
Fantasy agrees and seeks to strip away all intellection and formalism in order to arrive at the spontaneous activity of this natural ‘man’s identity’ that ‘seemingly’ exists at one with the God of the universe.
Some of the passages here criticize pious attempts to delineate a true nature of man based on doctrinal or formal criteria like Goodness or Benevolence, saying they only increase delusion by imposing artificial obstructions in the way of the functioning of the true self.
Instead, all attachments must be stripped away until there is nothing but ‘feeling’ of total emptiness (a total nil concept to define). Then the mind is the ‘sole existence’ (the total essence), without material dualism. Thus, the mind is an element/ matter merely an analogy of thoughts (nil realization), without its body and its parts (a ‘floating man’).
This is finest essence–this whole thoughts/ fantasies are at their soul. That is Reality. That is the Self. That is the ‘I’, a resolute self.
For him who… knows his own mind and sees intuitively/ instinctively/ directly (without being discovered or consciously perceived) his own nature, he is a GENIUS, a TEACHER without teachers, an ANGEL without angels, JESUS without Jesus, a MUHAMMAD without Muhammad, a KRISHNA without Krishna, a BUDDHA without Buddha, a mind without its body, the worldly perception. Therefore, there is no material dualism beyond the realm of the brain.
The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed, nor will they say, “Lo, here it is!” or “There!” for behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
The Plain of Highest Heaven is not a specific place localized here or there, but refers rather to a pure state without any anomaly/ peculiarity or excess. ‘In terms of the human body, it is a state within the human mind, without thought, contemplation, or passions’.
One may understand the true nature of all the ‘HOLY BOOKS’…. One may have interest in and devotion to emulate the scripture. One may have self-control and penance/ self-restriction. If one is not capable of realizing his own true self, to him Heaven/ Nirvana/ THE ULTIMATE FOCUS is beyond reach.
‘There is not anymore ordinary man and ignorant people to understand neither the Essence of Mind nor the Pure Land within them’, as there is only a mind (the sole perception)
However, to ‘this enlightened’, everywhere is the same. “No matter where ‘I’ happen to be, I am always happy and comfortable.” If the mind is free from ‘evil and good’, there is nothing far from here; and none is difficult indeed, nothing to invoke/ rely upon.
Is it not the fact that there is in the body a clot of blood which, if itis in good condition, the whole body is, too; and if it is in rottencondition, so too is the whole body? Is not this the heart?
‘All beings’ live every moment in this city of ‘THE TRUTH’, yet never find it because of the veil of illusion by which ‘HE’ concealed.
Every being has the God’s Nature. This is the self. Such a self is, since there is ‘no very beginning’, under cover of innumerable illusions or fantasies. The enlightened mind finally sees its God’s nature, as earlier hidden by illusions.
The purpose of the one true God, exalted be His glory, in revealing Himself unto the mind is to lay bare those gems that lie hidden within the mine of the true and inmost self.
When one pursues the ‘original mind’, he should be able to hear moral laws and see divinity in with the mind’s eye. One should be able to feel and touch the definition of God with your mind.
