Emptying the Mind

 

Emptying the mind is the best antidote to stress or the feeling of impermanence. All phenomena of manifestation exist as “motion” – including our minds and bodies. We are motion, so we see the universe in terms of name and form. Being identified with a particular state of form (which is us), we see other forms. Hence to be in a form, means to think via the form and to think means to perceive other forms. This is the creation. The creation of manifestation from consciousness generates a feeling of “many” and not only “many”, but of a changing or a fluid reality.

The change is the motion caused by “vibrations” – the Potential trying to manifest as force and matter. Whether there is force or matter cannot be ascertained. There are these states because we exist in them or we act or we exhibit the laws of manifestation. These states are not there for some medium which is beyond these laws – which is a state of motionless or stillness or the One.

The question is about what is important for you? Is bread important or money or God? To remain engaged with the world thinking that it will provide answers to your fears or to realize what one actually is and that there is no need to do or be attached in motion?

These two states are real and they are interchangeable too. Each property exists with the other state and hence that is what all things are. We are a medium of consciousness that also includes the state of manifestation or of motion or of illusion or of construct or of the dream. The basis of unit of consciousness is to vibrate and hence project itself as force and matter too. While projecting itself as force and matter, the properties apparently change; the behavior changes and the functioning changes. In manifestation, each apparent entity latches itself onto its own identification and responds to other forms. All forget their original nature and this keeps the state of manifestation alive.

The universe does not go here or there or something gets added absolutely and something gets subtracted in an absolute sense. Nothing really changes for that matter. We think we change, we convert, we enter and we exit. All is due to our identification with motion (or separation) and our hankering to complete ourselves.

Realize this tendency, give up this tendency and empty the mind. Do not judge or evaluate or belittle or cause harm or fear or worry or expect or justify. Everywhere there is only “I” so what is there to worry? What is there to compete and what is there to go fast or slow? Is there any need to base your response based on something “external” situations? In other words, situation – perception of the same = consciousness. Be empty.
