The mindless quality of total involvement
Observing the fluctuations of the mind, we find we are continuously oscillating from past experience to future expectation, never really here. Missing out on life in the here & now. The mindless quality of total involvement, introspection of the mundane, not the grand, we begin to witness the truth.
Inspired by the works of Eckhart Tolle & Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, bringing awareness to those daily actions too often taken for granted, for it is how we live within the confines of the abode where we witness the truth of character. Another inspiration is the work of Carl Jung, and his ’Second Personality’ theory…
Through this state of nowness we begin to witness the duality of the self, the observed & the observer, both residing in what we deem to be the self. Where all becomes one. It is through this realisation, we see our minds always distracted, rushing from one thought to the next. By slowing down we are able to increase the space between 2 thoughts as we begin to transcend into the subconscious, allowing this to become conscious. Freeing ourselves from banks of pleasure & pain, allowing the river of life to flow freely…
Floating in the abyss.
Our thoughts collide, the dream world hasn’t yet finished, the real world is yet to begin. Suspended in time, between the real and the unreal, detached from the both worlds, floating in the abyss…
Layers remain.
The external mask is left at the door, a layer remains of the persona that was the moment before…
The observed & the observer.
The observed & the observer, meeting at first light, grounding in this moment, gazing across the chasm as we begin to remember. In this moment of quietude we find peace in the mundane.
The witness.
Slowing down, we witness the two, who reside within the self. Both on a slightly different path, with the same destination in mind…
Chitta vritti.
As we sink below the noise, the constant mind chatter, the chitta vritti, we witness a truth that was hidden in plain sight…
Freedom from the known.
Sitting with the action, our mind present, we begin to taste the truth, the richness of life detached from past experience and the future expectation. A taste of freedom from the known…
The observer & the observed.
The observer & the observed, where does one end and the other begin…?
Waiting is futile.
All waiting is futile, the future left to itself merely repeats itself. Change can only happen now, never in the future…
—Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
Gratitude.
How we interact with the outside world affects ourselves and those we meet. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, lead with love in every situation. For love conquers all…
