Delusions of yore are still delusions du jour - Better to just be silent

Recommended Posts

Seeing the responses on the "Light is awareness" thread (overwhelming amount of material from one attention-hungry individual in particular), it became clear that many don't understand that one cannot gain spiritual understanding by using the thinking mind alone.

 

Looking for "the truth" in phenomena will never lead one there. One cannot understand the world by looking for answers in the objects therein. One has to look for the/look at the source. The source is not out there, it is your own awareness. So there is always time - stop seeking the truth in this and that, here and there. And when you become silent and still, you will find it in the core of your being.

Golden Rule of the path to Awakening:

 

Still the Mind to find the Truth.

 

...or when the thinking mind and the internal chatter (ego) are calm and settled ---> No Mind ---> the Hidden will be revealed.

 

...or the Mind is like the ripples of the pond that blocks our view from wisdom. Once the ripples become still water, we will see *'things' more clearly and wisdom will be gained.

 

*Law of karma, spiritual evolution of sentient beings, what am I? the true nature of disease and illness, micro-human vs macro-human, the nature of the Mind, Yin and Yang as a nurturing state of the Mind, etc.
