THE MIND - Keys to the Ultimate Freedom

星空

The mind is an -instrument created by you to image the Oneness as chopped up and separated into many parts I interrelated.

***

The mind is simply the sum total composite of all thoughts.

***

The mind becomes habitual.

***

The subconscious mind is merely the thoughts that we are not looking at now.

***

The subconscious mind is running us - making us the victims of habit.

***

The thing that keeps us from recognizing and expressing our infinity is simply the mind, conscious and subconscious. If we are to express this infinite nature, we can do it only by getting behind this mind. When we reach the realm behind the mind we operate without thoughts, intuitively, and are in harmony with the whole universe. .

***

The direction is to still the mind. Quiet the mind and you'll see your infinity right there.

***

Just let go of the mind completely and what's left over is your infinite beingness, all knowing, all powerful, everywhere present.

***

Were we to direct all our energies to stilling our mind, we would soon be realized.

***

The mind quiets spontaneously in the company of a great soul.

***

The more you quiet the mind, the more you feel the Self, and the better you feel. You feel as good as your mind is quiet.

***

When the mind vanishes, there the Self is. Where the Self is, there is no mind.

***

The mind is reflected consciousness, reflected from its source, the Self, just like the light from the moon is reflected from the sun. While the moonlight may be used to reveal objects, it is no more needed when the sun rises. Although the moon may remain in the sky while the sun shines, it is dim and useless. Likewise, the mind is useless when we let the Self shine.

***

Your mind is an instrument used to identify your real Self with your body and world.

***

If you do not identify with your body or mind, neither your body not your thoughts will effect you. So it is when you sleep. Not identifying with your body or mind you have no problems nor suffering.

***

In meditation one subdues the mind and feels the wonderful peace of the Self. This is the start. The finish is the total dissolution of the mind. This is accomplished by recognizing the mind as not being apart from the Self, by seeing it as a phantom product of the Self.

***

In this dream-illusion there's a thing called thought. And thought determines and is the cause of all matter.

***

In your imagination you have written and projected a cinema show of acts, actors and audiences on a screen and have lost sight of the fact that it is all in your imagination, your mind. Discover this and you discover the absolute Truth.

***

The world and universe are a mental concoction.

***

Mind subsidence is Realization. There are two ways to obtain it. On recognizing what the mind really is, it is seen as an illusion and therefore subsides. By concentrating on your Self and discovering You, mind also subsides. Complete subsidence is full Realization. . .

***

The reason why thoughts wander back into the world is because we believe the world is real. But for this belief, Realization would be!

***

Mind distraction is wanting more the things of the world than the Self. Wanting more to hold your Self, the world is not looked at!

***

A thought is an assumption of lack causing a wish to fulfill it.

***

All thoughts are of non-truth. It's so simple. You just stop the thoughts and the infinity that you are is self-obvious.

***

You've got to use the mind to quiet the mind. You need to use determination to still it.

***

When you begin concentrating on the mind, you begin rising above the mind.

***

Once you see what the mind is, you won't be subject to it any more.

***

Strength of mind is the ability to concentrate undistracted on a single thought.

***

Without concentrated mind progress is relatively small.

***

A wandering, wavering mind is one that dissipates one's energy in the form of many thoughts. Hold one thought and the energy is less dissipated and more conserved. Direct this conserved energy toward the Self and your Self will be revealed. The more you do this the stronger becomes your direction and the easier it becomes to abide in your Self.

***

In the beginning the mind pursues the Self intermittently between long intervals. As one continues, the intervals shorten. .Toward the end, the mind is constant in the pursuit and does not wander from it.

***

The power of the mind is almost infinite. When there is only one thought all that power is right there.

***

Restless thoughts keep the Great Ones away. A quiet mind keeps the door open to them.

***

The more you eliminate mind, the more peace you feel.

***

The mind will never discover the Self because the mind is the cover-up over the Self. It's only by letting go of the mind that the Self is seen. You get the mind quiet enough to allow your Self to be obvious to you so that you may use It to let go of the mind.

***

Eliminating what you are not is growth.

***

The biggest difficulty is the subconscious mind. We have relegated things to the subconscious, stored them there, and thrown away the key.

***

If we could make our subconscious fully conscious, we would be fully realized.

***

Every mind uses the very same unlimited intelligence. Everyone uses it as much as he believes he can use it to fulfill his desires. When he learns that his mental limitations a self imposed, he lets go of them. Then his intelligence (I. Q.) can be raised to the degree that he knows he has no limits.

***

We are all in the same mind and the only thing that keeps us from reading the other one is that our attention is too centered on our own little self.

***

Everyone unconsciously reads everyone else and thinks that it is his own thoughts.

***

All minds are influencing each other.

***

A high-level mind tunes in with other minds of high level. A low-level mind tunes in with other minds of low level.

***

Mind is catchy. It's immediately infectious.

***

Thought is a mechanism of limitation.

***

The only intelligence the mind has is what you give to it.

***

Thoughts smother the capacity to be happy.

***

Every thought causes a demonstration.

***

There is no limit to the number of new ideas that man can have.

***

Anything man can think can be.

***

You use your mind to still your mind. When you are meditating, holding one thought, other thoughts drop away.

***

Mind is always seeking external knowledge. Direct it internally.

***

Introvert the mind and realize to full realization.

***

The ego-mind struggles for survival and tries to subvert your direction.

***

The mind cannot give the ultimate answer because it's part of the ego, part of our limitation.

***

Real knowledge lies just behind thought, which is relative knowledge, and relative knowledge is ignorance.

***

When the Self, which is just behind the mind, is discovered, you see that the mind is limited and let go of it.

***

There is a mind that runs this planet. There is a mind that runs the solar system and a mind that runs the universe. All these minds are in the illusion.

***

Where is the world without your mind? Is there such a thing as world when you submerge the mind? The thought of the world creates it. This whole solid universe that you mentally say is a solid universe is just your thought that it is a solid universe.

***

Anything your mind is absolutely convinced of materializes instantly.

***

Mind can do anything with the body.

***

The utmost that the intellect and reasoning can do for us is first, recognize its limitations and secondly, do that which helps the quest for the Self.

***

Every thought is an affliction. When the thought waves are completely stilled there are no more afflictions.

***

Every thought is motivated by a desire for pleasure or an aversion to pain.

***

Letting go of all attachments and aversions is letting go of all your thoughts.

***

Thought and desire are the same.

***

The only thing we are aware of is our own thoughts.

***

What we're seeing out there is our own mind.

***

That which you really want you never forget, it's always on your mind. Really want to discover your Self.

***

The mind is the brain of the astral and causal bodies.

***

The mind can be made quiet wherever you are. The place to do it is right where you are.

***

Don It mind the mind and the mind won It need minding!

***

The mind is not made noisier, it is just that you get quiet enough to notice how noisy it is.

***

Everything falls perfectly into line effortlessly and harmoniously without thoughts.

***

As mind gets quiet, first the sense of havingness decreases until a measure of security is felt. It becomes less necessary to have in order to be. Then the sense of doership decreases until a further security is felt in that one is not the real doer, that the real doer is a higher power, that one can actually be with much less doing and it becomes less necessary to do in order to be. Finally your real Self that has always been in the background steps in and takes over and you feel that there is nothing necessary any more that you must have or do, that there is no choice but to only be!

***

Use omniscience, don't use the mind! The goal is to eliminate the mind.

***

If there are no thoughts then there is no mind. Mind is only thoughts.

***

If you take away your mind what's left over is Omniscience. You are that omniscient Being that you are seeking, clouded over by mind.

***

Mind detached from world and centered only on Self is Liberation.

***

Depth of meditation is the degree of quietude of mind.

***

Unless we're eliminating mind, unless we're eliminating ego, we're not progressing.

***

The more we keep looking into the mind, the quieter we become.

***

Where the mind is all quiet, there is all knowledge.

***

Knowing the mind is full Realization.

***

The first thought of all thoughts is I am an individual, separate. In order for there to be a he, she or it, first there has to be an I. So we create I, and then there are others. Without the first thought of I there can't be any other thoughts of anyone else. That's the first basic error, I am a separate individual. If I am separate then there has to be others, he, she and it. And you start dividing up the One by first becoming an individual separate from It. Thought first divides and separates you from the One Beingness, and then creates a multitude of beings and things and all the relationships. It's all your thought, that's all it is. Let go of thought and what1s left over is you, infinite, eternal, glorious, all joyous. serene!
