My discussions with my mind.-1

After all these years of kidding myself, I have come to realize that i am in love with ,my mind. After all it is the only one I have and it really has not been too bad to me considering the things i have done good and bad the dreams I have been able to fulfill and the fact that i am not living on the Gaza Strip as a Palestinian kid. Drinking "Heaven and Earth" Jasmine tea from the bottle and listening to Kitaro on the earphones, what more can one ask for? Off course a whole lot more and should by our divine right if one wants to look at it from the mind's perspective, what you reach for is far greater than that you can ever imagine but the veil of ignorance hides this from you and so yes, to be satisfied with that which you have is a virtue, but it is also a fictitious understanding that you have' a product of the mind.  

So i officially declaring myself a schizoid. I talk to my mind as another entity, apart from myself and at present I am trying to make up become well acquainted with my mind. I am terribly sorry to have disappointed all those who read my Blog for having wasted your time and intelligence following a journey into a blind alley. I am talking to my mind admitting that the mind and I should become good friends, get to know one another and stop being at logger head and shutting down one another for no good reason. No set rules but just simple common sense for the good of both parties like a win win situation. All it takes is simple step getting closer to understanding ourselves and  each other, I heard me saying this morning, who are you and who am I? How come there is you and there is me? For as long as i can remember there has always been you by my side and yet i have always feared and doubted you and why I cannot understand and so i keep asking myself, Who am I? What is this that is a part of me projecting itself in thoughts formations, sometimes rational and good and sometimes otherwise, and often times I feel like I have no control over it?

All through my years of rambling, telling how it is  and how it was, my ups and downs, my trials and tribulations, all of these have come to one simple conclusion; know thy mind and not know thyself first. All those who have understood their minds, raise your hands! Not me i must admit and i intend to make it my practice henceforth towards becoming closely attached to my mind. I will sit before my mind like disciple before a teacher and learn all there is to learn about the mind, how it works and why it works the way it does. I will tell the mind what i think and how i think and how we can come together create same thoughts for the benefit of of the rest rest of humanity.got to have a reason for doing something, a virtue would be nice, afterall it is and has always been a spiritual quest. It is about understanding of one's Dharma position in life,the platform that you stand on in order to become one with the whole of humanity if not the Universe itself. WOW! Thats is when the mind gets going, or was it me?  

What is the Dharma position you ask. The very unconditional principle that you stand by as you project who you are to the 
Universe, that which is out there, the sights the the taste the touch the smell...you name it. How does the mind relate itself to all it perceives, all that it absorbs from the thoughts and mental formations of countless souls that have inhabit this Planet? How does the mind relate to human relationships and the day to day, walk of life with all the psycho emotional tags attached to most of them? If all these as they say is mind created, why? Why create hardships and miseries? Why the harping on to negative vibes and issues rather than focussing upon positive an d creative ones. Why can't it be that mind become more productive and less destructive, become more supportive instead of creating mental blocks towards every making life a little more simple and easy going. Age is catching up, the old principle of impermanence, time is of the essence, if not not now when? 

So lets have a good chat mind, you and me, I too will have to think for the sake of this communication, otherwise nothing will make any sense. One has to make it as simple as possible like I ask mind, why does a human mind bent on doomsday and destruction, chaos and mayhem, what makes mind attracted to negative side of nature, human or otherwise. Alright I will not get carried away, lets us take a closer look,Mind, henceforth I will capitalize your name, Mind just so we are on equal platform all the way through; an even playing field. What of the body? We are both not doing too good at caring for it are? This body, this physical form, it is what keeps us together, don't you think so Mind? What do we do about this body going to pieces slowly but surely? The Body, should be our primary concern if we are to survive this life with much ease and less effort, like go with the flow as the old ones used to say. We cannot stop decay and degeneration, we cannot stop the scourge of time, but together we can maintain,  conserve and preserve what is left, instead of over indulging ourselves in all forms of habit that are contrary to otherwise.

To be Contd.
