You will go insane if you keep adding or making up stories to every little encounter you have from the moment you wake up till you hit the pillow again; thinking is a serious addiction which has gone unnoticed by most especially those who ended up in the mental homes; they are the lucky ones. The mind is like a garbage mag that needs to be emptied regularly if not it starts to smell and tiny maggots starts to crawl out of them born from the rotten chicken skin you got rid of when you cooked your fried veggies with chicken. A row of pigeons stood quietly along the edge of the roof waiting to be fed but it was not the day for them and so I was bowing and apologizing to them for not having any rice made this morning. uo will go nuts if you keep talking to cats and birds as though they understand you; do they?? Your mind begins to wonder and stories tart to roll in from You Tube and you are lost in aa narrative of can animals communicate at the huma level of consciousness and so on...this is how a story begins and it will continue on till you find an even more exciting thing to ramble about; this is your mental excursive taking you for your daily ride; are you not aware of this?
How fortunate are those who genuinely wakes up very early in the morning to do the Fajr or Subuh. prayer before the sunrise, these are the truly awaken ones and there are over a billion of them all over this Planet, they keep the sanity of this Planet and its humanity through pure surrender of faith and consciousness to start their day off; they begin their day with the worship of the Lord with the expression of gratitude and blessedness for being alive and safe they do not wake up with, OMG! I am late for work! This is what being spiritual is about or being conscious of one's true nature in relation to the rest of the Universe; I am Who I Am! I am the humble slave of my Maker, a servant to my Lord, may I spend the rest of the day with this thought in mind in whatever I do or encounter from this moment henceforth. Every faith and religion has this Sadhana or practice but not every person put it into action. This spiritual act alone has began the healing of the mind from its incessant chattering about anything and everything it encounters. By the act of focusing upon the Divine from the moment it is waken from sleep the mind is easily invaded by external thought formations, he is not easily distracted or swayed by images and sounds that is randomly imposed upon it.
The chattering mind is production of our Nafs or Ego that enjoys making movies, to give color to life a little bit instead of living a life of no challenges and conditioned from the very beginning by all that is experienced from the external thought formations. The ego is me, you and the rest to humanity, so long as there is a soul of light there is an ego in the form of its shadow, my shadow, your shadow we all walk along with our shadow till the day we are buried in the ground and no more shadow. But in the Jungian perception, the shadow is the negative side of oneself, the darker nature, the disruptor and the corrupt. It is my duty and yours to understand fully this side of our nature and learn to work together in perfect balance, with deep respect and mutual understanding of what is need in order to perform well in this life, a life towards healing and giving not of self serving and glorification.
Many ask the question, how do I stop my thinking mind? You cannot, you won't and you don't want to. The thinking mind or the Monkey mind some would call it is as natural and unique an instrument, tool or gadget installed into the human genetic make up as one's hand or eyes. It has its own properties and functions and how well or how poorly it functions is up to the 'Director.' ;Yours truly. You are the manager of your instruments, you staff and team players, not the other way around. When you loose track of this then you find yourself being taken for a ride, drifting from one thought to another and it 's ok too if you enjoy sleep walking through the day. Off course a Series or two on NETFLIX might help to whole your time away or you can write it all down like it is presently being done, so as others can enjoy your sordid boring tales and by chance learn a lesson or two from them even. Time is how it is being put to use, time is never wasted cause it never was. You make time create time be on time and often let time slip away without any rhyme or reason; you are like the walking dead, the Zombies. It is ok too if being a zombie is like in the trending this day and age; just do not buy it all to be what is Real.
The Root Chakra -396 Hz - Release feelings of Guilt, Fear and Anxiety! This is the resonance that is running in my head for the past hour or two while writing this or listening to Sunyamurti Satsang taken -lace in his Hermitage in Costa Rica; it makes a great background music that at the same time helps to silence the chattering mind or at least bring it a slow down through sound and vibrations, another way to wake up early in the morning if one is not a religious man. Sound is neutral, no image and no judgment, like water it covers all, like the Sun it warms up all as equally according to the laws of Nature. To learn to absorb the energy of the Sun every morning is a good Sadhana that will invigorate the whole system inside out by just surrendering to the flow or warm energy from the Sun with your eyes focused on the the brilliant ball of fire placing it in between your bros at the Third eye chakra and visualize it to be your energy center the dynamo that stores and runs the whole system of the physical and spiritual state of consciousness. The energy of the Sun is the authentic, organic food for the soul; vitamin D! And the music keeps on playing the sound of 396 Hz a resonance to awaken the Root Chakra, the Seat of the Kundalini Serpent of Power. Is it working? WallhuAlam, only the Lord Knows.
