We are not our mind

Posted on by philipdodson

If we look within, we realise that we have everything we need, all the wisdom, intuition and intelligence to exist as a human. If we listen to the mind, ours and the collective one, then the sabotage occurs.

We confuse information, with intelligence.

The mind can store endless amounts of information, and if it is occupied constantly with its repetitive thought patterns, then that is all the mind is. A box of information and a repeating story or stories.

However, the mind is the most amazing thing, it has like all the cells in our body, incredible intelligence, and if used as the totally incredible tool that it is, we manifest the most incredible things. The mind can take all of the creativity, intuition, knowledge and wisdom that exists in the ball of energy, that is the real you and me, and can enable us to manifest into reality in this current moment anything we want.

The challenge is, that the mind of others and the collective mind, condition each of us to believe we are our minds. It starts from the moment we are born, we are instantly plugged into the ‘matrix’ of the collective mind.

If we stopped the conditioning, the labelling, the mind, and thought and allowed each newborn to be, to exist as the essence, to be in the moment and to be conscious, allowing their wisdom and intuition, that we are all born with, to flourish, then we would realise the mind as it is, an amazing tool to enable us to manifest our wishes and creations. Instead, we associate with our thoughts, ego, stories and the mind controls the human. It dulls our true selves until we become mind and thought obsessed, we become the little me.

We are not our mind, it is just a tool that we choose to use.

Just be

When we behave externally and internally as if we are enlightened, and start to become that persona, we are, in fact, not enlightened, we just have a different story, but we are still ruled by the ego. We are still not our true self, we are now this ‘enlightened’ story.

If we have to act out a role, behave according to a conditioned and societal role, then we are associated with the mind and thus a contradiction to an enlightened soul.

Being truly our soul and essence within and in the exterior world is a challenge, however, we will not achieve it by telling ourselves and the world that we are so zen.

Peace within comes when we can simply just be and do not need to act, show, tell or announce it to ourselves and the world.
