If we sit

If we sit at night and dread the coming day, then we are projecting into the future creating psychological fear.

If we sit in the day and regret what happened the day before, then we are stuck in the past, a thing that cannot be changed and no longer exists.

These states of unconscious mind activity seem normal, yet in the conscious moment that is now, we realise that our mind is where the insanity is. We are dwelling on a past that no longer exists or projecting into an unreal future…crazy. Then basing our beliefs upon such insanity. Even madder.

If we sit in this moment and experience just this moment then we can let go of the insanity and be at peace. We can base our beliefs on the real-life moment and allow ourselves to be truly ourselves free from the madness our mind creates.

You’re mad

You’re mad.

A judgement made by a person’s subconscious mind of other people who are subconscious, others who they fear because they are different. We are dominated by our minds and therefore not conscious. In a conscious state, there is no madness.

We fear anything that challenges us, as we fear we may be wrong. Wrong/right being a position the ego defends at whatever cost to us or others.

There is nothing to defend, accept what is without resistance. We can still have a view, but there is no need to win or lose, fight, have anger, become violent, have a war or whatever else the subconscious mind will create to win.

Mad eh?
