mind, mindlessness
no mind and detachment
an introduction to the concepts of mind, mindlessness, no mind and detachment with some insights into the nature of memories from the perspective of Transpersonal Psychology ...
- taming the monkey mind : mind into no-mind ... The Western Mind sees things from an opposite perspective to the Eastern Orientated Mind - on which the basic tenets of Transpersonal Psychology are based.
- no-mind : the consciousness of being ... awareness and bliss; the mind's perception of one's Divinity is an ego trip
- mindlessness: the sounds of silence ... Silence is beyond Self because Self has become One ... There is no witness, there is no witnessed
- memories and the mind ... re-creating the past in the present according to your conditioning and beliefs
- detachment defined: all the world's a stage ... Do we allow the play that is our life to unfold, guided by our transpersonal senses, or is the mind stuck in our individual reaction to one of the other players on the stage of life?
the essence
In the Tao Te Ching, Lao Tzu said (and I am using a translation by Henry Wei)
-
Without going out of doors,
one can know the world;
without looking through the window,
one can realise the Way of Heaven.
The farther one goes,
the less one knows.
Therefore the sage knows without going out,
discriminates without seeing,
and accomplishes without action.
