Very few, if any, of your existing beliefs are your own . . . they will be clusterings of other people’s ideas, opinions and rules. If this is so, then very few of your thoughts will be your own or original.
SuZen Zen Poem
Living Mind
Your buddha-mind
is
a living mind
–
and not
just something
kind-of
attached
to
the back
of your brain.
It envelops you,
as
a
subtle body
of energy,
and
works with you
and
your
brain-body,
your
buddha-body
,
,
,
through
the mindbody
dynamism
of
the brain
and
the
nerve centres.
.
.
.
It is a living,
organic
whole
within
the living
organic
whole
of existence.
.
.
.
To
un-cluster
the
living
mind
we “un-pack”
the nests
of thoughts,
,
,
,
ideas,
opinions
and rules
–
to which many
of your emotions
will
be tied
or
anchored.
.
.
.
You will note
that
none of this
has
anything
to do with
your ego
or
will-to-power.
.
.
.
And this
is
because
we
are dealing with
the
Living Mind,
,
,
,
the ground
of
your awareness
which
is
fertile
and vivacious
and always connected
with
your
Unborn Mind
and
your
Eternal Being Nature.
.
.
.
The mind-clusters,
,
,
,
the nests are dead
–
they
are
old
and
outworn,
,
,
second –
or
third-hand
even
before
they cluster
and
attach themselves
to you.
.
.
.
You cannot
shout
at them
to get rid of them,
,
,
as
you can with the ego,
,
,
as
they have no drive
of their own.
.
.
.
You have to
just
carefully,
,
,
and patiently,
,
,
“un-pack” them . . .
.
.
. . . clearing
space
for
new
structures
to open up
in
the
Living Mind.
.
.
.
