Find your sanity by losing your mind

If you get the spiritual quest mentally but still fail to live it, that's because you're making...

The first big mistake...

Trying to control the mind. Why? Because that...

• Drives the mind forward, without steering or brakes,
  
• Fuels unconscious dreaming, and
• Conditions the mind accidentally, without intelligence...

—causing the very pain you want to avoid!

But "WAIT!" you say...

"Thoughts hurt, so what am I supposed to do instead?"

First, thoughts alone do not cause pain. You've had bad thoughts without pain.

While you don't have direct control over the mind or thoughts, the good news is...

You don't need control. Here's why...

If you want to redirect water coming out of a hose, do you use your hand in the water?

No, you use the hose.

• You need to consciously use five powers you possess because THEY are what controls the mind. You have these powers but are using them unconsciously because you don't know it.
• When you know what you are doing to cause your pain, you will stop.
• When you are conscious and awake, mind is not a problem for you.
• You can reverse suffering without using your mind.
• The mind is working as it should. When you know how the mind works, and why it does what it does, then...

You will make mind your friend.

After all, we need the mind and thoughts to communicate, plan, and create.

There is a natural and healthy way to use the mind.

The mind is an innocent bystander, and we have been abusing and blaming it due to not knowing better.

We are making so many mistakes, simply because we don't understand the mind.

And because those who don't know better are teaching those mistakes.

So it's not your fault.

Second big mistake...

Using our imaginary mind to stop our pain

rather than getting real.

We struggle and suffer because the mind is imaginary, but we take it to be real.

To confuse the mind for the real is to dream in the waking state.

Acting on a dream doesn't work in reality.

Our reality is shared, but our suffering dreams are personal and clash.

That is unconsciousness, and it's what nearly 8 billion people are doing.

This is why people are arguing, abusing, killing, and inflicting suffering on each other—and why humanity is destroying itself.

The Conscious Awakening Process

Humanity is going through a painful waking-up process.

The pain is trying to wake us up, but some have not realized this yet and use the pain to justify the mind's content and continue dreaming and suffering.

What causes suffering

So long as we dream, we will suffer.

Dreaming is mixing-up the mental experience with reality.

Keeping it real keeps us from unconsciously suffering and acting on the mind.

But unconsciousness is more slippery and subtle than society realizes.

Here's a dreaming example

Have you ever thought, "I know him"?

We are so certain about people; what they think, feel, and why they do and say things.

But our certainty is what makes the false look real.

What if what you are knowing is not him, but the "him" in your mind?

What if your story is fully imaginary and false, and you don't know it?

People think they are reporting an emotionally painful fact, but don't realize that what they are actually doing is creating the fictional story they suffer.

We create our own suffering. But just 100% of the time.

That's empowering to realize and use, because...

Even just a glimpse beyond the mind changes everything.

The hard problem

The rope is the real basis for the illusory appearance of the snake.

You see, sometimes there is a grain of truth, and while it is never the cause of our pain, it's the basis for making the painful story look real.

(And in most instances, suffering is completely imaginary.)

So how can you know what's real?

And if nothing is real, if it's all story, how can you wake up from what looks real?

How can you see the truth of the rope, so long as you see a snake?

How can you see beyond something that looks real to you?

What's needed to see beyond mind...

Insights are when you see something of the real, the true, which goes against how things appear.

Then you realize there's a difference between what you thought you saw or knew, and what the truth and reality is.

Your narrow and sometimes distorted understanding and perception is the problem—and so you are the solution.

You are the way out. You can do this.

Real insights are game-changers

Once you see "the snake" is a rope, there's no going back. And there's no more fear.

Conscious awakening experiences and experiments give you opportunities for game-changing glimpses of timeless, trust-worthy truth, beyond the mind.

What you need for insight

Insight happens by comparison, between the mind and the reality.

There must be a willingness to question, doubt and experiment, in order to discover.

Testing the story against reality results in impactful insight.

These experiments break the spell of the mind and cause conscious awakening.

With insight, even when the mind gets a little crazy creative (as is it's nature), you remain awake, aware, and grounded.

Then you are out of your mind, and crazy happy 😊 because of it.

Being the solution

If you want to be the awake, sane, and sober driver of the mind—using its power for creative good and peace for yourself and others—then you must see beyond the illusory mind.

Learn to be consciously awake for insight, and for that...

You must get radically real

To go beyond the conditioned mind and fundamental beliefs that create the illusion and threat of separation, you have to value reality over the mind.

You can come to value, seek, prefer, and love reality.

Its truth will set you free.

Follow the path of the sages & mystics who saw

If you've had enough of the empty promises of the new age, you can get real with the people who actually walked this path before you, come and embrace and embody the timeless truths and teachings of the sages through the ages...

Like Ramana Maharshi, Papaji, Krishna, Jesus, Nisgardatta Maharaj, Bankei, Rumi, Dogen Zenji, etc.

They pointed to the primary error we made about who and what we are, as separate beings, and that this error can be seen through and corrected.

All the tools we use are based on getting real, and that gets results.
