“All they do is meditate!”

There is much going on in this world that creates suffering – power crazed governments, greedy corporation, people in back rooms inventing new ways to control the population and put us into debt. We read it in the news everyday – reading between the lines, to hear the “double speak.”

…”And all we do is meditate.”

Those who criticise meditators do not understand that meditation is concerned with having a clear mind – seeing clearly – and therefore not merely guessing and reacting.

If running around like crazy people,  over reacting and mistrusting everything helps to make the world a better place, then do it! But it doesn’t, does it? It only adds to the confusion.

There are subtle influences and manipulations going on, and it needs a subtle mind to see it. That is where meditation comes in, to enable us to be aware of consciousness, and how it can be misdirected. Stage magicians show us how easy that is, and Corporations use Neuro Linguistic Programming to their own ends and not for the benefit of the population.

First we have to be aware, and then deal intelligently with what comes into our lives. If more people had clearer minds, we could work better together and it would be a better world. Until then, we will blindly go round in circles, doing precisely what those in the back room want.

Our real problem is the creation of a self image – an “I” – that has to be defended and maintained, through hope and fear. We do this to ourselves! Outside forces merely take advantage of this selfishness to manipulate us. If we understand how this works, we will understand how everything works.

The body can be manipulated, and the mind can be manipulated, but our essential nature cannot! Our essential nature is Pure Awareness, but at the moment there are screens of illusions in front of it.

Take control of your mind, because others are doing it for you!

It’s good to Know,
