Over-stimulation.

 We are embodied beings in an over-simulated environment.

 Our whole essence is spiritual. Through ignorance of not recognising our true nature we inhabit a body, with sensitive senses and minds. Somehow we have to balance respect for this relative existence with our absolute nature.

Our senses are not dull, but our brains may be dulled, and this dullness strangely creates overactivity in our minds. Our Essence can never be affected: its natural clarity is always present, only clouded by the contents of our minds.

We are so distracted that the mind is in over-load,  and therefore we are confused and the senses are far too stimulated. This creates obsessions, which is exhausting to the body and mind. The effect of this is that we cannot even think straight!

Desire begets frustration, and so we desire more…that is addiction.

So our sole purpose is to know our true nature – nothing else – accept for genuine compassion for others in the same predicament.

 We have to be spiritual engineers
to counter social engineering.
That is what meditation is all about…
…recognition!

(It’s interesting how much of our life is spent in ‘media’ speculations.
When I consider it…spiritual practices can also keep us busy, and so we can miss the point completely!)
