Consciousness – The Essence Of Mind
Consciousness – the essence of mind.
And the essence of consciousness is emptiness.
Mind is memories (software) which affect the brain (hardware) and our attitude.
Whether the mind moves or is still, the essence of consciousness is always present. When consciousness looks into itself, it finds nothing there; that moment is pure consciousness, and mind becomes empty.
This is freedom from concepts and suffering.
It can be recalled when needed,
in order to revive empathy.
It’s not a matter of walking around ‘being empty’: it is being unsullied clarity. We may not have all the answers, but we can adapt, rather than adopt.
We are consciousness living in an ethereal and material world.
That is the middle way.
