Filling Our Minds

What we fill our minds with matters.

Our mind is a sensitive tool, quick to detect and able to analyse vital information and turn it into knowledge for the welfare of others. Just filling the mind with meaningless information and entertainment makes us meaningless, and that isn’t of benefit to anyone, only to our self-esteem.

If the mind is filled with others’ information, it has no clarity of its own.
Meditation is pure observation without an observer. That is non-duality.
For there to be an observer, time is taken to analyse, and we’re back in a duality.

Now, one of two options occurs:

If our analysis is based on the present moment in order to clarify, that is being sensitive to the situation.
If, on the other hand, we are regurgitating memories, that is merely self-entertainment.
