A Stranger Resides Within Our Mind

The ‘stranger’ that resides in our mind is a construct that we’ve adopted from birth in order to conform, and it’s caused us inner conflict and suffering ever since. When it’s recognised, this stranger, this self is our personal path to enlightenment. Evil exists all around us; it wants us to do anything but recognise this stranger, the illusory programme of a self. This is evil’s weakness, because you can’t fool everyone all the time.

What is enlightenment? It is recognition of this artificial imposition, and negating its effects. Wisdom is recognition; that which is aware of this stranger is what we are. It has no name, and giving it one creates duality, separation and conflict with others. 

Our stupidity is being unaware of intercessors planting ideas in the mind. Never underestimate both the power and the weakness of stupidity.

The right path dissolves confusion and conflict.

If confusion and conflict aren’t being dissolved, 
we’re not on the right path.
