Dissolving Dualistic Mind
A dualistic mind continually relates
through attachment.
The nature of mind is clarity, uncontaminated awareness, pure consciousness. It is pure perception. It is neither intellectual nor academic – it just observes. This is the esoteric wisdom of a non-dualistic mind which is not relating to everything; it does not refer to memories and is totally detached, while perceiving. We know what’s going on, but have no reaction yet. This is dissolved dualistic mind.
What usually happens is that we (pure consciousness) relate to everything through memories, and this creates a duality of ideas about something. It is because of desire that we (pure consciousness) became stuck in constantly relating to something ‘interesting’ out there that we become obsessed with.
The purpose of life is to find our way out of the confusion that others find interesting. The mind that was clarity is now imprisoned in concepts; we merely have to recognise that these concepts have no reality. In that moment, detachment occurs and we stop clinging to ideas about what’s out there. Ego stops reacting, and we are free.
This is a momentary experience.
Our practice is to become more familiar
with this recognition of our first reality.
This done through meditation.
Funnily enough, the stronger the emotion, the clearer the recognition. We tend not to admit our emotions, as we cover them up with irrational justifications which maintains the continuity of confusion.
If we justify our thoughts,
we merely reinvent ourself.
It’s called habit.
