Demystifying The Nature Of Mind

The essence of mind is pure consciousness. It’s what we are – pure observation without an observer. This pure consciousness stores memories, and becomes attached to these memories, assuming that those memories are what we are. Thus, ‘self’ was born and maintained.

This is the state of not knowing what we are.
All we know is memories.

In this state, our attention is either engaged or vacant – both are aspects of not knowing our true nature, or of actually forgetting.

In that moment, we merely become aware of our attention being taken away, and a gap occurs. We are that empty gap of pure observation, pure consciousness. It’s that simple.

Acknowledging that empty space and resting there with nothing else present is pure consciousness, our original state of being. That is what we’ve been all along, and the recognition of that is the purpose of life – to realise what we are.

Without claiming anything, we simply go about our life repairing, what needs to be repaired in the physical world and the mental world.

Then we own our own mind.
