The mind has to sit a certain way to access the Truth of things.
From what I have seen the mystics and sadhus have a certain way of doing this: they point the way for you and create the space in your mind as to where one should be and then ask us to find the Truth for ourselves. It seems like it cannot be described in words and has to be experienced.
The path they point to is this:
- first, they tell you that one’s mind can be everything and it also can be nothing. As I sit down and write this it is everything. I am spinning an idea and a sentence and the mind is working everything out. Then I sit in a corner and meditate and my mind goes from everything to nothing. In meditation I only experience silence. Hence there are different spaces in mind that need to be experienced and to see what these different spaces in mind can do. They don’t all work the same way.
- Then they tell us that there are limitations to our thinking mind. What limitations. They say that the mind as we know it works from a repository of our experiences and from our past in mind. So we are always working off what is already know by us. Hence the new will never show itself from what is already known. So where does the new in mind come from? That is where we need to go to.
- We are looking for the Truth of things. The Truth will have to be an entity that is unchanging, omnipresent, all knowing where thinking of this and that is not necessary. Since everything, where the Truth is, is true – why would thinking be necessary? Intuition is sufficient to communicate with the Truth. In other words, we just listen to the sound of silence and communicate with only intention in mind.
- There is a lot of chit chat about the Truth and what it is but please show me how I can get my mind to such a place where only intuition rules and I am listening all the time, to the sound of the silence in my mind. I don’t want this and that about my experiences anymore or my past as a repository. I want to go to that space in mind where I can see the Truth of things clearly and live with it every day and get all my information from this divine space in my mind. Take me there, please.
- I need to shut down my mind via meditation or by understanding “speak thinking” to bring my mind to stillness by stopping the self-talk thinking in my mind and allow the intuitive thinking mind to flourish in silent awareness. In the silence and with the help of one’s intuitive awareness I access another repository that is the repository of the Truth of Things. I am only watching this vast repository of information. I am asking it questions via an intention in mind. I am working things out about matters that concern me about myself and my purpose here on this planet. I am not working it out by accessing my own repository of my past in me but rather from the vast repository of the natural space of the universe that maintains everything in order. A stable divine space created by the divine space of the universe. While I converse with the universe – I realize I am far away from the mind that I knew before of this and that and bouncing off the walls of my own limitations of what is known to me as a kind of self-talk thinking as to this new exclusively greater mind of the universe with its vast repository where everything in it is True and it is the repository of the Truth of things.
- The mind that I knew of is long gone but still available in the periphery if I needed it.
- My new mind:
- Now ask the divine space any question you need to know:
- What is the ultimate truth of life?
- “Is life worth living?”
- Ask any question via intention in mind and an answer is guaranteed back to you from the repository of the TRUTH. No thinking on your part is needed. Just find your way to that space in mind where everything is possible.
Don’t think you can think your way into experiencing the divine universe and feel the whole. You have to come to it and bow down before it and with its grace, because your mind is where it is, silent and listening, it gradually tells you its secrets and don’t think it is going to be speaking to you, but you can “hear” it in our thoughts, as a sense of knowing, and these thoughts are now, not your own.
In time the mind, and this space, will evolve as the whole is formed not by your thinking but by silent receiving.
Just give me a solid answer. I don’t want to be fooled by satisfaction. Tell me as it is, so I can get on the path.
I guess this might be it:
“We do not live in a world of dreams, but in a Universe which while relative, is real so far as our lives and actions are concerned. Our business in the Universe is not to deny its existence, or to spend all of our time trying to figure it out, but to LIVE while we are alive, using the Laws to rise from lower to higher–living on, doing the best that we can under the circumstances arising each day, and living, so far as is possible, to our biggest ideas and ideals. The true Meaning of Life is not known to men on this plane if, to any–but the highest authorities, and our own intuitions, teach us that we will make no mistake in living up to the best that is in us, so far as is possible, and realizing the Universal tendency in the same direction in spite of apparent evidence to the contrary. We are all on The Path–and the road leads upward ever, with frequent resting places.”
Interpretation of Mr. Scott Ramsey from the book “THE KYBALION”.
Mr Ramsey’s summary of “The Kybalion” is here:
HERMETICISM The Principle of Mentalism
The universe might be a world of dreams to us (mind and body and 5 senses translations of reality) but it is still real in reality. It might not look like what we see it to be but it still exists. Keeping that in mind we are all in the same path in trying to figure the WHOLE while we ourselves evolve in the process and develop “the powers latent in man/woman”.
I would say then this diagram below is not a bad summary for anybody who wants to know the PATH and have some idea of what to do to find the WHOLE (reality)?
I still say that if your mind is not sat a certain way, in silence in an intuitive space for “thinking” one is going to be stuck in that noisy cauldron that we call our mind, with its limitations, and everything else that comes with it.
“By a knowledge of the Principle of Vibration, as applied to Mental Phenomena, one may polarize his mind at any degree he wishes, thus gaining a perfect control over his mental states, moods, etc. In the same way he may affect the minds of others, producing the desired mental states in them.”
A little reflection on what we have said will show that the Principle of Vibration underlies the wonderful phenomena of the power manifested by the Masters and Adepts, who are able to apparently set aside the Laws of Nature, but who, in reality, are simply using one law against another; one principle against others; and who accomplish their results by changing the vibrations of material objects, or forms of energy, and thus perform what are commonly called “miracles.”

Siri Perera’s answer to Can people really move things with their mind?
One lives the cycle of life and death repeated until all is known.
In the meantime don’t forget to learn some coding as that is the latest trend right now I hear in our reality. But then there is AI and the internet of things trying to recreate the WHOLE and connecting us to the unseen so we can better understand the real thing.
The WHOLE: As it is above so it is below: below, builds up in layers as we ascend the evolutionary cycle of the mind. Slow is fine, but we need these discoveries to move forward in leaps and bounds with giant leaps into the future of the WHOLE and the MIND.
