I think our frontline process of thinking is not fit for purpose. It is limited by personality, subjectivity and experience. The verbal-thinking mind is not capable of finding anything new because its repository is knowledge and is of what is already known. One’s mind needs to find other mind spaces that can work faster and more efficiently and more truthful than our present frontline thinking process.

The reason why we are still skirting around the periphery of all our problems in society, in general, is because we have not seen this solution in us which, once seen, and then experienced with a simple procedure in the mind, will overnight revolutionise one whole state of being. 

The reason people have not experienced this is because they are not shown this final solution, as if they are saving it for another day, and yet they could have made it easy for us and gave it to us from the day they discovered it, many thousands of years ago. But they rather spiralled around the Truth of things, perhaps waiting for the moment when the time was right as if we have had to experience the rest of it until the final solution is shown to us and I am going to suggest to you what this might be. It will allow oneself to anchor to this central Truth and one will find that all explanations, whatever it is, will come off and be answered by this state of “being” in our minds. This is a very tangible process. It is something that you can “touch”. It is the end of the spiral of the discovery of our true self.

Notice that in the past, we have always centred on personality, an individual, to give us this Truth in us. We go to Church, the temples and other places of worship and it has always been about that person at the helm. So you keep focused on a human being and try and understand why is he or she is special and try and follow what they do and we worship in that way. What we don’t realise is that those who we worship as special really have found what we already naturally have in us but have yet to implement it in ourselves. The state of being of Jesus and the Buddha’s before us have already discovered this gateway beyond the mind and remained in this new mind of theirs and they spoke confidently about what the Truth of things is really all about. 

The theory of everything need not be proven to us but can be felt and experienced in us if our mind is centred a certain way. To change the way we think and I don’t mean all this chit chat about thinking, no; it is a physical phenomenon on the way the mind needs to move away from the place where it is at the moment and find a new place to think from. This mind space is the centre of the world in us and it is connected to the centre of the physical Universe from where we all came from. If one is askew from it, just slightly off centre from the universe then we tend to think we see it and know it and experience this in our creative process with endless processes trying to find this thing you know you can sense but just cannot get to it. 

So really all art is really this “suffering” of the creative process to try and get to it and yet always falling short of the centre. One manifestation after another and thinking as to how to capture that final discovery; not that not this, neti neti (Neti neti, meaning, “Not this, not this”, is the method of Vedic analysis of negation) and because we are looking at things in a somewhat blurred vision. We are looking at it via personality. We are not looking at it via the Cosmic mind and we have a Cosmic mind.

We come with 2 personalities. One is our experiential personality which is subjective (why do you think politicians struggle to get it right for us), and the another is also a way of thinking by just being aware of the “”Truth of Things” via conscious awareness.

So does one want to look at things in your life via a Lie in You from your subjective personality or just being aware of that which is true and which will always be true and unchanging?

We need to get here where others have been and done some great things with that space in their minds. We need to get there, like Edison of the light bulb:

You can see others have been to that special place in your mind. It is not as if it does not exist. A place where all is True. You find your solutions there and then bring them back to your frontline of thinking and sort your problems out; invent from the “Truth if Things; from the repository of the Universe were everything already exists. Frontline thinking and the creative process does not have to be, I know something is there but not sure what it is, type of creative process but rather see it directly as a fact of existence or a probability possibility and not something you made up with your subjective personality-driven mind. Let’s face it solutions comes from the Truth and not from the limitations of thinking and the personality but personality and thinking can use elements off the Truth of Things, off the repository of the Universe, to manifest possibilities to the living space and to society that will make our stay here on Earth a comfortable stay vacation for all of us.

So, first, get off the frontline of thinking to find other mind spaces. One needs to discover what else is there in other mind spaces in our minds. 

The most important thing one needs to do is to get off the frontline of thinking so you know that there are other mind spaces in existence: stop verbal thinking.

You will find that as soon as you stop verbalising your thoughts (verbal thinking or “speak thinking”) other mind spaces and thinking processes will start to show up and now you can see them clearly. Meditation will help you here to stop verbal thinking by using a mantra BUT you can stop verbalising your thoughts anytime while going about your daily activities if you see this anomaly in you that in verbal thinking you have to simultaneously silently speak what you want to think for you to think at all. Verbal Thinking is really also, like speaking aloud, sound first. 

If you see this anomaly in you and experience it; the slight fluttering of the vocal cords of what you are thinking and that gentle vibration in your chest cavity, then use that feeling to stop verbal thinking in its tracts. The mind then comes off the edge of noise and chaos and falls into silence in mind. This is what they are not telling you that meditation and the mantra are to distract you from verbal thinking and hence your thoughts. The use of the mantra and the anomaly with the vocal cords are 2 gates one can use to access the silent mind. The mantra circles off the periphery and comes in as a distracting tool to stop verbal thinking BUT the anomaly in verbal thinking is the direct source of the process of verbal thinking. So you deal with it directly to stop verbal thinking and to bring on a silent mind. 

Meditation in a quiet spot, eyes shut, with a mantra and in the comfort of a warm corner of a room is one way to stop verbal thinking and the reminder of the flutter of the vocal cords is a way to stop verbal thinking, anywhere anytime, walking, talking etc. Meditation will show you how to get there initially and see the mind spaces and then when “awake” the anomaly in verbal thinking can help you stay quiet in mind all day long. 

Imagine watching the vastness of the Himalayas in springtime with conscious awareness only and not a single thought is allowed to enter the mind all day long or looking at the distant horizon of the ocean with no chatter in mind and being able to have full control over your thoughts and just be in conscious awareness. Just observation and no thinking and the magic of having control over the no thinking process.

Separate out the different thinking processes so you can see them better:

When the mind is in silence and with time the mind spaces start to open up to you:

And you will never be the same again:

And finally, a quote from OSHO about “If you want to experience Godliness”:

“And if you want to experience Godliness – just a little bit of meditation, a little bit of becoming thoughtless and remaining aware. When your awareness is there and thoughts start dropping like leaves in the fall, and when there is only awareness and there is not a single thought there, you will have the taste, the very taste on your tongue, of what I am saying. And unless you have tasted it, don’t believe me; don’t believe anyone, because belief can become a barrier. You may become satisfied with the belief, and you may never try”.
