Mental Inklings Nurturing Demand. MIND.

[Michael K.]

What then is mind? From whence did it arise? What are thoughts? These are many questions arising from the idea of what is mind? As the title of this post says that mind is, mental-inklings-nurturing-demand, who then is doing the demanding? And from where does this demander arise from? Each question tends to promote another question, so can we trace it all back to the original point of where the question was born! The birth of all questions that will arise in your life time, begin with the birth of the "I" which also happens to be the birth of the ego as well.

From this "birth" there is also the creation of want we call mind. Before we go any further into this, we need to understand that we are all creators, and what we create within us is the ego, the personality, and the mind, all these three which I call the unholy trinity are constructs of our own making, and begin the moment the the "I" is born within us.

The birth of the first thought is "I WANT" and ITs mine leave it alone! This is the birth place of the unholy trinity which manifests as ego, personality ,and mind. Consciousness and awareness are nothing to do with mind, consciousness and awareness are eternal principles, the mind is a construct created by you. What then are thoughts? Thoughts are basically fulfilling servants of the "I" and create avenues where your wants can be satisfied, and your needs met.

We cannot create consciousness or awareness we exist within the infinite embrace of both, and within that field we live and move and have our being, it may come as a little fat fetched that we are the creators of these things, in order to better understand this we need to see just what it is we are, we are basically living beings, life, we did not create this life, absolutely not, for life by its very nature of being alive ,is an eternal principle, and we at our core of being , are all eternal immortal beings. What we actually create is that which we call our personalities, which is made up of the ego, personality, and mind, we create these three unholy trinities and live within them all of our lives and mostly never suspect that we created and gave birth to all this mental construction , what great builders we are, and think we built all this without planning permission???

The mind is the home of all thoughts, along with the personality and ego when we can lose our minds, then we have pure consciousness and awareness without any thoughts.

I just posted this poem today, which addresses the line of inquiry, from my perspective:

Dance of Shiva

Just imagine
Head as a balloon
A periscope feeling earth
With heart as the seat
Of soul essence

Senses five
Powered by mind
Interact and interpret
Duality at play
Witnessed

Separation
Of head and heart
Allows us to feel contrast
Manifest epiphany
Lucid dream

Union
Of polarities
Aligned with God’s love
Suffuses us thus
With bliss

There then
Being no seeking
Tango dancing, so becoming
Vibrant God-essence
Here now

Rephrased, it’s but a game of separation and union. To feel duality, ego-identity, rooted in head interacts in the world, feeling contrast. To feel fully, it must enter hypnotic trance. The problem arises when it mistakenly believes in separate existence from God, the source. Were it not for this, it’s all fun and games!

Once head melds with heart, then with each breath we are both in but not of the world, kind of like we have the cake and eat it too!

Many thanks Unseeking seeker, I really enjoy your poems, they flow with an ethereal majesty.
We indeed have to lose our minds in order to find the Self.

Thoughts are things, such say ancient occult maxim. thoughts are the home of mind, and mind is the home of the ego and personality, wherefore then is the home of the SELF ? Is awareness within the mind, or does it transcend it.

It is said that awareness always IS and exists without consciousness, but
consciousness cannot exist without awareness. Has the mind really a home
or it it just a useful lodger like a parasite that feeds us thoughts until we can
understand that finding the inner SELF does not require thought, but rather just silence instead.

Our "I" am awareness conjures up this thought provoking spectre and it sticks to us like you know what, until we see it and understand it for what it is, which
is an experience thought led probe that enables one to reason out problems and to recognise who you really are by thought mind led experiences.
