The human mind is a fascinating tool. It is sufficiently complex to do anything, anything at all. The number of possible combinations and permutations of the neurons in the human brain is larger than the number of atoms in the entire Universe. This is a truly amazing, nearly infinitely complex machine, capable of realizing any truth, of having any experience. The human brain is sufficiently subtle that it can even experience consciousness itself, the most abstract essence of everything. Part of the secret is to charm the mind during every phase of this transformation. The mind is always greedy for more experience, more love, more peace, more stimulation, more knowledge -- always more. The fortunate fact is that the field of most already lies within -- the mind just needs to learn how to take the correct angle, then the entire process is perfectly automatic. Indeed, it will be impossible to stop the new grooves in the brain from deepening and intensifying until the older grooves are overshadowed and eventually erased. The reason for this is that the natural state of human consciousness is enlightenment! The human mind would rather function with flawless and one-pointed desiring than in any other way. It would rather permanently experience its most expanded state than any more limited quality of its being. This requires only the slightest of modifications in the way it has been taught to view itself and its world; this miraculous transformation occurs automatically. Primarily, it is guilt and fear that keep the mind caught in the belief that it is not enlightened. This may not be immediately obvious, but a careful and honest scrutiny of your own mind will reveal that there are usually only two kinds of thoughts -- those that are based in love and are unifying and those that are based in fear and are dividing. If you closely watch your mind for even five minutes, you will probably be quite astounded by the myriad of pointless and mutually contradictory thoughts and desires you experience. We have in our possession the most incredible machine in the Universe, capable of experiencing any reality, competent to discover any truth, equipped to accomplish any desire. What is typically being done with this magnificent machine? The standard mode of operation is to switch between mutually contradictory thoughts and desires dozens of times every minute! If the mind were a radio receiver, it would be as if it were being switched between channels every second or so -- it would make for a noisy, unpleasant reception, hard to follow. It would, in fact, be so hard to follow that you would feel exhausted after trying to listen to it for a few hours; you would feel forced to turn it off and just listen to nothing at all for a time. This is our experience in the waking state. The mind is a receiver of perceptions, images and thoughts; they file through it in unending succession until it becomes so exhausted it has to shut down to restore its badly depleted molecular resources and subtle powers. Hence we sleep. The mind is not just a receiver of sensory information. It is sufficiently subtle to connect directly to the mindstuff that is the fundamental constituent of the Universe -- the mind is a machine that connects you, the individual, to the Universal Source of everything, to the Ascendant. When the mind is one-pointed, when its energies are concentrated as one, it is capable of not only experiencing the Ascendant but of transmitting its desires into the Ascendant.
www.awakeningpath.com The life of every person is sacred. The revelation of that sacredness is often revealed by a person's contribution to humanity. In many cases, that contribution is only revealed after death. Maharishi Sadashiva Isham (MSI) was such an individual. MSI's life was punctuated by the desire to know. His search was not for knowledge but for Truth. Truth was most important to him and he shared that Truth in total commitment to healing the world. The message of his life -- that perfection on Earth is not only possible but imminent -- is gathering momentum and manifesting in the rapid growth of consciousness seen in all who practice the simple techniques of the Ishayas.
