Mind Awareness

If you don’t have awareness of your mind, your mind will control you. Your freedom is contingent on this and either there will be awareness to be in control or your mind will be in control…

If you don’t have awareness of what goes on between your ears, your mind will have control over you. And mostly likely it will manifest behavior not conducive of love. This is not easy to understand because of the lack of developed awareness. If you investigate this, you’ll not only notice where your stories come from, but also see how they don’t add anything beneficial to your life. Yet you create them, but it’s not really you who does this, it’s the unaware mind. You will understand this truth when you stop being controlled by your mind and stop creating unnecessary stories. By learning to be aware of your mind, you’ll gain control over your emotional state and the way you react to situations. By being controlled by your mind you are pulled around as if you are a dog on a leash, but I think a dog actually has more freedom.

When there isn’t a created story what remains is emptiness and you are that emptiness. Not in the sense that there’s nothing there, but more so because your mind is not in control. The Conditioned Mind is diabolical and will not allow you to understand this emptiness because it will mean you are gaining control over it. It’s the last thing the Conditioned Mind wants you to do because it’s the end of the control it has over you…
