Mind is crazy thing, and mystical too. Wonderful things come out of this mind if intent is good, most creative and paying ideas too and most destructive forces are also outcome of this very mind. It seems to be that intent is the real force behind the direction of mind.
Since mind is such an interesting thing, or is it a thing at all? Well that’s debatable too – do you think it is thing (physical) or no-thing (non-physical)? Anyways, we are going to talk about mind and with a Zen perspective.
Look at a painting, or just look at the screen – oh you are looking – this is mind. Your mind, my mind and God knows who else’s mind. Now look at an empty wall now!
Why aren’t you looking? Look at an empty wall!
Yes, that’s pure mind.
Confused? Well, what is written here in words is mind, I’ve taken energy that creates world and focused it through my perception and consciousness and made it into something that mind can perceive and what mind can perceive is mind.
And the original energy, pure energy is pure mind, and only pure mind can perceive it. Nothing crazy we are just talking about same thing as we did in first paragraph of this post, it’s just at a different level.
Want to know what I am talking about? Want to experience the power of pure mind? Want to get a whiff of broader perspective – the real you?! Practice Zazen – and when you are doing it – you will be, live, have and perceive pure mind.
And never again will you doubt your unlimited potential.
Do it now, and once you are done – do come back and share your experience. And if you have somehting to add, question or say – you have comment section where you can turn mind into pure mind.
