Our mind is not one. It is multi-psychic. There are multiple minds within us.
Today I was just observing all the different minds that were present within me. It was really eye-opening. There’s an entire army of minds within me. Each mind has a different personality, different values, different goals and desires. They each have their own way of speaking and looking at the world.
Listing them out can be quite challenging, but let me try.
The judgemental mind · the planner · the past oriented mind · the comparer · the competitor · the praiser · the insultor · the pacifier · the worrier · the ambitious one · the defender · the pusher · the condemner · the addict · the health freak · the let go one · the calm one · the hyper one · the angry one · the adamant one · the strict one · the easy going one · the self loather · the self praiser · the arguer · the pushover · the wanderer · the one who likes to stay put · the adventurer · the ponderer · the narrator · the materialist · the spiritualist · the ‘I will show you’ one · the lustful one · the respectful.
I am sure if I keep looking, I’ll keep finding more minds.
This is allowing me to get a deeper understanding about what the hell is going on inside me. There is an entire crowd within me. And each of them are just waiting to pounce, to take control.
It doesn’t matter to the mind how its being used or which version is active. It doesn’t matter whether its useful or not. It just wants to stay alive.
The mind is millions of years old. Its ancient. There’s nothing new in the mind. Its a protective mechanism for it to keep running the show. As long as there’s noise, its alive. It even makes two different minds argue against each other for this.
Silence is a state of no mind. When none of these characters are active, there’s no thought floating around — that state is the natural state of our being.
The mind is man made. It is an addon. It is a disturbance. Our true nature is beyond the mind. That’s who is conscious of all the minds. I am that.
And as I get more of the activities of the mind into light, the more power the mind loses. If the entirety of the mind becomes conscious, then the mind cannot bother me anymore.
I reclaim my position as the Master. Something that I never lost, only forgot.
