Now
I`ll focus more on the “thoughts” element. What is thought? This is a form of
manifestation of our essence knowledge with feeling about our surrounding, on
the level of inner world. We think only what we “know”, we cant think something
we don’t know, or don’t expect. In this way thought is a big source of energy
flow. Thought is focused in the mind (third eye, consciousness) and heart
(acceptance, awareness). That’s how always in the human there is link between
mind (thought) and heart. This is represented with Jesus words with “look
lustfully”. The look is the acceptance, reflection of outer world on your mind,
lust connects with primal feelings. By cutting this connection of these
feelings and preventing them to enter our mind and heart, we stop the growing of
the lust into sin. The sin is already committed trough letting the intention of
it to enter our mind. That’s how we need to be aware (in heart) of this link
stop its flow. This stop is in our control.
* I`ll
ask the same question like for feelings. Can we control our thoughts? Yes, we
can. How this happens? With our intention and willpower. This is the way.
Another way is by spiritual practices to make empty your mind –meditation,
being in the nature, being alone, prayer, mantras, creative process. That is
how we cleanse the mind, and the thoughts. Human thoughts also have more
levels. We have thoughts like tangled threads of many colors. Thoughts are
reflection also about our feelings (and visa versa). For example – we feel
sadness from loss of animal, that reflects naturally our thoughts to go in
direction of this loss. This natural flow of sadness from –feelings-thoughts
will increase our feeling. The more you feel, the more you attract. The more we
feel sadness, the more and longer we ll continue to feel loss, and more our
mind will be full of that same hard feeling. In the blue. Another example – of
opposite connection. We don’t know a person, but we meet him, we view him in
way of something “mysterious”, we feel attracted to this person by “mind”. Be aware
this is not the “higher mind”, but the “eyes” and thoughts in form of colored
threads. So we think of him, how nice he is, what lovely gestures, shape, face,
eyes, hair, appearance, the way he smiles…so on. From that thoughts we already
“pour” simultaneously the energy of love in our heart. We think – and we start
to feel. That process is so smooth in human nature and that’s what they call
“to be in love”. But that’s one of the most illusionary feelings. Why is so?
Exactly because it does not come from heart in first place. The energy we
create in this case flows from mind (thought pattern). Our eyes are attracted
by something from outer world unknown to us. We “translate” all the actions,
parts, appearance of our object in ways we desire. So I desire him to be
beautiful, so I see him “really” beautiful, even if he has defect. If he is
stuttering, or with bigger nose, or anything else, I`ll see this as charming
defect. This is how the feeling of love looks from the mist of
(thought-feeling) pattern. But why this is an illusion after all?
* I
can probably discover later that the object of my admiration, has qualities
that are valued from me –he is compassionate, loving, good…But if the energy
flows from my mind (thoughts-eyes) – down to heart, this process is too fast. I
can not realize it, and my impression is that I feel from “heart” and have love
“in my heart”. While I create for myself this so good illusion that I “love”.
In real this is my need to feel love. When you need to –so you will be
convinced you do.
What
will be then really from heart? Human heart –if we let it open and pure –will
be easily aware of our calls. Heart is connected with the higher mind, and
wisdom lies in it. If we want to feel love, we need not just to open our heart,
but to be aware and present. The true energy starts from heart and spreads to
all energy centers. If this happens the process will not be fast, but slower.
We will realize things about someone, discover more about his inner qualities,
feel the goodness of his heart, understand his thought patterns, and just
then…we can say we “feel”. The wisdom of heart will open the eyes of our mind,
and then we`ll see this object in way of beauty, even if he is not beautiful. (3)
* That’s how the connection between heart
and mind is immanent. The best way to fall in trap of fake “love” – is to
create illusion of it in his mind and believe in it. Then it can be real for
you, but you accept the great risk of falling down. Usually such illusionary
love is first, when we are young. (3)
** After
all I`ll point out one so amazing quote of the teacher Lao Tzu: “stop thinking
and end your problems”. Even so short, it contains so much. The question he
puts is “how you can end your problems?”, and he answers – by stop thinking. What
is that mean? As I stated just little above in the love-way example, the energy
that does not come first from heart, or comes while our heart is not pure, is
not good and can be harmful. Heart s the center of our being and human nature;
while Mind (thoughts patterns from outside physical world) without heart
connection creates illusion. That is Fata Morgana. We think we see water in
the desert, while all images are in our mind. So what we call “mind” (thought
pattern) is biggest creator of illusions –as it brings patterns from physical
world and try to apply them in invisible world. That creates confusion of mind,
chaos, untruth and illusions. Lao Tzu says – if you want to stop your problems
in the world and inside of you –stop your mind (thoughts) to create illusions.
In other words –empty your mind, be free from the social restrictions, world
obstacles that are obstacles of your mind. Free yourself from the expectation
of others, From the empty mind, you wont be able to pour illusion and fake
feelings in your heart. that’s how your problems will be ended. So simple. (4)
