 | The mind... the mad woman in the attic as it was called by the mystic Teresa de Jesus, that´s not the problem by itself. The problem (a way to speak, there´s no really what we call problems) begins when you become identified with the sad or happy script of what you call your life That script is made by the mad woman in the attic (the mind). If you use your mind for practical things, that´s wonderful... Good, good... This tool (the mind) is made for that. Just for that... The real issue is about stopping the dreadful addiction to thinking and thinking and projecting towards the past or the future far away from practical purposes. The real issue is about being or not identified with the script in the mind... Because, my dear, we are really neither the thoughts nor the emotions manifested in our bodies. What we really are is beyond those things appearing and disappearing, coming and going... Of course words are only pointers, words only swim on the surface of the truth. Nobody can describe it but only pointing towards it. This truth, what you really are, should be tasted by yourself. Nobody can walk with your shoes. How can you get it? When will you get it? Who knows my dear... However it never happens fighting against (opposite to) the mind, the worlds, your afflictions... As the sages use to say, just look, listen, be still, be present... There´s nothing really to do, or yes? All you really need is here and now within you. |
