One sits in meditation and feels the tug of the mind, ideas form into concepts...the rollercoaster of thoughts begin as a thought arises, then additional thoughts connect to this one until we realize that what we are trying to do is STOP this...
Picture the mind as a pyramid of concepts...to stand on the ground is to know that only this moment exists, as the thought pattern builds more blocks are added, further and further until the pyramid is complete and we can see over the trees of the jungle to what appears to be a new site to build another thought...pyramids of thoughts collapse and are rebuilt as the ebb and flow of the mind compels us onto other "ideals" and forms and concepts...
To release the mind is to see the thoughts that control and to understand them only to be thoughts, to know that nothing stays the same, to know that the next breath is a new day...this to will pass.
The Ego Mind will never entirely leave (the basis of who WE THINK we are) but the awareness and understanding that the Ego Mind is powerful and to understand how to overcome its influence is a return to the Natural Mind...the Mind that lives in unity with the universe, the Mind that sees thought patterns but does not define itself by them...
Fear is in the eye of the Mind that sees permanence...Fear of the changing of thoughts and ideals, of I and mine...Knowledge destroys fear, the knowing of our every changing existence is to know that the Natural Mind flows...resistance is futile and only brings wounds and suffering.
To embrace impermance and to know that good and bad, this to will pass...is a moto of the Meditators Mind...to not grasp to forms and concepts, yet see them for what they are, a thought...
Reality is a concept of thought patterns, what is reality? when we think we are awake? A "dream" during sleep can be just as real...are you waking from a dream or into a greater dream...to embrace the dreams as every changing, shaping your "reality" to reflect your thoughts...embrace with love, fear falls aside, and the meditators mind no longer contemplates the concept of reality, but lives with the understanding that all will pass...live a life of love, in whatever dream you are living.
