A New Mind

There is no way the thinking mind can perceive reality. It's difficult to go beyond the thinking mind because of the ego. The ego and the self are intertwined and when the mind expands into the universe with a flow of energy, the ego drags it back to the self like a bungee cord.

To go beyond thoughts one must go into the void, between thoughts. The void is the space of reality because it is a space of no thoughts and no ego. Within the space there is silence - a silence free of old way of thinking. It is necessary to go into the silence if you are to experience reality in its truest sense.

The thinking mind always has a question and always wants an answer.  In order to go beyond the conditioned mind you must develop another way of perceiving;  a higher sense you might say. 

The new perception comes from the complete understanding that you know nothing. The mind must be empty of all preconceived ideas, prejudices and desires. The new mind is formed on the void and opens to new perceptions and responses. Brand new pathways are formed in the brain leaving behind material embedded in the old memory. Being free from the past, the new mind is allowed to see beyond the confines of the imprisoned self that cannot go beyond the ego. 

By existing in the void and free from old thinking a new reality emerges. Simply exist in the new reality and relax into it for as long as you like.

The wall of tensions is the wall of my ego.  The impulse to look into the depth of oneself is an indispensable step in the evolution of consciousness.  Nothing is either certain or pure without this.
