F.: The consciousness, whether corrupted or not, is always in motion. The more that the consciousness is corrupted, the more it moves. The more purified it is, the less it moves. Ultimately, for peace to happen, the consciousness must be re-purified to the degree that it can see all untruth, can be free of belief in all concepts, and can then undertstand the truth of Reality. At that point, even the Am-ness is transcended and abidance happens as the Absolute.
Some seek to move into the samadhi state, revealing they have yet to Realize fully. Among the Realized, such movement ends. Full Realization is marked by stabilization, so there is no “entering into samadhi” and no “leaving samadhi.” Instability is instability.
Beginning tomorrow, site visitors will be allowed to see how the warped consciousness produces a conglomeration of lies and distortions and untruths called the “mind.” Then, you will be allowed to see how the illusions of “the mind” generate the constant movement of the contaminated consciousness and arouse thoughts that prevent peace during the day, that interrupt sleep at night, and that guarantee instability for the entire manifestation if the seven-step journey to Reality is not completed.
Many Advaitin pointers deal with the corruption of the consciousness and the requirement to reject identification with the body and the “mind” in order to begin the “journey” to Full Realization. So many want to "still the mind," but the title of the book There’s No Such Thing As “Peace of Mind” points to the fact that consciousness is always in motion. The movements of contaminated consciousness generate the highest levels of stress and instability and disharmony and suffering and chaos, but even the movements of the non-contaminated consciousness can generate unsteadiness. Only by first focusing on the "I Am" only, and then eventually transcending even that concentration on the “I AM,” can abidance as the Absolute happen and can all unevenness end.
The levels of corruption of the consciousness vary, often with age: the longer the period of manifestation, the more likely is the chance for increased exposure to the corrupting elements of programming, conditioning and enculturation. Only if the “mind” has been rejected and then all of the remaining steps to Full Realization have been completed can one abide in the fixed state of the Absolute and be exempt from emotional intoxication and from the fluctuations of consciousness in motion.
Many suppose that the levels of disharmony that are generated by the “mind” and discussed on this site only apply to those in the deepest stages of personality disorders or to those who are clinically insane. That is not the case. Years of dealing with thousands of seekers has allowed the re-purified consciousness to witness the corrupted consciousness in motion, and the effects of that corruption have been observed in sessions with persons from all “levels” of society, including…
…corporate heads who have “excellent standing” in the business community; with addicts who have “hit bottom” and are seeking recovery; with pastors and priests who counsel others in “the way to be at peace” (a way they have not yet found); with a wealthy hedge-fund manager whose acumen in forecasting market swings leaves competitors and investors in awe; with seekers who have served time in prison; with “the righteous” and with “the riotous.”
The corrupted consciousness honors no man-made divisions that involve the duality of “failure” vs. “success”; instead, it crosses all social, economic, racial, and national lines that are contrived by the non-Realized.
Most admirers of those persons above who present such magnificent fronts and such well-groomed images would likely be shocked if they were allowed to venture into the dark abyss of the “minds” of those they hold in such high esteem. Beginning tomorrow, site visitors will be invited to journey into that darkness for a few moments in order to see the machinations of the “mind” and to witness all of the spinning and twisting and distorting as it happens…in real time. The journey into the functioning of three “minds” offered as examples (which will expose the shifting and instability of warped consciousness) will take you into those narrow regions, those specialized junctions where synapses direct the ever-moving traffic of the corrupted consciousness in motion.
The examples will not evidence the worst cases of corrupted consciousness, by far. Nor will they be examples of the least corrupted. They are, in fact, rather typical of what has been witnessed over the last eighteen years. You may not relate to the particular experiences that the persons in the illustrations will discuss, but the point is to see what the corrupted consciousness looks like as it whirls and twirls through its never-ceasing, always-shifting, activity.
You will see the phantoms that float through the mental and emotional abyss of bastardized consciousness as deep-seated beliefs become entangled with distorted thoughts. You will see things that the Realized do not see because those things are obvious illusions in the “minds” of three who are trapped in their personas and twisted thinking; nevertheless, those illusions are held to be true by the three whose “minds” have convinced them that their perspectives are “real” and “right” and “true” (though their points of view are actually irrational justifications for their conduct...rooted in self-serving distortions).
These spaces that you will visit form a region of mental unsteadiness which might at one moment be a zone of seeming gloom and at the next moment a province of seeming happiness; yet, neither extreme is real, in actuality. All three “minds” are territories in which the poisons of conditioning and programming fertilize the polluted soil in which concepts and belief are rooted and sustained. Those poisons provide toxic sustenance for ego-states and judgments and arrogance and hate. Yet, ironically, it is the same terrain in which notions about "caring" and "love" can bloom at times, even though those notions really have nothing to do with love at all and are embroiled in more of the self-serving agendas of ego-states.
At the core of these “minds” is a lethal command post that issues hit lists and provides marching orders for the distorted thoughts, the vile words, and the destructive deeds that are typical among non-Realized persons…all of this relatively speaking of course. Yet these “minds” are more often the rule than the exception across the entire planet.
In preparation for this study of the instability that is generated by the constantly-in-motion consciousness, you are invited to be especially alert to your own thoughts today. Pause as soon as your “mind” begins to crank out a thought. Note how many thoughts (and judgments) that it can generate in just a few hours. Then, identify the true sources of all those contradictory or self-motivated thoughts: is the frustrated child within involved? Are false identities—assumed to be real—trying to convince you or others that their false public image is real?
Finally, understand that the only reason to visit the dark “mind” of persons trapped in concepts and beliefs and ideas and dogma is to be able to recognize the dark place and then avoid it. Please enter the silence of contemplation. (To be continued)
