Discovering your mind



   The mind operates like a camera: it creates, captures and records reality. Its depths are unfathomable and its energy unlimited. People rarely live in a state of innocence (i.e. spontaneous energy, the innocence of the "child-within-us"), the quality that gives us access to the magic of life.

   In  fact, most people don’t want anything to do with this magic: they  prefer security, predictability and even boredom. This is why they function automatically and superficially, with a mind that calculates, judges, operates with military  precision and organises according to pre-established habits. This mind-set is narrow, uncoordinated and thinks it knows everything; but it doesn’t know innovation, freshness or the magic of life.

   However, each of us feels intuitively that there is another dimension where we can encounter good fortune, success and prosperity. I call this aspect the intuitive mind because it is agile, receptive, resourceful and lives in the present. This “attentive” mind is rather like a well-trained athlete, a disciplined dancer, a master of martial arts or a master chess-player. It has all the subtlety, suppleness, scope and knowledge required to be perfectly at ease with anyone in any situation.

   This is our natural mind-set;  it is our spontaneous way of thinking.

   However, it is usually suffocated early in life by training and education which force us to “unlearn” our natural way of being and impose an artificial model. In general terms, this artificial education is transmitted inadvertently by people who have themselves been artificially orientated and who are suffering as a consequence. Condemning others is never a solution: we can only work on ourselves to rectify the situation.

   It is therefore necessary to have a major "clear-out" in our mind to enable it to achieve its full potential and true self-knowledge, a personal wisdom that is only achieved by and for yourself.

   Our heads are filled with so many kinds of different thoughts that we can’t even think in the present. This mental dialogue is constantly with us and keeps trotting out the same old questions, opinions, concerns, cautions: who we have to be, what we have to say, what we have to do, how to do it, when to do it, what other people think, what they are going to do, how that happened, what we need to look out for and so on.

   We don’t enjoy the freedom to act instinctively in the same way as animals or a Master Initiate

   The human mind is like a bridge that provides a transition between an individual’s lower and upper dimensions: it can lead to lack of awareness which results in problems, difficulties and misfortunes, or to Initiation which results in harmony, prosperity and happiness.

   And only YOU can make that choice.
 
   We both know that you have the will and ability to make the right choice. This is why I am revealing the Secrets that are essential for your success.
