Mind Intro
Spirital teachings often denounce the mind as the primary obstacle to awakening, but, as a mental type myself, I disagree. The mind is not powerful enough to derail you unless you agree to being derailed. It's just that most of us have become deeply entrenched in the habit of bowing down to our mind as if it was our spiritual master. Truth is, you don't need to do that. I've changed that habit for myself and I can help you do the same. The real key is the willingness to feel the fear that triggers our attention into mind.
Not only is the mind not necessarily an obstacle, but the mind can be an important tool in awakening. It helps us understand the process so we can know where to put our attention, what to investigate. It helps us understand what teachers, mentors, and peers are saying about their own experience, and what to be aware of. The mind is a tool to be used in service of awakening, but it is not running the show of your life or your awakening process.
The essays I've posted on this website all come from my experience and are expressed through my mind. They carry a tranmission of awakening Being. By reading them, you might find yourself feeling that transmission moving through your mind and into the rest of your Being. I hope they help you to awaken and find yourself free to be who you uniquely are.
