It is through gratitude for the Present Moment that the spiritual dimension of Life opens up.
-Eckhart Tolle
Mind Fanatic
I am such a mind fanatic. I am so, so intrigued by the human mind and I always have been. It just fascinates me to delve into its three layers and to see the how's and whys of human behaviour there. I see the mind as the cause of human suffering and I also see understanding it as the solution.
The power of core beliefs has been amongst one of the many things I have tried to understand. I honestly believe our thoughts and beliefs are fundamental producers of the Life we are experiencing...both the inner and the outer.
Greater- Self Fanatic
I am also fascinated by the deeper dimensions of the so called 'self'...which to me is a Self that goes way beyond the limitations of "I", "me", and "mine", that goes way beyond mental concepts and individuality.
So I read whatever I can, I study scripture both western and eastern. I read the works of great philosophers, poets, writers, scientists, psychologists/psychiatrists, and teachers that have walked the planet. I try to figure it all out on my own as well...to determine what feels right etc. I observe and I watch humans, including myself. I meditate and go deeper to ask the big questions. I pray. I teach to learn.
Life Student
I am a life long student of the mind and that which lay as a background to the mind.
It is all so amazing to me. Even if I never get the answers I seek...the process of asking is so exciting for some reason. And the more I ask, the more I think I learn. With the more I think I learn, comes the realization ...the less I actually know and therefore the more I ask. It seems to be a big beautiful cycle that never ends but throughout it all, the more peaceful I become...the more accepting and grateful I am for what is.
I keep my mind open. I study different things, different modalities both the allopathic and alternative kinds. I listen to different teachers regardless of how they may appear to mainstream society...I pay more attention to the message and how it resonates inside me than I do to them as messengers.
I believe the individual needs to heal so the world heals. I look into healing therapies. So I have been looking into Theta Healing like I looked into other things and what intrigues me about it is not the miracles its teachers purport to be able to create in a human's experience...not the mystical magical stuff of transcending through layers of the universe and layers of light to the Creator (though I am not discounting it) ...but the way it seeks to dismantle those core beliefs that impair a human being's ability to live Life fully. That, I believe, is where we have to go to make this world a better place. ...to the mind of the individual, to the collective mind of all.
That collective mind I believe is in the spiritual dimension...the place where we realize once and for all that we are not separate little entities but something much greater...much more unified. It is there we experience the background of Life experience rather than being lost in the foreground of it. It is there where true awareness exists. It is there where we realize there is actually nothing to heal.
Hmmm!
All is well in my world.
