Conversing with the Disturbed Mind.

 

Don't make changes in your life... ever... based on your disturbed mind...

Michael A. Singer

A conversation between Consciousness and mind. 

"Hello Mind. Are you disturbed?"

"What do you think??? You see what is happening out there! What they are saying and doing!! What the world is throwing at us!  Of course, I am disturbed!!! Blah! Blah! Blah !!!! You need to do this and that to fix it. Blah!Blah!Blah! Close that darned heart door so it stops hurting!!!"

"Oh yea! I see you are very disturbed.  You are disturbed and heart is suffering but we are not going to  make any life changing decisions until this disturbance subsides. And  it will. Like any wave, it will trough. This situation you deem as the cause of the disturbance will pass, or at least subside. The calm peaceful state will surface again. You'll see."

"WTF? Blah! Blah! Blah!!!!You need to do this and that. Blah!lBah!Blah! Fight it! Push it away! Do something to protect this "me"! Close that darned heart door so it stops hurting!!"

"No. The thing Life just handed us, the disturbance in heart and mind that I am observing, will pass...but the consequences of the decisions we make while disturbed might not. So, this human being must relax and be calm first. This human must be careful not to act on disturbance. "

"No!  This is so wrong! So unfair! So bad! We need to do something!!!! We need to stop it from coming in!! Blah! Blah! Blah!!!You need to do this and that. Blah!Blah!Blah! Close that freakin heart door so it stops hurting!!" 

"I am not going to listen to you, Mind.  Oh, I want to...something in me really wants to go there into your captivating drama, but I have learned from the past that I will only get lost there. I don't want to get sucked into that quicksand of disturbance again. I feel the pain in the heart. I do. But I am committed to doing anything I can to keep it open.  I am not going to let you have your way, Disturbed Mind. I am not going to close the heart, and I am not going to react by doing something foolish or unwholesome."

"What the F (front door)? Are you crazy??"

"Oh Mind...I feel for you I do.  I see how much you and heart are hurting and why.  There is so much inside this human that we stuffed and stored over the years to protect it.  And yeah, so many things out there will trigger it. But we just need to stop storing so we can release all this stuff.  We need to clean stuff out, not push more stuff in. If we react with every disturbance, we will just make more of a mess, won't we? Let's stop reacting, creating more Karma. Let's stop stuffing and storing.  Let's just let it all go...let it all pass through. If you are not ready to do that, that's okay.  I am just going to have to step back and away from you while you are disturbed."

"Are you breaking up with me??" 

"No, I need you...well not so much when you are disturbed... but when you are creative, and intelligent, and figuring things out I want you and need you in my life here. I understand why you are getting disturbed and doing what you are doing though. I do.  I love you anyway. I am just going to decide when I follow your directions and when I don't. I am not going to allow you to pull me into your drama anymore. I am going to step away to relax when you are getting all uptight.  I am going to breathe, relax the body, practice yoga, meditate, use mantras, and throw some positive thinking on top of you when you are disturbed. I am definitely not going to make the life changes you are telling me to make at those times."

"Huh? You don't trust me anymore! We used to be on the same page. Do you expect me to change?"

"It's okay honestly.  I don't hate you and I am not expecting you to change. You be you. I just need to change my focus of attention.  That's all. I am going to widen my lens so it sn't so focused on you.  I am going to direct this body to relax.  I am going to direct the heart to stay open.  I am going to observe the human and you and all the drama going on from this nice peaceful seat way up high here. I get a much better view up here than I do when I am face down in your mud.  We are not adding to the karma debt from up here either.  It is a much better place to be." 

"I am still disturbed!"

"I know.  I hear you but it will all pass.  It will all pass. I just want to watch it happen." 

"No!  This is so wrong! So unfair! So bad! We need to do something!!!! We need to stop it from coming in!!Blah! Blah! Blah! We need to do this and that. Blah!Blah!lBah! Close that heart door so it stops hurting!!" 

"Good bye mind. Come join me up here when you are calm."

You are the consciousness that observes a calm mind or a disturbed mind.  If mind is calm consciousness does not get distracted by it [it stays in the Seat], when it is disturbed consciousness will get pulled into it [consciousness will lose its identification with essence and fall into the muck of mind, identifying with it.] 

Consciousness does not have to be pulled into the disturbed mind.

All is well!
