Mind is the problem

Here in the west, we are worshipping mind (which lives in the left brain). Mind is worshipped in the schools, at work and even in life. They teach our children to think, plan, memorize, criticize and be competitive. But in life, there always has to be a balance.

The law of balance is the most imporant law to understand. It affects everything in life. If you drink too much, you end up with a hangover, if you eat too much, you become too fat, if you sleep too much, you become lazy and won’t get anything done, if you get too greedy, you’ll lose all your friends, and so on. Anytime you can put the word “too” in front of what you are doing, you are basically doing something that is out of balance.

So, what is wrong with that? I like to think of balance as a pendulum. If you pull it all the way to the side, it is not in a stable space. As soon as you let go, the pendulum swings all the way to the other side, and then back again. Only in the middle is the pendulum iin a stable space. So, anytime you are doing too much of something, there will be a reaction to the other extreme.

So, how can we bring mind into balance? The only way to balance mind is to spend more time in your right brain. Your right brain is your connection to cosmos, to source, to inspiration, psychic insights and creativity. This is where we are meant to live. This is where we are in touch with life. And the mind on the other side is only supposed to be a tool for self expression and survival.

So, why are we worshipping the tool and forgetting our connection to source? Why are we teaching children to worship mind, when it will cause them to forget who they are? No wonder why most of the people on this planet feel like orphans and are wondering why they are here!

I have a wish for the future: That the schools will start to teach in a balanced way – teach the kids how to use mind, but also how to be intuitive beings who knows how to muscle test, use a pendulum, read tarot cards and generally learn to trust the inner voice that guides us.

So, when they teach children how to write, don’t ask them who it is for, and what is the plot, and where is the story going before it is even written! Just give them a general idea, and then ask them to close their eyes, go empty and wait for information to come to them. And, as soon as the words start coming, to write them down as fast as they can, before the info is lost. Editing can be done later! This is how you teach automatic writing that comes straight from the right brain.

The same thing goes for art. Have an idea, go empty, look inside and see what comes…

Every one of us are born with special abilities and talents. We just have to figure out how the universe wants to express itself through each one of us, and allow it to happen. Someone may be a writer, a musician, a great knitter, a great mother, you name it. We all have certain gifts that we came in with. But when mind is in control, it will always dissect, criticize and discourage us from expressing the divine. Very sad actually. The mind will cripple our natural beings, and still, we worship the mind, even though mind is pure madness, and by this I mean never here and now – always in the past or in the future, which actually doesn’t exist.

Mind believes that its perception of reality is real, and everything else is useless, but the truth is, it doesn’t even come close to what is real.
In the East, they know this, because they managed to find ways to go beyond the mind. Is it possible to stop thinking, and still be? Absolutely! Mind is the sickness, meditation is the medicine…

The children are our future. If only the teachers could find their way back to their own source and then teach our children! This is my wish and my vision for a better future – teaching the balance between mind and no-mind, teaching our children to live in both of those realities and to be able to use the mind as just a tool, which is what it was meant to be in the first place. I wish….
