The controller from the past

 

All the psychological knowledge that one has, that humanity has gathered together for thousand of years, is within oneself.

There is no psychological authority and therefore there is no spiritual authority, because the whole history of mankind, which is the story of humanity, is in us.

 We are the priests, we are the disciples, we are the teachers and we are the ‘experience’, and to understand that which is timeless, has no measure.

The word 'mantra' in Sanskrit means to consider and to ponder over or meditate, meaning to put aside all the self centered thoughts.

The mind that is questioning, not only what others say but also questioning the self, that mind will be free from illusions and self hypnosis.

All our relationship is based on thought and its feelings, to function in a particular occupation, accepting beliefs, traditions, dogmas, rituals, which are all only a partial understanding. 

There is this controller - I must do this, I must not do that, I must control my desires, control my anger, control my impetus. In true attention, there is no controller.

Religions, philosophies, teachers, family, mothers, they all control.

The controller is put together in the past; the past is the knowledge, which is thought that separated itself as the controller and the controlled. Because our brain has been trained for thousands of years to inhibit and being controlled, it is never operating with the wholeness of the mental capacity.

Only in silence, quietness and absolute stillness of the mind, is the freedom from dogmas, making the whole of the mind truly receptive.

When you look at a mountain, because of its majesty, the senses are fully in operation, therefore one forgets the self. 

Or when one is really frightened, the whole body, the nerves and mind becomes still and there is freedom of order. Which is virtue, righteousness in behavior; and in that silence alone there is that which is nameless and timeless. 

That is meditation and the love of God.
