It is out there

Posted by Suman on Feb 14, 2020

It is cold out there.

This was the first impression as I laid my eyes

outside through the sliding doors of my living room.

And immediately, I called the Mind out on it.

For is it really "cold" out there?

Not at all.

It IS out there.

For the Mind will always paint a picture on the top of WHAT IS,

so that the we only get to see what the Mind makes of it.

And what is more,

is that to the Mind it is "cold"

because yesterday was "not this cold".

Yes.

The Mind has many, many tricks under the hat.

But no matter the seemingly endless of those,

or the "type" of such tricks,

their impact is one and the same -

You get barred from the experience.

For in remembering that "yesterday as warmer",

you will not experience today.

You will only experience the difference from yesterday.

You will miss out the whole experience of today.

But is that all?

Is that the only sacrifice your Mind forces out of you?

NO.

There's more.

For your "experience" (of the difference) once again,

will not be the experience

For the Mind will continue to add its own commentary ...

"How the cold today sucks"

or "How you will have to take the bus"

or "How you will have to wear an extra layer."

or "How walking will be impossible for more than 10 mins"

...

(All while all your other life concerns, are tagging along in the background.)

Do you see how pathetically limited your "experience" is?

Is it not like,

instead of viewing something with your naked eyes,

you are forced to always look at a poor quality,

black and white xerox copy of a picture,

that was taken with an antique camera,

that too, not continually but only via a glimpse here and there ?

But something tells me that my hyperbole of a comparison

fell short.

Because to be honest,

I will never be able to find words,

to clearly and fully show you,

what you have been missing out in your day-to-day,

no matter how cold or warm or dripping the weather at your end,

or no matter what serious concerns are currently soiling your existence.

For the Mind can only be used for a limited number of things.

Beyond that,

(please pay attention to what I am going to say next ...)

The Mind fails miserably, in even coming close to the actual thing.

For the Mind will always "do its thing" -

which is morphing, projecting or complete re-packaging of what was said or written.

As such,

once again, even in reading these words,

you are but getting a glimpse of what actually IS,

that is, beyond what they mean to you.

And depending on your current mind-fullness,

you may not be getting anything,

or,

you may be getting ...

"Aah it is just another over-selling , over-pitching psychobabble"!

Yes.

The tentacles the Mind has are endless,

the extent they can dig into you can be infinite,

the spread of its venom throughout your consciousness can be ubiquitous,

and what is more,

the rate at which the venom can intensify, could be beyond your control as well.

And so I will ask ...

are you an average mind-full robot okay with all of ^^ ?

OR

Are you are one of the rare of the rarest few,

who has had it with this unnatural, cryptic of an entity you have been bestowed with.?

Are you someone who has had enough ...

of its drama,

of the games it plays,

of the things it makes you do,

of the automatic knee-jerk responses it makes you give,

of the far, far, far and far inferior version of YOU it projects,

and of any and every other way,

it has always come between YOU and WHAT IS,

and in so doing,

kept you from the experience,

AND

kept you from pulling YOUR tricks out of the hat?

If by some miracle,

you are that someone,

who is feeling it deep in their bones,

that it is time to turn the game around,

and

switch the roles of Master and Slave,

once and for all,

I will ask again ...

ARE. YOU. READY?

...

For if you are...

I have only one thing to say to you ...

I am as READY for you,

if not more.

Thank you.
