Man is a lost human.

A lost human is lost in his Mind.

And by being lost in his Mind,

he is stuck being the Mind.

But what really does the statement -

"Being the Mind"

imply?

To you "being the Mind" will sound totally "normal".

For upon reading it,

"Who else are we if not our Minds",

will be one of the first lies,

you will tell yourself in "response" to yourself.

But to me,

that line brings back memories.

And though the memories are blurring and fading away with each passing day,

they are still there,

remnants of the days that used to just "go by",

as if I was a prisoner in a cell,

being able only to "see", "listen" and "feel",

images and videos being flashed in front of my senses,

all while being thoroughly strapped to a seat.

And every time I would consider raising my hand,

to clear the blurriness of the sight by rubbing my eyelids,

or to interact with what I was seeing,

or to feel the beautiful things passing me by with ever-increasing speed,

I would remember,

that I am only allowed to "see", "listen", and "feel".

I would remember,

that those three things were the only things I was allowed to "experience".

For an intent towards any other action,

or the desire for a deeper or more complete experience,

was just not available.

I would remember ...

"Aah, this is how it has been all this time ...",

and then stop the futile tussle to free myself

from the straps on my wrists, neck, torso, and legs,

and slip back into my seat.

Yes.

"Being my mind" brings back such memories to me.

You do see the night and day between where you are,

and where I am, do you not?

No, I do not mean it in a derogatory way, dear friend.

But you do see the D.I.F.F.E.R.E.N.C.E, do you not?

You do see the power of arrival?

You do see the consequence of wanting to reach higher, higher and higher levels of existence?

Either way, I will shine some more light on it to help you.

Because you are caught up inside your Mind,

a statement like "being my Mind" sounds benign, "whatever",

and not even remotely close to something that will scare you,

let alone begin to take steps or act.

Why?

Because the moment your Mind processes the statement,

it gives you either textual responses,

(e.g. "So What?" etc - from all the intellect it devours every day)

or it shows you pictures and videos of what it "considers",

not being ones' Mind "would be like".

Right?

But what you do not have the slightest clue about,

is that such texts, images, and videos have nothing,

I repeat, nothing to do with what not being ones' Mind is really like.

And after all,

you are trapped in a very similar situation as I was,

with straps all over your real real real being,

and are "seeing", "listening" and "feeling" very many similar pictures and videos all day long,

without the ability to be the pictures and videos!

On the other side,

when I read "being my Mind", I see pictures of my actual self being caught in the past,

not being able to experience,

but only as a faint, faint memory which is only dissipating with time,

which makes me feel even more grateful and wholeheartedly thankful for what I did,

and for what I have today.

What do I have?

I have everything.

Why?

Because I have arrived.

Because I stand, run and jump with the flashy and beautiful things,

which I could only catch visual glimpses of earlier.

And I will tell you something else.

Because I am being the images, videos, and experiences today,

the ever fainting depiction of who or what I really see in the memories of my yesterdays,

is actually you!

Is it not?

For who or what I was, is no different than who or what you are today.

And though after reading this entire post,

you will only glimpse the promise of an otherworldly life that your Mind paints for you,

the moment I will step out of the chair and into the next experience,

I will be the otherworldliness,

wholly and fully.

Thank you.
