On the deepest level of my mind, on its most visceral level, I fear Pain-- a lot!
Do I wish for something inspiring and creatively beautiful?
No.
Then?
I just want to avoid pain.
My mind soaks things up. It soaks up personalities, tics, habitual and verbal,both, thinking patterns etc. all to make living in this sea of entities with each a different feel to them,with each having different essences regarding the idea of convenience.
Why does my mind do that,soak things up? To avoid pain.
Fundamentally,Some run towards something,some away,some both; I away.
But then, Should I be necessarily be running towards something to be happy? I think not. Balance is what I should strive for. For what? To be Happy? No. To know the self, and everything else. To know!
My mind is aware of the, and I can only talk about my mind, subconscious processes in a very limited way. When calm, in a quiet place usually, it becomes more encompassing, so as to say, more aware of the subconscious processes. It feels, in such states, my conscious mind gets melded, somewhat, with these subconscious processes. The division vanishes, if just for a split second only. It happens then when I allow my mind to soak up what these subconscious processes feels like. This I have observed cannot be done when I am tired after jogging or playing any sport because of the presence of unnecessary thoughts.
The mind focuses better on the workings of the subconscious and the creation of perception when the number of processes running in it is less, and for this one needs to exhaust it out. But how does one do that? In the next article, I'll discuss a method given by swami Vivekananda to achieve this.
