Quiet or Noise

There’s really a very simple way to understand the mind, there are two mind states, quiet and noise. Everyone who is alive will be guided by both at times, but what’s key is which one is dominant...

There are a lot of influences that determines what mind state you will be guided by and when it’s broken down, you will be guided either quiet or noise. To me everything that happens is the result of something so the results of living in a state of quiet or noise are vastly different. This isn't to apply a label that one is right and one is wrong, but if investigated it can be seen how quiet produces results aligned with love, kindness, peace, harmony, joy, and darkness aligns you with results of anger, greed, hate, unhappiness, discontent and so on. I had a mind of noise for many years and this resulted in much suffering in the form of feeling isolated and alone most of the time. As a result of this, I used many different things to try and not feel this way, but to no avail because not matter what, the noisy mind state would always return.

Twelve years ago I began understanding the different results of these two mind states and started developing certain things that put me more in line with quiet. A mind of noise is selfish in nature and produces selfish results; desirable results if you're based in the material world. A quiet mind has no selfishness to it and the actions are accordingly. This doesn't mean the noise conditioning is gone for good, but it has lessened to a large degree and hence there is literally no more isolation or hate in me. If the difference of these two mind states aren't seen it seems the noise mind state controls more; it's because of the influences of the material world that make this so. Even though by being alive you are part of the world, when you finally wake up what's seen is you don't have to allow the selfish collective mind state of noise to control you...
