Beneath the Surface

Beneath the surface of mind activity there’s nothing but space. This is difficult to see because life isn’t about what you think it is, in fact life is everything you think it isn’t, but it’s not seen because of trying to figure it out on the surface…

Round and round it goes where it stops nobody knows. This is a perfect example of the surface mind activity that’s in place for most people. One thought after another, no space, no quietness, just the surface mind activity of the world manifesting as thought. If you could just sit back in the space where the noise subsides, there’s a chance to truly see what Jesus and the Buddha spoke of. If you think you have an idea of what life is about, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but that’s just noise. There are no answers to what life is about, but the more solid you make existence, the more you will think you have life figured out. I’m not saying I know what life is about, but I do know what it isn’t about and that it has nothing to do with what is seen on the surface. The more controlled you are by the surface senses, the less life is experienced. Below the mind activity of the senses is the only place where life is truly experienced. You can travel all around the world and make up the story of all the beauty around you, but it’s only a story conjured up to provide surface pleasure and store it as a pleasurable memory. Beneath the surface no story is needed, no pleasure is needed, in fact nothing is needed because this is where true life exist.

Think about it, your entire life is a story until one day it isn’t; every storied experience is taken with you as if they never occurred. You may have thought them to be needed so you could make sense of your life, but really they mean absolutely nothing because they’re all created from the mind activity of the surface senses. Buddha talked about of delusion, Jesus spoke of not being of this world, what do you think they were talking about? If you remain trapped to the surface mind activity, you will remain in your suffering. Beneath the surface mind activity there’s the possibility of truly seeing what life is about. Why there’s difficulty in seeing this is because life isn’t about anything that you think it is. In fact it’s about everything you think it isn’t and this is because of the trying to figure it out with what’s on the surface…
