Beyond the outward 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 from out there…
Round and round the outward mind goes and where it stops nobody knows. This is a perfect example of the mind activity that’s in place for most people. One thought after another, no space, no quietness, just the noise of the world manifesting as mind activity. If you could just sit back in the space where the noise subsides, there’s a chance to truly see what Jesus and 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’ll think you’ve figured it out. I’m not saying I know what life is about, but I do know what it isn’t about and it has nothing to do with what is seen out there. The more you’re controlled by the senses, the less life is experienced. Beyond 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 to provide outward pleasure and store it as a pleasurable memory. Beyond the outward mind activity 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 you no longer exist in your current form. Every storied experience is taken with you as if they never occurred. They were thought to be needed so you could make sense of your life, but really they mean absolutely nothing because they’re all created from the outward mind activity of the senses. Buddha talked about delusion, Jesus spoke of not being of this world, what do you think they were talking about? If you remain entrapped to the outward mind activity, you will remain in your suffering. Even those who think they understand this don’t because it’s not something to understand. Beyond the outward mind activity where there’s nothing but space 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 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 from out there…
The more we grasp for answers outside ourselves the more in the grasp of fear we are. When we look outside, its only because we are fearful of what we might find inside.
