A quiet mind gains insight by allowing one’s unconsciousness to be uncovered. This inner space of quietness is where all truth awaits to be uncovered, but only when quietness is the focus…
A true understanding of life cannot be uncovered by doing. There are many highly intelligent people who never understand life. This doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with intelligence, but you become what you focus on. For me, insights came when the cause of why I struggled so much with life was uncovered; the struggle was because I was focused on a non-beneficial view (selfish). Now the focus isn’t so much on a made up beneficial view, but more so on not being focused on the view that caused my struggles. This is what a quiet mind affords a person, it has nothing to do with intelligence. Choose any view that’s wanted, but understand the view in place is what you focus on and it’s what will manifest as life; unconsciousness is the struggle.
Focus on quietness and insights will be uncovered, but only when there’s awareness of unconsciousness; this is how life ceases to be a struggle. Use whatever tools that work to get quiet and focus on that. The mind will settle more and more into a state of quietness that allows insights to be uncovered. Becoming truly insightful isn’t for a select few, it’s available to anyone. It takes an understanding that quietness has nothing to do with intellect, that it’s something which occurs as a result of your focus on the inner space within. You can only become quiet when that’s the focus, not to the point where it’s a doing, but to the point where it’s what’s there because that’s the focus. To me, insights are uncovered when unconsciousness is uncovered which occurs when quietness is the focus…
