Take or Give Mind State

The mind is really very simple to understand. It can be broken down into two mind states, take or give. Everyone who is alive will be led by one or the other…

There’s a lot of stuff (thinking) that goes on between the ears that determines what mind state you will be led by. When it’s broken down, you will be led by either a take or give mind state. To me everything that happens is the result of something previous so the results of living in a state of take or give 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 a give mind state produces results aligned with love, kindness, peace, harmony, joy, and a take one aligns you with results of anger, greed, hate, unhappiness, discontent and so on. I had a take mind state 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 take mind state would always return.

Some 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 a giving mind state. A take mind is selfish in nature and produces selfish results; desirable results if you’re based in the material world. A mind that gives has no selfishness to it and the results prove this. This doesn’t mean the take conditioning is gone for good, but it has lessened to a large degree and hence there is literally no more isolation in me. If the difference of these two mind states aren’t seen it seems the take 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 take mind state to control you…
