Drop the Old, Seek the New
Pause for a moment and set aside everything you think you already know. If you’re here reading, it means there’s a curiosity, a seeking for something beyond the familiar. Let go of preconceived notions. Open your mind and absorb these words with a fresh perspective. My sincere hope is that you catch a glimpse of the essence being shared.
However, remember that these words merely act as signposts, directing you toward the ineffable. To truly grasp the message, you must surpass the limitations of language and intellectual contemplation. Step out of the confines of your thoughts and allow yourself to feel the truth. Pay attention to the subtle nuances, the sensations that resonate positively within you.
In the quest for solutions, society often looks in the wrong places. The answers aren’t external, nor are they hidden in the past or in the pursuit of dissecting every detail. Instead, the solution lies within you. Regardless of what others might suggest, external environments can’t resolve the internal turmoil. It’s the mind itself that crafts these challenges, necessitating a clearing of mental clutter for clarity in the present moment.
So, let’s journey inward. Clear the mental fog and allow yourself to see with newfound clarity. It’s within this internal exploration that you may discover the peace you seek.
The Power Of Mind, Consciousness & Thought
The lens through which we perceive and engage with life is in constant flux, shaped by our ongoing thoughts. Each of us is an independent thinker, endowed with the freedom to explore an array of ideas. In this diverse human tapestry, individual realities are as abundant as the people inhabiting our world.
Our personal realities manifest through the interplay of thought and consciousness. Consciousness, the essence of existence in tangible form, is akin to the software running on the universal computer of Mind. Meanwhile, thought serves as the programmer, orchestrating the unfolding of our unique experiences. It’s through thought that feelings take shape; indeed, thought is the architect of our emotional landscape.
Imagine Universal Mind as a computer, Universal Consciousness as its software, and Universal Thought as the operator configuring the interface. If you’re grappling with stress, anxiety or any mental distress, the key lies in reshaping your thoughts. Deliberately cultivate positive and wholesome thoughts, as they pave the way to uplifting feelings and overall well-being.
Human interactions often veer into difficulty due to the prevalent undercurrents of fear and insecurity. The constant pursuit of superiority over others perpetuates a cycle of competition and the need for validation. Even if one attains the pinnacle of success, the struggle to maintain that position persists, fueling insecurities. It’s essential to recognize that insecurity is a construct of the mind, devoid of independent existence—an illusion.
Amidst the myriad lies that can cloud our understanding, the truth remains singular. Acknowledging your role as the controller of your mind is pivotal; otherwise, the mind may run wild, unchecked and untamed.
Truth Lies Within Every Human Being
Sydney Banks has bestowed upon the world a profound spiritual truth—the revelation of the three universal principles: Mind, Consciousness, and Thought. These principles serve as the foundational elements that underlie the entirety of human experience and life.
Journey inward, preceding the realm of thought, to connect with your innate state of meditation. In this introspective space, you’ll come to the realization that life is a spiritual reality. Authentic psychology, in its truest form, is the logic of the Psyche—a profound comprehension of both mind and soul. It extends beyond intellectual boundaries, inviting us into the realm of feeling that transcends the known, leading us to the unknown and the timeless dimension where our true nature is experienced.
Within this dimension resides your own wisdom, waiting to be touched. Once accessed, it unfolds as profound insights, providing the answers you seek. This journey of self-discovery leads to a deep understanding of the psyche and the soul, ultimately unveiling the spiritual reality that Sydney Banks has illuminated for us all
“Everyone on this earth has this spiritual secret deep within their consciousness and if you ever wake up to that fact, your life will never be the same again. This secret is where the external physical word and the formless spiritual world become one … sometimes known as the great oneness … where everything is interconnected.” Sydney Banks, The Enlightened Gardener Revisited, page 135.
I like your analogy Anthony, of the elements of a computer with Mind, Thought and Consciousness. Particularly the aspect of Thought as the programmer. No wonder the world is in chaos if Thought is the operator!
Thanks for sharing Peter! I’m pleased it resonated with you 🙂
