Course information continued:
MAYA (Lower Mind)
(Illusion)
This is the world of Maya, or illusion, and if we attach our consciousness here we create suffering and engage karma, preventing us from experiencing the ecstasy of creation. But how do we create this illusion or Maya. It is created by Mind. What we think we attract to us. What we have buried in our subconscious is still vibrating forgotten it may be – but it is still held there, attracting to itself more of the same. It is in this way, the mind creates pain and suffering. The illusion is that the lower mind can somehow make life better by solving our problems but the truth is that it leads us down the path of self-destruction.
How to be free from pain and suffering.
1. Observation
2. Awareness
3. Heart Open
4. Enlightenment
First we must know and be aware of our thoughts. This takes practice. We are so used to them that often we don’t even know we are thinking let alone what we are thinking.
STOP! being busy, slow down and observe the mind and body for 3 minutes, 3 times a day.
Sit still and listen. Notice where the body is tense. If the body is tense, so is the mind.
Notice the subject matter of your thoughts and how they are making you tense.
Why are you thinking these thoughts. Notice is they are complaining and negative.
What is the intention behind them? Notice and feel the desire to think what you are thinking.
Maybe you think by thinking that you will get an answer from your mind.
This is how the lower mind deludes you for answers only come when the mind is still and peaceful.
Which one of the five functions of the lower mind do your thoughts belong.
Are you identifying, resisting, judging, comparing, or having a delightful time analysing.
The functions of the Higher Mind – The Buddhi
1. Evaluating - Truth from Untruth
2. Discerning - Truth from Untruth
3. Discriminating - Truth from Untruth
The Buddhi, or enlightened mind, is always there for it exists in everyone but it has to be developed. It has to be made strong and this comes from constant use. We are born with a wonderful body, full of potential but it is up to us how we look after it, value it and use it. So we are born with an enlightened mind but it soon gets obscured by the clouds of habit patterns which get programmed into the lower mind by parents, siblings, teachers, community and nation.
Habit patterns are difficult to break but not impossible. It needs the dedication of an initiate (one focused on finding the Truth in oneself), the constant vigilant practice to become aware. It is made easier once the clouds part and the ‘sun’ can be seen and experienced. Once it is realized that the habit patterns are the things that cause the pain and suffering in our lives and it can be brought to an end.
