Quote of the day from Koen
“Do you understand the Not-self of the being? Because it’s the Not-self that responds to the conditioning, it’s the Not-self that takes it over.
The real dilemma with human beings is how difficult it is for us to be able to deal with the power of our minds, the power of Self-reflected consciousness.
This is something that is really very profound. It’s so dense; it makes the Maya so dense. It is so incredibly difficult for most human beings to disengage themselves from the power of their minds to run their life.
Over and over again, what we all confront on a day-to-day basis in our lives is dealing with the fact that every single one of us has a mind that is very busy trying to tell us what to do, what not to do, CONSTANTLY, moment-by-moment, breath-by-breath interpreting in one way or another precisely what is going on in the world around us.
Because it seems like the mind is the only thing about us that seems to be concerned about us and because the mind is always engaged in trying to figure out the ―this and that of our process, it seems rather logical that we turn over to mind the responsibility to make decisions in our lives [instead of our personal/inner authority]
When you look at humanity as a whole, what you look at is the mental plane.
When you’re talking about the Not-self, you’re just talking about the reality that human beings [as a default] make decisions with their minds.”
