Hello to Merlin and all other members
Posted: Sat Dec 08, 2012 5:58 am
Sup!
I was searching something of interest when I came around Merlin's posts on some girl's site that changed herself and her life.
I came to this site and read the research top to bottom.
Then I decided to register just to get my thoughts out and get feedback
My Thoughts
I've been around this subject since I was 18, and now I am 25. It all started with a spirituality seminar, one that I failed miserably. It was a great start!
It inspired research in spirituality, magic, will-power, meditation, supernatural, powers ... the list goes on. More or less I have been on the same track as you have.
Watched lot of videos, read lot of books and practiced methods.
To Merlin: I can vouch that 99% of the stuff you say is true. Here's a kicker though.
My Thoughts to the Community
One thing I disliked in Merlin's research was the idea that the conscious mind is an enemy player that tries to sabotage your desires.
In other words, I had to bypass this line to get access to my subconscious mind but again....HOW???
Bypass is a strong word for someone who is on their way to spirituality, magic, power and enlightenment. Also, to get access to your subconscious?
Are we talking about taking control over some person's mind here? Those are two strong words that indicate hostility towards the self.
Your mind is your. How can you gain access to something that is already yours? How can you bypass your own mind? The only way to "bypass" your own mind is to be mindful. To those not understanding the word, its being present in the moment. You cannot escape the mind or bypass the mind or open the door or trick yourself. When you think, you already lost focus. And since the mind's default is on things that are bothering us in past, present and future, the mind is always thinking. By just thinking about tricking your mind, the mind has tricked you (if you prefer that analogy). Its like trying to give up smoking by smoking.
I am not here to troll nor salute. I want to extend my own mind and if I get lucky, give your mind food to chew on.
The second part I disliked was the whole explanation of the mind being like a football field. You have the line, and you have to cross it in order to score.
Whatever idea/thought you plant in the subconscious will take root once you "bypass" the critical, conscious mind and its negative beliefs.
Correct me if I am wrong -- thank you. But how is the mind, thinking on its own. Those negative beliefs are yours. You loop them daily through the mind. How is that mind's fault or mind's doing? Its like getting cut with a knife. Do you blame the knife?
The mind is just a tool, an extraordinary complex beyond understanding universal tool, but yes a tool. You can create misfortune, fortune, desires and wishes through it. But its own's nature is not evil or good, its neutral. Just like god, if you believe in god. God is neutral, just like god should be. Now if you believe that you are god, the means you should be neutral. So why aren't you? This is why you aren't getting what you want. This is why you shouldn't focus on the mind being the enemy or yourself being the enemy. Yes, you can lie to yourself and create misfortune. But what, should you land a punch in your face as punishment if you have?
You have two sides of the coin if you like it that way. In the normal society those sides are pre-labeled by society or your parents or siblings in young age. You adopt the behavior of something either being: good or bad. That doesn't in any way make the matter better or worse, it just adds a label on it. But then you get an emotional reaction due to some event or cause. Then the label becomes a lot more difficult to just be a label. If you experience any positive emotion, you literally save a feeling attached to a label. If you experience a negative emotion, you literally save a feeling attached to a label. So what does this all mean?
You are born neutral. You are born from within the light and the void. Cosmic and universal. Spiritual and what not. You pick your labels. The point is: the mind cannot be responsible for your own's fate or doings. If you think thoughts of violence, blaming the mind makes you ignorant. Do you think its different for thoughts of joy, pleasure or what not? Its just the other side. You are still responsible for the results you get. Not the mind. Never the mind. Its just your tool to obtain what you want or don't want. "All that we are is a result of what we have thought" - Buddha Its even in the secret, mind you.
What am I trying to point here. Here's what. The information provided by Merlin and the community here will be of absolute service to you, for whatever you want to use it. But for your sake, don't label the mind as the enemy. The only enemy is the thought of something being the enemy. Or the thought of tricking the mind into the subconscious. Its you who is consciously creating those thoughts and that reality of true and false.
The Bottom Line
Let your thoughts pass.
Let your feelings flow.
Accept everything you felt so far and everything you feel now.
Learn to focus in meditation.
Learn to not-be attached to your own desire and label.
Learn to honor and love yourself. Not to trick and abuse yourself.
Whatever you want, its already yours, in quantities you already want.
You want infinite something? Its yours.
You don't like infinite something? Its yours.
Realize that you already have everything. (cliche)
Realize that your mind is like the heart of the universe, highest awareness and infinite.
The physical materialization of your desire in the form you currently are living in is the attachment.
Once you learn to live in the present without attaching yourself, you will get everything.
The mind will pour out all what is already created and yours into this reality.
"Only when you give up what you want, its yours"
