Bodhinatha's Recent Sun One Upadeshas on Language and the Conscious Mind
Bodhinatha’s Latest Upadeshas:“Detach Awareness From the Conscious Mind” (October 6, 2015)
Avoid creating ripples in life, being permanently emotionally disturbed. The English language is a conscious mind language structured to teach us that we are our emotions. Be observant of thought patterns and detach yourself. The “I” is not the body nor emotions. The “I” is the spiritual being.
Master Course, Merging with Siva, Lesson 172.
The Power of Meditation to Change Your Mind (October 21, 2015)
Superconsciousness is always there within us. A simple key to contacting it is relaxation. Step back, become internalized. Meditation requires retraining the way we think. The mind is used to doing external things. Subjugate externalizing samskaras (external impressions) by employing restraint, nirodha. This produces a new impression in the mind, the impression of restraint. In time, through years of practice, eventually we achieve vichara, the power of one-pointedness and cognition. Then something else begins to occur, deep in meditation, intuitions come, and they modify the impressions and we begin to change the total content of our minds. The gradual building of the impressions of restraint and intuitions make it easier and easier to meditate.
