The potency of the moment should not overwhelm the mind. Mind
should be able to contain it. By potency I mean the near overwhelming power of
existence, of being, of the Divine.
By divine power I mean the direct experience of what I have
called “sweet brutal consciousness.”
It is a blissful experience, and also brutal in that it
reveals all the weaknesses of the mind with brutal honesty. Only the truly pure
at heart can withstand the flow of this power through the mind/body system.
Those with an impure heart will suffer from the onslaught of
this divine revelatory and cleansing power.
The divine power is absolute in the sense that it is the
greatest power in existence. And it supersedes all other powers that followed
its manifestation. All human powers are subjugated to it.
Each new thought energy arising in the mind is in a way a
version of the Big Bang, having the power to create a whole new world out of
seemingly nothing.
It is important to cut through the thinking mind to the
origin of the mind’s energies and find the place of still potency that is at
the heart of the mind. And one needs to cut deeply and mercilessly. Something
important lies there and it needs to be discovered.
Use the ax of dispassion or the scalpel of discrimination
to get to the deeper layers of the mind. Use the tools that are most in line
with your personality. Finding the truth is not a cookie cutter affair. One
size does not fit all. Being born to particular parents at a particular place
and time do not determine your path towards this divine power.
Ask for help and it will arrive. Be open when it does.
Dogmas are not helpful on the path. Neither is the constantly thinking and evaluating
mind. The divine has many forms through which it may appear. But then, it
appears in all of them. Although to some of them certain minds have an affinity
and respond better than to others.
