The Mindfulness Guide

Mindfulness Guide

Reference: Mindfulness Approach

.

The role of the mindfulness guide is to help reestablish the ability of a person to think for himself. This is done by resolving all unassimilated nodes in the person’s mental matrix. The mindfulness guide does not assert any control over the other person.

The mindfulness guide acts as follows when guiding another person.

ACT ONE: He must review his commitment to restore the other person’s ability to think for himself.

ACT TWO: He must establish himself simply as a guide in the mind of the other person, and not as some authority.

ACT THREE: His beginning actions are to clean up the anomalies currently absorbing the other person’s attention. He does that by listening to the other person and acknowledging his concerns. He then explains the discipline of mindfulness, and how it can handle the other person’s concerns.

ACT FOUR: His next action is to establish in the other person the understanding of the discipline of mindfulness through the exercises Mindfulness meditation and Discerning the Environment. He then helps the person unwind his mind through the exercise, Accessibility of Memory.

This approach shall help extrovert the person’s attention and help him think more clearly. This is especially vital for heavily introverted cases.

The mindfulness guide then helps the other person become a mindfulness practitioner by practicing subsequent exercises as laid out here.

Universe, the Beginning

Reference: The Creation Hymn of Rig Veda

.

Here we have the Ancient Creation Hymn along with a modern scientific rendition.

.

There was neither non-existence nor existence then.
There was neither the realm of space nor the sky which is beyond.
What stirred?
Where?
In whose protection?
Was there water, bottomlessly deep?

Prior to the universe there was no idea of existence or non-existence.

There was no awareness of matter, energy, space or time.

The universe seems to arise from some disturbance 

Of what? We do not know.

There was neither death nor immortality then.
There was no distinguishing sign of night nor of day.
That One breathed, windless, by its own impulse.
Other than that there was nothing beyond.

There was no idea of death or immortality then.

There was neither day nor night.

There was only the slightest awareness

Of motion appearing by itself

Darkness was hidden by darkness in the beginning,
with no distinguishing sign, all this was water.
The life force that was covered with emptiness,
that One arose through the power of heat.

Lack of motion was hidden by lack of awareness

Nothing was distinguishable, everything was the same

The motion that arose was surrounded by no motion

There alone was the power of awareness.

Desire came upon that One in the beginning,
that was the first seed of mind.
Poets seeking in their heart with wisdom
found the bond of existence and non-existence.

It was the desire that was the disturbance

It was the beginning of the mind

There was then the awareness of existence

That also brought the awareness of non-existence.

Their cord was extended across.
Was there below?
Was there above?
There were seed-placers, there were powers.
There was impulse beneath, there was giving forth above.

Scale was formed from physical motion to metaphysical awareness, 

All opposites, such as below and above, had a scale as well.

There was concrete reality, and the abstraction underlying it

There was desire below,  and there was change above.

Who really knows?
Who will here proclaim it?
Whence was it produced?
Whence is this creation?
The gods came afterwards, with the creation of this universe.
Who then knows whence it has arisen?

Before the beginning of awareness

There was non-awareness

Before the beginning of motion

Who would know what was there?

Any knower came afterwards with the creation

Who then knows how disturbance came to be?

Whence this creation has arisen
– perhaps it formed itself, or perhaps it did not –
the One who looks down on it,
in the highest heaven, only He knows
or perhaps He does not know.

The beginning of the universe is there

Perhaps it formed itself, or perhaps it did not

Maybe the broadest viewpoint of it

Could reveal the secret of the beginning

Or, perhaps, it may not.

 

Summary

  1. We do not know what was there prior to the beginning of the universe. So, we shall call that state BRAHMAN as referred to in the ancient Vedas. This is also the “noumenon” of Kant.

  2. The universe seems to arise from the disturbance of this earlier state of BRAHMAN, or absolute zero. This beginning is characterized by motion and awareness. This is also the “phenomenon” of Kant.

  3. When there is motion there is also awareness. When there is no motion there is no awareness. Thus, motion and awareness present two different aspects of disturbance.

  4. The dimension of disturbance may be represented by a ‘concrete-to-abstract’ scale with concrete motion at one end also appearing as abstract awareness at the other end.

  5. This scale may be formalized as physical motion that is getting increasingly abstracted as metaphysical awareness.

  6. Thus there is a gradient of abstraction from PHYSICAL to METAPHYSICAL just like there is a gradient of temperature from HOT to COLD.

 

Accessibility of Memory

recall

Reference: Course on Subject Clearing

Answers depend on data. And data comes from observations in the present time, and the experience from the past. The experience is accessed in the form of memory.

This exercise helps access the memory in the most efficient way. If a memory is not accessible, one should focus on data in the present time. In this exercise, you determine rapidly whether the required memory is immediately accessible or not.

You will find that if you ask the mind for a memory, and the memory is there, it will always come up sooner or later if not immediately. It will come up when the mind is relaxed on that subject.

In this exercise you learn to be relaxed about recalling memories. You read an item from the list below to see if it triggers a memory. If a memory comes up, acknowledge its presence and examine it as necessary. If no memory comes up, then do not force the mind, or interfere with it in any way. Simply trust the natural processes of the mind to bring it up in due course of time. Keep your mind relaxed. Move to another item on the list and repeat the above actions.

While doing this exercise, adhere to The Discipline of Subject Clearing. If you are having trouble doing this exercise, practice Discerning the Environment until you feel more relaxed.

The List:

Recall a time when

  1. You were happy.
  2. You climbed a tree.
  3. You ate something good.
  4. You received a present.
  5. You enjoyed a laugh.
  6. You helped somebody.
  7. You threw a ball.
  8. Something important happened to you.
  9. You played a game.
  10. You jumped down from a tree.
  11. You won a contest.
  12. You laughed loudly.
  13. You met someone you liked.

Universe, Inertia & Consistency (old)

Inertia1

Reference: Disturbance Theory

The universe is the superset of everything that exists. There is no awareness beyond the universe. We may only speculate what is beyond the universe. When we become aware of something new we see it as part of this universe. We do not see it as “beyond this universe”. This boundary of this universe is thus determined by awareness. Beyond this universe there is simply non-awareness.

This is a universe of awareness. There is no awareness beyond this universe.

The universe consists of awareness. The awareness is made up of perception and further speculations arising from that perception. The perception may be divided into matter, energy, space, and time. When space is disturbed by time we have energy. When that energy condenses we have matter.

We perceive space being disturbed by time into energy. We further perceive energy condensing into matter.

Undisturbed space forms a reference point for this universe, physically as the absence of DISTURBANCE, and metaphysically as the absence of AWARENESS.

Physically, space is disturbed by time. This results in MOTION. The basic motion consists of interchanging electrical and magnetic fields. The frequency of this interchange generates an electromagnetic spectrum. This motion is balanced by inertia to appear as uniform speed.

Inertia in this universe provides a counterbalance to runaway motion.

Metaphysically, space is disturbed by desire. This results in EMOTION. The basic emotion consists of interchanging perception and recognition fields. The frequency of this interchange generates a spectrum of tones. This emotion is balanced by consistency to appear as uniform existence.

Consistency in this universe provides a counterbalance to runaway emotion.

This description of the inertia and consistency is objective. Human awareness is highly complex, but underlying that awareness there is inertia and consistency. This concept of inertia and consistency needs to be applied to the phenomena observed at the sub-atomic level of Quantum Mechanics.
