As with distorted and sometimes misused sayings of old, great care also must be taken when practicing mindfulness techniques, including healing modalities and “manifesting”, ensuring always that they form part of an overall programme of seeking a fusion state of mind.
Put simply, if say you are unhappy in your job and you use mindfulness techniques to help take the “edge off it”, then you are sending yourself into far greater problems than you had in the first place when simply being unhappy in your job.
It is your ever-evolving intellectual function which sent you into the unhappy job, and so it should be your intellectual function which gets you out of it. It is very capable of doing so, and will thank you for trusting in it as it learns its way through life.
If however you ignore your intellectual function, and choose to engage in mindfulness practices which essentially serve to amplify your intuitional communications, then you are basically starting a civil war within your own self.
You are essentially setting up your intellect and intuition in positions where they will start working against each other and not with each other. It always needs to be remembered that it is only when your intellect and intuition work with each other that you can find your “whole” nature. If left unchecked, such civil wars can escalate into exceptionally destructive forms, and the following explains how.
The ego and its intellectual faculty is in many ways like a child born into a world, ready willing and able to help enhance everything it sees around it. It arrives in one sense as pure spirit, knowing only exuberant joy and abundance. This pure spirit then absorbs itself into the current state of the world, most often finding that everything is quite different to its natural way, and that the state of exuberance that it knows as “home” has become spread out over a whole range of emotional states. Early on, it is dependent on others to help it grow into the world, absorbing many beliefs and vibrations from others to help it navigate the many trials and tribulations that human life brings. In providing this security, the ego and intellect is then able to focus on making better sense of things, as its primary needs are being satisfied, and as it evolves its way towards a state of independence.
Now this process of evolution is in many ways achieved through trial and error, especially when the mass set of beliefs and social expectations it has had to absorb growing up are far from optimal, and the state of independence it finds itself in still seems far removed from the abundance it knows exists deep down. This situation can then cause discontent, leading the ego to believe that the intellect is at fault, and so looks around at other options to help resolve the difficulties, amongst which are mindfulness techniques. Mindfulness techniques however are simply a way of communicating with your biological or cellular knowledge banks, and the principal knowledge that is to be gained is the concept of nuclear interdependence, which involves a process of chain-reaction.
Now, processes of chain-reaction exist in both nuclear fission and nuclear fusion, and so an individual or mass ego which may be occupying a fission state of mind through its current discontent will develop this insight into how to engineer a nuclear reaction based on nuclear fission, not realising that the insight was gained for the purposes of developing a nuclear reaction based on nuclear fusion. The difference in outcomes when choosing between these two routes is quite stark, with one being exceptionally destructive and the other being exceptionally creative. Both, however, can be created and experienced, as we have free will to choose.
At this juncture it is useful to point out that thought experiments carried out by physicists, as well as their mental seeking for knowledge overall, connect to the same banks of intuitional knowledge as mindfulness practices do. Indeed, any questioning made by any individual ego triggers the same process, hence the phrase “Ask, and it is given …”. The key then is to make sure you interpret the information received in the light of a fusion state of mind.
Mindfulness practices can form a useful part in helping you find your whole or true nature, especially when trying to transition from a fission state of mind to a fusion state of mind, but please take care to ensure that you engage in such practices to help bring together your intellectual and intuitional faculties, and not to set them apart.
