Mind

What is mind? Is it something we can touch? No. Is it something we can feel? Yes. Is it something we can create with? Yes, and no, depending where our state of being exists. Is mind God ? Yes and no, again depending where our being exists. This is the paradox as mind is all and is nothing. You will need to give a lot of thought to this statement. Lets look at some analogies.Humanity is totally confused because of MIND. It is mind that puts us in a state of duality. A shock of life comes along and the left side of our brain, which functions and gets its power from the mind will begin to say this is a bad thing or a good thing that is happening at the moment. Maybe later the RIGHT side of the brain, which also gets its power from mind will start to sort things out and takes over intuitively and the inner voice attempts to direct us. Depending upon our state of being, we will go with the left side of the brain or the RIGHT side of the brain.

In the past you have been told that mind is God. In a sense that is the truth. You were told this so you could better identify with what it is you call GOD or GOOD, ALL GOOD. In so called reality, all there is, is mind. However this thing we call mind is located at many different levels. Depending upon what level you are is the level that your mind is functioning. Let us give you another analogy.

If a man or women are always thinking of sex, drinking, earning a lot of money, name, fame or a sundry of other wants, that is exactly where the mind is and that is the level at which the mind functions at. At times, some of you say this person or that person are out of their mind. If that be the truth, then where is that person when you think they are out of their mind? Can't you see that for the most part humanity has no understanding of the term used, as mind. You also use such phrases as there is no changing my mind or I hope you change your mind or they are of such a mind set ,etc,etc,etc. We trust you are starting to think a little as this subject covers so much learning and understanding that it's not possible to give you the full dose at this time.

Look at this life and many other life times and you can compare your life to a ladder. As you already know a ladder has many rungs, starting at the bottom and going up. You need to know NOW on what rung you are on and what it is you need to do in the NOW to move up to the next rung going up without slipping through the space between the rungs. If you don't give thought to where you are NOW, you will become stationary where you are and others will push you aside as they climb the ladder. You may even slide down a rung or two. We use this analogy to suggest to you that what we refer to as the space between the rungs in the ladder would be what time is to the many.

You now enter a place where you judge what you are doing by another word called time. Humanity has lived a life that is based and planed around a non-existing, man made word and world called time. The many say, I will go here and do such and such when I retire at age 65. I will get married when I am 30 years of age. I will strive to be more spiritual after I get over this illness. Can you not see the folly in this kind of thinking. Some of you at this very moment may be thinking as you read this that "I have heard this over and over many times" however you are still thinking out of the left side of your mind. That you still have plenty of TIME to do what needs to be done. One needs only to function out of the RIGHT side of the brain that tells you to stop wasting all of your precious energy building and planning around a no-thing, that has no existence and never will, except for those who are content to think that time is a reality. You use words like "don't waste TIME" or " TIME is running out" and usually ending an incarnation thinking "if I only had more TIME". One must come to the realization that TIME is the "empty space" between the rungs in the ladder leading upward to your true spiritual self. When you count on time to get you to a higher state of awareness, you are putting your foot between the rungs (time) of the ladder.

Thereby you are unable to go any higher than where your being is now. Review your past to find how many of your plans that were prepared for the future came to pass. In fact so much so called "time" went by, that many forget what it was they planned to do. Therefore their foot goes between the rungs (time) of the ladder. Your TIME was wasted, or was it? Hopefully you learned from looking back..

One must remove themselves from the element of the non-existing time and totally function in the NOW. Harder still, one MUST remove themselves from the MIND! Before you jump out of your skin, THINK, THINK and then THINK again. Is it not mind that tells you THIS and THAT, RIGHT or WRONG, GOOD and BAD. When you function outside of MIND, there can't be THIS OR THAT, RIGHT or WRONG, GOOD and BAD. There just IS. So long as you are functioning in the mind you live in THE LIFE OF DUALITY. Think that one over.

We feel there are those among you that will come to an understanding of what it is we are trying to convey to humanity. This is not for the weak of heart, it is given to those you who will remember and rejoice in the knowledge of truth, the truth of your being and where your being dwells. Now there may be some among you who are very confused at this point. Why after all the reading and teaching I received over the years, am I given another obstacle to deal with? No one has given you anything. You have had some information passed on to you in hopes you will come to a better understanding of self. What you do with this information is for your own being to accept or reject. Your decision either way, accepted or rejected will be correct for you. Do not allow yourselves to be influenced by ANYONE, as this message will be interpreted differently by different people, depending upon where their state of being exists. You see there is no right or wrong, only different experiences for different people. It should be very clear to you now that the message that we are attempting to convey to you is one of helping you to learn to love ALL things unconditionally. THIS CONDITION CAN ONLY COME ABOUT WHEN YOU ARE FUNCTIONING OUT OF MIND. FOR ONLY THEN CAN YOU LOOK AT ALL THINGS AND NOT PASS ANY JUDGMENT FOR OR AGAINST ANYTHING

It would be possible to write volumes of books dealing with mind and we are sure that you would be exposed to hundreds of different interpretation's given to you. However if you were to boil them all in a pot, you would be left with the essences of the truth of being, and that truth is there has never been a truth regarding mind in your world of time and space. If there were indeed a truth then there would have to be a falsehood. You are then functioning under the law of duality or under the law of mind. Under this law of duality you are always exposed to leaning too far to the left or right. It would be as walking a tight rope 500 feet in the air and you have a ten foot pole to help you keep your balance. At the end of each pole you have a five pound weight. If the pole shifts to much to the left, you will become unbalanced. If the shifts to much to the right, you become again, unbalanced. You MUST focus all your attention on your center where you really exist. Do not look to the right, left, up or down. Keep all your attention straight ahead. Focus all your attention on the point you are trying to reach. You can be very successful if you walk the tight rope while you are in a state that exists outside the mind. Only then, your forces are focused at the center of your being.

We would like to relay one more message before closing this lesson. Please don't be fooled by our reference of mind in this writing. Has it not been conveyed to you many times, "IN IT WE LIVE, MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING." This is so. This is as it should be. However the many seem to think, and we quote, "I HAVE A MIND OF MY OWN." Herein lies the problem in your thinking. The many substitute their WILL with the word MIND. You do not have a mind of your own, but function under Universal Mind. It is in Universal Mind that you Live, Move and have your Being.

When you truly see a person who has reached spirituality in its fullness you can truly say that, "That person is OUT OF THEIR MIND." A quotation that the many have taken as an insult or uses to belittle one of their brothers or sisters. Telling one that they are out of their mind on your plane of existence is intended to mean they are crazy or insane. Would not the many say you are crazy, insane or you are talking like a mad man or women if you were to share some of your knowledge of the mystic teachings?

If you have any doubts, walk up to one of the many and share any part of the mystic teachings you believe to be true. How quick they would laugh at you and then behind your back say," obviously those people are out of their mind and are going to hell." So you see our intent is not to jest about MIND, but to enlighten you regarding the laws of MIND and how it functions on your side of being. You have much to think about.

COMMENTARY BY ED:

I was very taken back as I wrote this lesson, surprised that this information is now ready to be given to those seeking their true self. I remember Michael (my teacher) touching on the subject a few times, giving me just enough to get me thinking. He would say to me "now take this to bed with you tonight darling and ponder on it." Then he would add, "seal your lips or you might end up in the Tarpon Mental Hospital. We would laugh together and then go on to another subject. However no matter what the subject, the little we discussed about mind was all I could think about. When I approached the subject many times in our talks, he would say "what in the world are you talking about darling, are you out of your mind? I knew enough to never ask him to give more details. As I worked my way through the little he gave me, I then came to the realization how serious a matter this subject of mind was and how whatever I thought I knew to HNT (Have No Tongue). I would suggest to you that you carry this lesson as if it were Gold and do not let the many share in it's meaning to you. Be it a truth or a non-truth you just may find yourself in the Tarpon Springs Mental Hospital. I will ask that you not share this with anyone outside this class as I feel some may be tempted to do. Do not cast your pearls among the swine, lest they be trampled upon and be defiled.
