The simple way is allways the way. To be free of mind control just stay out of the mind, stay in the heart, in the still point. No matter you have no time to meditate, spread the stillnes trough out the daily routine by staying in the heart. I never get tired of this quote "Remember, nothing is under control"

Very true, the irony of that topic is that in the true case of ascencion there is no 'mind' to control... There's just emptiness of self, filled with the pure uncontrollable essence from the higher planes.

All very true, but enlightment is harder to hold than th so called "middle way", which i believe been in the heart is; right in the middle, simple.
@Zoolife , agree, same here. Thanks so much to all.

I agree with that. And I think that when someone thinks that he has perfected his defense response is when their the most obnoxious. Do you agree?

Maybe it's because Halloween is coming up but did anyone else notice the skull in the picture Guish posted?

Nothing ominous in mentioning this, just found it a curiosity.

Great you saw it. I posted it because of perception. I see a beautiful moon, I see the evil skul. The wise would see both and not get distracted. The middle way my Friend.

Thanks for the intriguing topic you brought up Chris, I also believe that in order to find ones self the psychiatric ego must be transcended. So that the Sense of Self Christ appears.

Cheers,

...And the 'adept' might get inspired by what they see here... leaving fear 'to the rear'.

I really don't understand how I ended up in that video--laughing.
It does not do to be too serious.
AND We make plans and God laughs.
Humour rules OK!!!

There are many reasons I like the no path of enlightenment.
Here are the main ones --
Its totally autonomous --I dont need anyone else to bring this about--I already am it.
Help is available via advice or Satsang to assist me to remove obstacles.
The help comes from the state called enlightenment.
The teacher and the taught are the same
There is no hierarchy
All are equal in every way.
I have choice to be part of group--by that I mean going to see friends at Satsang, retreat, or online. (just like here)
There are no rules, regulations, oaths to take, you are not judged.

Its my choice to invest money or not --the information is free but yes books and Satsang cost to arrange and put on.

Love Chris

Everything and every-thing is the phantom wall between us all. And as far as 'time' is concerned, it will always and has always been that way.

If you teach something, you're teaching yourself.
If you learned something, you've learned it from yourself.

The phantom wall is far beyond but oh so near, dear.

When it is said that we lose our individuality on entering Nirvana, words are being used loosely and faultily. So long as a man, whether he be Buddha or Hitler, has to walk, eat, and work, he must use his individuality. What is lost by the sage is his attachment to individuality with its desires, hates, angers, and passions.

May the wise not get caught up in it's own wisdom.

Distraction is a function of being.

Being 'here' is itself a distraction but it's one hell of a beautiful distraction.

Thanks Mr Beard... It's a fine atmosphere 'round here.

Blessings All Around...

ॐ
Sometimes you look into the face of a human being and only being is seen.
No history is left there.
You are looking into the face of God.
The breath of God burns all sorrow and suffering,
all dreams, desires and time,
revealing God's unmasked face.
I love that face.
Now you are looking into the face of God himself.
He is looking into his own face.
If duality has any purpose, it is that God may look at God
and enjoy his perfect reflection.
