All thoughts come from outside- Sri Aurobindo and The Mother

[bram]

Wisdom from Sri Aurobindo

Summary:

All thoughts come from the Universal Mind.
Our mind is not an instrument but an organizer of knowledge.
We accept a certain range of ideas based on our affinity.
What we call our self is just an amalgam of thoughts that have been trapped and keep circulating. (“I like this; I hate that; I am this kind of a person”)
We may receive and express the same thought-idea differently due to variations in the individual mental consciousness.
Inspiration slips in when the mind falls silent – not when the mind is making effort as is commonly believed.

When things seem to get hard in the outside world, the so called reality, also begins to harden in the sense of real and permenant. That is why it´s important to go beyond intellect, because an intellectual mind is in grave danger of falling after rising again and again.
The only solution is to have a direct experience, that way the mind will remain calm with deep focus, unmoved by storms.
Sincerely,
David

Thank you very much for posting this. I've read and reread it, and I think I've managed to force it through my mind's filters and am currently trying to make it comfortable there, perhaps to stay a while. I genuinely feel as though I'm starting to comprehend some of the things that have puzzled me all my life.
