Awakening from the Nightmare of the Ancient Mind
By Jim Mengini 3-19-08
If you take the mind out of the link between experience and life, then every one of the senses
hearing, seeing, touch, taste, and smell including
the subtle senses of the psychic realms become
wondrous and profoundly meaningful. In this way
one can easily understand that the purpose of life is living
This is a a paraphrase from Sri Baghavan who is describing the event of enlightenment. To be enlightened in his experience is to be free of the mental override that interferes with the experience of life so thoroughly that in his view life is never lived in any meaningful way through the filter of the mind.
Sri Baghavan speaks from his personal experience that
the mind of man has been the prison of humanity for millions of years.
The pain body is described in great detail by Eckhart Tolle. In his transformational experience he became very aware of this particular angle . The pain body is a living thought form that is embedded into the cell structure of the body and the energy bodies as well.
As Eckhart explains the pain body is like any other body it needs to be nourished. The pain body is nourished by any and all kinds of confusion pain discomfort.
On an individual basis. It thrives at the loss of the individuals own life experience.
On a cultural level the pain body thrives at the cost of the culture. On the planetary level the pain body thrives at the loss of planetary sanity.
The pain body has a fascinating way of kidnapping the identity of individuals and entire societies. Thus it is easy to understand how otherwise the gentle and creative people and cultures like China and the USA can be seen to inflict outrageous torture on masses of people and literally destroy the peace and sanity of whole areas of the world.
Sri Baghavan calls this the disease of the mind of man.
Eckhart Tolle calls this disease the pain body.
In both cases Sri Baghavan and Eckhart Tolle they are speaking from direct personal experience.
In other words these people are experiencing life ongoingly without the warped filter of the disease of the mind and the pain body.
What they share by their mere presence is the opening that is available once the mind is returned to its’ rightful place. Which is to act only as a computer like tool of the essential beingness of the life that resides
within the body and mind.
Both Eckhart and Baghavan are clearly describing an event that is occurring within the essence of all of humanity at this time.
There is an awakening that is not theoretical that is well underway within the consciousness of this planet and its people.
The rising of the pain bodies in wars and insanity’s of all kinds are actually being seen truly for the first time
by many people. What I mean by seen is that there is less and less acceptance by many people that the reasons the wars and suffering are claimed to be based upon are not fully accepted and there is increasing sense
that something is being revealed now because our actual perceptions are coming out from behind the veils of illusion created by the disease of the mind of man that has been in place for millions of years.
It is my intent here to raise my eyes and hand to declare that I am coming out from behind the prison walls of
identifying myself as the mind that is insane and hungering to keep itself well fed on the pain of myself and others. A distortion of perception that will even feed its painful nature through violent movies and insane news reports and TV shows that prey upon the true inner life that resides here in this body.
I am here declaring my own independence of this
mental and emotional disfunction.
And you know I have discovered that although the thoughts of the pain body will insist that to get free of it is impossible and very difficult to achieve. I have found that it is as simple as beginning to know the difference between myself and it. I no longer need to be loyal to
something that is stealing away my life minute by minute. I simple know that it is only a blocked stuck
painful energy that needs to be set free through mere observation. I see you pain body and I set myself free by just knowing that you are not me.
Each time I have remembered this in recent days I have become happier and clearer with more and more energy
available to create the life of my true spiritual essence.
And that life is enlightened moment by moment in this very direct and simple way.
