when you're ready to
hear all your mind's wisdom
The water tasted delicious. This morning, upon seeing the skull, the thought of what he had done the night before made him sick to his stomach. He understood that it was his thinking, and not the water, that made him feel ill. It was his thinking that created good and bad, right and wrong, delicious and foul tasting. With no thinking there was no suffering.
Having realized this, his journey was complete, as he no longer needed to find a Zen master.
Thinking is a major factor in the creation of suffering. The rational mind tends to understand life through the filter of "opposites" and by separating one thing from another. Right and wrong, good and bad, you and me, easy and difficult, are all created by thinking. When we are not thinking we are not attached to winning or losing, succeeding or failing. When we are not attached to the results we achieve, our body stays relaxed, adaptive, and flexible. People desire many things.
Fame, fortune, sex, power. All of this desire comes from thinking. When we are thinking, we are not understanding our core self. When we do not understand our core self, we do not understand the truth. When we do not understand the truth we misrepresent and distort the world, and thus we suffer. Not thinking leads to intuitive action. Intuitive action leads to living calmness. When we don't think we don't know. When we don't know, we learn from everything.
Thinking can also be quite OK, and even necessary and fantastic. Without thinking nothing would run on schedule, there would be nothing to run on schedule, and I could not write this article. If you are not upset by your thinking, and if you are not convinced by your thinking, than thinking is very helpful. It is important though to keep a "not worrying" mind when you think. When you worry your thoughts draw your emotions and your body into a non-productive state, and you lessen your overall health and vitality.
When we do not think, all of our energy settles into one point in our body. When our energy gathers in this one point it is fully available to be directed to other points, other activities, as we desire. When our energy is settled we enter into a state of living calmness. This is a state in which we are most likely to manifest our full power. In Oriental culture, one is advised to empty one's cup if one desires more tea. In the same way, emptying our system of thoughts prepares us to receive new ideas, and take on new challenges.
When we think, our mind appears to be inside our head. This is a small mind. This mind is separate from others. When you are not thinking, your mind has no boundaries, no fixed location. This is a big mind. Everything is inside your mind and your mind is inside everything. There is no inside and outside, no audience and performer. There is no opponent and no winning or losing.
