"Do not rely on your mind for
liberation. Go beyond it altogether. Be aware of being aware. Broaden and deepen
the field of awareness. You are beyond space and time, uncaused, the very matrix
of existence, the Supreme Absolute... the Source of being, life and
consciousness." ~Nisargadatta
You may be more busy and
distracted than you realize or even want to admit. The mind tends to get
fixated on thoughts about your survival, as it keeps itself occupied with
getting all those ever so important things done so you can remain happy,
successful, loved, at peace and free. The mind tends to form habitual ways of
thinking which give you a sense of security in life and can experience yourself
as you and not someone else. If you only had brand new and original
unique thoughts all day long and all life long, you probably wouldn't have any
clue about who or what you are. So there are many positive and negative aspects
to repetitive thinking patterns, yet this is not what creates the suffering you
experience in your life. It's the lack of stillness, silence and total
quietness of mind where all of life's apparent problems can be
found.

Most people say
that they just don't have the time to relax, meditate or sit still and do
nothing. They are too busy, too worried, too hooked into their desires to get
everything done that needs to get done so they don't feel even more stressed,
overwhelmed and more tired tomorrow. If this sounds like you on any level, my
advice is that if you ever want to get out of the rat race, you have to stop
thinking like a rat. You will need to entice your mind to step completely out
of its busy comfort zone, and start slowing everything down. If you ever want
to win this insane rat running race, you have to slow down. It may seem
preposterous, illogical, and that you'll only fall far behind, yet do you
remember who won the race between the tortoise and the hare? The hare fell
asleep because he was so tired, and then missed the entire journey while the
tortoise slowly strolled on by.
Perhaps the most
essential and vital foundation to lay down before you attempt to find this
omnipresent silence inside you, is knowing about the background of thoughts,
beliefs and programs that are playing out in your subconscious mind. This
deeper mind is a bit more difficult to hear than the incessant chattering noise
in the head, yet its always there. Its there just like all the things in your
basement and storage closet are there even though you don't see them everyday.
You cannot know what is hiding in your basement until you go down there to
look. It will never be cleaned and organized unless you make it your #1
priority, as if the fulfillment of your entire life depended on it. The
devotion to unraveling yourself is huge and will pay off for many years to
come! This is why I'm urging you now to start the process of slowing everything
down, just so that one day you can make it down to the very bottom basement
floor and see exactly what has been stored away in your deepest subconscious
programming.
