Your Thoughts Are Fooling You!

You Are Not Your Mind!

The mind plays a beautiful game of deception. Focussed on the processing of words and sensory information, the mind creates a false reality based on linguistic conventions or the etymological meaning assigned to words, while masking the higher planes of our unified awareness.

As a result we are trapped by the very matrix of language and its mental forms — words — resulting in false belief systems — political, religions, economic, cultural, etc — that completely limit our Soul’s cosmic consciousness to the lower planes of awareness. We become trapped in logical arguments that promote competition instead of cooperation, cruelty instead of kindness, lies instead of truth, and violence instead of peace. From the mental plane, the world is a place where you either “kill or be killed.”

In fact, the modern civilization is a perfect example of the type of society solely based on the logical functions of the human mind; a world driven by fear, hatred, war, and the endless drive to accumulate material wealth at the expense of all other possessions— including Life itself!

The Mental Plane
Luckily, the human Being is not entirely made of the mental plane! In fact, the mental plane is not you; it is only a dimension of you!
