Hay Ku of the Day ("Never Mind" - "Take No Thought "-- "Don't Think")
The human mind is
A mental house divided
By relative thought.
The carnal mind is
A mental house divided
By self-absorption.
***
Self-cognition is
A mental house divided
By self-reflection.
Self-cognition is
A mental house divided
By circular thought.
***
The carnal mind is
A mental house divided
Into partial states.
The carnal mind is
A mental house divided
By self-focused thought
***
Thinking creates a
Pseudo Division in the
Consciousness I Am.
Thinking creates a
Pseudo self-division in
The Knowledge I Am.
Thinking creates a
Pseudo self-division in
The Seeing I Am.
***
Thinking begets a
Pseudo self-division in
Awareness Itself.
(1) Classic Quote-Wise
"If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." -- Jack Benny
(2) Scripture-Wise:
"For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."
-- 1 Corinthians 13:9-12 KJV
(3) Rich-Wise:
The Boeing 727s I flew had what we called "the trailing edge of technology" digital voice warning system that warned, "Don't Sink! Don't Sink! Don't Sink!", if you got got low on the ILS glide path. However, it sounded much more like "Don't Think! Don't Think! Don't Think!" Which was and remains equally appropriate guidance, not only in that situation, but in many others, both in flying and life.
(4) OOMM- Wise:
"Mind is a mental process, not an object; a conscious movement arising in a much broader field of awareness. As such, minding is something we do, not something we have—this by first narrowing the focus of our awareness, minding “this” to the exclusion of “that,” and then constantly attending to shifting mental focal points. With all mental movement itself the result of said linear sequential shifts in attention from one focal point to another. All of which occurs within the single field in which all such centers naturally arise. Mind, as such, is a continuous process of mental self-polarization, reflection and conception with respect to the overall field of awareness one truly is—a rather miraculous process of self-creation enabling pure awareness to reflect upon itself, and in so doing give birth to its own self-awareness or consciousness of being." [from the introduction to Chapter 2, "Through a Glass Darkly, But Then Face to Face," of "Out of My Mind and Back to My Senses" (OOMM), soon to be re-released through Redemption Press.]
