Page 24 - The Ultimate Truth in 4 pages - The Present (complete) - Chapter 2: Big Picture of Life Experienced in the Present
You still have a mind filtering the input of life. It does does not let everything in, it lets divine life in (perfect life), but divine life is not composed of everything coming to you. Your mind has to be discerning, or life would have no definition. It would just be a flood of sensation, and that would be too much; too much of a good thing. The mind that knows the truth of life lets in all that comprises the best possible life experience, true life. It's much more than the mind of man lets in, but not everything.
The divine mind works like a sound equalizer that controls the volume of different instruments in a band, to make it sound the best it can sound. It is very subtle, and doesn't block life as the animal mind does, but it does regulate the input.
People are too unconscious to know that they are unconscious.
They are too closed-minded to know that they are closed-minded.
They are too asleep to know that they are asleep.
Hypnosis: Mankind is hypnotized. Hypnotized means to be put into a state of semi-consciousness, a waking sleep. The problem is that we have been hypnotized to not know we are hypnotized.
Under a spell: It is like we are under a spell that has put us to sleep. We need the kiss of truth to wake up from this spell.
You will be carefree, but not careless, child-like, but not childish, innocent, but not ignorant. You will not need anything, but have it all.
Two ways: There are only two ways to experience life: through the animal mind or not through the animal mind. You have two choices in every moment of life: to be with your mind or to be with life. The choice is yours.
Your five life senses are much more than the sum of their parts. Together, completely open, they reveal true life. You wake up from a long sleep.
You do not need all five senses to know true life; you can be deaf and blind and still experience it. It is just about getting your mind out of the way.
It is just a change of perspective from being a man/spirit to a spirit/man.
True life is everything except the mind's illusion of "reality."
