The Human Mind - a Force for Good or Ill
The stranglehold of the lower mind over our lives is perhaps the biggest challenge for the majority of humans in these the dying days of the present epoch.
Because of its pernicious power I have written and spoken much about this lower mind, and how it, solely, is responsible for our anxieties and fears, our emotional state, our stress-related illnesses and for keeping us in ego. Having the lower “chatterbox” mind in submission is the key to spiritual liberation and peace of mind and heart.It is important to remember, too, that balancing the lower mind, our human test, is the higher mind which you could say is the test of the soul. Using inner wisdoms and the gift of invocation which we all possess but rarely use, the higher mind’s main purpose is to bring the knowledge and truth of the divine onto earth through each of us, to be used by us for good or ill as we choose. It is our opportunity decide at the level of the soul if our lives, necessarily and always the epitome of spiritual experience, are to be ones of peace or of suffering.
The peace comes through a soul in harmony and an ego which is dormant; the suffering comes through mental anarchy. This is the riddle of duality, a riddle which can be solved.

... Yes... I heard someone once say, "The ego (lower mind) makes a great servant but a lousy master!" Could it be that integrating the lower with the higher minds in harmonious balance is another way of naming the following of a spiritual path - the "Lesser Work?" |
