Thought of the day :
The mind is something we all inherently possess as gifts of the divine, and it connects us all on a subtle way into the deepest levels of spirit. The true reality is we all are of one mind. We all have minds - but they are all of the same mind much like a branch is of the same body of the tree or the leaves of its branches. The identity of each "leaf" is fixed on its own for it hasn't the eyes to see its roots - it can feel it.. but it cannot perceive it clearly with the sensing faculties it is "limited" to. Certainly it is not limited, but rather taught of these things measurable in its lowest measure of identity - common to separations of its like, but not others. It knows itself best as a leaf and not a branch so how does it know its source? This explains why we die as we are day by day growing further and further from the source - of early generations, some ascended before death or lived 950 years. We are dying off earlier as we become further and further from recognizing our inner light given by the creator. In this allegory of the leaf - exchange it for our human selves - divine and intelligent beings - as we percieve. We've studied our nature much longer then a leaf, neither do we understance how anything is conscious of itself. We cannot know how superior we are to them - we just assume so because we can eat herbs. Rather, I see it should be looked at as weak to think we need to eat "lesser" things. Anyway - because we are simply divisions of a much greater mind we all share, we are simply using these fleshly bodies as one would control an animals. This is not us. just because we inherited them from birth, we bound our souls to it. For that we cannot leave until it is unusable. We aren't human at all - we are mind. I hope this perspective can help break the limitations we place on ourselves. Whatever alchemy we place before us, mind will conform to its wish as a law is never bent or broken.
