A prisoner of the mind

Once you start trusting what thought says... Notice, this is something happening since childhood. From the earliest age, you give credibility to thoughts. All we do is trust in what thought says.

We even carry the illusion we are the authors of these thoughts, that these thoughts are our creation, which in fact isn't true. Thought is something learned. Thought is something copied.

Another thing about thought is that it is just a transient appearance, while You are immutable, although your body changes and the whole psychological structure is constantly changing. You remain unchanged in your Being.

So, your Divine Reality doesn't alter, doesn't change, but thought is something constantly changing, just like feelings, emotions, and bodily sensations.

So, once you start trusting thoughts, which is what happens since childhood, you become a prisoner of the mind – that's the expression. Mind becomes a prison.

Then, your Being that, paradoxically, remains entirely dissociated and free…It temporarily experiences a prison.

Once you're identified with what thought says, you become a prisoner of the mind.

The observation of this movement, the attention on this movement is the basis for Meditation, for the discarding of this identification. Then, you can dissociate yourself from what You are not.

So, this story thought has about who you are, throughout this time, has formed an image within you, which is the image you have of yourself. Based on this image, you are in a prison.

Your work of Self-Realization is the work of acknowledging your Divine Nature, which, by the way, will not be self-realized. It remains completely dissociated and already free, but, paradoxically, I repeat, this is not the way you see yourself since you see yourself based on this self-image, in this prison, the mind's prison, in which you move like a prisoner.

Therefore, anxiety, loneliness, anguish, any form of psychological suffering, lies in this ignorance. The basis of these lie in the fact of this present illusion, the illusion of a supposed entity, and now I can say, a supposed prisoner of mind, moving like this.

Self-investigation, which is the basis for this Meditation, which is this attention to all this internal movement, inside you, is what allows you to see all this illusion, everything that thought has engendered, has shaped, has produced based on the illusion of this self-image.

Here lies the possibility of a straightforward answer to the end of this internal confusion, for the end of all this disorder, for the end of this suffering, for the end of this anguish, these states of pessimism, defeatism, negativism, as well as the end of the illusion of pride, envy, of showing partiality to people, of the illusion of being a person and so forth.

So, here the point is: find out the Truth about who You are and go beyond the illusion, this illusion of prisoner, of a mind's prisoner, of a prisoner of everything that mind represents.
