Conditioned mind is karma,
samskara and vasana.
The entangled mind
is synchronicity, meaningful
coincidence, and
spontaneous fulfillment
of desire.
The free mind
is spontaneous creativity
and liberation
from all suffering.
So let's go over these
three ideas
and then see what's the best way
to free ourselves
of conditioned mind,
centuries of conditioning,
million millennia of conditioning.
And conditioning
simply means the modification
of consciousness into predictable
patterns of thought,
feeling, behavior,
speech, habits.
So this is
a recycling
of experience and the interpretation
of experience.
Forget about all those ideas, like
good actions will create good results.
And you know,
even if you free yourself from karma,
you free yourself from the cycle of
rebirth, etc.
For now,
although
those are profound ideas,
they're are also arcane
and not easy to understand.
So just think of
karma is past experience
and interpretation of experience.
But now, because of
epigenetics, we know and genetics
that genetics and epigenetics
are the symbolic
representation of experience
and interpretation of experience.
And therefore our body,
this physical body is a projection
of the conditioned mind of karma.
And karma leads to samskara.
Samskara means the residue
of the memory of the experience.
And samskara
leads to vasana, which means habits,
tendencies, personalities
which recycle as the karmic body,
this body.
Karma.
And the karma runs deep.
It's not personal, only,
it's collective.
And it goes back
to the dawn of history.
See your body,
the human body,
and all the bodies, by the way,
are the recycling of experience
in consciousness.
And we don't see most of
that consciousness
because it is in the
sub-manifest order of being.
Only we see
symbolic representations of
that which is this body mind
and how it behaves
and how it thinks
and how it
moves in the world
of spacetime and causality.
So karma also
indicates causality.
And you know,
in a way it's analogous
to the classical world of physics.
Okay, so what is the entangled mind?
The entangled
mind is a little bit deeper.
It is a mind
that is expressed through non-local
correlation or synchronicity.
It is a deeper knowing in this sub
manifest order being also that
that we are all entangled
with each other.
There's non-local correlation.
We experience it
through
synchronicity, as I said,
spontaneous
fulfillment of desire,
meaningful coincidences.
And it is also an expression
of the sub-manifest order of being.
Our collective
desires, our collective fears,
but also
our collective archetypes, and,
our collective aspirations,
our collective longings, all
of which influence the ecosystem
of relationship.
Okay.
And then there's the free mind
which goes beyond all of this.
The free mind is the source
of all experience,
without any conditioning,
even before the entanglement.
And this source of experience, as I
have said, is always
a field of infinite
possibilities, a field
of unpredictability
connected
to the uncertainty principle,
a field of pure creativity,
a field of pure evolution,
a field of pure self-regulation.
That field, which is without
cause, spaceless,
timeless,
incomprehensible,
unimaginable,
fundamental, infinite,
borderless and fundamental.
Three minds: conditioned mind,
entangled mind
and free mind.
Now, the conditioned
mind can be overcome
through conscious choice-making.
And so before you make any choice,
ask yourself the consequences
of the choice.
There's much more to it,
but now I'm
told that
more than 10 minutes and I can't
post on Instagram and or Facebook.
Okay, so how do you overcome
the conditioned mind through
conscious choice making?
Always stop before you make a decision.
Press the pause
button, ask yourself the consequences,
and choose consciously.
Entangled mind is cultivated
through empathy, feeling what others
feel, compassion,
equanimity,
love in action, joy
and just relationship
through attention, affection,
appreciation and acceptance.
And then there is the free mind,
which is revealed
through shruti and smriti.
Shruti is the reveal knowledge
usually referred to as the "vedas",
it is considered to
be of divine origin and said to
be authorless.
How can you get Shruti?
The best way to think of should
is, "that which is heard."
So it's revelation.
Revelation and it is spontaneous.
It's also spontaneous
creativity.
And there's another word, smriti.
Smriti is the
remembered knowledge of the Vedas,
it is considered to be the work
of human beings and attributed to,
say, the authors of the Upanishads.
In the historical tradition,
Puranas are stories
about gods and goddesses
that actually symbolically
represent the entangled mind.
The Upanishads are philosophical texts
that explored the
nature of reality and the self.
But even
without access to the Puranas,
which are very
inspiring, and the Upanishads,
which I am helping translate
here for you, but you can study them,
they give us the techniques
to go beyond both conditioned mind
and the entangled mind.
If you want to.
Spontaneous creativity,
spontaneous evolution
and freedom from all suffering.
This is a very brief summary.
As I said, I'm told now we have time
limitation of 10 minutes...
but shruti,
that which is heard
and what is heard?
The source of all the experience
is revealed.
And then smriti,
that which is remembered.
We remember the source
of our existence.
And in that remembering
of the source of our existence,
we discover our divine self.
Let me know if this is useful.
