The mind’s walls


Based on and believing the surface, dense mind, we are accustomed to seeing walls and assume they naturally exist within as well as without us. Assuming they are real, we paint them, dress them or bring them down, building new ones in their place, because we have never imagined a life without them.  We thus give all our attention, placing our energy on our seeming reality. This focused perception keeps us in isolated structures.

The walls are made of our belief systems, which form structures that we are too afraid to get out of. How do we tear down the whole wall structure at once, without needing to discover and recover every single brick that we used to put it together in the first place?

It is possible.
The structure was built unconsciously, bit by bit, empowering – in the process – the ability and the result of the formation. But do we dare lose that importance, the identity of that which we have become behind walls? Does the process of destroying the wall and enhancing our perception have to be an equally slow and painful one? Can it not be destroyed at once?

It can.

By letting life come in and thus stretching the walls, till we discover that they weren’t ever there to begin with. What does that mean?

Let life come in. Allow all of life to flood in. When we are one with life, there are no walls; we don’t need them. There is no need for separation. The separation is within. It’s an imaginary inner structure that obstructs perception.
