Template-thinking and Linear Assumptions!!!

Just another time when a word tickles my brain…

I am caught in a sort of stupor. I am burdened by the memories of the past, burdened by the projections of the future and miserably failing only to live even at the minimum in the present.

My template-thoughts keep coming back without warning. Fear that I am losing what I myself don’t want to hold…is the craziest assumption that my mind has made. I am not sure why but there is an unrest of a weird sort.

Gosh!! The mind is just not intelligent…..the No-mind is just simply more smart and revolutionary….

I have to stop here and drop all thoughts. Drop the dust that I have collected in the past…allow my inner flame to rise - clean, clear and let it burn the situation out. Right now there is only a dim flame and lots of smoke.

This smoke veil of illusion, keeps me from perceiving reality as it is. I have to respect the turbulence and allow it to settle before the awareness of the no-mind settles in.

Am just wondering whether the smoke is choking others who stand close? Complexities of the mind perplexing the innocent yet again! Trust me, when the mind and no-mind are at war...I am at a loss, too.

On second thoughts, an interplay of Karma and Richard Bach's "fateful cloud", meant to be here to cause this turbulence. A better laid plan that I rather not take ownership of or make claims on...

As for me-would need some introspection and some efforts to be more present and watchful. The key lesson here is to “Step back” and allow the center of witnessing to emerge.
