Baptism of Soul: Mind alchemical


Happiness can not ever be implemented. Even if the circumstances are overcome the nature and carrying the fight from outside to inside, little by little, enough to suit our mood you want something different from what is given to possess. And if the story was so fast that our mood did not have time to change, not necessarily the nature desperate to win, more late, it is true, more subtle but equally effective. Then, at the last moment, the possession of happiness we can count, or rather, to have the same nature, diabolical cunning, destroying the office gives happiness. Having failed in everything that falls under the facts of life, nature creates an extreme inability, lack of psychological happiness. The phenomenon of happiness s'avverte or gives rise to more bitter reactions.

(Marcel Proust, In Search of Lost Time)

Mind enemy
If we try to replace the word "nature" is used by Proust, the word "mind", we will discover why the mind must be seen in Tantrism our own worst enemy, and at the same time, our best ally. As far as we possimo identify with the feelings, emotions and bodily feelings, to the point of feeling "Soul" inside the skin, we are always forced to make up my mind and that is that with automatic survival and adaptation to the outside world can pre-order instincts, impulses and libido in view of the action.

functions of mind are usually automated to the point that we can distinguish a subconscious mind that makes us take action more unpredictable unconscious mind that triggers a reaction and improvvisisi gestures and mind iperconscia represented by the system of beliefs, culture and spiritual models of reference that makes us think and say things that do not "belong" to our lives. In all three cases the mind is an obstacle to personal growth, development of consciousness and it is no coincidence that all the spiritual systems, East and West, are focused to increase inner awareness, which may have a real source authentic sense of self in relation to reality.

Even the perception of happiness is strongly influenced by the mind and nature that strongly opposes the desires, intentions and will of the soul, especially if this focuses on the mental faculties of the libido to gain self-centered wellness, beauty and serenity at the expense of someone else. The subconscious mind creates a veil of illusions, the unconscious mind sowing discord, envy and jealousy everywhere, while the mind iperconscia forces us to abide by religious laws, social work or simply hoping to win at the end celete a paradise, or a surrogate, such as retirement. The mind is hostile to us, the worst. Nobody pays any attention to the power of hypnosis to control the subconscious mind. Yet it is a concrete reality and damn do not realize that we are often in a state of hypnosis, and we act like chickens or chickens behind a fence guarded.

iperconscia mind, what should guide us towards health, happiness and salvation, makes us believe that God is far away and that happiness should be sought outside. However, the mind is also the tool to achieve true knowledge, and wise men and philosophers came to the conclusion that the mind is the source of both slavery and liberation, and the sadness of joy, our worst enemy as our greatest friend . This is why the mind is the only thing in this world that should be worth knowing, loving and attend. The mind indeed has many surprises. Hypnosis teaches that it is sensitive to words, images and contents of consciousness found in scripture or in the words of the enlightened, that is, those who have become friends of the mind and experience, in every moment of our time, the bliss of silence. Most

"model" of the mind lluminazione Gurumayi is still alive. His spiritual name meaning "chiseled" and then illuminated (mayi) from the guru www.siddhayoga.org. Illumination of the Mind by acting on the subconscious mind through words of love on the unconscious mind through images of beauty and mind by meditating on iperconscia speeches and works imbued with spiritual consciousness. There is also a method to educate the mind as opposed to where the shock therapy (used by Kubrick in "Orange mechanics) is to force the pupil of the eye absorb the spectacle of violence to create feelings of anxiety and physical revulsion, but it is a method that works only in the cinema.

Mind alchemical
L ' restlessness of mind, his natural inclination to do what he wants us to act upon the nerve centers, and finally the cerebellum on both hemispheres more to your liking, Western culture has led to speculation that the man is actually a kind puppet with the strings. Even Collodi's tale is part of this discussion and it is no coincidence that the story of the puppet swallowed by a whale, looks like in an extraordinary way to the three days spent by Jonah in the belly of the whale spring / cerebellum, a metaphor for a particular period of introversion that takes place through meditation.

When we practice meditation, the mind goes deeper and deeper inside and becomes more and more quiet. When it is perfectly still then you are ready to taste the nectar of the Self, that is health, joy and happiness to live free from all forms of packaging, attachment and identification with the personality or the material world. Free from corcitive forms of mind we can begin to play and enjoy life like a real baby (see Pinocchio and Child playing Bosch)

However meditation is not suited to the Western world. Most of us are unable to keep still to contemplate the thoughts. Instead there are many Westerners to practice inconsapevolemnte education of the mind through a program not unlike that practiced by the great artists of the Renaissance. This program is not a hard practice, it is not a discipline, not the one who teaches yoga and even alchemy. It happens, and nothing else.

Mind friend
E 'a journey of self-instruction to the realization that the soul takes to arrive to enlighten the mind and realize the perfection of consciousness. At first the soul speaks to the mind and whispers words of encouragement to overcome anxieties, fears, the anguish. Then went on to ask the mind to not respond to verbal or visual stimuli with violence, aggression, and finally convinces her to keep quiet and calm until immobility practicing compassion, forgiveness and nonviolence. And 'this what the alchemists dell' Arte Renaissance called "Little Work" transmutation of subconscious mental factors (tamas, rajas and sattva / three disciples) in self-awareness (Gesuino arms of Mother and Child / enlightened mind)

Completed the "Little Work" can begin the "Great Work" imagined by Botticelli, Leonardo to Caravaggio and Velazquez. In this second stage, the soul acts on the mind through awareness perception, understanding, insights and contemplation of the symbols used by the mind during the process of transformation of the mind (the Virgin) in spiritual substance (Our Lady of the Magnificat). It is not difficult to practice the art of illuminating the mind through the Art of Perception.

Titian painting gives a good example " Love Sacred and Profane Love." To the right of the painting lies
Luciferian Venus, the morning star, the emblem of "Action in Perception", a metaphor of the soul that goes in search of words, images and sacred texts which in turn hearts love for the sacred life. Titian Venus Persephone places left, the evening star, symbol of the soul that makes the health, happiness and material well-being on the ground by developing the qualities of "'Perception of Action." There is a thread that connects the two souls. Both can act to achieve spiritual and material desires, because the mind has become that of a child (the little cherub) were playing and sink your hands into a cylindrical tomb, a symbol of eternal silence, but also of imagination and creative fantasy.
