No Mind

What is the state of a mind that is without identification? This is something that is very very subtle. Thought is a movement, it does not exist except that it moves from one time element to another. Thought and the self are the inseparable elements of a movement through time/space. They are the perceived individuality of a defined movement. That individuality and movement are the combined illusion of an entity that is seeking to know its self though its own self created image. In essence what is observed is the observer, a projected image of self knowledge. One cannot realize the original mind essence, which is the unconditioned, until there is insight into the duality of thought and its driving force, the desire to be and to continue as a defined entity.

When we define we limit, one becomes a being that relies on its self created image to deal with the conflict of daily living. One acts within the defined constraints of ones self imposed ideals. Such a person becomes a prisoner of systematic ideological protocols. One may deviate, but in the end it is impossible to escape the elemental conforming requirements of ones beliefs. So you are trapped by the limitations of your own self created identity. You may think that you are free to decide but you are not. One is collared with ones own psychological accumulations, the imprint of a self seeking individuality. You can have a realization about your state of mind that is either a defined ideal or an in the moment direct experiencing of what is. When one sees directly without the self that is concluding then all illusion dissipates. There is then the truth of the absolute moment which is without self image. The words that are used to explain this state of mind in no way capture the reality of it. That is why it is called no mind. Because it is a state of existence that is absent thoughts movement as an individuality. It is beyond normal comprehension and cannot be mathematically or logically resolved as factual evidence. But its outcome is a being that is at peace with all existence. One who is without prejudice or violence. A totally free entity that lives in the unknown. It is the way of the unconditioned.
