The Source of All Anxiety
I was talking to friend about fear. This person was feeling anxiety over an up coming air travel trip and was in a state of emotional distress. Even though there was understanding of how the mind works with regard to fear, this person was unable to let go of the anxiety that was building. The subconscious mind has accumulated many related experiences that contribute to a state of confusion and conflict. Circumstances can bring these experiences to the surface in the form of emotional attachment to a projected reality in combination with the self that is seeking continuity. If you are escaping the moment through emotional release then you cannot have understanding that transcends the self that is always seeking continuance. This is not to say that you avoid emotion, for in reality you cannot. Emotion has its roots in the memory of what was. What was, is the content of a mind that is conditioned to react. Reactions are the product of a mind that is lost in the unreality of projected illusion. If the moment is true reality then all else is the minds attempt to understand through the projection of its own content, which is without validity in the absolute moment. In the moment you are totally free, one needs only to see without a self that is the movement of time. When there ceases to be a self that exist as a duality in space/time then there is an absence of comparison and conclusion. This is a state of existence which allows the moment and the realization of the truth of that moment. Freedom is the truth of the moment. Freedom that transcends all activity of a mind that is seeking what is through what was.
It is actually a very simple thing. One must simply be aware of the minds movement in time, how that it attempts to grasp meaning and definition out of and through what was (memory). It is not enough to simply understand this intellectually or conceptually. It must be a direct experiencing in the absolute moment that is absent a self perpetuating consciousness of accommodation and accomplishment. One simply observes without making a judgement or a conclusion. It is an awareness that is absent a self that is aware. Awareness that is unconditioned peels back the layers of the subconscious mind and allows one to see directly without the one who is seeking to know. As a person's level of awareness increases, one finds that there is a gradual release of psychological baggage that has been the source of much conflict and emotional instability. What we are referring to cannot be taught, a person must see and experience in the moment without a mind that is referencing. Otherwise it is just the result of the opinions and conclusions of another. It must be original without any connection to what has gone on before. There is neither belief nor non-belief, there is only the truth of the absolute moment, which is the awareness of an unconditioned consciousness.
