Mental Peace – Through understanding the wider consciousness.

It is interesting to note the way in which we cognize things and come up with feelings and emotion with respect to various items in the world. Understanding these with regard to a wider field of awareness leads to confidence and peace.

The sequence in the wider field seems to be as follows:  There is the expansive consciousness that may be called the Universal Consciousness.  When it functions through the brain (which is the physical organism), it issues out the mind as a stifled outlet of the Consciousness.  So, we can write:

   Universal Consciousness  ->  Brain  ->  Mind

This indicates that the perception by the Mind is always influenced by the Brain as a repository of memories and as an interpreting medium through the accumulated knowledge.  The Brain also carries the genetic conditioning apart from the conditioning by circumstances in which the human being finds himself or herself.  This causes the mind’s cognition and interpretation to be a matter of conditioned output and so it leads to improper understanding of what there really is.  One of  the inevitable outcomes of this warped awareness is the rising of the ego which is essentially a product of thought. 

 Thus, if we can reverse the above process, we begin to get a glimpse of the unspoiled Consciousness as evidenced by the following two ravishing experiences that human beings have gone through over the years:

1.            OBE  (Out of Body Experience)

2.            NDE  (Near Death Experience)

The above two have also demonstrated the significant fact that Consciousness can function without the brain being involved.

Once we explore the deeper aspects of Consciousness, Brain and Mind, we move into the esoteric aspects of life.  That lays the right foundation for wholesome and peaceful living.  This field of awareness forms the theme of the websitehttp://spirituality.yolasite.com
