Developing coherency through the mind
In reply to Living from the Torus - be all in by Open
Comment
The last few weeks, some of my meditative experiences have been with no mind, just dropping into emptiness. I have been enjoying that a lot. I think this happened with resolving some karmic blockages recently. But I think there was some attachment to this state and a perceived sense of achievement with it as well. The fact that you called it overthinking, and since it contained truth, was the reason for the triggering, I suppose. Which is a good thing because I had the opportunity to work on this.
Yesterday, in my meditation with my mind racing, the word coherency dropped in through the field. I understood we are not just invited to develop coherency through physical discomfort but also through the mind. The mind was confused with different decisions, but I could choose not to identify with them. This eased the mind. I also observed a shadow identity attached to achievement and could release a part of it. I suspect some of the ideas and visions with soul feelings are distorted by this shadow identity.
When you speak about living and creating from the torus, it fills me with adventure and possibility. I have been doing that to some degree. I know it's about creating from the higher faculties. At this point, I'm finding it difficult to hold these higher visions without the mind thinking and analyzing them. Possibly it's because some of the creative possibilities are so challenging or risky that I question their existence and implications. It also makes me want to let go and drop back into the comfortable emptiness and not bother about them. I realize this is the spiritual gym I'm invited to train in.
