Part Five:  The Mind is a Universe Unto Itself, Boundless and Filled With Wonders

Look inside.  How do you do that?  What is this ‘inside’ into which we must look?  The ‘inside’ is a misnomer, for it is not inside at all; it is otherwhere.  It is instead that part of us that exists in time, but not in space.  More clearly, it is that aspect of our being that exists only in time, only in the astral plane where there is no space, and having no space, it has no size or shape, no location or motion, no multiplicity.  The hidden Realm of the Mind is real, but it is so different from our physical existence in the material plane that we can’t begin easily to conceive it.  When you remove space, you remove outside and inside (as they apply to space); you remove direction and location (as they apply to space), you remove size and shape (as they apply to space), you remove location and motion (as they apply to space).  But the absence of purely physical qualities makes the mind not less real, but only more primitive, older than its physical counterpart, the brain.

Part Five. I see Life as episodic and worthy of capitalization. Life. I believe, you see, in the spiritual basis of all existence. We come into this world as spiritual beings with boundless potentials, for good or ill, for greatness or hubris or slothful waste, for lives of misery and struggle or lives of opportunity and ease, more often a blend of the two. Our potentials for achievement of wonderful things are abundant, but our world makes us before we are able to make our world. So it is that many of us must begin our adult lives discarding the misconceptions placed on us by our elder generations, ridding ourselves of the person we were expected to be by our parents and rediscovering the person inside us that nature imbued us with the potentials to become. We are guided by nature through an unending series of challenges and opportunities to awaken to the I-inside us, to come to know ourselves and fulfill our deepest potentials.

Some things follow upon others. When you consider a proposition thoroughly, it leads to further conclusions, so some things follow upon others. The Essynian Mysteries express a pervasive view of reality, that it follows a course of Natural Process. Natural process is how and why everything occurs in time, from the first instant of time when consciousness awakens from deep-sleeping existence and gives birth to time until the final instant of time when consciousness closes its eyes and falls off again into the timeless sleep of existence. Time is change and all change follows the course of natural process. Each instant of time is brought about by a change from the previous instant of time, and the change that occurs is the change made most inevitable by the existing conditions of that previous instant; the change that occurs is the change that must occur owing to those conditions, which include a certain temporal momentum.

In part two of this deposition of the Essynian Mysteries I tried, probably too hard, to describe the fundamental relationship of two aspects of reality.  Primordial Existence is called Spirit because it appears to be nothing and yet it holds the vast and boundless potential of everything, an unimaginably immense and relentless potential which is the driving force of the multiverse.  It requires the awakened powers of Consciousness, which I call Maya, to transform this reservoir of potential into action and change.  Spirit is what Maya IS, and Maya is what Spirit DOES.  Spirit is Being, and Maya is Becoming.  Lao Tzu spoke of Spirit as “the Eternal Tao” (the everlasting existence), whereas he called Maya (consciousness) “the Tao that can be told; the Mother of the Ten Thousand Things.”  These are the two existences, Spirit and Maya.  The former is the existence of potential being, and the latter is the existence of particular beings.
