“The Coming Superbrain: Computers keep getting smarter, while we stay the same.” This is the title of an article I read in the NY Times, Sunday, May 24, 2009.
How about a bigger view?
The times we are living in remind us that the days of being resistant to change must end. In spite of any fear of doing so, we must change our familiar way of operating. We cannot afford to stay the same and we don’t have to. We can learn to mine the untapped powers we all possess.
You have within you the higher levels of consciousness that spiritual leaders have talked about for centuries. Within this consciousness are “minds” that transcend ordinary thinking and processing. One of these minds lives deep within your mid-chest. This mind, your innermost self (Buddha nature, Christ within, formlessness, Heart Presence, pure consciousness), directly knows your most enlightened course of action in all situations. Your innermost self is also where love, connection, peace, beauty and joy are found.
Another mind, even more profound than the innermost self, comes into existence when the mind in your head is working in conjunction with the mind deep in your chest. In the East, this mind has been called “the jewel in the lotus.”
Deep within you is the yearning for a greater life and the courage to follow it. As you follow this yearning, in the context of your daily life, you will come to know that your life matters and you will effortlessly lift up those around you. In a time of great stress, it is time to do what it takes to get free. You can do this, and we can do it together.
