"getting above the mind"?

Is for you the mind then still a fightable *reality*?

By trying to get above aren't you assigning reality to it?

Are you by any chance fighting delusion with illusion?

Are you by any chance fighting fire by dowsing it with gasoline?

When that is what you think, than that is what you think...

What if some just forget about it...?

Better not to feed a fire with hot air...

Buddhi needs no purification

And why clinging to dirt...?

 

Love, Wim

 

PS.

Are you my attachment?

I'm letting go.

 

Are we your attachment?

Will you let go?
