The Purification of the mind [Query: Karmic retribution and Hell]

[Guest guest]

To me, purification of mind is a no-mind state. This is a state

where one is void of all thoughts. One is in harmony with oneself.

 

Its like an onion; after peeling one layer after another, you

finally reach the core and find nothing. Decades of life in the

material world caused our mind to have layers just like an onion.

When one reaches the core, one reaches the higher self, euphoria is

achieved, a different cognitive pathway opens up. When you reach

your true self, you become an infant again.

 

A great mystic once said that people are never happy. We live in

different degrees of sadness. When one moves from a greater degree

of sadness to a lesser degree of sadness, the change is perceived at

happiness. But we are still within the perimeters of sadness.

 

I feel that the mind is just doing its job having thoughts. Its

purpose is to protect us from harm. Unfortunately it runs contrary

to our spiritual endeavours. Meditation is a way to train the mind

to have an alternative cognitive pathway where you expand your

consciousness and be at peace with yourself and the universe.
