Hello friends,

 

Whatever we do now is controlled between three swords hanging over it - they are

what our ego wants us to do , what our mind tells us to do and what our nerves

will let us do. These three make a crowd and get in the way all the time - your

mind talks all the time, mostly negative talk which makes you frustrated, your

ego wants to kill the thing while your nerves keep doubting whether you could

even try such a murder.

 

When you take action then it reflects the results of the mixed signals this

crowd has been feeding you.

 

When we fail sometimes, then we lose balance on all these three levels , the ego

is then always fighting to regain control, the mind is trying to remember and

bring back the previous lessons of past life and the nerves steadily sink u into

self doubt and self criticism.

 

How do we overcome this crowd and get off this rollercoaster ? We need to get

out of our own way. To truly get out of your own way, We must master non-doing.

The control is a sense of having controlled.

 

What gets done in the moment, ................moment to moment to moment, is

quite irrespective of the hoopla of the ego-mind-nerves.

Doing continues, ...............quite irrespective of the presence or absence of

Hi Masti --

 

What part or who is going to 'master nondoing?'

It seems the choices are:

ego

mind

nervous system.

 

Or is there a separate you somewhere else in that skinbag that will

master nondoing?

 

And, Do you see the irony of mastering nondoing? It's impossible.

Every movement Masti makes to master this is -- doing!

 

Oops.

 

:-)

Funny, Joe!

 

This reminds me of an old game-show on U.S. television:

" To Tell the Truth. "

 

--- Will the real master of nondoing please stand up?

 

(Or not.)

Hello there,

 

> How do we overcome this crowd and get off this rollercoaster ? We

need to get out of our own way. To truly get out of your own way, We

must master non-doing.

 

 

Non-doing is not non-DOing.

 

We cannot BUT DO.

 

What is non-doing?

 

Non-doing is not being dragged around by reactionary thoughts and

mentation, not letting the mind dwell on anything at all, so that all

is completely transparent.

 

If the mind is transparent *wisdom* follows, wisdom in behaviour and

choices.

 

We must not stop or try to stop DOing but stop the mind dwelling or

sticking and reacting to events and circumstances. This non-dwelling

includes non-dwelling on the past present and future.

 

In 'normal' people a puppet like body gets pushed and pulled to and

from events, likes and dislikes, action and reaction, most are not

aware of the effects of their thoughts upon their life.

 

Like and dislike, hate and love are caused by a thinking ME,

that pushes and pulls things toward and away from itself.

 

Ideas and thoughts push and pull empty mind / bodies who think of

themselves as being what they are not.

Mind impacts mind and empty bodies move in the mind of 'God'.

 

A body never moves itself, thought drags it around like a puppeteer.

Consider the consequence of everyday thoughts and the reactions to

others, concepts and thoughts and so on.

 

No-DOing is completely transparent non-dwelling and non-sticking to

thoughts, events and happenings, that sees clearly through

reactionary thought and thought habits.

 

Kind Regards,

 

Scott.

Dear Scott, Anders {:-)}, Jose, Dan,

 

Thanks guys for your comments and I still maintain (despite Anders interesting

mail) I learn a lot from just reading you guys for some days before i actually

messaged myself.. Would definitely like to talk on the subjects you are speaking

about and hope to make some value addition . here is what i want to add to the

subject line I started and hope you guys think it makes sense......

 

Non-doing happens when you put your trust in a higher intelligence than your

individual mind, a higher will than your individual will and a higher power than

your individual power.

 

Non doing is the opposite of Efforting. If you approach a difficult problem

without struggle , ego emotions and nerves will try to undo you as everything

you do is caught between what your ego wants you to do, what your mind tells you

to do and what your nerves will let you do. These powerful forces made stronger

by years of holding sway over you will inevitably try to take over but you have

to resist the urge to resist them .

 

That part is tricky and requires patience so it is all important that you access

an intelligence higher than your own ..this is where faith comes in and you get

out of your own way .

 

When we were younger it was easier to get out of our own way. practicing non

doing now will be innocence regained.

All that is purely real is that which is not thought about.

One way to do that is I believe to observe all that is going on in

one's being as a whole thing, all of it, be it ego, mind or nerves,

whatever, all of it as one happening going on observed as from above

and from within.

I was thinking, maybe non-doing comes with the realization that there

no doing going on at all anyway, that this what we call doing is just

an idea that we are doing this or that, and that this doing in

reality is nothing more than a false idea of being a doer.

The reality, as it feels to me is that Doing cannot stop. Whichever religion we

follow, whatever lives we choose to live - in family (grihasta ashram) or

outside family - karma is one certainity.. whether this karma is preordained by

the world book keeper (God) or we are free to do as we please or we choose this

doing is not clear to me as yet....one thing is sure Doing cannot stop and that

is the reality. what we can do is choose to do it with innocence of a child ..to

do all the good we can, by all the means we can , in all the ways we can , in

all the places we can , at all the times we can , to all the people we can , at

all the times we can and as long as we can...I know thats a lot of heavy stuff

to say and really tough to do ..

Maybe we can skip doing and focus on being. The Doing will perhaps

take care of itself. Maybe pride (and shame/guilt) is the only thing

that creates a 'me' as a separate doer. If we look at pride deep down

we can see that what supports pride is not solid. Pride has a shaky

foundation.

Dear Anders,

 

As a Human " being " , the being comes naturally and doesnt need focus as such.

Its the Doing which makes the " Human " worthwhile. The catch is to not let Pride

(ego) , Guilt (mind), Shame (nerves as in memory of past failures) impact our

doing..again we come back to how to get off the rollercoaster of ego,mind and

nerves..
