The mind, moves and meat.

THE MIND, MOVIES AND MEAT.IMHO.

 

What is the mind?

It is but a bundle of thought vibrations. Other than that it doesn't

exist.

 

How does it become composite then?

It really doesn't, but the impression is given by the attraction of

similar vibrations, like beads on a string. The Ego or `I' sense

being the string.

 

Are all thoughts our own?

Actually no thoughts really belong to us, but we reach out and grab

some and others enter from elsewhere.

 

From Elsewhere?

Yes from sitting next to somebody on a bus or train, or sleeping

next to people. All is One; So thoughts, which are things move

about. Our subtle Auras/Kosas or sheaths are touching and even inter

meshing. Also what we ingest through going to movies or eating

affects us. Violent images stay with us and food is the most

important agent. Meat is especially pernicious, for it contains the

vibrations of the animal mind. Also it contains the last thoughts,

feelings and vibrations of the death process. If this was a violent

death, like in a slaughterhouse or some other place where animals

are killed for food; It is especially so.

These vibrations of fear, resentment, confusion, anger, resentment,

betrayal, violence and hatred, come in the food. So it is not always

germs and viruses we have to worry about, so much, when raising

children but what their minds and bodies are going to be built of.

If children are raised with these negative vibrations, they will

always have either the possibility of acting them out in some way or

frustration.

This is why the world is so violent and non compassionate.

 

So the mind is somewhat like a programmed disc, it plays or uses

what it has. Rubbish in Rubbish out.

 

We arrive at birth with a karmic destiny and karmic tendencies or

samskaras in our subtle `minds'. These can be left latent, uses

somewhat or fed into full blown vasanas or mental actions, resulting

in certain actions. The fact that everything is karmic at one level

doesn't mean we don't have to act on `freewill' illusion or not.

However ingesting vibrations that are complimentary to our own,

build our minds. And they are not always complimentary but they do

tend to build complimentary attraction. So what we see, feel, eat,

hear or touch with ours senses builds our minds. In a world plane

seething with vibrations, programming ourselves in the positive is

obviously important. Even more so for a child. It is all to be able

to rise above it all with one powerful thought of one-pointedness.

However we have to realise all is one, and compassion for all beings

must be developed. This is so the mind can develop in a good way and

lead to Liberation from even itself.

We shoudn't make value-judgments, that discriminate against other

beings, human or not. It is just as wrong to kill any animal as it

is a human animal for example. This happens due to a lack of

discrimination and as a result of Ego. This all comes from the mind

that has been built, by adding to our tendencies, input from

extraneous forces and food…..Tony O'Clery.
