Mind/Spirit is the more refined, less dense, high frequency Consciousness aspect of the Human Being, although defining this in a tangible way that is meaningful and satisfying is difficult.
Definitions of material items and concepts are less problematic, as One can associate and correlate these descriptions through both the Physical and Emotional senses.
Definitions involving areas and functions of Consciousness are tricky, since most have yet to develop the level of Awareness and internal sensory infrastructure to be able to recognise what is being referred to in these descriptions, but attempts will be made nonetheless.
Mind/Spirit is made up of,
- Soul Consciousness.
- Universal/Creation Consciousness.
- Source/Singularity/Consciousness.
Transitions through the gateways of these states of Consciousness are met with a very strong sensation, with others having previously referred to this sensation as “Bliss”. Bliss is an ecstasy surge that is so potent it reaches the point of being uncomfortable, which may seem an odd thing to state. A crude similarity can be made with being tickled, which in itself is not painful, but it can be uncomfortable.
These ecstasy surges are experienced as Awareness transitions into each of the three Consciousness states of Mind/Spirit, although there is a relatively mild teaser of this within the Heart Centre.
Blissful Ignorance
Ignorance is not Bliss.
Ignorance creates a
shallow Illusion of Bliss.
Be assured, that all Illusion,
along with the Ignorance,
will eventually be shattered.
So, the real challenge comes,
in finding the Strength and Courage
to Rise from the Ruin.
Gateway To The True Individual
I will give my Life for you.
Osho
But I will not live my Life for you.
Those that make it to this point must have a strong sense of Individuality. Hive or herd identity is a state that is more associated with the Human Psycho-Biological Organism, as there is no real sense of Self within that space.
Sparks of Individuality can exist in the shallower expressions, which may lead to deeper discoveries, but for the most part, it takes an intense and sustained Inner upheaval to provide the necessary catalyst for truly deep exploration.
It is also important to remember that Singularity is “One and Only One”. A fractured identity needs to be resolved if One is to come even close to this state of Being and a hive or herd identity, in a Human Being, is a fractured identity.
Another aspect that should be noted is that those that lust to rule the herd and those attention seekers within the herd, possess some of the most elevated levels of herd identity of all. Even though, they may present themselves as the strongest, or the smartest, or the most capable.
What they are actually hiding is the fact that they themselves are so insecure in their own Self, they are so insecure about their own Individuality, that they desperately need the reassurance of the herd and they desperately need to control the herd to pander to those insecurities. This level of desperation requires the comfort and obedience of the herd at all times.
These rulers and attention seekers are some of the most insecure and neurotic Individuals of the herd. This then is what makes them some of the most dangerous as well, given that they may go to great lengths to maintain their elevated status within the herd.
A strong Individual requires none of this attention.
A strong Individual is comfortable within themself, regardless of how the herd thinks or feels about them.
A strong Individual does not need approval from the herd to validate their existence.
A strong Individual wishes no harm or ill will toward the herd or any individual member of the herd.
A strong Individual will go about their life, learning and adapting as best they can to the situations that Life creates for them, with little fuss or fanfare.
A strong Individual is not an isolationist! Although they have no issue functioning on their own, if required.
A strong Individual Understands that to live an efficient and prosperous life requires the co-operation of others, preferably other strong Individuals, but any Individual that is prepared to engage in a willing and co-operative exchange is a benefit to all parties.
A strong Individual does their best to not be a burden on others.
A society of strong Individuals engaging freely, respectfully and peacefully, is the base foundation of a strong and solid society.
A society of weak and feeble sheep, destroys itself in only a few short generations.
This is because pandering to the whims of a relatively small number of insanely insecure, neurotic, status seekers is a tremendous drain and burden on the rest. Additionally, with the other herd members lacking the fortitude to say NO! to these insatiable lunatics, destruction is the only possible outcome.
However, being a black sheep is not the same as being an Individual either. Engaging in activities and holding opinions that are always counter to that of the herd, is still being controlled by the herd. No matter what the herd thinks or does, the black sheep will think and do the opposite. So it really is just a sheep in denial.
Herd identity is also more commonly known as, “The Ego”.
Feelings of Powerlessness stem from the ego, because ego is what desires to control and manipulate all it can. Mainly as a way to avoid exploring, engaging and resolving fears and insecurities.
But a truly Powerful Individual, does not feel the need to unduly control or manipulate anything.
Because a truly Powerful Individual, is strong enough to be what they need to be and do what they need to do.
Thus, from that, they let the cards fall where they may.
Ego is a compensation mechanism,
which attempts to accommodatefor a fragile psyche.

Bring Awareness to the Inner Conflict…,
Face and Allow the Intensity…,
A Resolution Will Come.
