#Bigmind home full
Zero turns out full of love, not loving action or romance but big love, the kind of love that only big mind has. Though thankfully we are not left in the darkness when we strip away everything that is unessential to self, or our actions in the world, it turns out that once these illusions are gone we are just left with presence, and presence is not empty, it has the characteristics of emptiness but it is not nothing. You might be thinking that if there is no one at home our moral responsibility slips away like a dress at the end of the night, but strangely if we are not driven by needs and wants, all that is left of any value is to care for those who are still mesmerised by the illusion of self, and to do so with real kindness and compassion, it becomes our duty to do so with elegance and skill, it would be like leaving a baby to weather on the rocks, which is not really enlightened behaviour. However it is the natural limit to the size of the small mind, the ego if you please, the process of thought that directs our important actions and it is the real world where your action get to have an effect. When we ask the question, “Who am I”, it is an attempt to find an even smaller doll, we are not our jobs, relationships, what we do, how we do it, or even the voice and asker of the question, we are not the thought that is, “Who am I”, that is a conscious voice, we hear it, and that is the witness, the core of our perspective, it is a view and nothing more, so even the witness is another doll within another.
For there to be a truly integrated being, we have to bring everything together, from our fingertips to the vastness of big mind, it turns out that life is a Russian doll with dolls within dolls, the little mind that we are aware of thinks that it is the greatest doll, whilst actually being just another doll inside of a giant mind with smaller minds inside it.
What is important is that whilst separate they are all part of a greater whole, so why it is so hard for the mind to admit that it is there is more than one mind, it is not singular and separate but that there more than one part of consciousness, there are smaller minds, the subconscious minds, and there is also a larger mind (or minds). They are certainly linked and entangled events, doing kind things over a long period of time indicate a kind person, and as humans are bad at lying over the long term it works well but is not fool proof, there are excellent liars out there, the best of whom can even lie to themselves, which is quite a trick if not to be admired. However despite our searching there is nothing that is quintessentially self that we can point at, we can identify lots of things that are included in the package of who we are, especially if you think that what you do, your actions define the “who” part. We feel like a whole and integrated being, we have our hands, feet, legs, a heart and head, we know where they are and they all seem to be part of a greater being, separate, yet interconnected and integrated.
