Imagine if you can, a line, an invisible line.
Imagine that this line exists within your mind and it is a horizontal line.
When we function or rise above the line we are awake.
The further above the line we go, the more awake we are.
Below the line we begin to go to sleep, we begin to go unconscious.
The further we go below the line, the more asleep we become.
Although this line is 'really' imaginary, for most of us it is or appears to be very real.
How high on the horizon is your line?
How often are you above/below it?
Do you even know that this line exists?
Do you know what it is like to be above or below the line, the difference, do you know what it feels like to be asleep or awake and the difference between these two states?
In a sense this imaginary line is wherever it is, this is the case for all of us. For some it may be very low, so we are awake a lot of the time and for others the opposite is true.
When you are asleep or unconscious you may find yourself assailed by the dreaded so called unconscious mind. In this condition we can be full of thoughts of past, present and future. Scenario's that are not real can appear to be very real. These imagined scenario's may preoccupy us for most or some of the time.
The body will produce chemicals, hormones etc to comply with whatever we are allowing onto the screen of our body/mind.
Anyway, the thing is, as usual, 'we' come back to a more equalised state of mind when we do our Yogic practice. We become more aware of everything and there is an 'aha' moment of realisation as we begin to climb above the 'imaginary' line once more
All we have to do is remember that it is 'all in the mind' and more importantly than anything else, that 'WE' are in charge of this mind. WE are responsible for what we think about all of the time, whether we care to admit it or not!
If you are not in charge of the things that float in and out of your mind then who is????
GET a GRip Now !!!
