Human life is divided into four dimensions. The body, the mind, the outside world, and the inner world are these. Only the experience of the outside world is a shared one among these; the others are personal. We either achieve our maximum human potential within these four pillars of life, or we remain average. Human life is divided into four dimensions. The body, the mind, the outside world, and the inner world are these.
Each possesses a special set of skills. It is our responsibility to find them. Each person has access to both the mind and the body, which are the means of expression. Through outside knowledge, the intellect can be improved. We must investigate the least understood dimension, the inner realm, in order to enhance it and make it more clear so that it can reflect our genuine potential. Only an individual can do this investigation. The body and intellect are outward-looking. They are unable to immediately contribute to the comprehension of the inner realm. They are equipped to interacting with the outside world, nevertheless. We don’t need to put a lot of work into discovery for this.
The body and intellect are outward-looking. They are unable to immediately contribute to the comprehension of the inner realm.
The aggregate human intelligence already contains a vast amount of knowledge. We can easily access information with the tap of a finger on a hand-held device. We fill the hole in our memory bank with more of our perceptions of the world as information storage transfers from memory to books to an intangible electronic medium, the internet.
As the event that gave rise to the interpretation has passed, the interpretations of the experiences we face are considered “junk information”. All it accomplishes is to increase the internal dialogue between thoughts. Through silence, life communicates with us. There is a pervasive sense of unfinishedness. Hence, there is a variety of searching. Some pursue wealth, while others pursue power. Due to this sense of unfinishedness, even higher reaches are being explored. Silence is the life force. Thoughts do not. We immediately fill any few moments of mental quiet with the hopes, dreams, and aspirations we have. In the end, our waking consciousness is monopolised by the mind. This limits or eliminates the opportunity to focus on the inner world, the missing dimension. As long as we approach this inner dimension through the mind, it will continue to be a mystery and difficult to comprehend. The best way to interact with the outside world is through the intellect.
So how do we communicate with the inner realm?
We may come across a large but dormant place within our being if we set the mind aside and refrain from engaging with it, recalling from memory, or generating new thoughts through interpretations. Thoughts, concepts, or knowledge of the outside world cannot enter this area. This area is neither enigmatic nor cloaked in secrecy. Every concept or idea originates here, where we also experience the ups and downs of life, either painfully or joyfully. In everyone, it is present. We need to activate the awareness switch in order to bring this area into a direct experience. Only as participants in an event are we aware of what is going on in the mind. This awareness, which is a lesser form of awareness, only occurs because we identify with events. It is an unintentional reaction. The mind is a very relative thing because of this constrained awareness. From the recollection of other thoughts, ideas, and experiences, we relate to thoughts, ideas, and experiences. We either enjoy or suffer as a result of them as we either confirm or deny them. We keep going back to our predetermined behaviours and conditionings, like a boomerang that always comes back to the sender.
We keep going back to our predetermined behaviours and conditionings, like a boomerang that always comes back to the sender. Even without our direct involvement, thoughts, ideas, and experiences will still come and depart if we choose to remove our participation. But by doing so, we break the unending cycle that our limited awareness unconsciously runs in. We immediately become aware of our separation from the mind. The mind may take on a different taste as we start to observe it distantly. When no one is consciously trying to recall something from memory, the mind is given more freshness and has a better chance of integrating into the current of the present. Once we start to see the mind at a distance, it might take a new flavour.
New insights that appear on the screen of the mind without the interference of outdated information may come to our attention. They don’t arise from the mind or aren’t based on previous knowledge; instead, they seem to appear out of thin air. That “nowhere” is deeper than the conscious realm of memories and dreams. The inner realm seems like a dead end since the subconscious mind acts as an impassable barrier. The subconscious mind becomes permeable when you become conscious. We drill further into the subconscious the more we practise mindfulness. Each person has the power of awareness. By awareness, a connection is made with the inner world, just like how the senses form a connection between the mind and the outside world.
The subconscious mind becomes permeable when you become conscious. The mind is able to conceptualise space as a continuous object. Its consistency is visible to the eyes. But, the internal space that houses the mind and its thoughts can only be felt when one is aware. The faculty of awareness can be developed using the mind as a practical training instrument until it becomes an experiential reality. We can develop our capacity for awareness without developing a concept, a thinking, or keeping a previous experience in the forefront of our minds. When we unwind and let the mind exist on its own, this occurs.
There is enough accumulated material in the mind’s huge ecosystem to keep it spinning for a very long time. Concentration is needed to concentrate on one concept or thinking in particular. Focusing the mind’s energies is possible through concentration. But, purely focused attention is not enough to increase awareness. There is enough accumulated material in the mind’s huge ecosystem to keep it spinning for a very long time. Relaxation allows for awareness. We often view the rest of the mind via the “pin-hole” of a single concept or thinking. This calls for work. We can use the same effort to examine the mind holistically rather than from the perspective of idea or opinion.
When we see the mind as a unique, self-contained ecosystem, we may feel as though we are in a hostile environment because of the perceived isolation that awareness produces. Being without familiar memories and experiences to draw on and offer support is sure to be uncomfortable at first. In a sense, we are alone in unexplored land. We might sense a peculiar familiarity with the experience of being conscious once the initial shock of the detachment from the mind wears off. “It’s not so horrible after all,” we might say. Awareness is neither retraction or disengagement. On the contrary, we now have more stability.
The waking state feels more authentic than a dream. But much like a dream, our waking world is transient. Thoughts are constantly in ebb and flow. We understand the fundamental space in which the alternate dreaming and waking experiences play out when we start to see the fleeting nature of thinking. We understand the fundamental space in which the alternate dreaming and waking experiences play out when we start to see the fleeting nature of thinking. As our awareness increases, we start to experience the inner world, or fourth dimension. The other three components—the mind, the body, and the outside world—do not vanish during this process. Consciousness eventually dissolves the accumulation of subconscious ideas, memories, and experiences.
Internal “warming” brought on by awareness first floods the conscious mind with previously stored memories and experiences. But as the internal melting progresses, the conscious area of perception opens up and becomes more unrestricted. It halts the self-reinforcing process of adding to the collection of subconscious thoughts, interrupting it along the way. Any new information cannot quickly enter the subconscious mind because consciousness widens and creates a distance between us and the mind. A mental brake is applied through awareness. The less we interpret information, whether it is new or old, taking up space in our conscious minds, the more room we give the subconscious mind to store its stored information.
There won’t be a sharp and immediate change in the mind as a result of practising awareness. Instead, it brings about a subtle alteration. To persevere in exercising awareness, you need to have a lot of patience. It offers two advantages to practise awareness with the mind as the object. One, practising awareness itself becomes stronger and more profound. Second, the old mind slowly fades away. A sustained time of awareness “penance” enables us to think clearly, energetically, and sharply. The mind transforms into a mirror with two sides. The inner world also reflects, whereas the outside world does so on opposite sides. No side is taken by awareness. It connects several facets with the inner realm of the fourth dimension (the mind, the body, and the external world).
The most important dimension is the inner one. The other three components improve as the relationship is reinforced through awareness. Every experience gets richer and we can do more for the world, which eventually gives life meaning and fulfilment. We are not concerned that the entertainment will end when we are in awareness. A strong sense that this is only the beginning arises.
