Somewhere between thought that I cannot let go of and enlightenment, yet when I feel my foot in the door it is slammed shut and I pummel deep into the fiery chasm from whence I came.

I have this horrible habit of over-analyzing things (like most of society). I've come to the agreement that I'm indeed afraid to let go of thought, as if I'm losing something when I do. Even though I realize that all I'm losing is the restraint the thought presents itself with such great influence that it's almost impossible to avoid. And again, I'm thrown into the vast universe of the mind.

That song by Jim Morrison, The Universal Mind. Would thought be what he was trying to capture with that song? You can see, now as can I when I fall back into thought.

Here's the website: http://www.theosophical.org/theosoph...son/index.html

P.S. Surely you still have difficulties remaining enlightened. I have friends who think they've reached this stage of enlightenment, yet when I'm around them they fall back into the realms of thought. Upon arrival they persecute me for having sent them there. What gives, man?

edit: i changed my mind, go ahead and rip on him :)

editx2: oh mercy, y'all need to get over yourselves

wonderbear - - button that lip and try to downsize all these one-sentence nonsense posts into one larger one, eh? There is such a thing as multiple quotes in one post. Learn it . . . 'cuz you're pissin' me off a tad.

I mentioned Morrison b/c Ganj originally asked for someone who led via "a revelation of the mind." And the last time I checked, Jim was the frontman for a society that was in need of a fresh way of thinking, and a way to let loose and explore their own minds.

Ganj - - I think you might find a few whom you have connected with that might not share your same feeling, but do not be discouraged. I think it also might be a subconscious void that you spoke of, so in that sense, try some meditation followed by some soul searching.

You say you have no faith in yourself, yet you seem to be very good at identifying your problem, which will help in finding your answer. At least you know what you're looking for. Some wander for years and come up short in the end. I feel you are on the right path. You indeed do have a faith. I sense a hidden faith in you - - that what you believe is good and pure and love will flourish in the end. I would say that you are indeed very well along the road to enlightenment, but do not get discouraged - - the faith will come. Now you have to see it, whenever that may be.

I'm having some difficulty trying to word how "two souls might or might not be connected," and I'm sure it's because I'm very tired at this point. I'll get back to you after a refreshing night's sleep. Until then, take care. ~

just dont do abbie hoffman. that guy was a paranoid psychotic with delusions of grandeur. where the fuck is your revolution abbie hoffman? or did you only know how to say fuck every 6 words??????

Just as an afterthought...you don't have to be VERY educated to read up on the major and more general influences of Martin Luther King........just research up on him a little bit and you will get his main points rather easily! Of course smoke a blunt first! :)

Still remains my feelings of indifference toward thought. I perceived enlightenment to be a liberation of some kind. Yet, I'm still plagued by background noise. It's constant and I can accept it, but I don't know how to address this noise. I do not want to fall back to the stream of thoughts that consumed me before. And I do not want to ignore them reason being my thoughts are what has brought me to my senses. I'm cowardly when inquiries storm my mind. Avoidant almost. But I feel by avoiding them that I'm essentially avoiding myself. I'm stirred right now. Slap a sticker on my that says, "Don't drop. Fragile."

How easily I'm sidetracked! Thank you all for your suggestions.
