Mind the Mind


The emotions should be part of the conscious mind. And they were, until only recently, when they became inaccessible, because they objected to the domination of the destructive, industrial mind, in the 19th Century – and had to be banished from consciousness.

This was a huge loss, and knowledge of this loss – had to be banished from consciousness also.

There have been many attempts to remedy this situation, so far with little effect. Because the Industrial Mindset is still very powerful – and can override any attempts to modify it.

What is this Industrial Mindset? To explain this, we have to understand how we think, and how this thinking has changed. We have to know more about ourselves – and our minds. I quote from the book Freedom and Circumstance:

The result is a world seen in reverse, a magnificent, anti-natural doctrine that cannot be understood without previous initiation, a doctrine for the initiated, a secret wisdom, an esoteric knowledge. Thought has swallowed the world: things have become mere ideas.

The response to this insight, on the part of most people, is simple – they don’t want to know about it! They are well-adapted to the present situation, and they don’t want to change. If this means the world is going to Hell – let it!

And, quite frankly, the world is going to Hell – as has been observed many times. But it is also becoming Networked, and this is something that has to be taken into account.

I am sitting here, in my pajamas, in front of my laptop, with a fast Internet connection (that is not working right now). I can see the world getting better, and getting worse – at the same time!
