The Mind Cannot Change the Mind

Q: Bob, what is the nature of your teaching?

Bob: This teaching embraces Advaita Vedanta. It embraces Kashmir Shaivism. It embraces Dzogchen, the highest form of Buddhism. And it embraces the highest form of Christianity too.

It is just that non duality, the one without a second, or as it is said in Christian religion, omniscience, omnipotence and omnipresence. There is nothing other than That. If there is nothing other than That, who is the guru and who is the disciple? It is all That.

We know this in our language. For instance, that is a chair, that is a cup, that is John. Take the words 'chair' 'cup' and 'John' away and what is it? It is all That. There is nothing other than That. I am That. Thou art That. That Is That.

Q: What about the word 'God'? Are you comfortable with that word?

Bob: That all depends on the concept. You see the word 'God' has a lot of different concepts for a lot of different people. With some it is Christ, and with others it is Buddha, and with others it is something else. If God is omniscience, omnipotence and omnipresence, that is all knowing, all being and all presence. I don't like to use that term, 'God’, because the recipient aligns it with their image or a definition. I prefer to call it intelligence energy.

We are told that we are a person, that we are a separate individual or a separate entity. And naturally it is believed from then on. When you are a little child, before the reasoning starts, it is not 'I do this or that’. It is 'Johnny does this' or 'Johnny wants that' (whatever the name may be). Johnny does not see himself as a separate entity. Then after a while it becomes 'I’. The thinking process seemingly forms the individual.

With the registration of everything, everything is just as it is, all the thinking, the seeing, the hearing, the smelling, tasting and touch sensations are registered in the immediacy of this moment. But then as soon as the thought ‘I’ see or 'l' hear or 'l' think comes up, who does it refer to?

You see that ‘I’ in its purity cannot refer to anything. So, added to it with that thinking process is the image you have from your conditioning and from memory. That image is what you believe yourself to be. As soon as you say 'I am John' or 'I am Bob' or whatever your name is, there immediately comes in the associated conditioning 'I am good' or 'I am bad' or 'I am special' or whatever the conditioning is. For example, 'I am happy' or 'I am unhappy' or 'I am a doctor' or 'I am only a worker and I'll never get anywhere in life' whatever your belief or whatever the conditioning is that has happened in your life.

That 'I' thought is the separating factor. The way the mind functions is only in the pairs of opposites.
