Zero
ZERO
"The people that look outside the body---dream
The people that look inside-----awake
MEMORIES plague all humans
Reaching a state of ZERO is the only path to peace.
As long as a memory plagues a person, they will forever be in a fight.
New babies DREAM---how? Memories are handed down from the parents and past generations; clear back to the beginning.
CLEARING the subconscious mind of past memories ended down from ancient times--leads to a state of ZERO or beginning---like REBOOTING a computer, only you are REBOOTING your family tree." -- MH
Re: A State of ZERO
Science is too focused on the object, and so-called religions are too focused on the subject. But yoga says, "There is no need to become lopsided. Remember the world is there, and also remember that you are." Let your remembrance be total and whole, of the object and the subject both. When your mind is infused with your consciousness, and also infused with the objective world, there happens apprehension.
Patanjali says,
WHEN THE MIND IS COLORED BY THE KNOWER AND THE KNOWN, IT IS ALL-APPREHENDING.
Mind can know all that can be known. It can know everything that can be known. Then nothing is hidden from that mind. A religious mind - let us call him an introvert - by and by, knows only his subjectivity and starts saying that the world is illusion, maya, a dream, made of the same stuff as dreams are. A scientist who is too focused on objects starts believing in the objective world and says that only the material exists; consciousness is just poetry, a talk of the dreamers: good, romantic, but not real.
The scientist, as an extrovert, says that consciousness is illusory; the introvert says that the world is illusory.
But yoga is the supreme science. Patanjali says, "Both are real."
Reality has two sides to it: the outside and the inside. And remember, how can the inside happen, how can it exist without an outside? Can you conceive that only the inside exists and the outside is illusory? If the outside is illusory, the inside will become illusory automatically. If the inside of your house is real, and the outside of the house is unreal, where will you demarcate? Where does the reality stop and illusion start? And how can an outside which is illusory have a real inside? An unreal body will have an unreal mind; an unreal mind will have an unreal consciousness. A real consciousness needs a real mind; a real mind needs a real body; a real body needs a real world.
Yoga does not deny anything. Yoga is absolutely pragmatic, empirical. It is more scientific than science, and more religious than religions, because it makes the greater synthesis of the inner and the outer.
