Into The Basement

Filed under: Teachings — roshihogan @ 12:02 am

There are many levels of the mind. Some are reached only by meditation. We may think we are on the ground floor, but there is a basement, maybe many basements. Meditation is the light that shines in the corners of these basements and lets us see what is hidden away. Maybe something with many cobwebs and dust that we did not know we had or forgot about. Forgetting about original mind is common. Original mind sees what is, nothing else. Original mind gets contaminated by many things, and sometimes we put it in the basement and sadly forget all about it. Meditation helps us remember by taking us down those dark steps and into the basement.
