I woke up this morning with a weird feeling. I actually miss being in a relationship with someone. Funny thing is I don't miss the corny part but the part where we both attempt to unravel knowledge.
I remember one time my ex; a student of psychology and human behavior told me some shit about how the mind if trained, is capable of stretching for a long period. I then told her the mind can also be shutdown for as long as an individual wants, same way you put off your phone.
She disagreed while pointing out that if this were possible, it should occur when one is asleep, but seeing as the brain is never put off, the mind can't be put off. This is true, I said and this is also why it is not imbedded in humans. It is acquired through practice.
She got curious and told me to explain further. I said there is always an empty window between different thoughts. This window occurs when you think about this conversation and you try to remember something to counter my point. That point when your mind shifts, there's a window.
A window where you aren't thinking of nothing at all... Although you might not notice but after this conversation, you should start paying attention. That point, you feel like its a pause and your mind stops working. There's no thought, no travelling, just a pause.
Now imagine you training your mind to open that window whenever you want it to. An experience where you think of nothing, nobody, no where. This point, you experience silence, peace, tranquility, emptiness of emptiness itself. This is when your mind isn't working.
She then asked if this isn't what Hinduism or The Buddhist call Nirvana. Or what you get when you practice intellectual Yoga. Me I said I don't know oo, all I sha know is the shit is real and when you can do that shit at will, you are at peace and you see things clearly.
She said she'd try it, then I pointed out to her that the mind is the most cunning part of your body and it may fool you into thinking about thinking of nothing, that is, you start thinking about opening the window and when this occurs that's the mind still working.
She asked me how to do it ( The hell if I know), I told her if I knew how to, I wont't be there telling her about it. I actually plan on learning that shit soon though. But it's not an exercise you embark on if you aren't mentally strong and mental strength is a gradual thing.
On a real though, if you feel you are strong enough, embark on that journey to open that window in your mind and find peace within yourself. See the world as a BEING and not a HUMAN BEING.
And I guess there are books that can help with it. She eventually told me about it and she's hoping to propound a theory on that. God Speed for her. Yeah so my next babe, wherever you are, make sure you're learning enough because me i want to learn from you oo.
