and how did it all start and why did that happen and how is it that human
consciousness has become so dysfunctional and if you look at human
history and different centuries you can see it almost it looks as if it were
becoming in the 19th century everybody believed in progress it's getting better
better all the time they said they also believed that science had well walls or
had already almost solved all problems that we could possibly ask and then the
20th century came and then they realized how little they knew and they realized
how dysfunctional the collective human mind is the destructiveness that was
unleashed upon humanity via humans on other humans on a vast scale through the
madness of political movements and ideologies and unbelievable suffering
caused by humans to other humans and see if you look at that and if that is not
dysfunctional what is and it's been this has been the worst century of all the
20th in terms of suffering and people killed and this is a very young century
we are in now a very young millennium and already when you watch TV it's a
continuation of the 20th century and if nothing changes in human consciousness
will have another 20th century except it'll get worse because science and
technology continuously increase the effects of human madness the tools
created by through intelligence yes its requires great intelligence to
manufacture these things and very often intelligence in the
service of madness so there is at there is that basic dysfunction in the human
mind and it is so deep it's becoming so obvious now that very unlikely that
human the planet would even survive another hundred years of this same
dysfunction how could it become so destructive why is it how did it all
start and is there a way beyond that I am saying there is a way beyond a new
state of consciousness is already arising but this must not be made into
some new belief it's seeing that a new state of consciousness is already
arising within you while the old state of consciousness perhaps or probably
also is still operating within you so the old state of consciousness to call
it this is that if dysfunctional state is continuing this is what you hear when
you watch the news on television it reports about human madness but at the
same time the new is arising we can only hope that it is arising in sufficiently
large numbers of people and quickly enough before the old consciousness self
destructs so we need also to look at the essence of the dysfunction because if if
it is a dysfunction in the human mind it must operate in each human being and it
must should be possible to locate it in oneself rather than saying the evil is
all out there it's not evil it's simply a form of unconsciousness and what is
that unconsciousness at some point in the evolution of humanity there was the
beginning of thought an incredible evolutionary leap the ability to
conceptualize to think to formulate mental symbols arose this is probably
what the book of Genesis refers to when it speaks of the first humans who ate of
the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil
suddenly the mind was able to differentiate this is bad
the knowledge of good and evil the knowledge of good and bad generating
ethical shakespeare wrote in one of his plays
nothing is either good or bad but thinking makes it so the arising of
thought was an enormous thing and we cannot say that it was bad it happened
because it had to happen whatever happens has to happen there is
nothing that happens that is not brought about by the totality everything is into
a web of interconnectedness so whatever happens cannot be otherwise this is what
humans most humans don't know because they're against what happens this now
this shouldn't be but it is sort arose and that sudden very quickly humans
became the dominant species before the enormous power of thought and over a
long period of time thought began to operate more and more and then gradually
human sense of identity of self of who I am became bound up with the movement of
thought an image developed in the mind of me humans began to have a
relationship with themselves nothing saw on the planet before ever had a
relationship with itself nor do that to this day the tree doesn't have a
relationship with itself the cat doesn't have a relationship with itself it is
itself and the cat doesn't have a relationship with
itself its life is compared to human life not without challenges but
unproblematic it doesn't carry the happiness of a problematic sense of self
derived from continuous thought activity
and so a cat doesn't need therapy
because it hasn't split itself into two me and myself because now life is
becoming very complex so humans began to walk around with a self-image a
self-concept it took a long time to develop
whereas before life had been so unproblematic and easy they were it just
a human life was one of many ways in which the totality expressed itself as
it still does in nature and then that was one could call that the original
innocence in humans the original innocence that is still there in nature
this is why it's so beautiful to go into nature so beautiful to even watch an
animal even if it kills another animal it's still innocent and so the humans
lost the original innocence that is there when you when you are yourself and
then a phantom self arose that walked with them wherever they went and its
main location is in the head one could say as me and so life became
increasingly problematic because they lost that rootedness in being that a
tree has a flower has an animal has
without knowing it it has it without knowing it it knows itself to be one
with the one so it doesn't live in that neurotic
state of continuous anxiety and tension
just so it an amazing event on this planet this arising of self a mind made
self and so gradually that sense of being rooted in being being one with the
one life I don't want to use words like God
they've been misused for too long being rooted in being one with that and then
gradually they lost that this he became disconnected or still we're connected
but didn't know it anymore so it's as if they were disconnected from life so they
became little entities that felt separate from the totality they had
taken themselves out of the the web said then they say me they say I and when
they say I they refer to a conceptualized sense of self in the head
they refer to their name which is only a thought form a thought or sequence of
sounds John Smith I who are you John Smith that sounds convincing
but is nothing means completely meaningless it means nothing so you have
the illusion that already you know who you are so and then John Smith is going
to tell you if you asked further well who are you
beyond that he says well I am a father of two and an accountant and graduate of
that university and and he may have some longer story to tell
divorced twice and and so he will give you a little story which is the story of
the self and there are other aspects to that self which are not always on the
surface they are certain reactive patterns in the self there are ways in
which that self interprets the universe because it's been conditioned by its
culture in its environment in certain ways it is the content of the mind it is
the emotions that accompany those mind movements so two together the content
the conditioned content of the mind because everybody's gets conditioned by
their surrounding culture the world personal level collective world the
country you live in the culture you living the time you live in the language
is itself a strong form of conditioning your first language the way it is spoken
what it contains it's already a worldview one could say it's already
embodied in the language so at an early age all that happens and gradually it's
the child the first after the child artists his or her name when he's our
she is asked what is your name Tom Smith then that is the easily now other things
will cling to that first concept of self memories experiences knowledge things
said the sense of self gathers around itself to make itself more complete and
for the rest of his life John Smith is going to look for
things to absorb into his sense of self to add to his sense of self because his
sense of self is not sufficient yet has not completed itself yet he doesn't feel
that he's really fully himself yet there is a sense an underlying the sense of
lack of not enough of insufficiency of needs some more something more this
isn't it and this is built into very structure of this mind made sense of
self its discontent lack fear it's always there somewhere because
ultimately it is only a mental formation it conceptualized me in the head and as
such it can never feel complete so it's condemned to seeking to add more to me
in whatever form hence the need the enormous psychological need for future
because it's through future that I can find the more that will complete me that
will make my self complete and that's a deep-seated collective mind pattern
associated with the self the the sense of self that is conceptualized of course
the moment you live in and through a conceptualized sense of self this is the
fate of all humans they have to go through that the moment that arises your
entire reality the world with which you interact becomes a conceptualized
reality in other words you see it through the filter of the conditioning
of the conceptualized me the sense of self so whatever you look upon interact
with is immediately according to its come
auditioning the conditioned self interpreted judged labeled according to
the conditioning so that is what humans have in common the will mentor what
nation what culture they belong to order in the more advanced countries the
dysfunction is also more advanced that's all but they all have the same
dysfunction the way in which things are being labeled varies enormous ly if you
were from a different culture Arabic culture and you walked around Stockholm
you would label things in a different way
the things that you call good and bad would be different and when you go there
what you call good and parrot there would be different from what the locals
call good and bad very different and but of course each person is so identified
with the mind made self and it's mental positions and labels it's almost
impossible to step out of identification identification means deriving your sense
of self from the mental positions and see that other mental positions are just
different mental positions to see that one's own conditioning and mental
position is no more than that and does not contain the truth it is an aspect at
best an aspect of the truth and aspect of the totality in other words all
thought or mental positions are fragments fragmentary relatively true
perhaps they cannot contain the totality so humans don't know this their total
identification with mind movement with a mind create itself and so then they're
the others which are have their form of conditioning are totally identified with
that and they need each other to enhance they're always in sufficient sense of
self so this is why humans love to have enemies and make enemies especially
groups but or even individuals do it unconsciously of course the groups that
have their group ID which is a conceptualized story which
they're telling themselves including patterns of reaction and behavior and
thinking these groups have a strong need to have other groups that are their
enemies because through fighting and being in opposition to others they
strengthen their it illusory sense of self so the boundary around me the more
enemies I have the stronger this boundary which is mind created around me
becomes and the stronger the sense of separateness which is the boundary the
stronger the illusion of self of me whether that self is a predominantly
personal sense of self or whether itself is a predominantly collective sense of
self which is our tribe our religion our nation our group doesn't matter it's the
same principle is at work it is a conceptualized identity and the
conceptualized identity is looking
looking for problems in conflict because it needs that too so that this mental
structure can define itself me not me me ends here and there's the rest of the
world and some of the rest of the world I can actually use to make me a little
bit bigger so I'm reaching out looking for things new things to add to the
content of my mind to identify ways to make the self more complete so
everybody's looking out for self completion to add more to me because I
end here and then other things in the world the
not me world are threatening because there are many things out in this world
that might take away things from me so I'm they attained the world is also a
dangerous place into a promising place at the same time I fear the world and I
desire I want amazing state of consciousness so whether on a collective
or the personal is this great need to complete me through adding more content
mental because even if you want to acquire more possessions in order to
feel a little bit more secure in who you are in order to feel a little bit bigger
because you know you have a big car and a big house and so your sense of self
can expand into the car
not really the car but at the thought form of car it's the car itself is quite
meaningless because it's metal and it will in a few years it'll be reduced to
rust so it's not the car but it is the thought form of car if it's a big one
the thought form of car but the self you identity I identify with the thought
form so that is then added to the collection of thought forms that is me
and for a little while the me fields just grown I'm getting
somewhere because I've added that to me and then it won't be long before the
thought form no longer really fulfills its purpose of completing me and again
it's not quite in half this car and then comes maybe the house and again for a
while it feels the house is the house it's not the fact that you own
the house the whole idea of ownership is a fiction it's to do with a
fictionalized fictitious sense of self what does it mean I own this as you're
telling yourself a story in your head about this house and that story says it
is me I own this house it is mine it means nothing if you were insane and you
said I own half the city of Stockholm and if you were insane you could go
around to the city telling this to people and say okay you better go for
treatment you're insane because nobody agrees with
you if you say I own this huge building and
nobody agrees with you then you're insane if you say I own this building
and everybody else agrees with you and they sign a paper to confirm that they
agree with you and you own it in either case it's a story the only difference is
it's a story that nobody agrees with in which case you're insane or it's a story
with which everybody agrees and you're wealthy but it's a it's a story it's
part of this so ownership is part of the story of me and of course it loves that
it lasts your own and then that's of course you can no matter how much you
add on that level of thought forms the thought form of ownership it don't ever
really be enough so then you have to go on to other things to add more to
complete me other people's opinion of me this is a little bit less tangible than
than heavy material things so that becomes an important thought form if
other people think that you are great you are very important you and then the
the conceptualized self is always looking out for you to get that
recognition thank you you're so great oh oh oh it might say oh
no I'm not really great but it sees how it feels so good and then perhaps the
entire world you might even some people amass great wealth on that level the
wealth of thought forms that you are very important you might become
important in the eyes of the world and so that then the self certainly feels
expanded they might even build they don't do that so much anymore these days
a big monument of me before you died and then that softens you surely I must have
made it now but now you wake up in the middle of the night with the state of
fear and it's not it and you might even at that point look through the delusion
and see what the world is built up around you is a fiction what the
newspapers are saying about you and the glossy pictures about you in case you
are if they say a famous actor or actress and then you suddenly see this
is just a big always like us there's nothing real here they're talking about
some illusory entity they've created this illusory entity which is nothing to
do with me and so at that point perhaps you step beyond when you so much has
been added to you and it hasn't you haven't arrived at that sense of having
made it and then at that point you might begin to go beyond that and this is
usually the point where the spiritual life begins for people it's the
realization that I cannot complete me on that level I've tried and ok so
everybody in a way has tried and failed on that level before the spiritual
dimension Oh up or before the spiritual search begins
you must have failed somehow of course everybody fails except they delude
themselves that it can still work out on the level of story on the level of the
conceptualized
