Mind Attacks — Don't Give Up!

Just keep saying, Yes, yes, I'm here for the Truth. Please guide me, Truth, into the heart of what is real. Sometimes people come and they say, we've been following the guidance and listening to your talks, but it seems to make matters worse sometimes, because my mind is going crazy. And it will do. In fact, it is a sign that you are making progress and that you are thinking more deeply, because somehow, whether we like it or not, when you are under a mind attack, you come to see that it is not the friend you think it is. And it doesn't play a fair game. And this is important, I feel, in the step towards true knowledge and true awakening. Because if you trust your mind, then it will tell you many lies and you will believe them, because it is home-grown. It grew up with us, largely, you can say like that. So when people experience this kind of big resistance, some give in and say, Whoa, whoa, whoa! Please, like you are being hit on the head or something, and, Whoa, I don't want another one. Please, OK, I'll cooperate. But for others, they say, No, no, no. We have been told about this, that it would react like that. And it is almost as though you have an enemy within, who is doing everything to sabotage your progress in this direction. And it is not a progress towards making more money and becoming more successful. It is not that type of progress. It is a progression towards your true awakening, towards what is the truth of yourself. And it seems there is something in us that hides from this, that seems to cover, to pull the curtains and say, No, you are not going to see this. And I feel you each know what I am speaking. And that is felt as a strong backlash and resistance. And you know always one thing, it becomes personal. It is as though the attack of the mind is focused, and its success in trying to defeat you, is how much it manages to bring you into the state of personhood. Because when you become a person, you are attackable. When you stay as the Self, which is what you are invited to discover, you are unconquerable. But when you stay as the person, the person has so many idiosyncrasies, and fears, and attachments, and judgements, and insecurities, and feels very vulnerable. And that is what gets attacked. Whose is this vulnerability? You will come to see that the vulnerable one is our imagined Self, it is the imaginary Self. It means that we are living in an idea about who we are, which is not really true. And now you are invited. I say, by grace, I am using this word, some help, some help from life, which is the true life, is guiding you, calling you, inviting you, come, look, come here, look from here, look from here. And something is going, No, no, no, don't look at that. And the one who is telling you, Don't look at that, it feels you know it very well. But he holds you back. He will keep you a prisoner. When someone begins to recognise, Wait, I feel imprisoned by my own inner voice. And I say, It is not your true voice. It is a voice in your head, but it is not your true voice. You have to find the voice in your heart, if you want to say like this. But now you are being guided, and the fruit of that guidance, if received in the heart, produces immediate fruit, and immediate results in the highest way. And as you follow, you see, you are seeing more also about how much the psychological mind, the personalised mind, is not in support of your freedom. And the minute you become awake to this, a new power begins to arise in you. It might feel like a bumpy ride for a while, but it is totally worth it. Everyone who has really won themselves back from this psychological prison, has gone through some turbulence, a kind of turbulence. Because for a while you may feel unsure about things, but there is an underlying trust that something is guiding your way, and holding your hand. So I very, very much encourage those who have started on this journey of Self-discovery, to not give up, keep going. Grace is with you. Grace, a higher power is with you. And it is like opening the curtains. It is like opening the curtains, when you have identified yourself as the curtain. And then the curtain is saying, Please don't open me, you are going to tear me to shreds. But as you open even a little bit, the light begins to come through. And that light illuminates the whole room, the whole world. Don't be disheartened, don't be discouraged. Everything positive is on your side. Don't give up, don't give in, don't bend your knees to the mind. Just keep saying, Yes, yes, I am here for the Truth. Please guide me, Truth, into the heart of what is real. Thank you.
