"So the only way to reach to truth is to learn how to be immediate in your vision, how to drop the help of the mind."~ Osho Card of Projection
In this case the mind isn't helping. It is clouding, telling stories, and making the immediate truth harder to understand. It's the the word "help" that is in bold when I read the sentence. Hmmmm... I base a lot of what I see, say and do based on weather I think I'm helping. Whether I'm actually helping..... well, that is a different thing. I act based on whether "I THINK I'm HELPING". Hmmmm... I see the flaw sitting with you the audience, the computer as my scribe. But as in Julia's character on "Parenthood", I can't stop myself from being helpful. And I bite my nails while watching her. Back up, give the girl some space, let it breathe. But she spins and spins, until she acts.... in the most helpful way she knows how.
Oh my sweet.....the road to hell is paved with helPing intentions. Just be mindful. Be mindful when you can't bear to NOT be helpful, and try it anyways. Try holding your tongue in line, or when eavesdropping even though you hold the nugget they're looking for, or when you notice a typo on a website. Not everyone is looking for your "help", opinion, insight. How strange...? And then again, how human. How often do you take kindly to people butting in telling you, you're doing something a little wrong. Huh.... This experiment isn't for everyone, just..... the helpers.
Psst..... who would you be if you weren't a helper. That's the real question, and the one you are too busy helping to uncover. (I love you now and always. Whether you help or not, whether you can stop helping or not. This is just a get to know yourself time/ type of experiment. All my love, whatever you find, and who ever you are now and later. It's a win win type of a test. ; ) ).
