Inquire towards discontentment, insecurity, greed, and the economy development and growth

The basic essential and inevitable basic economy development and growth in the modern world, to create, support, and maintain the livelihood of all and everyone to achieve sufficiency in basic survival needs, is not the problem at all.

It is the ambitious greedy way of economy development and growth to support and maintain and empower the endless and boundless greedy desires, inspirations, aspirations, ambitions, and visions of the human beings towards achieving and possessing and enjoying 'limitless abundance and boundless pleasurable enjoyments', beyond the 'essential sufficiency in basic needs and supportive elements for everyday living', that is the problem.

The essential sufficiency in basic needs and supportive elements for everyday living in the modern world - Clean and safe food, water, air, and living space (housing/shelter/refuge), freedom of existence/living/movement/thinking/action/speech/expression, mental and emotional independence, internal and external peace and harmony, basic essential education for the development of clarity of thinking and correct understanding, on top of basic and higher education for the development of literacy, language, communication, interest, skill, talent, science, technology, engineering, architecture, sports, and leisure health and fitness activities, safety awareness and life saving skill, medical health awareness, care, service, and treatment, efficient public service and management, welfare management for those who are under certain physical and/or mental difficulty, vulnerability, and disability, basic infrastructure under regular maintenance that support and benefit everyday living and movement or activity, agriculture and vegetation and food produce and distribution, sustainable environmental friendly energy production and distribution, hygiene and sewage and rubbish management, sufficient public spaces and facilities under regular maintenance for physical health and fitness activities, that is essential for the development and maintenance of physical and mental well-being (the presence of clarity of thinking and correct understanding), that is essential for maintaining peace and harmony in the surrounding environment that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

Sufficiency and simplicity and contentment can co-exist in all THAT. The existence and function of all those basic essentials and their regular maintenance is more than enough to be supporting 'the basic essential economy development and maintenance' that provides sufficient income through jobs and businesses, for living in the modern world, that is nothing to do with the greedy ambition of making and accumulating maximum profits/money/wealth as much as possible, as quickly as possible, and as less effort as possible, by exploiting and harming all and everyone and everything and the surrounding environment to the maximum in order to 'keep boosting' the economy growth to the maximum, in order for a small group of people to be 'getting onto' the ship of 'the rich and the upper social class' or 'the super rich and the super upper class', to enjoy 'endless abundance of high-end luxurious lifestyle and status, and boundless pleasurable enjoyments, possessions, and activities'.

None need to generate and accumulate and hoard excessive wealth, to be 'rich', not to say, 'super rich'.

Good and bad or evil, or rightful and wrongful, or superiority and inferiority, regardless of who and what you think you are, mean nothing and make no difference to Kali or Death, not to say, 'the rich and the super rich', or 'the upper social class and the super upper class', or 'the powerful and the most powerful'.

Many minds are being over-powered by the sense of 'insecurity and discontentment' and aversion/rejection towards 'sufficiency' and 'simplicity' and 'contentment', being conditioned and empowered by the world of ignorance and egoism, in order to 'get onto' the ship of 'the rich and the upper social class', and if possible the ship of 'the super rich and the super upper class', that have very limited space due to the limitation of resources to be exploited in order to achieve that type of 'status' and 'lifestyle' and 'enjoyments, possessions, and activities' that are high energy consuming excessively and unnecessarily, that gives rise to all kinds of unnecessary ceaseless ongoing excessive exploitation towards all and everyone and everything and the surrounding environment to the maximum, that is impacting, hurting, and destroying the over-all well-being of the minds (the mental health of the human beings that impacts all and everything), and that is impacting, hurting, and destroying the conducive livable atmosphere, climate, Eco system, environment, condition, and situation under the name/idea/values/propagation of the ambitious greedy economy development and growth that is fed by 'ceaseless investments in ceaseless productivity to produce boundless products/objects/ideas/infrastructures/activities/spaces to cater all kinds of endless greedy desires, that are beyond 'the sufficiency in basic needs for survival and maintaining the over-all physical and mental well-being', that bring along the boundless side-effects/consequences of all THAT.

Under the existence and empowerment of such 'trend' or 'idea, belief, values, aspiration, and practice', there are more and more minds are broken/damaged/hurt/drained/in painful suffering, or there are more and more mentally unwell and disturbed human beings that gives rise to hurtful behavior unto oneself and others and the surrounding environment, on top of there are ceaseless environmental damages (air pollution, water pollution, earth/soil pollution, rubbish pollution, toxic elements pollution, climate imbalanced, Eco system broken and collapsing, frequent extreme weather conditions leads to frequent extreme natural disasters, food production collapsing, famine, diseases, desperation, and so on), deriving from the many non-essential ceaseless and boundless productivity and activities of human beings for stimulating and boosting 'the economy' to the maximum, to cater the endless and boundless greedy desires/aspirations/ambitions beyond the essential basic needs for survival and supportive elements for living in the modern world.

How many minds/human beings growing up were/are being told and influenced by the parents, the elders, the relatives, the teachers, the politicians, the leaders, the 'successful and wealthy rich people', the surrounding everyone, the cultural inputs, the social media inputs, the educational inputs, the spiritual and religious inputs, the national and political inputs, or the commercial and advertisement inputs, about study hard and work hard and play a little, to be making a living and be inspired to be ambitious, and then, work smart and invest smart and play hard, and be motivated to be highly ambitious, with one particular goal, to be achieving 'the superior status' and 'the high-end lifestyle', or 'the luxurious enjoyments, possessions, and activities' of 'the rich and the upper social class', or 'the super rich and the super upper class', that 'provide' them the fleeting sense of 'financial security', of 'abundance' or 'endless abundance', that is built on the ongoing excessive exploitation towards all and everyone and everything to the maximum? Plenty.

After studying and working hard, while play a little and save a little, and manage to achieve a simple and practical 'place/space/shelter/house/apartment' to live in and take shelter/rest, and have sufficient simple nutritional food and clean water and air for life maintenance, to be looking after the general well-being of oneself and those dependent on oneself, the minds are being conditioned/influenced/manipulated/threatened/tempted/bullied/exploited to want more - "You want this. You need this. You deserve this!", in order to 'boost' the economy for some people to get onto the ship of 'the rich and the super rich', or 'the higher social class status', that feeds the high-end luxurious lifestyle, enjoyments, possessions, and activities.

The minds are ceaselessly being influenced/manipulated/threatened/tempted/bullied/exploited to want not only a few, but more and more expansion/extension/stimulation of everything, of ceaseless accumulation and enjoyment of non-essential objects of the senses, decorations, fashions, accessories, and branded designer goods for the body and mind and the living space, expansion of family members, ceaseless physical/mental/emotional/material enjoyments and possessions and experiences of boundless gadgets and toys, social network building and activities, entertainments, all kinds of non-essential conveniences, and engagement in multiple money making investments, such as multiple money schemes and multiple property investments, while being caught up with higher and higher daily/short-term/long-term expenses and debts accumulation and repayment that are truly unnecessary, in order to achieve so called 'abundance' or 'endless abundance', of endless wealth generation/accumulation/hoarding for achieving and supporting a high-end luxury lifestyle with boundless pleasurable enjoyments, possessions, and activities.

This is not about 'hating the rich and the upper class', or 'money and commercialism is evil and untouchable', or 'against advance science and technology', or 'all and everyone should be living under extreme difficult condition of insufficiency in basic needs and poverty', or 'all and everyone should be "uniformed" under one particular idea, belief, values, and practice, under one vision, one big family, one human race, one leadership, one nation, or one organization', or 'equal distribution of wealth or resources', or 'accumulation of good/bad/neutral karma' or 'merits and virtues and sins', under certain political, or national, or spiritual and religious ideas, beliefs, values, visions, inspirations, aspirations, and agendas.

Simplicity and contentment and sufficiency, or renunciation and dispassion, or desirelessness and non-greedy, don't mean living under extreme difficult and poor or hazardous and detrimental condition and situation.

Money transaction and commercialism as well as advance science and technology is neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong, depending on the state of the minds. It can appear to be merely a form of convenient tool that improve quality of living, if the minds are free from ignorance and greed or power greedy and wealth hoarding. It is the presence of ignorance and greed or power greedy and hoarding of wealth in the minds, that make money transaction and commercialism appears to be evil, and the advance science and technology is widely being misused for something harmful and destructive unto all and everyone and everything, directly and indirectly.

Inquire the truth of everything, including all that is here, and be free.

Inquire towards the universal consciousness and the universal prana

The universal consciousness (BRAHMAN) is the silent witness throughout the infinite space, that hosts and pervades all kinds of names and forms (JAGAT), of all kinds of living organisms and non-living objects, and all and everything throughout the infinite space, that gives rise to the conscious awareness in the conscious sentient/non-sentient living organisms to be what they are, upon the state of consciousness and semi-consciousness, and that hosts and reflects all kinds of names and forms/thought current/inputs and outputs processing, that the many different individual perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting minds perceive and project consciously and unconsciously, voluntary and involuntary, throughout the different states of consciousness/semi-consciousness/unconsciousness.

The universal prana, is the selfless indiscriminate power of manifestation/creation (Brahma)/maintenance (Vishnu)/destruction (Shiva) throughout the infinite space, that enables all kinds of names and forms (living organisms and non-living objects and all and everything from the smallest particle to the biggest composition throughout the infinite space) to be manifesting, forming, existing, changing, decaying, disintegrating, decomposing, and ceased existing under the support/influence/impact of the selfless energy and different selfless elements and conditions and activities, as they are, under respective cause and pace, governed by the nature's law of cause and effect.

The names of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva are merely referring to or symbolizing the nature's power of Impermanence a.k.a. the power of manifestation (creation), maintenance, and destruction, that pervades within and without all and everything throughout the infinite space, where all and everything regardless of all kinds of qualities, are all selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self, where all and everything ceaselessly changing in between existence and ceased existence, governed by the nature's law of cause and effect.

These symbolical names and forms are not really 'something' that to be worshiped or prayed to. They are just what they are, the selfless idle and active power that is indiscriminate and intentionless that exists under different forms throughout the infinite space, that enables all kinds of names and forms to be manifesting, forming, existing, while ceaselessly changing/decaying/disintegrating/decomposing/breaking down/transforming, as they are, under respective cause and pace, governed by the indiscriminate nature's law of cause and effect. But, the symbolic appearance under certain names and forms is to remind the minds that all and everything are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self, regardless of who or what the minds think and believe and identify as 'I', and everything that the minds think and believe as 'my' and 'mine'.

Just as Saraswati is the symbol of knowledge or wisdom. Kali is the symbol of death. Ganesha is the symbol of resilience to overcome all kinds of obstacles and difficulties in life and in the process of mind conquest. And there are many other names and forms that represent certain teachings/dhamma/practice of yoga vedanta.

The minds may or may not recite and/or visualize these names and forms repeatedly and regularly to keep reminding themselves towards the universal teachings/dhamma/practice of yoga vedanta, but reciting and visualizing (praying to) these names and forms regularly doesn't change the truth of selflessness, impermanence, limitation, conditional, and non-self, and it doesn't guarantee that the mind will attain direct self realization towards the truth of itself and all kinds of names and forms, under the presence of grasping. Neither by not knowing all these names and forms, and not reciting or visualizing (praying to) these names and forms at all, will hinder the mind from attaining direct self realization towards the truth of itself and all and everything that it perceives through the senses via the organs of the senses, that are all being reflected in the selfless restless modification of the mind upon the all pervading selfless universal consciousness that doesn't belong to the mind, or any mind, or anyone, or anything.

However, under the continuous chanting/reciting/visualizing certain names and forms that symbolize the teachings/dhamma/practice (or anything, as all are the dhamma/guru/teacher/symbol of selflessness/impermanence/limitation/conditional/non-self), genuinely and regularly, may eventually lead the mind towards one-pointedness, non-wavering, focus, calm, and quiet to have the clarity of thinking that gives rise to the correct understanding. It is merely a tool for rendering the modification of the mind to be free from the veil of ignorance, under the path of devotion (Bhakti Yoga).

The selfless universal consciousness is the indiscriminate actionless silent witness throughout the infinite space, that hosts and pervades all kinds of selfless impermanent limited conditional and non-self names and forms throughout the infinite space, and the prana is the indiscriminate idle force/power (absence of cause for manifestation/maintenance/destruction/transformation) and active force/power (presence of cause for manifestation/maintenance/destruction/transformation) that exists throughout the infinite space, and that enables the selfless impermanent limited conditional and non-self manifestation/formation/coming into existence/maintenance of existence/decay/disintegration/decomposition/dissolution/ceased existence/transformation of all kinds of names and forms to be happening as they are, under respective cause and pace, governed by the indiscriminate nature's law of cause and effect, throughout the infinite space.

Both the selfless universal consciousness and the prana a.k.a. the force/power of manifestation (creation)/maintenance/destruction, is always there as they are, throughout the infinite space within and without all kinds of names and forms, as they are, that doesn't appear or disappear, that doesn't increase or decrease, that doesn't depart upon the death/ceased function/disintegration/decomposition/dissolution/ceased existence of the names and forms.

This is the permanent unchanging truth regardless of whether the minds realize/know or don't realize/know towards the truth. It doesn't mean that the minds that realize and know the truth will enter immortality or exit mortality, or the minds that don't realize and don't know the truth will not enter immortality or exit mortality. There is not any permanent independent infinite immortal self existence of an individual consciousness/soul/spirit/identity existing in any names and forms (living organisms or non-living objects) to be entering immortality or exiting mortality, and vice versa.

Just as the indiscriminate selfless universal consciousness doesn't change, that doesn't appear and disappear, that doesn't increase or decrease, but the manifestation of conscious awareness in the conscious living organisms deriving from the selfless universal consciousness can be presence or absence, it is the same as the indiscriminate prana being the power of manifestation/maintenance/destruction itself doesn't change, that doesn't appear or disappear, that doesn't increase or decrease, as it exists and pervades throughout the infinite space, but the idle and active power that is manifesting and momentarily existing under many different forms in all kinds of names and forms, can be increasing or decreasing, that can be strong or weak, that can be constructive or destructive, that is transformative from one form to another form.

Life manifestation/formation, existence, growth, ceaseless maintenance of existence (hunger and thirst and exhaustion/energy depletion and replenishment), voluntary and involuntary activity and function of the living organisms, and the creation/formation/construction/production/invention/innovation, existence, maintenance of existence, involuntary activity and function of the non-living objects, as well as the decaying process, the disintegrating process, the decomposing process, or the destruction/breaking down/dissolution process of both the living organisms and the non-living objects, are all happening and possible, under the presence/influence/support/impact of the prana, or the intentionless indiscriminate power of manifestation/creation/existence/ceaseless maintenance of existence/decay/disintegration/decomposition/dissolution/breaking down, where the prana exists and manifests under the different forms of idle and active transformational energy/electricity/thunder/lightning/fire/light/heat/temperature/water/air/wind/vibrations/movements/activities/elements/substances/particles/gases/oxygen/hydrogen/carbon-dioxide/minerals/nutrients/electron/neutron/proton/neuron/atom/cell/fuel/oil/fat/protein/glucose/carbohydrate/all kinds of vegetation/gravitation/propulsion/impact/collision/explosion/natural disasters/conducive and detrimental conditions and situations/reproductive activities/thought current/thinking/concentration/action/reaction/possessing/hoarding/grasping/desiring/planning/plotting/and etc.

All these transformational different types of energy/elements/conditions/activities might be present or absent, can be available or non-available, can be increasing or decreasing, under the influence of the existing different conditions, situations, or activities.

It requires energy/effort/activity to create and maintain and destroy anything and everything (living organisms and non-living objects, and all and everything and activities, throughout the infinite space), while the consumption/exertion/execution of all those energy/effort/activity will also generate/transform into some other type of energy under different forms (idle or active).

Even after the death/ceased function of any living organisms and non-living objects, the lifeless and non-functional physical structure of the living organisms and non-living objects is still requiring the presence of energy to be breaking down as well as can be transformed into some other form of energy to be consumed by some other names and forms for manifestation/formation/growth/maintenance/decay/disintegration/decomposition. Such as burning the dead body with fire, where the burning process generates certain amount of energy/heat/light, where the body breaking down into ashes (transformed into particles/minerals/elements that could be forming into some other names and forms), or the dead body could be eaten by some other living organisms that turn into energy for their growth and maintenance.

That's why upon death, the body is lifeless and all kinds of mechanisms/systems/components/organs are non-functional/ceased functioning, including the mechanism of the mind, where the conscious awareness and modification/thought current of the mind is completely absent, but the all pervading selfless universal consciousness and the prana that doesn't belong to any mind, or anyone, or anything, doesn't depart. They are always there and everywhere pervading within and without all kinds of names and forms (regardless of alive or lifeless, functional or non-functional/ceased functioning) throughout the infinite space, as they are.

Analogy - The one same projector screen in any particular cinema (part of the worldly selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self existence and function of name and form that has a limited duration of existence), that hosts and reflects the projection of countless different movies contents created/manifested/made by the countless different individual movies creators/manifesters/makers, where the countless different movies of different contents either can be projected by the one same projector, or by the different projectors, where all these selfless impermanent limited conditional and non-self names and forms require the presence/availability of energy and different elements and conditions and activities, for them to be existing and operating and happening as what they are - A limited space/place/structure called cinema. A limited projector screen. A limited projector. A limited movie. Regardless of the presence or absence of the limited audiences/movie watchers.

The infinite space represents the cinema where everything about a movie screening and watching is happening, although the cinema is impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self (Destructible/Finite), while the infinite space is permanent, unlimited, unconditional, and neither self nor non-self (Indestructible/Infinite).

The all pervading attributeless nameless formless timeless changeless actionless intentionless infinite selfless universal consciousness represents 'the projector screen', although the worldly name and form of a projector screen in the cinema is impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self, that will change, decay, disintegrate, and decompose (breaking down), while the selfless universal consciousness is the infinite permanent independent unlimited unconditional non-manifested attributeless nameless formless projector screen throughout the infinite space, where all kinds of names and forms ceaselessly arising, changing, and passing away upon the selfless universal consciousness throughout the infinite space, under respective cause and pace, governed by the nature's law of cause and effect.

The countless individual perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting minds of the countless different individual living organisms represent the countless different individual movie projectors, that cannot exist or function as what they are, if without the selfless supportive energy and the different elements and conditions.

The countless individual perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting minds of the countless different individual living organisms also represent the audiences/perceivers/movie watchers.

As the different selfless mechanisms of the mind is what enabling the mind to project thought current or to process inputs and outputs (modification of the mind), consciously and unconsciously/voluntarily and involuntarily, as well as that enables the mind to have the function of perception/cognition/intellectual reasoning/emotional response to be perceiving names and forms through the senses via the organs of the senses, and to perform action/speech/expression via the organs of action and speech/expression.

The presence and absence of the selfless impermanent limited conditional and non-self conscious awareness in the minds represents the presence or absence of the limited audiences/movie watchers/perceivers. There are ceaseless conscious and non-conscious or voluntary and involuntary perception of names and forms/thought current/inputs processing and outputs responding happening, regardless of under the presence or absence of conscious awareness in the mind throughout the different states of consciousness/semi-consciousness/unconsciousness.

There is absence of conscious awareness (absence of conscious audiences/movie watchers/perceiver) to be aware of/perceiving the ceaseless perception of names and forms/thought current/inputs processing and outputs responding (the screening of movies) consciously and voluntarily, it doesn't mean that the infinite space (the cinema) doesn't exist or ceased existing, or the the consciousness (the projector screen) doesn't exist or ceased existing, or the restless perception of names and forms/thought current/inputs processing and outputs responding (the screening of movies) doesn't exist or ceased existing, or the mechanisms of the mind (the projector) doesn't exist/function or ceased existing/functioning, where all those activities are continuously happening under the availability and support/influence/impact of the energy and the different supportive elements and conditions, under the absence of conscious awareness (the conscious audiences/movies watchers/perceivers) upon the state of unconsciousness.

Unless the projector ceased functioning, or there is non-availability or absence of energy and different supportive elements and conditions for the projector to be functioning as what it is, or there is not any movie available to be screened (either momentary state of Silence/Stillness/Samadhi/Absence of thought activities, where the mind will resume activities after a momentary duration of silence/stillness/samadhi/absence of though activities, or the complete absorption into the state of Turiya - complete absence/ceased functioning of the modification of the mind, where the body will drop-off or cease functioning/living naturally and completely within a specific limited duration upon the complete absence of physical and mental activities for life maintenance/complete energy depletion - Absence of active energy supply for maintaining existence and function, but there is still the presence of active energy for the disintegration, decompose, dissolution/breaking down, and transformation process).

Even though there is absence/ceased function of the specific projector, the specific movie, and the specific audience (the specific individual mind and its modification), the cinema and the projector screen and the power as well as some other projectors and movies and audiences (the infinite space and the universal consciousness and the prana as well as all the other names and forms that are still existing and changing) are still there, as they are. And even if there is completely absence of any names and forms throughout the infinite space, the infinite space and the universal consciousness and the (idle/inactive) prana are still there as they are.

The countless different individual causes and effects represent the countless different individual voluntary and involuntary or conscious and non-conscious creators/manifesters/makers of the many different contents of the different movies, as they are, in certain away and not in certain way, under respective cause and pace, under the selfless support/influence/impact of the prana, or the indiscriminate idle and active force/power of manifestation/maintenance/destruction that manifests and exists in all forms.

All kinds of selfless impermanent limited conditional and non-self names and forms that manifested, existing, changing, decaying, disintegrating, decomposing, breaking down, or ceased functioning and existing, as they are, throughout the infinite space, under different qualities/matters/substances/elements/particles/conditions/situations/atmospheres, under respective cause and pace, governed by the nature's law of cause and effect, of countless mobile and immobile living organisms and non-living objects, names, forms, sights, shapes, sizes, weights, colours, sounds, smells, tastes, sensations, textures, consistencies, activities, affairs, happenings, energy, electricity, gravitation, thunder/lightning, movements, light, shadow, liquid, water, air, gases, wind, earth, soil, rock, minerals, nutrients, vegetation, moisture, humidity, dryness, temperature, heat and cold, cloud formation, ice and snow formation, universe, galaxies, suns, stars, moons, planets, climates, physical structures, organs, senses, systems, atoms, cells, electrons, neutrons, protons, neurons, energy, voluntary and involuntary/conscious and non-conscious thought currents, cognition, recognition, reason, ideas, thoughts, feelings, emotions, desires and don't desires, memories storage and recollections, wild imaginations, anticipations, inputs and outputs processing, construction of dreams, wishful thinking, day dreaming, building castle in the air, survival instinct, involuntary urges, voluntary intentions, inspirations, aspirations, ambitions, visions, beliefs, justifications, stories making and telling, values, all kinds of impurities and restlessness, countless different states of mind, countless different experiences, interactions, communications, ties and connections, and etc, represent the different contents of the countless different movies.

None and nothing can exist, not to say, to function as what they are, if without the existence/manifestation/transformation of energy, deriving from the all pervading prana, or the indiscriminate power of manifestation/creation/maintenance/destruction, that manifests/exists and transforms under different forms selflessly and indiscriminately, that exists throughout the infinite space, transforming within and without all kinds of names and forms, that enables all kinds of names and forms to be arising (formation), ceaselessly changing, and passing away (disintegration/decomposition/breaking down/transformation), under respective cause and pace.

Such as the petrol, or gas, or electricity needed to be breaking down or transformed in order to power and move the vehicle, while the movements of the vehicle can generates energy/electricity to power itself or something else, to be reserved, or to be consumed, or to be transformed into something else.

Such as food and oxygen needed to be breaking down (destruction) in order to be transformed into energy to fuel the physical body for life maintenance (maintenance) and activities, while those physical activities can create and be transformed into something else (creation).

Such as one needs to consume energy in order to exert energy to do something, or to create something, where that something also has the potential involuntary power to transform something else, or to be transformed into something else, such as one needs energy to make a knife, and the knife can become the intentionless involuntary tool to cut something, being the medium that transforms that something into another form of energy. Upon the ceased function of the knife, the knife can be breaking down and transformed into another form of energy.

The indiscriminate prana a.k.a. the indiscriminate power of manifestation/creation/existence/maintenance of existence/decay/disintegration/decomposition/dissolution/breaking down, represents the transformation of energy manifesting and transforming under countless different forms, that enables the manifestation/creations/existence/ceaseless maintenance/changes/decay/disintegration/decomposition/ceased function/ceased existence of the countless names and forms to be existing and functioning, ceaselessly changing, decaying, disintegrating, decomposing, ceased function, and ceased existing as what they are, under respective cause and pace (the different contents of the different movies), that also enables the countless individual projectors as well as audiences/perceivers/movie watchers to be existing and functioning as what they are, and that also enables the countless different movies contents to be projected/manifested upon the projector screen via the projector, and being viewed/watched/experienced/perceived by the audiences/perceivers/movies watchers.

Such as a fruit tree can gives shades/home/leaves/flowers/nectar/fruits/food/energy to some other living organisms, where the growth and maintenance, and the flowering, nectar producing, and fruiting of the fruit tree requires energy, as well as can be transformed into woods or branches that can be burn to generate heat and light, or to create some other things. The prana continuously existing in all forms and pervades anywhere and everywhere.

All kinds of names and forms are impermanent and transformative throughout the duration of impermanent existence and function as well as upon ceased function and existence, however, there is no existence of any permanent independent infinite immortal individual self identity/existence/consciousness/spirit/soul existing in the names and forms to be undergoing ceaseless selfless and non-self impermanent changes and transformation.

The conscious awareness deriving from the selfless actionless intentionless universal consciousness, is what enables the audiences/the perceivers (the conscious sentient living organisms under the presence of the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty/mind) to be aware of, or perceiving, or watching the movies (the conscious mind perception of a worldly selfless impermanent limited conditional and non-self momentary mortal life existence of diverse impermanent names and forms, that is being reflected upon the selfless universal consciousness - the impermanent restless modification/state of mind, a.k.a. the impermanent restless thought current/process/activities of the mind) that are being projected upon the projector screen.

Just as the internet connection (the medium between the internet provider/server and the receiver/user of internet, it also requires some form of energy (electricity) and other elements for that to be happening, either through cable wiring plug-in or radio-wave connection to generate such connectivity. The conscious awareness deriving from the selfless universal consciousness, is the selfless indiscriminate medium that enables the mind that is existing and functioning to be conscious or aware of the existence and function of itself and the internal and external surrounding environment for maximal survival, upon the state of consciousness and semi-consciousness.

The audiences/the perceivers/the movies watchers can be 'ignorantly'/'naturally'/'spontaneously' associating with and grasping unto while being affected/determined/influenced/disturbed/pleased/displeased/satisfied/dissatisfied/happy/unhappy/elevated/depressed by the contents of the movies, or the audiences/the perceivers/the movies watchers can be non-associating with and non-grasping unto and be unaffected/undetermined/uninfluenced/undisturbed by the contents of the movies (the perception of names and forms), depending on the presence and absence of correct understanding.

The 'movies' or 'the projected/reflected intentional or non-intentional and voluntary or non-voluntary contents on the screen' can either be 'prerecorded fixed contents' that is screening in NOW, or it can be 'live streaming random contents or happenings that are all happening in NOW, as they are'.

The modification of the mind is a mixture of memories flashback/wild imaginations/anticipations on top of all kinds of random voluntary and involuntary ideas, thoughts, feelings, emotions, desires, urges, inspirations, aspirations, inputs and outputs processing, actions, or reactions, that are ceaselessly arising, changing, and passing away in NOW, that is constantly happening and changing in NOW.

The yoga and/or buddhism practice of mind conquest, is about developing and attaining the correct understanding, via renunciation and dispassion and indifference and desirelessness devoid of craving and aversion, where the mind realizes and understands that the cinema (the infinite space)/the projector screen (the all pervading infinite universal consciousness)/the projector/the audience/the perceiver (the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty)/the prana or energy, are all standing as the silent witness, witnessing all these reflection/projection/perception/cognition/modification of the mind/thought current/physical and mental activities/physical and mental inputs and outputs processing, without association or grasping, not being affected/determined/influenced/disturbed/pleased/displeased/satisfied/dissatisfied/happy/unhappy/elevated/depressed by all THAT that are all selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

Just as the different contents of the movies don't and cannot affect the projector, or the projector screen, or the energy (electricity), or the cinema, or the audiences/movie watchers/perceivers that enabling all THAT to be happening, to be existing and functioning as what they are. Although, during the process of making the movies, or during the process of screening the movies, or during the process of watching the movies, there might be some consequences deriving from such activities.

Somehow, under the absence of correct understanding, or under the presence of the veil of ignorance, the audiences/the perceivers think and believe and understand that the contents of the movies have the power to be affecting/determining/influencing/disturbing them. It doesn't, but it is the presence of grasping/association/attachment/identification/desire of craving and aversion/judgment/expectation/satisfaction and dissatisfaction/agreement and disagreement/like and dislike towards the contents of the movies, that is why the minds think and believe that they are being affected/determined/influenced/disturbed/elevated and depressed/happy or unhappy/satisfied and dissatisfied, and so on, by the contents of the movies being what they are.

The movies (the names and forms/desirable and undesirable experiences/pleasant or painful sensations/agreeable and disagreeable happenings) are just what they are, but the minds that are functioning under the influence of the veil of ignorance will spontaneously react towards the movies (the names and forms) by thinking and believing, analyzing and judging, identifying and labeling the movies (the names and forms) as 'good' or 'bad', 'right' or 'wrong', 'appropriate' or 'inappropriate', 'satisfying' or 'dissatisfying', 'comforting' or 'disturbing', 'elevating' or 'depressing', 'positive' or 'negative', 'meaningful' or 'meaningless', 'worthy' or 'not worthy', and so on.

Even if under the absence of grasping, but all kinds of inputs are still there as there are, being perceived through the senses via the organs of the senses, under the presence or absence of conscious awareness, where there is ceaseless random inputs processing and outputs responding happening in the mind. Such as after watching a horror and violent movie, there will be construction of bad dreams/involuntary inputs and outputs processing/reconstruction of names and forms in the selfless restless modification of the mind, during sleep throughout the state of semi-consciousness (presence of semi-awareness being aware of the voluntary and involuntary thought current) and unconsciousness (absence of awareness being unaware of the involuntary though current).

That is why the highly importance of the observation of renunciation and dispassion, and the practice of silence in solitude and seclusion for rendering the mind calm and quiet, effectively and practically.

Under the absence of conscious awareness, upon the state of unconsciousness/deep sleep/coma, or upon ceased function and existence, the world doesn't exist or ceased existing for the mind that is non-conscious, or ceased function, even though all kinds of names and forms are still ceaselessly happening and changing as they are throughout the infinite space upon the selfless universal consciousness that is always there as it is.

Inquire the truth of everything, including all that is here, and be free.

Inquire towards the neither religious nor spiritual universal mind conquest of yoga and buddhism

The universal mind conquest, or the core of the universal teachings and practice of yoga and/or buddhism, is commonly being categorized by the many worldly egoistic minds, including some of the yoga and buddhism enthusiasts and practitioners as a form of spirituality, if not, a form of religion.

Even when some yoga and/or buddhism practitioners might understood that yoga and buddhism is not a form of religion, but they would refer yoga and buddhism as a form of spirituality.

That is the freedom of the thinking and understanding of the minds.

x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x

The core teachings and practice of yoga and/or buddhism about the mind conquest, or the conscious mind evolution, is neither religious nor spiritual.

Regardless of whether the minds believe or disbelieve in, associating or non-associating with, identifying or non-identifying with, or coming or not coming in contact with any kind of religion and/or spirituality that exist in the world of diverse selfless impermanent limited conditional and non-self names and forms, all minds can practice the universal teachings and practice of yoga and/or buddhism, a.k.a. engaging in the process of the mind conquest, or activating the conscious voluntary mind evolution, under the presence of the selfless impermanent limited conditional and non-self conscious awareness, that will also be over-ridding or influencing the unconscious involuntary thought current prompted by the limited and conditional mind thinking and behavior pattern and the intentionless survival instinct.

The idea, belief, values, and practice of any kind of religion and spirituality is merely part of the ceaseless random creation and manifestation of the mind.

Some minds believe in and practice some kind of religion but not spirituality, some minds believe in and practice some kind of spirituality but not religion, as they believe that religion and spirituality are two different things, while some minds believe in and practice both, as they believe that religion and spirituality is the one same thing under different names. 

Regardless what the minds think and don't think, believe or don't believe, know or don't know, understand or don't understand, desire or don't desire, behave or don't behave, constructive or destructive, hurtful or non-hurtful, religious and/or spiritual or not, in certain way or not in certain way, the selfless impermanent limited conditional and non-self existence and function of all minds is still what it is, existing and functioning selflessly, impermanently, limitedly, conditionally, and non-selfly.

Regardless of religious and spiritual or not, all minds are naturally/reluctantly/autonomously functioning under the presence and/or influence of the natural manifestation of the veil of ignorance (the selfless impermanent restless modification/state of mind occupied by the continuous stream of random voluntary and involuntary thoughts/ideas/feelings/emotions/desires/urges/inspirations/aspirations/wild imaginations/memories flashback/construction of dreams/actions and reactions and etc, the idea of 'I' or the ego or the self awareness or acknowledgement/egoism/impurities/restlessness, or restless thought current/process/activities) upon the activation and operation of the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty/mind of the physical body, functioning under the presence and absence of the selfless impermanent limited conditional and non-self conscious awareness throughout the different states of consciousness/semi-consciousness/unconsciousness.

The idea, belief, values, and practice of religion and spirituality and/or some other ancient or recent ancestral/cultural/tribal/ethnical/social/political/national/global/philosophical/educational/commercial ideas, values, and practices, is non-universal.

All kinds of diverse names and forms (conscious and unconscious/sentient and non-sentient living organisms and non-living objects) are existing and functioning as what they are, and ceaselessly changing/decaying/disintegrating as they are, or all kinds of diversities are subject to the truth of selflessness, impermanence, limitation, conditional, and non-self, is universal, regardless of the existence or non-existence of all kinds of diverse ideas, beliefs, values, and practices.

All and everything, including the existence and function of the mind that is part of the many mechanisms/functions/systems/components/organs the physical body under the presence and absence of the conscious awareness upon the different states of consciousness, are all selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self. This is the timeless permanent unchanging truth of all and everything, of all kinds of names and forms, of all kinds of qualities, that are manifesting/existing/functioning/changing/decaying/disintegrating/ceased functioning and existing, that cannot exist or function, not to say, to be ceaselessly changing as they are, if without the selfless support/influence/impact of the selfless energy and the many different selfless supportive and influential/impactful elements and conditions. This is universal.

Without the idea, belief, values, and practice of religion and/or spirituality, the selfless impermanent limited conditional and non-self momentary existence and function of the mortal body and mind of the finite conscious sentient living organisms that is existing and functioning and ceaselessly changing/decaying/disintegrating under the selfless support and influence/impact of the selfless energy and the many different supportive and influential/impactful elements and conditions, is still what it is. This is universal.

The dhamma, or the teachings and practice of yoga and/or buddhism, or the selfless restless modification/thought current of the mind, or the natural veil of ignorance, or the ignorance and the by-products of ignorance, or the nature's law of cause and effect, or the existence and function of the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty of the physical body, or the mind perception/cognition/awareness/acknowledgement/discrimination/understanding towards pleasurable enjoyment and painful suffering under the presence of conscious awareness regardless of what the mind thinks and believes and identifies as "who/what 'I' am and/or who/what 'I' am not", or the different essential impermanent states of consciousness, or the selfless intentionless survival instinct, or what gives rise to the conscious awareness under the state of consciousness and semi-consciousness, or the all pervading selfless timeless attributeless actionless universal consciousness that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, or what gives live to all kinds of conscious and unconscious sentient and non-sentient living organisms, or the prana/life force, or what enables the selfless manifestation/creation/maintenance/destruction of all kinds of impermanent names and forms (living organisms and non-living objects), or the selfless energy and the selfless elements and conditions, or the infinite space that hosts all and everything indiscriminately that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, or the mind conquest, or the truth of selflessness, impermanence, limitation, conditional, and non-self, are all universal.

What is universal, is the truth of everything that doesn't change and never change, and that cannot be altered/modified/destroyed, that is permanent and infinite, or all time, or timeless, or attributeless, or indiscriminate, or unconditional, is not being contaminated/determined/affected/changed/modified/damaged/hurt/destroyed by the limited and conditional manifestation/existence/function/maintenance/ceaseless changes/destruction of all kinds of names and forms being what they are, or the presence and absence of the idea, belief, values, and practice of religion and spirituality in the minds of the human beings, or the selfless impermanent changes being what they are (strengthening or weakening/growing or decaying), or the restlessness or silence of the modification/thought current of the mind, or the understanding and non-understanding of the mind, or the constructive or destructive tendency of the mind, or the beneficial or hurtful action/reaction/behavior of the mind, or the presence and absence of absolute peace, knowledge, and freedom in the mind.

The universal core teachings and practice of yoga and buddhism, or the engagement in the process of mind conquest, or conscious mind evolution, is about modifying/influencing/over-riding/reconditioning/reprogramming the limited and conditional mind thinking and behavior pattern by disciplining/purifying/rendering/quieting/silencing/annihilating the restless egoistic impure modification/thought current of the mind (the natural veil of ignorance), a.k.a. activating the conscious mind evolution, by the selfless impermanent limited conditional and non-self existence and function of the mind itself, that doesn't exist independently outside/without or separated from the existence and function of the physical body of the conscious sentient living organisms, that consciously perceiving a selfless impermanent limited conditional and non-self mortal momentary worldly life existence and function, that perceives and attends to the presence of hunger and thirst and sensations/urges/conditions and situations in the surrounding environment for survival, of attending to ceaseless life maintenance, of adapting and adjusting to ceaseless impermanent changes of illness, injury, weakness, aging/decaying/disintegrating and death/ceased functioning and existing, of restlessly swaying between elevation and depression, comfort and discomfort, desirableness and undesirableness, or pleasurable enjoyment and painful suffering, under the presence of the impermanent limited and conditional conscious awareness that doesn't belong to the mind itself, upon the state of consciousness and semi-consciousness, that also doesn't belong to the mind itself.

The existence and function and modification of the mind, as well as the presence and absence of conscious awareness in the mind, and the presence of prana/life force that enables, supports, and influences/impacts all that to be forming/existing/functioning/decaying/disintegrating as they are, also doesn't belong to the mind itself.

None and nothing belong to anyone or anything.

Under the influence of the idea and practice of spirituality, there is the thinking/thought/idea in the minds that think and believe that the mind conquest to purify, discipline, modify, render, silent, or annihilate the restless egoistic impure modification of the mind, is about the 'spiritual' conscious awareness that they think and believe is who they really are, that they think and believe as something pure and infinite and independent, that is separated from the existence and function of the impure and finite and non-independent perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty/mind, not to say, the physical body, where they think and believe that the conscious awareness is their infinite permanent independent individual self existence/consciousness/soul/spirit, that they think and believe is their original infinite permanent individual identity that is separated from and residing momentarily in the finite mortal impure body and mind, and hence, the minds think and believe that the conscious self awareness (what the minds think and believe and desire is their infinite and pure individual consciousness/soul/spirit) is the one that is yearning to be free/liberated from the fleeting worldly momentary life existence of the mortal impure body and mind, that is full of all kinds of impurities and painful suffering, and is the one that is performing the yoga and/or buddhism practice to be purifying/disciplining/rendering/modifying/silencing/annihilating the existence and function of the limited and conditional mind and its restless egoistic impure impermanent modification or thought current.

The presence of the selfless impermanent limited conditional and non-self conscious awareness upon the state of consciousness and semi-consciousness in the conscious sentient living organisms, is merely part of the manifestation/existence/function of the mind, that enables the mind to be aware of the existence and function and modification/restless thought current of itself (self awareness), and to be aware of the internal and external surrounding environment of the physical body and all and everything that the mind perceives through the senses via the sense organs, upon the state of consciousness and semi-consciousness. That's all.

If there is no manifestation/existence/function of the physical body of the conscious sentient living organisms, there is no manifestation/existence/function of the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind. If there is no manifestation/existence/function of the mind, there is no manifestation/existence/function of the conscious awareness.

The physical body can still be existing unconsciously, limitedly and conditionally, under the absence of conscious voluntary mind activities, under the absence of conscious awareness, under the momentary state of unconsciousness/deep sleep/temporary reversible coma due to illness/injury/impact in the brains (the hardware of the mind), where there are still the ceaseless ongoing unconscious involuntary brains activity/inputs and outputs processing for life maintenance, or even, under the state of non-reversible coma due to serious brains damaged/dysfunction or brain dead, especially under the support of the life supporting machines, that continue to provide energy and other essential life supportive elements and conditions to the non-conscious physical body for maintaining the selfless impermanent limited conditional and non-self life existence, up to a certain extend.

The mind that is functioning under the presence of conscious awareness upon the state of consciousness and semi-consciousness, is the one that is aware of the manifestation/existence/presence of ignorance/doubts/non-understanding/unknown/limitation/vulnerability/powerlessness/insecurity/uncertainty/impermanent changes/fleeting pleasurable enjoyment/painful sorrow/suffering/restlessness/all kinds of impurities, and etc, in the selfless restless modification of itself, and hence, the mind has the intense yearning towards absolute peace, knowledge, freedom, and liberation from ignorance and the consequences of ignorance, that is the one performing the yoga and/or buddhism practice to be purifying/disciplining/rendering/modifying/silencing/annihilating the restless impure thought current/process/activities of itself.

The manifestation/existence/presence and absence of the conscious awareness is just what it is, enabling the mind to be awake and aware or to be asleep and unaware or resting. The conscious awareness is actionless and intentionless and desireless. The conscious awareness doesn't enjoy or suffer.

Such as all the senses and the organs of the senses, are merely the selfless ego-less medium that enables the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty/mind of the physical body to be perceiving all kinds of names and forms that appeared to be agreeable or disagreeable, enjoyable or non-enjoyable, pleasant or unpleasant, desirable or undesirable to the mind that is functioning consciously under the presence of the conscious awareness, but the senses and the organs of the senses (as well as the conscious awareness) are ego-less and indiscriminate and intentionless and desireless, and they don't enjoy or suffer, even if the existence and function of these selfless ego-less indiscriminate intentionless desireless mediums could be impacted by the presence or absence of certain names and forms/conditions/elements/situations/activities being what they are, as they are, that are also intentionless.

It is merely the conscious perceiver/knower/thinker/experiencer/action performer/enjoyer/sufferer, a.k.a. the conscious perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty/mind functioning and perceiving/experiencing/reasoning/discriminating/recognizing/acting and reacting/enjoying and suffering/desires and doesn't desire pleasurable enjoyment and painful suffering, that has the mental tendency/intention/desire/urge/inspiration/aspiration that turn into physical action/reaction/behavior of constructive or destructive/beneficial or detrimental/kind or unkind/hurtful or non-hurtful via the organs of action and speech/expression, under the presence of the conscious awareness deriving from the all pervading selfless timeless attributeless actionless intentionless silent universal consciousness that doesn't belong to the mind, or any mind, or anyone, or anything.

Under the presence of the conscious awareness, upon the state of consciousness and semi-consciousness, where the mind is aware and semi-aware of the existence and function of itself (the presence of conscious self awareness/acknowledgement/assertiveness, or the ego, or the idea of 'I' in the form of continuous stream of countless thought/idea, or thought wave, or thinking) and is aware and semi-aware of its modification/thought current/thinking/ideas/feelings/emotions/sensations/desires/urges/inspirations/aspirations/anticipations/imaginations/memories flashback/construction of dreams/actions/reactions/behaviors and the consequences of all that, as well as is aware and semi-aware of the external objects of names and forms, sights, sounds, smells, tastes, sensations, the others, interactions, communications, affairs, conditions, and situations in the surrounding environment (the sense of separateness between 'I' and 'not I'), that give rise to the ceaseless restless thought current (the natural manifestation/formation of the veil of ignorance/murkiness/restlessness/disturbance), that hinders the mind to perceive/see/know/understand things as they are, where the mind is ignorantly and spontaneously grasping/attaching unto and associating/identifying with the restless modification/thought current/continuous stream of countless ideas/thoughts/feelings/emotions/desires/urges/imaginations/memories flashback/reflections of the perceived names and forms/actions and reactions, that ceaselessly arising and passing away in the mind, that generates the different impermanent states of mind, to be identifying and acknowledging as the existence of 'I', or this is me/myself/my thinking/my feelings/my emotions/my desires/my actions and my fruit of actions, and so on, that are all selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self.

There is not any permanent independent infinite immortal existence in any of all these impermanent limited conditional manifestation/modification/existence/function of the body and mind as well as all kinds of names and forms, that are all selfless and non-self.

The only 'thing' that is always there as it is (other than the all pervading idle and active prana throughout the infinite space that is transformative and manifesting under countless forms), that is infinite, non-manifested, attributeless, nameless, formless, beginningless, endless, birthless, deathless, decayless, timeless, changeless, actionless, permanent, independent, unlimited, unconditional, that is also selfless, that is neither self nor non-self (non-duality/oneness/non-separateness), that never come or go, that doesn't appear and disappear, that doesn't increase or decrease, that isn't pure nor impure, that is hosting all kinds of selfless impermanent limited conditional and non-self manifestation of diverse names and forms, where all and everything manifesting/forming/existing/changing/ceased existing upon, under respective cause and pace, governed by the indiscriminate nature's law of cause and effect, that is untouched/uncontaminated/undetermined/unaffected/unhurt/undamaged/unchanged by ALL THAT that ceaselessly changing, that come and go, that exist and ceased existing, that can be pure or impure, is the all pervading silent witness selfless universal consciousness that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

The selfless universal consciousness is always there, as it is, beyond the mind perception of names and forms, as it is attributeless, nameless, and formless, where the mind can't perceive, or see, or hear, or smell, or taste, or touch, or sense, or feel, or imagine, or visualize, or measure, or grasp, or hold, or possess, or accumulate, or destroy, and etc, but it exists as it is.

If the selfless universal consciousness doesn't exist, or non-existing, what is the mind perception/cognition/experience towards all these that are being perceived by the mind under the presence of conscious awareness upon the state of consciousness?

Just as the infinite space, that doesn't increase or decrease, that is silent, attributeless, nameless, formless, actionless, intentionless, indiscriminate, unconditional, unlimited, or infinite, that cannot be measured, that cannot be seen, smelled, heard, tasted, touched, felt, imagined, visualized, held, possessed, contained, minimized, maximized, contaminated, hurt, or destroyed by anything or anyone, that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, but it is always there, hosting and pervades all kinds of selfless impermanent limited conditional and non-self names and forms/elements/matters/atmospheres/movements/activities/affairs/living organisms/non-living objects/and so on, that ceaselessly manifesting/forming/arising/changing/decaying/disintegrating/passing away throughout the infinite space upon the all pervading timeless selfless silent universal consciousness, at respective cause and pace, governed by the indiscriminate nature's law of cause and effect.

The restless impermanent thought current/thought wave/thought activities/states of mind throughout the different states of consciousness/semi-consciousness/unconsciousness (just like any form of names and forms/activities/vibrations/movements/elements/electricity/gases/liquids/matters/substances/lights/shadows) might can be detected, or measured, or captured under the existence of certain high-tech machines engineered under the presence of advanced science and technology and engineering, but no matter how super advanced high-tech a detecting data collecting image capturing machine can be, it is still not possible to detect, or measure, or capture, or with-hold something that is attributeless, nameless, formless, matter-less, element-less, weightless, sizeless, colourless, odourless, shapeless, actionless, motionless, infinite, or absolute silence. It might can detect and capture the furthest elements/substances/matters/activities/vibrations/planet/star/sun/galaxy/universe/name and form in the space, but still it couldn't detect the end of the space that is infinite.

The data collecting image capturing machine will be keep searching/detecting for something that is undetectable/non-capturable, for as long as it is still operating, if there is no limitation for the duration of detection/search, or upon reaching a point of the limitation for the duration of detection/search when it needs to show a result, it will only detect, or give result of - "There is nothing (detected/accumulated/analyzed/captured/finalized)."

This is nothing religious or spiritual, not to say, mystical, or super extraordinary, or unreachable.

There is neither right nor wrong with the existence of the idea, belief, values, and practice of religion and spirituality, for the minds to 'hold onto while drifting along the current of the ocean of ignorance and restlessness and suffering', however, for the minds that genuinely want to realize/know/understand the truth of the mind/the modification of the mind/the worldly life existence of names and forms/suffering and the cause of suffering and the liberation from suffering, they need to let go the attachment and identification and expectation towards the idea/belief/values/practice of "the almighty creator/authority/controller/judge/blesser/punisher of the universe", or "the impersonate '...' existence", or "the wheel of endless births and deaths of endless reincarnations into different separate life existence of a permanent independent immortal individual self identity/existence/consciousness/soul/spirit transitioning under countless realms/worlds/spheres being governed by the belief of good/bad/neutral karma or merits and virtues and sins." All these ideas, beliefs, values, and practices will drop-off/disappear by itself naturally and effortlessly, upon the direct self realization towards the truth of Selflessness, Impermanence, Limitation, Conditional, and Non-self, under the rendered one-pointed, focus, calm, and quiet state of mind.

If there is a need to label the mind conquest under a category, or field, or subject of study, it will be Science.

Open the mind.

Quiet the mind.

Meditate.

Reflect. 

Inquire the truth of everything, including all that is here.

Attain direct realization, and be free.

The essential elements for self inquiry and self realization towards knowing Thyself

"What is knowing Thyself, and how to know Thyself?"

Under the influence of the veil of ignorance, on top of under the influence of the many different existing created/inherited/adopted egoistic cultural/religious/spiritual/family/communal/regional/national/political/commercial/educational/philosophical/mystical/superstitious wishful thinking, ideas, beliefs, values, desires, and practices, many minds might think and believe and propagate that 'knowing Thyself' means to know 'who I really am', of finding out my initial origin/the beginning of my existence, or the original source of my infinite existence, of where I belonged to (originally), of whom I came from or what I was made of (my creator/my parents/the source of my infinite existence), of knowing my original infinite all time ancient unchanging true self identity of a permanent independent immortal individual pure and perfect consciousness/spirit/soul/existence that is devoid of painful suffering, residing temporary in a mortal impermanent limited and conditional impure decaying disintegrating body and mind that is full of painful suffering.

Under such idea, thinking, belief, values, practice, inspiration, and aspiration (wishful thinking), the minds of human beings, including many yoga and buddhism enthusiasts, believe that they (what they think and believe is who they really are, or their immortal soul/spirit/consciousness that belong to themselves) came from or were the creation of an almighty creator/controller/authority/judge of the universe, and they believe that they have an infinite immortal endless pure and perfect existence that exists infinitely right after they came into existence, but somehow they have a downfall and are lost in the world of impermanence and mortality and painful suffering (due to ignorance or sins), and are waiting to return home (infinity and immortality and absolute pleasurable enjoyment) to where they initially came from, a place/space that is devoid of mortality, vulnerability, limitation, difficulty, dissatisfaction, fear, insecurity, uncertainty, unpleasantness, painful sorrow, illness, decay, weakness, old age, and painful suffering, but only infinite and limitless power to manifest and control everything in certain way, of all kinds of desirableness, pleasantness, joyfulness, blissfulness, and pleasurable enjoyments.

That is the freedom of thinking, understanding, belief, values, and aspiration of the minds.

Knowing Thyself, under the teachings and practice of yoga and/or buddhism, is about -

Knowing what is the mind and the modification of the mind, and everything that the mind perceives/experiences internally and externally through the senses via the sense organs of the physical body, by the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting mind itself that is selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self, where the existence and function/modification of the mind doesn't even belong the the mind itself, not to say, belong to anyone or anything.

By initiating, activating, and/or engaging in the conscious mind evolution and/or mind conquest, under the presence of the limited and conditional conscious awareness, conscious cognition, conscious freewill, conscious initiative, conscious choice making, and conscious effort or action taking, under the presence of the selfless support of the intentionless selfless energy and many different supportive elements for all and everything to be existing and functioning or happening to be what they are.

To attain direct self realization towards knowing Thyself, via meditation and self inquiry/introspection/investigation, by rendering the mind focus, clear, and quiet to be inquiring towards "Who am I?", or more precisely, seeing/knowing the truth of "What is the 'I' that the thinking faculty thinks and believes, or perceives and conscious of, or recognizes and identifies, or remembers and acknowledges, or grasps and attaches unto as 'who I am', or 'this is me/I/myself', or 'this is my body, my mind, my life, my world, my identity, and everyone and everything that is my and mine'?" under the rendered focus, clear, and quiet state of mind.

To perform self inquiry to attain direct self realization towards knowing -

What is the perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional self-aware/acknowledge/assertive thinking and acting faculty and the thought process/current/activities towards perceiving/processing/reasoning/knowing/experiencing a worldly life existence of names and forms of pleasurable enjoyment and painful suffering as well as inevitable ceaseless and restless maintenance of life existence and function, that is subject to decay and disintegration, that are all selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self?

- Open mind a.k.a. non-blind believing, non-blind following, non-blind practicing, non-blind agreeing/disagreeing, non-blind propagating, non-blind glorifying, non-worshiping.

- Renouncing worldly egoistic ideas, beliefs, values, practices, habits, way of living, affairs, activities, ties and connections, interactions, and communications.

- Turning the outgoing tendency of the mind inwards.

- Going beyond or transcending duality or qualities of names and forms, or not being determined by and non-clinging/non-craving/non-aversion towards the sense of high and low self esteem and self-worth, the sense of belonging and ownership, superiority and inferiority, pride and shame, goodness and badness, righteousness and wrongfulness, positiveness and negativeness, meaningfulness and meaninglessness, gain and loss, success and failure, achievement and non-achievement, enjoyment and suffering, joyfulness and joylessness, togetherness and separateness, family and not family, friends and not friends, and etc.

- Thinning-out, starving, weakening, and eliminate the idea of 'I', 'my', and 'mine', not to say, 'we', 'our', and 'ours', or 'they', 'their', and 'theirs'.

- A rendered impermanent limited and conditional momentary but highly precious focus, clear, and quiet state of mind under the presence of conscious awareness.

- Non-grasping, or non-association, non-attachment, non-identification, non-craving, non-aversion, non-judgment, non-comparison, and non-expectation towards the action/practice and the fruit of action/practice, allowing the fruit of action/practice to be there as it is, to be what it is, and all are impermanent and non-self.

- Standing as a silent witness. Unmoved, even if what the mind perceives as 'bliss', or 'absolute silence', or 'stillness', or 'guru', or 'buddha', or 'gods', or 'objects', or 'colourful lights', or 'fragrance', or 'sensations', or 'sounds', or 'speech', or 'the passed away beloved ones', or 'past lives', or 'near death experience', or 'anyone', or 'anything', sort of appearing to oneself, all are the creation and manifestation within the selfless modification of the mind. Just like the perception of 'vivid dreams', or the perception of 'stillness'/'numbness'/'peace'/'bliss'/'god'/'past lives'/'the near death experience' and etc under the induced state of stoned/trance/hypnotized under the usage of drugs substances or hypnotism, all these perception/manifestation of names and forms are not any 'special message', or 'signal', or 'communication', or 'connectivity', or 'blessing', or 'acknowledgement', or 'encouragement', from anyone or anything 'special' or 'super extraordinary', regardless of how realistic it appeared to be to the mind. All these manifestation/perception/experience can become the intentionless obstacle under the presence of grasping and under the absence of correct understanding, under the influence of the veil of ignorance. Even some highly experienced yoga and/or buddhism practitioners might be 'fooled' by all that, a.k.a. the selfless egoistic impure restless modification of the mind itself.

- Truthfulness and honesty without grasping, or association, attachment, identification, craving, aversion, judgment, comparison, and expectation, upon seeing the existence of ignorance and all kinds of impurities, or the presence of undesirable and disagreeable qualities, or the presence of vulnerability, powerlessness, selfishness, and hurtful tendency in the mind. All are impermanent and non-self.

- Absence of denial and aversion (rejection/pushing away) and justification (hypocrisy/pretentiousness/manipulation/lies/story telling/blaming) upon seeing/acknowledging/recognizing the existence of impurities, vulnerability, powerlessness, imperfection, weakness, disability, limitation, helplessness, uncertainty, insecurity, dissatisfaction, disappointment, exhaustion, doubts, unknown, non-understanding, misunderstanding, partial incomplete understanding, ignorance, and/or destructive hurtful violent tendency in oneself (the mind is aware of the restless egoistic impure modification of itself), as well as absence of attachment, identification, craving, and longing towards the opposite of all that, a.k.a. not being determined by the sense of pride and shame, superiority and inferiority, quality of good and bad, positivity and negativity, purity and impurity, gain and loss, success and failure, accomplished and non-accomplished, high and low self esteem and self-worth, and etc.

The minds that are functioning under the influence of the sense of pride and shame, superiority and inferiority, righteousness and wrongfulness, and all kinds of desirable and undesirable qualities, under the presence of grasping, under the presence of the idea of 'I' and egoism, will naturally don't like and don't agree with, as well as will be denying and pushing away the truth of the selfless impermanent limited conditional and non-self existence and function of the mind itself, which is naturally full of all kinds of impurities, vulnerability, powerlessness, imperfection, weakness, disability, limitation, helplessness, uncertainty, insecurity, dissatisfaction, disappointment, exhaustion, doubts, unknown, non-understanding, misunderstanding, partial incomplete understanding, ignorance, and/or destructive hurtful violent tendency, that is not the way that the mind would like and desire itself to be - The absence or the opposite of all that.

The minds rather cling or hold onto certain wild imaginations and wishful thinking, of certain worldly egoistic ideas, beliefs, myths, magical inspirational story telling, fairy tales, justifications, values, practices, inspirations, and aspirations, that appeared to be agreeable, desirable, reasonable, acceptable, motivating, hopeful, and comforting to the minds to think and feel good and better about themselves.

Such as most minds growing up understand that 'Santa Claus' as well as some other 'religious/spiritual/ancient/modern characters' are merely some made up fictional characters that don't exist, that were being created by the minds functioning under the influence of the veil of ignorance to control and manipulate the young children and all the others to behave in certain way and not in certain way, but the minds still want to continue such practice as well as passing on such practice to their next and next generations, not to say, the many other types of cultural/religious/spiritual/family/ancestral/communal/regional/national/political/commercial/educational/philosophical/mystical/superstitious wishful thinking, ideas, beliefs, values, desires, inspirations, aspirations, and practices, that are all deriving from ignorance and egoism, and that empowers ignorance and egoism.

That is the freedom of thinking, belief, desire, practice, and activity of all minds.

It has to come from the mind itself, of want to be free from all those influential and conditional 'myths', 'lies', 'story telling', 'fairy tales', 'heroism', 'patriotism', 'loyalty', 'justification', 'manipulation', 'intimidation', 'bullying', 'oppression', 'suppression', 'exploitation', 'hypocrisy', 'power game', and so on, of so called family and community, or religious and spiritual, or national and political, or social and financial, or economical and commercial values and practice to bring people together, but it is all about gathering and hoarding power of control and manipulation towards all and everyone and everything to be the way that one desires, to achieve all one's greedy ambitious desires, and to feel good and better, or superior and powerful about oneself that is full of uncertainty, unknown, doubt, insecurity, limitation, powerlessness, vulnerability, and etc (The inconvenient undesirable disagreeable Truth), that the minds don't like and don't desire.

However, there is nothing bad or wrong about the mind doesn't like and doesn't desire 'The inconvenient undesirable disagreeable Truth', which can turn into the precious intense yearning towards liberation to be free from all that, by understanding and transcending (not being determined and over-powered by) all that, via renunciation and dispassion, through meditation, self-inquiry, and direct self-realization, and not by denying, rejecting, hiding, and pushing away the undesirable disagreeable truth, while engaging in and empowering random ignorant hurtful activities that impact all and everyone and everything in the process of want to feel good and better, or superior and powerful about oneself, and to feel hopeful and meaningful about the fleeting momentary vulnerable selfless impermanent limited and conditional life existence and function of the mortal body and mind, that is non-self, that doesn't even belong to the body and mind itself.

It is common and natural that in the beginning there are many minds (that don't have the basic foundation of non-grasping and the basic correct understanding and mentality) are highly enthusiastic to be practicing yoga and/or buddhism under the initiation or intention or motivation that is associated with all kinds of 'wishful thinking', either they would give up the path of yoga and/or buddhism due to the presence of all kinds of intentionless physical/mental/emotional discomfort, or obstacle, or difficulty, or doubt, or distraction that arise during the prolonged process of mind purification and quieting process, or, under the presence of grasping and under the absence of correct understanding (without engaging in genuine observation of dispassion and renunciation, devoid of the essential mental and emotional independence), once they reach the stage where they started to see or realize the inconvenient undesirable disagreeable truth of themselves, they were shocked and hammered, where they felt greatly disappointed and meaningless, "This is not what I want and expect. I don't like this, and I don't want this," and they gave up and didn't want to advance further, to keep going or keep practicing until they reach the stage of understanding and transcending all that under the absence of grasping and under the presence of absolute knowledge and correct understanding, to realize the unconditional peace, the absolute knowledge and freedom, and the liberation from ignorance and the consequences or by-products of ignorance.

That is the freedom of thinking, understanding, and desire of all minds towards what they want and don't want.

Inquire the truth of everything, including all that is here, and be free.

Mental ideas, thoughts, feelings, emotions, desires VS physical efforts, actions, reactions, activities, behaviors

There is neither right nor wrong that there are many people strongly believing in and promoting "The power of thoughts" or "The super mind power".

The thoughts are only 'powerful' upon turning into physical efforts/actions/activities that could be either constructive predominant or destructive predominant, depending on the state of mind, whether there is presence or absence of wisdom or correct understanding, or the absence or presence of ignorance or incorrect understanding, or the absence or presence of grasping, or the presence or absence of self-control.

Power, of any kind, is neither good nor bad.

Power (to create, maintain, and destroy) itself is intentionless.

Power can be used for something constructive or destructive, and/or both. It depends on how the power is being used, wisely or ignorantly.

Regardless of something constructive or destructive, it is also neither good nor bad, as all actions will lead to respective consequences of actions that are neither good nor bad, but only being what they are, as they are.

Such as birth and death is neither good nor bad, however, under the influence of the veil of ignorance, most people would perceive birth (creation and existence) as something auspicious and joyful, and death (destruction and ceased existence) as something inauspicious and painful sorrow, except for the birth and death of something or someone that they strongly dislike and disagree with, then the birth and the existence of that something or someone is being considered as inauspicious and sorrow deserving, while the death and the ceased existence of that something or someone is being considered as auspicious and celebration deserving.

Most of the time, what is being recognized as 'good and right and meaningful and prideful' or 'bad and wrong and meaningless and shameful' for the minds, are not necessarily the truth of what things are.

Such as there are many minds are being manipulated and conditioned to believe in and aspire to be ceaselessly achieving and accumulating and hoarding (to create and possess) endless wealth and possessions and pleasurable enjoyments that are deriving from exploiting all and everyone and everything and the surrounding environment to the maximum (destruction), directly and indirectly, as the ultimate 'good and right and meaningful and prideful' thing to do in life.

One can develop and empower correct understanding and kindness while destroy and eliminate ignorance and consequences of ignorance in oneself, and vice versa, under the availability and utilization of power/energy/effort/action/activity, that also impact all and everyone and everything and the surrounding environment, directly or indirectly, constructively or destructively.

If the mind that is functioning under the presence of conscious and semi-conscious awareness, that has the ability and opportunity to be performing physical actions via the organs of actions and speech/expression, but it is unwittingly and ignorantly being over-powered, determined, influenced, or prompted by the ceaseless voluntary and involuntary ideas/thoughts/feelings/emotions/desires of craving and aversion/urges prompted by the intentionless survival instinct, under the absence of correct understanding or self-control, then the ceaseless random ideas/thoughts/feelings/emotions/desires/urges will be spontaneously turning into voluntary and involuntary physical actions/reactions/activities via the organs of action and speech/expression that will give rise to the consequences of action and speech/expression (regardless of constructive or destructive) that would impact all and everyone and everything and the surrounding environment in certain way, directly and indirectly.

And hence, many people think and believe that the thoughts that prompt/influence/determine the actions are most powerful, as it can determine the type of physical actions, or activities, or behaviors in certain way, regardless of constructive predominant or destructive predominant.

That thinking and belief is valid as long as the mind is still functioning under the influence of the veil of ignorance, however, that is invalid upon the mind is free from the influence of the veil of ignorance, that knows Thyself, that is absent of grasping, or the idea of 'I' and egoism, under the presence of conscious and semi-conscious awareness upon the state of consciousness and semi-consciousness.

Under the influence of the veil of ignorance or under the absence of correct understanding, the mind is ignorantly, spontaneously, unwittingly, and reluctantly being over-powered and determined by both conscious and unconscious / intentional and intentionless / voluntary and involuntary / egoistic and ego-less / gross and subtle thought current/process/activity, a.k.a. the selfless impermanent limited and conditional restless modification of the mind, then the mind might be wittingly and unwittingly / intentionally and intentionlessly / randomly and deliberately generating ceaseless and boundless physical and verbal action/reaction/behavior via the organs of action and speech/expression being prompted/influenced/determined spontaneously by all those mental activities that might be constructive predominant or destructive predominant, and/or a mixture of both, towards oneself and others and the surrounding environment, directly and/or indirectly.

The thoughts are powerless, or the thought current/process/activity, or the restless modification of the mind under the state of consciousness and semi-consciousness, regardless of the tendency of good or bad, positive or negative, beneficial or harmful, constructive or destructive, and so on, that don't turn into physical efforts, actions, or speech/expression via the organs of action and speech/expression, are merely some selfless impermanent manifestation of names and forms in the form of thought waves/current/process/activities, that ceaselessly arising, changing, and passing away.

Actions are way more powerful than thoughts.

Thoughts initiate, prompt, give rise to, or turn into actions, or not, but the presence of the limited conscious physical and mental actions/efforts (especially engaging in regular physical and mental yoga and/or buddhism practice to quiet and annihilate the restless modification of the mind) can influence and render the thought activities, or influencing and modifying and rendering the mind thinking behavior pattern, or the modification and the state of the mind in certain way or not in certain way, either constructively (develop correct understanding) or destructively (eliminate the veil of ignorance), even if there is certain degrees of inevitable limitation.

No doubt that actions are being prompted by conscious/voluntary/egoistic and unconscious/involuntary/ego-less ideas, or thoughts, or feelings, or emotions, or memories flashback, or wild imaginations, or inspirations, or aspirations, or desires, or urges, or survival instinct, and so on. But all those mental activities don't necessarily turn into physical efforts, or actions, or activities that give rise to the consequences/fruits of actions, especially under the presence of correct understanding and self-control, where the mind has the limited and conditional conscious awareness, conscious freewill, conscious initiation, conscious reasoning, conscious understanding, conscious filtering, conscious choice making, and conscious action taking, to act in certain way or not in certain way - Not being over-powered, or determined, or prompted spontaneously or unwittingly by the restless voluntary and involuntary mental thought activities, which can also become the predominant power that can be influencing and modifying and rendering the limited and conditional mind thinking and behavior pattern to be in certain way, that would be beneficial to all and everyone and everything directly and indirectly, selflessly and ego-lessly, unconditionally and indiscriminately.

That is exactly what the yoga and buddhism teachings and practice is about - To conquer/quiet/thin-out/slowdown/annihilate the restless modification of the mind, by the mind itself, not being over-powered or determined by the ceaseless manifestation of thought current/activities/process that is selflessly and non-selfly existing and functioning as what it is. - Yoga Citta Vritti Nirodhah

Just by thinking and desiring very hard repeatedly and continuously about having, or owning, or living in a house, but if without exerting any physical effort or action as well as under the non-availability of all kinds of supportive elements and conditions for either building or buying a house that the mind is thinking and desiring about, the thoughts or mental activities will not be materialized. Such thoughts or mental activities are powerless. Which is neither good nor bad. Which can be either beneficial or harmful to oneself and others and the surrounding environment, depending on the state of the mind.

Such as if there are some constructive and beneficial ideas or thoughts or desire arising in the mind, but somehow, the mind under the presence of conscious awareness chooses to ignore those ideas/thoughts/desires, or the mind is reluctant or doesn't have the motivation, or courage, or willpower, or determination to turn those ideas/thoughts/desires into physical actions/activities/efforts for materializing all those mental ideas/thoughts/desires. Such as there is the idea/thought/desire of, "I should, and I want to start exercising regularly," that doesn't turn into physical action/effort of performing some physical exercises at all.

Such as if there is ill-will towards someone or something arising in the mind, but it doesn't necessarily turn into physical effort, or action, or activity that actually causing certain harm unto anyone or anything, under the presence of correct understanding and self-control, then the ill-will or any kinds of impure thoughts/ideas/feelings/emotions/desires will just be coming and going in the mind, and don't give rise to any physical consequences.

What is even more powerful than actions and consequences of actions, is the presence of wisdom or correct understanding in the mind that is under the state of clarity upon the state of consciousness and semi-consciousness, where there is absolute knowledge and correct understanding in the mind towards the selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary finite existence and function of the mortal body and mind that is non-self, that doesn't even belong to the body and mind itself, where the mind that is conscious and semi-conscious, is consciously or semi-consciously aware of or witnessing all kinds of voluntary and involuntary thoughts/feelings/emotions/desires and don't desires/urges arising, changing, and passing away in the mind without grasping, without egoistic attachment, identification, desires of craving and aversion, comparison, judgment, or expectation, without being determined or over-powered or prompted spontaneously by the thoughts/feelings/emotions/desires and don't desires/urges to act, or react, or behave.

At the same time, such minds that are functioning under the presence of correct understanding have the limited and conditional conscious awareness, conscious freewill, conscious choice making, and conscious effort or action taking, to be standing as a third party to be reasoning and filtering the existing ideas, thoughts, feelings, emotions, or desires and don't desires, and make conscious choices of choosing and turning which mental thoughts/feelings/emotions/desires and don't desires/urges into physical action/activity/expression, to be performing actions that would be benefiting not only the body and mind itself, but also benefiting all and everyone and everything and the surrounding environment directly or indirectly, while not performing actions that would be harming oneself and others and the surrounding environment, under the presence of clarity of thinking and correct understanding.

If the ceaseless thoughts/feelings/emotions/desires and don't desires don't turn into physical action/speech/expression via the organs of action/speech/expression, then there are no physical consequences of the ceaseless thoughts/feelings/emotions/desires and don't desires being what they are, however, if there is the presence of grasping, the mind might still be over-powered and disturbed greatly by the conscious and semi-conscious awareness/acknowledgement/perception/cognition towards all kinds of restless ideas/thoughts/feelings/emotions/desires and don't desires that ceaselessly arising, changing, and passing away, even if all those mental activities don't turn into physical actions/activities/efforts.

Ceaseless and boundless random thoughts/ideas/feelings/emotions/desires/urges (selfless restless busy modification of the mind) that don't turn into physical efforts/actions/reactions/activities/behaviors might not generate any kind of beneficial or harmful effects/consequences unto others and the surrounding environment, but it might still be affecting/influencing/determining/disturbing the conscious/semi-conscious perceptive cognitive mind itself, under the absence of correct understanding and under the presence of grasping. - "I am suffering from sleep deprivation and constant exhaustion, where I can't function or live life properly, that I can't stay focus and don't have any determination or perseverance on doing anything, where I am highly impatient and easily be agitated and disturbed as I am highly sensitive towards anything and everything, and I cannot even look after myself or manage my daily life affairs properly, not to say, to have a healthy relationship with anyone, because there are so much ongoing random thinking/worrying/feelings/emotions/desires/memories/anticipations/fear/insecurity/longing/loneliness/emptiness/meaninglessness/disappointment/hurts/lust/anger/hatred/guilt/self-blame/shame/sadness/sorrow/hostility/vulnerability and so on in me, in my thinking, in my head, that I can't stop from happening, that I can't control. I don't want to hurt myself or others. I don't like, and I don't want to be like this, but I just can't stop it."

Such minds that have the precious conscious awareness/cognition of being aware towards all that (the state of constant restlessness/inattentiveness/helplessness/exhaustion/disturbance that is going on in themselves), can be free from such state of mind, by learning and practicing genuine yoga and meditation practice from genuine teachers, such as participating in the Vipassana silent meditation courses that are available in many places.

There might be some genuine yoga classes/courses that is about the mind conquest and self inquiry and self realization being conducted by some genuine yoga teachers as well, even if many of the yoga classes/courses/retreats in the world nowadays, are not really about the mind conquest or the annihilation of the veil of ignorance, but are unwittingly empowering ignorance and egoism and restlessness. And even that is nothing bad or wrong, because just by performing some regular yoga practice either by oneself, or by attending yoga classes/courses/retreats regularly under many different types of motivation/interest/intention/expectation/desire, but without any interest or intention to be free from the veil of ignorance will also give rise to certain impermanent limited and conditional physical health and fitness benefits, that will also be influencing/modifying/rendering the state of mind towards heading the path of mind conquest eventually, under particular cause and pace.

The entire world of many diversities will be in absolute peace, under the complete absence of any kind of activities generated by the minds of human beings functioning under the influence of the veil of ignorance, when all existing human beings are resting in the state of unconsciousness/deep sleep/coma, under the complete absence of conscious or semi-conscious awareness, a.k.a. the complete absence of all kinds of ignorant egoistic impure human's activities/actions/reactions/behaviors that are ceaselessly being generated under the influence of the veil of ignorance under the presence of conscious and semi-conscious awareness upon the state of consciousness and semi-consciousness, where all and everything are merely being what they, as they are, neither good nor bad, neither positive nor negative, neither constructive nor destructive, and that ceaselessly changing at their own respective cause and pace, governed by the intentionless attributeless nature's law of cause and effect.

Just by keep thinking repeatedly and forcefully about something doesn't 'make' that something to be happening or be materialized. One needs to perform physical action or exert physical effort to 'make' that something to be happening or be materialized.

Such as by thinking and desiring (wishful thinking) that all and everything in the house will become all clean and tidy but without exerting any physical efforts/actions/activities to be physically cleaning and tidying the entire house as well as engaging in ceaseless maintenance to be maintaining the cleanliness and tidiness of everything, won't make the house become clean and tidy.

Just by thinking repeatedly about "I want to know the answer of this doubt/calculation/puzzle/problem/non-understanding/happening" doesn't make the answer appears, but it is the continuous mental and/or physical effort of reasoning, or calculating, or solution finding, or problem solving, or inquiring, or investigating, that will lead the mind to see or know the answer.

That is why the world is continuously being in a state of madness, reflecting that there are many egoistic impure minds functioning under the influence of the veil of ignorance, where the egoistic impure restless modification of the many minds, of all kinds of random impure thought activities, are spontaneously/ignorantly turning into physical efforts/actions/activities that give rise to the consequences of all that - A world of human beings that is full of ignorance and consequences of ignorance, or all kinds of unnecessary and evitable selfishness and possessiveness, endless and boundless greed/desires/ambitions/inspirations and aspirations/activities/creativity/productivity/rubbish/excessive energy consumption/destruction to the surrounding living environment, dissatisfaction, disappointment, hatred, discrimination, prejudice, bullying, intimidation, intrusion, invasion, manipulation, politics, untruthfulness, hypocrisy, lies, story telling, justification, myths, oppression, suppression, offensiveness, defensiveness, unrest, chaos, violence, cruelty, exploitation, desperation, difficulty, physical and mental exhaustion, corruption, abusive hurtful action/reaction/behavior, of all kinds of painful suffering that don't need to be there at all.

Positive thinking, or a large group of people meditating and generating collective positive and kind thought towards the manifestation of goodness, joyfulness, peace, and harmony in the world, doesn't stop all kinds of ignorance/selfishness/badness/madness or painful suffering/desperation/difficulty from happening ceaselessly everywhere in the world, and it doesn't make the world become more peaceful and harmony, and less unrest and violence. If that is possible, then the world is already a perfect peaceful and harmony place, and there won't be so much unnecessary endless suffering and desperation and difficulty in the world of human beings deriving from the boundless ignorance and consequences of ignorance of the minds of human beings. What 'super mind power'? What 'power of thoughts'? What 'collective positive mind power'?

The entire yoga and buddhism practice is about conquering/thinning-out/silencing/annihilating the restless modification or thought activities of the mind, by the mind itself. - The selfless impermanent limited and conditional non-self function or restless egoistic impure modification of the mind absorbed into silence/absolute clarity, resting upon the selfless universal consciousness.

It is nothing to do with the common wishful thinking/wild imagination/day dreaming/ambitious desire of the ignorant egoistic impure restless minds desire to be developing and attaining 'the super mystical extraordinary mind power' to make all endless and boundless desires come true, or to control all and everything to be and not to be in certain way, or to become immortal, or to attain immortality or infinite unlimited unconditional existence, or to enjoy unlimited endless pleasurable enjoyments, or not experiencing/undergoing any kind of unpleasantness and painful suffering.

It has to come from all and everyone themselves to be free from the influence of the veil of ignorance by themselves, to have the quiet peaceful state of mind that gives rise to the clarity of thinking and correct understanding, to stop performing actions/reactions/activities/behaviors that hurt all and everyone and everything and the surrounding environment directly and indirectly, under the presence of the limited conscious awareness, conscious freewill, conscious initiative, conscious understanding, conscious effort, and conscious action taking to promote and maintain peace and harmony among all and everyone in the world of many diversities that doesn't belong to anyone or anything.

Inquire the truth of everything, and be free.
