The physical and the non-physical are altogether a whole

Is there a difference between the brain and the mind?

The physical brain which is a result of the past, which is a product of evolution, of many thousand yesterdays, with all its memories, knowledge and experiences - this brain is a part of the total mind – the mind, which contains a conscious and an unconscious plane.

The physical and the non-physical are altogether a whole.

It is through thinking, evaluation, that you divide it in the conscious and the subconscious, the brain and the non-brain.

As a Life Artist you must observe the entire thing as a whole, instead of fragmented.

You are beside yourself, away from the subconscious, by being away in the conscious

Why does this division arise, between - on the one hand the conscious mind, which is wrapped up in its daily activities, worries, problems, superficial pleasures, earning one's living etc. - and, on the other hand, the deeper lying layers of the same mind, with all its hidden motives, its initiatives, its enforcing demands, its anxiety-conceptions? Why is there this division?

This division exists because we are so occupied, on the surface, by continual talking, the continual demand, on the surface, about amusement, entertainment, both of religious and of other kind.

This means that you become yourself absent, you are the deeper layers of your own mind absent.

And absence is unreality. Unreality is absence of something for the individual hidden. It is a specific condition, an emptiness, a being outside.

There is a displacement, or distortion, between the conscious and the subconscious; emptiness and loss slide in between, create reflections, displacement and darkness.

You are decentralized, beside yourself, away from the subconscious, by being away in the conscious. You are locked off from the subconscious, by being locked inside the conscious.

And this superficial mind can impossible go into depth, enter yourself, as long as this division is going on.

The subconscious is just as insignificant and absurd as the conscious

You don´t need to go through any process of dream interpretation in order to reach to the subconscious.

If you the day through are yourself and the surrounding world present, yes, then you will not at all dream. Then there will be a presence of something, which not is hidden, because the mind is empty and creative.

Meditation is to empty out the mind; not just the conscious mind, but also the hidden layers of the mind, the disproportion, which is called the subconscious. And then there flows energy and life back to presence and reality.

The subconscious is in other words just as insignificant and absurd as the conscious.

And during the sleep there is a multiplicity of superficial dreams, which hardly are worth granting a thought – dreams entirely without meaning.

But then there is the dream which has a meaning, and this meaning can be understood at the very moment it is dreamt, without that there are any displacements or distortions between the interpreter and the interpreted.

But as mentioned, this is only possible when you in the day-time are all movements of your thoughts, motives, feelings and ambitions present.
