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.
