The Mind at its Core, The Heart

Hello, Dear Parent Friends of the Web! Here is a touch of my wisdom... to make a difference in the tapestry of life.

Exposures of the Mind

The environment sense organs spring

 as, and when, the projective elements of the environment

 come into contact with the reflective elements of the senses. 

Contact exposures of the mind - through the sense apertures -

 fade away where they spring

 although some penetrate deep into the core of mind, the heart.

The inner mind radiates glows

 in relation to the intensity of penetration or exposure.

 The reactions thus caused are the sensations that develop in the mind;

 we discern the presence of feelings

 when sensations have developed sufficiently.

Mental currents as glow effects of mind

 are essentially sensations that fall under two main categories; 

thus we have feelings of purity 

or feelings of defilement.

Glow effects of the mind,  known to be thirty-nine altogether, 

range from purity to defilement; 

they comprise twenty-five mental currents or glow effects of purity,

 and fourteen currents of defilement.

The Mind, in Its Entirety, is A Collection of Forces.

Our actions and reactions stem from our thought formations that comprise the counteractive qualities of purities and defilements. 

 We, as humans, bear the power of freedom to transform our minds from darkness to luminosity through the cultivation of pure thoughts.

Mindfulness in body, speech, and mind, sets the mind free from all possible inclusions that obscure the spacious nature of the inner mind.

 Let me walk you along the path of peace and grace. Humanity cries out loud for help.
