Life is an Illusion

31/10/2022

 
Picture
Life is an illusion, a very real one that we creating. How can we find a way to look at ourselves, the processes of our mind without judgement and the layers of conditioning that life brings? We create layers of camouflage that we can no longer see and from this comes dis ease (emotional and physical) & we see no way out because our mind has become rigid.

"And yet that is what most of us want—to find a secure place in our ways of thinking. We want to pursue a set pattern and be undisturbed in our thoughts, in our actions. But it is only the mind that is capable of patiently observing its own conditioning and being free from its conditioning—it is only such a mind that is able to have a revolution, a radical transformation, and thereby to discover that which is infinitely beyond the mind, beyond all our desires, our vanities and pursuits. Without self-knowledge, without knowing oneself as one is—not as one would like to be, which is merely an illusion, an idealistic escape—without knowing the ways of one’s thinking, all one’s motives, one’s thoughts, one’s innumerable responses, it is not possible to understand and go beyond this whole process of thinking." (from "As One Is: To Free the Mind from All Condition: To Free the Mind from All Conditioning" by Jiddu Krishnamurti)

When we see past the illusion we have created, what do we find? ​Truth, a direct soul connection, true creativity, an ability to change and to heal - this is the process of Iboga  The Bwiti in Gabon know of these processes, that is why they are the protectors of Iboga. Creation is universal knowledge attainable for all of those that are ready for change, to do the work. These processes do not need to be understood intellectually, they need to be experienced to become real, with Iboga this can be done.
