Gentle stretch


Read this gently without hurry and let it sink in


The current materialistic or modern view is

That life started from a "Random inevitable chemical reaction"

However any cursory view of nature shows it to be highly intelligent and complex

Very complex

Did life really start without intelligent input?

In a random way?

Life without self-reflective consciousness is not consciousness as we know it

So how did consciousness evolve?

Consciousness ever thought about what it is?

All those different states most of us have experienced from time to time

Many of us have had unusual mind or beyond mind experiences

Non ordinary states of consciousness are based on direct experience of certain realities

These produce changes in our thinking about life


No one who has had a major trans personal experience continues to hold a materialistic viewpoint

The experience shows them beyond any possible doubt that life is very different from what they thought it to be before their near death or other such trans personal experience

Science has tried to leave consciousness to one side as you cannot measure it if you cannot even define it

However many young and open minded scientists are challenging our current views of reality

It is clear that we cannot go much further with reductionism and that new understanding is required


An understanding that the observer is part of the equation

His consciousness affects whatever he is involved with

Which keeps bring up the question
what is consciousness?

It involves going beyond mind because consciousness is also found beyond mind

What is beyond mind?

Start your own exploration.


What is beyond your mind? .

Direct experience

Of what?

How do I go beyond mind?

Beyond mind can be the gateway to truth

To unlocking those questions that exercise our scientists today

Meditation can help to approach this area

Beyond mind is where we must go if we want to progress

Mind alone cannot get us there

It is too limited


To find the truth we have to go beyond mind because mind can only be relative

And truth is absolute not relative

Time to go beyond mind.
