THE VISUAL

​

The visual shows a number of changing images.

 

The Eye - the window to the soul, is here furtive and watching. 

​

A Light Bulb - flashes momentarily - the symbol of 'light' as inspiration - followed by an explosive hallow of bursting light - the symbol of ideas expanding and becoming, an 'Infinite Cosmic Universe of Ideas.' 

​

The Brain - the material source of 'cognitive thought' and 'ideas,' inside which, two flywheels turn.  The Brain - presented as a mechanistic object - whirring its action. 

​

A Clock - ticks as time itself moves on. 

​

These are all highly powerful images - heightened by the rapidity of change - all very busy.  The images themselves are not un benign.  However, it is the 'busy - ness' itself, which can become 'disconcerting' and which becomes the idea for consideration. 

​

The visual emphasizes the relentless and unforgiving pace which the 'mind,' -  in 'modern life' - is required to operate at -  constantly stimulated by rapidly repeating 'stimuli' - It seems an unnatural pace - what is the solution?

​

​

THE TEXT

 

Line 1:

​

'The busy mind'

​

The 'busy mind' is the 'modern mind.' 

 

In its 'worse aspects,' a mind constantly stimulated - never at rest - in the waking hours.

​

How and when can such a 'mind' find peace?

​

Line 2:

​

'Never has time'

​

It is a feature of the busy mind that it never seems to have time to do all it 'seeks' to do in its 'Infinite Universe of Ideas.'

​

Line 3:

​

'To look inwards'

​

The 'busy mind' stimulated by 'external stimuli' - can if we are not careful, suffer from a serious deficit - and that is the ability to 'look inwards' - 'Introspection.'

​

It is through 'Introspection' that we are able to look clearly at 'ourselves' - 'Reflect' on our 'Being' - and thus gather a sense of 'whom' and 'what' 'we' 'truly are.' 

​

From this process we derive an 'Understanding' of our 'Being' - and are then empowered/enabled - to walk the path to 'Self Mastery' - this is the 'Self Audit' process.  

​

Lines 4 - 6:

​

'Yet -

To look inwards -

Daily'

​

This process should be carried out regularly - it is as the wiping away of dust from the 'mirror' - whose 'clarity' of 'reflection' would otherwise be diminished. 

​

It is nothing less than the resurrecting of the mind - from the sands of time which seek to bury it - in mundane - though often necessary 'thoughts,' 'ideas' and 'deeds.' 

​

Line 7:

​

'Is the only way to find'

​

This process of 'Introspection' is as 'natural' and 'necessary' to the human organism as breathing.

​

In an ideal environment the process is 'natural' and can occur without much conscious effort.  But just as polluted air - causes an individual to become conscious of their, breathing and the air around it - and therefore take 'conscious' and 'practical' steps to minimize the intake through breathing  - of 'dirt,' 'grime' or other 'poisons.'

​

Similarly - now it is necessary - for individuals in a thoroughly corrupted - severely polluted 'social' and 'political' environment to take active steps to ensure their own 'sanity.'  If not, this severely polluted 'social' and 'political' environment - through the structure of its collapsing and dysfunctional 'family,' 'community,' 'workplace,' 'religious institutions,' 'political institutions,' 'education institutions' etc ... will cause and has caused the production of despairing minds. 

​

This can be seen in the massive increase in individuals suffering from illnesses such as 'anxiety' and 'depression.'  The solution is 'simple' - though necessary - and it is this - take time to 'Self Reflect' - take time for 'Introspection' - take time to 'Self Audit' - in a word - some form of 'Meditation' is a must.

​

Line 8:

​

'PURPOSE'

​

It is through 'purpose' that we can develop a sense of meaning in our lives, therefore we must regularly consider what is the purpose of our lives/Existence.

​

Line 9:

​

'PEACE'

​

Peace can be attained when the purpose of our Existence/lives is properly understood - such an 'Understanding' will automatically explore and at the very least should attempt to explain our relationship with others - our relationship with the surrounding environments - 'physical,' 'spiritual'/'mental,' 'emotional' - in short an understanding of the 'public space' and the 'private space' and that 'inner space' we all inhabit.  

​

Line 10:

​

'TRUTH'

​

Seek it! 

​

Line 11:

​

'Meditate.'

​

The solution to all the above is simple and clear - regularly engage in some form of 'Meditation.'
