Your
Beastly Mind
Your
mind is a wild thing, any good Buddhist will attest to as
much. “Monkey Mind” you might hear one call it.
Unbridled, it defies taming and commonly runs the potential
of one’s life amok. As for those who do manage to
discipline it a little, the ensuing success, however
seemingly huge, is but the revealing tip of a mental
colossus with the power to exhalt one’s life beyond the
coarse and crude yearnings of a predatory animal.
Palatable
or not we are all, to some degree, coarse crude creatures,
all out to get ‘ours’. Disagree? Stop and check yourself
for a moment. Have you just jumped to a defensive position,
armed to counter argue? If so, you have just reacted without
hearing me out, giving reign to the part of you that hits
first and questions later, the part of you that is governed
by your reptilian brain stem.
Our
reptilian brain stem is a primal operator. Lacking the
ability to be self reflective, it is motivated by fear,
concerned only with self-preservation it is the part that
takes over when a threat - real or not - is perceived. If it
were working in balance with our higher functions:
conscience, wisdom, compassion (resident in the front lobes
of our brain), it would no doubt be serving us well, but
it’s not.
Everyone
can see that the state of global human affairs is out of
balance. Look a little closer and it’s clearer again that
ignorance is the tipper. Ignorance precipitates fear, greed,
lust, hatred, anger, judgement, violence - all the dark
characters of the human psyche that give rise to the
monstrous acts in our world.
As
much as we might like to dress up and gloss over our outward
facade the consequences of our actions speak of the truth we
hold within. Whether we like it or not residing with each of
us is a beast that through self-discipline must be tamed and
trained if we are to realise our true potential and reset
the balance of our world.
