The Manipulative Mind

By Csaba Balogh

 

In ancient times humans didn’t have the scientific explanation for life, nature and reality.

The level of consciousness what was represented by them at that time allowed them only to have a limited degree of comprehension of things in their lives.

Eventually evolution and the expansion of consciousness made humanity capable to not only understand simple things but also to establish concepts for abstract ideas just like the superior beings or gods.

Related to that still many things had been waiting for explanation for example the thunder and thunderbolts.

They had no understanding why it was happening in the sky and started to explain it with that the gods were angry at them.

Even though this concept was not so pleasuring but finally gave them an answer and reference point what was happening. 

Also this unscientific explanation was not even close to the truth – and didn’t really served them because then they had to deal with the anger of those gods at them – but at least was an explanation and with that the mind did its job, was looking for certainty and got certainty regardless that it was really helpful or not.

In our modern life it is still happening. We prefer to choose the known over the unknown, the certain over the uncertain and the predictable over the unpredictable. Most of the time we don't even realize that these decisions are being made on the unconscious level in our minds.

Whenever we think about making major changes in any area of our lives we have this feeling of resistance and second opinion not to do them.

Many times we stay in unsatisfying jobs or relationships and we give us the excuse that they are known, certain and predictable.

We obey the mind which is holding us back just to stay safe although doing that doesn’t serve us at all.

How many times we listen to our minds giving us a whole story with possible negative outcomes why not to do those changes…

And how many times we don’t listen to our hearts giving us a simple answer to our questions in the language of feelings.

Do it when it feels good and don’t do it when it doesn’t feel good…

We all have the purpose in life to learn, grow, have experiences and evolve.

We also have the duty and responsibility to be in charge with full capacity.

It is our choice whether we obey the mind and execute its orders without questioning or reclaim our power and gain full control over our lives.

A good way to start this whole process is to look within ourselves, calm our minds with doing meditation and listen to the thoughts, ideas, intuitions and feelings arising.

If we do this by imagining ourselves as independent observers looking at us with no attachment then eventually we will be able to discern the authentic and useful information – through those thoughts, ideas, intuitions and feelings – guiding us to the right direction and the ones coming through the ego and wouldn’t serve but hold us back in the process of becoming conscious and be in charge in our lives.

Also the part of this process is to train ourselves to stay in the present moment without letting the mind drive us into the past or the future. Doing this we can be aware of our surroundings and what’s happening around us and also being aware what’s happening inside of us.

 
It is never too late to start working on ourselves.

All we need is determination, belief and perseverance.

With all of that success is on the way!

What is Reality?

By Csaba Balogh

  This three dimensional physical reality is nothing more than an illusion. It is a platform for consciousness to experience itself. And we are not only part of this illusion but actually we are consciousness having the experience.   We think of our bodies as our identity. This is who we are we think but we are not the body. Our body is nothing more than a tool and we use this tool to navigate and operate in this three dimensional physical reality. The experience starts when we are born and ends when we die but it only means the time period for using that body, that tool. Then if it is necessary we start using another tool, another body a nd start having different kind of experiences again. It doesn’t have a beginning and it doesn’t have an end. Birth and death is just the beginning and end in this virtual reality. It doesn’t affect consciousness because it is the one utilizing this virtual reality in order to have the experience. We often say that when we die our soul...

Dolores Cannon and The Three Waves of Volunteers

By Csaba Balogh

  It was 2020 when I read the book The Three Waves of Volunteers and The New Earth from Dolores Cannon. Interestingly it happened at the time when my spiritual awakening just turned into a new chapter. The right book at the right time... As I was reading it I felt that this book was written for me and almost fully was talking about my thoughts, feelings and experiences. It was like an explanation to my life but from a completely different perspective. According to her description I am a Second Wave Volunteer .      ·  Feeling that life is a contract This is a long time thought of mine. I can’t point out its origin but it always felt so obvious. ·  Feeling of not belonging here This feeling started at the early adolescent age and became stronger as the years went by. If we accept that the reality we experience is a reflection of our inner self then this "not belonging here" feeling is definitely a steady aspect of the past decades. ·  Physica...

We All Agreed to Do This

By Csaba Balogh

  Life is like an agreement. Before we are born we construct it, negotiate it, modify it and then we go through life according what we agreed to experience in our contract. It was more than 15 years ago when I was introduced to this idea. I don’t remember where it came from but actually I liked it and it felt genuine right away. Despite of accepting and believing it I had no idea how to apply it on my life back then. But now I am grateful to have this concept in my reality because it allows me to have a different perspective on life. I have gone through so many things in the past few decades and just like everybody else experienced certain life events, challenges and difficulties. They were good and bad, one after another. My view on the bad ones was very critical with victim mentality, self-blaming and anger and I didn’t really have a much better view on the good ones either as so many times I felt unworthy and undeserving related to them. Not exclusively but especially ...
