Three Minds
An excerpt from the Day One Lesson
Being capable of reading this indicates that you are the highest life form on the planet. Congratulations!
Being in human form has many benefits and of course limitations. This is something that my wife is suffering mightly right now.
As I learn to "know myself", I'm find limitations beyond the physical. That darned 'Monkey Mindedness' is pesky!
The Tao teaches that we in fact have three minds. Each of these lining up with the three Tan Tien locations (and three Chakras, and three Sephirah): The traditional one below the belly button (near the root), the Solar Plexux (or heart) and the spot between the eyebrows (or Third Eye).
Anyone who remembers their desires in the teenage years should be well familiar that Root Mind makes decisions for us.
Anyone who has been in Love or in Indifference, is well aware of the Heart Mind no matter what the logical mind recommends.
Anyone who has had distractions while executing a previous distraction is well aware of the dreaded Monkey Mind (Logical Mind) effect. Oops, I gotta go take care of something... BBL!
LOL! Anyway, we teach about this and how to handle it, how to integrate the three into one.
