The mind is given too much attention by human beings. We’re led to believe that the mind represents 100 percent of our consciousness, when in reality, it’s less than one percent.

There’s simply a misunderstanding about how the mind functions. Everything we do—and everything people are engaged in to find happiness—is really an attempt to seek their true nature: their infinite self, infinite consciousness.

For instance, if somebody goes to a football match, what they’re actually going for is to experience infinite consciousness. The way they try to do that is by watching one of their players perform in a way that goes far beyond the capability of the mind. The flow of how they play creates a sense of awe and bliss.

That’s true of most things people are engaged in—whether it’s watching a football match, going to the opera, or seeing a film. We’re always searching for that heightened sense of awareness, which exists beyond the mind and is, in fact, our true nature

The same is true for creative people. Writers love to get into the flow, where their writing becomes completely effortless. In that state, they’re actually functioning from their effortless, infinite nature. They’ve just been told it’s the mind doing it—but it’s never been the mind.

It’s the same for musicians, dancers, artists, and poets. We’re always seeking to go beyond the limitations of the mind. Everyone is already doing this, though most don’t realize it. They think it’s because they like a particular football team or admire a certain musician or writer—but everything has the same underlying motivation: to experience one’s true nature.

The difference between these secondary modes of experience and Effortless Being is that Effortless Being gives you direct access to that state. You don’t need any kind of intermediary.

We can explore this—and much more—together at our next online event. I’d love for you to join me.
