The mind which we cannot quiet down is designed to focus on form...on things. The mind made “me” seeks ‘more’ in order to enhance its sense of self... in order to make the mortal and temporary immortal and eternal.

Our futile attempt to add more to our identity in order to perpetuate its existence makes us value the realm of form, of things and concepts because that is all the mind can truly know.

So we ignore, because we are largely unaware, the realm of the formless— the only dimension where immortality and eternity and fulfillment can be experienced.

The path of conscious evolution, of awareness, is the path of undoing and unmaking... of coming to notice we are the formless source of all things.

We begin to value stillness and spaciousness and being. We become aware that by unmaking our identity we no longer obsess over making.

The egoic condition propels us back into the arms of the survival brain and we suppress ( and therefore devalue) our sharing caring nurturing side...which is aligned with our unmaking tendencies.
