The King of Our Mind and Meditation

10/6/24

We forsake the mind. We constantly expand it, let it roll over on itself, and disorient it, resulting in anxiety, loneliness and stress.

Oh how we neglect it! Is our mind sensient outside of our conscious awareness? Does the mind have its “own” mind? I would invite the contemplation. Is it worth exploring, or is it just nonsense? Let’s see.

When we apologize to someone saying “sorry, I was not acting like myself.” Then who is it that was activating outside of “your” purview? This is of the UPmost importance (because enlightenment is upwards.)

Similar to our body, is it possible to stop your mind from laughing no matter how funny things can be? Is it possible to stop yourself from crying, or raging, no matter how heinous or horrifying the reality is in front of you? Many of us in the beginning of 2025 think that we can, but I believe we just pretend. Can you forcibly stop yourself from delight no matter how wonderful your current surroundings may be?

If it’s not possible, then who is it that is acting upon you? It must be a who because to us, a who is one that exhibits emotions, responds, cries and laughs, no?

Our minds, like our body, are a divine, sentient presence. Why is it divine? It’s inherently capable of bringing “you” to the divine, in any sense of the term. And if so, some holiness must be bestowed, no?

Our minds are the kings of our existence in every sense of either word. 

The philosophy of kings is not one of dominance but of submission and service.

Everyone must submit to someone. Which means, as king, there must be one that submits to all the subjects in return.

Indradeva was the king of the Gods in Vedic mythology. In the Mahabharata, Arjuna was the material living manifestation of Indradeva. The Bhagavad Gita was a song sung to royalty, who had the responsibilities of kings.

Indradeva was, then, also a servant to the Gods.

Our minds, our Indra, need to be in the shadow of our inner divine energies, or our inner Gods. But we messed that up. And we mess that up everyday. 

Under the organic brainwashing of society, and by our inner will, drive, grit, and “wit,” we commanded Indra to only serve himself. Very bad idea. He’s a king. He’s only allowed to serve others.

When the shadow serves only itself, it just becomes more shadow, all concealment. Important, but very, very dark. Like a shadow of a shadow, useless.

When the shadow only serves the Gods, however, it only has their back, follows them, serves them, diminished, yet conversely in its full power, the light of all your Gods are revealed. And more importantly, dimension. What would the world be with no shadow? If you ever took art 101, then you would know. With no shadow, orientation, form, and the entire third dimension, would be limited, almost absent.

But with shadow, with Indra behind them and not in front, the Gods can dance. Your body (Durga) will swoon. Your love (Kama) will sing. Your breathe (Hanuman) will be straight flexing. Your creativity (Bhrama) will bless you and the ether (Shiva) will transform you. Indra just needs to be in the back, ready to help. That’s where he thrives.

Let Indra serve others. A king has no need or want to serve itself, unless it was to serve others exponentially in return. And only with a capital “E” just to be sure it’s not of the ego.

Let Indra get behind the Gods and to bring them to life, together to dance, in the revelry of expansion created by shadow. The shadow that fills every particle in which light refrains, to hold light’s hand, because only together can there be space, or dimension to dance.

When Indra is void, only then, can self-expression, the creative energy of Bhrama or Shiva or the Universe can manifest. All else would be to serve the wrong master.

In flow, we say the prefrontal cortex shuts down. We interpret it as, our minds are not there, just self-expression and peak performance.

No, that only means Indra shedded his baggage and surrendered to total action, under the orders of a “higher” self, a higher spirit or design. To Dharma. 

In other words, he’s not asleep as other’s believe today. He’s awake and purring like a jet, just using only 1% of his energy because he’s doing the right work. ‘

In doing so, he serves the divinity in us wholly. They find each other in the mind’s dimension, its awareness, its interest, with the King’s full sanction and protection.

And in this you will only find auspiciousness. Because being with the king, the most powerful figure that can serve, is always auspicious. 

In our negligence, our will has bonded the mind to serve itself. But that does not fulfill. Pleasures, safety, hate, pride, anger, it always requires more. It obscures us, and alienates us.

Our minds are not built to thrive with an ego, to only move to defend itself. It only enjoys service. You can ask them yourself. We ask our minds to serve an imaginary personality, an imaginary fantasy, also known as “a future.” And our brain does what a good king does, it defends and fortifies its charge. This fakeness. 

Meditation is going to your mind and seeing how its carrying out its real orders, your real orders, just to protect something imaginary. Meditation not to look for punishment, or explanation of not meeting results the mind is currently not responsible for.

It’s not to come dominate with your whip. With the true orders your Indra received, signed and sealed by you, it was not meant to make your life better, it was meant to make you feel better. There’s a difference.

Meditation is to explore the facets, operations, soldiers, walls, forts, farms, and living energy inside this erroneous kingdom, your ego, the result of your misplaced orders and erroneous commands. 

Meditation is when the true king of kings, the emperor comes, which is your pure unadulterated awareness, to come to work with the king towards a stronger future.

Work with Indra, your mind, the king of your conscious senses. He is a king with limitless power, just distracted by poor ideals and beliefs.

Do not look to improve the mind, it’s a king in its own right, and it earned it’s sovereignty. You cannot simply dismantle a kingdom for parts and put the pieces back somewhere else.

What would it take to disintegrate and reintegrate a kingdom?

Vision. Planning. Integrity. Information. Trust. Faith. Challenge. Compassion. Negotiation. Problem Solving. Ingenuity. Improvisation. A lot.

For how long have you asked Indra to serve your personality and not the God-given divinity in you?

It will take time and patience. Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.

You will need to work with the mind and point to some of these efforts, mental structures, beliefs, slowly dismantle them, and begin building structures around the divinities in you, your Durga (body), your breath (Hanuman), your ether (Shiva/Bhrama). 

It needs to be done in an organized fashion. With supervision, reports and debriefs. Find the mental analogies of such work, and you will start to really understand meditation. 

When, during Kama (not Karma) yoga, you allow Indra, the mind to serve Durga, your body and the subsconscious, autonomous presence directing every cell and electrical current.

You do it with cooperation, dialogue, patience, compassion, and most importantly, with solid unchanging orders to allow Indra to serve the Goddess within you and not your personality. Once Indra is working with Durga, he will only stop if the emperor, your awareness, changes their own orders.

If in practice with yoga, you begin to ruminate, or think of your worth, attachments, or desires, you have given Indra the orders to go back to the old, fake kingdom, and start working there.

Back to prop up the fakeness. It’s not our brains that forsake us, it is what we work so hard to build. The negligent Emperor that wants all his wants, no matter who they need to step on, because they’re not “real” people. Spirits that not worth our attention, right? 

However, there are times when your will, your orders are iron-clad, reviewed and sealed by the soul, “the witness” itself. Then the mind begins to take over, have his own sovereignty and not let the mad emperor get in the way.

This is when you see Dharma like heads up display in a car or videogame. You can slip, but you have the compass. This is when you build real confidence. This is when people follow you, though you don’t look like their ideal. Your values become manifested, but only with orders given in deep meditation. This is the only way to affect your subconscious thought processing.

While your mind discerns your true motivations behind your thoughts and behaviors, the cause-and-effect of its actions, it is learning how to tear down the old kingdom and bring on the new. But it must take discernment. 

The mind only discerns itself where there is a strong directive from above, when the emperor commands. Think evil eye of Sauron, but in the color of love. But if commanded, the king will obey. This is meditation.

Trust and faith and adventure is the king ordering the demolition of the ego’s walls, allowing those resources to go to other deities, definitely to Kamadeva. In other words, you see the fake assumptions or beliefs that keep you from connecting with the Universe in front of you. This too only happens with your fully focused awareness (not attention), the emperor. This is meditation if you can be present and aware as it happens. 

When the ego diminishes, its sense of “knowing” which can only be a fallacy, also diminishes.

The deities, then, have more room to play, expand and dance. This is flow, the way that any scientist defined it.

These resources, previously used to serve the ego, will only strengthen these divine energies, these beautiful, limitless energies you have within you. And when those energies begin to serve you, you’ll know what bliss is, like listening to my Rati’s laughter.

And Indra will thrive in this totality, order and harmony of the All that is happening. With a taste of the nectar of the Gods, pure life, all energies unlocked and dancing, your Indra will continue to manifest, to grow stronger, to continue to serve its emperor, however mad!

It will find its place behind these energies, happily imploding into nothing but a shadow of your divine energies, a mere after-image allowing the Gods to dance and serve in worship of the soul. 

Meditation is when the mind is allowed to serve its family. When you fully let go, you will feel the energies, like a spiritual whirlpool vortexing into your soul. Or, that’s at least what they say…

The mind was born a king. It has everything it needs. It just needs to be let go from serving the evil master, and die serving something worth serving, your soul. #Boromirdiedtoosoon
