We have to
understand the three main types of consciousness:
Body consciousness
Mind consciousness
Soul consciousness
Body consciousness
Mind consciousness
Soul consciousness
Most of the
time, we are preoccupied with the first two. We groom the body, look after it
and nourish it because we live by our external image. People judge us by this
look as well. Cultivate a studied smile, the right body language and tone and
often, you can get away with less cerebral content in your speech.
Right alongside,
the mind is busy working overtime to support the body with all kinds of
reasoning, whether it be with awareness or a lack of it.
The soul
consciousness is necessary to bring to the forefront because as humans, we must
know that we are here to use the body as a vehicle to purify our karma and
consequently, the soul. This then should be our focus. But it isn't.
There needs to
be a bridge established between earthly activities and our soul activities.
This bridge is the heart. The heart loves, period! What discriminates is
attachment. When it is clearly understood that it is attachment that leads to
hatred, we will start living in our hearts and without discrimination.
