What is a “pure mind”? Is it one that doesn’t produce “bad” thoughts? Is it one that is Holy? Or Christlike, or whatever?
Yes and No. It IS pure and Holy, but that’s because it just IS. Not because it is following any set of rules.
The Pure Mind is one that does not judge.
Does not separate and divide.
Let me try to explain it this way:
When we enter meditation, we are attempting to reach a Pure Mind state. Mind without extraneous thought. Mind without judgements and labels. Mind that is calm and still and connected to Source.
THAT state is purity of mind. It has nothing to do with banishing “bad” thoughts or being hard on yourself for having “sinful” notions. We all have those. The key to this is to notice them and then LET THEM GO.
As soon as you get stuck in the cycle of judging your own thoughts, you’ve given yourself reason and excuse to judge others.
Everything starts with you.
There is a wonderful analogy in the book Awakening Spirits by Tom Brown, Jr (thank you from the bottom of my heart, David, for gifting me that book).
The analogy is this: Think of a glassy smooth pond. It is calm and still. It reflects what’s above and around it perfectly. It is also clear and easy to gaze into its depths.
When a pebble is tossed into the water, or the wind picks up, the surface becomes turbulent. It no longer reflects things purely. All becomes distorted. Chaotic.
The calm water is your Pure Mind. It is the bridge to connect you to Spirit. The turbulence is your ego thoughts and judgements.
The Pure Mind is your “other mind”. It is not the logical, thinking mind of the ego. It is the one without judgement. The one that exists in Love and resides in the state where judgement and labels just do not even exist.
Do you have a Pure Mind?
Yes. We all do.
The key is learning to access it.
Now, as you process what I’ve said, is some part of you trying to hang on to the notion of judging and following the rules to “achieve” purity? Yeah, that’s the part you want to tell to take a seat and shut up for a while. 😉
Love you,
TR ✨💕✨

This means: Do not judge.
Judgement means forming opinions and labels for things, people and ideas.
The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences.

“The Great Way is not difficult for those who have no preferences. When love and hate are both absent everything becomes clear and undisguised. Make the smallest distinction, however, and heaven and earth are set infinitely apart. If you wish to see the truth then hold no opinion for or against. The struggle of what one likes and what one dislikes is the disease of the mind.”
