The Real Meaning of Mind and Body Unity
Yuliuts, November 26, 2010
We have physical and spiritual essence. Our mind has two parts: Physical Mind and Spiritual Mind. Our mind functions because of the give and take of these spiritual and physical counterparts. But can you make a distinction between your 'spiritual mind' and your 'earthly-physical mind'? They are quiet different:One of our minds is external and centered on our physical self. It has no sense for God, so it does not know the truth, thus it observes externally and criticizes; brings confusion, anxiety, doubts and fears. It leads the person to be more self-centered and materialistic. Our evil mind is acive when this external-physical mind is subject.
The other mind is internal and always centered on God. It knows every truth so it never doubts, is never confused and never worries, but it is always centered on love. It leads the person to be more loving and spiritual. Our Original Mind is acctive when this internal-spiritual mind is subject. Once you know that it is quiet easy for to distinguish which one is subject at any particular moment.
The Divine Principle explains that the real essence of Mind and Body unity is to restore the dominion of the Spiritual Mind over the Physical Mind. Because of the Fall we are dominated by our Physical Mind, thus staying under the dominion of evil spirits:
"As long as our spirit mind and physical mind are under the bondage of Satan, the functioning entity they form through their give and take action is called the evil mind. The evil mind continually drives people to do evil." DP
The Unification Thought gives a chart of how the dominion of our spirit was gradually being restored throughout the long process of restoration. With each providential age the spirit mind got in a bit higher position, gradually restoring it's position as a subject. The time is come when we can free our spirit mind and liberate our Original Nature, thus becoming actual Temples of God. See Charts
Recognize the difference
Yet, to achieve that, first we have to recognize the difference between these two minds in our own self. I will give you here few simple hints. For example; Why the spiritual mind never doubts; it is never nervous, confused or self-centered? Because it knows? It has the sensibility towards God and the spirit world, so it can obtain any information. It feels the hearts of others, so it will never try to hurt them.On the other side, our physical mind is quite ignorant. It is created to care for the self preservation, so our spirit is not developed to subdue it, it will naturally lead us to be self centered. It has not choice but to observe externally without sensing the heart and motivation of the people around. So it often leads to misinterpretations and fear. That fear can easily trigger intrigues, gossiping, antagonism and criticism. That's why, the history resulting from the physical mind (Cain-type) attitude inevitably led to wars, corruption and exploitation.
What is the biggest difference between these two minds? Physical mind can never feel God the spirit world, only rationalize about them; while our spiritual mind is constantly connected with them. Now you can understand why physical mind became the origin of all disbelieve, materialism, gossiping, negativity, struggles and wars. So please Liberate your Spiritual Mind, that's your only way to God.
Depression and illness are also result of the physical mind reversal of dominion over our spirit. Not having the sense to God, it only brings confusion, anxiety and fear, which brings us into more problems, stress and sicknesses. See, SPIRITUAL HEALING: DISEASES CAUSED BY LUCIFER
Why it is so? The Physical Mind is not only in our brain, but the combined memory of all our cells. If the spirit has sensitivity to feel God and the spirit world, the Physical Mind can never connect to them no matter how much it tries. It's not created for that. It's the Spiritual Mind that constantly feels God and knows everything from the spirit world.
At moments when your spiritual mind is subject becomes easy to love others and feel deepest faith. This is the most natural state of our spirit. It happens without any effort. But because of the fall, our spiritual mind is constantly being subjugated under the lies and manipulations of our external logic of the brain (our physical mind), which objects any of his attempts to guide us.
Physical Mind Always Reverses God's Principles
First it is important to learn to distinguish between the spiritual mind and the physical mind.Most of the thinking people do is from the physical mind, so it naturally leads them to humanism: Reversal of all God's principles. Same like Physical mind reverses dominion over spiritual mind, it will lead them to put object over subject, horizontal over vertical, external and material things over internal and spiritual...
(1) Php.M. cannot see God's view - it cannot feel God's Heart.
(2) Ph.M. created to be Object to the Sp.M (Is out of it's proper position)
(3) Ph.M constantly reverses dominion over the Sp.M
(4) Ph.M. multiplies evil, propagating Satan's philosophy
So the more people were thinking how to solve things, the more they developed the Humanistic (Cain-type) philosophy in the history, But to solve problems you have to stop thinking with your brain, relax and liberate yourself from all these external problems.
How to Put Your Spiritual Mind Subject
Once you relax your physical mind, your spiritual mind can become subject in this state you can easily visualize. Once you achieve it you will realize how sharp, awake and precise your mind is this is your spiritual mind this is your true self it is always connected to God.For example, Rev. Moon suggests, to think of the principle figures and live yourself to fall asleep. When you wake up your spiritual sensitivity will be very strong. True Mother, Hak Ja Han, also in 1993 stressed how important is to develop our spiritual sensitivity quickly, not to be misled by evil spirits.
After while this state will become habit, so you can naturally put your spiritual mind on top, each time you want. You will discover that your heart will open to feel the hearts of the other people and God's heart about everything. This is the reason I can always perceive what kind of spirit world is around. I can sense the moment when people's mind shifts and allows evil spirit world to work through them.
Our spirit mind is wonderful. It has amazing power. It knows everything. As True Father said, we should learn to talk to our inner mind and ask things we want to know or solve. There is no information unknown to our own inner self.
"The spirit world is a world of intuition where, within a week, you can surpass the knowledge of any intellectual.. By seeing things through the light of your heart, you will automatically understand the world and all its related connections. Only through the heart of love will you understand..." Rev. Sun Myung Moon, CSGSee the mystery of the power of our spirit and imagine what's possible if it's not stuck under the physical mind limitations and limiting concepts.
Your Spirit Mind Automatically Tunes to God's Will
Question: Sometimes when I'm praying about something very serious or that I'm concerned about I feel that God let's me see exactly his viewpoint on that problem. Sometime I pray about a person (once i was praying for someone on the cosmic level and two days later there was news about her on the TV). But still I never thought about it in the way you are explaining right now…Answer: When you spiritual mind is subject you automatically sense what God wants you to pray for. So you pray about it and soon you discover that it happened on global scale. That's because you tune and sense the providential things before they happen. Your spiritual mind automatically tunes to this which the whole good spirit world is praying and working for. So it's not just our prayer that made it happen, but that all good spiritual forces united efforts to bring it fulfilled. That's why when people unite their mind and body (putting their spiritual mind as subject) automatically the whole humanity will live as one united harmonious family where everyone will naturally follow God's will, since our spiritual mind always know it and aligns with it.
Comment: Yes. I absolutely believe that we should talk to our inner mind. I find it has many answers, but I never thought about it as being subject (not in the way you are explaining).
Spirit mind works based on images
Spirit mind works based on images. Each word immediately creates spiritual image and the heart automatically responds sensing if the word had good or bad energy. Thus spirit mind automatically separates good from evil. I sense the spiritual energy behind each word or expression, thus when I write my articles automatically create common base and open the original mind of the people who read. This is the reason my internet spiritual children start having the spiritual sense of being liberated, elevated and suddenly loving all people and all things more than before, because the words elevate their spiritual minds. In this way the word brings them resurrection.I'm always sensitive to the spiritual powers around. Negative articles about us use a lot of negative words. They open the evil mind of the reader and he gets obsessed by evil spiritual world. In this state even a good person's heart gets full of fear, anger and hate. But I take these articles and change the negative words with once that are spiritually bright and carry good bright emotions. Than it becomes a channel for the good spirit world to fill their hearts instead.
Our physical mind cannot recognize what's good and evil, and in fact it always misleads us to accept the evil as good. Example: Humanists think they are doing the highest good, when in fact they are destroying their children spiritually.
Comment: Gosh. I've not seen it clearly put like that. I mean it is quite mind opening…
The Real Meaning of Mind and Body Unity
What I explained is written in the first pages of Divine Principle. If you read carefully, Mind and Body unity is in fact Spiritual mind and Physical mind unity. Because of the Fall our physical mind became subject and our spiritual mind got imprisoned, incapable to express and grow. Thus we lost our spiritual sensitivity to God and the truth. Divine Principle is very clear; Unless we develop our spiritual sensitivity to God here on earth there is no way we can feel and connect to God in the spirit world. In our age, the way to achieve that is open.Anyway, try what I told you... and we talk again. Relax completely when praying and visualize what you're saying. Report in the morning and before sleeping, visualizing the results you want and sincerely talking to God. Always go to asleep with principle thoughts and after resolving any conflicts of the day (at list visualize embracing, forgiving, resolving if there was something wrong during the day). Remember, your original mind cannot work when you are anxious, confused, nervous, worrying. That's a common base with evil spirit world, because it is energy with heavy, dark frequency. See the chart..
QUESTION:
Why was the fall of man so devastating to man's spirit? Why would the fall reverse the subject-object relationship between man's physical and spiritual entities?
ANSWER:
Good question. The fall was premature sexual relationship. Their spirit was not yet matured to be subject. Thus physical love on the level of physical mind gave the birth to physical mind descendants. Stuck under the physical mind, the spirit mind of the consequent generations could only mature to the providential level of the age.
The biggest problem was that physical mind is ignorant of God and the universal laws. Humanity was left without connection to God. God could barely find anyone more developed spiritually to give at list a bit of the information helpful for the growth of our spirit. Took thousands and thousands of year to gradually get out of this ignorance.
Since such spiritual people got only parts of the truth, different religions appeared. Often blocking each other's way towards restoring God's ideal. This was so painful for God. Religion was never the purpose. Religions were to help our spirit grow until we reach the real connection with God. Only now, the Divine Principle explains everything.
Why Physical Mind Leads to Humanism
Our spiritual mind never searches for joy in a selfish way and without God. But our physical mind (the brain) is not created to be able to connect to God, so it cannot understand joy with God even if it kills itself trying. Physical mind is created to care for self survival (the individual goal) so automatically it worries about everything and mislead us to be self-centered even when thinking to live for God. But the thing is, physical mind is not created to be the Subject. So it's the spiritual mind's weakness and immaturity that allows physical mind to lead us. The wickeder ones spiritual mind the more external and humanistic is the person. No matter how good from humanistic perspective he is, he will always be a channel for evil spiritual world, he will always be misled by his physical mind to reverse dominion on many levels, because he will never be able to see and follow God's viewpoint when led by his physical mind.Read more: The most dangerous religious sect: HUMANISM
Thanks for this message. Very inspiring and worth reading again. Ed
ReplyDeletePhysical mind is comprised of three gunas ie, thamas, rajas and sathvam. The sathva guna will never raise but it exists untouched. Once we start realising ourselves, WHO AM I? REASON FOR MY BIRTH , THE WAY TO GET RID OF FAILURES IN MY LIFE etc., - the so called spirit - eagerness to know the TRUE - the sathva guna will only dominiate in our mind. Once it is developed, our mind goes towards the JeevaAthma and then Jeevathma rests at the feet of the God. Once we realised this and interestingly our mind starts ignoring attachment on the materialistic objects. We will get eternal bliss only.
ReplyDeleteWe have physical body and spiritual body. The center of our spirit is our spiritual mind, where God dwells. While the center controlling the physical body is the brain (physical mind).
ReplyDeleteThese Spiritual and Physical minds are in constant give ant take. The physical desires come from the physical mind, responsible for self preservation, while the spiritual desires leading to God and spiritual growth.
Divine Principle - General Introduction
The Fall brought humanity in ignorance. Because of ignorance our physical (animal) minds have dominated our feelings, desires, passions and actions. Because of ignorance the world was filled with distrust, corruption, misuse and selfishness. Because of ignorance after this life people ended deformed in the spirit world, as it is depicted in the book, "A Wanderer in the Spirit Land". And because of ignorance, even there they continued with their evil, self-destructive deeds.
An easy and convenient way to attach your mind and body with each other is to develop your spirituality with a right way. By doing this you can control both of them at a time and will not have to worry about yourself anymore.
ReplyDeleteYes, Mind and Body unity had been perceived in two ways: By pushing the body down through fasting, cold water or other means (Old Testament - body way). The other way is to nurture your spirit through Prayer and reading of the word (New Testament - spirit way).
ReplyDeleteBut the highest way is through Living for the Sake of Other - the way of Heart - loving and sacrificing for others (The Completed Testament way). When the spirit is developed it can easily guide and control the body in the right direction - so the body will become good. This is mind and body unity.
