Mind is what you inhabit at all times. Everything else is an inference (such as the existence of the ‘material’ world). Our language is still badly embedded with preconceptions that do not reflect or help create an accurate picture of reality.
But we know this: we are all in mind, all the time. All our experience is in mind. You cannot escape being in consciousness all the time.
You may bang your foot on a rock… and it is in your mind (which does not mean it is fake, or a fantasy, or any other unjustified conclusion… but it is in your mind).
You may feel love, or hate, or pain, or pleasure… and it is in your mind. You may think electrons exist, or atoms, or molecules, or scientific models and think that this is ‘real’… but it is all in your mind.
What is in your mind may be in the minds of others, or reflected in reality, or dreams, or shared by no other. Regardless it is ALL in your mind.
You, we, are in consciousness first and always.
The Energy Body is my term for this reality that we are always in mind, always in the energy body, experiencing through it, experiencing as it. Influenced by, embedded within, energy which contains first and foremost… mind-consciousness-awareness; thoughts and feelings!
The Way is the way of waking up to this true, obvious reality and recognizing it for what it is, of letting the preconceptions, models, beliefs, language traps, and all else fall away to the greatest extent possible and claiming your true power.
