Episode notes
Mind as Water
- Humans rest on their minds like a bird floats on water, mistaking the mind's state for their own.
- The mind, like water, is naturally calm unless external forces create ripples (thoughts).
The Bird and the Water
- Michael Singer tells a story of a bird stuck in water, forgetting how to fly.
- The bird becomes obsessed with controlling the water's state, believing it determines its well-being.
Natural State of Mind
- The natural state of mind is calm and peaceful, not thinking nice things, but empty.
- In deep meditation, the mind becomes still, like a mirror reflecting your true self.
