The beauty of a mind a mind that has no problems and therefore no experience.

[Faceless]

 The moment you have an experience and hold onto it then that becomes memory. Then that memory is chased and longed for to become experienced again and again. Then arises pleasure and where there is pleasure there is fear and pain, ‘problems’ 

 

 As long as there is a center ‘the self’ there must be problems.. as long as there is a movement that i must be enlightened, become a spiritual success, develop a quiet mind, conflict is inevitable. Conflict arises in the ‘i’ who must become or the ‘i’ who must not do this or that. 

 

 The center is the essence of inattention. When there is total attention there is no center. The moment the ‘u’ creeps in there is inattention. And the center with its inattention creates all psychological problems.

 

A mind free of problems/experiences is an art. This is the art of living.

Funny how death leads to it
You need to die in order to live and see the cycle. A positive feedback loop. Completely counter-intuitive.

@Faceless  Isn't the problem being described the exclusive self-identity's segregated subject/object relationship with experience? Whereas, in truth, consciousness and experience are not-two.

?good call 

Die every minute to live every minute. A constant process of dying is a constant process of living. To live in the dynamic ‘present moment’, the static ‘accumulation of the self and it’s content or the past’, must end. Otherwise the past is imposed on the present moment. That which is old, dead, ‘experience’ becomes an impression onto each moment which is alive and active and therefore projections manifest from that. Therefore one is never free from recognition. So nothing is new or there is never a sense of creativity....This is the prison of memory, knowledge, and experience. 

This is why I think most people say they can’t live in the present. I would say this is the root of all psychological problems.

I would say they are the same. Yeah fragmentation, segmentation, create the confusion, contradiction, conflict. When we look at ourselves the subject is the object.

Consciousness and experience are not two. 

Do you think there are strict "laws" to consciousness, or do you thing anything is possible. If you saw a man breaking the laws of "physics" and fly over your head, would you be surprised?

Or if you were able to levitate just because you want to, how surprising would that be to you, giving your understanding?

Your consciousness is composed of memory, knowledge, experience.

The self ‘thought’ and it’s consciousness is the accumulation of memory, knowledge, and experience/experiences...

when that is emptied only then is the mind/consciousness free

If I were in the space-station, then not very surprising at all. But again, the 'laws' of nature need not be incompatible with explaining phenomenal events in terms of the primacy of consciousness. So within a given rule-set, phenomena would still have to conform to those conditions.  However, I've witnessed poltergeist phenomena, wherein objects apparently defied gravity, and were somehow propelled off a table, with no physical causation. This would just be one example of how science freed from the confines of materialism could be used to explore such paranormal events.
