Dualistic qualities of mind

[Vynce]

While meditating and especially in high conscious states via psychedelics I notice that being mindful can have two very different qualities. On the one hand, there is mind activity with itself, like contemplating, playing with thoughts and memories and doing life related think work. All happening in the mind. 

On the other hand, there is mind activity with what is. Noticing sounds, feeling body sensations or noticing neutrality or nothing specific. All happening in the mind. (Given that you awoken from the materialistic paradigm)

But why does mind activity with itself make me miserable, shameful, depressed and lethargic? Contrary, mind activity with what is, makes me creative, joyful and most of the times fills me with liveliness. 

But if we transcend the boundary between mind activity in ego mind and god mind, there is just mind. So my thoughts are just as part of reality and this laptop here. Why do these two things couched in the same mind produce such different states of mind?

It's like 'being so lost in the movie you're watching that you completely forget you're watching a movie' vs. 'watching a movie while being aware you are watching a movie'.

You are drawing unnecessary distinctions.

Words like "two" and "different states" need to ultimately be collapsed. There is only one state, and that state is one of Being Infinitely Conscious.

There is nothing separate from this state, You have been in the same state for eternity.

@Vynce Simple. There are thoughts you like, and thoughts you don’t. When you believe thoughts you like, you feel good. When you believe thoughts you don’t like, you don’t feel good. Part of this work is to become aware of thoughts you don’t like and let them go.

Truth.

Conceptualization. 

(Self referential thoughts aren’t true). 

To get off the ‘roller coaster’ of self conceptualization, the emotional scale. 

Let go of ‘makes me’.
