The thinking modes: Beyond karma and samsara

In my everyday life I attempt to apply (and wholehartedly recommend it to every one) a method of thinking with (the help of) the self, and choose it as superior to pure mind- thinking. These are two profoundly different ways as two opposite streching paths at a crossroads of mind. As the 2nd one loses its wisdom-awarness horizon for the sake of faulty mechanical nature of speculation, the 1st method leads the 'aspirant' (the thinker) directly to wisdom. This does not apply the mere seemingly established in the mind perceptive data thinking processes, which are empty as buddist teachings proclaim. The awarness of the thinking speculative mind limitations liberates the thinker from them, and so whatever is perceived, all the abundance of the countless phenomena is annuled as the aspirant redirects his mind from the ilusory phenomenal "what I see' to "what is being perceived by me here and now". This is called self-observation. In consequence it is leading to upper reflective states of mind, actually, self-being, not speculative.

Thus, here, it is the scope through which one can get the clearer understanding of the basic structures of human religio-culturally identified customized behaviours which in their continuity and regularity of their expansiveness squeez out the self-born reflexive and independent nature of the mindful self. Actually, it cannot be described neither as spontaneous or non-spontaneous as we are used to get those terms wrongly, so let it be inexpressible and unspeakable as it is.

Practically, it is put total emphasis on the value, on the content (essence) and quality of such a thinking mode, not - quantity. It concernes all the actions the self-mind is involved in, and furthermore, the mindful state helps to stop and to overcome all the mental-emotional obstructions, tensions and afflictions.

The first simple principle: no action even recognized as the most noble and expected in this world (of fiction) has a greater value than the pure state of the self-presence, the self-being, which is inexpressible (hinduistic 'beyond' or turiya, buddist 'prajnaparamita' or 'the other shore consciousness') that is brought into circulation by the reflective mindfulness of that upper mind - the unlimited mind above the mind.

The mindful mode de facto consists in doing actions beyond karma, beyond cause and effect or may be kept close to it.
