Part I - 3. The Rational Mind

1.  What is the rational mind?   Can we trust the rational mind?  Is "right" a concept perceived through our limited understanding?  Was Judas doing right from his own point of view?

2.  Once we act, we are subject to the karma (law of cause and effect) of our actions.  If we illegally smuggle something, we put this body into the field of cause and effect of that game.

3.  Therefore, if we want to attain the highest goal, we must be aware with the freedom of this body so we have the ability to flow anywhere, anytime.

4.  This also means freedom of mind.  The mind must have less attachments, which is another word for limitations.  

5.  Therefore, the discriminative power in man can be used to give the mind useful attachments, such as good diet and good things which help evolve the mind and body.

6.  And this power can be used also to reject useless attachments which are not good for growth.  This does not mean the things themselves should necessarily be thrown away, but if the situation arises for these things to be left somewhere else, they can be.

7.  Attachment is duality as there are no two things separate in reality.

8.  Definition of Attachment: the power which keeps the mind in the field of believing itself separate from something else.  Once we know the Self is everywhereness, there remains nothing to which we can be attached.  And there remains nobody to have attachment.
