Yet wisdom comes from going beyond the elementary constructions of identity from investigating who this is that walks talks are using quarrels. When we go beyond we develop a larger sense of self. A major step in this progression is the discovery of the undivided mind. One in which the splits produced by discrimination are healed. This is what I meant the other day when I spoke of the internal and external being united, of the body and mind becoming one, yet the unifying of mind remains the same structure as the divided one, it has not yet gone beyond, it is not the no self. What then is no self, look at the words, it is a state of being in which the self is absent can be in a very concentrated state, be in a sort of Samadhi and still have the sense of self haven't yet gone all the way. And it is a state of being in which the self is absent, there is no self center, no habit of self reference, everything else and experience is the same as before, but the quality of being has become radically different, is usually the case that the appearance of no mind depends on the prior integration of the mind. So as long as self and its object are separate, the one regarding the other, there is duality. The split mind of discrimination cannot transcend its own habits. You cannot experience release into no mind from a divided mind, you can only do it from a unified one. Where there is no self, we may say there is no mind. For in this perspective, the ordinary ordinary mind is the activity of self. Practice therefore focuses on methods that unify the mind what we're all doing here, whatever our practice is, whatever our method is, he says we discover ourselves as whole beings through practice. Gradually, as we master the mental processes, and bring about calming and integration. So we master ourselves. This is the wealth thatched roof, we gained control over the monkey mind.
