Theos-Talk Archives (March 2004 Message tt00484)

Ananda,
Yes, it has that appearance to us all somatically, but the real question 
is:
"What's doing that action?" Until a significant percentile of mankind
can accurately answer that on a moment to moment basis how can 
there be change? Patanjali stated the common resource found in us
all and identified it for us all "the Conditioned Mind" which is the 
single
solitary universal common denominator that is causative of the actions
across time and millennia. How can one have mindful awareness without
watching the principal agency that originates the undesirable
production? Mankind cannot stop what it refuses to become aware of.
John
