Trinity of Psychological Experience

(Length 01:27) from The Washington Lectures

What is Mind, Consciousness and Thought?
Mind is the intelligence of all things; Consciousness makes you aware; and Thought is like the rudder of a ship. It guides you through life and if you learn to use that rudder properly, you can guide your way through life far better than you ever imagined. You can go from one reality to another. You can find your happiness and when illusionary sadness comes from memories, you don't try to figure it out. Please don't try to do that - you'll get yourself in trouble. All you have to do is realize that it's Thought.

The second you realize that it's Thought, you are touching the very essence of psychological experience. You're back to the "now," you're back to happiness. So don't get caught up on a lot of details.

In this world, the smaller it is, the more powerful it is, the simpler it is. Mind, Consciousness and Thought - that's very simple. That's the answer.

Psychological and Spiritual Trio

from The Enlightened Gardener

Janet asked Andy, "How do our five senses fit into the picture of the three principles?"

Andy asked for a few minutes to think about the question. At last he answered her. "The way I see it, Janet, is this: Our five senses—smelling, tasting, touching, hearing and seeing—are the tools nature gave us to assist in experiencing life. However, as important as they are, they are of no value unless they are activated by the spiritual trio—Mind, Consciousness and Thought."

Andy's words took me by surprise, just as they had taken Janet, and I most definitely needed some time to think about his answer. I had a profusion of unanswered questions buzzing around in my head, and I was quite sure the others did as well. I asked Andy why he put so much emphasis on the three principles.

"Because," he asserted, "Mind, Consciousness and Thought are the psychological trinity of all human experience on earth. They are the hidden pearls that lead us to our true identity."

Understanding the Correlation

from The Enlightened Gardener

“Let me put it another way,” he said. “It is my belief that life is a cosmic stage. To enable us to play our part in this universal drama, we were given the three special gifts I just mentioned. But keep in mind, these three gifts are completely neutral. It is what you as a thinker do with them that is important.

Still a bit puzzled, I said, “Are you saying that if we can understand the correlation between Universal Mind, Universal Consciousness and Universal Thought, this understanding will bring us some of the answers that we seek?”

With a nod of his head, and another smile beginning to play at the corners of his mouth, Andy simply replied, “Yes.”

The Equalizer

(Length 01:20) from The Salt Spring Island Conversations

When you’re ready, you will find what you’re looking for. I don’t care who you are. I don’t care where you are. If you’re in the middle of the Sahara Desert…and it’s time for you to find the answer, the right person will appear in the middle of the desert and let you know. He will say something to you that will trigger something inside you.

And that’s where that life comes from…inside out. It’s spiritual knowledge. It’s there, everybody has it and people don’t realize that. There’s no human being more spiritual than you—everybody is equal.

And you know what the equality is?

That we all derive from Mind, Consciousness and Thought.

That’s the equalizer. And while you have that equalizer you’re as good as anybody on this earth, you’re as holy as anybody else on this earth. You always have been, always will be, the only thing is you don’t see it because of your thoughts.
