There's an old saying that goes, "There is no peace of mind. There is either peace or mind." Either we are in and of the mind, or we are at peace. Use this simple track as a reminder that we can return to peace beyond the mind, or maybe beneath the mind, in any moment.

Peace or mind.

There's an old saying that goes there really is no peace of mind there is only either peace or mind.

Peace or mind.

But we can use the mind as an entry point into the peace that lies beyond the mind.

You might listen to these words and let go of making sense of the words.

Even experience them as if they were a foreign language that you didn't understand.

They begin to become just sound.

Just sensation.

The subjective moves into the objective.

Starts to become just experience.

There is neither good nor bad.

No interpretation.

No label.

No story.

There is just this.

And just this is peace.

Peace or mind.

Intriguing concept but the mind brings us to an awareness of the existence of peace and its pursuit. Then one uses the mind to quiet the chatter initially pursued for survival of hyper vigilance morphed into a twisted hyper state of consciousness fear of Not: not knowing enough, not getting enough, not looking enough, not having enough, not being in the Right place, being seen and admired, not and not and not. One intentionally must strive to quiet the mind and fear of โ€œnotโ€ in the moment to sink into the edge of soft, quiet, deep and penetrating new world of peace uniting with oneโ€™s Creator and of all that is. Like an addictive substance, peace pulls one in for M O R E. Ever softer, ever quieter, ever deeper until ever cells is thrilled and hooker for everMore. Thank you for another taste by using my mind to enjoy the peace of your voice and your timing. Not a criticism but rather an observation: I think you might have made your point more effectively if you somehow pronounced the words clearly (which you did) but perhaps saying each word in different manners higher tone to base tone, longer and slower versus sharp and quick. I would describe it as playful without losing comprehension of your subject. The volume and musical style was very effective. For the short talk, Iโ€™ve spent already 30 minutes journaling and writing this to you. Very effective. And very Thought provoking. In pursuit of Peace. Blessings to you and all on this journey. Warmly, Anne

I love this! Peace, or Mind. Why did I feel like I wished it were longer, lol?! I think because it brought me into peace instead of mind. Thank you for this!

So simple but what an effective message! I listened to it twice in a row & laughed when I heard in the 2nd go-through that I didn't even have to listen to the words. That's what I did the 1st time, hence the need to listen to it twice๐Ÿ˜„.
