Key 8.
Moderating your mindberg.
Icebergs form when the poles of the Earth come out of 24-hour nighttime and warm up.
Gigantic slabs of ice separate off and drift on the current.
The tips of the iceberg are stunning in their form,
Diversity and complexity.
All are destined to die as they melt as they migrate southwards to warmer climes.
They are born from the heat of the sun's rays and they die from the same irradiation.
Beneath each tip lies 90% or so of the mass of the iceberg.
When we see the tip we only see a fraction of its beauty.
The parts of all icebergs beneath the waves are connected with each other through the molecules of water in the ocean.
If a tip of an iceberg was able to see the tip of another iceberg,
It would be blissfully unaware of how they were connected together.
It wouldn't have a clue that its path through the ocean was dictated by the tides controlled by the moon and the winds stirred up by the Earth's rotation.
It wouldn't know that the ice molecules that it was made from were once clouds that fell as rain.
Some rain fell right back into the ocean and some fell on land.
The rain that fell on land formed mighty rivers.
Some water in the rivers was drunk by animals,
Some irrigated plants.
The tip of the iceberg would be oblivious to its place in the scheme of things.
It would have no idea that it was so similar to the conscious minds of the self-aware land animals called humans.
Our conscious mind is miniscule when compared with the vastness of our unconscious mind.
Likewise too,
The conscious mind of most humans is blissfully unaware that the mind that it is unconscious of floats beneath the surface of an infinite sea of awareness.
Just being aware of the interconnectedness of things is the first step to moderating your mind work.
