The Puppeteer and Understanding Your Mind pt 1 of 3
Read carefully the definition of 'puppeteer'(from wikipedia):
"A puppeteer is a person who manipulates an inanimate object—a puppet—in real time to create the illusion of life. The puppeteer may be visible to or hidden from the audience. A puppeteer can operate a puppet indirectly by the use of strings, rods, wires, electronics or directly by his or her own hands placed inside the puppet or holding it externally. Some puppet styles require puppeteers to work together as a team to create a single puppet character."
You are the puppeteer and your thinking mind is the object that has the illusion of life. You created this mis-identification without your fault or anyone to blame. You have created yourself to be a marionette. You have handed control over to your thinking mind, such as your emotional thoughts and beliefs and past experiences which you believe to be is you, that you think is alive, but is in fact an illusion. You may believe that your mind is your center of who you are and therefore does not really need any deeper improvement. If you choose to not live in ignorance and begin searching for true knowledge about yourself, you will be closer to your real, authentic nature and will climb the ladder towards higher states of awareness. Your personality is not bad and has nothing to do with thinking mind. It is the fear caused by the thinking mind that compromises the personality. These afflictions are the cause of some ignorance within us (that we ignore either deliberately or without our awareness). Because we identify ourselves only with the thinking mind, the behavior and actions we have are mostly out of our control -- especially the emotional behavior which arises within you almost automatically without your control (emotions have a much quicker speed than the intellect, read Slow Down part 1). Therefore ignorance is a delusional sickness.
If we believe the mind to be our center or in control then we fall asleep. We fall asleep in our tunnel vision that we have created, blind to reality and blind to choice. When we do this we have given complete control to the subconscious mind and therefore let it run almost entirely on auto-pilot -- that is why we fall asleep. We have created an emotional puppet and the result is that we are the marionettes. If we want to win control then we must look impersonally at the way we function in life. We must look honestly and observe how our thinking mind behaves and the nature of it. If we look honestly and impersonally, the truth is there. The truth is in understanding our nature. Remember the mind is ONLY the result of the conglomeration of past experiences, emotional thoughts, and beliefs and DNA. This is ignorance because we are much bigger then what the mind attempts to know and the mind is limited in its capabilities because it takes information from your limited 5 senses but then turns it into a 2D image inside your mind. The more you rely on the thinking mind for answers, the more 2D everything becomes and then you are in a dream because a dream is not alive!
This is connected to Duality & Desire which I will be discussing soon.

All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world."

The Addiction to Your 'Story'
We are attached and addicted to our 'Story', which is a self-defense system that protects who we 'think' we are. We are not the story, the story is not a physical thing and is not alive, it is just a story! It is important but it does not run the show, we do. We are always looking to either enhance our story, weaken our story, or reject from out story. If it runs the show, the afflictions that you may know as the seven deadly sins arise. If things go your way or not your way, you will experience the following (not limited to):
- Jealousy
- Vanity
- Offense
- Greed
- Lust
- Self-Sabotage
- Fear
- Hate
- Pride
- Revenge
- Apathy
- Worry
- Fear
- Impatience
- Victim of your story
- Addiction
Examples of further actions we do to others because of 'my Story':
- making another feel guilty of their story because of their background, religion, color of skin, country born in, etc
- murdering in order to stop another's story
The post Duality & Desire explains these further.
It does not make sense to believe you are your actual story because you are right here. Your story is not alive, you are. For example if you believe you were something that happened to you when you were a child, then you would also believe you were something that you experienced yesterday morning. But this is just information that you collected in your brain. How can you be the same person you were just 5 seconds ago or to where you were years ago. Even your body changes. Even your emotional thoughts. The story is just reflections that appear in your thinking mind's eye and you are putting an emotional story together when you see the reflection. It is just a reflection. Reflections are not 'bad', it is not alive. There are only GOOD reflections. It's like you looking into a mirror or lake but you are believing the reflection is actually you, it is not ALIVE! It is just information. You are not any of this. Your story only reveals how you got here in the present (be they good choices or 'bad' choices). The present is what dictates what happens in the next moment. You are right here, we must accept the only reality which exists -- which is right now. This is difficult to grasp because you have always thought you are your story. Your story is JUST the result of what you experienced. Observe this well with sincerity to connect the logic. So it is only the past that can REVEAL your actual story, you can't know what will happen in the future. If you think you are your story this will send you down a path full of chaotic decisions.

In the News: Scientists say Jupiter Moon Landing Best Shot at Finding Habitable World

Scientists say Jupiter moon landing best shot at finding habitable world
New research indicates Jupiter’s moon Europa is the most likely spot in our solar system to support life outside of the Earth, and NASA is currently developing a mission to explore the planet's icy shell and a subsurface ocean that may resemble our own.
New research indicates that Jupiter’s moon Europa is the most likely spot in our solar system to support life outside Earth. It comes as NASA develops a mission to land on and explore the moon’s ocean, which may closely resemble Earth's salty oceans.
Leading planetary researchers have published a paper detailing plans for a possible “lander” to be launched within the next decade. The plan includes instruments resembling those used by the Mars Curiosity rover, such as a drill and a complement of cameras. According to the paper - published this week in the journal Astrobiology - the frozen, crackled surface of the moon is a compelling choice for robot landers.
What makes Europa an appealing target for planetary scientists is its subsurface ocean of liquid water - evidence for which was first collected by flybys of robotic probes, including Voyager in the 1980s and Galileo in the 1990s.
The moon is thought to be affected by Jupiter’s huge gravitational presence, which scientists suspect generates tidal forces that heat the interior of the celestial body and drive geologic activity similar to plate tectonics. Of particular interest are the dark, reddish fractures present throughout the surface of the moon’s ice shell that suggest that water has welled up and frozen on the moon’s surface.

Of particular interest are the dark, reddish fractures present throughout the surface of the moon’s ice shell that suggest that water has welled up and frozen on the moon’s surface.
NASA scientists have previously suggested that the red spots on Europa’s surface mean that the moon acts as a sort of lava lamp, carrying material from near the surface down into its ocean, potentially transporting living organisms up towards the surface as well.
Europa could potentially host extraterrestrial life, due to its liquid ocean and warmer core which is thought to be similar to Earth’s deep-water hydrothermal vents.
“Landing on the surface of Europa would be a key step in the astrobiological investigation of that world,”said Chris McKay, a senior editor of the Astrobiology journal, who is based at NASA Ames Research Center in California.
“This paper outlines the science that could be done on such a lander,” said McKay. “The hope would be that surface materials, possibly near the linear crack features, include biomarkers carried up from the ocean.”
Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei first discovered Europa in 1610. It wasn't until NASA’s Galileo reached the Jupiter system in 1995 that scientists were able to study the moon’s surface in greater detail.
Since then, some research has speculated that Europa’s ocean may be fed by far more oxygen than was previously thought. Research produced by scientist Richard Greenberg at the University of Arizona in Tucson in 2009 theorized that beyond microscopic organisms, the moon’s ocean could support some three million tons of fish-like creatures.

"There's nothing saying there is life there now," said Greenberg, who presented his work at a meeting of the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences in 2009. "But we do know there are the physical conditions to support it."
So far, however, speculations of life on Europa are based on calculations of flybys and imagery of its surface, as well as evidence collected by instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope and the Galileo spacecraft – both of which have confirmed the presence of an atmospheric layer composed mostly of molecular oxygen.

“The highest priority is active sampling of Europa's non-ice material from at least two different depths (0.5–2 cm and 5–10 cm) to understand its detailed composition and chemistry and the specific nature of salts, any organic materials, and other contaminants,” said the new report.
“A secondary focus is geophysical prospecting of Europa, through seismology and magnetometry, to probe the satellite's ice shell and ocean.”
The next steps for NASA and other space programs like the European Space Agency (ESA) will be to further map out the surface of Europa and select a prime landing spot for a robotic lander. NASA’s Juno probe is currently scheduled to orbit around the Jupiter system in 2016.
Meanwhile, the ESA plans to launch its JUICE mission (Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer) in 2022 aboard an Ariane 5 rocket, arriving at Jupiter in 2030 and spending some three years exploring the planet’s moons, including Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.
A number of previous plans to explore Europa have been abandoned since the early 2000s, including the Europa Lander Mission, which proposed a nuclear-powered lander. Another project known as Ice Clipper - which would have used an impactor similar to NASA’s Deep Impact mission – was also scrapped. The Deep Impact mission launched into Earth’s moon in 2005, generating a plume of debris which was then studied by a smaller spacecraft.

Heaven in Thought: Thich Nhat Hanh
“As long as our ancestors are still suffering within us, we cannot be truly happy. If we make a step with awareness …, we do this for all the past and future generations. They all arrive at the same moment we arrive and we all find peace at the same time.”- Thich Nhat Hanh
The body is inherited from our parents and ancestors. Therefore, emotions must be inherited as well. If that is the case, then how are we responsible for our emotional afflictions? Are we even responsible? And if not, are we therefore now responsible (as in able to respond) to make a change, stop the madness of our emotions controlling us? And therefore literally change our DNA for the new generations? Something to ponder ....

Heaven in Thought: Eamon Loughrey
"Imagine that our True selves are a needle in a very large haystack.Each straw is a life experience.We examine each straw and analyse it.What we need to do is to burn the straw and the needle shall be left.The needle has always been there.The straw was never real.
Where does it lead to?
The fact is that by analysing the straw we can never find the needle, and we waste valuable time.
... Those that are stopped looking for themselves in the straw will understand the above analogy.Those that are looking for themselves in the straw will continue to look in the straw."
