The liberator 2

The power of mind is normally used to suppress the power of mind. We are born that way, and often family and society supports this suppression.
The extreme opposite, a totally free and open mind is spontaneously quite difficult to endure for most individuals. It seems to have no stable points, nothing to relate to and nothing to refer to.
We can organise our life in many different ways, but if we choose one way we should stick to that. So we get conventions which are good in practical situations, but not good in any absolute meaning. These conventions can block access to the full truth, in particular if they contain ideas about ideologies or religious dogmas which can not be questioned.
Conventions are no block to total reality if everything can be questioned, and if we see the conventions as just temporary conventions and nothing more.
For mind itself it is difficult to look through its own limitations. We try to learn facts, rather than learn to question every observation. This difficulty is just a transitory stage, happily.
If we open mind and see that it can be used not only for routine operations about daily habits and material support, we find a state of harmony which is stronger and safer than any good feelings we might have with a mind blocked in suppression.
Then the power of mind will be used by mind to explore the full power of mind. For the individual this can be experienced as being born again.
The liberation of mind is a task for every individual. Others can not do it for us, but others can open our eyes and others can help remove disturbing external factors like dictators and irritating people.
