The Power of Your Supermind

1. Awaken to Your Supermind: The True Self Beyond Conditioned Thought.

The Supermind is free of all negative conditioning.

Beyond ordinary thought. The Supermind represents a higher mental faculty, a state of pure awareness or consciousness that transcends our everyday, conditioned human thought. It is your true self, often referred to as the "silent mind" or the "Kingdom of Heaven within," existing far above the limitations of acquired opinions, beliefs, and mechanical reactions that typically lead to trouble. This exalted state is not merely intellectual knowledge but a profound personal experience that uplifts everything.

Escape conditioning. Our conditioned mind, molded since birth, is a collection of stored memories and habitual ways, useful for daily tasks but incapable of grasping spiritual truth. Attempting to use this limited mind to find reality is like a dog tied to a post trying to explore the world. Genuine spirituality requires breaking into the unknown and unconditioned, letting go of false assumptions about the Supermind and allowing it to surprise you with its newness.

Your inherent power. The Supermind exists within everyone, though most remain "asleep" to it. Your entire purpose on Earth is to awaken to its unfoldments, realizing its practical power to clear the "human jungle" of endless frustrations. As you raise your inner level through this awakening, exterior problems fall away, and you cease to be their victim, gaining true control over your life.

2. Your Inner World Dictates Your Outer Reality.

You must place your Inner World first in your order of thinking.

Two worlds, one reality. You simultaneously inhabit two worlds: the Outer World of physical circumstances (body, people, finances) and the Inner World of your thoughts, feelings, and insights. The fundamental truth is that your Inner World controls and determines your Outer World. Prioritizing your inner, spiritual kingdom is paramount, as it is the source of all external experiences and conditions.

Inner control, outer ease. Living from your psychic world simplifies life, replacing fumbling and anxiety with clarity and ease. Painful decisions, for instance, become unnecessary when you operate from the Supermind, as contradictory desires vanish, leaving no opposing forces to choose between. You simply flow triumphantly with life, unconcerned with its external movements.

The true purpose. While planning for external affairs like a future home is necessary, insisting on planning future happiness postpones present enjoyment. True happiness is found in the "now." By consistently placing your Inner World first, you become at home in both realms, realizing that esoteric enlightenment is found within your own mind, not in distant lands.

3. Embrace "Gain Through Loss": Shed the False Self to Find True Value.

Don't be afraid to let go of this acquired, invented identity; this false feeling of "I."

The chief illusion. Humanity's primary illusion, breeding all others, is a false sense of self—an acquired, invented identity that is not who you truly are. This "imaginary 'I'" is the source of conflict, chaos, and suffering, much like a magician hypnotizing sheep into believing they are lions or eagles to serve his selfish ends. Recognizing this false self is the first step toward liberation.

Letting go for victory. When you begin to suspect you are not who you think you are, initial disturbance is natural, but it's merely a trick of the false self clinging to existence. Patiently enduring this leads to understanding and victory. As the invented self disappears, painful thinking—including notions of human strength, weakness, success, or defeat—also vanishes, revealing that all true power belongs to the Supermind.

Rebel against artificiality. The path to freedom involves a "right kind of rebellion": rebelling against everything artificial within yourself. Welcome self-exposure as a purifying breeze, learning what you are truly like to discover what you can become with the Supermind. Seeing your own "nothingness" is not disaster but fulfillment, freeing you from unnecessary burdens, false guilts, and the "hell on earth" of human egotism.

4. Receptivity is the Miracle Worker for Cosmic Truth.

Individual receptivity is absolutely everything.

The key to transformation. Receptivity is the single most crucial factor for success in the higher life. Without it, nothing changes; with it, all things become possible. When truth is encountered, it either falls on the false self and is rejected, or on the authentic self, bringing understanding and relief. Cultivating a welcoming attitude allows truth to increasingly aid you, replacing fear with happiness.

Learning from discomfort. Receptivity means embracing situations that make you uncomfortable, as this is the only way to become comfortable everywhere. In a crisis, allow your inner self to be shaken without resistance, calmly observing the process. This practice makes you unshakable by life's events. Even negative social contacts become teachers, revealing aspects of yourself and challenging fixed ideas.

Asking for gems. True guidance cannot be forced upon you; it must be genuinely desired and asked for. Many study religion and philosophy without becoming happier because they lack the capacity to receive answers, mistaking intellectual familiarity for psychic realization. To break dependency on others' ideas, challenge every concept presented, courageously insisting on your own inner truth, even if it means standing alone.

5. End Suffering by Understanding Its Inner Cause.

Suffering of any kind means one thing: We are out of tune with cosmic harmony.

Pain as a guide. Just as physical pain signals a need for bodily healing, mental pain serves as a guide toward spiritual wholeness. Suffering forces us to examine what we usually ignore, offering an opportunity for self-examination and a sure cure. Liberation from sorrow is possible by grasping the essential truth that suffering arises from being out of tune with cosmic harmony.

The inner flood. Humanity often tries to escape suffering by external distractions—hobbies, relationships, good deeds—but these miss the point. The "flood" of suffering is internal, demanding our attention and effort within. When experiencing loss, instead of chasing replacements, face the new, unfamiliar situation with wonderment. This state of "pure wonderment" allows for a miracle of transformation, where loss becomes mere change, which is reality and happiness.

The dark night of the soul. A unique suffering, the "dark night of the soul," occurs when we consciously confront our own pretensions and emptiness. This critical point must be endured by remaining with the inner void, not fleeing to external shelters. It is from this emptiness that new insight and peace emerge, ending sorrow and revealing that suffering is 99% unconscious, often mistaken for strength or pride.

6. Failure and Defeat Are Illusions of the Conditioned Mind.

If you do not call an event or condition a failure, it cannot represent failure to you.

The illusion of failure. The feeling of failure is useless and unnecessary, existing within us, not in the Outer World. It holds no inherent power or meaning beyond what we carelessly assign to it. Just as beating at darkness won't bring light, fighting the feeling of failure is futile. Our only task is to step out of the "haunted house" of illusion and return to the light of our true self.

Beyond self-interest. We label things as "failure" when they contradict our self-identity or ego-driven desires for money, medals, or fame. However, these external successes do nothing for our true selves. To be free, we must abolish all harmful self-interest. When you have no self-interest in a project, its success or failure holds no concern, allowing you to perform better in daily matters without inner conflict.

Rising above opposites. A sense of defeat exists only when we live from unnatural ideas about who we are and what we should accomplish. When false notions melt under psychic intelligence, defeat and failure disappear forever. This involves rising above the dualities of credit and condemnation, success and failure, realizing that freedom lies in non-identification with these human definitions.

7. Cultivate Self-Awareness: The Magic Light That Dissolves Negativity.

Awareness sparks the powder trail to an explosion of consciousness.

The power of observation. Self-awareness is a major pillar of a first-class life, enabling you to dissolve illusions, snap psychic hypnosis, see things as they are, destroy the false self, and deliver lasting happiness. It means standing aside as a quiet observer of everything happening within and without—thoughts, feelings, conversations, and reactions—without judgment or identification.

Unmasking the mechanical. Most people mistakenly believe they are already self-aware, but true awareness is much deeper. Start by observing external mechanical actions, then move to internal ones, like irritation from criticism or depression from bad news. This practice reveals inner contradictions and breaks down walls between reality and illusion, making you whole.

Snapping the spell. Consciousness is like light; the more you have, the better you operate. When you catch yourself running "mental movies" or repeating nagging thoughts, deliberately break them off. This weakens self-hypnosis and strengthens self-command, proving you can snap the film and its tyrannical pain. Even a split-second success is a complete victory, paving the way for greater self-direction.

8. True Security Lies in Having No Security at All.

Only when you have no support are you supported.

The paradox of security. The human mind constantly seeks security in external things like finances, relationships, or ideas, but these are impermanent and breed fear. True security is a paradoxical state of having "no security whatsoever"—no attachments, nothing to cling to. This free state allows you to fully enjoy life's blessings without fear of loss, as you are supported by the higher force itself.

Embrace uncertainty. Do not fear being empty or uncertain; these are natural stages on the path to certainty. When you can be uncertain without demanding certainty, and are perfectly comfortable with it, you become truly secure. As Augustine noted, "To know that you do not know is the dawn of knowing." This wisdom is achieved by daring to stop running and finding relief in the stillness.

Freedom from possession. The dervish in the Sufi story understood that "it is folly to plead for anything from anyone." You can own the entire world, but true ownership comes when you don't care whether you own it or not. Compulsive desire for possession stems from an attempt to feel secure, but it only breeds anxiety. When you have nothing, you have everything, free from the chains of craving.

9. Transform Human Relations by Changing Yourself, Not Others.

Nothing builds inner strength faster than the simple practice of taking full responsibility for your reactions to whatever happens.

Inner command, outer peace. Your reactions to people and events are entirely within your control. By taking full responsibility for them, you build inner strength. If your psychic level is above cruelty or hysteria, you become immune to others' negativity. No one can control your mental reactions to outer events; nothing in the Outer World can touch a man living fully from his Inner World.

See people as they are. People are not what they seem; their exterior often differs vastly from their interior. To avoid errors in human relations, you must see others as they truly are, not as you wish them to be. This insight comes from understanding yourself: by frankly facing your own motives and desires, you gain clarity into why others act as they do. Self-knowledge is the key to understanding others.

Detach for true connection. To be truly independent of others, you must be able to "take or leave" them, free from compulsive need or the desire for approval. Never sacrifice your inner integrity to anyone. Psychologically detach from everyone, not with cold indifference, but with genuine love that makes no demands. This allows relationships to flourish naturally, free from the friction caused by false desires and expectations.

10. Problems Disappear When You Cease Conditioned Thinking.

There is no human difficulty that cannot be solved by clear thinking.

The problem is the mind. All human difficulties can be solved by clear thinking, yet most people fail to see that their conditioned mental processes are the very cause of their problems. They endlessly chase new doctrines or distractions, never learning the lesson taught by conflict. Whether financial loss or aching loneliness, a harbor of clear thinking exists that these problems cannot enter.

Beyond fixed attitudes. The conditioned mind, made up of borrowed ideas and deceptive reasonings, is incapable of solving problems; it is their source. A man burdened with fixed attitudes, feeling betrayed, will react with anger and self-pity, perpetuating his misery. A Supermind-thinker, however, does not let events dictate feelings; he is self-directed and untouchable, shrugging off perceived attacks because he has no false center to be hurt.

The Gordian Knot. Problems disappear when your thoughts, words, and actions align with your true self. Overweight, for instance, arises when the mind, not the body, dictates eating. Money problems stem from attachment and compulsive needs. Like Alexander slicing the Gordian Knot, we must learn an entirely new method—not imagination, but fact—to solve human problems. The solution is always within, and by working correctly with yourself, difficulties vanish.

11. Happiness is the Absence of Pain, Not the Pursuit of Excitement.

True happiness is not the opposite of pain, but the absence of pain.

Redefining happiness. To truly understand happiness, we must clarify its meaning: it is not the presence of exciting feelings, but the absence of mental pain, conscious or unconscious. Unhappy people often cling to negativity because it provides a false sense of emotional stimulation, fearing emptiness without it. However, true happiness is found in the quietness that emerges when pain is eliminated, not in the pursuit of fleeting excitements.

The present moment. Happiness is impossible if we believe it will come from achieving future objectives. Only the present moment is alive, so true enjoyment exists "now or never." Behave as if you have no preconceived ideas about what will make you happy, acknowledging that you don't know. This "blankness" of mind, free from conflicting desires, is the key to higher consciousness and lasting contentment.

Distinguish true needs. A major cause of unhappiness is the frustration of desires, stemming from a failure to distinguish between true and false needs. False needs arise from vanity, while true needs come from the cosmic self. By letting go of the false and enduring the temporary anxiety of the resulting vacuum, the "True" will come with quiet power. All punishment is self-punishment, caused by our faulty response to events, not the events themselves.

12. Unleash New Energies by Abandoning False Efforts and Embracing Naturalness.

Nothing is more tiring than the dreadful human habit of fakery.

Authenticity over pretense. True self-confidence is not temporary elation from strong desires, but an authentic state that emerges when false confidence fades. Obstacles are self-erected through wrong thinking; by refusing to create them, you prevent problems. The "dreadful human habit of fakery"—pretending to be what you are not—is profoundly tiring. Being authentic, like an eagle on a cliff, is the source of true strength and energy.

Clearing the path. The path to the Supermind is a clearing process, removing "rocks of misinformation" to make room for new discoveries. These discoveries reveal that society's confusion punishes us, neurosis is aggressive, and unhappiness is a choice. True self-renewal begins by earnestly inquiring into the mind's processes, tricks, and illusions, separating yourself from mere feelings of importance.

Relaxation is natural. Man's natural state is cheerful relaxation, like nature itself. Untamed emotions and personal frustration are inseparable, but awareness can conquer them. Physical and psychic tension are unnecessary absences of this natural state; simply being aware of tension allows you to "let go." By living from your Supermind, you become receptive to life's offerings, realizing that "Now is new" and that you are the builder of your own palace, not a prisoner of time.
