Vision-Bending Practice

In the course of my explorations influenced by Eastern philosophies such as Advaita Vedanta and Taoism, and the science of consciousness as explored in Annaka Harris's 'Conscious,' the thought of the words 'Piece of Mind' emerged as a mantra. This phrase, a nuanced play on 'piece' and 'peace,' which are pronounced the same yet hold distinct meanings, serves to explore the unity of all things and foster spiritual resonance. One term suggests something external, separate from the observer, while the other indicates an internal, personal state of tranquility. The practice of this mantra encourages a shift in perspective for anyone interested in exploring deeper spiritual and creative realms, moving from multiplicity to unity, from separation to oneness, and from inner conflict to inner peace.

By viewing the world as 'pieces of one Mind,' the observer might eventually transcend worldly concerns, releasing them to discover their true nature, ultimately finding 'Peace of Mind' within. This mantra becomes a transformative tool, turning everyday activities into opportunities for accessing inner peace and embracing the interconnectedness of existence. By challenging our notions of separateness and committing to consistent practice, we nurture a sense of serenity and connectedness, regardless of external circumstances.
