Mind is an essential key which can give access to a higher level of consciousness.

A key can be used to open a door but also to close it, and when you live spirituality only with your intellect, the access to consciousness is closed.

Mind is a very good way to access the edge of consciousness but it is impossible to seize this dimension of life trough it. Mind is a kind of raft very useful to cross the river but which, once arrived at the other shore prevents you from continuing your journey if you want to carry on with it.

That's the whole point : you must use mind like a precious instrument knowing that one day you will have to put it aside. Otherwise it will become the most hazardous hindrance in your evolution.

Mind has to give up the role of the master for the one of the servant or it enchains you and is an impediment for your conscience awakening. This is the ego's death. Roles are swapped.

But to master mind you first have to know it. Mind likes to conceive, to imagine, to philosophize, to argue, to judge… ad infinitum. Thousands of opinions are permanently confronted but what can they ad to Truth ?

Men's truths are countless and interchangeable to one's liking. As for universal Truths, they are immutable and eternal. True seekers know that these Laws can not be revealed to you with the unceasing chit chat of mind that only casts illusions.
Mind's aim and its very nature is to express its own truth and not Truth.

Only conscience awakening gives you access to universal Truths. But before reaching awakening, you must one day give up all your certainties, your prejudices, your truths, and make your mind silent, to listen. It's only in silence that you can hear the "voice". And you will have to learn to discern this voice, this echo of your consciousness.

But silence is the hardest thing to obtain, because it means the end of mind's supremacy, and in a way, its death.
