Some people claim that you are already enlightened and simply have to realise it. In this talk, Paul suggests this presumes that unenlightened people have ordinary minds. Only enlightened people, he maintains, have ordinary minds. The rest have extraordinary minds, as they are warped and corrupted by ignorance, craving and hatred. The ignorant mind takes it entirely for granted, seeing it as ordinary and is caught perpetually looking elsewhere for meaning in life. The Buddha's training wakes us back up to the extraordinary truth of the unfolding of conscious experience.
Paul Harris is the Spiritual Head and principal meditation teacher at the House of Inner Tranquillity.
