The external world manifests our ego-mind. If the mind is is unaware of its egotistical nature, the world becomes a mentally constructed playground of the ego. To the degree that our mind embraces metanoia, helping us to recognise the difference between the ego and the self, the whole world becomes a ‘point of origination’ for the divinely-human. This is the ultimate goal of meditation. We change the world by being changed. And as we see our mind for what it really is, the ego, we see that the only mind free of ego is the mind of Christ. ‘We possess the mind of Christ’, is the astonishing announcement.
