There are things right in front of us... that we can’t even see clearly... so how can we understand the concepts of esoteric philosophers... what they’re saying...
It’s also a saying that not everyone comprehends the same way...
Depending on the ability to comprehend... how far our path of evolution has progressed.
If we look at life in a narrow-minded way... how can we truly understand people’s hearts...
Because we all see things incorrectly... distorted according to our own ideas.
Why is there the Doctrine of the Mean...
It’s to see things as they actually unfold... without discrimination, without bias...
Not seeing things wrongly or correctly because of admiration or lack of admiration...
But seeing things as they unfold...
We only need to know if something is reasonable or unreasonable... whether someone is good to us or not doesn’t matter...
Because the person who loves us will defend us, turning bad into good...
The person who dislikes us will be envious of us, turning good into bad...
So what’s the difference between Right and Wrong.
Each of us is the Mind, the circle of the Universe... whether good or bad comes to us...
Because I am the Mind... therefore all sides are pressing down on Me...
When something bad comes, everything comes rushing in...
When something good comes... it’s the same...
If we see this Circle... we will know that... Ah. That is the law of the circle.
If you are the Mind, be the Mind and let everything around you keep spinning...
We only need to know that we are the Mind. Or the circle.
Even a storm has a center.
It moves from person to person, from place to place.
That’s called Karma.
It is like that…
Winston Man
Excerpt from AI:
Winston Man’s writing contains a depth of spiritual philosophy, expressed in metaphorical language and profound contemplation.
In life, there are things that happen right before our eyes that we still don’t truly understand, let alone the profound thoughts that esotericists and philosophers teach. Not everyone understands the same way – because the level of awareness and spiritual maturity of each person is different. We can only comprehend what is commensurate with our level and vision.
If we still look at life superficially and shallowly, how can we understand the deep essence of people’s hearts? Each person sees things through their own lens – often distorted, based on emotions, prejudices, and personal experiences.
That’s why we need the "Doctrine of the Mean" – a view that doesn’t lean to either side, doesn’t let emotions like love or hate distort judgment. It is an awakened view: seeing things as they are, without embellishment or denigration.
What matters is not who is right or wrong, who is good to us or not – but whether that thing is true to the truth or not. Someone who loves us can defend the wrong as right. Someone who hates us can turn right into wrong. So the distinction between right-wrong, good-evil... is not absolute. It changes according to people’s minds.
We – each individual – are the "Mind" of the Universe’s circle. That Mind is the center of all movement. When something bad comes, we feel like everything is pouring into us. When something good comes, the feeling is similar – things follow each other like a chain.
Seeing that law – we understand that it is the law of the Universe’s rotation. Everything revolves around our mind – good things, bad things, things that come, things that go. If we are the "Mind" – hold that position firmly. Don’t spin with the outer circle. Let the world spin – while we recognize, observe, and remain silent in our hearts.
Like a storm – no matter how fierce it is, it has an eye. That eye is not moving – but from there, winds spread everywhere. That is Karma – it operates according to a natural law, moving from person to person, from life to life.
Understanding that – we live in awareness, no longer complaining, no longer attached. We dwell in the center of the circle, mastering our minds amidst all the changes.
_______________________________________
The mystical depth that Winston Man’s writing evokes. It expresses deep inner and spiritual feelings, taking the reader beyond ordinary reason, and entering the intuitive vision of a mindful practitioner.
There are things that happen right in life – clear, specific, manifest – that we still cannot fully see their essence. Let alone the timeless things, the subtle truths that the wise men and esotericists of ancient times have conveyed – through symbols, through metaphors, through silence.
Truth is not in words. Each person will understand differently – not because anyone is more right than anyone else – but because their level is where they can see.
Understanding is a stage of the evolutionary journey, not the final conclusion.
If our minds are still bound by discriminatory thoughts, still caught in the view of "right-wrong", "good-bad", "love-hate"... how can we touch the essence of reality?
1. Each person sees life through their own "mirror of the mind"
We don’t really see things as they are – but always see through the filter of ourselves: emotions, memories, injuries, ambitions, fears. Each person is a distorted mirror, and the image in the mirror is always distorted in its own way.
The person who loves us will dye the wrong into right.
The person who hates us will turn the right into wrong.
So – what is real?
2. "Doctrine of the Mean" – is the view from the middle of the circle
Trung Dung is not a vague neutrality. Trung Dung is an unwavering mind, not pulled to one side by emotions or prejudices. It is seeing everything as it is, without reacting, without interfering with the ego.
It is the gaze of someone who no longer needs to prove anything, no longer needs to be loved or fears being hated.
It is the gaze of someone who resides in the "Mind".
3. Each of us is "Mind"-the center of the Universe’s circle
The world does not happen outside of us-it happens through us.
Our Mind is the center-the convergence of all experiences: joy-sorrow, good-evil, gain-loss.
When evil comes, everything rushes in like a raging storm.
When good comes, we are swept along.
But if we see the structure of this circle, we will realize: this is the law. This is Karma-the constant rotation of cause and effect, of energy and feedback.
4. The storm also has an Eye of the storm
In the eye of the storm-there is always a region of absolute stillness. The storm swirls, tearing everything apart-but in the center, not a breath of wind.
The enlightened Mind is the same-not swayed by life.
Even if the storm of Karma rises-that person still sees clearly, still stands still.
**5. If we are the Mind, then let’s be the Mind
Return to the middle ground-the point of observation, of stillness, of not being pulled. Don’t identify yourself with the outer circle-with the "events" that happen, with the words of others, with fame and shame, gain and loss.
What rotates is Karma.
What does not rotate is Mind.
Conclusion
Understanding this-we no longer blame anyone, no longer look for someone to blame or expect.
Understanding this-we stop in ourselves, and see the entire Universe revolving around a still point.
And that point-is the True Self.
Is the Mind.
Is our original face-from countless eons.
