Two Most Important Factors In Cultivating Clarity
Posted by Ken Lauher
The two most important factors in cultivating clarity are calmness and equanimity. Hypertension and emotional imbalance cloud the mind with a form of aberrant energy which traditional Chinese medicine refers to as 'muddy energy' (juo-chee). Like mud stirred up from the bottom of a clear pool of water, muddy energy rises up from the internal organs and obscures the clarity of cerebral energy in the head whenever stress, tension, or uncontrolled emotional reactions are permitted to disturb the human energy system.
Anger, for example, causes 'rebellious' hot energy to rise up from the liver, fear arouses cold Water energy from the kidneys, excess worry stirs up muddy Earth energy from the spleen and stomach, and so forth. Whenever this happens, it's like fogging a clear mirror with steam, or streaking it with water, or smearing it with mud: whatever images it reflects are distorted.
Mental clarity can be achieved and maintained only when internal energies are balanced and calm. Recall the second principle of internal alchemy - 'energy transforms into spirit'.
This means that the mind depends on energy for sustenance, and the quality of energy therefore determines the quality of mental functions. Agitated, imbalanced gives rise to an agitated, imbalanced mind. Calm, balanced energy sustains a calm, balanced mind, and this is the basis of mental clarity.
Returning to the metaphors of camera and mirror: when the hand that holds them is calm and steady, the images they reflect will be clear and accurate. The same applies to the mirror of mind: when the energy which sustains it is calm and stable, the images it reflects will be clear and lifelike.
