Mind cannot be eliminated. Mind is synonymous with Self/Soul/Source/Creator/God. The ego database of sensed observations cannot be eliminated either, though it can be transcended via withdrawal from identification with it. Mind itself cannot be withdrawn, neither temporarily or permanently.
To say Mind can be eliminated is to say that God can die. It is an egoic supposition based purely in fantasy; based purely in conjecture of the senses and assignment of sovereignty to them.
When the Soul, or the Self with a capital ‘S’ is given sovereignty, identity is withdrawn into Still Source (Reality), and Mind imagining creation is Known Purely as Rhythmic, Balanced, Interchanging Ecstasy.
If God ceased imagining rhythmic, balanced, interchanging motion, all of Creation would instantly be null and void. And this is an impossibility of Eternal Nature.
Thinking based in the fulcrum of Stillness divided equally into interchanging parts expresses the absolute truth of one’s identity as the Imaginer of motion. Thinking based in projecting identity into the effects of that imagined division expresses nothing but the belief in separation. Motion can be ‘left to its own devices ‘, so to speak, via withdrawal from identification with it to rest in the undivided balance of the universe that is the core of divinity. Qualitatively, the thinking of the Divine Self is one ecstatic Cause that interchanges within itself, and its effect (Creation), thus takes care of itself. The entirety of Creation can be known as Pure Consciousness aka Balanced Thinking of One Stillness into a dynamically interchanging pair of motion in opposition (divine sex).
“Let US (God, the One, and the male and female aspect of the imagined division of the One into an eternally interchanging pair – womb of space encompassing child of matter) make mankind in our likeness and image” (Genesis).
To strive to eliminate God’s ecstasy meant for Man to Know is akin to striving to eliminate God.
Mind eternally imagines motion. Thus is the still Creator and the seemingly moving (to the senses alone) body of Creation motionless, timeless, formless and eternal.
Thus, all that need be “done” to Realize the Supreme Nature of the Self or the Supreme Personality of Godhead is recognize the senses for what they are – detectors of the illusion of duality – and withdraw identity with them into the Stillness of Reality.
Withdrawal from the sense of effect to rest in Cause is all that “happens” in illumination, deep sleep and profound meditation, or communion, and one may learn to command the withdrawal from the senses at will.
