Purity of the Mental Continuum and the Advanced Scope

Unawareness, Disturbing Emotions and Karmic Aftermath Have No Beginning

We have already established that each of us has an individual mental continuum that has no beginning or end, and that we’ll continue to take rebirth. Without beginning, our mental continuum has also been mixed with unawareness, or in simple language, confusion. This refers to unawareness of behavioral cause and effect: we’re unaware that unhappiness comes from destructive behavior and happiness comes from constructive behavior. It also refers to our basic unawareness of reality: we’re unaware of how we, everyone else, and everything else exists. Based on our unawareness, we develop disturbing emotions and attitudes, and then we act in destructive or constructive compulsive ways mixed with confusion. This leaves karmic aftermath on our mental continuum, which includes karmic tendencies and positive and negative karmic force. Thus, our mental continuum and that of all others has been mixed with unawareness, disturbing emotions and karmic aftermath with no beginning.
