Making Room: With ones mind, if the old isnt cleared out, there wont be any room for anything new to replace it. But it will not clear out until one makes the necessary room to allow in the new. From the time one begins their life in this form, the mind is constantly processing and storing information. The incessant mind never stops this storing process and constantly draws on its familiarity, but this leaves very little room for anything new to become known. Ones instilled foundation would need something close to a miracle to dislodge it. But when ones mind is allowed to settle, it creates room and the world as it is known ceases to exist. Think of it in this way, when a room is to be redesigned in ones house, the first thing that needs to be done is to clear it out so the new furniture can fit in where its wanted. If one has to work around the old furniture it would make placing the new furniture in the room much more difficult. If the new furniture was put in with the old it just wouldnt fit properly and it probably wouldnt match either. Matching the new with the old takes a skill that most people dont naturally possess. This usually has to be taught, as it is with meditation. This is where the process of meditation helps to clear out the mind (the room). If this isnt done, the mind, as it is with the room, will remain cluttered with the old and the new although it may be put in, will not add any enhancement to the designing thats sought. After all, this is what we are doing, trying to enhance life. No one changes anything just to change it, we change a philosophy or a belief because the one thats in place needs to be redesigned, and for whatever reason its not working any more. So clear out the old and make room for a redesigning that will allow nothing in but whats new.
