i'd read all your wilkes
and listen to your recordings on it
pretty much on a daily basis and
i don't say that the build up but he got it doesn't exist
uh...
is leads into my questions below what i find in trying to practice the power of
now trying to be
conscious without thought
is very heavy entered dialogue of all the principles and things that i've read
like
how should i do so it eckhardt sayin
and can actually my thought process starts getting
more active
and i think i'm losing
the president's but i thought process
and then i i think it is
the latest book with the cartoons which i love which
centers will bring the tree he's talking to the dark he's very upset
and talks is what's wrong in the birds as well
in arms
thinking about yesterday and anderson and i'm worried about what's going to
happen in a week two weeks is about the future when i do what i do and dog just
looks at him and says stop thinking
so
how do i
you know it it seems use try to stop thinking but in any read all this and
you try to practice it
but yet in any given situation have find that in order to it
get closer to practicing every to practice it
it's causing a lot of thoughts to happen
that's a different kind of thoughts are those thoughts that i should break that
can't have it in
itself out
well the
that there's a lot of talk these days involves not just talk actually
that's happening addictions
many people addicted to all kinds of things
substances
and uh...
but one of the greatest addiction sold one of the greatest addiction never
actually
deal never read about in the papers
because the people addicted to it don't know it
it's the addiction to thinking
it's actually addictive
comstock thinking it's like i'm stopped drinking come stop smoking
construct eating comstock thinking thinking is the greater diction panel
any of these
dependence and addiction because its
prostitutes been
could rock that wants to spin around for so long
and uh...
it's as usual
sense of self
so it's that agreat reluctance
on the part of most people drew that cold thinking
because *** equated with stage of sleep
to let go of thinking
isn't that much to understand in this teaching there's a little bit to
understand about all the eagle works but even that is just mania notes of
observation
the main thing about it is
presents
presence
and
presents is
displays of northolt
but presence can also be there in the background even not pointing king is
happening you can still be not completely involved in the thinking
thinking loses the ability to
create
havoc in your life and confuse you
so
wouldn't your choice and is not to understand more
or to bring some intellectual analysis to the practice
but to practice
the state of
nantes thinking which can be
arrived at by various blaze issue probably know if you don't think about
its just do it
the sp
becoming more aware of the present moment and
accepted as it is slows down
the overactive mind just one thing
because a lot of the overall activity of the mine just took an attempt to get
away from the isthmus simplicity of the present moment
to become more aware of the present moment right as a practice
have crabs little point us in the office and calm in your car
that's a present moment all but whatever all assembled for it
and
bend different and tree pollens
into the present moment
present moment awareness mains
thinking subsides manages to be a completely
something else arises that is
primary
we called it presents all winners
bore destroyed mindfulness
which i don't use because it implies is just empty of lemont is full of things
that packages and of course its customers translation
the to put it to be present
fossil use the present moment to become apology become conscious of the present
moment
now when you get it
after a while you can give can actually sense that the presence of the present
artistry
directly images chick
helpful things are
sense perceptions
taking on too thinking if you're not
judging the sense perceptions and labeling naming
knocking around
anywhere where ever you all
look around
practice
sense perceptions without this compulsive
interference of
naming wanted what you're proceeding
orbit so beautiful so i won't know what it's called by the lawyers cultural that
helps i can be free of thinking
if i know what is called so i can say all that such and such and then go plant
and it worked
uh... see what it means to perceive
without interference of
concepts
lines
at this moment for example
you're looking at me
that's a
between null
unknown
were you thinking
and to gain
between naal
and
way of thinking all present
no thought
and while i speak
do you need to think to understand what i'm saying all can you just listen and
understand it
kiss
and this is what you're doing
and so that's part of the teaching and the function of the spiritual teacher
imparting information is secondary
what i'm telling you now
is secondary
what his primary
is the underlying state of consciousness which is presents that's the teaching
but you can't talk about that it's underlying
but the at sign that it's working is that while you listen
there's no sold mister sturdy unload presence
and when the so-called ths stop speaking for moment
the allowed presence remains it does not need to be filled with anything
right now
what is that you think about nothing
mel if we do this for longer if we are
that sometimes
elmont will probably start up and think almost moma's he going to sit down
and when that happens
you can allow will mind to say how much longer is it going to sit there and say
nothing
and then come back to a presence
and then some other thought a little
what's this all about
and then you can allow that soldier eyes and then be present again
which means you are not really
your priority is no longer to follow the fold wade ones to take you
because the fault
has a magnetic quoted one small theo consciousness before msdn rule
because it's a little entity
it wants to grossman who wants to your attention
in interpolated tries to get your intention says
it might even use involving the feeling
because i'm hungry suddenly a wanted plenty to eat something
when you think it will be it his gone okay
which means the faulty used to estimate
to some bodily thing to make thoughts on the bed completely pointless because you
can find arresting because you're standing here
but it can use all kinds of things to manufacture most to get your attention
and if you're not careful
if you don't know the mechanism is not so much an intellectual understanding
but the simple realization that this is what the mind does
it tries to pull you in
it's one that's what it does
once you know that you can allow a small to arise
without following age wade wants you to go which is into another bigger thought
and a bigger one
uh... so then you become like a
like my dog wanted trying to send
ends and then suddenly
even the don't bend mcm adult is all for these
usually shes fine she just runs around you
but suddenly she picks up a cent
and then shingles off
completely unaware of surroundings or anything you just follows that
here
and she could get a lot to do was often they'll rise in sometimes just
disappears
and that's when you follow thought
goes like that you can wake up twenty minutes later when it started with sql
has to be a little bit hungry and thinking of a restaurant and data and
software thinking about all uncc rightfully alive phase one
