The Pleasant

When we are afraid we don’t account ourselves are the ones who create the feeling of fear, that we experience it and then want to not repeat. Read more here: Bristol Stool Scale. The same happens with the pleasant experiences, ourselves the very few times do and when we look at we do it in a way critical, look to people locking us in his personality, his appearance his way of dressing, but we never look at ourselves. If observasemos ourselves we would see our mind always this chatter with itself, in a coming and constant thoughts. This chatter is incessant and unnecessary, since thinking should use it only when needed, the same as the legs or hands, when one is sitting does not need legs to move, but mind you already are standing, sitting, lying, awake or sleeping, he is tirelessly working. The problem is that we are not owners of ourselves because we identify ourselves with thoughts, allowing that it dominates our lives to such an extent that we cannot be ourselves for one single moment. Being oneself is to live without thoughts, be like a child without prejudices, without condemning, without accepting, or rejecting anything, free of any conditioning either this social, cultural, political, religious etc.

Thinking is memory and memory is of the past, this is the reason why we always go ahead or we are left behind, we are always thinking in what we did or what we do, we never live the present active, the here and now. Live the here and now, be aware, the awakening of the consciousness, be attentive, the tao, the way, is all the same, different words to define one thing, that is meditation. Be attentive is to be observant, watchful, witness of everything what is happening both internally as externally. To listen there must be an interest and a silent observation, one can not be attentive if you’re constantly prattling with himself.

The Mind

And the problem is that we identify with those flashes that come and go aimlessly and in most occasions without sense. Today believe in one thing and in another tomorrow, now want one thing and then another, today we like this and tomorrow things. The instability around us everywhere, that we are today nothing resembles what we were yesterday psychologically speaking – who today believe in nothing resembles what we thought yesterday. And that instability is not produced by anything external to us, we are unstable because the mind itself is unstable. If we are attentive to the movement of thinking can see that appeared to us to ourselves, there is no difference between the thinker and the thought, between that thought and thought. Which produces happiness, suffering, depressions, desires, fears etc. The experiencer and who wants to repeat those experiences or not is the same, the experimenter is experienced, the observer noted, the thinker thinking.

Therefore the answer to the question of who that thought it did you? It is to me. And if we ask immediately. Quien soy yo? The movement of thinking stops, mind I know introvierte to realizing that she herself is that question and which gives the answer, so it produces a transmutation and thought ceases. To silence the deceptive mind of desires, fears, addictions etc. One to be given realizes that it is the mind that produces them and experiencing them, and to realize this know to ask each time it appears a thought who that thinking appeared to him? The answer will be that to me, then we ask ourselves who am I? That thought is appeared to whom? To me Quien soy yo? We should not accept any answer that can get us to the question of who am I? Because the answers come from the mind of knowledge and knowledge is memory and memory is of yesterday.
