Sitting develops discipline so you can watch your selfish thoughts come and go. Eventually there will be more and more space between them. It’s in this space that you’ll see the selfish thought prison of the mind…
With the emergence of the social media, there’s so much information available on the mind that it really needs to be investigated before you consider what to use to assist in your development. To see if what you’re using to develop discipline is beneficial, there can’t be any selfish thoughts that form attachments. Methods, programs, guru’s, life coaches, teachers, or any other form that’s used to keep you attached just keeps you in prison to the very thing you are trying to break free of. Just as there’s a lot of “fake news” out there today, there’s also a lot of fake information on the mind. Attachment is something that’s not truly understood by many people, and so most of the thinking out there keeps you in a selfish thought prison in some way. Those telling you to buy their book, pay for retreats run by paid speakers, or follow (instant attachment) a program are clever to a fault, with the fault being keeping you in prison.
The only thing needed is look within so a millisecond of space is created between your selfish thoughts. Once there’s awareness of this, slowly there will be more and more space; it takes nothing but awareness to create this space. The selfish thought prison that someone’s program, book, method or whatever has your answer will keep you attached to what you’re trying to break free from. I know people defend their so called guru or people they follow adamantly, but it’s only because there’s no awareness of the prison they’re in. Sit often and just watch the selfish thoughts come and go. Eventually there will be more and more space between them. It’s in this space that you see all the selfish thoughts you’re attached to and the prison they put you in…
