CALMING THE MIND: A
Forward Step:
Hello again and thank you for reading. I hope you find
these thoughts helpful. Feedback is always welcomed and you may want to check
out earlier posts for previous calming of the mind steps and techniques.
It can be interesting and very useful, to notice when you
try to change and alter the hearts and minds of others because you believe they
are responsible for your pain and suffering. In the moment, your reaction is
likely to be that of anger and anger is a nice early indicator that there is a
negativity, an ego-based resistance to what is. I noticed this in a recent
dialogue with the mind.
Dear Mind,
I now see you when you want to change the hearts and minds
of others, of course that is because you assume to know the hearts and minds of
others, as discussed previously (see below). The reasoning is that if you can
change the hearts and minds of others you will not have to feel some form of pain
and suffering you might be feeling at this moment. But now since I am on to you,
starting with the understanding that I know where you are coming from, I will
be catching you more often. This tendency of yours will then also fade away.
