Thanks Angie,

The explanation reminds me of a book i read recently.

"THE POWER OF NOW" written by Ekhart Tolle. Observing

the mind is also one of the techniques explained in

that book. I feel that the moment i start observing my

mind all tensions go away. But unfortunately i was not

continuously following this technique. anyway thanks

for the explanation angie.

You are welcome. Antar mon is a great technique, i ve tried it too

sometimes to experiment. In the beginning even my own thoughts would

scare me. Later on one learns to accept them and not reject these

thoughts, coz thats the only way to get rid off them. We must make our

mind our friend.

 

You know, some people are afraid to be by themself. They are afraid of

solitude and cant spend much time alone. They want to be all the time

with people. Even when they are alone they are trying to find

something to occupy the mind, read books, do some work on the pc etc.

I think this is a way to escape confronting with our own thougths and

emotions. A trick of the ego to prevent us from realizing who we are.

 

There are some people though, who are conscious of their thoughts and

desires more or less. These are really successful folks usually. Being

conscious and having concentrational abilities must be the key to

success.

 

Some schools of thought teach that selfobservation should be done

constantly, throughout the day especially when we are doing things

which are established habits, such as washing the teeth, washing the

dishes, combing hair etc. I dont want to make this complicated, but

these habits are governed by the subconscious mind, they are small

programms in our brain. Its the same function that stores the names of

people in our memory. Some claim that by making the subconscious mind

conscious, we come very close to its realization. I m really not sure

if its true. On the other hand allowing the subconsciousness to take

over tasks, saves us psychic energy.

 

I d like to hear your opinions on this.
