Spiritual Recalibration
The challenge I am facing at the moment is I am getting too close to mind, It is constantly speaking and I am getting lost, it says it wants to impress others and so many other things. it is afraid, happy and all. and I take it seriously. there are two things I need to work upon, one is transcending, the other is training.
The structure of mind is simple. voice, sensation, and samskaras are building blocks. it follows the predefined structure and samskaras seems to be very real.
For the transcending, the practice of vipassana is essential and reading of scriptures. these two will eventually kill the ignorance and lead to transcendence.
The second is the training of the mind. The weekly course and engagement in the world with the constant movement of tapas of purification is the way. I can mold the mind in any way I desire there is a simple process and tapas.
for the vipassna make sure 6:30-7:20 is your time. you do it regardless of any thing followed by 20mins study of scriptures. make that the first thing in the morning.
wake up at 6:20, read the scripture for 20min, followed by meditation for 40 min. and 5 min metta in the morning.
in the evening regardless of anything you study scripture for 10 mins followed by 40mins meditation and 5 min metta.
this is for transcendence.
Now daily fixes are there for regular training of the mind. you could be more strategic though.
on the other hand integration using weekly courses are more intentional.
instead of practice, I just honestly express myself. Instead of competing I want to learn from the people smarter than me,
so first just write what it is that you want to practice and then the process of practice and the way to measure the result.
