Challenging Effort-Based Approaches
🌀 Initially experienced an extremely restless mind with "enormous energy" and "multiple voices" that affected the body.
🚫 Traditional spiritual methods like "focus on the breath" were ineffective, leading to "unnatural silence" and feeling like "suppressing thoughts" through effort.
🤯 Realized that attempts to change thoughts were still driven by the "ego trying to focus" and gain an advantage, preventing true peace.
The Shift to Pure Observation
🧘♀️ A turning point involved abandoning methods and simply sitting for 30 minutes, allowing thoughts and feelings to "simply be as I am" without external distractions.
🌬️ Experienced initial discomfort but found "peace at the end" as the mind's "enormous energy slowed down by itself" without any effort or method.
✨ This process established "pure observation, no conflict, pure allowing" as the fundamental approach to inner stillness.
Realizing Unconditioned Consciousness
💡 Discovered the profound insight that "I'm Not The Thinker", understanding thoughts as "Mind activity that is running by itself" or "conditioning."
👀 Shifted identity to the "unconditioned Consciousness" that serves as the "Observer" of the body-mind's ongoing conditioning and programming.
🌟 Recognized that trying to "change the fact that the mind is thinking" indicates identification with the ego, whereas true nature is "pure Consciousness observing."
Path to Effortless Peace
🏞️ Embrace a state of "natural silence" and relaxation by purely observing the body-mind without effort, similar to a "mountain" that simply "is."
🛡️ Confront "darkness" including negative feelings, trauma, and past events "without conflict" or attempts to get rid of them, fostering comfort until they no longer define you.
🧘♀️ Allow the mind to be active, even for extended periods (e.g., "10 minutes, 20 minutes in a row"), embracing its activity without artificial distance.
Key Points & Insights
➡️ Abandon the pursuit of peace through methods; it arises naturally when you stop trying to achieve it.
➡️ Identify as the "unconditioned Consciousness" observing the body-mind's activity, rather than identifying with the thoughts and feelings themselves.
➡️ Directly "confront what is" (negative feelings, trauma, conditioning) without conflict or judgment, allowing for natural integration and clarity.
➡️ Understand that the conditioned mind "will never understand peace" or feeling at home; true peace emerges when the mind's attempts to grasp it collapse.
