Mind Is a Tool of Awareness · Don't Fixate It for Your Nest ▹
The mind in itself isn't fundamentally problematic. It's just an instrument of awareness. It breaks down when you incessantly meddle with it, battling the workings of nature. It settles in its own terms as you let it settle. Leave the wrestling, release and let it be as it must. You will be more at peace and find more clarity. If action is called for, then let the mind act as it must. You need not be there at the prime driver's seat. You are not the mind. ⛲Living Awareness ▹
Progressive Self-Inquiry · Beyond Your Mental Transits ▹
Ever seek what's beyond. Know that anything below it is not you, is not your identity, is not your lasting self. This progressive inquiry will lift you beyond the influence of the transiting states of your mind. It'll give you calm and freedom, happiness beyond your fixated framings. But if I'm not the shapes of my mind, what's there to hold me together? Well see what comes. It won't be worse than what you have as it is. Let the mind be. No need to tweak all the time. ⛲Living Awareness ▹
Chasing for Mental Peace vs. Detached from Mental States ▹
You identify with the mind. You need it in a particular state and framing to feel satisfaction and happiness. However, it's forever pushed and pulled by the environment and your internals. What do you expect? What follows is a perpetual chase for your preferred framing and feeling. Then be not a slave to your mental states. Let the mind be, as it may. Today broad, tomorrow narrow. Today clear, tomorrow muddy – and forever changing in reflections. ⛲Living Awareness ▹
