Slowing down is a great tool to see unconscious thoughts that are passing through your mind.
Here is a really nice passage from K I just received in my email box: Is it possible not to record that hurt at the moment when I am called an idiot? Is it possible not to record at all, not only the hurt but flattery? Is it possible not to record either? The brain has been trained to record, for in that record there is safety, security, a sense of vitality; in that recording the mind creates the image about oneself. And that image will constantly get hurt. Is it possible to live without a single image about yourself, or about your husband, wife, children, firm, or about the politicians, the priests, or about the ideal—not a single shadow of an image? It is possible, and if it is not found you will always be getting hurt, always living in a pattern in which there is no freedom. When you give complete attention there is no recording. It is only when there is inattention that you record. That is: you flatter me; I like it; the liking at that moment is inattention, therefore recording takes place. But if when you flatter me I listen to it completely without any reaction, then there is no centre which records. – Krishnamurti, Questions and Answers, pp 54-55
We can simplify. We can get out of our way and let Truth show us what’s real. We can do this now.
“Is it possible to see to see without a single image about yourself [or anyone else].” What a liberating prospect!
