Learn Somehow
We have to learn at some point for ourselves how to not
identify with the pleasant and unpleasant sensations of our body.
We have to work it out for ourselves somehow and we have to
understand why we would take on such a task.
Fear, Worry, Gluttony, Lust, Laziness, etc.
The answer to why we would take on such a task in the above
sub-heading. These four egos and more rely heavily on our identification with
sensations from the body. Fear identifies with the unpleasant and painful
sensations and gluttony, laziness and lust identify with the pleasant sensations
from the body.
We must work to cause our consciousness to sit above the
plane of both pleasant and unpleasant sensations.
How do we Do it?
We can do this by observing very carefully the stories or background
or interpretation that we add onto the sensations when they are felt. When we
dissolve the extra concepts, stories meanings, perceptions, interpretations
etc. from our psychology that we add onto the sensations then we can see the
sensations as neutral and not bothersome, then we can take a great leap in
elevating ourselves above the plane of pleasant and unpleasant.
Stories Added
When we felt a pain in a body we add onto it a story or the thought
that: “it will never go away”, “it is the start of something serious”, “it
really hurts unbearably so much so that I can’t stand it”, “no one cares”, “no
one notices”, “it is cancer”, “I am old and weak now and I can’t do the work
anymore”. Etc.
Lust adds the story: “I must do”, “I must have”, “more” and
all sorts of other stuff that one helps oneself immensely when one is ware of
them, then separates from them and dissolves them with the help of our Divine Mother.
