Introduction
Sometimes just letting go of thoughts is very helpful in dealing with the egos that think them. Especially if those thoughts come from the egos of fear,
anxiety, worry and attachment.
However with fantasy, it is often better to directly
counteract such thoughts.
There are many ways that one can do this, and once again
different methods will work better for different people. This post gives just
one of the many ways.
It can be Made Real and Then?
Usually with people’s fantasy there is a great deal of
fascination involved. So a method of breaking down that fascination is quite an
effective tool to combat fantasy.
If we have a particular fantasy about acquiring a spiritual
faculty for example, then tell yourself: “sure you can acquire that faculty,
just work harder and put your consciousness, will and mind into making it
happen, and it will”.
Observe then what happens within you, you will see that it is
then not really such a fantasy anymore, it has become more like a plan. That is
it made an entrance into the realms of reality.
Once something has become a plan we then can get an idea of
whether or not that plan can be carried out.
It may seem like too much hard work for it to be carried out
and so we can know that fantasy is all about skipping the steps, jumping
forward in time.
This brings me to the important point that being steadfast in
the moment is another way to combat fantasy.
Conclusion
So there are two tools here that are useful to combat
fantasy. They are: be in the moment, not in the future or the past and convert
fantasy to a plan and bring it into the realm of reality and then deicide.
