We can use the technique of meditation where we let the mind go...
The only proviso is to keep awareness. Using this technique is a concerted effort of awareness.
It implies no fighting. Letting the mind go but let go consciously and watched over at all instants.
For sure we will get to know the mind well. No other technique offers such a learning opportunity.
The awareness is to be aware of all that the mind does knowing that we watching it on purpose to study it and exhaust it.
This is also called Mo-Chao or serene observation.
The mind will get tired and get quieter and quieter. How long this will take is really unknown. It can be quick or it can take a long time. It amounts to how much time you have, how patient you are and for how long you can sit still for and how long you can keep aware for.
Inquiring into the thoughts when they arise accelerates this process of knowing the mind, activating our consciousness and exhausting the mind.

Thanks a million, Paul ! I guess patience and self-acceptance play a big role in this work.
ReplyDeleteBut the end result of this method is the seperation of the essence from the mind thus achieving the first jewel of the yellow dragon ...is there another way of achieving this ?
