There are a few points that help to drop fantasy on the spot.
In general it is easy to drop a fantasy when we:
👀 Don't see it useful.
👀 Don't see that it will make us feel better.
👀 See the experience of it as something unpleasant.
👀 See it as just too much straining to maintain it in our mind.
👀 See it totally unrealistic and implausible.
👀 See it as wrong or absurd.
👀 See that if it were to be true it would be very stressful and something that one does not really want.
👀 See the nature of it as blatantly egoical.
👀 See it as the consciousness failing, failing to exert its power of truth over the absurd falsity.
💪 If we apply the above points to any fantasy that we find unfurling on the screen of our mind we can really do something to drop that fantasy or get close and closer to doing that.

ReplyDeleteA suggestion:
I think many students don't realize that they can ask their Mothers to eliminate even a tiny portion of an ego after comprehending it. Even if they've meditated for 5 minutes (for whatever reason) on an ego, they must immediately ask their Mother to disintegrate the comprehended portion.
In this way, even beginner students can progress rapidly and with much enthusiasm.
Of course, the basis of this is tremendous devotion and love towards the Mother.
Maybe you could do a post on this?
No worries, can do.
DeleteI'll write something like that up in the next couple of days. I have some posts about that subject in the mix of them all as well, which I'll post some links to.
