Pupil: You have earliest aforesaid that I am not the mind, but a propulsion above it, could you delight explicate this point?
Teacher: The information that you can bequeath instructions to the mind, act contrary to its dictates, and reprogram it in accordance near your own will, proves that YOU are so NOT the worry.
Pupil: Your language confound me. Until now, I had no compunction that my noesis and myself were the selfsame entity.
More postsTeacher: This is what most individuals construe. Let me clear up this notion. To operate a electrical device or driving force a car, within must be soul in allegation to form them practise. A mechanism or a car cannot slog on its own, is it not so?
Pupil: Right.
Teacher: If it is researchable to renovation the planning of the worry and settle down low its restlessness, it agency that the control that is production this achievable is something disconnected or better than the mind, exactly as the one who operates a apparatus or drives a car is discrete from the electrical device or car, right?
Pupil: Yes, this makes connotation.

If you are competent to say to your mind, "Be quiet", and it obeys you, even more when its desires are diverse from yours, it funds that you are the one handsome the order, not the consciousness. It cannot command itself to close up up. There essential be thing or being other who gives these orders, and this person other is YOU, THE REAL YOU.
Acceptance of the conception that you are not the be concerned brings you to a number of fundamental conclusions:
You don't have to accept, locomote and worry on all musing that the noesis brings up.
You have the choice to adopt or cull idea at your own will.
You can act reported to your will, in maliciousness of the mind's antagonism.
You can be in insinuation of your head and maestro it.
You can determine on a sure action, behaviour or goal, track your conclusion and get done your aim.
Whenever you overpowered laziness, procrastination, lowliness or a refusal habit, you avow your authority ended your consciousness and turn out to yourself that the nous is not the true you, but a apparatus that you use.
By temporary different to the mind's dictations or desires and inclinations, you be to yourself that you are not the mind, but the right above and further than it.
Pupil: What is accurately this power, which is preceding the mind?
Teacher: This right is "the genuine you", your physical and factual essence, which is called by antithetical calumny such as as: "The Inner I", "The Spirit", "The private being" the "Higher Consciousness" etc.

Teacher: Yes, That's true! First adopt this thought in assumption and act according to it. Later, as you increase experience, especially after going done the property exercises, about which we will state later, you will have nonstop experience for confirmation.
If you adopt the belief that you are not the mind, it would be easier for you to unfasten yourself from the mind, and this will enable you to pronounce your hidden energy and turn the awake administrator of your noesis and life, or else of mortal at the clemency of peripheral influences and unconscious previous planning. It is up to you to contend your rightful function as the artist of your mind.
I can provide evidence you plentiful examples of situations, wherever this will be to your positive aspect.
Let's say you establish to go for a walk, to effort your thing. As in a while as you have this thought, your psyche tells you that you'd superior linger at sett and ticker TV or else. To bring you to linger at home, it will bring on up all kinds of justifications and reasons, why you should not go for a walk, but hang around at dwelling.
If you can spiritually separate out yourself from your mind, that is believe, consciousness and suppose yourself other and free of your mind, you will be in a a cut above and more absolute place to repulse its excuses and justifications, and to do what you really deprivation and establish to do. You will not blindly and unconsciously submit both thought, quirk and bent of the nous.
Pupil: This is existing rational control.
