“REACTION”
If we can become aware, through self-observation in innermost stillness, of the fact that reactions only serve to deepen our identification with the mind (ego) and strengthen the mind (ego), we will begin to choose to move away from the internal state of reacting.
Reaction is the unconscious assertion by the mind (ego), assertion of illusion, so if it were to occur under awareness, it would no longer be unconscious reaction, but it would merely be a physical memory, a habit ingrained in the body. In this way, if the reaction becomes an object to be recognized and observed by awareness, we will clearly be in the next stage in spiritual awakening.
It is in the dismantling stage where it is detached from us and its roots are about to be revealed, so it would no longer have the power to manipulate us.

The important thing in spiritual awakening is to be in a state of free from any judgment (comparison).
Furthermore, it is always to remain completely detached from any and all known, such as knowledge, concepts, dogma, ideas, experiences as well.
All of these are so powerfully connected to the mind (ego) that they not only hinder spiritual awakening or its deepening, but they only serve to further strengthen the mind (ego).
No matter what stage of spiritual awakening we are in, it is not doing something because it is good to do it, or we shouldn’t do something because it is bad. In all cases, our spiritual awakening will deepen only when we spontaneously begin to choose to be in line with the essence by becoming aware of the true nature of our own words, actions or things, and its transformation is not intentional but inevitable.
As long as there are intentions, efforts, comparisons, or judgments, or etc., we are in a state of identification with the mind (ego), so the emphasis is on doership, that is, on doing, without realizing it. Therefore, we would be far from silence and peace with dramatic emotional storms, such as sense of superiority or inferiority of the self, or reactions, and we would be full of deceptions as well to avoid losing the meaning of the personal existence, which is the separated and isolated mind (ego).
It means, we are being fooled by the mind (ego) because of unawareness.
So, for example, when our belief as the attachment (concept, dogma, etc.) of the mind (ego) is shaken, or we move away from the deception-reinforcing influences (the brain always gathers information that supports what we believe), the illusion of spiritual awakening will disappear as well.
It is just like the psychological synchronization phenomenon, the metronome synchronization phenomenon, even if one thinks as if spiritual awakening deepens temporarily due to influences such as the ambiguity of the boundary between self and others, once one leaves such influences, the mere power of the self-suggestion is weakened and, in the end, a true transformation does never occur. And thus, it is also a common pattern for the mind (ego) to pile on further deceptions more and more, as falling into a vicious circle.
That’s why it is so important for the essence, for deepening spiritual awakening, to surrender the mind (ego) to the unknown.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
First of all, become aware of your own reactions, and abide with a state of awareness as an observer.
Always remain in a state of one step back from the drama created by the mind (ego) symbolized by reactions, and also remain continuity with observation of everything about yourself as awareness.
Then the spiritual wisdom that truly guides you will be revealed one by one.
࿓࿓࿓࿓࿓
Stay away from your own reactions, any thoughts whether good or bad, or all the attachments. (OM 🙏)
