The Art of the Full Stop 105 about to invade your consciousness, keep the word samvara in front of you. Tell yourself, “No, let me stop. Let me keep quiet. Let me not react. Let me not be cruel." Keeping a space between you and negative vibrations, you are able to deflect the vibrations. They will evaporate into thin air under the light of your ever-present awareness. In this way, you are able to stop the continuous inflow of karmas into the waters of your consciousness. You will be able to see clearly into your depths and remove the residue.
so SEED-THOUGHTS FOR MEDITATION Close the windows when the storm is about to come. In life the storm is anger, greed, ego, and deceit.
Let me see the pain anger has caused me so that I will not want to evoke it in anyone else.
Let me see the inner cruelty of greed, how in taking more than my share, someone else has to have less.
Let me see how the ego wants to put someone else down.
Let me see the pretension in deceit, how it is centered on covering up the truth from myself and the world.
If I keep the purpose always in front of my inner eye, I will make it to the peak. I am going to make it because there is no outside agent determining my life. I am here for that purpose.
