Seeing The Reaction

Every moment the ego reveals itself through the story that is being told in reaction to the environment. This is the internal monologue.

When the mind is noisy, every moment is filled with the ego’s narration and reaction to the world and the people in it.

There is an all-pervading assumption, a conditioned story that exists about the world and everything in it which colors the reaction. It is “the way things are” and “the way I am.” These assumptions are held and accepted as fact without question. 

Through meditation, seeing, and vigilance, more energy is claimed and put into awareness. Then, the all-pervading assumptions begins to crumble, the conditioning is exposed, a once great authority begins to fail. 

Then the reactions don’t carry their weight anymore, they are questioned the instant they arise.

The awareness then has enough power to choose what is true and what is false.

Then reality is seen for what it truly is.
