Day One Hundred and Fifty Two


The mind perceives things. Objects and thoughts meet the mind in the same way that finger meets stone. When my finger meets the stone, thought follows quickly, even if only 'this is touching'. The mind and thought seem to arise at the same time, that is the mind makes the object's characteristics seem solid with thought and those thoughts make the mind or observer seem solid. I understand more about feeling being an important point of release in the chain of causation. It is where the sense of self is not yet created.

Deeper, the sense of self is seen to arise. By what? I am not sure, but my will becomes motivated to move outside, in some direction that does not further define me. I breathe out all of my possesions and breathe in release.
