Hi Ivan
First let me thank you for taking benefits from your thoughts. I am very much impressed by the article and your video. My own internal thought analysis, assumptions and perceptions conform to your views and guidance.
Though you have posted it earlier to Sep 2009, I was destined to see it only today. I wish to go through all your postings and links.
When one is engrossed in his/her own thoughts and emotions, it becomes pain or pleasure. But if you detach yourself and start observing your own mind behavior and thought patterns it becomes interesting.
One thing I am a bit unclear is about past and present the states which are related to time dimension. I think existing in present time is very very difficult and requires quite a lot of training and practice.
Thanks again

Ivan – Wonderful post on an important topic! Your guidance is really on-point. I would like to add that for me personally, what helps is to place my attention in my body – perhaps in the breathing sensation in my stomach or chest. This helps me tune out, or lessen the thought activity & labeling, and helps me absorb at a more visceral level what is going on around me, particularly when I’m out in nature.

Hi Ivan. Thanks for the interesting post on “removing conditioning” to see the world in a different light. This process can transform the world around us into a stunningly new experience again and again. Here’s something about “seeing” that amazed me equally. Imagine for a moment that our brains were personal computers, hooked into a kind of “Cosmic Internet”. Think of this place as a “Universe Wide Web” if you like, and the Source of our ideas and feelings and intuitions. Just like on the everyday internet, there’s software “out there” that can be downloaded. The most special software gives us “Vision”. To download it, you learn to take away fears of judgment. When this inhibiting fear is removed, your brain is updated and you have eyes to see something astonishingly important. Namely, who you are and what to do with your life. Practically speaking, you see which careers are meant for you, and what opportunities make sense. You see which way to take your life, because that “software update” brings with it passion for some special life-activity that you’ll go make a living doing. With Vision, you look around at the world and see your place in it. Add this kind of insight to your life along with the process of “removing conditioning” and Joy flows in along with beauty.
