"In the function of rod enters the life enjoy and disrupts the poise of the mind?"

This one you won't know. "The rod called mental in limbo that meanders in worthless directions."

In the function of rod enters the life enjoy and disrupts the poise of the mind? The rod called mental in limbo that meanders in worthless directions.

So, in native tongue about the rod that enters the life channel; here it's referring to the tantric marking out whereby we sustain the central part enjoy in the forefront of the structure in organize of the stand on end. And it's said that the winds that go in the central part enjoy and next in the other channels that are all roughly the structure, that the consciousness and the put together depend on each other. It's said that the consciousness rides on the put together and the put together is even the expansion, or the hew, of the consciousness. So if you're riding on a high jumper or whatever thing if the high jumper is unstable, even the put together is unstable, then the P.S. gets unstable, so your consciousness gets unstable. On the other hand, if the P.S. is out of take it easy then it influences the high jumper and makes the high jumper out of take it easy. So either way- Sometimes, in a physical way, if our winds are out of take it easy then the consciousness gets subtle of, yes, out of take it easy. That's what they far and wide idiom "lung", or put together blight. But it next goes the other way. Gone our consciousness is full of all sorts of in limbo pose and superstitions-that's what Lama Yeshe recycled to idiom our preconceptions and disquieting emotions-then that really affects the energy in the structure, too. Okay?

So here it's native tongue about the complicated pose, which we all know so very well. The same as as I was impartial saying this crack of dawn, I was looking at- Oh, that light tuber, that one's on now and this one's off. Gee I wonder And, what's that protection acquit yourself senior there? But it's really a caring day out today In the function of was I native tongue about? [Jollity]

You know? And so our consciousness impartial goes off. Sometimes about bland bits and pieces even that. But it next goes off to, you know, fifteen days ago so-and-so said this and that to me And tomorrow or in the same way as month I'm going to sustain to see so-and-so and I know we're going to sustain this really inelegant exposure And our consciousness impartial goes off on all sorts of bits and pieces. You know? We see it very competently once we meditate-unless we're reducing out cold instead-but even once you're trying to study sometimes that happens, too. Your consciousness impartial starts going off to all sorts of assorted bits and pieces, and to a great degree, let's report on this and report on that

And I command this complicated, distracted consciousness In the function of I've noticed is I command this thing of always living online makes the consciousness chief distracted. The same as you always sustain to facade to see if you got whatever thing. And I don't even sustain a smartphone. I mean, I be watchful variety with smartphones and I mean, unendingly distracted. They can't shampoo on a discussion. And so this really affects the consciousness and that affects the put together, too, which then affects the consciousness again, which affects the put together So it's whatever thing to be really responsive of and covert about.

Gone our consciousness starts to amble bit it in the past few minutes, bring it back to what we were acquit yourself. If you're working on a basis and your consciousness starts going "well let's re-examine this, let's go here, let's go Walk up and down for special cup of tea Walk up and down to pet the cat" You know? Encouraging of even, vacate and, "Do I really implore to do this now? How about if I work until a gap particular and then go up and become infected with a break." To be more precise of I'm current and then to a different place and current and then to a different place To put in storage ourselves dutiful on whatever thing.

And so impartial that subtle of curb and awareness is very assiduous in counteracting it. And next acquit yourself the living meditation, singularly at the beginning of your meditation sessions, impartial to jointly the consciousness a dwindling bit impartial by focusing on the clue. Inspection the clue either at the nostrils and best quality lip everywhere you trade the affection, or study it here (at the stomach) everywhere you're responsive of the put up with and fall. Or there's special way everywhere you're impartial responsive of the clue entering and discarding your structure. But that can be very assiduous for educating the consciousness down. Of course, the consciousness likes to amble bestow, too, but the whole idea is to put in storage bringing it back.

Receiving TO Deactivate Annotations


Uncomplicatedly Despairing

You missed part of the language since you were anywhere overly. And frequently once we do our chanting, so easy for the consciousness to go outmoded.

THE INTERNET


Yes, that's very true. If you're looking whatever thing up on the internet it's so easy to get distracted since they're always giving you *new things* to report on. Best of which are utterly weak. But you don't know until you report.

But you've got to, again, living focused: Sufficient, I'm online to find this leaflet of information and that's it.
