How to Think- Part 2

Despite this success, I began to detect one constant counteraction, opposing to my intentions to make or change something. In other words, the counteraction shows when I start to act. I have detected a presence of different programs in the mind, which aim is to prevent me from acting and to force or convince me to stay in a state of inactivity. Usually the sentences, which start to suggest these programs are: there is no sense for you to do that you are wasting you time as you do that lie down for a while, you do not need to get up so early there is no use for you to hurry, there's a new day tomorrow people will make fun of you nothing will come of it this is nonsense don't you get bored of this, give it up keep quiet, because you can make a fool of yourself don't take it up, you can't make it you'll make a mistake if you do this you're not in the mood to do this
there are many other, you can recognize them by yourself.

To cope with this counteraction I needed to practise my will and my ability to remember as I could. A lot of time of constant practising, however, is needed in order to succeed in this. And this is the only way that I use to pierce the counterction and find freedom. In order to remove these suggestions I need to invent words, phrases or sentences, which lock these programs for suggestion and even tumble them down and remove them, all by means of repetition. My definition for ‘will' is: Will is the effort, applied by me, to stay in my place, despite the exerted pressure on me to be removed... We have to exercise and remember the important things because if we forget them, we will repeat the same mistakes over and over again, which is a waste of time. We can say that the ability to forget is also a result of deleting an important for us things by means of external intervention. There are programs in ourselves, which do not allow us to remember the things we want. The best way to remember what we want, is to repeat it. Now I will draw a general conclusion and will add some things left.

There is one thing, which makes us think. It initiates, it is the beginning itself. And that is the doubt. If we believe, there is nothing to think of - everything is already settled. But if we start to have doubts about something - belief, however, does not work anymore, it is finished. Belief, in essence, is concentration on ideas, and accepting them as final and undeniable truth. Doubt brings to coming out of concentration, dispute and analysis, which actually is thinking. Coming out of concentration leads to enhancement of the attention, which is sweep with a glance of everything that surrounds us. To pay attention means to miss not a detail of the whole picture, to see everything that happened around us and with us. I guess you know this is very hard to achieve.You can not do it all at once, constancy and will are necessary.

You will need to be steadfast and uncompromising. Hesitation creates situations and cries out agents, which aim is to force the hesitation, so that we become neutralized and took out of ourselves. The process of our neutralization and losing our self-control, and the hesitation itself are results that bring us back. Each hesitation makes a huge part of our work go to waste. When we are out of control, stop paying attention or when we are not present, the system can easily bring back to us everything that we have set free!
