after seeking subjects such as these for a while you start to realize there is something like a program running the mind. once you find your own you also start to see it running others.
seeing the program (ego?) was easy for me but slowing it down enough to stop it is the real challange.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29203778 Perhaps a minor point.
"slowing it down" is not really possible.
I have used the train analogy before.
The dualistic consciousness being on a moving train; the observing consciousness standing in the train station.
Slowing down the train does not help; it is still dualistic.
The issue is jumping
off of the train.
In other words, stand
outside of the spatiality and the desire/fear reflexes of the consciousness of the "self" and 'thinker'.
You say that you are "seeing the program" of the "self" or the 'thinker'.
What Krishnamurti always said is that to
observe the duality is to be
apart from the duality. If you are still caught in the duality you are not really
observing it. You are still on the moving train rather than in the train station. Your energy is still being parasitized.
