New Realisations And Old Brain
Some things are difficult to explain, because we’re working within an old, traumatised brain that is still running in the background even though we have had new realisations.
We might be able to talk about the Dharma and compassion, but our actions may not match up because our old brain is still functioning as if our outward display doesn’t matter.
Realisation is a piece of cake compared to dropping our habitual, mental patterning. Every time we open our mouth, old brain shows itself.
Whatever we’re thinking or saying, be aware that that is not what we are. Once we identify with anything, we become a biased observer.
What we truly are is observation without an observer.
It is this realisation that frees us from our past.
Memories cause pain.
