Suzanne Jeffrey Again, he draws on the paper and places it on the overhead. 1. In Samsara: Person’s Brain <- -> P/M/T/K 2. Initially with mind: Brain <- P/M/T/K ↓ Mind 3. Advanced (in Meditation): Mind <- -> P/M/T/K P = Perception/Sensation M = Memorization or Memory T = Thinking or Thought K = Knowing/Cognition "Remember, we are not what we think with our brain because thinking with our brain can confuse us due to Samsara. We should not allow our brain thinking to dictate everything we do, but we should ‘think’ with our mind. Samara traps us - contains us - and forces us to see only the reality that it shows us. This is done through our habits, so we have to change our habits, but as we all know, habits are not easy to change! So we should be thinking with our mind: Everything we do, everything we are, comes from that source. We simply need to clean our mind, get rid of our defilement, and then we will be functioning with wisdom. “If we think with our brain, we allow Samsara to have control of us, our action, and our habits. In order to discover who we really are, we have to still our mind in meditation. With a still mind, we allow who we really are to surface or come into realization. We allow ourselves to become aware of ourselves. In doing this, we come to realize the greater connection we have to one another and we allow ourselves to use ‘information’ in a clear and effective way. Thinking with our mind releases us from the matrix.” Luang Por smiles, adjusts his robes, sits back in a more relaxed position, and asks if there are any questions.
