Hi, I'm Johnny, john. So we all have habit patterns. For instance, some of us may like to speak fast, some of us like to speak slow. Some of us like particular foods, some of us hate particular foods. Some of us like to jump to conclusions Well, some of us like to analyze. So we'll have different ways of doing things of thinking.

We all have different habit patterns. Today, I want to talk about habit patterns in relation to the suffering state of the mind. Because suffering can be seen as a habit pattern of always reacting in the same way. When a similar situation arises again, by learning how a habit pattern is created, then we can know the ways of transforming our negative reactions. of our habit of always reacting negatively with fear with unhappiness. But before we carry on it has to a quick recap on what negative ideas are.

If you already are confident and knowing what negative ideas so you can skip this section before we move forward, let's do a quick recap on what negative ideas are. So there's seed cost for all forms of suffering states of the mind come from negative ideas, negative ideas, ideas we have inside which promotes self rejection. These can be simplified and understood as self declarations beginning with it is not okay for instance, it's not okay to fail. It is not okay to be arrogant. It's not okay to be angry. And when you become attached to negative ideas, for instance, it is not okay to fail when this negative Idea is triggered.

For example, by an hour to experience when you fail or when other people fail. all levels of the self will experience it a bit differently. For instance, the physical self will experience it as negative physical sensations on the body, the mental self will experience it as negative thoughts, the emotional self as negative emotions. the totality of this experience is called suffering. And this is experienced all at once, because there's no separation from within. So negative ideas at the seat cause for all your unhappiness for your negativities for all your fears.

Now, let us understand more about negative ideas in the context of life. So when we go through an experience in life, we will generate ideas about the experience. For instance, if you go to a job interview, you will be generating ideas about the interview before during and after. Now with the ideas we have and negative ideas, for instance, it is not okay to fail, it is not okay to not know what's going to happen. It's not okay to be embarrassed. If we continue to react negatively to these ideas, we will experience suffering and the stronger we react.

The stronger the fear, the stronger the negativity, the stronger the suffering. So, a habit coming back to habit patterns. Habit pattern in relation to suffering can be seen as a habit of always reacting negatively to a negative idea. This can be this habit pattern can be seen as a will. Whenever you are reacting negatively to a negative idea you're spending the will and the direction What keeps spinning this way, if you keep generating the same negative reaction again and again to stop the Will you have to do something opposite which is to not react to the negative ideas what Try not to react to the negative ideas and practice this is about For instance, if you encounter the negative idea, it is not okay to be stupid and someone say something stupid and you react negatively. And it's about forgiving the other person to come out of the experience by telling yourself it is okay to be stupid.

When you encounter it is not okay to fail situations. You have to come out of the negativity by telling yourself it is okay to fail. So, it is about developing a lot of self acceptance. That is why the key to transform our habit patterns of suffering To develop self acceptance, the other energy to cancel out the will which has been spending in a direction that's the same for us as it is spending in that direction. So we have to generate a lot of force to transform the way of suffering. We have been reacting negatively in the same situation, our lives.

So in the beginning, it won't be easy, it will be difficult, we will encounter resistance in the resistance. Because out of habit, our mind would want to go back to the old habit. ways of thinking old habit ways of reacting negatively to the experience. It's not simply going to be convinced that it's okay to fail. It's okay to be stupid. You're going to face a lot of resistance but the more you try Once you will realize that the next time you experienced the same situation the less negative reaction you will experience.

So, just keep on trying, because this is how you transform the habit patterns. So, to transformer habit pattern is about doing something different in relation to transforming the habit of suffering It is about transforming the negative ideas. It is not okay to the potential ated ideas. It is okay. Developing stillness will help you on this journey because you will naturally react this developing self knowing will help you to greatly accelerate the progress as well.
