Hi, I'm Johnny Joel. So in the last video we talked about how to transform the suffering states of the mind. So we don't have to experience them again. This is about discovering the negative ideas driving out suffering experiences and transforming them into the opposite of what is what they are, which is potentiated ideas. So basically transforming ideas which promote the rejection of the self towards ideas which promote the acceptance of the self. Today, we're looking at the ways to accelerate this process with catalysts and what are catalyst.

A catalyst is something which accelerates a process. Let me give a few examples we can understand it better. For instance, there may be a person trying to push a stone will. He wants to push it to its desired destination But he's pushing it in a way that's going to take forever. For instance, he's pushing it with a flat on the ground. Now, if someone with the right knowledge comes along, brings to us awareness that if he pushes the stone will upright, he won't be able to reach his destination, and less time and effort will save a lot of time and effort for this person.

So knowledge is the catalyst, because within the right knowledge, you'll be able to use your effort more wisely, more efficiently. These videos can be seen as catalysts as well, because I created these videos to give you the right knowledge to transform your sufferings, to push that wheel of transformation more efficiently. Without the right knowledge we can spend a lot of time and effort addressing ourselves Things like trying to attack trying to put out the fire by attacking the flames rather than extinguishing it at the work. You know, for years, I tried to address my sufferings in a very inefficient manner. Sometimes I would suppress it while most of the time I would hide it. And there are times I would try to express at least a blow up.

But it was only when I realized the cause of suffering, the sequence of suffering, that I was able to use my knowledge, my efforts, I was able to use my knowledge to apply it more efficiently and achieve greater results. And now that you know the seat cause of all your forms of sufferings come from negative ideas, you at least have a grasping point. Because suffering is something that is difficult to deal with because it's so intangible when we do not have to Right knowledge we'd be asking where did the fear come from? Where did the anger come from? It's like fighting with shadows. We don't know how to solve the problem if we do not know what caused the problem, but now that you know oh sufferings began with negative ideas at least you have the grasping point.

Next time you experienced anger, for example, you can question yourself what other negative ideas behind this experience? Perhaps it is not okay to be rude. And that will be your starting point. And then you can invert it to the opposite of what it is potentially to the ideas. It has okay to be rude. So now you have a journey that has no okay to be rude to us, okay to be rude.

This will give you a clue of the spiritual journey that you have to take the spiritual journey of self acceptance. That's You have to take to create self transformation to release your suffering states of the mind. And no doubt on your journey, you will encounter many confusions in darkness because the mind out of old habits will kick in. As you try to transform your negative ideas, it's going to question you. Why is it okay to be rude? Wesley, okay for others to be rude, why it's okay for me to be rude.

How dare they be rude? It's bad to be rude. And as a result, you'll most likely abandon the journey because the mind has convinced you to carry on with our old habit of negatively reacting. The old habit of suffering again and again. That is why I keep on stressing the importance of developing stillness, because stillness will help to cease these unnecessary and the dialogues and help you to see clearer and sides of what's happening inside and negative ideas behind them to invest your energy in a more efficient way. So instead of thinking of solutions to punish others, will allow you to look inwards and think of solutions to solve that confusion on the side.

Well, that's also another reason why I created the website creation within creation calm, because there I will put various catalysts, various articles on how to deal with particular sufferings. And reading these will help you will help guide you out of the confusion you may face. You'll also be able to find techniques, ways to accelerate the process and what and know what kind of life experiences you have to fill your life with, to accelerate particular transformation of sufferings. So in summary, with the right knowledge We can use it more properly. Of course in the beginning the knowledge will come from someone who has been on the journey before like me. And these will be stepping stones for you.

The most valuable knowledge is experience knowledge. So use my knowledge as stepping stones for you to develop your own experience knowledge. And this is this will help to transform your mind. And then next video we will look at this summary for the for everything that we have covered in the last seven videos so we have a proper understanding outline of the entire journey. So I'll see you then.
