Hi, I'm Johnny john. So today I want to talk about the steps required for us to transform the suffering states of the mind. To recap what is the suffering states of the mind. Suffering is any negative state of the mind, which creates unhappiness from within it can be a state of fear, a state of anger, or impatience, and so forth. So how do we transform the suffering states of the mind so we don't have to experience them again. And the last video, we learned that, oh, the, the seed costs of all forms of sufferings come back to negative ideas, ideas, which promote the rejection of the self suffering is experienced when we become attached to these negative ideas.

So to release ourselves from the suffering, we release ourselves from the attachment to these negative ideas. So whether it be fear, impatience or anger, that you're trying to transform, you simply release your attachment. You simply discover the negative ideas and release your attachment towards them. They know more suffering. Simple, right? But it's not as simple as it seems.

Because how hard it is to forgive someone, even which, if we try how hard it is to let go of foul attachment to what's the negative ideas, we have to what someone that has angered us, you see, some negative ideas can be so deeply rooted in our consciousness that is hard to let go. And the other reason is because each time we react negatively in the suffering experience was dense, letting that anger build up. We're essentially creating negative energy, feel for the negative idea to take root even deeper now consciousness and we can we will react negatively were essentially sustaining the negative ideas. So how do we break ourselves from this never ending cycle of negative reactions in suffering? Remember, the first few videos we talked about the importance of developing stillness and knowing. Developing stillness is what creates progress.

On the path because creating stillness will create knowing, and in this case by developing stillness will allow you to observe those suffering experiences with a camera mind, rather than simply reacting negatively. For instance, instead of thinking of ways to punch that someone in the face, when we experience anger, stillness will allow us to observe it more calmly, allowing us to take our attention inwards, to observe what's happening inside and develop the knowing of the negative ideas that we need to address. Is that we need to transform that we need to release. So developing stillness and knowing is really important. And another important thing is the attitude we have when we are trying to transform ourselves. Remember, we're not trying to destroy ourselves, if we have the mentality, to criticize ourselves to destroy our sufferings will only create more negativity.

That is why we say we're trying to transform ourselves. We're trying to transform the consciousness. We can't destroy their consciousness, but we can transform it. Consciousness is in essence, consciousness, energy, conscious energy, and they can be transformed. Now in terms of the, the process of releasing our attachment towards negative ideas, it's important to understand what releasing attachment really means. How this letting go, what this releasing means to the consciousness.

It's important to know this so we know where we want to take our mind towards. So let us look at this. So let me explain. So letting go releasing attachment towards negative ideas. And a consciousness essentially means to transform the negative ideas into the opposite of what it is. That is how it's released.

And the opposite of negative ideas or potentially ated ideas, negative ideas, ideas, which promote the rejection of the self potentiated idea. So the opposite, they promote the acceptance of the self. let me simplify it even further. So we're trying to transform the self declaration that is not okay. To It's okay. For example, it is not okay to fail to it.

It's okay to fail. And as we work on this transformation Have the negative ideas towards this direction. Oh, negative physical sensations, negative emotions, negative thoughts to do with failing will disappear because it's okay to fail. And it's important to remember that we're working on the state of the mind rather than the action. So we're not trying to become a failure outside. We're trying to reach that acceptance that it's okay to fail on the inside.

If you truly accept that it's okay to fail. There will be no fear of failing, there will be no negative judgments towards others in ourselves when we fail, because it's okay to fail. And as we work on transforming negative ideas into potentiated ideas, Olivos of the self will be potentially hated. Because negative ideas limit the self potential created. Ideas remove these limitations, allowing us to create more potential allow To expand our potential and create greater happiness in life. So in summary, to transform our sufferings, to transform and release our sufferings, we simply release our attachment to what's the negative idea striving to experience.

The process of releasing attachment is the process of transforming the negative ideas and to the potential ideas of transforming ideas which promote the rejection of the self, towards the acceptance of the self. So essentially, it's a journey of developing self acceptance and developing stillness and knowing what helped you on this journey. And the next video we will look at this process in more detail and the ways to accelerate the journey with catalysts. So I'll see you in the Next video
