**Note: Truth does not always sound pleasant. If the mind is not really peaceful now, it might not be a perfect moment to listen to this podcast, one has to be aware of the emotions or reactions that can block one from listenING ATTENTIVELY and with HUMILITY. This talk is a meditation practice. What one needs to do is listen attentively, without getting stuck in words, examine the mind in silence, no agree or disagree, just look at the mind as it is. Doing so is already a meditation practice.

The conclusions,

The views,

The assumptions is all out of these self-centered activities.

All simply speaking is created by the self.

The self is always judging,

Always comparing,

Always measuring,

Always concluding.

The self is making all kinds of images.

So the self is interpreting the neural level experience and becomes the experience on the consciousness.

The self believes in it,

Feels the past is so true.

In other words,

When the self believes in the past,

The self is worshipping the self.

And in that worshipping,

Everything feels so true.

And the mind is trapped in that worship,

Self-worship forever.

So in this self-worship,

All kinds of experiences become part of the self,

Based on which the self seeks more experiences,

Enhancing the self in many bigger ways.

So the past becomes me,

Me is the past.

Look around this world.

The past is so important,

Almost every society is based on the past,

Perpetuating the self.
