These last few weeks we've been exploring several sutas that kind of point

towards how our minds work the first week we talked a little bit about how our ordinary

minds tend to engage in the world that process of experiencing something and then feeling it, perceiving it, thinking about it and you know,

carrying on from there to identify, proliferate, and then subsequently kind of seeing the world from those

perspectives that have been created by our minds. And then last week we talked about how we might begin to

watch these processes, see them, see how these processes work and the experience or the exploration of seeing these processes

of work has a very freeing result.

It doesn't seem like it would in some ways the the simplicity of the Bahia Suta, the teaching where the Buddha offers this simple

exploration of just recognize what's happening while it's happening.

He says you should train yourself.

In reference to the scene, there will be only the scene.

In reference to the herd, there will be only the herd in reference to the

sense there will be only the sensed in reference to the cognize there will be only

the cognized this is how you should train yourself. And at the surface, you know, without

unpacking it, without really diving into the meaning of it, it sounds like nothing. You know, it sounds like, yeah, you know, so I know I'm angry while I'm angry what's the big deal or

but the the perspective that he's pointing to here is not one of the simple knowing, you know, I think we have all known we were angry while we're angry and we are engaged in that anger. We are not looking at, oh, what is it like to feel a human being

that is angry?

That's the difference.

That's the difference, that perspective of,

oh, what is it like to be a human being experiencing seeing,

experiencing hearing, experiencing movement, experiencing things happening in our mind?

What is it like to be experiencing what is happening while it's happening?
