(Transcribed from the YouTube Mini Series)
You know sometimes, there is a fear invoked when people start to look within themselves. They're scared of what they might find, those demons in their own mind, those unpleasant memories or parts of themselves they don't like.
But here's the beauty in doing the self-inquiry. As soon as you recognize whatever it is in your head that is going on that you don't like, it starts dissolving. In other words, the ego sense starts dissolving the moment you observe it. The egoic sense, whatever the mind is doing in other words, the egoic sense dissolves the moment you observe it. In other words, stepping back from what you're thinking. That thought no longer has the power or charge that it used to. This is how you can start breaking up those old beliefs and fears; just see them for what they are. They're nothing but neurological configurations that don't serve you anymore.
There's a whole new context in where you can look at how your mind thinks and how you deal with life situations. So if there is something there and you don't like what you're thinking, just see it as like an aberrant program in your head and tell your head what you'd like it to think. Give it a new way to think. Otherwise, it's going to default to the old programming. Just start thinking about what you want to think about it, and then tell your head what you want it to think. Tell your head what you want it to think.
