My mind keeps running around! Around!! GET BACK HERE.
My mind might run, but I'm the one who likes and believes in the feelings of gratification it seeks. I choose to pursue them.
Tiny little lights that sparkle and charm, that make me shimmy a little with excitement and release. In this way I miss out on the true treasure.
The place of action is to look at it, to put consciousness on it. What is this? Why do I pursue soimething that is not really there?? I believe over and over in gratification, and think I am achieving it, even if only for a moment. More pursuit. Repeat.
It's a sparkle!. A shimmer! A happy shimmy! No more. NO SUBSTANCE.
I want what is real.
I have disciplined my mind in key ways. This is next. I no longer believe in gratification.
"I don't believe in ________" is my playful way of saying _________ is an illusion."*
I don't believe in suffering. Suffering comes from wrong thinking. It is only consciousness. Nothing happens to me.
Now, I do not believe in gratification. Believing in it is followed closely by thinking I am experiencing lack, or frustration. None of these things are actually happening to me.
I don't want to fly on this mental swing, mistaken storymaking anymore.
Consciousness dissolves consciousness.

*In Kashmir Shaivism, everything is made of divine consciousness, which is real. This includes consciousness as delusion. Everything. It isn't things or consciousness that are not real.
The beginning of delusion is to believe in something that is false. The experience of delusion is persisting in being mistaken.
