monday mindfulness

[Jim T]

"The function of store consciousness
is to receive and maintain
seeds and their habit energies,
so they can manifest in the world, or remain dormant."

"... the good news. It is possible for us to change our habit
energies. And in fact, in order to transform we must change them. ...

The easiest way to do this is with a Sangha, a group of people who
practice mindfulness together. If we put ourselves in an environment
where we can practice deeply with other people, we will be able to
change our habit energies. Through the practice of mindfulness, we can
identify the seeds in us and recognize the habit energies that go
along with them. With mindfulness, we can observe our habit energies
and begin to transform them. "
