How to make a conscious decision in every situation?
Without letting your conditioned mind influence your decision.
Every time you make decisions...
What to write?
What to read?
What to be?
What to eat?
What to see?
What to wear?
What to listen?
There are so many whats and ifs...
The key is to not let your conditioned mind influence your decisions.
All the whats and ifs, arise when you start thinking about the past, future, and present.
Past is your memory, future is imagination through your memory and present is your thinking, action, or reaction based on your memory...
you see someone asking for help.
Thoughts arise, help her, judge her, ignore her, just look at her.
Now, you want to make a decision.
When you listen to your left side, you will get answers like, ignore her and judge her...
look at her she is young and beautiful, she will find her way out.
When you listen to your right side, you will get answers like go to her, help her, and start a conversation with her.
Now, you compare your thoughts from the left and right sides based on your memory.
Your memory contains all those things, taught by society, parents, teachers, books, religion, movies, and everything you consumed so far...
you make decisions based on the situation, and appearance by looking at your memory.
Don't wait for your mind to go through all the conditions and come up with an answer like; don't help her, don't talk to her, she is a stranger, what will people say bluh bluh bluh... don't listen to your mind.
When you close your mind you will notice a light inside you, which is not in your memory. It's something you have never experienced before, it is in that present moment. Fresh for your mind to convert it into a memory.
The awareness of everything happening at that moment will help you to feel that moment, it's your life, it's the reality.
The awareness of the connection between you and the universe, the thing that made it happen for you. What is the universe? Is it the cosmos you imagine in your mind based on your memory? or it's a present that's happening at that moment?
I am not here to answer your questions, I don't have the answers. no one has the answer.
If someone tells you; listen, this is the right way to make a decision. They are just making assumptions based on their memory.
The point I am trying to convey is...
Every moment is fresh and it can bring limitless possibilities.
Before making any decision or assumption, try to be in that moment first.
When you become present in that moment, you will experience something new, you never experienced before in your life.
Hadi.
