○Consciousness [20]

     People who think of quitting halfway because they can't do well are trapped in thinking of success or failure. Therefore, it becomes difficult to take the first step when trying something new. The ego fears loss of confidence and damage to one's pride. In such times, try it experimentally to see if it suits you. Then, even if it doesn't suit you, it's easier to quit because the result of the experiment has come out. When you find something that fits, it becomes harder to quit and your abilities are naturally demonstrated.

    When you follow your curiosity, intuition, impulse, and motivation naturally come from within. If you follow your intuition, you can continue naturally. Conversely, there is also an intuition that you're bored.

    The standards of good and evil that people have differ based on past memories, cultural backgrounds, etc. Even looking at helping people, there can be unwelcome favors. There is an essential goodwill in actions that occur naturally when one becomes no-minded.

    When you like someone and act thinking of the other person, it may be called love or affection. If it seeks even a little return, disappointment awaits when there is no return. It may be selfishness disguised as affection or selfishness mixed with affection. Conversely, the ability to continue giving even without return is pure affection. Like when parents raise their children. An action free of desire is affection itself, and there is no anger even when betrayed. Conversely, the ego is also a thought that considers profit and loss. In other words, love or affection is an intuitive action that comes from consciousness, and it is consciousness itself. The world made of consciousness is also made of affection.

    Through life experiences, humans grow from beginners to experts, from immature to mature, from crude to refined, from violent to non-violent, from chaotic to harmonious, from conflict to peace, from thinking to no-mind, from ego to consciousness. Growth is also a characteristic of consciousness.
