4.2.2.1 What is the illusory nature of all activity of the mind?

The meditative practice for allowing transcendental awareness to unfold is, yet again, simplicity itself. Whatever thoughts, ideas or emotions arise, neither inhibit nor encourage – simply observe. If this practice is carried out as instructed, the illusory nature of mental activity will be realised.

Your mind has now been trained to a degree of extraordinary alertness. It is capable of recognising the moment of birth of each thought, emotion or idea. All that is required at this stage is that whatever arises in your mind be allowed to do so freely, without any interference from you – simply be aware of each moment’s mental activity without becoming involved.
