24 HGG Tips - What I'm working on

I write up some personal docs to re-read to remind myself what I'm working on when old vasanas and klishta take over.

Last time I posted one people found it useful, hopefully people will again.

1. Indryas > Sub-conscious processing > Ego shaping > Conscious perception > The eternal witness.
2. All sensory input is neutral, it is the shaping of that data into the current perception that adds Klishta, suffering, stress, worry, anxiety etc. Question what us objectively true and what is being added / filled in by the mind.
3. You do not have a problem with inaction, you have a problem with too much unproductive action.
4. You can't think your way out of a rut, action must come first. You don't need motivation, energy or to feel good to start acting, that is a reward, karma fruiting, not a pre-requisite.
5. Rest and recreation comes in-between or after productive action, it's not an alternative.
6. The mind and body are an instrument, constantly being reshaped weather you are aware of it or not, weather you want it or not. So try and shape it with intent.
7. How is Ego, either grossly or subtly shaping your motivations and goals? How is it preventing you from acting and reacting to your environment correctly?
8. Your wants should be about taking a single step in the right direction, not about becoming someone, or moving away from a current Identity. Take ego out of it.
9. You can't control yourself like a robot, because you identify with the robot.
10. This is the life, the karma, the mind, the body you inherited today. Shape it today through action and reaction to build a better inheritance for tomorrow.
11. Take your time, be patient, today is there to be experienced, each moment, not rushed past.
12. Everyone is doing the best they know how to do.
13. Reclaim attention, make a choice for 20 minutes, direct it, keep it one pointed not fragmented.
14. Love all parts of self unconditionally, let go of tension and let emotions move. Feel on the body what you've kept stuck
15. Giving into desire signs you up to more suffering in the future, it just creates more craving to give into the desire again.
16. To act without ego is to act & respond appropriately & highly effectively to your environment & the world around you.
17. Indryas lead to thoughts & actions, see video game posts, crave video games, see political news, feel despair.
18. You can build a mind that can resist tempting Indryas, but don't make training it harder than it needs to be, or it will just slow you down.
19. If we get inspired by a piece of content to go do something, that inspiration is coming from the content, not from ourselves.
20. Scrolling and phone use propagates agami karma of fractured attention. Fractured attention is unpleasant, single pointed attention is pleasant.
21. Social anxiety is felt by the instrument not you. If your video game character was feeling anxiety, if you identified with the character you would feel it, identify as the witness and you won't.
22. Put in the work to craft the best instrument you can, both physically and mentally.
23. A lot of your suffering comes from a misalignment between historical vasanas and your newer sublimated ego. You need to work on dissolving both or your experience won't feel right even if your life is objectively improving.
24. Don't mistake a lack of progress for a lack of progress.
