There is an intuitive knowing within us that we are eternal but this gets covered over with the noise we create while identifying with the impermanent.
Mind is there, in front of you. Don't log in.
The nature of illusion is that, when you see through it, it disappears.
Let the mind come as it wants; just you don't go with it. The greatest salesman in the world cannot sell you if you don't buy.
Something is aware of even the energy of confusion inside of you. There is no need to get unconfused. Leave it - it will pass.
All you need to do is recognize your true position as the witness. You only have to do this for some time, until the spell is broken. Even after the spell is broken these mental tendencies may arise, but without any power, just like you can see the moon in the daylight.
There is no need to believe or disbelieve your thoughts - just don't enter anything. They don't distract you - you get distracted. Nothing exists in itself as a distraction - it is you who get distracted. Why?
