Serenity through the trm

You have a good, thorough understanding of exactly what your difficulties, challenges,and problems are. They are all caused by the fact that you are thinking too much, and too often.

There are two solutions: first, make an inner vow that you are not going to think so much. Your mind is like a store-room containing many things. Some of them are beautiful, but you cannot enjoy them because there are far too many for the store-room's capacity. It is far too cluttered, far too packed. Thinking in its place is a good thing; but too much of a good thing becomes a bad thing.

Second, begin the practice of "thought-replacement." Here is how this is done:

Select a positive, simple, healing, attractive phrase of four syllables. It can be, "I am free, and..." Or it can be, "Does not matter," or it can be any of a thousand others. Make sure that the phrase that you choose is attractive and pleasant, positive to the max.

This phrase is called the "trm," or "thought-replacement mechanism." It is designed precisely to solve your specific problem, which I call "overthink." It is very common.

Now comes the more challenging part: All during the day, when you have extra time, a few seconds here, a few minutes there, do not let your mind just meander aimlessly and wander around in your past. That is the old way, and it is the last thing that you want. Instead, whenever you have any spare seconds, or minutes, start "running your trm." What does this mean? It means that you start turning the trm (the four-syllable phrase) over and over in your mind. Just repeat and repeat and repeat the phrase (trm). Do this as much,and as often, as possible. Remember that your goal is to stop excess thinking.

Stay with the same trm for a year or two, or longer. The longer that you use it, the more powerful it will become. Do not keep changing it. Find one that you really like, and stick with it.

A popular trm is, "I am at peace." But find one of your own that you really like, and use it.

This will, in time, open up the Unconscious. Deep in the Unconscious, there is a Mind filled with profound wisdom, an ocean of Love, incredible tranquillity, bottomless beauty, infinite Love, and immeasurable compassion. This is perfect Mind, and It is inside of you. But thinking prevents Its "coming out," or being expressed in your everyday life. All your life, you have been "blocking" It by too much thinking.

This deep Mind is not only perfect, but has no selfconsciousness, and so is your cure for your shyness as well.

So, choose your phrase (trm), and get started right now. Run your trm as often as possible. It should be your goal to repeat it hundreds of times every day, although counting them would be distracting, and you do not want to do this.

The inner Mind is also, btw, a perfect singer.

In time, you will start to say, "I am no longer John Jones (your egoname), but I am, more and more, actually becoming this perfect Mind."

I know that this sounds incredible, but that is what you will say, someday. But you will never know how miraculously this simple meditation can work until/unless you try it. I call this technique "pervasive meditation," or, "acognitive therapy." It increases skill, decreases selfconsciousness, and gradually transforms your "ordinary" mind into perfect Mind. For It is already perfect, at a very deeply unconscious level. So, do not mistake this for "self-improvement." It is instead "selfdisappearing." For, in time, as your old self, called John Jones (egoname), disappears into this higher Mind, all your problems, hassles, and hang-ups will disappear with "John Jones" (or, whatever your egoname). But YOU will not disappear. Instead, you will become a joyful, radiant, productive, creative being of immense Mindpower. You will become a virtual fountain of Light and Love, peace and happiness, for everyone around you.

Your problems are caused by thinking. Trying to solve them by more thinking (about them) is like trying to douse flames with a flame-thrower. You must put out a fire with its opposite, water. You must solve overthink with nonthinking or unthinking. Pervasive meditation will transform your life. I know because I have been practicing it for many years! You'll love it!
