Q: How does one eliminate feelings, thoughts, grief, fear, cravings, and addictions while meditating? Are positive affirmations useful for this?
Adyashanti: Stop trying to eliminate anything. It is the belief that a thing needs to be eliminated that maintains its existence. Be an open space for whatever arises. When everything is allowed to arise, you have the opportunity to perceive that which does not arise or subside. You are That. Positive affirmations are fine for the mind only. Leave the mind to the mind. You are not this mind. Stop trying to rearrange your mind and discover what lies before it. You are the consciousness that contains the mind. Ask yourself this question, before the mind, body, and emotions: Who am I? Meditate on that. Seek the seeker.
