At the very least, I do not want my sense of self to continue to develop & strengthen as I get older. I want it to be weaker & more muted so I can be more in present everyday reality, accept nature and the world for what it is, & appreciate it very much as a child would.
You don’t make any decisions. You don’t judge anything. You just accept everything. If I do that for ten or fifteen minutes while walking around, I end up in a very peaceful, grateful state. Choiceless Awareness works well for me.
