Darkness that Accompanies Ordinary Patterns of Mind

"Darkness that Accompanies Ordinary Patterns of Mind" from DTS pg.329. "this exercise can help you become aware in a new way of the darkness that accompanies ordinary patterns of mind: the compulsive, repetitive thoughts, the forget­ting that catches us up in the content of thoughts, and the emotional responses. You may notice how personal identity and ownership are linked to this darker side: how the telling of stories blocks light through the claims of substance and identity. These insights can have a powerful impact in cutting through the struc­tures of the prevailing order and the limits it conducts." Picture submitted by David Filippone
