[Inquiry said] the self-centered condition of the brainā¦

Regarding whether the brain can awaken to what is, I think we should start with little things and not look too far. The more we see little things clearly, the more capable we will be of seeing more risky and unsafe things clearly. It is like opening the door a crack and letting some light in. the more we do this, the more power we will have of completely opening the door.

Yes, but I donāt think I can choose to do this, since I am the problem. If, however, thereās an unconscious intention to look more closely, listen more intently, be more acutely aware, thatās what happens, and it starts with whatever is at hand, be it big or little.
