The simple realization of the powerfully magnetic aspect that the mind exerts on our field of consciousness is already a great achievement.
Affirming knowledge of the different mechanisms will then increase the potential for defusing as identification with a particular mechanism becomes stronger and stronger.
However, the simple realization of the outrageous theft represented by the usual functioning of the mind is salutary.

I mean, we notice mind primacy and notice it as the root cause,
Thereby, we initiate realisation.
Like confessing one’s « sins », in a way,
or, even more precisely, realising one has something to confess.
Sorry for the parallel with Christian practices,
I know you certainly are in a good mood on a Saturday morning and I don’t wish to ruin it.
