Most spiritual disciplines center around mindfulness of psychological thoughts, that is to say, to be aware of their interfering nature. I would add the feeling dimension, though thought and feelings are no doubt linked, it gives us an additional dimension of exploration. We can be aware of the presence of “thought-feeling-energy” and how it gets initiated, how it travels through our system, and how it might be let go of.
The third dimension is experience. God operates within and without. Our self-identification interferes with what is within and without. Awareness of “thought-feeling-experience”, and their interdependence, is the mindfulness tool that is at our disposal. We can spot the self-induced interference on the outside, just as much as the magic on the outside when we get the self out of the Way. Open mind, open heart, open eyes!
