Next, intentionally shift your attention from your head (which is where our energy is usually focused) into your body. Each time you hear your little voice, pause and celebrate a moment of awareness the fact that you’re hearing it means that there’s another part of you awakening-the you whom the narrator is narrating to. Each time you catch the voice in your head describing or commentating on your life, practice a new habit: directly experiencing your actual experience. With desire, willingness, and intention, any habit can be changed. Listening to the little voice in your head is a habit-one with deep roots, survival instincts, and lots of practice, but still a habit. Interestingly, such experiences-the ones in which awareness of our self disappears, when there is experience but no I doing it-are the ones that we later describe as wholly satisfying, blissful, and even divine. Awareness remains, even when we lose the felt sense of our self as the one doing our life. We do not disappear, which suggests that we are indeed more than mind. And while the mind has convinced us otherwise, what we discover is that when the mind is not there self-referencing and reminding us of our self, we still exist. We become the experience we become life, rather than the one who’s living it, and all notion of time and a separate I disappears. We're no longer the one doing the activity we're literally absorbed into the experience itself. In flow, we're so engaged in what we’re doing that we cease to be aware of our self. If you’ve ever been deeply involved in an activity, you might have experienced what’s referred to as flow state. The Vulgate inserts a negation, "Cease not to hear doctrine, and be not ignorant of the war, is of knowledge " Septuagint, "A son who fails to keep the instruction of his father will meditate evil sayings." Solomon's son Rehoboam greatly needed the admonition contained in this verse.The good news is that you don’t have to live this way. You will only increase your guilt by knowing the way of righteousness perfectly, while you refuse to walk therein. if you are only going to continue your evil doings. But as musar is used in a good sense throughout this book, it is better to regard the injunction as warning against listening to wise teaching with no intention of profiting by it: "Cease to hear instruction in order to err," etc. This version fairly represents the terse original, if musar, "instruction," be taken in a bad sense, like the "profane and vain babblings and oppositions of the knowledge which is falsely so called," censured by St. Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge.
