Rather than look outside of ourselves for familiar ways to escape old heartaches, let us turn our attention around... and choose, instead, to become aware of a (lower) level of consciousness that secretly enables the continuation of (our) suffering. In this new action, and the Light of revelation it creates, awaits the Truth that sets us free.

There is no such thing as a reaction that isn't old. All negative reactions are old, though they feel new. Reactions seem like a "light" that tells us what's really going on and what we need to do about it. But they are dead, old, from the past. What we call "thinking" (esp. in an unwanted moment) is simply a reaction, to a reaction, ad infinitum. "Addicted To Reliving Painful Useless Reactions" ("A-TRP-UR"). See how many times in a day you can catch "A-TRP-UR," where a reaction seems useful but is actually useless because it doesn't change anything. Observe the reaction, but don't do anything with what you see. Just see it. Anything you do to attempt to dispel the useless painful reaction IS that reaction continuing itself. See all of this, and the seeing itself will be part of what frees you. Catch and release painful, useless reactions. Don't try to suppress reactions. SEE that they are there. This is what sets the stage for eventually separating from the chain of reactions.
