Self-inquiry works because it changes the way attention moves. Investigating the question to whom does this appear? of every thought that arises instead of subscribing to its babbling narrative gradually moves into an experiential stability in the absence of the me which all thoughts refer to in some way. The me in thought is what makes it so sparkly and interesting; Ooh! Those mental noises are referring to me! This demands my attention! When thats no longer followed, belief in it starts to fall away, and attention is free to wander and notice all lifes thunderous beauty and the causeless joy of being. What we pay attention to creates our conscious experience, and theres a lot of awesome shit that gets missed because attentions so wrapped up in believed mental narrative. Remove the identification, remove the interest in the mind. Remove the interest in the mind, remove the attention from the mind. Remove the attention from the mind, start really living in the actual world.
