In this recording, Christopher Murphy explains the differences between thought observation and the Taoist practice of sitting and forgetting. He examines how actively restraining the mind through practices like chitta nirodha contrasts with letting go of past attachments to quiet the thought process. Murphy also discusses other methods—such as self-inquiry and breath control—that help dissolve the habitual patterns of thought and ultimately lead to a more present, clear state of consciousness.

Dealing With the Problem of Thought

Philosophy is the pathless path; our inborn search for Truth. It is the hope of Christopher Murphy that through his teaching endeavors he can remind others of this innate search for Truth and empower them to see the Eternal with their own eyes.
