July 6th
(Day 187)
One must be very vigilant, as the mind will want to capture your awakening and conceptualize it.
This is why, in the beginning, we have a sort of roller-coaster ride up and down. We Realize, the mind captures, etc., until such time as the mind cannot capture the deeper and deeper Realizations, having no more concepts to relate them to.
This is also why a Teacher/Guru can be invaluable because the Teacher sees when you are temporarily under the control of the mind, and swats you with a dharma slap to wake you up again.
