If you're feeling stuck on the spiritual path and not feeling the peace of the void yet here is an understanding and method to cease thoughts and feelings entirely, this could be considered a method for understanding Ajativada (The translation I prefer: No-Origination). For me this was one of those 'A ha!' moments that dissolved a few of the stickier, more persistent delusions that I still attached to, in this dissolution my awareness deepened into a newfound peace. For a long time I was trying ignore or accept thoughts, only to eventually realise even this was subtly perpetuating them.
I found that all of the understanding in the world doesn't mean anything unless you can actually experience the understanding directly, so I try to make these videos a form of meditation as well as an explanation. The aim here is to bring the viewer/listener to the understanding by way of experience.
I am aware this technique and understanding isn't for everyone. In a brief summary: Thoughts can't exist without awareness, withdraw awareness from thoughts, thoughts cease. All perceived reality is thought, ceasing thoughts ceases reality. When only awareness remains liberation is experienced.
I know that sounds very intense, this Spiritual Bleach series is composed of the most powerful and uncompromising techniques I could find and packaged into an understandable framework. This video series is intended to introduce and teach these techniques for those seeking inner peace but have stagnated.

I tried to withdraw awareness from thoughts and feelings while listening to your video. I didn't fall asleep, but a couple of times I didn't hear your words, just your voice. I like it, withdrawing the attention. Thank you.

We can’t stop thinking, thoughts stop by themselves when we cease to seek answers from them ❤
We can definitely learn to stop thinking. I've done it with mindfulness techniques and eventually entered a profound state of presence and bliss.
10:09 first stage: what is a thought? What is it made of (experientially)?
21:12 second stage (?): withdraw attention from thoughts. Instead, keep awareness focused on awareness.
Hi Corin!😊
Excellent sharing! Thank you!
My teacher said discard every thought saying "That's a thought" and the thought dissolves by itself or move/keep your attention in the bodily sensations to avoid thoughts.
I find your teaching straight away, directly to anatta!❤
So glad this was helpful! :)
@@corinbryant I resonate very much with the way you talk, your vocabulary very down to the earth , the timing...
I am sure soon you will have many followers because people are tired of spiritual jargon, Buddhist terms, even non dual "mantras".
I am so glad i found you, just by accident, searching to find details about the mega earthquake in Japan and Brazil plane crash in Sao Paulo...
This is the first video i found, i am sure i have more to watch... hope will be like an earthquake after more than 20 years of searching...
Much love and joy to you, Corin!❤👃
Wow, just realized, I was like that as a child! Until the world/people around me accused me of not being fully aware of myself and the world around me. What a shame I listened to them, thinking there's something wrong with me, when the opposite was the case! 😮
I've done this with mindfulness techniques of focusing on my breath and just observing everything. I eventually entered a profound state of presence and bliss. I fell from that state shortly after I entered it, though, because I had the thought, "Why am I feeling so incredible?" That was about 3 years ago and haven't experienced it since. However that one experience permanently relieved so much mental suffering that I struggled with for decades. What's interesting is that I wasn't trying to achieve this state, nor was I into any spiritual practices back then; I just felt called to focus on my breath in hopes of stopping ruminating thoughts. What I ended up experiencing was a miracle.
Yeah, 15 years ago I had some profound experiences and never repeated again. It has changed my entire perspective.
Love your way of explaining
Thsnks for making "the effort"
Its brilliant ❤
Stop thinking about thinking. There ya go. You did it.
Thank you so much for your very thorough explanation ! This seems to be working quite well while listening to you ! I believe in what Robert Adams has said. “Good thoughts, bad thoughts, none are my friends “, and would like to be rid of them all and for always ! I downloaded your talk and plan to listen to this again !
First time on your channel . excellent stuff thank you
Thank you :)
yes love your way of explaining like the sharer below.
Really love your videos. I feel the experience of getting close to that…non experience. Awesome work 🙏
Brilliant pointing to Ajatavada ❤ with humour I might add.
Beautiful🙏. Very well explained👌. I very much appreciated your way of analyzing the part of thought=experience of thought. Hope this helps many in the discovery of our true nature🙏.
This is also the same “method” of self enquiry (who am I of Sri Bhagavan Maharishi) where you “keep” your attention to your self and thoughts vanish.
This was great. Thank you.
You are very welcome, thank you for the comment :)
Like Papaji said : "Don't touch a thought"
Thanks for going to the effort for doing these talks. 'Ceasation'-the stilling of the mind or stopping the stream of 'narrative' and conceptualising thinking appears IS indeed possible, using a number of contemplative approaches if practiced long enough and diligently (i have found this to be true). At the point that this happens awareness clarifies and the luminous quality of conciousness is revealed. Upon returning to analytical mind of the personality and going about ones daily life, a residual of that level of the 'absolute' (or whatever it is) remains for quite some time, the day appears to run more peacefully and smoothly as a result, even if phenomena all around are unsettled. This appears to gradually increase and deepen with time but initially at least and perhapsxlikecin my case for a number of years even (depending on the amount of personal trauma possibly?) So returning to the narrating analytical and ego (personality) of the aquired mind, after the daily morning meditation, the illusion and craziness of the echo chamber of the mind begins to loose its enthralled grip on ones sense of being. In this Beings experience a profound shift has occurred but it has been gradual- over years. Now, although there are still qualities of 'identifying with' certain patterns of thought behaviour, the deep and still aspect of this Being sees right through it all like knife surgeons sharp knife and i no longer have an interest in playing most of those roles. Yet it appears 'I' can choose what to identify with, or not, to suit the navigation of life in ways that are appropriate to survival and optimal bodily health as well as being here for other Beings (it is also recognised that this is likely to be just another layer of the unfolding process and like everything in the phenomenal plane, subject to change). As a result this being certainly suffers much less than previous versions of this self structure.
...Yet as this process continues to unfold and this 'awareness' opens up and becomes more and more expanded, it has also become sensitized to the 'collective consciouse' and other 'individuals' (even none humans- like trees, plants and animals, minerals even), at first this was very much a double edged sword but again with time that has settled down, normalised. What this being sees from this is that in this world there is both suffering and there is pleasure and these are both real and at the same time just concepts of the narrating mind. These aspects of existence in the world appear to be ubiquitous and nececary for the 'World which is dual', to exist, a World that we all need to navigate. The useful result of this is that this being no longer quite so lost in identifying with the want for pleasure or the avoidance of pain- these like all aspects of the dualistic reality that we appear to be an aspect of, are 2 sides of the same (unified) coin. The suffering that we humans seem to get so caught up with, is our propensity to identify with things, beliefs. (especially the fear of a belief in a 'me that is seperate and vulnerable', a relatable and pervasive human dilemma that is often described as delusion. We all know that it doesnt feel like like a delusion if we are caught up in the very real aspects of suffering when Illness hits or the bombs are dropping around or the stomach aches for needed food and water). For this being it wasnt until it more clearly understood as a result of personal visceral or empathic experiences that there is a level of the collective conciosness experience that we call suffering experienced through at the individualised level of our being. Such levels of experience can become apparent when one has experienced suffering can empathise with the suffering of others AND has insights that unfold through certain regular meditative practices and other daily work. I have found this paradoxically both liberating and yet far more deeply connecting me to my own experiences as well as the challenges of others with whom I no longer have a sense of separation from.
This beings mind has become gradually unshacled from the collective misconception of a 'separate self identity' (which although is real is only so at a certain perceptual level). For this being this continues as a fascinating journey of unfoldment that reveals an inherent natural kind of 'joy' of existence deeper within the self structure, in a liminal space where self disappears into something indescribable, vast and yet somehow 'holding and nurturing and loving'- let's call it a kind of greater awareness that "I-am" an integral part of and am infinitely safe as/with.
I recon that for anyone already doing so- keep up the practice, until one grows faith in ones own personal journey and ones deeper 'unseperate' nature which is 'resilient' and resourced way beyond that which is accessed from the perceptual self limiting place of a separate individualised existence. When Our interconnectedness to The All, becomes revealed we have unlocked resources within which calls out to want to be shared with others whom we empathise with in their challenges and difficulties...
Would you be interested in doing a talk on Humility and Service?
It would be interesting to hear where you go with that.
Thank you.
1st time I heard" what is the substance of thought"❤
This is extraordinary. Thank you so much. 💟
You're very welcome, I'm so heartened that this was helpful :)
Thanks Corin 🎉
There's alotcof food for thought. Pardon the pun lol ... maybe u can give an example like ok so say I have a thought about something worrisome. What would u do cause a thought pops up but then ya just don't continue the thought? I appreciate ur sharing 💓 You are helping me understand more than I have .... next level. Much appreciated 🎉❤
Certainly learning to live the direct path with you my British sounding friend. We are all the same we are one connected by the vibration of the energy in between the solid and the mass. If we focus on our similarities we can see and understand the nature of reality. @corinbryant
@corinbryant my 42 yr old son is stuck in his stuff how to get the message thru is the quest
Wow you have found the 42. Write a book on this teaching and put it on Audible because you explain it better than the old masters
Thank you for your kind words
This was very good. Thank you.
What you said about ignoring the awareness is in-and-of-itself placing attention on the thing again, is very helpful to me. I always had a problem that I would describe as "thinking about thinking" and whether I thought about something (usually something that I regret) or thought about thinking about it, it would lead to the same spiral. Attention itself is a great tool, and seems to be the only tool we have to actually control thoughts. It'll be hard for me but I think this is the best meditation practice ever.
There is also no one doing these exercises, getting them wrong or right etc. That is liberation for no one, by no one. Pure grace.
When I met a teacher in 2015, the first conversation I had with him left me like this. But my mind didn’t stop, but awareness was liberated from the mental activity. Then I was looking internally at the mind from a super objective “position”. Awareness is silence and empty yet full of life. My mind didn’t stop, but awareness was finally free. The thoughts still appeared but came from the mouth of a volcano, just a dark empty place and i saw that when I go involved or grabbed them, I personalised the impersonal and thus would get lost with them or influenced what that thought meant.
'Awareness is silence and empty yet full of life' That is very well said thank you
I'm a little confused, will return and rewatch. Would love to stop the busy, complex thoughts. 😊❤ Maybe I need food ! Namaste.
Why would one want to stop thinking 'entirely, as you state in title? Being able to stop the compulsive thoughts, now thats something not many can master 💜
It's theurgy. We're not talking about walking around town this way. It's like going into deep sleep, but being aware and not out of it. It's useful for integrating spiritual truths into wisdom.
Great 🥰
I actually paused the video because I wanted to try and figure it out for a little bit. I came to many conclusions on what thoughts is and where they come from the first is it’s definitely energy because it can’t exist without energy nothing can exist without energy then I felt it contains different forms of information ex words, pictures and a feeling that it is me thinking it but when I observe the feeling of I that feels separate because I can observe it. I can’t explain where thoughts come from exactly because when you start to focus look at them they disappear fast like a snake hiding in the grass. It feels like they appear and being created from nothing and then comes and eventually goes. It is interesting to analyze thoughts because thoughts and feelings is what controls our lives to do this and that and if thoughts isn’t controlled by one self then something else controls them and makes us do what we do and we aren’t even aware of it. Tanks for your videos they came up and resonated with me ❤

I stop thinking regularly, multiple times a day. Had to learn it to deal with a stroke.. It was that or death.. litterally.. Because trying to think, burned through my energy almost instantly and bodily functions stopped working, like breathing, digesting, etc. So if I hadn´t found it, there would no longer be this form. And later.. it´s kind of hard after a stroke to stop being frustrated, because you loose so much in such a short time. but.. stopping being an I..(as soon as that came back) works.. I found this and it is worth it. It is worth everything.. I wouldn´t have agreed before, would never have understood.. but now.. yup.. definitely worth it. So... I can confirm, it is nonsense that you can not stop thinking, it is almost funny, that this is widely believed by "experts". If people say this, they have been trying unsuccesfully for a long time. But trying to stop thinking is like trying to lift your arm.. it is not lifting your arm in the hardest way possible. Try to lift your arm, nothing happens, lift your arm, were you trying? Or just doing? There is definitely an off switch, but it is a nack, like whistling, bicycling, juggling. Not just that, there is a bliss switch as well. That´s a knack too.. You do not have to connect to bliss as you stop thinking, don´t have to stop sensation, that´s actually three steps, seperate switches.. Like moving your fingers independently.
What is thought? The answer you give is one answer, let me give you another : thought is another moment. a not-now-experience. thoughts come in different shapes, they are answers to questions. Imaginings.. potential futures.. strategies.. images, sounds, feelings.. so if you do not seek any answers, don´t pay attention to anything outside now.. do not try to control, surrender.. done. you are not thinking, completely awake and sensation is still there.. or even simpler, the not now experience is also now.. It´s a nack.. you cannot expect to teach somebody whistling by describing pursing your lips and blowing. And even if you succeed, there wouldn´t be one right description.. I see all you say is completely true, I´d just say it completely differently. It´s a way to describe the knack, if it works, great. there´s other ways to describe it, other conclusions to draw from the experience of not-thinking. Other things to say.. And there is more, much more.. stopping thinking is where it all begins. Then it gets interesting. when you start to see the layered nature of the illusion. But very hard to say anything about, if there is no shared experience of not-thinking. Everything will be misunderstood. I recognise what you say and I can also hear it must sound like word salad, without the experience. Be careful who you share it with, how you share it. I have been declared psychotic on two seperate occasions by two seperate teams of doctors, because I tried to show a little bit of all this. I thought it was obvious. (They withdrew the diagnosis, but still, that took a lot of doing)
Thank you for this, both sharing the incredible experience and the wise word of caution. Sounds like you've had quite the journey my hat is off to you. Wishing you continued health and healing, and I have to say I really respect how you've come through it all with such discipline and insight - Namaste
Do you have a video with your awakening story?
So how do I withdraw awareness from the thoughts and feelings? What is that "inner" process exactly as opposed to ignoring them?
How do you not place awareness on experience or on an object? How do you withdraw it on itself? I've tried it but I wonder if I am conceptualising it. When both those thoughts don't happen (the first question or doubt about conceptualisation) is that it? I know it seems like there is doubt that's a new thought but I've able to sit quietly within awareness for a bit.
It's a fair question. The withdrawal of attention is a Ceasing of activity rather than a Doing, if you are running and it's time to stop, you cease running and therefore are no longer running. You don't have to do anything to stop you just stop.
From the sounds of it I think you have it and understand it, the momentum of the mind will slow in time and the space of peace will be easier and easier to find.
Thank you for the questions :)

Thing is i discovered all this by myself i really enjoyed video and finding a person with same conclusions.I call it attention stabilization.extending just highlights the thoughts without extending is stable.My next phase is practices for stabilization of awareness.Ivso have some progress
So you have mastered your mind. Well done. So why are you here 😂😂😂your mind must have tricked you into thinking you have not mastered it.
@@DJMikeron How I can say this to you.Game with mind is always undergoing,you just become more and more aware if it.Yes you can master in awareness and stabilization but mind is the mind it will do as he finds it fit,but doesn't mean you should accept the game.All the best.Thank you
So we don’t have to feel our feelings when they arise ? Sadness, fear…etc
Thank for this helpful video
Yes that's right, to clarify a little further I wouldn't recommend practising this method at all times and it's not intended as a total method to operate in life with, it's a meditation one can perform when one needs respite from thoughts and feelings and to interrupt the cycle of anxiety and negative emotional overwhelm, or if you simply wish to abide in total peace for a while :)
Yes you do
I used gateway tapes to withdraw into myself. First your body rests, then your mind rests. It's like deep sleep but with awareness. Time passes differently. I thought i was down for about 30 minutes. It was 3 hours later when my eyes opened, by the clock. I was awake but everything was black and silent. I was both a single point and the whole universe, all at once. It was amazing. There was no thinking, only experience.
Whoa!
Where did you buy the tapes from 😮

What;s wrong with thoughts? They happen by themselves. If you think that 'you'can stop thinking good luck. 'You' are a thought to begin with.
It is possible to see what you are without thoughts, without going to the past or the future. You then sortof fall into a silence, where not having thoughts is effortless. They wil still occur, but it's like you are in the still deep waters of the ocean whereas the thoughts are happening somewhere far away, at the surface.
There's this guy Emerson who seems to have a way of having people stop their seeking within a couple of minutes by asking a few questions. There's a playlist of over 200 videos of people finding that which they've been seeking for for sometimes 50 years. No need for beliefs, no need to stop thinking, no need for a methoid or a technique, because it's been here all along.

Enjoy!
The problem is we believe the thoughts are ours to believe. We are not our thoughts, any more that we are the LCD screen we are looking at right now. Our thoughts are not ours.
A break from thought can be the trigger to see what you are without them.
We are what is simply aware of thought, and images and feelings and sensations, effortlessly. Thoughts comment on all these afterwards, notice that delay.
If you 'believe you are your thoughts' you will always go back to believing what is being thought and that can will always lead to suffering in the end.
We are not our thoughts, any more than we are the LCD screen we are looking at right now. - well in a sense we are one, remove the belief of what we are and there is a more direct experience of what we are aware of.
All you hear about oneness and deep peace, joy, even bliss are available experiences after breaking the belief of what we think we are.
We even can have glimpses before but fall out quickly because we believe we are the thought that is commenting how good that was. At that thought it is gone.
Isn’t this a form of bypassing?
Who are you in reality to perform this, understand it or you may be bluffing by your own mind
Observe the awareness 😂
If I decide to count 1-100 in my head that is not me counting? It is not part of me? It is someone out side of me? Drugs and alcohol intend to bring positive thoughs not get rid of them like E T says in his all knowing wisdom. Is there really someone whos thoughts go away whit alcohol?
You have to let it all go, corin. Fear, doubt and disbelief. These things keep your mind racing. Free your mind.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When you stop the thoughts, the brown eye will open...👁️
I had to stop after you asked for the 30th time what a thought is made of. You saying what it isn't, get to the point, your supposed to be the teacher why I gotta guess for 5 minutes?
Thank you for your comment, to answer your question: The purpose of the question "What is a thought made of?" is to encourage the student to examine one's own experience and arrive at an experiential conclusion rather than reach an intellectual understanding. I repeat the question because focusing on this type of introspective examination is particularly tricky as the mind attempts to evade being observed this clearly, I spend a long time on this question and repeat the technique because it is far more beneficial for the student to experience the answer themselves instead of me just giving them the answer.

That's "why don't operate heavy machinery" is completely puzzling comment.
The disclaimer about operating machinery or driving is regarding the phenomena of some people falling asleep unintentionally during this practice.
Methods to stop thinking prevent the simple awareness of what actually is by imposing a distorting practice on top of the true natural movements of life, mind and body, and therefore preventing the understanding, healing and transformation of these things. You don't know anything about this because you read books and follow authorities. This is the intellectual path of knowledge accumulation, not the movement of meditation, so what you are being lost in is the thing that prevents true flowering of understanding which is not knowledge but the fruits of perceiving what actually is, which is YOUR life, YOUR world, YOUR mind, YOUR consciousness, not that of a teacher. People who understand this see how absurd it is for the left brain to spout its mere knowledge to other people who can't tell the difference between perceptual insight and conceptual thinking. Not a single thing I have said here is a theory at all, which is the difference between insight and knowledge. Everything you say is your mere conclusions, and conclusions are not perceptual insights into reality. They merely condition the brain and fool it into believing it UNDERSTANDS, but knowledge is mere representation, conclusion, theory, opinion, not understanding.
Your Western social conditioning has totally blinded you to all of this. None of the teachers except the Buddha and Jiddu Krishnamurti really explained clearly to become a LIGHT UNTO YOURSELF, to NOT FOLLOW OR DEPEND ON OTHERS, otherwise it is the growth of dependency, attachment, fear and knowledge, not the observation and understanding that liberates at all. But the Buddhas words have been translated and distorted add infinitum. He said be sceptacle of all truth claims, don't accept anything. He said don't follow another. He said you must be a light unto yourself. Same to with Krushnamurti. Following and pursuing knowledge only leads to stasis and illusion, and this is the world you live in today. DON'T ARGUE AGAINST THIS. If you do you just volley more of your intellectual confusion at me. I am saying this is so. And we can begin to transform in reality if we understand this. Otherwise it's the illusion of transformation, the mere transformation in our ideas and beliefs which is not a break from the pattern of ignorance which is all humanity has ever known.
😂 love you
Buddhas words in the Pali nikayas are just a reformulation of Advaita Vedanta. Theurgy is required to integrate these realizations into wisdom. If your mind is shut off, you experience something that is not the mind. Awareness. Pure consciousness.
And you're mistaken, I'm arguing against what you're saying. Get mad lol. Seriously tho, why read the nikayas if knowledge does no good? It's part of the process of attaining wisdom. You must integrate what you learn into experience.
When the Buddha was born he wasn’t a Buddhist because he hadn’t invented it yet.
If you want to stop thinking about this
Just ask yourself
What is my next thought going to be?
I’m no mind reader but it’s probably going to be “I’ve stopped thinking.
So just ask again and again.
what is my next thought going to be.
Enjoy.
😂😂😂
Thought is inner movement of thought.
Still thought is nirvana, period.
Everything outside is already grasped in this state and heaven no matter how outside manifests.
