Free(ze) your mind and the rest will come
Tags:
If you can't free your mind, then at least freeze your mind. All you have to do is to add Ze to Free and the rest will come.
Note that freeze is in point, free is everywhere. The Ze adds contraction but this is good enough for now. It's the simplest but not the easiest.
If you can't freeze your mind, then at least observe and accept your mind. No Free and No Ze, just be attentive to the content. It's the easiest but not the simplest.

Accepting while trying to change
The problem that I always see is that once one starts to try to change things actively (e.g. freeze the thought process) then the purity of his acceptance in other mental venues is spoiled. Suddenly, the acceptance is not total, there is some parallel process now in the mind that looks for eliminating things instead of accepting them as they are.
In other words, once the mind gets a green light to change things in one issue, it tends to apply the new approach on other issues, a somewhat global state of mind changes.
If adopting both approaches in the same period of time, one has to be extra careful to make sure his/her acceptance is still pure while when trying to do some "active" technique like stopping the thinking process, he/she must make sure that he/she do it with all power and dedication.
Cute ;-)
... but really, 'freezing' is the mind's modus operandi. The mind operates in "freeze frame" mode already, viewing everything as a "thing". In truth, thing-ness is nonexistent.
The mind overlays "it" and "thing" and "subject" and "object" onto a reality it cannot otherwise grasp. This tendency is transcended only when the grasping is seen as futile, as the source of suffering.
