2. Pay attention to your mind in this way:
   (a) What thoughts do you see that you are willing to let go of? Shift attention away from those thoughts by moving attention to what’s happening now or to your sense of being.
   (b) What thoughts do you see that you are not willing to let go of? Realize those thoughts represent your fear of letting go of deficiency cognition, which is the separate egoic point of view. Just be aware of this. That’s all you are asked to do.
