#Vedanta
Even though Vedanta says you are not your mind, it is not meant for denial of the possible trauma and pain in your life. The truth is it is not possible to truly recognize you are not your mind, until you have become free of a good deal of the disturbances in the mind. Swami Paramarthanandaji uses the acronym FIR - to point out the frequency of mental agitations, the intensity of mental agitations and the recovery period from mental agitations - if the frequency and intensity are high and the recovery is slow - we do need to address our minds - through sadhana.
Many who come to a study of Vedanta, would have faced some disappointments and other difficult experiences, some would be carrying trauma - these kind of experiences also generate negative beliefs centered around 'I'. Merely by saying that I am not the mind, I am pure consciousness, does not remove deep-rooted beliefs, nor their consequences in our daily lives. It is important to address the disturbances, the trauma and the beliefs centered around I.
The photograph gives some examples of the really hurtful beliefs that we may end up subscribing to unconsciously, even after studying Vedanta. It is much wiser to find ways to be rid of such beliefs than simply mouthing that 'I am not the mind'.
I strongly recommend the Inner Child Matrix based on EFT and other modalities.
