Then let go.

Lay them aside.

Be aware and know them as they arise.

This mind is already being conditioned.

It's been trained and conditioned to turn away and spin out from a state of pure awareness.

As it spins, it creates conditioned phenomena which further influence the mind and the proliferation carries on.

The process gives birth to the good, the evil and everything else under the sun.

The Buddha taught to abandon it all.

Initially, however, you have to familiarize yourself with the theory in order that you'll be able to abandon it all at the later stage.

This is a natural process.

The mind is just this way.

Psychological factors are just this way.

When wisdom, pañña, views things correctly and with insight, this right view then leads to right intention, right speech, right action, and so on.

This all involves psychological conditions that have arisen from that pure knowing awareness.

This knowing is like a lantern shedding light on the path ahead on a dark night.

If the knowing is right, it is in accordance with truth.

It will pervade and illuminate each of the other steps on the path in turn.

Whatever we experience, it all arises from within this knowing.

If this mind did not exist, the knowing would not exist either.

All this is phenomena of the mind.
