[FairfieldLife] "No Effort" means no need for self-reflexive monitoring

[emptyb...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife]]

 As MMY used to point out: 
  
 Recollecting the mantra (boing, boing) is simple, natural remembering and does 
not require some special or applied effort at recall. Therefore, the first 
shift of attention from thinking/feeling/sensing is effortless because 
remembering the mantra is effortless.
  
 Recognizing “Oh, I am now thinking” is also a natural occurrence and does not 
require self-reflective examination, mental analysis or any type of 
self-monitoring process. Therefore, the second shift of attention is also 
effortless.
  
 Therefore … since two shifts of attention were effortless, likewise the third 
shift.
  
 Returning to the mantra (boing, boing), is the third shift of attention and is 
just recollecting it like the first shift of attention … “I was thinking of 
something other than the mantra. “Oh … boing, boing”.
