working with the mind can be useful to subjugate the obscurations of the karma.
we all have karmas trapped in our thoughts, we can enter into a hypnotised state where we view the mind as a state of seperated natures.
imagine a set of thoughts that are little round blobs each with karma and colour, once you have entered into this state you can begin talking with these thoughts individually and counselling them, adding teachings of compassion, tonglen, giving and recieving and then recieving again (to recieve suffering into a thought and to dissolve that suffering and replace what has been taken with an emotion or thought which brings about happiness and the causes of happiness.
this is relative boddhicitta.
you can create any positive emotion and dissolve any negative thought into it.
you can empty the mind completely yet believe in the iam and youll enter into the super conscious realm.
at first your mind wont be ready for that but thats where your going.
for those still on the journey up
