Short Moments, Many Times

Because of the habit of emphasizing points of view, the initial brief moments of awareness may not last long at first, they may almost immediately slip away. In other words, there may be no real stability. “Many times” means that we need to grow more and more confident in it by repeating the short moment. This is a key point in gaining confidence in awareness. The heart of the matter can be captured in the phrase: “short moments, many times, become automatic.”
