Meditation on Phenomena and the 4 Aspects of True Paths

The Fourth Noble Truth — True Pathway Minds

The fourth close placement of mindfulness is on phenomena in terms of the four aspects of the fourth noble truth. “Phenomena” in this context refers to the mental factors and specifically the factor of discriminating awareness. The discriminating awareness, here, discriminates between what is to be rejected, namely the impossible ways of “me” existing, and what is to be accepted, namely the absence or voidness of those impossible “me”s.

We focus on that discriminating awareness in terms of a true path, which means a true pathway mind leading to liberation and enlightenment. The general close placement of mindfulness on this discriminating awareness is that it lacks an impossible “me.” There’s no impossible “me” that has that discriminating awareness and is using it like a tool to deconstruct unreality.
