It is an interesting question to ponder, "what if any, is the default setting of the human mind?" "Becoming" is that it? Everyone seems to be in a state of trying to achieve something, to become better, at what they perceive themselves to be. Yet to become requires awareness, hence awareness may be the default setting of the human mind/brain. We must be aware that we are aware!
Why do thoughts arise on their own volition? This happens when we are consciously trying to navigate the things in our life. Awareness is just there in stillness, when we are not becoming. Doesn't this lead one to consider, is this awareness "deeper" when our thoughts are in abeyance? Our thought process is vital to our survival yet much of our thinking arises from our programed unconscious mind. If we are aware of this involuntary process then our unsolicited thoughts will gradually subside. Now consider this awareness minus our compulsive thinking. This will be something entirely new, (just what) we must find out for our selves. It seems possible that this could lead us to what is natural, our true nature. Also consider with thoughts arising, without choice, is like being nearly unconscious. Surely this is a state that is unnatural, meaning that there possibly must be a natural state i e, awareness. It seems we are unaware of how much we are trapped inside of our own programed thinking. We are living in a kind of darkness, which helps explain the current state of world affairs.
In a state of awareness one is not trying to become something, the default setting of awareness is already there, this eliminates the need for us to do anything (becoming) except to be aware that we are aware. We can call this meditation as long as we are not trying to become, what we already are.
This is DT on the road, to the absence of conflict and true natural freedom.
