Are You Awakening
In a moment of disappointment, the mind asked where I went wrong. The mind quickly offered reasons, one at a time, and then flung each one into a fire of negativity. Within a few minutes the mind had built a roaring fire of failure, and personal worthlessness. That burns the worst.
Then one day the mind happened to get a glimpse of itself. In that moment the mind saw itself, and had a realization. The experience was of a sudden knowing that rose independently from within.
Thought and Self are two separate things.
This realization was not a conceptual understanding, it was a knowing - like when you finally see something for yourself, and now you know it. ‘There’s thought, and That which notices it, is not that.’
Thought was noticed. When the mind notices its own thought, as if someone else had said it, this is the mind seeing and noticing itself. The program seeing the program.
It was noticed, that as thought popped in, the mind had been automatically believing and going along with it. Like there was no adult in the room. Whatever the mind said, it just went along with it, never noticing how unnecessary or unfounded what it was saying actually was.
There was no presence noticing these thoughts and no one examining them against Reality.
This is why being the eyewitness to thought is an empowering practice. Once we notice the habitual, negative, debilitative thinking, we can recognize it for what it actually is. Static. Nothing but noise that blocks out great ideas, waves of enjoyment, and the whispers from Intuition and the Universe. Being the eyewitness to what thought says and does, allows us to dump this unnecessary, sabotaging noise.
Waking up from thought is like a fish that wakes up to the water, and the fact that he's submersed in it, and how its making him feel. Once the fish wakes up to the water, only then can he choose a cleaner, easier, more enjoyable place to swim.
When we wake up to unnecessary, unfounded, unnoticed thought, we can choose an authentic, more enjoyable place to live.
EMPOWERMENT:
Today I will notice thought, and examine it against unbiased Reality. Today I will have freedom. Today I will live authentically.
