Be still within awareness, as awareness
by Brian Thompson
You mistakenly believe yourself to be whatever the mind implies.
You are not any thought, for you are the presence of awareness in which all thoughts appear. You are that which is aware, here and now. Everything else is a momentary event that’s passing through awareness, including every thought, emotion, sensation, perception, and belief.
Any sense of unhappiness, displeasure, or discontent that experienced is not truly yours; it is the mind’s. And the mind is not you. What we call the mind is just a stream of thoughts that we mistakenly self-identify with. But in reality, the mind doesn’t even exist; it only appears to when you give it the energy of attention.
Stop feeding the mind. Stop listening to it. Stop arguing with it. Stop trusting it and ignore it.
No longer give it the power of your belief and its restless worry will soon dissolve. The ego will always have problems, but your true Self, Pure Awareness, has no problems whatsoever.
