Am I in the experience or am I in my thoughts about my experience?

Our thoughts are not reality, they are just thoughts. They differ from person to person and hold no innate stability.
Thoughts so easily create a kind of film over reality, which often separates us from truth, from ourselves and our sense of connectedness with life.

Becoming aware of what is our mind; thoughts formed into a way of seeing and believing,
and what is grounded in truth; reality, senses, presence and right view beyond mind, is the quintessential process of spiritual awakening.

The more we resist something, the more power we give it.

What we give our attention to is getting all the attention. What we focus on becomes the focus.
Are we giving attention to what we want or what we don’t want?
Are we focusing on our fear or on our growth?

I for one know it’s oftentimes really hard being human. It’s challenging and tiring and at times heartbreaking.
But we always have kindness. We can always bring kindness and goodness of being alongside all we know.
Life is beautiful because of this.
