The great breakthrough in consciousness - the great awakening - is realizing that you and your thoughts are 2 different things. Up until we begin to wake up, we believe that we are our thoughts. We think and we believe that this is who we are. We identify with our thoughts - and thus we suffer.
When we sit and meditate, sooner or later, we make the great discovery that we are sitting and then there are thoughts arising and that they are 2 different things. This is the great awakening, the great discovery, the sword of awareness cutting through the illusion.
Please sit and watch and see that this is true. The ramifications of this discovery will change your life. Go and sit today. And watch. Watch the thought that is coming. You can give it a name, say this is the thought about dinner, this is the thought about the weather, this is the thought about my boyfriend, this is the thought about the pain in my back... Watch how they arise. One after another and then they disappear. But who is watching? Who are you? Please think about these things! This is the key to freedom.
