You and your thoughts are not the same!

But we believe the opposite... we believe that: Me and my thoughts are the same!

This is the core belief we suffer from. This is the race sleep. We identify with out thoughts. We think we ARE our thoughts...

Who would you be without the thought: You and your thoughts are the same! This is an amazing insight - to understand this core belief. Just think of the freedom that would arise. You would wake up and laugh.

You would realize that.... Me and my thoughts are not the same! You would see that your thoughts are just your thoughts... and your identification with your thoughts would lessen or even stop...

This is the great breakthrough in consciousness that is taking place for many of us right now. And this is what we can learn from meditation - because in meditation we see and experience the difference between the observing/witnessing consciousness and our thoughts. And this is what waking up is all about... Suddenly we see and understand that there is consciousness and then thoughts arise in this consciousness. But up until we wake up and see this, we believe that we and our thoughts are the same. And as long as we identify with our thoughts, we suffer.

When we understand this we also begin to see that our thoughts don't mean a thing! They're just thoughts and they come and they go... And with this understanding you can go within and look at all your stuff and come out smiling. Because you can see it's just "stuff"... and "stuff" doesn't mean a thing! You have maybe been taking all your "stuff" very seriously all your life (I know I have) but when you wake up one sunny day and see that all your "stuff" doesn't mean a thing... well then life is fun and you realize that you're perfectly OK and always have been and always will be!

Love you!
