With mindful awareness, YOU are not your thoughts unless YOU choose them.

Your action from a choice within, which requires no reason, no content of thought, is pure creation.

What does your direct experience tell you about seeking a person or a place in the future? The very act of doing so means that you choose to tell yourself that things are not okay right now. This creates an inner conflict with yourself as you resist reality. It is like saying to the present moment “I WANT this," and reality replies “Okay, you WANT this.” And, once more, nothing changes. There you are, wanting, resisting, and challenging the essence of life that is unfolding in front of you.

There are my thoughts, feelings, and sensations... and here I am.

In the struggle of resistance we react. In the power of non-resistance we respond.

Without mindful awareness, the shadows of your past may haunt your present.
