To understand our own thinking is to understand all thinking.
As you inquire into issues and turn judgments around, you come to see that every perceived problem appearing "out there" is really nothing more than a misperception within your own thinking.
Since the past is unreal and the future is unreal, all your thoughts are about nothing.
Until we question our stressful thoughts, we remain victims of the images in our head.
We do not mature through age. We mature in awareness.
It is easy to be swept away by some overwhelming feeling, so it's helpful to remember that any stressful feeling is like a compassionate alarm clock that says, "You're caught in the dream."
