When you listen to a thought, you are aware not only of the thought but also of yourself as the witness of the thought. A new dimension of consciousness has come in.

When you recognize this, you also realize that you are now free to give up this futile conflict, this inner state of war.

And whenever you feel that essence in another, you also feel it in yourself.

We have forgotten what rocks and plants still know - we have forgotten how to be - to be still - to be ourselves - to be where life is here and now

We would destroy ourselves and the planet if no change happens, because of the amplification of the egoic state through science and technology.

Awareness takes over from thinking. Instead of being in charge of your life, thinking becomes the servant of awareness.

Some people get attached to their practice. They get good at it, but even becoming a good meditator can become a hindrance.
