I don't want it to end, and so, as every therapist knows, the ego does not want an end to its “problems” because they are part of its identity. If no one will listen to my sad story, I can tell it to myself in my head, over and over, and feel sorry for myself, and so have an identity as someone who is being treated unfairly by life or other people, fate or God. It gives definition to my self-image, makes me into someone, and that is all that matters to the ego.

When you are fully conscious, drama does not come into your life anymore.

every complaint is a little story the mind makes up that you completely believe in.

I am the hole on the flute that Gods breath flows through.

Let go of thought, become still and alert, and don't try to understand or explain.

The state of presence is the only state in which creative energy is available to you.

In the unawakened state you don't use thought, but thought uses you. You are, one could almost say, possessed by thought, which is the collective conditioning of the human mind that goes back many thousands of years. You don't see anything as it is, but distorted and reduced by mental labels, concepts, judgments, opinions and reactive patterns.
