Your thoughts and sensations may often dominate your
awareness. Remember, though, that your awareness exists
beyond them.
Even when your thoughts are completely calmed, you are still
very much aware. The thoughts and sensations come and go,
and behind them all is your ever-present awareness.
The thoughts you have are the thoughts you choose to hold.
They are not you.
Although you may have been stuck in a negative, destructive
thought pattern for years or even for decades, you always
have the choice of letting it go. For ultimately, your
thoughts do not create you or define you, and they do not
have to hold you hostage.
When you know that you do not have to think, then you are
free to think whatever you choose. When you experience your
thoughts and sensations as objects flowing through your
awareness, then they no longer have the power to hold you
back.
Your mind is an enormously powerful tool that is yours to
use as you choose. Cultivate awareness beyond your thoughts,
and put all those thoughts to use in a positive, meaningful
way.
Ralph Marston
