Thinking - or not?

Dear Ones,

I think a lot of things. That's what the mind does. The mind thinks. (Whatever "the mind" is... but that's another post...!).

I saw a bumper sticker: "Don't believe everything you think." But we do! If we think it, we think it must be true! Even those flitting thoughts, those ideas about people and events and thoughts we call "feelings," that aren't really feelings.

That's the job of the mind. To think. So go ahead and think. That's what your mind is doing, anyway.

And at some point today, do this, also. Be aware that you are more than your thoughts. Someone, something, somewhere - ! - lives an awareness that is more/less/other than your thoughts. Let that awareness lead. Just let it lead you for a moment, or two, or three. Where is it? What is it? Ask it!

When you are in touch with this awareness, notice your thoughts. Yes, they are still there, doing what they do. How small they seem, in contrast to this awareness. They are part of the whole.

Enjoy!
