It seems that in order to continuously think one must be half ‘asleep’. That means to be aware of what one is thinking. We are mostly not aware of what we are thinking WHEN we are thinking it. Have you ever tried to be aware of your thoughts as they come into fruition; before the word; just watching the movement of energy before the label; before thought has categorized it and given it a face?  It is only afterwards that we realize WHAT we were thinking about: thought is the aftertracing of what has already taken place. You cannot think of something in the present moment. Thinking only happens in Response To the present moment. There is stimuli, sensation and then thought steps in. The beauty of all this is that you can investigate this all yourself. There is no taking anyone else’s word for it. Isn’t that beautiful? If you do take someone else’s word for it, then you are missing the point and have “lost the thread” as they say. You are the investigator, the investigated, the guru and the acolyte all in one. This is how it is all designed within the All That Is. You are The Guide and The Follower; The Teacher and The Student; The Seeker and The Source. It is All Within You. You are The Ailment and The Healer. Once this is Realized all Seeking stops. You are Home.

"Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you. Stop acting so small. You are the Universe in ecstatic motion."
