The thoughts are changing, you are not.

You are experiencing those thoughts.

The experience changes, the thoughts change, but you are not.

And so it's hard to put words on, but you sink into that.

being or you rest as that being or you relax as that being and then you those thoughts may or may not continue but if you buy into those thoughts that's what contracts you so if you start getting lost in the thoughts or lost in anything lost in a sexual relationship lost in your work but when you get lost in those thoughts

You feel suffering because you're not yourself, true self.

You're lost in the stream of thoughts.

So the checking is, are you free?

Even if thoughts are moving,

Are you free as they move?

Are you the awareness or the space of awareness, however you want to say it, in which those thoughts are moving?

And if you can stay there, just rest, relax there, it's effortless.

It's just what you always are.

So if you feel that effort coming up, you know you're missing the mark.

It's kind of worse than that.

Brilliant.

Because we've

suppressed a lot.

So let's say you told a lie to somebody.

This is just one example.
