However, we tend to dwell in the constructs and the labels and the programs that we have for so long that we identify with them. Oh, I've been a mother for eight years. I have three kids. So this is how I'm supposed to act. That's a construct. Oh, I'm a man. And so I'm supposed to act this way and feel this type of feelings. I'm not supposed to feel my feelings as much. No, that's a construct.

You went to this school. You're supposed to act this way. You're a construct. You're this religion. You're supposed to act this way. That's a construct. You think you're all of those things, but you are the thing that is behind all of those labels. And then you have these thoughts, which is the hardest thing to disconnect from. Because you can say, okay, yeah, my name is Rob.

Robert, if I'm being exact. I was given the name Robert when I was born. I can see how I'm not Robert. But I can see how I'm not a podcaster and I'm not this and I'm not that. I'm truly behind all of it. But what about these thoughts that are going on in my head? Like, isn't that me? If it's in my head, it's gotta be me. Like, aren't my thoughts me?

And this is where a lot of suffering comes from is that people identify with their thoughts. You think that you're your thoughts. So you say that you are. And as a result, you end up feeling like a victim of your mind rather than the consciousness that's behind all of it. Just as the same as the bird, he forgot he's not the water and he can fly away at any time.

And so it's really interesting when you start to dive deep into this idea of you are not your thoughts, and I've spent hours thinking about this and just really going deep down the rabbit hole, is that you realize a thought is just something that's old.

a thought is just something that's old whether it's something that you learned or something that was you know accidentally programmed into you or something that you just picked up along the way they're never new in the moment thoughts they're always from somewhere else and so anytime that you get caught up in your mind You need to actually remind yourself that you're free from it.

That you're separate from it. And we'll talk about this a little bit more. But, you know, just as the bird. The bird's flying through the air. He lands on a lake. He hangs out for a really long time. He forgets he can fly. So he's there so long he starts to identify with the lake. The bird forgets he can fly. He's programmed into thinking that he's the water. He's programmed out of his flying.
