Notice how without even being aware of it, most of the day and night, you consider yourself to be a person and most of your thoughts are about me, my life, my work, my home, my future, my relationships.
So you remain preoccupied caught up in the feelings, the emotions. This spin goes on and on. When you turn your attention to the formless reality of awareness, it’s a totally different matter altogether.
You are not defined by the thoughts that appear to you, nor are you defined by the feelings and the emotions that appear to you.
The wide open sky is not defined by the clouds no matter what shape they take.
