Insight
🎯 Core Shift
You are not your thoughts. You are the awareness watching them.
Most suffering comes from:
- Past thoughts (regret, resentment)
- Future thoughts (anxiety, fear)
- Resistance to what is
💡 The Pain-Body
Old emotional pain that lives in your mind. Observe it with awareness—don't become it.
🧭 Presence
Watch thoughts without being them. In that space, suffering dissolves.
Reflection
🧠 The Thinking Trap
We're addicted to thinking. The mind creates problems that don't exist.
"Acceptance of the unacceptable is the greatest source of grace."
📅 Only Now Exists
Past = memory. Future = projection. Only Now is real.
Practice
Watch Your Thoughts
Pause. Observe thoughts like clouds. You are not your thoughts—you're the awareness watching them.
Accept What Is
Stop fighting reality. Acceptance ≠ liking. It means no resistance.
Return to the Now
Ask: "What problem exists right now?" Usually: none. Problems exist only in thoughts about past/future.
Observe the Pain-Body
When emotions arise, observe with curiosity. Don't become the pain—be the awareness that knows it.
