We are so comfortable in the shelter of our thoughts and feelings. They are the environment we spend nearly all of our life confined within. We think they are who we are. Truly they are more like an incubator or the walls of a cocoon. They provide a place for us to grow and to be transformed.
To become free, and to soar into joy as we are meant to do, we must emerge from the world of thoughts into pure consciousness without thought. "How can there be consciousness without thought?" we might ask. We think consciousness is thought. But actually thoughts arise from still consciousness. That is who we really are—and we rarely see a glimpse!
