The Watcher

painting by Debi Bean ............. "Contemplation"

Using the mind to return to one's source becomes the practice.

First, become aware there are thoughts. This is your starting point.

Then become aware that there is You, watching what you call your thoughts.

There is a subject, You, and an object, your thoughts.

What is happening is the process of watching your thoughts.

When you apply your intelligence you become aware that you have a choice.

You are the Watcher and not your thoughts.


You can keep engaging the mind to follow all the thoughts and keep thinking them or you can shift your attention to the Watcher or Knower of the thoughts.
When you shift your attention to the Knower of the thoughts, you are automatically in meditative awareness.
