Read this and understand immediately who you are
The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. However, if used wrongly, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately, it is not so much that you use your mind wrongly — you usually don’t use it at all.
Instead, it uses you. This is the disease. You believe that you are your mind but this is a delusion.
In reality, the instrument has taken you over.
Either you master your mind or it masters you. The secret of living an extraordinary life is to take control of the mind since this alone will determine whether you live in a suffering state or a beautiful state.
80 to 90 percent of most people’s thinking is not only repetitive and useless but because of its dysfunctional and often negative nature, much of it is also harmful.
Becoming free.
Watch the thinker. Become aware of the voice in your head and realize that you are not your mind, instead, you’re merely an observer of your mind.
The moment you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness becomes activated.
You are this consciousness. Pure consciousness.
