Witnessing my thoughts

If I can be still, I become a presence which is not defined by my thoughts.

It is a presence with no concept of self, no attachments and no suffering.

It is freedom.

I am struggling at the moment with the idea of ‘no self’ but I think the concept does not mean we do not exist as individuals, but that we can also exist as one consciousness. Having a concept of self is useful in helping us navigate the world and survive, but we tend to let this illusion of being an individual self take over our lives. Letting thoughts go seems to take us into a state of 'no self', no attachments and hence no suffering.

While writing this, I was listening to a David Bowie song which seems very appropriate...

Fill Your Heart by David Bowie

Fill your heart with love today
Don't play the game of time
Things that happened in the past
Only happened in your Mind
Only in your Mind, ah forget your Mind
And you'll be free-yeah
The writing's on the wall
Free-yeah And you can know it all
If you choose. Just remember
Lovers never lose
'Cause they are Free of thoughts unpure
And of thoughts unkind
Gentleness clears the soul
Love cleans the mind
And makes it Free

Oh happiness is happening
Dragons have been bled
Gentleness is everywhere
Fear's just in your Head
Only in your Head
Fear is in your Head
Only in your Head
So Forget your Head
And you'll be free
The writing's on the wall
Free-yeah, And you can know it all
If you choose. Just remember
Lovers never lose
'Cause they are free of thoughts unpure
And of thoughts unkind
Gentleness clears the soul
Love will clean your the mind
And make you Free
