' Becoming the Witness '...

One method we use to help us on the path is mindfulness. Becoming the witness. Watching yourself continuously. Watching your thoughts. Watching your actions.

Sitting in meditation and watching what goes on in your mind. Not trying to change anything or correct anything. Just observing. Becoming the witness to your thoughts in meditation, and to your actions in the waking state.

The trouble is we compare ourselves with others or we compare what we read in books.
We read about people who go there and become enlightened all of a sudden, they awaken, they have all kinds of good feelings.

We shouldn't judge these things.
Everyone is divine.

Everyone will eventually awaken.

Do not look at any body else, at the feelings they have or they don't have.
You are unique in your own imitable way.

You are you.
