' The Natural State '...

"The natural state is what is directly experienced when there is no identification with thoughts.

It’s not a state of mind because it doesn’t come and go.

The natural state prevails—it’s natural.

When our attention is placed on thoughts/external world then we are no longer aware of it as we are distracted by stories.

The natural state never moves… attention goes elsewhere!

So the natural state is a little more subtle than any state of mind.

In the natural state there is rest within."
