it is time to take a step back from ourselves and start to objectively observe the mind in action.
Make unconscious thinking conscious.
The more we can remain in the role of impartial observer of the
thoughts rather than being wrapped up in the thoughts, the less impact
they have on our peace. Thoughts themselves do not cause us to suffer. Suffering comes from our relationship with thoughts.
It’s easy to take off your clothes and have sex.
People do it all the time. But opening up your soul to someone, letting
them into your spirit, thoughts, fears, future, hopes, dreams… that’s
being naked. (Rob Bell)
