awareness not neurosis.

When you practice (if you practice) - look within.

As you move deeper into the aching muscles, the stiff joint(s), the busy mind, a transformation occurs. The transformation is caused by the fact that (you) are getting some space between you and you.

You are taking yourself into a practice that is undoing who you think you are.

Crazy no?

YOU are what you are, and YOU may be relatively unhappy with who YOU think YOU are. So it is best to see that who YOU are is not a fixed thing at all. It is a condition at best, and a condition can be changed.

Detach and watch what the mind does. It panics. It needs to survive and it cannot survive without you.

The BIG YOU and the little you are not the same thing. You need to see the difference.

Chasing money, or desiring the perfect relationship is the forlorn hope of the ego. 'Thing will get better' it tells us.

WHEN?

 How can things get better in the future when the future does not exist?

'You' only have 'now' to make a change and the only change 'you need' is the one that lets 'you' see that 'you' are not 'your' thoughts.

In the silence that follows there is peace.
