If we think that we are not possessed by our mind and its ego, then observe the thoughts that immediately follow the next time that you have a thought about doing something.
Until we start to observe our thoughts, we are unaware of the destructive repeating patterns that will sabotage.
Observation of thought is an important step on the path to liberation from the mind.
If we can see it, we can change it and stop associating with it.
