Free from stories

Posted on by philipdodson

Stop, pause, and ask, what story am I telling myself?

Whatever the story is, you are choosing what to tell yourself.

So we can change that story at any point.

The other thing even more important than that is, it is only your mind that is creating this story or stories very often. It isn’t the real you it is just your mind and its ego.

If you want to live out the fantasies of your mind then at least choose a good one. Better still live in the real life of this moment free from any attachment to your mind and its stories.

We are not our foot

The thing is, being in the moment is straight forward at times and at other times we get dragged into our thoughts and we become unconscious within the mind.

It is journey and our level of consciousness grows. We have to undo years, often a lifetime, of conditioning that convinces us that we are our mind.

However, once we experience the conscious moment free from the mind and its endless repetitive thought patterns we never will go back to continual unconsciousness. It is the beginning of the end of our association with the mind and ego.

We realise we are no longer our mind, it is just a part of us, the same as our foot is.
