How to wake yourself up

The mind can be like one of those ceiling fans

Spinning so fast you can't see the blades

Thoughts stream through

Grabbing your attention

We get caught up in them without knowing

Held hostage by our own minds

It's stressful

Overwhelming

We try to numb or distract

Or control

Or clear the mind

Or be dispassionate.

Or aware

Thoughts are symptoms though

The cause?

The source?

YOU!

Consciousness

The lens though which you see, experience and judge EVERYTHING

It can function in two modes -- infinite and finite

Both have their uses

BUT the infinite is often unnoticed

Unappreciated

Unutilised

Like the projector in the cinema

Quiet

Yet the source of the show

You need to come home

To your SELF

That part of you by which your experience of life can be

The light of consciousness, in which and by which thoughts can be

How do you get to know your SELF?

Stop looking

Just be

That's it
