We come to see that the mind talks all the time because we give it a job to do.

We come to see that the mind talks all the time because we give it a job to do. We use it as a protection mechanism, a form of defence. Ultimately, it attempts to make us feel more secure. As long as that is what we want, we will be forced to constantly use our mind to buffer ourself from life, instead of living it.


This world is unfolding and really has very little to do with us or our thoughts. It was here long before we came, and it will be here long after we leave. In the name of attempting to hold the world together, we’re really just trying to hold ourself together. True personal growth is about transcending the part of us that is not okay and needs protection. This is done by constantly remembering that we are the one inside that notices the voice talking. That is the way out.


The one inside who is aware that we are always talking to ourself about ourself is always silent. It is a doorway to the depths of our being. To be aware that we are watching the voice talk is to stand on the threshold of a fantastic inner journey. If used properly, the same mental voice that has been a source of worry, distraction, and general neurosis can become the launching ground for true awakening. Come to know the one who watches the intuitive voice, and we will come to know one of the great mysteries of creation.
