That's okay.

Now you will reach a point where you will recognize this knowingness is more like space.

It's not like a background screen.

It is more like space and thoughts are welcoming to it.

Let the thoughts come.

They can analyze.

They cannot disturb the knowingness.

The knowingness is knowing that the thoughts are coming.

They are very logical thoughts because they are being monitored now by the knowingness.

The knowingness is not becoming the thought.

Now the knowingness knows that I am the Malik,

The owner of the house and not the slave.

So now the knowingness is there and the thought just does what it's supposed to do as a tool and it goes away.

So now there is no more enmity with thoughts.

Now thoughts have become tools.

Yes,

A feeling arises.

It's a tool to know that,

Oh,

I'm hungry.

My stomach is growling.

Feeling arises.

The sensation arises.

Oh,

I'm thirsty.

Yes,

The feelings have now become tools rather than ruling the house and being the Malik,

The owner,

The boss.

That has gone away.

So now start on the next journey.

Welcoming whatever is,

Is welcome.

Whatever wants to come can come,

I will not negotiate with it.

Oh,

I don't want to see you,

Mr.

Fear or I want to push away this mis-anger.

No,

Everything that comes is welcome into this space.

The knower knows this is there.

The knower is the boss.

You will notice that they don't have a power on you now.

Slowly,

Slowly from being a line on sand,

They become a line on water.

And then slowly,

Slowly even that fades away.

This is called the crumbling of the ego.

Just be established in your mind.

Stress.
