Transcript

Let us practice becoming a detached observer.

Imagine sitting in the cinema.

You are watching the movie and not losing the awareness that you are just sitting in your head,

Watching through your body's eyes as those flickering colored lights dance across on a blank white screen,

Out there in front of you.

You do not lose the awareness of the simple truth which says that there is no reality in the movie.

It's just a movie.

It's just a story.

You are therefore not surprised or shocked or indeed moved by any of the images or by any of the characters and events within the story.

Not because you don't care,

Not because you are resisting the movie maker's attempts to manipulate your emotions,

But because you don't lose awareness of yourself as the detached observer.

But because you don't lose awareness of yourself as the detached observer and that what you are observing is not real.

In fact,

You clearly know that the story itself is an illusion of an illusion.

Now observe the thoughts that appear on the screen of your mind,

Just like the movie screen.

You watch them come and go.

You watch them come and go.

You watch them come and go.

You watch them come and go.

You watch them come and go.

Again,

Not because you do not care and not because you are resisting the mind's attempts to replay the past or project the future,

But because you don't lose awareness of yourself as the detached observer and that what you are observing is not real.

The only thing that is real is the present moment.

Any attempt to live at another time is an illusion.

Notice the pace of your thoughts have slowed down now and a sense of peace has begun to fill the cinema of your mind.
