<strong>Oneness</strong><br />

formed by the ego and its views of separation. The more<br />

we can acknowledge these thoughts when they arise, the<br />

more capable we are of replacing them with more positive<br />

thoughts, or replacing them with our awareness.<br />

The ego and the conditioned mind are acted out<br />

unconsciously. If we can make the unconscious conscious,<br />

we have already taken the most important step in<br />

reconditioning ourselves to live life with more awareness.<br />

Practice being aware of your mind. Try not to be<br />

consumed by your mind, and focus more on being present<br />

to life as it is happening in this moment. If you are<br />

attentive, you will notice that the only time you ever suffer<br />

is when you take seriously the thoughts that arise in your<br />

mind—when you cling to thought and resist the moment<br />

of life happening now, rather than flowing with life and<br />

letting nature take its course.<br />

As long as you are living fully attentive to the present<br />

moment, and flowing with the current of change, you will<br />

be at peace, and will be able to fully engage yourself in<br />

whatever presents itself to you.<br />

Practice mindfulness so that you may undo the<br />

conditioning that has been done to you, and so that you<br />

may be able to live life free of the mind, and free of the<br />

conditioning that takes away your peace. Discover the joy<br />

that comes from simply being alive, from being present to<br />

life, and realizing that you are life, and you are not separate<br />

from the environment around you. Mindfulness is the tool<br />

that we need to use in order to let go of our limited past,<br />

and embrace the infinite realm of possibilities that exist in<br />

this moment.<br />
