Words of Wisdom for September 19, 2026

The main place where the idea of “self” and “me” is found is in the mind. You might notice as you’re tuning into the experience of thinking that actually a lot of the thoughts are about ourselves – maybe the majority of thinking that goes on in your mind is really about you or the story of you in some way. Even if it seems to be about someone else, it’s usually about them in relationship to you. So we create this drama in which we are the stars, whether it’s in the role of hero or victim, good person or bad person, successful or unsuccessful … you. And each of those is just an idea, just a thought.
