The realm of consciousness is much vaster than thought can grasp. When you no longer believe everything you think, you step out of thought and see clearly that the thinker is not who you are.
Nothing that comes and goes is you.
"I am bored." Who knows this?
"I am angry, sad, afraid." Who knows this?
You are the knowing. Not the condition that is known.

AWAKEN DOING
...Awaken doing is the alignment of your outer purpose - what you do - with your inner purpose - awakening and staying awake. Through awakened doing, you become one with the outgoing purpose of the universe. Consciousness flows through you into this world. It flows into your thoughts and inspires them. It flows into what you do and guides and empowers it. .....(p294 A New Earth)
You can not find yourself in the past or future. The only place
where you can find yourself is in the NOW.
過去や未来に自己を見つけることはできない。自己を見つけることができ
る唯一の場所は「今」
Spiritual seekers look for self-realization or enlightenment in
the future. To be a seeker implies that you need the future. If
this is what you believe, it becomes true for you. You will need
time until you realize that you don't need time to be who you
are.
