soap opera of *me*..

the cinema show is good entertainment for sure

it keeps the mind interested 

and absorbed in the drama

but one never feels it is about their life ..

they know within it is an act, not real 

it is a made up story about some characters that are 

playing a part ...

this is the way it is with the mind ..

it tells stories about a character called *me*

and that this character is doing this and that..

but it is not real -- it is made up by mind ...

like a movie ..

if one can look at this soap opera of *me* 

with objectivity like it is a repeating tape recorder ...

a drama that is not based on
anything truly taking place *now* 

or has any true power...

but is a transient energy .. empty in nature ...

like ripples on the water ...

moving out and dissolving again...

begin step back and *witness*

like watching a movie and observing 

observing...

(as well as engaging practices)...

then this mind can begin to be *seen*

for what it is...

which is *huge* step in the loosening of knots..
