Wake Up in the Middle of Your Movie

We exist in timelessness and formlessness. We have the power to take on thought and in doing so, life will take on whatever form is provided by that thought. The thought could present a pleasant experience or an unpleasant one and if we take the thought seriously, we’ll have whatever kind of experience is contained in it. But it is just a shadow play. For as soon as the thought passes, the form changes as well to some new form. We’re like patrons in a movie theater who have taken their seats and engaged with the movie. The scenes on the screen change, but we remain the same watcher — outside of time, outside of form. The important thing to see is that we, who dwell in timelessness, remain whole and undamaged regardless of what kind of transient experiences we have in life. If we think we’re damaged, it is only because of the though onto which we are holding. Memories, scenes, which are no longer on our minds have no effect. As we learn to disengage with thoughts in a manner similar to the way we disengage from a movie, we leave our sense of time behind, experience the warmth, wholeness and stillness within and wake up to a new life.
