Otelia: My standard response to "What do you think?" is normally: "As little as possible, it hurts less that way!" (Cute, but not particularly true in practice).
But more seriously, the proof of the pudding, I suppose, as to where the proponderance of my faith lies, is which of the following I "pay the most attention to: "Being Consciously Aware Here and Now as I Am" or the "story of me that plays endlessly in the theater of my mind?"
Yes, Angela, but that which "comes must eventually go." As such, anything "thought into being" must, at some point in time, "cease to be" (including "me, myself and I" as "I think I am).
So the idea is to identify the "One Thing" in "me" that never changes and simply "Be That Now." Not that I Am not already That, because I Am (and can never not Be); but, rather, that "self-preoccupation with and fixation upon" relative thinking and the objects of thought keep me from realizing That, here and now.
