Through the awesome and mysterious power of mind, we appear as the central character in the multidimensional drama called ‘my life’. And the mind-talk runs like an ongoing narration of a story, of where we have been and where we might be headed — maybe with some feelings of anxiety.
But looking deeper, in the moments when the mind fully stops, we can see (if we don’t go numb) that the past and future stops — and what remains is consciousness. Like in a movie theater; when the movie ends, the screen that the movie was projected on is seen — and it is unaffected by what-ever show gets projected on it.
Similarly, our real nature stands out when the mind stops, illuminating the reality of what is — boundless conscious life. And the light of this awakened awareness transforms our human life in beautiful ways. And from this perspective we can see the mind’s projections and illusions, like when Toto pulled back the curtain revealing the truth behind the ‘great and powerful Wizard of Oz’.
