When you sit, without thinking about anything, what is your emotional state of being? How do you feel when you allow yourself to empty of thought, of story, of judgment about reality, and simply perceive it openly? Test it. Discover within yourself the natural ground of your beingness. Experience it as real. Then notice whenever your interior energy shifts away from that ground, and into some other emotional condition. What has happened to bring about the change? We may say that some event in the world has arisen to cause us to suddenly feel anger, or sorrow, or to suffer internally. But is that the truth? NOTICE that if your state of being shifts away from its natural peaceful and joyful ground of beingness, it has been led away by a THOUGHT ABOUT what should or should not be appearing in your field of awareness. When we believe in these thoughts we abandon the ground of being, the place of truth, to play in the win/lose fields of perception, and judgment, and duality. We can play in the win/win fields of life by simply refusing to believe the thoughts that arise to lead us away from the ground of truth.
