“True self is non-self, the awareness that the self is made only of non-self elements. There's no separation between self and other, and everything is interconnected. Once you are aware of that you are no longer caught in the idea that you are a separate entity.” LifeInspirationalMadeIdeasSelfChangeAwarenessElementsCaughtSeparationEntityTrue SelfInterconnected Author:Nhat Hanh
“Awareness is not the same as thought. It lies beyond thinking, although it makes no use of thinking, honoring it's value and it's power. Awareness is more like a vessel which can hold and contain our thinking, helping us to see and know our thought as thought rather than getting caught up in them as reality.” ThinkingKnowsWarHelpingUseWisdomRealityAgeLyingValuesKnowledgePowerAwarenessMilitaryGloryCaughtOur ThoughtsCaught UpVesselMonarchy Author:Jon Kabat-Zinn
“We have the ability to be the ocean. And access all that infinite possibility, understanding, knowledge, awareness. Or we can get caught up in identifying ourselves as being the droplet, which cannot disconnect us literally from the ocean but does disconnect us from the awareness of the ocean, which means that we isolate our point of observation to that of the droplet. That’s when we identify with being the image in the mirror.” MeanDoeUnderstandingAbilityAwarenessPossibilityOceanInfiniteMirrorsCaughtAccessObservationCaught UpIdentifyingInfinite PossibilitiesDropletsUnderstanding Knowledge Author:David Icke
“With growing awareness, you can see where you're caught or where you suffer or where you create suffering. You can then turn toward the difficulties that arise in your life with compassion, bow, and say, these too are part of human incarnation.” HumansSufferingTurnsCompassionGrowingAwarenessDifficultyCaughtAriseBowsIncarnation Author:Jack Kornfield
“We're normally caught up in the current of our thinking, feelings and emotions. With awareness, we can observe it all without being swept away. This gives us access to something much vaster and deeper than our usual compressed minds. All of us can access this. It's not so difficult. With some instruction and practice, anybody can do it.” ThinkingGivingMindFeelingsDifficultCan DoEmotionPracticeAwarenessCaughtCurrentsDeeperAccessUsualInstructionCaught UpFeelings And EmotionsSwept Away Author:Tenzin Palmo
