Rapid Thoughts
There are so many thoughts going on in his head. He can't get a break. It wasn't until he took a meditation course until he realized this. Like many of us, he would get so absorbed by his thoughts. His thoughts have a life of their own. His thoughts just sweep him away without even knowing it like a gust of wind.
Then one moment during his class he had the realization that he is not his thoughts, but the awareness behind them. It was so nice to sometimes take a step back and notice them. To be witness consciousness.
Next time you have a million thoughts on your mind remind yourself that they are not you. They will pass and they don't define what will happen in the future. They are just thoughts and they are not real. Don't take them so seriously, just let them float by without hanging on to them.
