“When you recognize that there is a voice in your head that pretends to be you and never stops speaking, you are awakening out of your unconscious identification with the stream of thinking. When you notice that voice, you realize that who you are is not the voice – the thinker – but the one who is aware of it.” — Tolle

Of course it’s by my dude Tolle. I’m sure you all could have guessed that.

Just loving this quote today. Full on loving. Probably because a large part of me spends the day as The Thinker, and it is helpful to re-identify that that is not me, or who any of us are.

Next time you become aware of your Thinker, kick it to the curb. We’re so much better and aware than that.
