Don’t be in front of the mind. Be behind the mind.
Then you can observe the mind—if you even care to.
As soon as it becomes clear to you that you are outside the bubble of the mind play,
you are immediately in a different atmosphere.
You are in the atmosphere of the Self and far too joyful to be bothered by as small a thing as the mind.*
~ Mooji
Its good to be in the company of Mooji, with his lightheartedness and joy for life. What a wonderful reminder to not take ourselves so seriously, especially the bubble of mind play.
Go burst a few thought bubbles today!

Wonderful post, Val. That old mind can cause havoc if we don’t step back once in a while and keep an eye on it – sort of like a toddler. 😀

Stepping into the role of detached observer is liberating!
From that perspective, we see wisdom in the adage ~> “Don’t believe everything you think!”
