‘What you face’ or ‘what is happening’ is not under your control-this is simple to understand. Realisation happens when you notice that what you ‘feel’, ‘experience’ is also not under your control.

Words can only express what is being experienced.

Pick a pen. A whole set of physiological and neurological movements are involved. Now the thinking – I have picked the pen – is expression through words.Thinking arises to explain. This is the limit of thinking.The actual movements – physiological and neurological happen.Put your hand in cold water. There is feeling in the body and brain. Now thought can express this feeling, it is not this feeling.

When you can see that thought is only an expression of what is being experienced-you begin to see that thought is not the controller of impulses and movements in your body and brain. This suddenly transforms your whole experiencing structure. Now there is no escape from what is being experienced. Thought is not able to coin any relief, consolation as an escape from what is being experienced. You enter into a new dimension.

The implication of this is like this.

When the above fact is noticed, any expression like of sadness, confusion, stress, anger and so on – there is no one questioning the feeling of sadness, confusion and so on. Thought is unable to gloss over them. Energy remains concentrated.
