“Mental health lies within the consciousness of all human beings, but it is shrouded and held prisoner by our own erroneous thoughts.”

– Syd Banks

In every moment, we’re either looking FROM our thoughts or looking AT our thoughts.

When we’re looking from our thoughts, reality takes the shape and form of whatever thought we’re looking from. When we’re looking at Thought, not in the sense of looking at WHAT we’re thinking as much as seeing THAT we’re thinking, our mind naturally returns to its innate wisdom, clarity, creativity and peace.

In the moments we’re really caught up with our thinking, it really looks like we are seeing the world, people and circumstances the way they are. But if we look a little deeper, we find that we’re only seeing our thoughts ABOUT the world, people and circumstances.

Depending on what we are painting with the mystical paintbrush of Thought is what we experience in the moment. Moment to moment, we are feeling our thinking and only our thinking.

When we aren’t aware that we are only feeling our thinking in every moment, it really seems like it’s the circumstance, people, or thing that’s causing how we feel.

We become victims of a world that is happening to us, which then leads us to the faulty conclusion that if we change the outer circumstance, person or thing, we’ll feel better on the inside.

It just doesn’t work this way.

When we look within, when we examine our direct experience, we find that there is no actual link between our feelings and circumstances, people and things. The only link our feelings have are to Thought in the moment.

Thought is the missing link.

As Thought changes, our felt experience changes. This can make it seem like we’re on a rollercoaster of thought-feelings. When we’re constantly looking FROM thoughts, it feels that way.

But the moment we slow down and step back…the moment we drop our preoccupation with WHAT we’re thinking and start noticing THAT we’re thinking… is the moment we snap out of our thought-created dream and return to the innate wellbeing, clarity and peace of now.

And we realize what the mystics, sages and wise-ones have always been saying: Life is perfect, nothing is missing and all is well.
