This is meditation. Bear with me.

This is meditation. Bear with me. Can you hear the voice reading this? Try not to read this. I said stop reading! You can't, can you? You can't stop reading. Why not? Because your mind does it for you, and you are not your mind. Your mind produces thoughts. It's a tool that we have in our body to help us navigate the physical world, but we are something bigger than that. We are awareness. We are the thing that is aware of the mind. We are not our mind or our thoughts, and I can prove it right now. Predict your next thought. You can't, because you don't choose your thoughts. Your thoughts just arise from subconscious processes, and we hear them. We're not the voice in our head; we're the thing listening to it. And that's what meditation is. This is what the yogis realized. They realized that the reason we suffer is because all we do is listen to this voice and accept that it's us. But it's not us. We can choose to watch it, to listen to it, without believing we are it. And so when the mind says something good, we can be chill about it. And when the mind says something bad, we can be chill about it. That's how we find equanimity. That's how we find peace. And this is what meditation is. It's not about stopping your thoughts; it's about observing them without falling for the trap that we are them. Amazing.
