Self-imageNov 27, 20242671ShareMasks, 2024You ask what does awake and free mean to me? Simple. I never forget, and could not forget even if I tried, that whatever self-image may be in the forefront at the moment is a kind of fiction, a story I tell myself—no matter what self-image.Thanks for reading The Ten Thousand Things.

Hey Robert - absolutely...our many faces ARE stories that we tell ourselves, and as with everything else we experience, shift with each new moment.
I can, in a "good" moment, see this clearly - and the perspective significantly influences how that moment is experienced...
But the perspective shifts too, and I still get "caught". This too is just what it is, and as such - it's okay.
I wish you well bro.
This is great. Tap into how the mind is constantly creating, reaching out for stories. Also just sit, with no stories at all, feel the peace in it.
