Center yourself in your Self

All mind-activities and life-situations are distractions from your Self. Peace, joy, bliss and happiness only come from Self-realization, which means that anything of the world will only make your life-situation difficult. It is when you find your Life that the life-situation is no longer a constant worry or burden.

Our minds have created every aspect of our life-situation, including our body. This doesn't mean, however, that there is only mind. There is only God, and everything else is illusory. Your Self is the Son of God, "high above" everything of the world. It dwells in core of your being, the innermost existence, and the only true reality. You cannot find this by using the mind, but by staying in the present moment, you will eventually find your Self and have the true thoughts of God.

Throughout our day, we seem to constantly have problems, like being stressed, nervous, worried, afraid, hurt, angry, etc. The first step towards finding the Self is to be aware of these problems. If you do not become aware, you will always live unconsciously, identifying with the ego. You need to stop acting as the thinker and be the Observer. The Observer is beyond all problems, and sees the life-situation in the same way as we watch a movie. The unconsciousness, or the ego, is identified with when people forget that they are sitting in the audience and start identifying with the character on the screen and their life-situation. This is how we have forgotten God and our Self.

Becoming the Observer is to find your Self, our utmost responsibility. When you realize that your thoughts were left unwatched while they made problems, you become the Observer. However, if you are disturbed by a certain thought or action, don't start become upset about it! If you do, it'll become a vicious cycle, where you get upset about an upset, causing you to be more upset. It would never end! Just rejoice when you become aware, as that will eventually lead to Self-realization.
