"When you learn
to witness thoughts
and stop the action
of identifying with them,
there comes a point
where the individual 'you'
with a memory, personality and a body
temporarily disappears.
It feels freeing
but at the same time
quite strange.
Although there is this incredibly
blissful flow of energy,
there is nothing to hold onto
nothing to define yourself by,
there is just witnessing without form.
The tendency is to always
jump back into identification
with your thinking
where everything is familiar
and known.
Even if you are unhappy,
you are familiar with it,
it feels like home.
So it is a huge jump
to move into witness consciousness
and requires your complete focus,
to give every thought away as it arises.
But once you make the jump,
and you are without form,
let your focus rest
on the flow of energy,
let yourself rest in the bliss that is there.
This will help you remain
in this state for longer periods of time.
Even a few seconds in this state
is incredibly transforming.
It is not that you are
jumping out of yourself
and into something completely different,
but simply you are letting go
of the limited perception you are used to
and experiencing what is always there
behind it.
You can have all the drama of your life
back in an instant if you want it,
but you have to have the courage
to let go and venture beyond
what is comfortable and known
if you want to experience the bliss
that is your true nature.
Blessings,
Kip"
