Introduction

Where are thoughts coming from? And where do they go? Most of us spend most of our lives feeling like we are the thinker of our thoughts. See if you can notice the next thought that arises as it arises. At the beginning of the pandemic, we started using Sam Harris' waking up meditation app each morning. It has been nothing short of transformative for us. I feel more aware of what my mind and myself is. More able to recognize that everything I experience, regardless of where it originates in the external world, is a mental event. My own mind is all I have. And that it is precious.
