You are not what you think

Concepts arise in the mind.  The deepest part of being knows none of them can stick.  No belief or attitude lasts forever.  No attachment or detachment results in what you seek. Clarity and awareness know all effort is futile.  They exist regardless of what you think or do. To think the present comes from the past is merely a hallucination.  A memory is always an echo of now.  Nothing is happening to you but rather through the energy you perceive as you.  The dream layers peel themselves back and blow away in the wind.  What remains of the dream remains to be seen as it is.  Be the dream.

"But the self-controlled man, moving among objects, with his senses under restraint, and free from both attraction and repulsion, attains peace." -Swami Chinmayananda
