You Are the Blue Sky: Understanding who you are beyond your thinking

We don’t have to work hard for happiness. We are made of it.

The reason this spiritual truth is elusive is because of one very important gift that we possess: the gift of thought. It turns out that instead of feeling the beauty of our true nature, most of the time we are feeling our thinking about our personal lives.

And let’s face it, most of our thinking about ourselves feels anything but peaceful, content, or ease-filled. Rather, it’s kind of like walking around wearing an itchy sweater all day and thinking that that’s the way our body naturally feels. When we finally take off the irritating sweater, our naked skin feels magnificent. It is who we really are underneath.

Similarly, when we finally set down our agitated thinking, we reconnect with our true self.
