---

The mind which is aware is a distinct and separate thing from the things which appear in the field of awareness. That mind is the true self, but those things--which we know only as thoughts--are not. The emotions and thoughts that we commonly experience are outside the ring of the real "I," yet are always taken--or rather mistaken--for it.
