Awareness Is Not The Same As Thought. It Lies Beyond Thinking, Although It Makes No Use Of Thinking, Honoring It's Value And It's Power. Awareness Is More Like A Vessel Which Can Hold And Contain Our Thinking, Helping Us To See And Know Our Thought As Thought Rather Than Getting Caught Up In Them As Reality.
