AN OCEAN ANALOGY
Read this analogy slowly and let the image sink in—not to dwell on it, but to see how it impacts your consciousness.
Imagine your mind is like the ocean. On the surface of the ocean are choppy waves and turbulence. This is the drama we get caught in: thoughts, fears, emotions, and stories. Now, an ocean may have a choppy surface, but imagine sinking below the surface into the infinite depth below. Deep in an ocean is a boundless stillness that is completely undisturbed by the turbulence above. Can you connect with this deep tranquility?
