“I'm simply saying that there is a way to be sane. I'm saying that you can get rid of all this insanity created by the past in you. Just by being a simple witness of your thought processes.
It is simply sitting silently, witnessing the thoughts, passing before you. Just witnessing, not interfering not even judging, because the moment you judge you have lost the pure witness. The moment you say “this is good, this is bad,” you have already jumped onto the thought process.
It takes a little time to create a gap between the witness and the mind. Once the gap is there, you are in for a great surprise, that you are not the mind, that you are the witness, a watcher.
And this process of watching is the very alchemy of real religion. Because as you become more and more deeply rooted in witnessing, thoughts start disappearing. You are, but the mind is utterly empty.
That’s the moment of enlightenment. That is the moment that you become for the first time an unconditioned, sane, really free human being.”

I heard a great quote today that really hit this home for me:
We think we are a body with a spirit inside, but really we are a spirit with and body ( and universe ) inside.

I can definitely relate to that. Those moments when you've been holding, waiting to go to the bathroom then finally you get to go. Its such a relief.

Truth/ God is all. He’s already here, as everyone, everything, everywhere, we just need to be open to his line of communication and accept his presence. Without him, the game, universe we live in would shut down, we were created out of his love. Accepting his presence is key, for through it we realize that we are in fact nothing and that ego is an illusion. Speaking the truth, not even a white lie is the first lesson, and we be good souls, that’s what we’re meant to be.

Letting go is incredibly freeing. Makes room for more..
And more...
Infinite bathroom release....
Your answer fits well,
Before enlightenment, Chop wood carry water, after enlightenment, chop wood carry water..hehe

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.
