The mind is the process through which expression comes…
““The mind is the process through which expression comes. The thought "I am" is the expression of being conscious. It is the bridge from the relative to the Absolute. It is the aperture through which the Absolute perceives its expressions. But you are neither the field nor its contents. You are That Light by which light is perceived. You are That which provides the blank canvas onto which the paint is applied. You provide the space which supports all objects while itself being ignored. You are the seeing, the hearing, the perceiving, the knowing, and the doing of all that is seen, heard, perceived, known and done. Like the wind, That that you are is known only by its effects.””
