			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The world is collapsing&#8230; imploding. Our greed has us pinned against the wall.</p>
<ul>
<li>Economic collapse</li>
<li>Environmental collapse</li>
<li>Moral collapse</li>
</ul>
<p>Greed driven by mental chatter. Suffering.<br />
We create our disease and try to cure it with more of the same disease.<br />
Seeking things is driven by our internal mental chatter.</p>
<p>Mindfulness is our only cure. The cure is already in all of us.<br />
Seeking. Seeking. Seeking nothing, but finding pain.</p>
<p>Can you feel it within you?<br />
Its there. Waiting for you to see it.</p>
<p>The end of suffering.</p>
<p>Just listen. Listen to your chatter.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s another you in you. Not really YOU, but what you see as you.<br />
You aren&#8217;t you really. You are we.</p>
<p>The chatter is constant. Stop and listen to your thoughts.</p>
<p>Just listen.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t judge. listen.</p>
<p>Its liberating to find out what you thought was you&#8230; isn&#8217;t.<br />
The identity you hold too is a sheet of glass. See through it.</p>
<p>The moment you see it is the moment everything starts to get better.</p>
<p>Starts&#8230; No instant cure.</p>
<p>That babbling bum in the street is no different from you. His chatter is just audible, more anti-social.</p>
<p>As I write this my chatter says &#8220;publish a book&#8221;, &#8220;be respected and well regarded by others&#8221;.<br />
It makes me chuckle.<br />
Our chatter wants us to be liked or hated. It wants us to be an object. Recognized as ME.</p>
<p>Can you see it now? Listen.<br />
For 30 seconds see and hear your thoughts&#8230;</p>
<p>Watch them parade in front of you. It&#8217;s amazing when you see it.</p>
<p>Right now they own you. but they need not. It need not.</p>
<p>Just listen. For now.</p>
<p>Just see.</p>
