the soul...

Usually a beginner loses focus and by force of habit leaks his consciousness into thinking,

objectifying his sense of me in the mind.

However, whenever he returns, moment to moment,

to the center of awareness and gradually anchors attention in pure subjectivity,

the whole structure of his consciousness becomes centralized in being rather than thinking.

By giving our consciousness the supreme object of our presence,

we decondition it from pursuing external objects.

As we gradually learn how to live through pure consciousness, our mind surrenders to its host, the ground of I am — the soul.
