Often we express that we must rest in Formless Awareness as much as possible. But challenges of life still occur.
In the midst of incessant thoughts, we must become aware of the mind that is aware of the thoughts.
Then become aware of the awareness within the mind too.
It is in this self-illumination of awareness, that stillness resides.
What follows is living in the world but within the stillness residing and operating.
Thoughts often betray us by taking our attention. But remember, whenever we become aware of this, this is that Formless Awareness whispering it's ever-present presence.
There is no form behind thought and no form behind the mind.
Therefore, rest in Formless Awareness and when thoughts strike again, be aware of Formless Awareness and be mindful of thought's operation.
