You see the power of now by becoming aware of both the emotional pain-body and of the silent watcher inside of you. How?...by enlisting your own conscious presence!...As you maintain your attention on the pain-body and the thoughts engendered, this pain becomes fuel for the flame of consciousness, thus changing suffering into consciousness. This is a wonderful transformational tool. Always remember, if you identify with the pain, there is no freedom. Some are so attached to this trapped pain, trapped in inner space, that it takes great vigilence to actually become detached from it...look at this pain as a gift...this sounds maybe strange to some, but it's what we have to work with here in Earth School...being conscious of it is our only hope in overcoming this victim identity...know that the past has no strength against the power of now and that you and you alone are responsible for your own inner space...and the thing is, just watching, as the watcher, is enough...you can't really succeed if you fight the pain-body...just accept it as it is at this moment...in this way you are able to confront it and are now able to dissolve it through transmutation....when exposed to the Light, things (forms), become Light...this is freedom...it all comes down to Being Reality ourselves...it is a mystery just why we seek to gain Reality, when that is who we really are!
