Your brain is constantly engaged in the thinking process. Most of the time you are unaware of the incessant 'chatter' going on in your mind because you are accustomed to it and you have tuned it out. For now, try to turn your attention to your head. For the next minute or two, notice the thoughts coming and going in your head. When you observe carefully, you will notice that although the movement of thoughts seems swift, there are gaps or space. A space in which a thought comes to an end and a new thought hasn't yet appeared. A space in which you realize you have been caught up in thinking. This space or gap is not related to the thought process. You don't usually notice this space. But if you observe carefully, you will become aware that this space is one of silence. A brief space in which there is no thought - just a space of silence. This 'space of peace' may be the missing piece in your life. Not knowing that this space exists may be the root cause of all the problems in your life. Yet how does this space free us from the trap of fear, anger, stress and anxiety that our own mind has created for ourselves?

Your Intellect i.e. your mind is like the flame of a candle providing light in a dark room. Very limited. Whereas your intelligence is like the expansive bright sunlight. If your limited intellect, the candle light, envisions, itself to be supreme and powerful it may be mistaken. You only need to open the doors and windows and allow that sunlight to enter to realize the power of the candle light diminished. As long as the intellect considers itself to be supreme and powerful intelligence will stay away. You struggle. When the limited intellect surrenders and pave the way for the unlimited intelligence to operate in you, you thrive. Everything begins to happen for you in life. Freedom, creativity, beauty and joy prevails. How can we access that intelligence?
