We tend to think that our feelings are separate from ourselves when we mentally observe them as an outside observer, such as with negative feelings, we either dwell on them or try to chase them away, considering these thoughts as an enemy force. Billions of dollars are spent each year in prescription drugs to presumably alleviate these thoughts and feelings. Yet in reality, our feelings are us. We are both the observer of our mind and the visitor inside, who feels and thinks. When we are able to recognize that we are one with our thoughts and feelings we can find our original Buddha nature and inner peace.
