“What you’re looking at is never as important as what’s looking through you.”
There is something that never changes. It’s not your name. Not your body. Not even your thoughts.
It is the watcher. The presence. The light behind your eyes.
It has witnessed every version of you. Every rise, fall, triumph, and breakdown. And it has never judged you.
That awareness? That’s you.
Not the anxious thoughts. Not the roles you play. But the field that holds them all.
You do not have to earn this light. You *are* this light. And when you live from that place, peace returns naturally.
Gaze softly into a mirror — not with judgment, but curiosity. Look not at the face, but into the eyes. Ask: 'Who is looking?'
At least once today, pause and say silently: 'I am the awareness behind it all.' Then notice how everything shifts.

The truest you cannot be seen — only felt.
