If we begin to awaken to who we really are, much that seemed important will fade away.
To begin the transition from unconsciousness to consciousness, you simply need to become aware of the mind or ego when it is active. As you identify the activities of the mind, you can begin to become present, to quieten the mind, and move from the condition where you are possessed by the mind, to a new state of being.
A place where the mind is at the disposal of you, the conscious observer.
We are not the sum total of our mind but we have a mind.

Where and how do you experience/have knowledge of/awareness of a 'conscious observer? In other words, without your mind how can the conscious observer exist?
