Thinking, Feeling, Doing: How the mind records experience.

What we think we know (beliefs) and who we think we are (identity) are stored networks of thoughts, feelings & actions carried forward from past experience. So who I am in the present moment is the experiencing of arising thoughts, feelings and actions, both those happening now and stored ones that are being re-experienced.

As we reactivate stored patterns of thinking-feeling-acting (unconscious material) and re-experience them with an attitude of present moment, nonjudgmental awareness we update our minds and bodies.  With practice, this growing center of awareness gradually incorporates and transforms all past experience, bringing us into a full, timeless, state of being and becoming,  ever more willing to encounter the unfamiliar and unknown.
