I am the watcher of my own self - I sit and observe in silence - I hear the criticisms and judgements of my mind and only observe - they are automatic - my control comes in on whether I choose to own them - or let them pass.

My thoughts come in like the beating wings of a fly and pester me the same - I can let them go by - It is only thought - thinking has no reality unless I act upon the flies in my head or I can choose to shoo them away. I am the master over my thinking.
