The mind is closed and rigid, fixated on its desires; it manipulates all perceptions to fit into the paradigm it has created. Awareness, on the other hand, is open and fluid and offers a path to what is real. Awareness opened my eyes as a baseball player, enabling me to connect on the field, and now it was opening my eyes as a man, enabling me to connect to the world, to finally quit trying and to begin living. Pure awareness is wiser than the mind.
