Stop scrolling for the next 90 seconds.

Just close your eyes and listen to your surroundings.

Notice how the sounds come and go. You are not in control of what consciousness receives. You cannot prevent your ear drum from picking up the sound. You cannot extend the sound for longer than it occurs. It just comes and goes.

You cannot *stop* listening, but you are not *doing* listening, either.

You are simply the condition in which all of these sounds appear.

The same is true for your thoughts and emotions.
