A quote by Randall Friend

"What I am is just this shining presence, the open space in which all this "stuff" happens. I am never touched by any of it! I don't change, I can't think, I can't use words or make decisions, I can't feel or speak. I simply watch.

I have no body with which to feel, to move around. I have no mind to store memories, to accumulate time, to run off into the future seeking some goal.

I have no goals, I have no life, I have no self. All these appear in what I am!

I am simple, ordinary, everyday awareness."
