Something quiet can only be known by the mind because it's made by the mind. Therefore the quiet does not contain the mind but the mind contains the quiet. But how quiet is the quiet when it's a thought? That's up to your mind.

Free yourself from belief that you are your mind. The words 'your mind', or 'my mind' illustrate that the mind is not 'you', it is 'yours'.
You are not trapped in 'your mind'. However, it is assumed that you are so that is the experience.
Thought happens and you are the seer and knower of it. Mind happens in you. You are not in the mind, the mind is in you.
So....what are you?

The mind is noise. Noise has to appear within silence. Music is no good without the back ground of silence.

You are aware of the mind because that's the purpose of the mind. I am not saying that you are your mind but the mind is like a tool which you use in order to experience your reality.

So i am not my mind and my mind is a tool. I am the seer of my (the) mind? So instead of seeing through the mind i as a seer could bypass the mind and see reality directly. Or i could see that the mind is just a means of translating what is seen into words the mind can understand. The mind has a language, a culture, a conditioning factor. Where as plain seeing is true seeing.

You can see 'your' reality (which is obscured by mind, conditioning), so is 'your mind made' reality.
Or you can see and hear life that is fresh and raw and untainted by programming.

Then you must find out who or what the believer is?
Who is it that believes?
