To be yourself you just have to stop the thinking process.

Always remember it is your thoughts that keep you from yourself. Every thought that comes to you is your enemy. Even the good thoughts, for the good thoughts are just leading you on. It is your mind playing tricks on you. The good thoughts are trying to make you feel that this world is real, and you should strive after certain things, you should enjoy the world, and take it for what it's worth. But then you have to c...ome under the law of change, and you become disillusioned because the things in your life are no longer the same, after a while.

Then you have to jump back into yourself and take refuge in your Self. When you take refuge in your Self you become happy. When you take refuge in your Self you have peace. When you take refuge in your Self you have harmony, you have joy. It's a mystery to me why people would take refuge in the outside world, in person, place or thing, when you know the outside world is subject to the law of change, and is never the same continuously. So whatever you take refuge in becomes a disappointment, whether it's a person, place or thing.
