The Passenger is not detached

The moment you‘re in a place where you‘re watching the movie, this is not detachment. Don‘t be confused. This is not about backing away from your life. It‘s not about stepping outside of it. It is about being an enthralled audience, because that's what we're here for, to be totally absorbed as an audience, because then you see. You watch the way in which your mind does its thing, the way the conditioning works, the way life works. Awareness becomes natural, because there's no agenda.

The moment your mind has to make a decision for you is the moment you have an agenda. You've got a reason. You're making things up. You're going to get stuck with all that stuff. And in the end it comes back and it bites you. Every time the mind is in control of your life is when you are no longer a passenger. You‘re just caught up in the mess.
