Thoughts and emotions can be very forceful in telling me what to do. When I am just aware, I still can resist whatever the thought or emotion is telling me to do. Even stronger, when being only aware (conscious) of something, I am still free and not forced to do what the thought is telling me. Theh problem arises when I am not aware. I think I AM the thought and therefor I make the choice or the behavior that the tought was telling me to do. &lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
