"When you're sitting in a movie theatre, and you're watching the screen, you're very involved in the drama. It's manipulating your emotions, the way you feel, the way you think. It's that lizard brain and the lemur brain, you're totally caught in the drama. And then you turn around and you look at the projector, and you realise that it's just flickering shadows and light, continually changing, and suddenly you've stepped out of the drama, and you realise you're free, you've stepped out of the drama. That's how mindfulness works. What a gift that is, to be able to ignore yourself." - Wes Nisker.
