Become the thought or watch it

the minute you have a judging thought, you have a choice: do I become the judging thought Right, so what's happening is the key to all of this is we want space between our consciousness or where we're looking from and whatever we're looking at. So, the minute you have a judging thought, you have a choice: do I become the judging thought or do I stay in my grounded spot and look at the judging thought? Right now, most likely you're not aware of that choice because it happens so quick that you just collapse on the judging thought.

But the more that you practice and the more that you recognize that it's possible, the more that there will be space between you and the thought. Once there's space, then you get to make a choice: do I collapse my awareness around the thought or do I stay where I am? Right?
