Most people’s reality is as soon as something is perceived, it is named, interpreted, compared, liked, good, disliked or bad. You do not awaken spiritually until this compulsive and unconscious naming eases, or at least you become aware of it and thus are able to observe it as it happens. It is this constant naming that the ego remains in place as the unobserved mind. Whenever it ceases and even when you just become aware of it, there is inner space, and you are not possessed by the mind anymore. When consciousness is no longer totally observed by thinking, some of it remains in its formless, unconditioned, original state, that is inner space.
