+Awareness of the thought process at the moment of an impulse arising is what
+makes freedom from thought possible, because when the mind is only at the
+stage of an impulse arising, the energies haven’t fully engaged.  There is
+an almost impartial quality about the energy of the impulse.  When it is
+driven into specific thought, the situation changes and it becomes “my
+thought with my feeling, therefore me.” This is what is meant by being
+caught in the thought.  The inner energy has transmuted from being something
+relatively neutral and therefore not very important or compelling into
+something entirely personal and therefore extremely important and compelling.
