One way to check yourself in each moment is to find out if you are conscious of the present. Are you pulled away? When you're here and present, that's a way of knowing you're in a neutral state. When you find yourself reflecting on things like, "What did I do? Why did that happen? Oh, how will this work out?" - that's a conditioned state. Neutrality is being fully available and present to what is here to do, and responding directly, with no condition. Neutrality allows you to give fully, participate fully, and express fully.-John Morton, DSS
