As long as you’re alive you will think, actually thinking occurs even if you aren’t alive it’s just not you doing it. So thinking isn’t really about what happens as much as it’s about how much one relates their thinking to what happens. This is where one’s conditioning steps in and determines the relation to what thoughts come next. Thinking can be based in love, or it can based in hate, but for most it teeters between the two. Very few go to the extreme of either one of these in their thinking, so the results for most are just constantly switching between the two. When one’s thinking does hit an extreme level, the results are contingent on how much one is conditioned to constantly think; this thinking is what manifest as the emotions that take you for a ride. If you have love as the main influence in your life, obviously you will think of love more than a person who had hate as their influence. This all arises from the individual so if you truly notice the base of your thinking, you may be able to alter your actions. Besides relying on divine intervention which will probably not occur, it will take practice to allow the mind to settle so the base of one’s thinking is noticed.
The true addictions in our society is to thinking and when I is the main subject, it makes one’s existence very irrational. Now multiply that by billions of people and hence you have the world we live in; billions of people constantly thinking about I strictly for their own personal gain. There’s no one to blame for this, it just arises from the thinking within each of us. From the serial killer to the person who does volunteer work, it’s the thinking mind that causes extreme emotional twist and everything else in between. So sit often with the intention of developing the ability to notice how much your thinking is stuck on I and you just may be able to settle in a place where the mind quiets and hopefully you’ll come to realize life isn’t really about I, you just think it is.
