Addicted to Thinking

If there’s awareness of what you think about you may be able to settle in a place where your emotions aren’t in control. You may even realize life isn’t really about you, you just think it is…

As long as you’re alive life happens, actually life happens even if you’re not alive there just isn’t awareness of it. Life isn’t really about what happens as much as it’s about how much you relate your thinking about what happens. This is where the conditioning steps in and determines the relation to what happens next. It can be of love, it can be of hate, but for most it teeters between the two. Very few go to the extreme of either one of these emotions so the results for most humans are balanced. When these emotions do hit an extreme level the results are very noticeable and this is all contingent on how much you’re conditioned to think about yourself; this thinking are manifest as emotions. If you think love as the main thought in your life, obviously you will love more than a person who thinks hate thoughts. This all arises from inside the individual so if you truly notice the base of your thinking, you may be able to alter this thinking instead of relying on divine intervention which will probably not occur. It will take some practice to allow the mind to settle so this is noticed.

The addiction in society is attachment to thinking and when you’re the main subject of that thinking, it makes your existence very irrational. Now multiply this by billions of people and hence you have the world we live in; billions of people constantly thinking about themselves strictly for personal gain. There’s no one to blame for this because it arises from within each of us. From the mass murderer to the person who is a people pleaser, it’s their thinking that causes extreme emotions and everything else in between. So sit often with the intention of developing the ability to notice your thinking about yourself and you just may be able to settle in a place where your emotions aren’t in control. And hopefully you’ll come to the realization life isn’t really about you, you just think it is…
