Beyond Thinking

If you’re stuck in a thinking based existence, you’re being held captive by a thinking based world. This is a prison you will only be released from by going beyond your thinking into the space of silence…

You cannot have a problem in your life that isn’t created by your own thinking. This doesn’t mean things that occur are always beneficial, but regardless of what happens it’s your thinking that makes something a problem; it comes from within yourself. Lots of things happen throughout the day and each time there’s a choice to make it a problem or not. Everyone has this choice, it just takes a certain amount of discipline for this to be seen. What discipline does is it slows down the thinking process that runs continuously. This slowing down is the beginning of truth arising; without the slowing the necessary silence that allows this will not happen.

If thinking is the base of your existence noise will be the base of your decisions. This will not allow you to watch the nonsense of the Conditioned Mind, and if this nonsense isn’t seen, the mind will never slow down and there won’t be any silence space created. When life is thinking based (unconsciousness) it’s as though life is a struggle. When the thinking slows down, you can see how it’s the Conditioned Mind that takes everything that happens and makes it either problematic or pleasurable. This revelation will assist in breaking free of the hold your thinking has over you and you’ll be able to see that you’re not the thinking, you’re beyond the it (consciousness). This doesn’t mean unpleasant things won’t happen, on the contrary life will still happen, you just won’t think yourself into making a problem. When this occurs and you have no created problems with life the next step in the process of going beyond a thinking existence into the space of silence will be realized…
