It’s not you who thinks, thinking simply happens

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


by Brian Thompson.

“A thought came to me…”

Umm, they all do. You don’t create any of them. Thoughts just spontaneously appear from nothingness. They are a product of the mind, its conditioning, and its present environment—but you are not the mind, and “you” had nothing to do with any thought’s appearance.

It’s not you who thinks. Thinking simply happens, and you are its witnessing presence.

So, be mindful of what you are attaching your self-identity onto. Quit claiming personal ownership and doer-ship of all such things that are merely appearances to you. After all, why hang onto something that isn’t actually yours? Whatever appears to you—whether it’s a thought, an emotion, a bodily sensation, or something that’s perceived within the world—simply let it pass, unhindered by mental grasping.

You cannot control that which isn’t yours, including all thoughts, emotions and sensations. Abide only in that which is real, which all appearances arise within—awareness itself. Be disentangled from all perceptions. They are not you.

And so, if you identify with the pure awareness of your formless presence, and not with any of the things of the mind or the world, the mind will become calm and quiescent. When the mind is no longer lost in the fruitless search for its own essence, it peacefully rests in the heart of its own awareness—its home.

In each and every moment, your only choice is to decide which thoughts are deserving of your time, attention, awareness, energy and emotions.

Your problem isn’t any of the problems you perceive. Your problem is that you personally identify with the objects of perception—including things of the mind. You believe these things that you observe somehow affect you, limit you, and control you—but, in truth, you limit yourself through your attachments, which are a choice.

Be conscious of consciousness. Abide in the sensing presence that is, I Am.

If you believe the thoughts that appear to you, you unknowingly project them onto your perceptions, and you then create false somethings out of nothing. It is these false somethings that you suffer from.
