It’s insane

We have huge potential to do amazing things and yet we waste that potential trapping ourselves in our mind, where we simply re-live the past or act out the future, mapped against a self-image that the mind has created and will protect at all costs from being ‘destroyed’.

If we stop an analyse what our mind is doing sub-consciously on a minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, in fact, a lifetime basis, we’d realise the insanity of it all.

We are all insane to inflict emotional pain, and the resulting physical pain, upon ourselves almost continuously throughout our lives. If we are conscious, no one would do it to themselves. Why would we inflict any pain emotional or physical on ourselves?

It’s madness.

What if we just did in the now, be in the now, and stopped the analysis? What if we just consciously lived our lives moment by moment?

What could we achieve? How much better would we feel? Could we live free, without problems that we continually imagine in our minds?

Imagine a world free from this insanity.

We are not our thoughts

If we allow it to happen, we spend the vast majority of our physical existence creating endless thoughts about what we think is us derived from the past and our imagination of the future and then acting on those thoughts and seeing ourselves as those thoughts.

Our mind is a part of us and the thoughts that the mind creates are a part of us, but they are not us. We can choose to simply observe them without judging.

Once the mind controls rather than us controlling it, we then become our thoughts.

We are not our thoughts if we choose to be conscious.
