Dissolve your thoughts

Posted on by philipdodson

Everyone has untapped creativity in their amazing minds. Unfortunately, it remains that way for most of our life, simply because our minds are too busy with the endlessly repeating mindstreams that serve no purpose.

Yeah, the ones like ‘you’re a failure’, ‘see, no one likes me’, ‘I was the ugliest person there’, ‘I am sure I will get fired first’, ‘they’re laughing at me’, ‘I bet she earns more than me’, and so on. We repeat the same stuff, without purpose, without any change…on and on.

Imagine if we stopped that and the mindstreams were constructive, creative and with purpose.

It could be that way, we simply need to become conscious of all these repeating thoughts and simply choose to observe them, be the silent witness. Then all that space we create, all that energy that isn’t wasted on these destructive thoughts can be turned to do the most amazing things.

Think and you sabotage. Be awake, aware and conscious and your mind becomes the most powerful tool you could imagine. We can all unlock our potential simply by giving the sabotaging thought space to be without response and it dissolves to allow us to flourish.

Ego driven?

If you want to see if you are driven by your ego or not, wait until the next time someone criticises you, or someone cuts you up in traffic, or has a different opinion, or offers to do something for you that you are struggling with, or doesn’t reply to your message, or talks about their new car, pay rise, expensive holiday…see if there is a reaction inside you and then see if you actions reflect that reaction, look at what you say or do. See how your mind feels threatened and acts to protect.

When we look at the things we react to and think about it for a moment then we realise the insanity and triviality of it all. If we are disengaged from the mind and its ego, we do not become the reaction, we do not feel the need to boast ourselves to others or protect ourselves. We let these things go and accept what is, we do not feel there is any position to defend or any threat, as there isn’t.

The threat is just a construct of the mind and it is not a real physical danger, it is an imagined threat to our fake self-image.

The repeating mind patterns are there all the time, hidden in the endless noise of our minds and are so every day that we don’t even recognise them.

Just be the silent witness to it all and let go of the ego. See how life, relationships, everything changes. Worth a try, a chance to experience peace and calm. Nothing matters unless we choose to suffer.
