The ego thinking that its concept of 'love' is of any value whatsoever.....is

a much more

common error....almost as common as the belief that it can think its way into

heaven.

A few shops of bliss...and the ego is merely fueled...(fooled).

 

 

 

 

 

There is no place for man to rest his weary head.

Not if the problem is in thought. Then it doesn´t include our entire

experience: when the thought is gone the problem is gone, but life

goes on.

Yes, only thinking makes it problematic. Thinking is responsible for

al problematic emotions.

Thoughts which are creating problems, like thinking that something

or someone should be different, can be recognized as absurd and

vanish. The rest of thoughts will stay and do their job.

I look at everything which is in some way perceivable, including

thoughts.

I haven´t give up noticing anything. It really doesn´t take a

thought to perceive a thought. Thought itself cannot perceive, it´s

an image producing process, which you can see very well when you

observe it.

You mean to say there's no thought associated with these events? How is it

that you know they occur?

Nope.

 

A swing.....and a miss.

 

Thinking that you are 'looking at thought' is merely another separate thought.

Not if the problem is in thought. Then it doesn´t include our entire

experience: when the thought is gone the problem is gone, but life

goes on.

 

Len

 

 

 

Is it possible that " thought " covers a lot more territory than you presently

allow? I would agree that thinking is the problem, but thought itself is

part of the process of perception. Without thought, there is no sensory

analysis

or stored memories of the event. As such, there can be no experience. Does a

brain dead person experience?

Yes, only thinking makes it problematic. Thinking is responsible for

al problematic emotions.

Thoughts which are creating problems, like thinking that something

or someone should be different, can be recognized as absurd and

vanish. The rest of thoughts will stay and do their job.

 

Len

 

 

 

Okay, now maybe we're getting somewhere. Now there are absurd thoughts and

there are okay thoughts that do their job. I agree, but a thinking process is

required in order to distinguish between the two, and every ego will come to

their own conclusion as to where to draw the line. One ego will notice that a

misspelled word is not of any significance and another ego will think it

reasonable or helpful to call the person an idiot.

 

So, isn't the idea of selecting what to think and what not to think part of

the process of perception itself, and therefore subjective, not definable or

controllable or fundamentally meaningful?

I look at everything which is in some way perceivable, including

thoughts.

 

Len

 

 

 

Yes, and it all requires thoughts, and so as Larry suggested, you do things

pretty much the same way everybody else does. My suspicion is that you spend

a lot of time observing your thoughts, which is not a new technique to anyone

here, I would guess. Notice that, in order for you to perceive your

thoughts, you first need to have the thought that you are going to do that,

then you

have to lose track of that thought, then allow another thought to arise, then

remember that you wanted to monitor your thoughts, and then notice the

thought that just occurred, which requires searching your memory from a

fraction

of a second ago, because you can't think one thought and watch it at the same

time.

 

The point is that there's a tremendous amount of mental processing going on

all the time and only a small fraction of it ever becomes conscious.

I haven´t give up noticing anything. It really doesn´t take a

thought to perceive a thought. Thought itself cannot perceive, it´s

an image producing process, which you can see very well when you

observe it.

 

Len

 

 

 

It does take a thought to perceive a thought. Look very closely and see.

Yes, thought works with images. Thought creates the images. Where else would

they come from?

He said: " It really doesn´t take a thought to perceive a thought. Thought

itself cannot perceive,. " Reading skills problem?

 

Larry Epston

 

 

 

 

What he's implying is that there is a thought and then there is a perceiver

of a thought, which is to say something separate from the thought.

Comprehension skills problem?

Perhaps you could clarify what a thought actually is....and who has it.

 

That may simplify this discussion.
