“We cannot change what we are not aware of, and once we are aware, we cannot help but change.”
- our feelings do not come from external events, but from our own thinking about the events. Ask ‘who would you be without the thought that you hated X?’
- we think, because the minds jobs it to alert us of potential dangers in our environment that may threaten our lives.
- difference between Thoughts (things that pop into our head).
‘Thinking’ is the act of thinking about our thoughts (takes significant energy, effort, willpower)
- it’s not WHAT we’re thinking about that is causing us suffering, but THAT we are thinking.
- Human experience comprises 1) Universal mind, the electricity, the energy in all things. 2) Universal consciousness, the TV, what allows us to be aware that we exist + aware of thoughts. 3) Unverisal thought, the DVD, the raw material from which we can create from.
- Allow thoughts to come+flow through us, whilst we minimise thinking about the thoughts that emerge. Takes almost no effort. We are only ever 1 moment away from remembering that we always have that infinite well of clarity, love, joy, peace + fulfillment.
- Anxiety is thought without control. Flow is control without thought.
- I think, therefore i suffer. Goals are created out of inspiration (flow state) ot
