Leave Troubling Thoughts and Feelings Where You Find Them

July 2, 2009 - 1:33pm 372 reads 1 comments

In our psychic carelessness, we unknowingly pick up and carry home with us self-compromising thoughts and feelings, so the solution we need and should seek, must be in a new kind of awareness.

Practice knowing without thinking. Begin today. Right now.

Let yourself see the meaning of individuals and their actions, of your behavior, of world events, of all your relationships – without telling yourself what you see. Again, let the meaning of what is before you reveal itself to you. Keep you out of it. If you don't, then self-compromising self-interest will come into and cloud the picture.

Bravely go through your day in this new way. Switch back and forth between your natural need for practical thought, as required in your business or home life, and this new state of seeing, of knowing without thinking. Be patient with yourself. For a while, you may feel as though you just have to pick up some thought or feeling, even though a part of you knows you shouldn't. Just learn to watch all of that too. And when you fail, try your best not to pick up self-judgmental thoughts.

Although some of this seems somewhat esoteric, what I believe you are saying is to acknowledge the meaning of events to ones self and they don't become part of your own energy. It doesn't attach.

That sounds like very helpful information.
