Thoughts come and go continously. We are not their creators. A famous psychologist called these phenomena "the stream of consciousness". So, we are not the thoughts. We are the observers of the thoughts. To realize these as a living experience is Jnana Yoga. But, if we do not create thoughts, how do they then appear? Thoughts are the result of the rendevouze between or conscious ego and the subconscious, the unknown. The subconscious, the unknown, constantly bombards us, confuse our conscious view and produce thoughts? How do we become the detached observer then? By resting in the intermediate pauses BETWEEN the thoughts. These emptiness between the thoughts is allways the same. Even though the thoughts differs. These Silent point which is everywhere and allways.... is what I personally refer to as Jnana Yoga. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thoughts are not thoughts, they will not trouble you. If words are not words, they will not haunt you. If now is never, there cannot be thoughts or words. Love commands us now:In every thought, feel the absence of thought. In every word, feel wordlessness. In every moment, feel timelessness.Beyond thought, word and moment . . .. Beyond Nothingness . . .Fathomless Mystery, Fathomless Mystery, Fathomless Mystery . . .
