Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 The awareness of thinking is not needed. Thinking is a spontaneous process just like the beating of your heart or the processing of air in your lungs are spontaneous processes. There is no need for a " you " having any control over these processes. In fact, the idea that there is a separate " someone " having any control whatsoever is a total illusion. In the same way, the process of thinking does not need any " you " in order to operate. There is something in you making an " effort " to think, to solve problems, to handle the " future " . This is the ego, an idea of being a separate doer. The ego is the awareness of - and identification with - the intellect. The intellect is nothing " you " do. The intellect is a happening of Totality in the same way the beating of your heart is a functioning of Totality. Grow up from this childish identification with a mechanical process! /AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
