obsessive thinking and a paradigm shift (taken from the Where to start Post)

[Guest guest]

Dear Awtar,

 

Your reply resonates with me immensely in helping me with an

additional tool for the " Monkey Mind " tool box--- you said,

 

> " About all the thoughts you engage in... How important do you think

> your thoughts are in the presence of the infinite? If there is a God

> and if God showed him/her/itself to you, would you still think your

> thoughts matter more, would you turn away so you can listen to your

> thoughts or would you keep quiet and listen to what God has to say?

> Approach life that way. Infinite wisdom speaks to us with each of our

> life's experiences. So you have to make a choice between your thoughts

> and your experience... it is up to you... "

 

This statement helps me in stopping the critiquing of " I am thinking

too much on this subject " and shifting to " surrendering " mode and

just being with the energy and not over identifying with the emotions

surrounding the thinking.

 

Thank you very much.

 

Marty
