...Thoughts arise within us due to our conditioning, which is a product of our past and upbringing, this is one thing we cannot change, but if we can SEE IT we can allow IT to dissolve away. Looking closer at our thoughts, looking closer at our sense of self, and what is revealed IS that for many our sense of self is but a thought chasing a thought. Thoughts come through us beyond our control due to this conditioning, we can choose what to say or not say, but there is no choosing in the thoughts that come through us. We can only choose to act on these thoughts or ignore them, if one cannot SEE this difference, blind to the unconscious are they, and one is left almost like a slave blindly reacting to emotions. This why all ancient religions, Zen masters and such, psychologist like Carl Jung, they ALL say the first step to understanding our-Self is to KNOW thyself. But that comes not by splitting the self into two parts, good and evil, mind and spirit, thought and controller, self and other, for the great spirit created our mind, so take a look a little closer inside. For the ONE who truly understands the Self, KNOWS that there IS NO controller of thoughts, only the awareness that stands behind IT! But this insight never arise until One faces their own Shadow, which is our unconscious mind, not by suppression but by direct observation, which is silent and non-judgmental, then transformation can occur. This is not opinion, but comes from the experience of DOING the deep inner work, just as many spiritual masters confirm that this IS the path to transformation. IT is even one of the basic steps in AA, for overcoming addictions and past traumas, for without embracing the spectrum of BEing, one is only modifying their behaviors, which in turn only strengthens the illusion of the ego. Thus why anger still arises in many, even in those who self proclaim themselves as good, as few of us seem to want to look at that Shadow Dragon that stands behind us, clutching our hearts with a closed fist. Yet we keep searching from others for the answers to this great mystery, but searching for answers from another is only searching for the limits of another persons conditioning and thinking. Searching within is what dissolves our false sense of self, and what arises IS the great silence of Self. And by this direct silent observation, just like when one observes any danger, the power of the influence of our thoughts simply dissolves away like the wind and the rain! ~DMT/Alistar Valadez...
