Freedom From Thoughts


In my experience, it is not someone
outside us who is trying to propel
and recycle our thoughts! Thoughts are
propelled, created and recycled by us!
Though, much of this might happen
'indirectly', unconsciously and there
might be some delay between... 'what we
do now' and the thoughts that appear
later!
reedom from thoughts looks
impossible until you become free of
them! Even the desires to be 'free of
them' looks just like another thought
which in turn seem to only start more
thoughts!
- When you find yourself submerged in
thoughts, only thing that does work
is... surrender! That is giving up all
'efforts', giving up all 'desires',
giving up all 'care', giving up all...
'doing'! That is... __Playing Dead__!
Imagine... what responses, what efforts
would occur... if you were dead just
this very Moment! Make only those
efforts that someone dead can make
i.e. make No Effort! In my experience,
this does work!
... surrender is not that'I have
given myself to God and I know only
*good* will happen'!... surrender
is 'I am not making any effort now and
I don't care what happens'!
Once you reach the state of 'no thought'...
you see the *ground* on which
thoughts *grow*! This is the SPACE
where you have power to truly see,
observe, select and cultivate thoughts!
This SPACE is also known as Pure
Awareness, Consciousness... it is also
known as Peace! Until we reach that
SPACE... our effort is best directed
only to reach this space rather than
trying to stop thoughts! Surrender is a
great way to reach that Space!

As long as we remain in *touch* with
this Space, we have Power! [Inner Peace
is our Power!]! Once we lose touch with
this Space, we are powerless again and
we tend to become increasingly more
submerged [in thoughts] and
increasingly more powerless! Surrender
['no effort'] is again the way that can
get us *in touch* with Inner Peace!

- When we remain *rooted* in Peace, we
remain __At Home__, we remain in the
position of our Power and the things,
events lose their heaviness! They lose
their heaviness because we realize that
we *already* have that which matters
Most... we have Peace!
