AWARENESS OF THE THOUGHT PROCESS

I am not sure what I think about this yet, but I do find it interesting to let it mull around in my mind for a while.


"AWARENESS OF THE THOUGHT PROCESS

Awareness of the thought process at the moment of an impulse arising is what makes freedom from thought possible, because when the mind is only at the stage of an impulse arising, the energies haven’t fully engaged. There is an almost impartial quality about the energy of the impulse. When it is driven into specific thought, the situation changes and it becomes “my thought with my feeling, therefore me.” This is what is meant by being caught in the thought. The inner energy has transmuted from being something relatively neutral and therefore not very important or compelling into something entirely personal and therefore extremely important and compelling."
