It is almost impossible to stay centered when we swim and swirl about in a sea of turbulent emotions and erratic thoughts. But, not only do we get tossed about by “every wind and doctrine’ that lands itself on our ears during the day, but we subscribe to the notion that certain thoughts and ideas are of our own making.
Yes, we honestly believe we invent the thoughts and pride ourselves in mulling over the really good ones. Or, in the case of the bad thoughts, we lament ourse...lves and with others about how terrible things are according to the dictates of these thoughts.
I cannot think of a better definition of total insanity than to believe we create our own thoughts!
When we hear the words, “Follow the highest motivations within you”, how can we possibly do that when we don’t have an idea what that could be?
We are so filled, to overflowing, with the thoughts, ideas, notions, and sayings of others (whether from family, friends, lovers, and/or authorities} that to realize we have never originated a single thought of our own baffles us. Well, more than baffles us; we simply don’t believe it!
We have, {in spite of the onrush of all the roaming thoughts and because of the obsessive nature of ourselves, with the continual focus and importance we place on the thoughts and ideas surrounding ourselves}, made up a believable story about us which we continue to feed and nurture.
We get so hung up on ourselves, going over and over and over the same old thoughts. We just add new flavors, varieties and colors to them depending on the day and hour.
It’s monotonous and boring; yet, we continue to talk and refer to nothing but ourselves in same way at all times. If the conversation veers away from us, you can be damned sure it will come back around, momentarily, just hold on!
Not only do we stick with the assault of bulleted thoughts about “Us” and rummage through the thoughts of yesterday, today and tomorrow associated, we start picking apart the thoughts into small segments of a more digestible form.
IF we don’t like what we’re thinking about, or how we are thinking about it, then, we start thinking how to change that thought or at the very least, move it around into another area of our minds until we can make it more palatable.
Have you ever once considered what precedes thought? I mean, what could possibly be the motivating impetus behind all of them? Where do they really come from and what purpose do they serve? Just something to think about. Ha. Ha.

Ludicrous. Absolute insanity.

In other words, we are so damn stuck on ourselves, we don’t know the way to the bathroom without reading the sign that blinks in red letters, “Bathroom.”
