Mental Obsession Monologue.
If the premise of our use of thought has been problematic throughout human history it is well worth considering the root of that problem. This is not to suggest what is said here does that - while the chance to reinforce the value of our experiences is the chance to recognize what we share in common and thus know .
This segment broadly makes several points:
- It is up to each of us to do what we do with what we think and thus what we hear. Honesty exposes lies since the clarity of their defensive nature becomes obvious. Defensive tendencies protect insecure thoughts since we know they are at risk.
- If what is said was a telling to you or about you the suggestion you don't already know would be mistaken. If there is an All-Knowing State of Conscious Awareness - we are aware of it and know it. Talking about it helps confirm our common awareness.
- Understanding is not required to know what we know. Yet when we use thought as our only source of presumed knowing we are misunderstanding our source.
- Knowledge feels right even when we struggle to understand it. This phenomenon clarifies our knowing awareness as it does thinking's constant struggle to know. Not understanding is caused by thought, not reality. This is why we can feel something is right as quickly as we can sense something is wrong - even when we don’t understand what “it” is. We need not understand a cause to appreciate its effect.
- Effects, like feelings, reactions, impulses, and compulsions are observable reflections of what we think. When a reflection is disturbed it is a disturbed cause that is reflected.
- We are Present as are all things happening. Thinking is something we do; an action we choose to take in relation to what is happening. If we have a problem it is what is occurring now, as we are thinking now, that determines whether the problem grows when we deny what is happening or vanishes as we see it as it is happening.
- There is nothing that is not connected to here now so there is no amount of anything else anywhere else with anyone else that can make now more or less than everything presently. This is why enough is never enough, as there is nothing out there - at some other time that isn't imagined - since it, whatever it is, always here now.
- Forgiveness is Present as all that is, is as it is, now. Forgiveness is release once we stop condeming ourselves to thinking of things as they are not.
- Our brain is the pain and pleasure center of our body. Our thoughts emulate from there. There is nothing that can cause a greater impact on our experience than what we think about. Mental anguish from obsessive thoughts is immediate since the cause and effect are immediately registered in our brains.
- Consideration is an awakened ever-present state of meditative awareness. Consideration has no bounds or it would be inconsiderate.
- Imagine what, why, where, when and how cause doubt since they are questions. To ask questions about things that are assured is questionable.
- Imagine THAT things are as they are is assured - so it is not things that cause doubt. No doubt!
