We know that when we 'believe in our thoughts' ...this is insane. The thing is, we can't 'fight' thoughts with more thoughts.<br />Two things come in to play: it is easier to understand that people have insane thoughts when i, myself, see that my own thoughts have been equally insane....and in this seeing, we can know, that the thoughts arise unconsciously...as we awaken we see this, and with this awareness, "the conscious choices" come automatically. Difficult to explain with words, because, the effect of it is beyond the words...the words just point...always have, always will... awakening is the recognition of this!...<br />Paradoxically it is simple, yet 'not easy' to come into understanding through the mind. The mind fears becoming ineffective as the heart awakens... in conjunction, is truly the way we 'consciously' function. This is not a 'doing'...it is an 'allowing'..of the two to merge.<br /><br />If you remember the earliest point of yourself as a child, and imagine each step 'forward' from that point...you see, that innocence is *never* lost... only conditioning comes in to play to obsure our inherent being.
