The Nonsense of Thinking
From the book ‘Knowing Yourself.’
Will our bodies, our families, our countries, be any less safe if we stop thinking?
Are they any less safe at this moment? ~ although you are not thinking now, and may never think again.
If someone walks in now and tells you your house is on fire, you will still take immediate action.
Follow this closely, because at this moment you are experiencing the truth of what is being said. You are looking for the fact. So you are not thinking or talking.
What is this nonsense of thinking all about? We don’t use it when we are taking action. We don’t use it when we are listening. We certainly don’t use it to experience love or the beauty of a sunset.
The fact is that we think when we are unconscious of being alive, when we have lost contact with reality.
Thinking is us dreaming while we imagine we are awake.
And most of our talking is also dreaming ~ expressed in words instead of thoughts.
I don’t worry
