((( Awareness beyond thought )))

Awareness beyond thought

Your thoughts and sensations may often dominate your awareness. Remember, though, that your awareness exists beyond them.
Even when your thoughts are completely calmed, you are still very much aware. The thoughts and sensations come and go, and behind them all is your ever-present awareness.
 
The thoughts you have are the thoughts you choose to hold. They are not you. Although you may have been stuck in a negative, destructive thought pattern for years or even for decades, you always have the choice of letting it go. For ultimately, your thoughts do not create you or define you, and they do not have to hold you hostage.
When you know that you do not have to think, then you are free to think whatever you choose. When you experience your thoughts and sensations as objects flowing through your awareness, then they no longer have the power to hold you back.
Your mind is an enormously powerful tool that is yours to use as you choose. Cultivate awareness beyond your thoughts, and put all those thoughts to use in a positive, meaningful way.

Hey Isha help him out........ :wink:

hey...nothing wrong in that.....
really if you give it in simple words then its better..

sometimes its really hard to understand phyloshophy...........

thanks dost....
its now bit clear..............
thought makes who we are??
you see in india every one talks like socrates...
everyone want to tell the story.....everyone wants to guide.....
in public ...dont show thier real image..but someday it automatically come before you..............

dont you think thought without action is bekaar???

By Dr. Jill Ammon-Wexler,

Imagine each thought you think as a mental photograph.

When the thought is first exposed to your brain, very little happens. But as
you expose your mind to that thought again and again, the thought begins to
develop and hold an image in your mind's eye just like an exposed
photograph.

In fact, thoughts really ARE that powerful. Anything you focus on mentally
DOES develop into a strong interconnected network of neurons. That network
then holds that thought as an image. And your subconscious mind will then
push you to take the actions that will bring that image into reality.

This is not theory -- it is based on the research findings of modern
neuroscience.

You need to be careful about your thoughts, judgments, and viewpoints. If
you focus your mind on something you DON'T want -- you actually strengthen
the neural networks containing the image of that something.

That is why worrying about something actually drives you closer to that
something. Worry is actually a very powerful form of negative goal setting.
The more you worry about something, the stronger the neural networks
containing your worries become. And the stronger those physical networks --
the more likely your subconscious mind will drive you to take actions that
actually push you toward what you're worried about.

The Part Played by Emotion
The more emotion accompanying your worries, the stronger your neural
networks will become. Emotion -- whether positive or negative -- is a neural
supercharger. This includes stress -- which is driven by emotion!

You're getting the picture of the negative cycle that worry creates. The
more worries, the more stress. The more stress, the less creative and clear
your mind becomes. And the less creative you become, the less likely you
will EVER solve the problem you're worried about.

Plus the longer (and more passionately) you worry about something -- the
faster you are driven straight into the arms of what you're worried about.

A Proven Solution
There is one, and only one, solution to this. You must step out of the
stress/worry cycle, and direct your mental focus elsewhere.

What you focus on grows. This is why it's so very important NOT to focus on
your problems! You instead want to focus on creating positive solutions that
create something you DO want.

Here's a plan of action:
Convert your problems to goals,
Create a detailed goal-plan,
Break your goal-plan into the smallest possible daily steps, then ...
Begin to take action -- one step at a time.


And in the meantime:

1. Refuse to worry. Remember -- worry is a very powerful form of negative
goal setting.

2. Create a new mental image. Create and hold a mental image of how life
will be when you reach your goal. The more emotion you pack into that
positive image, and the more often you put your mental focus on it, the
stronger the neural networks holding that image will become.

3. Bust your stress. Unless you manage your stress, it will continue to
build negative neural networks. Don't kid yourself about stress -- it is at
the core of many serious life-threatening bodily conditions, and has a way
of "pretending not to be there." Brainwave training is the fastest answer to
instant stress reduction.

4. Build your self-confidence. Take some steps to build your self
confidence. A huge medical study showed that low self confidence and
negative thoughts cause your brain to physically shrink as much as 20%. Self
confidence is not a lightweight issue -- it places unrealistic limits on
your entire life!

5. Take care of your physical self. It can be easy to just take your mental
and physical health for granted until something happens. Simple dehydration
equal to two glasses of water, for example, has been shown to reduce your
mental performance as much as 50%. Add a walk and 20-minute workout to your
life, and you'll start to produce more feel-good brain neurotransmitters.

6. Grow your mind power. Your brain truly follows the same rule as your
muscles -- use it, or lose it! And today's scientific evidence is that your
brain is either growing, or it's physically shrinking

thanx a lot isha...

Worth Reading it..............

Horror gripped the heart of a World War-I soldier, as he saw his
lifelong friend fall in battle.The soldier asked his Lieutenant if he
could go out to bring his fallen comrade back."You can go," said the
Lieutenant," but don't think it will be worth it.
"Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your life away."
The Lieutenant's words didn't matter, and the soldier went anyway.
Miraculously, he managed to reach his friend, hoisted him onto his
shoulder and brought him back to their company's trench. The officer
checked the wounded soldier, then looked kindly at his friend."I told you
it wouldn't be worth it," he said. "Your friend is dead and you are
mortally wounded".



"It was worth it, Sir," said the soldier.



"What do you mean by worth it?" responded the Lieutenant."Your friend is
dead"."Yes Sir," the soldier answered,



"but it was worth it because when I got to him, he was still alive and I
had the satisfaction of hearing him say...."Jim...I knew you'd come."



Many times in life, whether a thing is worth doing or not, really
depends on how u look at it.

Take up all your courage and do something your heart tells you to do so
that you may not regret not doing it later in your life...............

This is a true story. Share this with your friends if u feel its good...
