SHACK 34 STICKY

Wondering why thoughts are so sticky.  Asking someone are thoughts useful or even needed the response is invariably of course.

There is an urge to have a clear mind as if thoughts are not natural. Not that thoughts are wrong but they are dominant and demanding. The feeling is that thoughts are not really who a person is and there is something far deeper and significant.  Where thoughts originate from is the unconscious, a storehouse of the past and there is something beyond that or more fundamental.  This collection of memories, experiences bundled together and is the ego, not that this  is wrong or inappropriate, however one reacts to the past because it is known and presumably safe.

Life is about living in the now.  People who live in the wildernesses after leaving the city speak about Life is per chance, every day is different, not the desk or familiar route. Like the animals they have to hunt for food and some days they go empty, sometimes the weather is too severe, they have to let Life lead them.

There is something very special about letting Life lead one, taking a chance that something will come by, drift wood for fire, logs blown down by the wind for building and so forth, even trusting one's health will hold out.

So thoughts acting from the past form a false reality---they make things known, hopefully safe, and the supply is there. It can rob one of self reliance, not ego strength but on an unknown inner resource.

So thought becomes a reaction to the past triggered by something in the now but actually the now is only a replay of the past and often is the future, for the future is safe if it is known.

Is it possible to be thoughtless, not in the way of not caring, but wait patiently for the synchronization of Life to supply all?
